My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 114

howard
“Mmm, hmm. iced coffee—!”
A low, mid-bass sound that sounds like it's ringing in a cave..
Wide shoulders, tight muscles, wide eyes, and a glossy beard..
“Ah, I can’t really get used to the low level of this.!”
In addition, there was a truly perfect dwarf here, with small kidneys that barely reached his chest..
Needless to say, this was my newly created avatar..
‘「Even though I increased my height as much as possible through customization, I can't believe it's this much. I had a rough guess, but seeing it for myself gave me a different feeling..’
In fact, there is a limit to the maximum height, perhaps due to limitations as a species, and the increased height was also there..
I lightly stroked my chin and looked at the dwarf in front of me..
-Entity Name: Howard
-Race: Dwarf
-Common characteristics: 「Mind Herb」, 「Persona」, 「Super Recovery」, 「Mysterious Index」」
-Individual Characteristics: 「Craftsmanship」」
-Special note: Han Seong-hyun's eighth avatar. The craftsman's beloved pickaxe was used as a medium to create a dwarf. Due to the influence of “Craftsmanship,” additional corrections are made to actions related to production..
Immortal King Hans, vampire Heinz II, saint Heinrich, dragon Harley, merchant Hubert, elf Harris followed by dwarf Howard.!
Excluding the original Heinz, who passed away, he was actually the seventh avatar..
“Okay, exactly as I thought. The first skill given was also the type I wanted..”
As expected, objects created through “customization” seemed to have racial characteristics related to them..
‘Because Howard had no intention of using it for combat. He can custom-make the item you need right away, and it is difficult to find a skilled craftsman..’
Even if it was not limited to military weapons, the act of making something had very different results depending on the level of the craftsman..
The avatar, Howard, is receiving not only “craftsmanship” but also buffs that increase growth speed and learning ability, so his level will develop quickly..
Merchant Hubert was able to provide the necessary items right away, so it was the best environment..
But there was one problem left.···.
‘Just like with Elf Harris, the problem is that there is no knowledge whatsoever..’
In fact, it could be seen as worse than then..
In the first place, technology is something that is passed down from generation to generation and is developed and supplemented..
No matter how dexterous and talented you were, there was a limit to what you could do on your own..
‘As expected, I have no choice but to use Harley’s connections this time.?’
Since Harley and Zaonic are in a life-and-death relationship, wouldn't they at least grant that request??
Besides, he may not know it, but he and Howard are not strangers at all.!
Strictly speaking, it could be said that they are rich..
‘No, if you think about it that way, I should say grandson instead..’
Because my daughter (Eline), who was separated for some reason, was the last son (Howard) left behind in a faraway place..
Somehow, a tragic narrative was completed in no time..
‘Actually, I can't tell Zaonic, so it's just a meaningless story..’
Still, since it was not easy to find different races on the Aeon Continent, they tended to help each other whenever they faced difficulties..
If you pretend to be a young wandering dwarf who hasn't even learned the proper skills, he won't let you go easily..
‘Of course, it seems difficult right now..’
As the situation is still very chaotic, I thought it would be a good idea to visit once the chaos in the north has settled down to some extent..
In the meantime···.
“Uh-huh- Then, let’s learn Earth’s technology first.?”
Howard stroked his beard and grinned..
Rather than heading to the ground without knowing anything, it will be helpful in many ways to acquire scientifically proven theories..
‘The case is different from elemental magic. Blacksmithing can be learned even on Earth..’
Of course, as the laws of the two worlds are different, there will be differences in details if you go deeper, but the basics will not be much different..
Although most of Earth's technology uses machines, just understanding the principles behind it will be of great help..
‘I might gain something later in the process of researching the differences between each world. It is not difficult to obtain relevant information on Earth, so we should prepare here first..’
I decided to start with materials engineering, especially metallurgy, which is about metal processing..
Of course, it wasn't me who researched the necessary data..
How long has Howard been researching data, classifying techniques that can be used in practice, and organizing them into stages??
“Yes, Jin So-ran. It's been a while. How are you? I have one urgent matter to take care of..”
After finishing strengthening security in the garden, Heinz took out a cannon phone and called Jin So-ran, the manager of Heterosis..
‘In times like this, when will you use your subordinates??’
The clan wasn't just comprised of vampires with an aptitude for battle..
There were many people who worked in office or professional positions, and as the organization grew in size, there were many ordinary people employed in Yangji..
“Yes, it doesn't matter how much money it costs, do it as quickly as possible. Recruit everyone, whether it’s a university professor or a professional engineer.···.”
Whether it's a paper, video material, or someone's know-how,···.
All I have to do is give orders and receive the results that my subordinates have organized while making their feet sweaty..
‘I need to set up a workshop in Tarak. If you want to save time, the only way to do it is to practice at Outerica..’
All I had to do on Earth was look at the data..
It is up to Howard, a dwarf with “craftsmanship,” to understand and master it..
‘Since you get all kinds of corrections, you can probably reach a certain level with self-study. If you go beyond that level, you will have no choice but to invite craftsmen from Earth and learn directly from them. ···If possible, artisans from other worlds also.’
Artisans from other dimensions were not doing much on Earth, but the experience they had accumulated did not go anywhere..
Technologies developed in completely different systems will have their own things to learn from them..
And the ‘Hyeolmaeng’, which grew into the largest force in the darkness of Seoul, the center of Korea,.
The ability to obtain information from those who fit the conditions and to pay for their cooperation was sufficient..
***
Roselia Grand Shrine.
“Ugh... I'm so tired I think I'm going to die···.”
Saint Riesta, who had come to talk to Heinrich about work, fell down on the table without any pain and made a groaning sound..
Contrary to what he said, his appearance boasting smooth skin and flowing hair did not show signs of fatigue, but that was only the influence of his powerful divine power and blessings..
She was spending all but the minimum amount of time, such as sleeping and eating, doing work..
It was enough to make me look at the saint again because of her responsible and thorough appearance, which contrasted with her usual sloppy behavior..
“crying-! I miss Tion, Myu, and Sally! Other children too! It's already been a week since I haven't seen you, is everyone okay??”
···Of course, such sentiments did not last long because of these words and actions that appear whenever the opportunity arises..
For reference, Tion and Mew were earthworms, and Selly was a ladybug..
It was still a mystery how to distinguish each individual and how to find and observe those small things in a large flower bed..
‘They are so attached to them that they even give them names, and even if they die due to the providence of nature, they don't feel too sad..’
She pours blessings and divine power on the bugs to help them live in the best condition.···.
Even if you are eaten by a natural enemy right before your eyes, you will only look on with sad eyes and not intervene directly..
Like a god looking down on this world.
“How about taking some time to visit the flower beds? It won't take up much time..”
“Uh...no. Once you see it, you won't be able to get away from it for hours. I promised myself that I wouldn't go to the flower bed until some work was done! And this, there's not much left now···.”
The saint's job was to coordinate advance preparations for the continental summit..
It couldn't have been that simple for people with full authority from each faction to come together..
‘It was said that Duke Bright would come directly from the Kingdom of Thalia. Did you say that the crown prince would move in the empire? It's bound to be difficult in many ways..’
Such external affairs were handled by a woman who had been a saint for a long time and was well-known..
Although Heinrich was recognized as a saint, it was not long after he joined the church, so if he came to the forefront right away, the value of his name was bound to be slightly lowered..
So, as a former Holy Knight, he was in charge of the military department, including the Holy Knights and the Holy Knights, and was busy learning and handling work..
Of course, as military force was very important in opposing the Immortal King, the intensity of the work was no less than that of a saint..
While we were having a conversation about the work we would do together,.
“Oh, Heinrich, you heard the news too.?”
The saintess's expression, who had been talking as usual, suddenly changed to serious and her voice became calm..
There was only one topic when she showed this attitude, so I knew right away what she was trying to say..
“···You're talking about the northwest mountain range toward the Tulk Kingdom..”
“yes. A powerful clash of magical powers was detected in the mountain range where monsters were heading south. Of course, the immortal king's dark magic is also included..”
It was information he had heard beforehand..
Hans also took care by setting up his own barrier, but the intense battle with the light dragon could not be helped with such a hastily constructed barrier..
Moreover, the saintly woman's sense was exceptional..
“···You can guess what's going on. Probably, it started in earnest..”
With her golden eyes shining, she spoke quietly to Heinrich..
“dragon hunting.”
Previous immortal kings judged dragons to be the biggest obstacle to conquering the continent and put all their effort into slaying them..
Thanks to this, dragons were now driven to the brink of extinction, and the remaining ones were hiding quietly and not appearing in the world..
“By moving the monsters, there is a movement to instigate chaos in the world and at the same time exclude the dragons. Time is really running out, but even in this time, there are so many people who are showing a complacent attitude.···!”
A saintess frowning and grinding her teeth.
I think the stress I felt while working was quite great..
‘Well, it's true that I hunted a dragon, but.’
And while Heinrich comforted her with a serious expression, he suppressed his inner bewilderment..
‘No, it would be natural to think that way. Because I have a criminal record..’
Who's to blame? That's all I've shown so far..
Like a child telling off her parents, her complaints continued for a while..
The complaints that started with those who did not cooperate properly soon spread to the Immortal King, the cause of the whole situation, and he poured out his resentment and anger in noble words..
And, to borrow the words of a saint,.
What is Hans, the immortal king who is the absolute evil of this continent, the parasite that eats away at the world, the source of all negativity, and the symbol of immorality, doing now?···.
as soon as.
I was happily opening the gift that Saint Heinrich had sent me..
***
[Indeed, it is very useful. I never thought it would fit so comfortably in my hands.]
Hans looked at the pure white crystal in one hand with a dark smile..
It was wrapped in solidified divine power and was the source of Acrich Dwell McCain sent by Heinrich through “Avatar Cloud”..
‘Actually, this guy is not as widely known as Karam or Olivia, but he is also a very useful guy..’
Due to his lack of military power, he was ranked 50th in the Immortal Legion, but apart from that, he was one of the most capable staff members..
2Now that the Elder Arch-Lich, who was the great immortal king's intellect, was destroyed in the final battle, he can be seen as the smartest guy..
‘If you look at the actions you've taken, it's not very trustworthy, but.’
Still, the only thing I saw properly was the appearance of the Holy Sword during the ordeal, wasn't it?.
Even if it were a holy sword, it would not have been able to perfectly reproduce his tendencies or way of thinking, even if it were simply the power he possessed..
‘Well, the more capable the person I'm working for is, the better..’
Hans poured his dark magic towards the crystal in one hand..
Hehehe—!
In an instant, a crack appeared and the split divine power radiated brilliantly for the last time, and then slowly disappeared as it was consumed by black energy.···.
Ugh—!
Immediately after, the quiet source of Acrich began to slowly vibrate..
[Haha! Now, wake up. There is a lot of work to be done in the future.]
And to Hans, who possesses enormous black magic..
The energy required for Dwell to be revived was nothing..
