EP.241 God descending on gears
I saw water flowing down the broken road. It is an irrigation canal that provides necessary water to various parts of the Inner Circle.
The width is not very wide, but regardless of whether or not, the automatic carriage cannot jump. A regressor shouted in a cataclysmic situation.
“The road split! what? I didn’t see anything strange…!”
“leader! Instructions!”
“Only in times like this is a leader…! Wait a minute!”
The regressor twisted Jizan around and thumped the car’s floor. The car body shook greatly, and Jizan penetrated the bottom of the carriage and hit the ground. There was a crackling sound and the sound of rubbing against the ground was heard.
One more unintentional brake caused the automatic carriage to come to its senses. I shouted, gripping the steering wheel that was shaking like crazy.
“Kyaaaagh! The car is smashed!”
“Urgent! Do not talk to me!”
The regressor pushed Jizan into the ground and stirred it slightly. A small, round circle blooms from the tip of the sword. As the heaviest sword in the world gently swayed, the earth swayed with it.
I stomped on the pedal and shouted louder.
“Catch everyone! Fall!!”
“No crash! It’s a rise!”
The regressor shouted loudly and released the ground he had been dragging all at once.
Jigon-type land swell.
I glanced behind me and saw that the road we had passed had been twisted into a strange shape. As an analogy, it should be said that it is crumpled when pulled with a long pole. In any case, the crumpled ground with the apex of the regressor’s jizan was scooped up at once with her gestures.
At that moment, the front seat of the automatic carriage. The passenger seat and the driver’s seat, which seemed to always be together, suffered a permanent separation. It was because the regressor’s Jizan tore it right down the middle.
But I couldn’t complain about him. Because the regressor swung like that, a makeshift bridge rose over the broken bridge.
“Step on…! uh? Are you stepping on it?”
You should have told me to step on it! If I hadn’t read thoughts, I wouldn’t have been struggling to stop right now! Feel the fear wherever you are!
“Oops! Was this the accelerator pedal?”
“What have you been doing besides driving all this time?!”
“Accelerate! Even if that’s the case! Ajiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Mmmmm!”
Kururureureung. The automatic carriage that had reached its limit screamed. In this way, the automatic carriage prepared for the leap by testing the limits of the automatic carriage towards the improvised slope.
Fortunately, the regressor split the front, so the wheels slightly floated.
The unfortunate thing is that the car slowed down because the regressor separated.
Tuung. The automatic carriage suffered an unprecedented opulence. There was a sensation as if gravity had disappeared for a moment. I had the illusion that the world was moving terribly slowly.
Automated wagons built after the premise that there was a systematic and robust road network collapsed terribly when the premise collapsed like other logics.
It was obviously terrifying before jumping, but it was terribly slow at the peak. It was sure to plummet into the ditch before reaching the other side.
Before the regressor took the damage and used another power, I also called for another power source.
“Oh!! push! It’s dog sledding!!”
“Woong-wong-wong!”
Aji, who followed my call, kicked off the ground and jumped up. Then, with a bang, he kicked the car’s luggage compartment vigorously.
The automatic carriage achieved dramatic acceleration with the power of a running dog. With a crackling sound, the truck moved about 1m in a horizontal direction. Her neck and back rattled like a poorly made doll.
But… apparently this wagon jumped over a ditch! I only turned my head back to look back at Aji, who had accomplished this feat.
“bruise?”
Aji, who exerted all his strength to push the wagon, was left in the air with nowhere to set foot as he floundered in the air. Our eyes met Aji, who started the descent. It’s very pitiful to see limbs struggling out of reach.
“Goodbye stepping stone…”
“Mooooooooooong!”
Aji just fell into the drain. However, it will come out sooner or later.
We are more of a problem now.
“We land!”
I shouted and hid myself in the shadow under the driver’s seat.
It’s stupid to dodge into a tight spot right before a collision. Unless there is a vampire nearby who can handle the darkness.
As I pushed myself into a shady place where the sunlight couldn’t reach, a soft darkness enveloped my body.
This is not an expression. This darkness was literally ‘soft’.
Kwajik.
My body shuddered with the feeling of landing. But only a little dizziness. There was no shock whatsoever to follow.
The darkness that enveloped me softly whispered in my ear.
[That’s a cruel way. Phew, did you have to be so far apart?]
“It’s expected to be a long fight, but it’s better than using darkness in broad daylight. Is the luggage compartment all right?”
[Don’t worry. Darkness is my space. They weren’t hurt at all.]
Butterflies and Shiati in the luggage compartment were in good shape. I nodded and got up again.
[But what’s going on? Did the road suddenly cut off?]
“Rather than cut off, it cut off.”
[Who?]
I didn’t have to answer. Because the regressor gave that answer instead.
“Overdose!!”
About 2.4 km away from here. In a space where even mind-reading feels faint, someone wearing a monocle is watching us. It doesn’t look good in my eyes. However, it was clearly visible in the seven colors of the regressor.
Creator of all weapons Designer of all weapons. A monster of understanding. creator.
Alchemist closest to Philosopher’s Stone. The king of cogs.
Disease Maximilien.
Looking like an innocent child, he twisted his lips into a smile and spoke silently to the regressor watching him.
‘Pass level 1.’
The regressor was enraged by that trying smile. she shouted as she stepped onto the carriage.
“That bastard…! A trap!”
“A trap? Are you saying you cut off your leg beforehand?”
“different! That guy…! He saw us on the street and hung up!”
How could the bridge be cut from such a long distance? The answer came right back.
“With the cogs installed on this land!”
Chararak. Chararak.
Is it because perception affects the senses? When the regressor said that, the sound of metal meshing seemed to ring in my ears. no it was ringing
It’s just that it’s so full of noise everywhere… it’s like tens of millions of ants crunching, so I can’t hear it clearly.
Before we knew it, we had arrived on a land of cogs.
Gunguk was a weak country founded through civil war. The military hero, the best general, Gunung, who led a coup to save this newborn baby, attracted talented people from all over the world.
Jeolsang and Majangiya have been factors since the days of the kingdom, and Musketeers are born in a pure military nation. Anyway, those three six great castles were native to the land of the military state.
In contrast, the three generals in the back were outsiders from other countries.
Doctor Maximilien.
Lingguo Sieghrund.
Tian Tong Aimeder.
Yuk Jangseong, who is shrouded in a veil, is not even known who he is, why he has come, and what kind of power he has.
However, while living in the military for 25 years, there is no way that rumors have not spread. Judging from their actions in the military, we can get a rough idea of their abilities.
Private Maximilien He is the director of the Arms Development Bureau of the Military State.
A master of ritual magic and a qigong master who realized the truth. And an alchemist who reached the stage.
Because the weapons and equipment he made are on the market, military people would see his name at least once in the tools they used. I am amazed at its complexity.
the one who makes everything. His ability is…
“Cogs! He can turn it as long as the cogs don’t break! must!!”
“What is unconditional!”
“Literally! No matter how big there is on the other side of that cog wheel, it will always mesh and turn! As long as the teeth don’t break!”
There is a small gear the size of the palm of your hand. If a few of them are meshed together, if the gradually increasing teeth are inserted one after another, just by turning a small gear, you can bring out a big change like the movement of a giant’s arm… The story says that friction does not exist and the teeth are light and
strong It is only valid under the childish assumption that it is.
However, there are beings who make such childish assumptions, albeit only half of them.
Plague Maximilien can turn a cog until it is about to break. Therefore, the stronger the gear with the higher the alchemy level, the stronger the power.
And Gwabyeong is the best alchemist in the military. It might be the best in the world if it was limited to the field of cogs.
A simple, one-dimensional force. An ambiguous ability that makes one wonder if it really makes sense to be able to turn round, uneven steel wheels.
But when his talent as an alchemist is backed by his great architect’s understanding.
‘I don’t know if it’s an ability related to battle…! I don’t know what form this episode will be in because everything is solved with gears!’
You can make anything with a cog wheel.
Geek. There was a cacophony of power pulling from the metal of the elaborately designed cogs.
The regressor sensed it. At the same time, I noticed something ominous and moved the control stick.
“be careful!”
But it’s already too late. The moment I try to understand, the change that started in his cogs has passed through dozens of cogs and steel rods, and the result is that something rises from under the road. I hurriedly broke the control stick, but the movement was not normal because the regressor had broken earlier.
No, what if I respond? The automatic wagon can’t respond.
Quadduk.
The entire front wheel was crushed by an impromptu barricade rising from below. If you compare it to a human, it’s a great uppercut. The carriage, which had been hit in the right direction, rattled loudly.
Fortunately, the regressor cut it in half beforehand, so the power was reduced. Even if you pull the mop, it will tear, but the body will not be snatched.
Whoa, thank goodness…
“It’s too early to be relieved Huey.”
I turned to the side where the voice came from. Unlike me, who was on the verge of dying at any moment, Historia and the princess in the selfie calmly ran beside us.
Historia and the princess on the white horse didn’t have as much trouble as we did. The drainage channel was too narrow to be called a river. Upon reaching the edge, Selfie hopped lightly across the ditch and followed us with quick steps.
Horses can jump, unlike chariots!
“To sell a horse is to sell a prize! The automatic wagon that I drive hard is literally a thorny road, but the horse is relaxed!”
Historia, her arms tied, looked as if she would slip at any moment, but she rode her horse with an exquisite sense of balance. To a warrior who has reached the state, this level is nothing.
Historia seemed to be more concerned about me even though she was on top of a randomly rocking horse.
“…I made it clear. The dark side of Huey’s army will be darker and more powerful than this.”
“I’m feeling it now!”
“Pneumonia… Director Maximilien’s hobby and specialty is putting things together with gears. In his realm, even Mr. Patraxion can’t predict the outcome. It’s not easy to say that it’s outside the realm.”
“no! Stop talking about what you know! Tell me a solution!”
‘are you okay. You’ll still be fine. I didn’t get the position of the head coach in vain. At this level… there is still room for negotiation.’
What’s the point of negotiating alone? Be aware of your situation On the topic of being followed with both arms tied tightly. If you want to negotiate, do it with us first, not with the military!
“If mediation is needed.”
“If you don’t tell me right away, when we leave this country, I’ll spread rumors that the mysterious perverted high school girl fighting while tied up is actually you.”
At my stern warning, Historia’s mouth fell silent. That alone was not enough to stimulate Historia, but my ally was nearby.
“yes? rice metamorphosis? Hey! Cancel that statement! The musketeer is not a pervert! You fought for us!”
“It’s perverted enough to fight using only your legs with your arms tied.”
“It’s a miracle! How cool! Upright posture, long flexible legs! Amazing sense of balance! If you knew a little about taijutsu, you would be impressed!”
“I don’t know much about martial arts, but my face is admirable. How can you be so proud of yourself like that? Can the rope be a mask?”
“Both of you, stop.”
The princess was excited and spoke passionately, but the original harmless words penetrated the deepest. The liquid that penetrates the deepest into the body is transparent and clear water. Historia could not stand it any longer and declared surrender.
“…simple. The easy way is to get out of the cogwheel’s influence, and the hard way is to break the cogwheel itself.”
“Oh!… It’s not, isn’t it obvious? Bounce or smash? Any advice on that?”
“No matter how hard Director Maximilian is, level 5 alchemy steel cannot be easily synthesized. You need to have prepared ingredients for level 4, and the alchemy steel you create at your fingertips is mainly level 3.”
“It’s level 3 alchemical strength steel! It’s enough to crush people!!”
While I was wasting my time on advice that didn’t help much, the apocalypse came. The wheels of the wagon, which had been bobbing, let out a final scream.
One of the seven greatest inventions of the military, a spinning wheel that turns on its own. In a military country lacking water, it was commercialized even while desperately going against the wishes of Seonghwangcheong.
It collects the power of lightning and then turns on its own. It sits in the middle of the wagon and moves the front and rear wheels at the same time. One wheel is responsible for the power of the wagon.
Anyway, until now, the wheel, which had managed to turn even if it was smashed, was eventually silenced by the shock coming up from the angle at an angle.
An automatic carriage that moves forward only by inertia. However, I could relatively confirm that the automatic carriage was gradually slowing down as the selfie slowly passed me.
Historia added as if he had just remembered it.
“Ah, the automatic carriage was also made by the director. If he had done something, the wagon might have broken down.”
“Out of all the advice I gave today, do you do the most useful things at the most useless timing?! You’re a spy too!”
It’s a spy, but it’s a sex growth in the first place.
