Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

By the time Ella, whose outlook on life had been reshaped after delivering the letter, returned to Milin, it was already the next day. Milin, who had been waiting all night, still didn't get the midnight snack after all.

"Admiral, are you really waiting for me?"

In the town where the caravan stopped, Aila found Milin who was working in the blacksmith shop.

"Waiting in dreams is also waiting." Milin said with satisfaction as he rummaged through the materials in the blacksmith shop.

As expected of the city closest to the imperial capital, the materials that can be found in the small blacksmith shop are much richer.

Black steel ingots, which are regarded as treasures by blacksmiths in small places like Escalon City, are sold by the basket in this blacksmith shop.

Ella, who was stifled by Milin's words, calmed down for a while. After making a decision in her heart to add some spices to her lunch, she then reported to Milin what she saw during her return trip.

When he heard that the reason why Hui Feng built the Hanging Garden was to prepare it for the concubines in the harem, Mi Lin said without raising his head:

"This must have been instigated by Alori."

"Grey Wind said it was her decision." Ella was a little confused as to why Milin concluded that Alori was the culprit.

"Alori must have said this reason first, and then Gray Wind would adopt it." Milin raised his head and smiled, then looked at Ella with serious eyes and continued:

"Of the things you want to tell me, this shouldn't be the focus."

"Yes, Admiral, do you know what Gray Wind and Alori did?" Ella, who was accustomed to Milin's magical perception ability, said.

"What have you done?" Milin found a bench and sat down, looking like he was listening carefully.

Ella, who also sat down, told Milin as much detail as possible about what she saw and knew in the "geothermal well".

At the same time, I also mixed in a little bit of my own opinions and worries.

At least Ella is pretty good at snitching.

"Hey, have all the geothermal wells been dug? Didn't Gray Wind say that Escalon's geothermal resources are not good before?" Milin said strangely.

"Being able to dig into the mantle layer one hundred kilometers below, I think it has nothing to do with whether there are resources or not." Ella expressed her psychological fluctuations at the time.

"I guess Hui Feng dug so deep initially to test the maximum monitoring distance of my town construction system." Milin immediately judged Hui Feng's original intention of digging so deep.

"That's good. There will be no shortage of electricity in the future, and you can also soak in the natural hot springs."

"Admiral, aren't you surprised at Gray Wind's construction ability?" Ella was a little surprised that Milin was interested in the hot springs, although she was also very moved.

How could the Romans be without thermal baths?

"I shouldn't need to explain the setting of Gray Goo Storm to you, right?" Milin asked strangely.

"Didn't you say that the maximum mass and computing power were restricted?" Although Ella didn't understand where the restrictions came from, what she cared about most was that she was not restricted.

"Does this have anything to do with digging a pit 100,000 meters deep?" Milin then asked.

"Yes, it doesn't matter." Ella said after thinking about it.

"However, after owning the territory, Gray Wind's strength has indeed increased a lot. It seems that he was really at a loss by always looking at the sea before."

Milin still wants to thank Lord Deus here. If it weren't for that lord's reckless behavior, Milin would probably still be saving money to buy land.

If he had known that Gray Wind could increase his abilities as his territory increased, he should have conquered a territory first regardless of the losses.

It can only be said that Milin did not have the heart to become a novice war criminal because system soldiers were too expensive.

I just don’t know how to level up Alori. Isn’t it going to be a battle?

The problem is that it has been almost a year since I came to this world, and I have fought a lot of battles, but I haven't seen any improvement in Alori.

After talking about the geothermal well, Ella then talked about the killer weapons placed in the deepest part of the geothermal well.

Ella, who had done some homework before coming, explained the use of each large-scale killing weapon, including the mosquito that was specially designed to kill the plague.

"Shocked, did they really do this?" Milin was shocked.

"I'm shocked. Did you really give permission, Admiral?" Ella was also shocked.

"Ahem, I just said it at that time to prepare for emergencies."

Although he knew that Gray Wind and Alori would cause trouble, he didn't expect it to be so big. Milin frowned and said.

"Grey Wind said it's safe, but if something unexpected happens, it will be over."

Unlike Gray Wind and Alori, who almost regard Milin as their master.

The relationship between Ella and Milin, who have always regarded themselves as wage earners, is more like that of subordinates and superiors, similar to the kind of semi-shareholder wage earners who have a good relationship with their bosses.

That's why Ella talked to Milin about her worries and opinions, instead of giving priority to implementing Milin's ideas before considering other things.

Ella, who was worried for a moment, sighed:

"The gray goo storm is still a gray goo storm."

"Believe me, Alori must have done something similar." Milin corrected Ella's view.

"Huh?" It seemed that Ella was surprised by Milin's statement. She didn't see anything related to magic in those things.

"It's just that the storage method is different, you didn't see it."

Based on Milin's understanding of Alori, she would definitely not succumb to Gray Wind in this regard.

It's probably the Dragonborn's duty-bound mentality to revive the glory of psychic energy.

"Ah... what are you going to do, Admiral?" Ella asked worriedly.

"What should I do? Let's eat it cold. These are defensive weapons anyway." Milin said nonchalantly.

"This is the first time I know that weapons that can clean the biosphere are considered defensive weapons, so what are offensive weapons?"

Ella looked hard to accept.

"For example, the continental shelf tearer or something, oh no, that thing should be called a mining tool." Seeing Ella's look, Milin made a small joke and said:

"Just like the Source Stone I asked you to send back, it can also be cultivated and used as energy."

At the same time, one hundred kilometers underground in Iscalon City, Alori looked at the crystal brought to her by Gray Wind, smacked her mouth and asked Gray Wind:

"Should I just eat it like this?"

"You can also mix it into pieces and eat it, but I don't recommend it. The energy contained in this mineral is not very stable. If you mix it too much, there is a certain chance of it exploding." Gray Feng said seriously.

"Then it's best to swallow it whole in one bite?" Alori gestured with his finger to indicate the size of the brown crystal, then pinched the hardness with his finger and said:

"Hui Hui, can't you cut it into smaller pieces?"

"After calculation, this size can achieve the required proliferation rate in your body." When handing the Origin Stone to Alori, Gray Wind said he planned to use Alori as a biological culture medium.

"Okay, it's all for the boss!" Alori picked up a piece of Origin Stone as big as a child's fist and threw it into his mouth, swallowing it without chewing.

"Water! Water!" Alori, who was choking, quickly picked up the prepared wine and drank it.

After swallowing the Origin Stone whole, Alori suddenly said in hindsight:

"Wait a minute, if I turn into a gem crystal dragon because of this thing, I won't explode, right?"

Regarding Alori's concerns, Gray Feng just picked up an injection gun and injected a tube of bright silver liquid into Alori's arm.

"No more now, as long as the Source Stone blocks are regularly dissociated and cultured from the body surface."

Similarly, Milin also got two blood collection bottles containing the same liquid from Ella, but they were not prepared for Milin. The nanorobots in Milin's body were enough to process the Origin Stone.

"This stick is a therapeutic agent used to immunize the body from damage caused by Origin Stone and accelerate the generation of Origin Stone in the body. This stick is a precipitant used to allow the accelerated generation of Origin Stone to quickly condense on the surface of the body to form Origin Stone fragments. ." Ella repeated what Gray Wind said to her.

"...Well..." Milin looked thoughtfully at the two blood collection bottles in his hands.

"Is there any problem?" Ella asked curiously.

"You didn't react?" Milin was surprised by Aila's reaction. He was obviously worried about those world-destroying weapons just now.

"?" Ella, who didn't know how she should react, looked confused.

"You don't really think that this thing is just for treating ore disease, do you?" Milin looked at Aila who still didn't react and explained:

"Although it's an immunotherapy and it's actively precipitated, it sounds quite like a treatment for mineral sickness."

"But if it really cures the disease, why do we need to add one to accelerate the generation of Origin Stone in the body?"

"Ah..." After Milin's reminder, Ella immediately understood what it meant and suddenly everything felt wrong.

"Well, the essence of this thing is to use the receptor as a source of mineral ore." Milin said cruel words in a flat tone: "In other words, it's not that your home becomes a mine, but that your whole family becomes a mineral." Mine."

"Hui... Hui... Feng also said that one week after the injection, it can... be extracted from the body of the treated person... as a new... therapeutic agent."

Ella, whose mind was filled with thoughts of Gray Feng's usual peaceful appearance, only felt chilled all over.

"At least Gray Wind didn't let this thing spread through the air, right..." Milin put the blood collection bottle in his pocket and put it away.

"Love and peace?" For some reason Ella remembered Gray Wind's views on Milin.

"Yes, this is love and peace."
