Chapter 10: Pump
“This is …….”
“Ah, Grace-sama, thank you for your time. This is Gole-chan, the golem I created. Isn’t she adorable? It’s a golem with a different metallic luster and it’s as beautiful as a jewel …….”
She then stroked the golem with a somewhat ecstatic expression on her face. Jewel? I see it as just a metal golem… or is this golem made with ultra mithril alloy?
“Ufufu, it was worth it to come here. In the past, stone golems and wood golems were the norm because iron and other materials did not allow magic to interfere easily and mithril was too heavy, but by using the super mithril alloy that Bowman created, which is lighter than conventional mithril, we were able to create a powerful golem that allows magic to be transmitted easily. Look at this. This power! This beauty! In my opinion, it’s 1.5 times more powerful than a conventional golem, more than twice as strong and above all, its beauty is overwhelmingly 100 times better!”
“Oh, I see. ……”
I nodded, slightly taken back by Noah, who started talking faster than ever before. I’m glad she’s having fun, at any rate.
The golem began to carry huge bricks and the likes with agility. It certainly seems more powerful than a normal golem, as she says. If we have this…then fighting… stop thinking. Noah is very attached to her golem. I don’t know if she’d be comfortable using it in a fight, but my eyes met Noah’s with a smile on her face.
“How about it? I’m the only one who can give orders, though. ……”
Ad
“Oh, thank you. It helps.”
“It’s also useful for protecting the people.”
“Noah…. Are you sure? I mean, it could be used in a war. It could break. It’s useful in this kind of hard work and you don’t have to force it to fight.”
I was surprised and when I asked her, Noah smiled knowingly. While gently stroking the golem, she looks at me.
“I know that much too. But the lives of your people are more important. If Gole-chan loses her life in order to protect someone else, I think it’ll be deserving. Besides, I’ve become a citizen of Asgard. I will do what I can.”
“Thank you. To be honest, I’m grateful for the help….. I don’t want to lose any more of my people.”
Noah glistened at my words, then she smiled and waved while giving orders to the golem. Although I had a look of suspicion on my face, I walked to Noel who was unusually excited.
“You are still the same …… Grace. You’re a kind and caring person, aren’t you? I don’t want to be an ally of George or Kyle, I want to be your ally.”
“Huh?”
“Master! Please look at this quickly. It’s a pump created by me and Bowman-san…”
There was a strange thing there that looked like a huge balance with a metal weight and some small cylindrical metal pieces attached to it. What are these cylinders?
Ad
“Cylinders. They are used for cylindrical parts that hold fluids such as gases and liquids inside.”
The World Library replied. I see. …… So it’s a device to trap gas or liquid?
“I see, this cylinder traps vapor.”
“You’re right master! A magic stone with fire magic underneath this cylinder heats up the water inside the cylinder to generate steam. The weight then causes the lid of the cylinder to tilt and rise. Then the cylinder fills with steam and ……. Bowman-san, please!”
“Hoiyo!”
With those words, Bowman turns on the faucet and water seems to go into the cylinder. After a while, something pushed on the lid of the cylinder and water was pumped out.
“Whoa! water spurted out!”
“By injecting water into the cylinder, the steam inside condenses, creating a vacuum inside the cylinder, which is then pushed down by the atmospheric pressure and water is pumped out! In other words, I want to use steam power, not artificial power to run a well pump. It’s a lot of work to install, but I think this will make it a little easier to pump groundwater out of the mine!”
Yikes. …… I have no idea what you’re describing. …… Well, I’ll have a detailed manual made up later….. That’s what I was thinking. I stroked Noel’s head. She looked happy and closed her eyes.
“Noel, you’ve done a great job. Thanks to you, our territory is going to grow even more.”
Ad
“Really? Am I helping?”
“Of course you are, you’ve been a great help with the chores and now you’ve invented something that I can’t thank you enough for.”
“I’m glad to hear that. …… I can’t fight like Vigna or Galatea…… Oh, I’m sorry, I said I’ll sleep if I finished it.”
“All right, get some rest. I’ll take you home if you want.”
“No, there are other people who want you to see their invention, so go ahead and take a look. Then……. Excuse me!”
Then she yawned cutely, her face turned red and she ran off. I didn’t mind the yawning. …… As I watch her back, Bowman calls out to me.
“She’s trying her best in her own way. She’s probably worried about the fact that she didn’t get anything done in the last attack.”
“What are you talking about? Noel is doing a great job. Galatea is just too great.”
“That’s true. But she only knows Galatea. I guess she wanted to achieve something. Well, everyone loves you, don’t they, Grace?”
“Oh, I’ll give Noel a big compliment next time. Thank you, Bowman. You took care of Noel in the workshop.”
He chuckled at my words. It’s not often that Bowman takes an assistant in the first place. He took Noel by force, probably because he noticed that she was interested.
I didn’t notice it at all……. I’m not ready yet ……
“It was nothing, I just thought she might be smart enough to receive some pointers. Now Agni wants to see you. Go ahead. It must be hard being popular with men.”
“It’s no fun being popular with men though. ……”
“Hmm, I’ll tell Vigna that you want to be popular with women.”
“You’re a real pain in the ass, you know that?”
With that, Bowman pushed me toward Agni. And now I was going towards Agni.
