Chapter. 18. World 4 (6)

“Hmm hmmm~”
Katrea felt good.
The train that arrived yesterday brought in a lot of new mushrooms that weren’t found here, and thanks to that, I was able to prepare a breakfast that even the short-mouthed master could enjoy.
Knock knock!
“young master! This is Katrea! “Can I come in?”
“….”
“Hmm….”
Gulp.
Katrea placed her hand on the doorknob and gently rubbed her left cheek.
If you woke up a young master early in the morning, you would get a warning or a slap in the face, but Katrea did not give up on waking him up at sunrise.
‘I’m sure it’s said that morning sunlight is a great help in curing mental illness!’
I got precious milk to feed him and cooked him delicious food, but he only grew darker and more vicious. Even if it was a maid’s salary, it was only a pittance, so I couldn’t bring her something expensive every day, so I didn’t want to give up the free morning sunlight every morning, even if it meant getting slapped in the face.
‘You can do it, Katrea, you can do it! ‘It’s only a nine-year-old’s hand-held sword!’
Of course, my heart hurt more than my cheek, but considering that it was for the sake of my precious master, it wasn’t that big of a deal.
Wide open!
“Good morning! “Bitch
! ”
“Nihiiik!”
And I started freaking out as if I had seen a ghost.
“Uh… Katrea? Good… morning…”
“What is this…?”
Master: Oh my god, where on earth did you wake up!
Master, who stayed in bed from noon until sunset and only woke up when Katrea woke him up, always greeted me with a displeased look on his face and said ‘get out of here’, but now he wakes up at 6 a.m. and even greets me with a warm greeting. !
“Hi! Hike! Heep!”
Of course, as an experienced maid, Katrea was able to accept such an unexpected situation, but the sight of the master’s face slowly turning towards her was enough to destroy her barely-held ‘maid-likeness’.
Master’s face was always dark and nervous. What on earth is that fatigue on the face of a nine-year-old master?
I swear on my honor that as a maid who takes care of the master every day, the sight of the young master’s face sinking like an old man who has experienced all the hardships of the world was something close to a bizarre phenomenon that could not be explained by anything other than health.
The face hasn’t changed. It’s still the cute, young face of a young master, but that look of boredom and annoyance, and the way he clears his throat as if he’s used to accepting such things….
“Young master…? It’s better to sleep in a little later today…”
“Ugh! Ugh- no. I slept enough. I simply started the morning with dozens of love letters that arrived from an invisible, divine stalker. Oh, is that my food?”
“Ah! sorry! “I’ll clean it up right away and make you some new breakfast and bring it to you!”
“No, no. Just pick it up and eat it within 3 seconds.”
Rattling rattling!
“Hi! Heep!”
Katrea was now shaking. That proud master always says, ‘I am the third son of the Braque family, Professor!’ The master who lived with these words in his mouth was picking up all the stir-fried mushrooms that had fallen on the ground and eating them! With bare hands!
‘A strange phenomenon… This is the strange phenomenon of fragments that I have only heard about!’
Katrea was sure. There was a cursed person on the train that arrived yesterday, and that person must have passed the curse on you while passing by the Braque Mansion.
“Priest Sa…”
“Ummmm, it’s quite a unique taste. Katrea, I need to do something, so can you help me-”
“Sajeniiiiiiiiim!!!!!”
With tears in her eyes, Katrea kicked down the door of Braque and started running towards the hill where the temple was located.
“hmm. Uumm maid Katrea. Estimated to be in late teens. I’m good at cooking. “Very active.”
Crunchy crunchy
crunchy crunchy!
Of course, in the eyes of the professor, whose head was already full of plans for today, she only seemed like a kind and overly sincere maid.

“Oh, I’m not buying it! “I’m not buying it!”
Tiring-!
[The system’s offer does not require monetary payment from the Player ‘professor’.]
“Ah! If you’re going to learn, learn it properly! “Get out of here!”
Tiring-!
[Because the system is AI included in GG, the physical movement requested by the player is at the discretion of the system-]
“You bastard, you’re doing that on purpose! uh!”
….I feel like throwing up.
The next morning, I held my aching head and forced myself to sleep.
The thing that woke me up before the lively maid’s morning greeting
was Tiring!
That damn beep and
[Sleep is a positive action that organizes complex situations and clarifies the human mind.]
[Do you want to affirm the system’s suggestions? Y/N]
[According to the system’s calculations, the only means by which the system preserves GG and the completer candidate ‘professor’ returns to reality is if the interintelligence bodies cooperate.] [
Player ‘professor’ responds to the proposal . If there is no agreement, the system has no choice but to isolate the error from the server through other means.] [
In the above case, the survival of the completer candidate ‘professor’, which occurs very rarely, cannot be guaranteed, and that is a huge loss.]
[However , Only by isolating the error from the server can there be a possibility of correcting the error, and if the error is corrected, there is a possibility that another completer other than the ‘candidate completer’ will be created. Please note that the system has no room for additional calculations between the options of ‘very slim probability’ and ‘no probability’.]
It was a very complicated threatening message.
Roughly speaking, the suggestion was [Isolate all the contaminated data souls and then spend a thousand or two thousand years with me to find the possibility of correcting the error. Since there is a time multiplier, if we search forever, the answer will come someday-] and [If you don’t want to, use someone other than you and get the fragments. I’m going to collect it all. Of course, including you. I’m going to kill you. It’s a waste to be a completer candidate, but if GG is alive, another completer may emerge someday. Anyway, it was a threat saying, “If you don’t cooperate, I will kill you.”
“You want me to code for eternity with some idiot who may be a crazy bitch or a crazy guy? Are you crazy? “Even King Yeomna will give you a special pardon because the punishment is too severe!”
What kind of crazy person would agree to a proposal like that?
Just looking at what I had just said was full of contradictions.
Cooperation between the system and Professor Park through the system’s ‘perfect’ calculations is the only means to satisfy all of us.
However, the reason why Professor Park is needed is because the system is not perfect and it is not possible to find an answer to some variables.
So doesn’t the conclusion that cooperation between the two is the ‘only’ method contain the possibility of being wrong?
“Did you see this as a bully who gets offended if someone scolds him?”
To compare the current state of the system… it is similar to the Japanese military at the end of World War II.
In a situation where there is no answer no matter what you do, say ‘It’s possible! It seems very similar to the mental state of people who run into a tank with a bamboo spear while shouting ‘It’s absolutely possible!’
A situation in which the happiness circuit is running so fiercely that one cannot even notice the logical contradiction in one’s own words. It’s funny because it’s strangely logical that machine intelligence can run the happiness circuit.
“We may have to move a little more hastily than expected, but there is no need to rush.”
system. He is kind of like a referee in a chess match.
He oversees the game and has the authority to break the head of anyone who breaks the rules.
However, because it is a being created to protect the rules it believes in, it is a being that can only move in accordance with GG’s rules even in such a crazy situation. They say you can’t do things like give the King a shotgun or upgrade the Knight to Pegasus.
“If it is a natural method that follows GG’s rules… it would be about giving the power that can be given to the most powerful person as the authority of the system.”
Probably confirmed. In the not-too-distant future, an absolutely powerful person with the system behind him will appear, and his forces, whether humans or Mute Lords, will try to kill all living creatures by starting a war to unify the world.
I have to stop him and at the same time figure out how to rescue the data souls that have begun to remain in the world.
As a bonus, if you destroy that ‘absolute strongman’, the system will bulk up another one and attack again, so stop that too. Keep blocking it.
“In the end, you’re saying that I have to become the strongest person in the universe.”
Ultimately, this means that nothing has changed in the roles given to players by 4 World. Look, I knew a lot about Mattang’s system and his scheme, Data Soul and blah blah blah, but
the main premise of 4 World play, which is [Collect fragments to expand your power and become stronger to win], hasn’t changed one iota.
Just by looking at this point alone, the limits of the system’s range of operation are clearly revealed.
“Well, then, I need to get stronger quickly before my system friend starts making magic engineering follicles from somewhere… Where should I start?”
If it was a possibility, I wasn’t tempted.
The body’s physical abilities serve as the foundation for handling most powers, whether divine, magical, or auror. At [Bone Lv.6], it can be said that a Master Knight-level body is predestined. Of course, since he doesn’t have the ability to regenerate, he won’t be able to become as strong as Saint Park, who split mountains with his regime and destroyed valleys with his head, but this alone will be enough to arm-wrestle with a troll.
Expectations for magical growth have dropped considerably… but there is no need to completely abandon them.
I am also a water magician who reached level 4. The fact that the use of magic has become difficult means that the number of people who can use magical abilities has drastically decreased, and that there are things that only wizards can do, so wizards have come to be treated as valuable talents.
Aren’t I even a water wizard?
Wide open!
“Cough, cluck, wow, at least the air was good in March World.”
There was a lot of hazy steam outside the window, but I could still get a vague view of the city.
There was a magic engineering institute that was constantly moving, a building that I couldn’t tell if it was a machine or a house, and people still bustling around the tracks that ran through the center of the city, but what I was looking for wasn’t something that big.
“Oh, I guess that’s it.”
A variety of buildings are revealed through the haze of steam, and there is at least one object hanging on top of each unique building.
Slanted roof. A structure that looks like a pipe cut in half attached to the bottom of a slope, and even a design where all the pipes are connected into a sealed container or building.
“As expected, even if the shape of the building is different, there is no house without a rainwater gutter.”
From shabby houses to our stylish aristocratic houses, there were not one but several storm drains and rain gutters built solely on performance, regardless of aesthetics.
This means that it is an area where it is very important to receive all the rainwater, but if you think about it, it has no choice but to be so.
The fortress cities of April World are always built on rocky terrain. It is not just a bedrock, but a terrain so hard and wide that burrowing insects that swim across the ground like water cannot attack it.
Since the city was built based only on ‘solid land’ without looking at other conditions, it is natural that there is a high probability that it will be far from water resources or other resources.
In the first place, since most of the land around the river is soft, there is no way that there are any tributaries of the river nearby, and if you want to dig even a single groundwater, you have to carry out major construction work such as drilling a very deep hole into the granite bottom, and if you do so, there is a risk that enemies will dig in, so digging a well is also common. It won’t be a problem.
one more. What hit you as soon as you opened the window and what was floating hazily throughout the city was all steam.
Although we do not know how 4 World’s magic engineering has developed, it can be sufficiently inferred that it is related to steam engines.
It’s hard to find water, but the city’s driving force is a water-eating monster called a steam-magic engine?
“Water-type wizards are very likely to be treated as ultra-high-class people even among rare wizards.”
Bong-i Kim Seon-dal was not a dream. He wasn’t a very great wizard, and all he had to do was grow to a level where he could turn on water.
He could become a wealthy man just by digging a well in a city with water shortages and charging a fee per liter.
Is that it? Instead of bringing in water, the city could have dried up and died by removing the waterway altogether.
This is so-called resource diplomacy. People, magic, and steam engines all die without water.
Improving magical abilities may not be of great help in direct combat power, but it can exert tremendous power in exercising diplomatic and economic power.
“Not to mention Aurors.”
The people who got off the train yesterday were very excited. Equipped with both swords and guns, they were clearly Auror Knights.
The power of the Aurors, expressed as self-righteous and stubborn power, was passed down to the next generation without any influence whether the world was turned upside down or the continent was split, and it was truly a power like rice soup, exerting a wide influence even in the world of the 4th World.
Wizards who were good at messing around
with Aurunites have almost disappeared, and most Holy Knights who were in a similar position to Aurunites have disappeared, and
no matter how you look at it, it makes no sense for a magic engineering gun to produce output similar to that of a 5th or 6th rank wizard, so if you have an Auror, you can avoid the threat of sniping. It will be quite liberating.
Social location? Humanity has risked its life and death on the train industry, which is humanity’s only link, and right after departure, the knights who protect the train from all kinds of combat-type tunnel bugs as well as the mutes they spit out should have been treated better than the older generation, not less. It seemed unlikely.
Lastly, the fragment… um… I can’t find this right now, so I’ll think about it later when I get the chance to get one.
“Of course, physical training, which is the most basic, goes hand in hand. You have to choose whether to develop magic first, or to improve your own strength by honing your Auror talents…” Doing it
all in parallel is not efficient, and there may be a monster boosted by the system’s protection growing on the other side of the continent right now, so here too. I can’t just relax.
While both are groaning and conflicting because neither choice is a good choice….
Jump!
“Priest, here! Master, our master!!!!”
Katrea, panting as if she was about to collapse, burst through the door.
Looking through the open door, I saw a man who appeared to be a rank and file walking along, looking a little tired.
Katrea and the priest. And the wooden door was creaking because the slender maid had kicked it a little too hard…
“I guess I should check the family situation first.”
Things to do this morning. Confirmed to confirm my family’s position and power within the family.
The biggest advantage of a fool’s start is that ‘you have a lot of personal time, you are free, and you don’t have to worry about others, but you are born with the badge of nobility.’
Before personal growth, it would be good to check and choose what I have right now.
With that in mind, I greeted the priest who entered with a troubled look on his face.
“Brother Ratura Light. good morning?”
“Uh, this is….”
“Look at this! “I told you I’m different than usual!”
“It certainly seems like today is not all about Brother Katrea’s fuss. Umm Ratura….”
….One more thing. Seeing the priest’s face become serious after greeting him warmly, I think I need to find out about the reputation of my nine-year-old body.
