chapter 134
134 – Golem (11)
As I walked, I thought.
This ability, depending on the target, is not surprising even if it brings about great disaster.
I don’t know why until now, but it was something I didn’t know, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized that.
What if one of the people you meet is a shapeshifter who is not a member of the three clans, and the other is an ordinary human.
If those two were a couple, I could have ended up stealing someone else’s wife without even intending to do so.
And usually, such a thing would lead to a catastrophe, so no matter how much I pushed away, the shapeshifter who had been blinded by the forbidden love would have started hitting on me even in front of the person who would become my husband.< Br﹥
Then, no matter how oblivious my husband was, he would have noticed and started going crazy, and the ending would have been blood-red.
Just thinking about it made me dizzy. It would be better to have a tough fight, and I had no intention of being in the middle of a love fight.
What if it’s a love fight centered around me?
It was scary just to think about it.
And even if that wasn’t the case, danger was always present.
I could tell that just by looking at the current situation.
“Elise, you seem uncomfortable. Would you mind falling a little further?”
“Shut up, Elimu. Because it might rip that mouth off.”
“There is no culture. How many times haven’t you said that’s Elise’s bad habit? Even if I get hated, I don’t know.”
Elimule, Elise.
The shapeshifters who called each other like this were walking on either side of me, and I felt very uncomfortable.
First of all, there were two main reasons.
I’ve already been passionate in a state of frustration since I’ve seen it several times when it comes to women’s fights because ‘the woman is being screwed and she’s the only friend who she doesn’t know. ‘
Another thing is that Elimule is male and I don’t have that type of taste.
I let out a sheepish smile like “Haha” At Elimul’s gaze looking at me with deep affection.
Fuck, it’s uncomfortable.
Even though I was feeling the crisis of chastity, which was not chastity, I could not get rid of them. In addition to their usefulness, I was also a dick who could not be cruel to people who liked me.
You could say it’s an emotional mess.
I don’t know if he’s a super popular guy who has a lot of friends and wants to party with me wherever he goes, but even my shitty social skills aren’t that good.
So, even though I was uncomfortable, I couldn’t say, ‘I’m not interested in men, so why don’t you go away?’
All I had to do was to quietly build an iron wall.
I never thought there would be no distinction between men and women in ability.
While sighing, I glanced behind me, and behind me, Lorian was following me with a complicated expression.
My guess is that he wanted to get involved in this love triangle, but he was hesitant because it was the result of his ‘father’s kindness.’
It was worth it. I took my eyes off Lorian, who rarely seemed to have regained his reason and intelligence, and looked ahead.
There was a dark road ahead of us.
[Play time: 9,952 hours]
It’s been 4 hours since I entered the golem’s mine.
Before we knew it, we were deep inside the body of a giant entity presumed to be the golem’s owner.
*
Regardless of concerns about disaster caused by my actions, the two shapeshifters were steadily carrying out their duties.
“Investigation?”
“Yes, I was in charge of the investigation here.”
“What kind of investigation is this?”
“That…”
Elise notices and looks at Elimule. I expected that the factor would be less active there and that they would be on guard, but that was not the case.
“The Empress dispatched us because she was interested in the uniqueness of this space itself and the resources discovered.”
It’s just that the shapeshifter named Elise wasn’t very intelligent, so she couldn’t remember.
There was such a hint in Ellie Mule’s voice her her her, so Elise frowned slightly and shifted her hand to poke her twin’s side her her her her.
My blood was pouring out, but no one thought it was a joke. It was a wound that would have killed an ordinary human being, but for the two shapeshifters, it seemed to have been nothing more than an annoying prank.
The two ended up bickering and grumbling at each other and settled down on either side of the road.
Should I say that the culture is different? I ended up looking at the two shapeshifters with disapproving eyes.
“There is a trap.”
“A trap? For a moment…”
Except for my awkwardness, the awkwardness caused by cultural differences, and the strangeness of being clingy due to factors.
These two were pretty good companions.
“Elise.”
“I know.”
Quad deud deuk!
First of all, since they are a shapeshifter, they do not die and regenerate even from serious injuries.
That’s why I solved it with my body without having to disarm the traps one by one or spend time.
Elise was closer to the tank role among the twins.
There was a reason why he showed the aggressive side he showed when he was beaten.
Elise turned into a mysterious beast that was a mixture of a bear, Drake, and Brock.
A huge body with thick bear-like fur, and Drake’s unique hard and tough scales covering its body.
And even the steel-like feathers that are densely stuck on those scales. At first glance, it looks like a monster with no fur and a mixture of bird feathers and scales.
In her post-transformation form, Elise stepped on all of her traps and dismantled them.
Boom, Kwaguagaga River.
Elise roars as she uses her body to catch countless crossbow bolts and magic that rush in with a distant sound.
She thus disarmed all the traps with her body and returned.
“Did you do well?”
Elise smiled brightly, pulled out the crossbow stuck in her forearm, threw it away, and spoke.
The way he even asks for compliments from me is extremely relaxed.
Even if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to do something like this often, but every time Elise encountered a trap, she solved it with her own body in this way.
“Good job. Now…”
“Please keep going. “I will lead the way.”
“Yes, yes.”
Elimule laughed and walked first. Looking at Elimule’s her back to her, Elise stuck out her tongue and clung to me.
And while looking at Elimule and Elise with complicated eyes, Lorian sneakily approaches next to me.
Even though I was confused and in trouble, I desperately tried to think my way through it.
“Why on earth are there so many traps here? If it is a facility managed by golems, there are no traps to prevent damage to the golems…”
“Golems don’t come inside here. “It’s blasphemy.”
It’s blasphemy. That’s a word I haven’t heard in a long time.
While thinking about it, I glanced at Lorian’s expression
His expression still looked uncomfortable, confused, and painful, but he was still holding on.
Well, he was a cool and calm guy from the first time we met, so this is probably closer to his true self.
I grabbed Lorian’s shoulder, thinking that all the foolish behavior he showed afterward was caused by the Son of Man.
Lorian trembled and looked away from me.
I felt sorry for her and massaged her left shoulder and gently pushed her away.
“But I managed to get permission to go inside.”
“Allow… In fact, I did not allow it.”
As Ellie Mule was walking briskly, she noticed something that looked like a structure.
Sometimes she took out a chisel or something and collected the specimens, and sometimes she quietly called Elise to the front, as if she had found something.
We were going down deeper and deeper.
“Golems are not recommended, life can be dangerous, the space is not functionally designed for exploration… I tried to dissuade him, saying, I felt like I wasn’t allowed to go any further than that.”
“There was no obstruction by force or anything like that?”
“Because it’s a golem. There was no offense in their behavior.”
The golem I knew was a being that was willing to use force. As you can see just by looking at Balterok, if they had to use violence for their mission, they would not hesitate to harm people.
But despite my argument, Elimule said this.
“Usually it is. But they… “The mission is to create a ‘pleasant and peaceful village,’ so violence is unusually prohibited.”
Where else can you find out about something like that?
Is the Empress telling you? If you think about it, it was plausible.
If the Empress is a person from ‘the era when my father existed’, it would not be strange if she had contact with God, and if I was sent on a mission for personal reasons, it would be my duty to at least provide information .
Then there was only one question that remained.
“What on earth are the resources or specialties found here? There must be something plausible enough to send you away.”
If a being like an empress would dispatch a personal investigation team, there must be something there, and that’s what I’m feeling as I’m digging into this tunnel.
Is there something really special about this space? It was something to do.
No special minerals were seen. If you occasionally see something shining in the dark, most of it is iron ore, and even that has not been managed for a long time, so there seems to be no way to dig it out.
Even though it was special, I couldn’t even feel it as I had some connection with God, so I wondered if there was really something special.
“We don’t know for sure.”
Elimule answered carefully, perhaps feeling guilty about the fact that he could barely answer my questions.
“But the Empress said we would know for sure once we entered the deepest part. The Empress is not one to play fruitless pranks, so there must be something to it. And.”
Ellie Mule puffed out her chest proudly and she smiled at me. It was a bit creepy.
“This is the last exploration point. This is because we have just explored the other crossroads and other deep locations. “I’m sure I’ll find something today.”
“Really?”
“And I feel fortunate to have been able to lead you to such a discovery.”
Elimule walks in front of me, smiling contentedly. Although I didn’t completely dislike such favors, I became uncomfortable with the feelings beyond the favors.
But there was no time to reveal such things, because it was just as Elimule said.
“… Coffin?”
The deepest part of a huge mountain where you don’t know if it’s the remains of a god or a monster.
Inside the cave, which was protected by countless traps, there was an oddly fitting bronze-colored coffin.
It was a coffin made in a style that even I, who had been drawing pictures for a long time, had never seen before.
Is that a resource? Or specificity?
If I do it well, wouldn’t I be able to use it when negotiating with the Empress?
While I was thinking, Elimu and Elise approached the coffin.
“I think it’s probably this… “What should I do?”
“There may be a way to move the whole thing or just the contents. “If you think about camouflage or something like that, it would be better to just move the contents.”
“Okay, then let’s open it?”
Elise deformed only her two arms to hold her coffin. Even though I felt something strange, I didn’t stop him.
I can’t say I didn’t think something could happen.
Even though I know that usually when I think like that, something happens.
Druddudduddudduk!
“Okay, it’s open. Inside… Huh?”
Immediately after Elise’s doubtful voice rang out.
Kwasik!
Elise’s body collapsed. The body that fell on the coffin rolled to the side and fell on the floor, and neither I nor Lorian could react to the sudden situation.
I noticed that the top of Elise’s neck she had disappeared cleanly.
A shapeshifter that trembles and then stops moving. The lid of the coffin covered with the remains of the remains was slowly opening.
“… Ellie, my? What…”
While Elimule was unable to understand the situation and froze, something rose inside the completely open coffin.
Something bronze-colored with a right hand drenched in blood.
It has eyes made of crystal and a face carved in gold on its head.
“Golem… ?”
It only seemed like an example of the golems that were scattered around outside.
However, only an inexplicable sense of intimidation seemed to indicate that the golem was something out of the ordinary.
Silence flows. The drifting dust filled the dim cave, and inside, a golem whose left half of its body was soaked in blood slowly turned its head and looked at me.
My face was reflected in those inorganic eyes. I stand blankly with my mouth open.
The golem looked at me and said.
“Did you shamelessly come back here?”
A voice so eloquent that it’s hard to believe it’s a golem. The golem chewed up and spat out faster than I could frown.
“Traitor.”
Only then did I realize.
That expressionless face clearly contains hatred.
