Chapter 209: Traveling to the City
A puppet dummy that is enough to fight demons is the next most expensive to make, and most importantly, there should simply be no craftsmen and techniques to make such a level of creation in a place like the Cyslion. So when the crow had to sacrifice the demon he had summoned to defeat the first dummy, he didn't think there would be more of it in the castle.
But when a second identical-looking golem appeared at the end of the hallway, and more shadows appeared on the walls waiting to climb the steps, the Raven knew he was mistaken. At the same time, the sorcerer also realized that with so many steel golems, the power in the hands of this Hammer Grand Duke was probably far beyond his imagination.
But that's not something to think about right now, and no matter how the Hammer Grand Duke got or made these dummies, there's only one thing for the Raven to think about right now, and that's to get out of here.
Looking at the second puppet that was about to step over his incapacitated companion towards him, the corner of the cursed crow's mouth showed an excited smile, and the development of things finally made him feel interesting.
"Well, at least leave some souvenirs for the Grand Duke before you leave. The sorcerer said, holding out his hand to the second puppet.
After the flash of magic goes out, the golem can be seen with a black emblem on its chest, which looks like a crow flying around the tower. This is the crow's own emblem, as apprentices of the Grey Tower, they all have a tall tower in their emblem, including Cheese, and in a way, this is the second characteristic of the organization besides the Grey robe.
"Well, then, though I'd love to get to know this interesting Grand Duke now. But let's wait. As she spoke, the Raven flew out of the castle's window, the spell that had begun before it fell was released in the air, and after a cloud of black mist enveloped the caster in mid-air, the ominous raven flapped its wings and flew away from the Hammer Keep.

"Mr. Dipper, where did you go last night? I knocked on your door at night and no one answered. ”
The next morning, as Lynn and Crow sat at the table enjoying breakfast, she asked curiously.
"Maybe I'm sleeping harder. The sorcerer replied flatly, as he turned his gaze to Rin's body, "Did I miss something?"
"No, I just wanted to invite you out for a walk. The night view of the Molten Iron City has always been good. Noticing the crow's gaze, Lyn's face flushed slightly. She bowed her head shyly and replied. At the same time, he began to secretly hope that his outfit today would be noticed by Mr. Deep.
The Raven did notice. Rather, he had noticed Lynn's efforts a long time ago. Because of the relationship of choosing to follow the sorcerer, this girl finally got rid of the status of a maid since she was a child, and she finally did not have the complicated and heavy maid outfit on her. And after getting a sizable amount of money from the Curse Raven to cover the daily expenses of the two of them, Lynn finally had the opportunity to try something she had wanted to try since she was a child.
Dressed in a pale yellow one-piece dress with a short shawl with brown stripes and tassel embellishments, Lynn now feels warm and serene. Coupled with the vividness brought by the blush on the girl's face at this time, as long as it is a normal man, I believe that she will be fond of her new life. The Cursed Raven was not blind, and of course he noticed how touching Lynn was. And he wasn't as impersonal as Cheese, he knew why Lynn was so well-dressed.
"What a loss for me, to miss an invitation from such a beautiful lady. The crow said, a look of regret on his face. But soon he continued.
"I don't know if I have a chance to make amends for my mistakes. Miss Lynn, would you like to give me a chance to make up for last night's regret and introduce me to the city?"
Lynn's face turned even redder. Deep's expression in front of him was so sincere, which made the heartbeat of this girl who was already obsessed with him even more violent. She didn't even notice the disdain on the half of the face in the shadow of the cursed crow under the light and shadow created by the sun.
“... I'd love to, Mr. Deep. It's just that you're going to meet the Grand Duke tomorrow, so it's okay if you don't prepare today?"
"I don't think there is a better preparation for this city under the rule of the Grand Duke, and I can get to know the Grand Duke better. Besides, I don't know if I have such leisure time after meeting the Grand Duke, and I don't want to leave regrets. ”
The raven's words caused Lynn to rise from her seat, and she walked to the window, using this method to hide her excitement. But even if she tried her best to cover it up, there was still a little tremor in Lin's voice.
"Well, then we'd better go out now, Molten Iron City is still very big. ”
"Okay, I'll call a carriage. Let's go right away. The crow said and wiped his mouth with a napkin. If it weren't for the gray robe on his body, no one would regard this person with good upbringing and etiquette as a spellcaster. After all, in most eyes, wizards spend their time studying weirdness, and mages often come across as freaks and behaving weirdly.
There are some differences between the Cursed Raven and the other gray robes in this regard. Perhaps because he can see the relationship between his own death, compared to his peers, the sorcerer does not reject worldly pleasures. But as a spellcaster, he doesn't actively pursue these things. The reason why he proposed to visit Molten Iron City today was only to see what the city had become as the plague approached.
It was not difficult to find the carriage. Perhaps because of the location of the property, although the merchants and commoners had fallen into the panic caused by the plague, the situation in the aristocratic district was the same as usual. Soon, a box-drawn carriage nearby was hailed in front of the two men.
Riding in the carriage with its elaborate interior, Lynn visibly felt a little uncomfortable, this was the first time the girl had taken such an aristocratic means of transportation. Usually even in a horse-drawn carriage, Lynn made the kind of boxcar used to haul goods, or simply a wooden box pulled by a horse. The upholstery on the carriage and the glazing on both sides of the carriage left her at a loss.
"Where do we go first?" asked the Raven softly.
"Ah, yes. Where to go first..."The Spellcaster's question took Lin out of her restraint for a moment, and she thought nervously for a moment, although there were many names of places in her mind, but when it came time to make a decision, she was a little unsure. Eventually, when the horses pulling the cart were a little impatient, Lynn decided, "That, Mr. Deep. I'd like to go to my old orphanage first, okay?"
"Of course no problem, my lady. ”
Following the coachman's command, the carriage quickly headed for the location where Lynn's orphanage had previously been.
