I've never had a conversation with Kisca until now, not because of accident, but because she intentionally avoided me in the middle. She is the same escort as Fima, and she is the closest escort to Agat and Rand. That's why he paid close attention to the protection of Fima and kept conversations and other conversations to a minimum. In addition, Fima and Rand already have some confidence in me, but I and Real are still outside collaborators. There has always been no betrayal, and we have been observing so far.
When asked why he had a normal conversation with me at this stage, it was because Kisca's eyes had determined that we were reliable people. If I wanted to do harm to the gamer, there were many opportunities. But in the end, I didn't show any harm to the gamer, and even in the second undercover attack, I struggled to protect him. I was convinced that there was no longer any doubt about us.
Well, finally, after a decent exchange with the three servants, the next problem emerged.
"Is this the evil of real fantasy?" "You don't occasionally shout out what's meaningless. Is that a culture from another world?"
Spreading in front of us is the goblin's "wreckage." Of course, this is the end of the realm of the beast that Real intercepted and land intercepted.
In the game, monster carcasses disappear immediately, but in a realistic fantasy world, of course, they do not naturally disappear. The beast remains normally and rots as time goes by. The rotten corpse then becomes the source of the plague or transforms into an "undet" demon.
For adventurers and travelers, the "processing" of excluded monsters is a matter of course and a duty. And we are currently fulfilling our obligations on an ongoing basis.
Rather, the corpses are piled up too much and hindering the carriage.
"I didn't know why there was a scoop in the luggage in the carriage, but that's why." "Apart from a few, it would take too much time to put them together in one place and burn them all at once. "
Real, as the word suggests, scoops the goblin corpse with a scoop and holds it in one place on the side of the road. I make a scoop out of ice and do the same job. He doesn't think he's sweeping the carcasses, but he tells himself he's processing red and green snow and immerses himself in the work. It's a bit tough if you don't think so.
"It's good because there's no burning thing around, but what if you're in the woods? What's bad? Wildfires." "If you're in the woods, the native monsters will handle the corpses themselves. It doesn't matter if it rots, it replaces fertilizer and becomes part of the forest. ''
Depending on the monster, a part of the corpse may be used as a material for making various tools, and some adventurers use the "monster hunting" that seeks it. These areas are the standard flow of RPG. By the way, goblin corpses have little usefulness, and rarely possess weapons that they possess, but they have a low probability of hunting a hundred.
"It is the duty of the rebels to deal with the corpses of monsters, but it is basically safe to leave them alone, as we have just said, because the monsters living in the vicinity will treat them for food. As expected, it would not be possible to handle this amount, and it would be difficult to turn it into fertilizer in a dry land like this. In such a case, there is no choice but to burn or bury. "
That's why Real and I will collect the dead bodies in one place.
What did Agat and Rand do during this time?
Agat is stuck on the side of Fima and is on duty as an escort. The masks that overwhelmed the Fima were able to defeat all of them, including the first four, for the first time. However, there is no guarantee that there will be no further additions, and he is becoming more vigilant. He is on guard with Kisuka on the carriage.
Rand interrogates the three dead and the last to remain unconscious. He is searching for personal information and personal clues on the background behind the assailant. He seems to interrogate a fainted person as soon as his consciousness returns.
"I guess I can't talk straight. Someone hired for assassination." "I don't know. But there is information that can be read only by attitude or utterance. Interrogation is not a specialty, so I can't say anything more. I have no choice but to leave it to Rand. ''
I remember a certain scene in a criminal drama. In the interrogation room, a detective in charge interrogates a suspect. The sight of the land in a suit looking into the mask was floating in my mind. The dandy handsome man was well dressed in fashion beyond the dimension.
Anyway, such a delusion.
"Real, how do you see this raid?" "Probably the same expectation as you. You can understand that the goblin ambushes. You can understand." "I give up a hundred steps." It's rare, but it's rare. But more than that, it's unlikely that such a goblin would be attacked at once by a single family.
Few corpses are satisfactory, but there are still roughly a few hundred goblin corpses scattered around.
"At most, twenty or thirty. If you go beyond that, there will be various inconsistencies, even in your family. There are territorial struggles, the share of food, etc. It seems that there was something external rather than a natural phenomenon. No doubt. ''
As expected, in my case, I realized that the atmosphere felt from the whole goblin contained some intentional thing, not instinct.
"Are you aware of the external factors?" "There are some people in the world who are known as" the monster beasts. "There is a way to follow and use the monsters by using some kind of technique. You can make a contract with the individual dragon and call it at will to use it. This is also a rough betrayal of the demon beast master. "
To put it simply from what we heard, the demon seems to have some control over the behavior. Don't be a beast master in the real world.
"But what I mean by 'contract' requires mutual understanding between the contractor and the contract object. For that purpose, the contract object requires a high degree of intelligence. Although not very much, it is impossible with the goblin. There are contracts that force us to do that. ''
In the first place, goblins have only the lowest rank as monsters. There is no advantage to having a magical contract.
"If you're manipulating this much, it's much more efficient to follow a higher monster."
However, Real adds a glimpse of the carriage.
"If we were hit with this goblin without us, we wouldn't have had enough time for the Fima and the rest of the squad. If there were assassin assaults, there was no way to prevent it unless you noticed Because everyone in that place was concentrated on the goblins ahead. Well, of course, in that situation. "" The thing is that the guy who is hitting the goblin and the assassin are connected equally. "It's natural to think so. There are still a lot of mysteries. Everything is situational evidence, and both may be completely different."
There is no end to saying that. Investigation of the facts ends at this point. I hope Rand will procure information from the survivors of the mask.
After about an hour, the goblin carcass is finally collected in one place. Along with the goblin scraping (not bad at all) that couldn't be scraped by snow, my mind was working while scraping.
The pile of dead goblin corpses has become quite large. The spectacle of green hands, feet, and head protruding from the surface of the mountain is really uncomfortable.
"Then stay away."
Telling him, we go down behind her. After confirming that, Fima raises his hand toward the goblin mountain. When I muttered small, there was a geometric pattern as if the mask had been squashed. One for each hand.
First, the right hand technique emits light, and the wind heads for the pile of carcasses. No aggressive phenomena, such as tearing or blowing, occur.
The wind continued to blow for about a minute, and then a fireball was fired from the left hand technique. The size is slightly larger than the fist. The kind of fire is a little small to ignite the fire on that pile of carcasses.
However, the moment the fireball touched the pile of carcasses, it roared and burned violently. The size of the fire swells at once, swallowing up the carcasses and burning off.
"I hear that Miss Fima was good at wind-style techniques, but I wonder if she could use a flame system at this point. I'm afraid." "No. As I said before, I'm learning only wind-style techniques. The magic type is the main. The other three systems are about the minimum level of adventurers. Of course, the fire attribute is also. "" But this firepower has an intermediate level of flame attribute? "" This is a wind system I just used magic and used it. Maybe you can understand Kanna? "
When I was asked by Fima, I thought a bit and remembered a long time ago about science lessons.
"Isn't the magic of the first wind that you collected a certain gas? So the next fireball burned it all at once"
Clicka and Fima snapped their fingers.
"We decomposed the components in the air and collected only oxygen. It takes a little time for the effect to work, so it can not be used for battle, but it is a very handy method if you want a big fire."
Real doesn't seem to understand Real even by the explanation of the redhead magician, he just leans his head. It is a science experiment that every junior high school student knows is the real world, but is it rare knowledge for humans in this world?
"By the way, this time we collected oxygen mainly, but if we replace it with hydrogen, it will be as powerful as blowing around here." "Hydrogen ... It seems that it can be used for hydrogen fuel"
In the real world, new technologies using hydrogen were being developed, but the biggest bottleneck was the situation of hydrogen supply. It seems that it costs a lot to extract only hydrogen from the air, but it seems that hydrogen can be easily supplied by using fantasy world magic.
To my muttering, Fima's eyes glowed sharply. Her eyes changed so much that she seemed to shine. It's like a herbivore transformed into a carnivore.
"Hey, let's talk about the current story in detail."
Gasima suddenly catches his shoulders.
"Hydrogen as fuel? I had no idea. Well, that explosive power is certainly effective. In a foreign country, a thing called" steam engine "is being developed. New power using heat already exists You can just use the heat without using steam. If you use oxygen, you can't save much energy just by burning it, but the explosive power of hydrogen is fine. "
Ah, this is the same face I had when I first used spiritism in front of the Fima. Curiosity and motivation for research have gone away.
"I'm still far from it. I can't fool the court magicians of the country. I end up seeing magic only as a tool of war. The point of view is just too close. We must be more liberal: attack magic is just a small part of the field of magic, and it's true that it has led to the development of magic, but even if the theory was cut off as unnecessary, It is an essential element in the field of art.The important thing is not to be bound by existing preconceptions, but to explore all possible possibilities.It is necessary for future magical development. "Calm down"
Span!
“Huh!? ……… a”
I grabbed my hammer and Fima returned to me. I noticed the warm gaze of Real and I who couldn't say anything and turned my face red.
"I'm sorry. If I'm in front of something I'm interested in, my eyes just won't go around ..." "I'm fine."
If the scene where the pile of dead bodies was burning was not a background, I was allowed to leave it alone. My discomfort index is about to exceed the limit due to the smell of burning meat.
"Bad, can we talk about it after we get out of the valley? We'll hear as much as we can once we've settled down in a safe place." "Well, if you're talking now Not at all. "
At least, it's not about engulfing goblin slag.
"Mr. Fiamma, hopefully I would like to teach me about" Kagaku "such as" Sanso "and" Suiso. "It's rather lonely that I can't just talk.
Real raised his hand and made such a wish. I thought it was a kid who wanted to ask a teacher in the classroom.
"Oh, I'm glad about that. I'm just glad to be interested in science."
I thought I was like a teacher answering such a child's question here. Had such a beautiful young teacher with big breasts had I taken classes more seriously?
She concluded that she was too worried about her boobs and would not be in class.
