Chapter 421
Already in the middle of the day, the dwarves and human blacksmiths are busy working.
When I ask Aken, “Is there any problem until the train is completed?”, he snorts and boasts.
“No worries!”
That means no problem. Got it, kid.
“Come to think of it, wasn’t it about time that your child, Arell, was born soon? Is it time to care about things like this?”
Arken, who was checking parts for the train, suddenly asked.
“Even if I don’t worry too much, at least I’m stuck at home.
And it\'s still a long way from being born. You just talked about it a while ago. You stupid dwarf.”
“Is it? Right.”
“Ugh.”
Where did he hear my story?
It is still far away.
Still, if it\'s long, is it long? If it\'s short, is it short?
“Um… I don’t know when a human child is born. I thought it would be a bit shorter. Wasn\'t it about two months?”
“No, humans aren\'t dogs of any kind... They\'re probably no different from dwarves, right? Aren’t dwarves also 10 months old?”
“Is it? Well, it\'s been quite a while since my daughter was born, so I\'m confused.”
Hearing Aken\'s reply, nodding as if he understood something, I blinked my eyes in silence for a moment.
What did this muscle mass say?
daughter?
“Aken, did you have children?”
shock!
I could never have thought that this dwarf was married.
You might even have kids.
But this guy never went back to his hometown after being hired here.
How many years have you been?
....I see, there was a wild goose father here too.
I felt a little pity.
“...What is that uneasy look?”
Arken was a bit disgusted and lightly tapped the parts with a tool.
I just smiled benevolently and patted his shoulder.
“Don\'t worry Aken. The children in my hometown will probably grow up well. Even if I forget your face, I will live happily ever after.”
“I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding. To begin with, the daughter has already grown up a long time ago. It looks like you have a grandson now.”
“ah? what? Was it like that?”
Sheesh, I suffered a loss because I felt pity for nothing.
By the way, is his son also a blacksmith?
When I asked, Aken shook his head saying no.
“Looking at the letter I received a while ago, it seems that the son-in-law is trying to do something other than blacksmithing.”
“Something else?”
“It looks like he’s trying to make something unknown. It seems that my daughter is helping with that too. Chet, the family business didn\'t help even if it died. Hmm... It\'s been a while since I haven\'t returned to my hometown, so maybe it\'s changed quite a bit...?
Then I might have to go back and take a look.”
“...food.”
Ignoring Aken who recalled something as if he was nostalgic, I muttered in a timid voice.
Come to think of it, why do I remember the dwarves who were baking crepes in Kelia?
I\'m sure it\'s not.....
I\'ll stop chatting and ask again about the progress of the work.
“so? Are there enough parts?”
“Once it is. Assembly is not particularly difficult, so the product to be tested will be completed soon.”
Aken replied as if it was nothing.
Since they already had experience in directing the development of huge trade ships, the blacksmiths did not have to worry about making a new train.
“As long as there are no problems, you can operate it as it is. Well, that\'s the story when you, Arel, got the dredge design right.”
“don\'t worry. It probably won\'t be any problem.”
I don\'t know if it\'s made from zero, but I don\'t think there\'s a problem with it because it\'s reproduced by copying the original structure.
Of course, I\'ll do the test properly.
As long as nothing else happens, there won\'t be any problems.
I just shrug my shoulders and watch their work.
are you okay. Even if there is a problem, I can do it somehow.
Even if a problem arises, I have no intention of blaming you guys, so please rest assured.
As I nodded and was pleased with myself, Aken spoke to me again as if something came to mind.
“Come to think of it, is it really true that this train has moved to another country?”
“Oh that? hmm. what is it But who is that?”
“The last time I went down for a drink, I heard something like that.”
Apparently, he also heard the rumors.
It hasn\'t been announced extensively yet, and it\'s only recently that we\'ve reached an agreement on it.
Hmm... I guess I can guess where it came from.
It\'s not that some particularly talkative guy was bewitched by the information.
In the first place, there are many movements in this plan, and the amount of money flowing is also large.
For this project, not only our side, but also each Grand Prize meeting moved a large number of people to reduce funds.
Of course, materials and money flows are blatantly fluctuating, so it is natural that they stand out.
“Since the route construction continues outside, of course they will notice.”
Over the past few months, work has been going on to lay the tracks to run the trains.
Originally, it was a large-scale construction project that required more funds and personnel than expected, but with magic and excellent manpower, the construction speed was faster than expected.
If the track extends outward, even a child will be sure enough.
“Is it really going to lead to other countries?”
“yes. We have already made an agreement to do so.”
Of course, there was a sluggish wait until that conclusion was reached.
Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be quite troubled.
It looks like there was quite a bit of chaos outside.
“I thought there would be a lot of opposition.
Unexpected.”
Of course there were many
I heard that some nobles from other countries went to the brink of armed conflict because of their opposition.
I mean, it was pretty bad.
“Even so, if you kick the offer, you can’t ignore the situation when you fall behind. In the end, I have no choice but to accept it.”
Because there is a big difference between simply going by wagon and sending goods by train.
In the end, they failed to overcome the temptation of the benefits that the train would bring and the pressure of each target meeting.
“For now, as a test, we decided to lay the tracks only to cities near the border.”
It was also the result of negotiations.
It can also be said to be a futile effort.
In the end, the measures they came up with were allowed, but only limited to the outlying trading cities of each country.
I immediately accepted the offer.
If you push it further right now, you will only live against it.
“Hehehehehe, it\'s obvious that the track will soon lead to the inside.”
Do you really think that the citizens and the Sanghoe will stay still after they get a taste of the train?
Little by little, the tracks will dig in.
Convenience is bound to seduce people endlessly.
When you stand, you want to lie down, and when you lie down, you don\'t want to get up.
It is believed that it is only a matter of time before the track continues to the inside.
“Hmm... It\'s probably not something a blacksmith would interfere with. But Arell? Are there enough materials to complete those tracks and trains?”
“Ah… that?”
The materials to craft the proper tracks and trains.
In other words, they are concerned about the remaining amount of iron, including titanium.
This is because there is clearly a limit to the reserves of the mines currently owned by the Fahilia side.
There\'s a gradual decline there.
Aken also warned that he knew the approximate reserves.
“It will definitely not be enough.”
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. Because we have secured additional mines.”
There is a burial place that I noticed when I asked for compensation for my past achievements.
It is now in a push and pull over its mining rights.
It wasn\'t long before I got my hands on it.
“That\'s why you\'ll be busy from now on, but cheer up. We will provide you with sufficient compensation. And we will fill in the number of people.”
“...Then it doesn\'t matter.”
“And your pay too.”
Sooner or later, I will teach you how to make another metal.
When I pointed out the meaning, Aken just snorted.
“Heung Bae, this time, even something like running on the ground. What do you want by making this endlessly?”
“What is it? It’s obvious.”
I sharpen my eyes
“A world where you can put anything in your hand and go anywhere. What a world I am comfortable with.”
He said something very obvious.
Anyway, this is all made for me. That\'s all.
“....And what bothers me about that is..
“Hmm? what did you say?”
When Archen frowned and asked if he hadn\'t heard it because of the sound of the tool being struck, I shook my head saying no.
I stared somewhere outside and fiercely exposed my teeth.
“I can’t tolerate being intrusive.”
My eyes certainly do not miss.
A small, brown-skinned girl.
The girl, who was called a reincarnated person and trainer, flinched at that moment.
“???? crazy.”
Oh my, even curse words that I don’t normally use came out.
Can not help it.
Under the current circumstances, if she were allowed to tell her how she felt honestly, she would want to dig a hole in the snow and pour out all the swear words in the world.
“…Do you usually notice from this street?”
Arel\'s studio, and a snowy field dozens of kilometers away from the city where it is located.
Covered in a blanket the same color as snow, hiding there, she was struggling to carry out the errand he had asked him to do.
First of all, I tried to look at the state of Arell...
I was going to take a look at the artifact that doesn\'t leak mana at all because I thought it would be discovered if I used magic, but the moment I glanced over there.
It made eye contact with him.
It\'s not brushed.
He has a frivolous and ferocious smile, and even his eyes are shining fiercely.
unconditionally heard.
‘First of all, Cheolsu...
It\'s his errand, but looking at Arell\'s smile right now, I don\'t think anything good will happen if I approach him like this.
Even if you notice it, it will take about two seconds for it to arrive!
Then, in the meantime, you can plan an escape!
‘I\'d better step back and look for opportunities again!\'
She hurriedly got up and turned her back.
and that moment.
Someone\'s palm gently wrapped around her face.
“Where are you going little girl?”
Through the gap between the palms that covered her vision, she saw a gray-haired young man with a bright, cool smile.
“This is my territory. Do you really think it will take two seconds to come?”
“...Ah... Mr....
The swear words that were about to come out of her mouth became unheard as Arel threw her to the floor without hesitation.
* * *
Even if you don\'t, there are a lot of things these days, so I\'ve hidden various surprise devices in the territory.
From the beginning, I thought that things like this would sneak in, and I was trying to prepare at any time.
And sure enough, one was caught.
At once, without even checking his face, I grabbed his face and slammed him to the floor with all my might.
It sounds like a joke, but it shows its strength for a moment, so simply slamming its head into the ground blows away all the eyes around it and creates a huge crater on the floor.
However, the feeling of my hand was empty, as if it was not enough to handle it with this.
lack of taste
“Above… DANGER!!”
Isn\'t that brown-skinned girl who managed to get out of my grasp panting and her complexion pale?
I couldn\'t handle it.
I clicked my tongue, but now I noticed that the kid\'s face was familiar.
“uh? Are you that kid from the Holy Kingdom back then?”
yes that\'s the guy
The kid who handed Delneph to the saintess in the Holy Land and then got beaten up by my alter ego.
nice to meet you
My father\'s smile spreads.
And an ominous sound rang out from my hand.
Even if you don\'t, I was hoping that if I ran into you again, I would beat you up without mercy.
