Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 108
◈ 108. [Side Story] Equipment Production Quest
Ader read an official letter from the capital..
“Currently, the main force of the Imperial Army has captured the capital of the Principality of Bringer, which was at war on the Western Front, and is now said to be occupying the remaining areas one by one..”
“…….”
“As previously stated, the military cannot be lent until the war situation in the West is completely stabilized.…….”
“No matter how difficult it is, survive on your own.?”
“Well, I guess that’s what you’re saying..”
“Mr. Erai…….”
I swallowed a loud noise and touched the stiff back of my neck..
No, they even ate the capital of the principality? Then the war is coming to an end..
Can you lend me some troops? uh? It's such a waste to lend the poor, pitiful youngest prince a snot-sized army.?
“If the southern front is pushed back here, the human world itself will be destroyed? Do you really not know? I guess it's like this because I don't know.!”
With a curse, I tore up the official document and threw it away..
At the bottom of the official document, the seal of my older brother, Minister of Public Administration and Second Prince Fernandez ‘Emberkeeper’ Everblack, was clearly engraved..
I tore that part to shreds especially carefully. Fight to hell, fuck you!
“after.”
Trying to cool my feverish head, I spoke calmly to Ader..
“Ader. Send one more wave.”
“I don't think it'll be of any use…….”
“Send it anyway. The contents are like this. This is the final notice. If we don't send reinforcements this time,…….”
Ader, who was writing down the contents, rolled his eyes and looked at me..
“If you don't send it?”
“Next time, the youngest prince will show you the best trouble he can do. Tell it like that.”
“Okay. By the way, is it okay to send a threat to the imperial family like this?……?”
“The situation on the front line is worse, but this is cute..”
After writing all the content, Ader adjusted her glasses and pointed out the last sentence..
“And I'm curious, what is this 'best mess' you're talking about here??”
“There is such a thing.”
I laughed bitterly..
“If you use it, reinforcements will definitely come from the capital. A last resort method that I really don't want to use..”
You should only use it right before the game is over. There is one method I would like to use..
However, since it is a means of self-destruction, I will not use it in most cases..
“Yes, if it's fair enough.…….”
“Hehehe.”
I laughed evilly and Ader looked scared..
Well, this director is a bastard. If I die, you will die too.!

Crossroads downtown. smithy.
I entered this place where the heat was radiating out..
The blacksmith guild leader, who had been waiting as if he had already heard of my visit, bowed at the entrance..
“Are you here, Your Majesty?!”
“hmm.”
I glanced at the system window hovering above the forge entrance..
[Blacksmith - Lv.5]
level5.
I continued to add support money quickly and it went up by about 2 levels..
The facilities of the blacksmith shop were expanded, and the number of workers also increased..
At this level, you could almost call it an equipment factory..
“We brought in additional equipment last week. It is thanks to His Majesty’s generous investment.!”
The union leader said. of course. And I'll get back as much as I invested..
“Today I am going to order weapons for my SS and direct parties to use. Please make it with special care.”
“Whether there is! What weapon do you need?”
“silver weapon.”
I succinctly recited the list of things I needed..
“Ten silver long swords, ten daggers, ten spears, and fifty arrows. Time is 3 weeks. Is it possible?”
I intentionally ordered a generous amount. Silver equipment is effective against vampires, but its durability is terrible..
The union leader, who was briefly weighing the quantity of orders and the production capacity of the blacksmith shop, nodded willingly..
“of course! However, at this level, the silver inventory currently in the warehouse is unlikely to be sufficient..”
“I have bought some silver. Let me send it this way.”
“As expected, you are thorough. As soon as you send it to me, I will start working on it starting today..”
“good. Then, start by shipping them to the manor house in order..”
“All right… … . Is there anything else you would like to order??”
I gestured toward the chunks of metal piled up near the blacksmith warehouse..
“Could you please collect some of the metals I am talking about from now on? We need some refined metal. Of course you will pay the price.”
“Of course I should give it to you. But where are you going to use it??”
“what…….”
After thinking for a moment, I summarized it briefly and said:.
“Is it a bribe??”
“…….”
The head of the blacksmith union, who was in a daze, asked back in bewilderment:.
“……yes? bribe? It's metal.?”
***
Lake Kingdom Underground Dungeon.
4Safety base in front of the area. base camp.
flashing-!
After passing through the teleportation gate, I lightly landed on the ground..
Lucas and Evangeline, who arrived first, were looking around, alert for possible enemies..
I brought just these two today..
“the enemy is invisible.”
“But just in case, don't let down your guard..”
It was then.
“No, no! If you're worried about those masked bastards, you won't be here anymore..”
A familiar old man's voice was heard. When I looked there, blacksmith Kelly Bey came striding towards me..
Kelly Bay's face was overflowing with joy that couldn't be hidden..
“You rotten bastards! I came here often and it came really quickly. Did you put some honey on this dull spot??!”
It looks like they're happy that we're coming, even if they don't talk about it. It's a bit funny because he really seems like a grandfather waiting in his hometown..
by the way.
“What those bastards can’t do is… … Are you saying that Nightcrawler's forces are no longer allowed in here??”
Kelly Bay nodded to my question..
“Yes, yes! How are you feeling??”
“How is that possible? They are numerous and powerful..”
“Click…….”
Kelly Bay, with a sinister smile, pointed to the other side of the base camp..
“The owner of this camp, old lady Coco, is back.!”
When I saw that, it was true..
An old witch was seen setting up tombstones with magical characters all around the base camp..
Even though his back is very bent, he looks like he is 2 meters tall..
“Ugh?”
The witch found us and came running with pounding footsteps..
“Wooheehee! What is this again! Shin?! Is it new??!”
Lucas and Evangeline were scared and tried to draw their weapons, but I stopped them. Don't do that because it's a friendly NPC..
“Nice to meet you, pits! This lady is called Coco. It's your adventurer's support role, so don't be scared.!”
Coco slapped Lucas and Evangeline on the back with her huge hand..
“Wow!”
“Yeah!”
“By the way, why is everyone so skinny? There's nothing but bones, right? Tsutsu… … Come here! Let's have a snack and talk.”
The witch arbitrarily dragged Lucas and Evangeline to one side of the base camp..
I don't know when it was installed, but the witch's workshop has been restored..
“Come on, eat this. I prepared something delicious to feed babies like you when they come..”
The witch took out a suspicious green jelly from a glass jar and fed it to the two knights..
“Juguuun?!”
“I'm a senior?!”
Lucas and Evangeline looked at me with blue faces, but they ignored me. Eat well and grow taller, kids..
‘cutting coco.’
I carefully looked at the giant laughing witch (and the two knights who were suffering while eating jelly)..
It's not a scary name like cutting anything in two..
This witch grandmother is a spatial wizard who can cut through space..
Simply put, an NPC dedicated to teleportation. All the teleportation gates in this underground dungeon were installed by this old lady..
“Aha, the Crown and the gangsters? I 'cut off' those damn bastards so they never come here again.!”
It sounds scary, but it just means putting up a barrier or something to prevent it from coming..
It seems that the monument installed earlier was a barrier stone..
Anyway, I'm glad. With this, the base camp became a safe zone from the Nightcrawler unit..
Another enemy may appear, but Coco, the strongest friendly NPC, has returned, so it'll be okay..
‘In the outside world, you can roughly guess how strong this old lady is just by looking at her ability to use teleportation magic, which has been proven in practice, as if she were breathing..’
At that time, Kelly Bay came up next to me and tilted her head towards me..
“What about these metals? What? Why should I use it??”
Behind me is a pile of metal brought through the teleport gate..
These are the things I bought at the blacksmith shop today..
“Castle is a material used to make weapons. You told me to save you.?”
“I got it in one day……?”
“It's something you don't have to take your time doing..”
I glanced at the subquest window..
[Limited equipment production quest]
- For the castle, get the materials needed to make weapons. (3 bags))
> castle sculpture (3/3)
> smelted steel ingot (15/15)
> ……
> SR-SSR grade magic core (0/3)
> dark crystal (0/3)
There were a lot of them, but most of them were obtained by headbutting cash at the blacksmith shop in Crossroads..
The blacksmith shop was expanded for this purpose..
“There is some metal left.?”
Kelly Bay twisted his eyebrows when he saw that there were too many types and amounts of metal for making three weapons. I shrugged..
“It's not a big deal, it's a small token of sincerity..”
I brought all kinds of things, starting with gold, silver and copper..
I thought it would be a good gift for this blacksmith who loves metal..
“Heng. A gift made of falling metal from the outside world. This is absurd..”
Even as he said that, Kelly Bay gathered all the metal and took it to his blacksmith shop..
“But take it. Since the blacksmith shop is newly opened, everything is lacking in one way or another..”
I laughed and giggled. You are a disingenuous old man..
“Okay, let’s see… … Then, the remaining materials needed to make castle weapons are... … There are two of you.”
Kelly Bay, counting the remaining ingredients, looked at me suspiciously..
“Three top-quality or special magic cores. and… … Three dark crystals. Can I really save you??”
“Sure. I'm going to go get the magic core today. by express.”
If I'm going to make anything, I'll have to make it to a good grade. That way, your precious monster aristocrat’s stomach will feel better, right?.
“Will the Special Magic Core save you if you try to save it? I'm confident?”
“of course. Get ready to forge weapons..”
After speaking confidently, I left Kelly Bay's anxious gaze behind me and headed toward the witch's workshop..
Actually, I was planning to use a mix of SSR magic core and SR magic core, but thanks to Coco coming to the base camp, I found a way to get the SSR magic core..
“Coco.”
“huh? What's wrong, baby? You could eat some jelly too.?”
Coco, who was feeding light purple jelly to Lucas and Evangeline, looked back at me..
Lucas and Evangeline, their faces darkened, shook their heads violently at me. I still have no intention of eating it.
jingle.
I took a golden key out of my inventory and held it out in front of me..
It was the [Golden Room Key] obtained by killing the golden gargoyle during the last free exploration of Area 3..
“‘I have a key, and I was wondering if you could open the door..”
“Hooooo!”
Coco received the key and her glass-like eyes flashed..
“This and this, I picked up some interesting stuff.!”
I grinned..
If you pick up a key item that rarely drops in a dungeon and bring it to Coco, she will open a teleport gate to the room..
All rooms opened with this key are one-time event dungeons..
Among them, the golden room... … It's a bonus dungeon with very few high-level items..
