The room on the opposite side was an entrance to a hangar.” (Luise)
With Luise’s guidance we open the door to the other room. There, a huge room, a lot more spacious than the plaza the dragon golem had been placed in, spread out.
That room, rather than even being a room, has a structure as if being a complete shipyard. More than 10 docks, used for shipbuilding, are extending in a row. Each of them had several magic cranes, dedicated to lift heavy-weighting things, installed.
“It is a magnificent view.” (Ina)
More than half of the docks were vacant, but even so you could count seven to be filled with magic airships.
Their size is almost similar to the magic airship we boarded to use the regular flight.
It appears that this facility was dedicated to construction and repair docks for magic airships.
“Going by their outward appearance, they are completed.” (Wendelin)
“The question is whether the large magic gem inside is safe or not.” (Burkhart)
Being a legacy of the past, it is depending on the large magic gem being safe in the engine room whether it is possible for the magic airships to re-enter servitude or not.
Since a number of years have passed, there are many situations where they have already broken down due to magic gem of poor quality.
With the current technology it is only possible to have the magic airships fly, but producing the necessary magic gems for that is difficult.
The technique of creating a large magic gem by using several small magic gems as ingredients, as it existed in the past, has been lost.
You can’t get hold off them due to their rareness. You can’t construct them without the huge magic core acquired from monsters like dragons and upwards.
It was also the reason why I was forced to sell the magic cores, I obtained after defeating two dragons, to the kingdom two years ago.
“We will leave the further investigation to the kingdom.” (Burkhart)
“I guess it is not good if we don’t go and see the state of the underground ruin as well.” (Wendelin)
“Those golems and such, they won’t be restarted, right?” (Ina)
“Who knows?” (Burkhart)
In any case, because there isn’t anything like knowledge related to those dedicated docks and the magic airships, we have decided to turn back to investigate the 『Deadly Reverse Regulation』 underground ruin now.
There is a huge, rectangle, stone-walled room on each floor of all the 10 underground floors. Those rooms are pierced by dozens of passages for the sake of supplying golems for defence duty.
On the floors the golems, who had been re-deployed after we broke through, ceased their function and stayed at their current place without change.
Since there isn’t any reaction even if we get close, going by Burkhart-san’s deduction, a large part of the defense system had been embedded in the head of the dragon golem.
“Constructing it with steel containing mithril, a magic gem had been arranged functioning as power source for the artificial personality crystal in the head, huh?” (Burkhart)
All of the golem units are standing still. I check their internal structure.
“However, still making this many of them.” (Wendelin)
“The problem is the ability of the artificial personality.” (Burkhart)
The appearance of the artificial personality’s crystal is close to transparent.
It looks like there is a unique spell engraved within using a particular magic language.
Of course, if you don’t understand the magic language, it will be impossible to tamper with this.
Even if you do understand it, if you can’t use the recorded spell, it won’t be possible for the crystal to show results. Before that, there is no point in it, if you can’t make the artificial personality crystal.
Therefore, there were very few people who could make it currently.
The magic language, being the most difficult part, is similar to what is called computer language in my previous life. But as I am weak in that particular field, it will be completely impossible for me to understand it.
It’s not the characters. I saw books having closely packed things written inside as if coming up with tens of thousand types of patterns, but only trying to deduce the basic rule caused my head to boil previously.
Even master laughed and said 『You don’t understand it at all, right? I am completely no good with this too』.
In addition, even if I was able to understand them.
If it’s the technological strength of the current magic tools craftsmen, they won’t be able to make the golems, located here, move.
The reason is that they can’t be used unless for charging in a war. There was that as well.
“However, what did Earl Ischrubak want to protect with all his power… ?” (Wendelin)
“The entirety of these underground ruins, right?” (Ina)
Even only the costs for the used mithril and orichalcum in the dragon golem’s body are eye-popping. The total amount of soldier golems and knight golems easily exceeds 10’000.
