Chapter 59. Result report

“The weapon that Grace brought was amazing! It pierced through the body of that mineral ant.”

“This gun killed that mine ant? Originally, it wouldn’t have had this much destructive power, but Grace-dono is amazing. It’s amazing how he further strengthened the relics of Souzi …….”

King Alvis raised his voice as if impressed by Ruby’s report. He’s itching to touch the magic bayonet with some interest. He’s not going to start saying he wants to dismantle it like Bowman, is he?

And I’m curious about something else.

“Did Alvis-sama know about guns?”

“Ah …… It wasn’t me, I was given one as a souvenir when the old king and his men visited Souzi. The diary says that Asgard was amazing at that time, full of unknown items. We dwarves were at a standstill at that time, unable to create anything new, but Asgard inspired us to work even harder to catch up. Asgard must have been a treasure trove for the dwarves. They would have taken the elevator when they came…… because there were so many things they couldn’t imagine. That was something they developed based on the knowledge they gained then.”

“Father…….”

“That was also made from Souzi’s knowledge? Amazing,…….”

Alvis speaks somewhat nostalgically. Maybe he’s remembering the old peaceful times. I mean, these people recreated the relics of Souzi without the ‘World Library’…… if we had the technological prowess of the dwarves, wouldn’t Asgard be even more amazing?

I let out an exclamation, which he denies with a self-deprecating smile.

“It’s not great, after all, most of them, especially the guns, couldn’t be reproduced and we’re almost being destroyed by mineral ants. That’s why, Grace-dono, I’m so glad you’re here. We Dwarves know how great you are. We Dwarves know of your talent to create something new from the relics of Souzi!　In the past, we were inspired by Souzi’s advent and succeeded in developing our stalled technology. And now the inheritor of Souzi’s Asgard and knowledge has come to our aid. I see this as fate. I ask you once again …… to save Dwell.”

” Alvis-sama!”

I let out a voice of surprise when Alvin bowed deeper than he did before. Because he’s the king of a country and he bowed not once, but twice…..

“I’m not such a big person.”

“I don’t think so. Your speech earlier was great and you actually brought a weapon to defeat the mineral ants and you also brought potatoes. You are a savior. We Dwarves will do whatever we can do, so help us!”

“Yes, you’re right. Grace is amazing! That gun weapon made a huge noise and the mineral ants fell down…it was like magic!”

Their expectant eyes made my heart flutter. Can you believe it, Vigna, Bowman. I’ve been ridiculed for having skills that are useless and now even royalty from other countries are saying I’m amazing. It’s because you guys came with me to Asgard.

And I have to show you that the Grace Vermilion you believed in is amazing.

“Leave it to me. I need the mineral ant data, a workshop, and a couple of dwarves with superior knowledge. I’m going to mass produce this magic bayonet.”

“But …… even the dwarves can’t make these……”

“Then don’t worry. I have the original here and I can take it apart. I used to make guns with Bowman. I think I can help you.”

“Oh, that’s a big help. But the guys at that workshop are a bit difficult. I’ll send Gimli out to talk to them beforehand, but if they’re rude, let me know and I’ll scold them..”

I nodded at Alvis’s words. Well, most artisans are strange people. I chuckle, remembering Bowman and Noah.

And so we head off to the workshop, taking in the sights of the city.

“This is amazing….”

I let out an exhale of admiration at the beautiful city built with bricks and mithril made in the mines. The air is cold because we are on top of a mountain, but it‘s clear and delicious. The reflection of the sunlight and mithril makes for a fantastic sight.

“I’m impressed by the skill of the dwarves to process mithril, which isn’t an alloy, and use it as a housing material.”

“Oh, yes. Galatea, you seem to be in a good mood. Is it because you heard Souzi’s name?”

“Ufufu… that’s part of it. But I’m happy that even the king of another country regards master as my father’s successor.”

She smiled happily. I recall that she once told me that she was glad to have me as the heir to Souzi. When I first took the name, it was half a bluff to reassure the people of the territory, but now I’m recognized by the rest of the country……

I can feel my own heart burning at the thought.

“Then, as the successor to Souzi, lord of Asgard, I’ll definitely have to help this place out.”

“Yes, I’m counting on you. Master! Oh, I can hear them talking.”

When I went to the workshop that Alvis-sama told me about, I heard voices coming from the door. There seems to be some kind of excitement going on.

“So Grace is at ……”

“Oh, you’re talking about me!”

“Oh, just as well! I was talking about you. Come here.”

“Ah, just in time. You’re Grace, let’s have a little chat.”

I burst in, and my eyes met those of Gimli, who was chatting with the other dwarves. What on earth was he talking about?
