NOVEL SIMPLE Episode 602. The most ignorant departure in the world
⑷… … Wow, do you even do that?
It was pretty absurd.
“Their range of perception is wider than I thought… …
It detects and responds to the depths of the earth.
What about the sky? I tested it by flying it without burning people using a flying car.
It pulls out things like arrows from its body and shoots them to keep them in check.
Knowing in advance that passage using the sky is impossible is a harvest.
The pain in the ass doesn't change either.
Then it was Diaga's turn to test the method.
“That armor only reacts and moves when approached.”
“I guess so.”
“Then I want to test first which objects will or won’t react.”
The detection range and method of simple recognition.
He said he wanted to know the limits.
“so? What are you going to try?”
“I prepared it simply.”
As Dia nodded, two land mages each appeared holding them in their arms.
“cat'?”
“I'd like to test it with these two cats.”
Dia's proposed experiment is this.
Prepare two cats.
just send one
Dia's special scroll was attached to the body of the other.
“that?”
“It is a teleport scroll that was activated conditionally. I set it up to activate as soon as this cat gets out.”
And then we started experimenting right away.
First, I sent a cat with nothing.
This cat is a trained cat.
Without leaking the other way, I sprinted accurately between the armor.
The armor moves its head to see if it recognizes the cat, but that's all.
Make sure the animals just pass through.
“The only thing they recognize is that they recognize them as humans or weapons of a certain size or larger.”
“ah? Something like that.”
It's like a simple program.
If the recognition range is not clearly specified, they will react and move with only the earthworms under their feet.
“Then this is the second time?”
“yes.”
Then he sent a cat with a scroll.
This time, the cat fits between the legs of the armor... … .
couldn't get in
The armor directly bent down and caught the cat.
Then, he brings the struggling cat to the back of the territory and releases it.
Surprisingly, the response is peaceful.
The cat is puzzled and rushes again, but this time too, the response is the same.
“Even if it's a negligible object, it's probably recognizing a magical device or something you see.”
“… … Is that so?”
Dia quietly understood and grabbed the staff tightly with the force of sparks flying in her eyes.
It was as if something had ignited his pride.
“it's okay. The first was a way to know for sure the behavioral conditions.”
“… … So how about the second method?”
“We will push forward with the application of the first condition.”
With that said, Dia immediately wanted to try the second method.
Wizards have prepared an object the size of a small wooden boat.
“hmm… … Are you testing with this? What next?”
“This will do.”
Dia put her staff on the wooden boat and cast magic right away.
The colorful light shimmered and the shape of the wooden boat disappeared like fog.
“… … Is it a cat too?”
it's that cat
Just an ordinary cat.
“Trying to trick you with illusions?”
“Those seem surprisingly dependent on visual information. In other words, I think it is possible to judge whether an object is dangerous in a similar way to humans.”
In fact, it is a fairly sophisticated method.
If it weren't for the enemy, I would have praised him for quite a long time.
Dia explained the method while trying to be self-respecting for such theoretical interest.
“Then, I guess you can fool people with enough tricks.”
“hmm… … So is this fantasy?”
“It's quite a carefully crafted magic.”
“indeed. Right.”
It's plausible that I can't properly recognize the essence by simply looking at it with my eyes.
Not to mention, if it's just a can, you won't be able to see through it easily.
If this method works, Dia will be able to camouflage the appearance of the iron wire through the illusion created and escape.
“… … But I don't know if it's that simple.”
Well, there's no point in me staring at her eagerly.
You have to see for yourself whether it works or not.
“I’ll try it right away.”
At Dia's command, the cat meowed and ran away.
The ship is set in motion by magic and tricked by hallucinations.
If you look at it like that, it's just a cat approaching as the first experiment.
however.
As expected, these cans properly recognized the existence of the wooden boat and launched an attack without hesitation.
In an instant, it rushed in and smashed the wooden boat.
“… … Are you recognizing my hallucinations properly?”
Dia frowned in surprise.
Their sense of perception is surprisingly flexible and precise.
In the end, Dia's method didn't work either.
Dia glared at her indignantly and eventually let her shoulders droop.
“I will review it again.”
“Yes, yes. Sometimes things don't go well.”
I patted Dia on the shoulder and comforted her.
There's no such thing as a good way to do anything.
After that, I tried all the methods suggested by various subordinates, but none of them worked.
Eventually, it was time to try the method Pena suggested.
“ruler! Please go!”
The method that Pena suggested was to ignore the obstacles of those things and to call an existence capable of going and move the iron wire.
And this is the only thing she could ask for.
Following the instructions, the huge fire giant nodded and stepped out.
This is the fire spirit king that Pena summoned with the fiery ribbon I gave her before.
Rather, I still remembered it. I thought I'd forgotten about it when I saw it tucked away in my bedroom drawer the other day.
Before that, did she think of using the current Spirit King as a courier?
[Can I just go, Summoner?]
“Yes. Just keep going!”
The spirit king tilted his head once as if he did not understand the true meaning of the order, but since it was an order, he proceeded faithfully.
… … But I didn't expect this time either.
The ending is obvious.
[hmm? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!]
The spirit king swallowed a scream and collapsed.
The armor that rushed at his feet like a swarm of ants attracted the spirit king to beat, trample, tear, taste, and enjoy.
Anyway, they attack without mercy.
As it was, the bridge collapsed and fell, and then it was such a gruesome sight that I wanted to send my condolences to the spirit king.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Pena was perplexed and covered her mouth with sweat.
Seeing the scene where the Spirit King, whom he had confidently summoned, was beaten and disappeared by the guys the size of his feet, he seemed speechless.
Eventually, the Spirit King's energy disappeared.
“Is the Spirit King dead?!”
“No, I'm not dead.”
What is he talking about?
“It’s okay, don’t die. They were forcibly sent back.”
it's ok i wouldn't die
It was only that the summoning was canceled after receiving more than the allowable damage and running out of power to materialize.
“Can you beat the spirit king like that before then?”
“… … Perhaps, by applying special magic to the outer shell of that armor, you can catch at least a pure spirit-like being.”
It would be basic to give a means to prepare for a spirit-like being that is somewhat resistant to physical damage.
“Ugh… … I thought there would be no problem if I became the Spirit King.”
Pena bit her lip in resentment, as if she genuinely thought it was a good idea.
You can't help it... … If it's going to be solved with that one burning giant in the first place, it's over a long time ago.
What can I do? The King of Spirits is a weakling.
“Ugh, if the Spirit King had been a bit stronger, he would have thrown the boat out of the way… …
“No, you shouldn’t throw it. I know it’s resentful if I throw it, but it’s not good to use extreme measures.
“Don't be too impatient, let's review the method again. not a failure
Little by little, I think I figured out a way.”
After admonishing everyone like that, I decided to rest today.
Even if you roll your head too much, you won't come up with a solution.
Even if you are in a hurry, it is best to take a break and take a break properly.
In the end, the days end with no results.
I struggled quietly alone in my office.
‘By the way, can't you quickly come up with a method like fisting??????
It's not that I'm particularly disappointed.
Still, everyone was trying to overcome the situation somehow while rolling their heads.
I know very well that it is not a problem that can be solved by working hard.
‘But it's hard to find a way to pass the time... …
After all, I may be a bit suspicious, but I have to come up with a solution… … .
Or, be prepared to be somewhat in debt and borrow outside power.
‘Ugh, I don't want to lower my head for nothing.'
It's good to make others bow, but I'm not reluctant to ask my partner for anything.
‘For now, if we can't figure out a way by noon tomorrow, let's try something.'
We can't just wait for the right direction because we don't have time.
‘the problem is… … You can't fool their eyes and let the wire go... …
It's hard to cheat.
Exactly, there is no time to create such elaborate methods.
Even if you try to break through by force, it won't be easy to handle because it sticks quite a bit.
‘I'd rather be prepared for some damage to the pahilia and try to explode something... J But that's a last resort.
First of all, I looked at this and that method, and I threw it crumpled, thinking that this might not be the case.
Crumpled paper goes right into the trash can.
Yes, it would be nice if the ship could be thrown to the desired place as easily as this.
How could something be that simple... … .
“… … hmm? throw?”
My thoughts took a one-beat comma there.
Then, without thinking, he crumpled up another useless piece of paper and threw it.
Again, the wad of paper goes straight into the trash, drawing a parabola.
no what... … Paper is just fine. Paper is just fine... … .
“… … throw?”
That's the only thought running through my head.
Come to think of it, did Pena do the same?
He said he wanted to throw it away - he might be simply ignorant.
If it really... … If I do that, I don't know if I can send a ship with certainty.
“Are you really going to throw it away?”
I'm telling you just in case, but that doesn't mean I'm going to hit you.
As soon as the next day dawned and it was time for the meeting, I proposed that very method to everyone.
Of course, everyone listened and was stunned.
“… … Are we going to blow the ship out of the territory?”
“… … Are you serious?”
“… … Isn't that too reckless anyway?”
“… … Crazy, crazy.”
Of course, I expected to be embarrassed.
Not everyone's reaction was too much.
“… … therefore? Are you going to send the ship out to sea?”
Pena also dares to ask me again if she thought she had heard something wrong.
If I were in the same position, I would have been pretty dumbfounded, so I understand this reaction.
“huh. If you can't send it properly, you can just throw it away, right?”
Simple ignorant, but sure and powerful plan.
I explained the means I came up with step by step.
Nothing special.
Using a method powerful enough to blow away the iron wire, it was ejected into the sky over Pahilia.
The plan is to send it to the sea as it is and land it on the sea.
Roughly named ‘Go! Isn't the sky empty?' plan.
“… … is that possible? for a moment? If you blow it up like that before then, will the ship be fine? uh? Huh? If you throw a boat like that, it will fly all the way to the sea?”
Pena talked to herself as if doubting her common sense.
They all have similar faces.
“Can you be fine?”
The one who snorted at all of them was the representative Archen, the blacksmith who had been listening silently.
“A ship is not something that flies.”
