Chapter 21: Genius Elves (1)

"It's amazing. Was it full body armor? No, I think it's too slim for armor. Should I say that it feels like an assassin would wear it?"

Ironlil gave a surprised expression as he touched the black body armor here and there.

"I don't know what kind of material it is, but it is very densely made. It has excellent elasticity, and unlike its appearance, it is not even beige with any sword. Light armor pads that protect vital areas, elbows, and knees are also very hard, unlike light materials. Besides, it's amazing to see how your physical ability increases dramatically just by wearing it. I've never heard of such armor in the world. no. It's a bit like an armor. If it's a suit that assassins like to wear... ."

Even the five-handed Iron Reel didn't know what the black full body armor was for.

There are few things that the Dwarves are unaware of in the world.

No matter how mysterious the material, it inevitably goes through the hands of the creator.

However, of course, there were materials that they did not know.

These are the things that existed before the world reset.

Little is known about what the world was like before, and what things existed.

The material of the black full body armor must have existed before the world reset.

Jamie said.

[Very thin. So, it feels like a thin thread that is difficult to describe as thin is connected to muscles, bones, blood vessels, qi blood, and mana core.]

Is it a feeling that a thin thread that cannot be grasped with the naked eye has forcibly increased the performance of the entire body?

It's not just about getting stronger, faster, and jumping better.

It was as if he had acquired a bird's eye just by looking at it immediately.

what else is the sound

Like a rabbit's hearing, if you concentrate, you can hear the villagers murmur in the distance.

It was the voices of women.

-Well, what do you mean, yesterday the new pretty haired bachelor took down Mr. Hawks?

-Oh? really? no wonder. He was tall, had a strong body, and had a handsome face.

- How!

-no! What's so good about you guys saying Mr. Hawks lost?! How good Mr. Hawks was to us!

- Oh, no. We didn't mean it that way... .

-You say you're handsome when you say you're handsome, so what do you say?!

-What did you say? Hawks is also handsome... !

I decided to stop listening.

Jamie's face turned into an embarrassment.

If his face had not been covered with a helmet, Ironlil would have revealed his blushing face.

Ironlil, unaware of this, heard Jamie's words and thought carefully before opening his mouth.

"You could call it a reinforced suit. No such thing exists. Even so, it's amazing. That's amazing performance. How the hell did you get it to work? No matter how hard I tried, there was no response. By the way ."

Ironlil tilted his head slightly to the side and asked Jamie.

"It's mana, but black mana was put in Did it work?"

Until now, he had only shown interest in armor, so I thought he had never seen black mana infused.

Well, it couldn't be.

He was a dwarf if he had a keen eye, but among them, one of the most talented people could not miss the operation method.

[ ] As you can see.]

"Were you a warlock? That said, the purity of mana is very high."

[I am not an ordinary warlock.]

"That's right."

Ironlil didn't seem to have any prejudices about Jamie being a warlock.

Usually, though, it causes a match and is hostile.

This is probably because there is almost no contact point between dwarves and warlocks.

Most of the dwarves are craftsmen who make things out of minerals, but warlocks are people who fiddle with things that are taboo in the shade.

In addition, the dwarves were based in places other than the human world, so warlocks hardly ever went there.

said Ironlil.

"Don't do anything bad. Because karma is something that goes round and round and comes back to you."

[Uh, um. It's a lot different from those warlocks, but I'll be careful.]

"But how do you take it off? Take it off."

Ironreel was more interested in black full body armor than the fact that Jamie was a warlock.

Jamie nodded, thinking about taking off her armor.

Then the entire armor wobbled and began to seep into Jamie's skin.

As the armor was completely absorbed into the body, the two faced each other and were unable to speak for a while.

It was as if he had become permanently integrated with Jamie's body.

* * *

Iron Reel muttered with a sad face.

"Ugh. I wanted to open it up, but I couldn't."

"I never thought it would be absorbed into the body."

"I must have been the parasitic type. Well, it's amazing because it's so strange as it is."

He referred to the full body armor as a 'parasitic type', which refers to a type of weapon parasitic on the body.

Jamie had never seen a parasitic-type weapon, so he knew it was a later technology.

"Maybe this isn't high-tech."

"What is it?"

"I don't know too well, but it's a future technology that existed in the past. I did find some traces of it, but most of them were so badly damaged that I couldn't even properly analyze them. I wonder if your parasitic type armor is a product of high technology. I don't know for sure, but it's definitely something that can't be made with the current technology.

Although the world was restarted several times with the World Reset, I was slightly proud to think that mankind had invented so many things.

'Humans have been constantly striving for development.'

high technology.

It felt good to put it in your mouth.

Jamie raised his right hand and imagined the armored part of the black armor.

Then, tiny cubes of granules rose above the skin and wrapped around the right hand.

"Black suit. It's called Black Suit.

"A black suit?"

Yes. It's a simple name, but I can't think of a better name for it."

"Black Straw ."

I thought Jamie wasn't a bad name either.

"It will be very useful."

Black mana seeped over the gloves.

Ironlil smiled contentedly and turned to the side.

"Wow, what a surprise! What else are you doing?!"

Jamie looked back at Ironreel in surprise.

Standing there stood an elf with turquoise hair without a hood, Nel-Sharan.

Perhaps because it was a bright day, her face was clearly visible unlike yesterday.

At night, the white skin still stood out, but on a bright day, it was pale.

I said everything because I could see the thread veins on the inside of my skin.

Jamie took the black mana and put the armor part of the black suit back into her skin.

"What is that?"

Nell-Sharan asked, pointing to Jamie's right hand.

"Why did you come here without a word, little girl? I thought it was going to fall off."

"Hello inspiration."

"Hello, bitch. You're trying to surprise an old man!

surprised?

"You just said you were surprised! So why did you come again? Is your wand broken?"

At first, I thought they were on a bad relationship, but it seemed that they had a friendly relationship with Iron Reel just grunting.

Nell-Sharan also seemed to come often.

She shook her head and pointed to Jamie.

"I came."

"You said you came to this guy?"

Huh.

"You're in trouble."

why?

When Jamie asked, Ironlil scratched the side of his head for nothing.

"Nell is the kind of person who relentlessly pursues something he is interested in. It's not like they're constantly chasing them, but they appear suddenly at some point. Just like right now."

Come to think of it, yesterday too, Nel-Sharan appeared out of the blue.

The scary thing is that I didn't feel the sign.

It was like that today.

'Is this a specialized ability?'

A truly terrifying assassin's talent?

She didn't look like an assassin type, but she didn't know that she was a person.

Above all, although she was an elf, she had an elf-like personality.

If I ask him what his elf-like personality is, Jamie doesn't have anything else to say, but he did anyway.

Yes. Are you interested in me?"

Huh.

why?

share. uh share?

What do you want to say?

Looking at Ironreel, he frowned.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't even know what he's thinking.

"Weren't you friendly?"

"It's different from that. He's even more geek than me. Maybe there's no one more geeky than him in Frontier, right?

yes it looked

Nell-Sharan shook her head from side to side and said, 'Sharing? Share?' He just repeated the same words.

Then, realizing that, he lifted his head and shouted.

A.C! Interact!"

Jamie just wanted to leave.

* * *

So why did this happen?

Jamie was looking at the excited elf's back with a slightly disapproving expression.

"Huh-huh-huh-huh-"

Not knowing how to hum properly, he twitches his ass with excitement.

Nell-Sharan had now brought Jamie to her lab.

She, who had a very cold impression on the outside, was now very excited, flapping her nostrils and preparing something.

At first, 'Exchange! Exchange!', I thought, maybe she wanted to have a magical exchange, but after following along, what she was looking for was not something like an exchange.

this! This is great!"

She shoved a lump of scrap metal forward and blew out her nose with a face begging for quick praise.

If it's an ability to use a pretty face like that, is it an ability?

Aside from that, Jamie swallowed the breeze as she looked at the chunk of scrap metal she held out.

'What's this? Is it a mana amplifier? Even though the design is seriously bad for something like that... The output is very high, isn't it?'

The aesthetics are very poor, but in terms of performance, it belongs to the very well made axis.

Are you interested in creating artifacts?

how?

Nell-Sharan asked, her eyes twinkling.

Jamie looked around at the chunk of scrap and handed it to her.

"Not bad."

Not wanting to show a reaction of surprise, Jamie responded bluntly.

Huh Something else. Show me something else."

Then Nel-Sharan went back to the desk crying.

Her desk was littered with objects that looked like scrap metal.

The parts were also scattered around, but it seemed that he was the type of person who didn't organize everything at all.

He wasn't like an elf who likes to be neat.

'Are you mixed race? If not... .'

She didn't look like a mixed race, but from her personality and behavior, she didn't look like a normal elf.

Then, someone approached from behind.

long time no see.

was bra.

It's been 5 years since I met her, but nothing has changed.

Because he's an elf.

"I kept muttering your name, and you finally got me here."

me?

"I think the fight with the Hawks was very impressive."

Come to think of it, even when the fight with the Hawks was about to end, Nel-Sharan suddenly appeared.

He uttered an unfamiliar sound and disappeared suddenly.

"He's a unique kid."

"I think I lacked a lot of social skills."

"Look good. In human language, it is also called Servant Syndrome."

Savant Syndrome.

It appears only in a small percentage of people with autism, and is a so-called symptom of overwhelming ability in one field.

Somehow, I was wondering what it was because a normal elf was a class 9 archmage.

Instead of being inexperienced with other people, she was gifted with an overwhelmingly superior magical talent.

That made a normal elf, not a high elf, reach the supreme state.

But Jamie thought a little differently.

"But this guy isn't just born with magical talent. To be precise, I was gifted with magical talent due to Servant Syndrome, but if it had been for that, I would not have reached the level I am today."

"What do you mean?"

Jamie saw Nell-Sharan happy to fiddle with the things that were lying on the desk.

"Is that guy so obsessed with making things that he started learning magic?"

Savant's syndrome is a symptom that eventually derives from autism.

And people with autism tend to have a strong obsession with things.

Nell-Sharan was obsessed with making something, and at the same time realized that it needed magic and began to learn magic.

Braha nodded as if agreeing to that thought.

You're right. That kid, it's been a bit harsh since I was little. So I was very upset."

As he recalled old memories, Braha gave a somewhat bitter expression.

A cousin, she grew up with Nell-Sharan, and she knew better than anyone what her life was like.

Braha asked Jamie with a surprised look.

"But why do you know me so well?"

"I know a guy like him."

- Diablo! Diablo! It's a golem! It's a golem I made! I like golems! Make a bunch, Golem!

Watching Nell-Sharan reminded me of another long-forgotten relationship.

At the same time.

Memories that had been sleeping slowly began to come to mind.
