With Reiko's entry into the battle, the situation quickly shifted to the Duke of Breu's side.
Although she was nailed by Jin and would not blow up the enemy golem with a single blow, she used her agility to distract the enemy, slashing at their knees and shoulder joints with .
This slows the enemy golem down, and it is destroyed by the guard golem.
"Oh, Squire Reyko, you're the best!"
Duke Breu must have heard about the legendary exploits of the past, and his eyes light up at Reiko's success. He does not seem to be bothered by the fact that the golems under his command are not doing so well.
Jin wonders what Reiko would look like if she knew that she is only putting out 10% of her power .......
While he was thinking about this, the enemy Golems were being defeated one after another.
In case of fighting against Golem, it is fundamental to completely <, i.e., stop its operation, since a bad <> would be troublesome later on.
The most effective way is to stop the power source, that is, to destroy the mana-driver.
However, this is something that everyone thinks of, and there are various countermeasures.
There are ways to protect the mana driver and its accompanying equipment, to have two or more backups, and even to install it in unexpected places. .......
In the case of this enemy golem, it was heavily protected.
All the important magical devices (magi devices) were housed in thick steel protective cases.
It would take an ordinary golem's power to destroy these protective cases, but they were no stronger than a cardboard box in the face of Reiko's .
"It's too fragile."
Some of them were cut to pieces, others were pierced and stopped working.
The golems that weren't in Reiko's hands were even more miserable.
Reiko's ability to destroy only the source of power is precise, but the security golem is different.
The protective case is distorted by force, and the entire internal magi-device is destroyed, bringing it to a halt.
(...... Well, let's check out what Reiko has defeated.)
Jin thinks that the control core is probably not safe from the damage.
And with zero damage on our side, all the enemy golems were silenced.
"Is it over, thank you. Jin-dono, Rhodotos-dono, we appreciate your help."
About 35 minutes after the start of the operation, the abandoned mines were conquered.
"Then I will send my Uragan ahead again. The main group will follow.
"Yes, I understand."
Uragan returned to the abandoned mine road.
As the Duke of Brou watched him go, one of his men gave him some advice.
If you are going to send your men, my lord, you should check if they can breathe. There is a possibility that a trap has been set.
"Yes, of course."
But..,
Sir, the ullagans are equipped with an atmospheric analysis function. Leave it to me."
Rhodes said, and the Duke nodded in satisfaction.
"Oh, I see. That's what I'm talking about!"
Reiko is back by Jin's side. She is disarmed and in her usual apron dress.
It seemed that there was still some time before the report would come in, so the Duke of Breu spoke to Reiko.
"Reiko, you were in the service of the Magecraft Meister some 400 years ago, weren't you?"
Yes, I did, but what of it?
Reiko answers the Duke's question without hesitation.
"Oh, as I thought! If you are ......, then you also know about the commotion at the birthday party of His Highness Ernest, the third prince at that time, don't you?
The disturbance at the birthday party ...... is the disturbance caused by the Unification Party (Unifiler) at the Golem Garden Party, isn't it?
"Yes, yes! I heard that you were active in ....... Could you tell us a little about those days?
The Duke of Breuland at the time, a distant ancestor of the Duke of Breuland, was also involved in the riot, and the story of that time has been handed down from generation to generation.
"When I was a small child, I was also excited by the successes of Lord Leco when I heard that story," he said.
The duke explained that since the man himself was here, he was eager to hear the story.
"That's right. ......"
Reiko glanced at Jin. Jin understood her intention and gave a small nod.
Reiko began briefly. The duke listened attentively.
"Then I noticed something unusual and left the room .......
Then a messenger came running.
"Report! The enemy base has been overrun!"
"...... well, thank you. ...... Reiko, I'd like to hear the rest of the story sometime."
The Duke of Bulgaria, who had ended his conversation with Reiko with a look of regret, gave orders to his subordinates.
"All evidence and materials are to be seized. The entrance will be sealed.
Then he concludes by saying that he will send a team of investigators,
"Thank you for your cooperation, Sir Tomax, Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Jin."
He then shook hands with Tomax Bartman, Rhodes, and Jin in turn.
"Let us return to the Blue Lands for the time being," said the Duke.
The Duke said he would leave the detailed investigation to the experts.
I have no objection to that. After all, the old man had already confirmed what had been left behind with his peepers.
"Lord Tomax, Lord Rhodoth, Lord Jin. Will you come to my house?"
As is customary, the squires' names are not called, but of course Illumina, Uragan, Reiko, Hope, and the others are invited.
The duke's eyes were on Reiko, however.
Jin had no objection. The same goes for Rhodes.
Tomax Bartmann, however, was a little reluctant because of the events in Avalon, but the Duke assured him that he would be kept informed of the results of the investigation, and he agreed to go with them.
After that, the duke sent a survey team and a security team to the abandoned mine road, and returned to the Blue Lands with Jin and the others.
* * * * *
and the Duke's blow-floater landed in the large garden of the Duke's residence, at an airfield in a corner of the garden.
Two hot air balloons are also moored there.
"Welcome to my house!
Duke Blou first showed Jin and the others into the parlor.
Jin must have visited there once 400 years ago, but he did not recognize it at all, perhaps because it had been redecorated, or perhaps his memory had become hazy.
But Reiko said,
"It's changed a lot, hasn't it?
Reiko said, "You have changed a lot.
"Oh, Reiko, what part of you has changed?"
Duke Breu asked Reiko hurriedly.
Yes, there are more decorations on the pillars. And did you replace the flooring? The colors are brighter than they were 400 years ago. And ......"
The duke is extremely satisfied with the 12 differences that have been clearly pointed out to him.
"Let's restore it to its original state as much as possible," he even says.
He even says, "I'll try to restore it to its original state as much as possible. Jin wondered secretly if it was nostalgia.
A little later, the Duke of Broux calmed down,
"As a matter of fact, His Royal Highness Prince Ernest will be here tonight.
He said.
"His Highness is looking forward to seeing you again, Mr. Jin. That's why I've invited him to the hotel.
"Is that so?"
When we informed the central government of this disturbance, Ernesto was to come to the Kingdom of Egelea to officially certify Jin as a .
"......I'm kind of embarrassed to be here," Jin said.
Jin said,
Jin said, "I heard that you don't like ostentatious things. That's why he asked you to come here.
Duke Bruu said.
"I'm even more afraid of you, ......" he said.
Jin was looking forward to seeing Ernest XVII again.
On the other hand, Tomax Bartmann left the meeting after dinner because he was tired and went straight to his bedroom. He fell asleep as if he had fallen asleep.
