On the lower level of the building on the east side of the Lord's Palace, there is a spacious basement into which unused clutter is usually piled up, but other than that, no one usually approaches this damp and moldy room.

But now, you can hear the sound of a rope in the depths of the room.

Suddenly, a mad scientist let out a frightening laugh.

"Ahaha...... Aha~~~ Finally~~ Finally finished~~~!"

The mad scientists cheered and even danced in the middle of the gloomy room.

This mad scientist is none other than Alize El Crusnier. The second daughter of the lord of this mansion, and not far from her, set up a strange research table.

The research bench is made of some material, but it emits a soft glow in the darkness and illuminates the "objects" placed on the pedestal.

It may not be accurate to say that it is an "object", because "she" has a head, a face, a body, limbs, and a fair, fleshy skin.

It was clearly a "person", a living woman...... Although she did not move at this time, her body was naked.

If the rest of the house had seen the woman's face, they would immediately recognize her as Hilda, a maid who had been nearly killed on the night of the bandits' night raid and had been transformed into a fighting machine by Arizel.

Not long ago, during a field test in the field, Hilda's mechanical body was almost completely damaged.

But within two days, the body in front of him had been repaired intact, and it was no longer the body of the iron warrior at that time, but a perfect human body.

"If you do it seriously, it's not difficult~~"

Alize said with some self-absorption, although it was not difficult, but she also experienced a lot of failures during the process.

You know, she was able to cast magic with incredible speed and precision that other magicians couldn't have done, but even so, it took two days and two nights for "she" on the pedestal to finally take shape.

In the beginning, the material that simulated human muscles and skin was too simple, and if you paid attention to the touch, it would become too fragile and have poor heat dissipation, and eventually it could not withstand the output power and heat of the virtual power furnace, and it would melt quickly.

However, if you pay attention to toughness and durability, you will not be able to reproduce the texture of the human body, and you will become no different from the original robot.

As a result, no matter how much you change the livery, you can't hide the stiff texture of the armor, and the mechanics of the joints will be visible if you exercise vigorously.

In desperation, Alize overturned all the design compositions, fundamentally changed the logic of the overall structure, and adopted a more complex and extremely difficult multi-layer overlay assembly.

Using Hilda's original brain as the ecological core, all the nerve endings are transformed, and the ports of the magic guide substrate of their inorganic matter are closely connected.

The skeleton is made of high-strength demonized carbon steel, a new material that is smelted by crushing the magic core and blending it into carbon steel in strict proportions, not only is the molecular structure tougher, but the conductivity of magic is far superior to all existing materials in history.

Artificial muscles, also based on demonized carbon steel, are delicately woven with demonic steel threads that are only the width of spider silk, and the strongest pieces of demonic flesh activated by necromancy magic finally produce extremely tough musculature that can reproduce ecological reactions.

At the same time, Ariezel once again excavates the body of Hilda, who had been persecuted by bandits and put her in the ground, for precise dissection and observation.

Using this as a sample, the bones and artificial muscles of the demonized carbon steel were spliced together with an assembly process accurate to micron accuracy, which perfectly reproduced the size and proportions of Hilda's limbs.

In addition, the color, texture, and distribution of body fat of the artificial skin have also been faithfully restored, and countless miniature sensing lines have been set on the back of the artificial skin, which can convey extremely detailed temperature and tactile information to the brain, and can adjust the temperature and color of the skin through these sensory information, so that the bones and muscles can make corresponding reflex actions, and imitate the nervous system and reflex structure of the human body to the highest extent.

And so the flawless artificial maid in front of me was born.

Originally, Alice planned to abandon all the combat weapons she had used before, but considering the instability of the world situation and the harsh ecological environment, the necessary combat effectiveness was still a factor that must be considered.

However, the simple and practical deformation structure did not seem to be favored by her sisters, so Alize had to rack her brains to design a new set of armament schemes.

Here, I have to mention a certain special property of demonized carbon steel, which is called melting point change and solid-state memory.

The melting point change refers to the fact that the melting point of the magic carbon steel will change sharply under the influence of a certain frequency of magic ripples according to the difference in metal content concentration.

Therefore, as long as the substrate of the magic guide that controls the movement of Shirda's whole body is allowed to emit the corresponding wavelength 24 hours a day, a large amount of demonized carbon steel with different metal content used to make up Shirda's body will be stored in liquid form in the artificial organs of Shirda's chest and abdominal cavity.

Solid memory, on the other hand, is a form memory ability, once it is fixed into a certain form and the memory is completed, then whether it is destroyed, dissolved, or even evaporated, the demonized carbon steel will autonomously return to its original form at an extremely fast speed.

In fact, in the previous armament evaluation, external armor of similar nature was used, but due to the low magic conductivity of the material itself, it was not possible to achieve the restoration effect planned in advance.

Based on the above two points, Hilda's form of armament is about to emerge.

Once the weapon is required, the Magic Guide substrate will change the frequency of the mana ripples, and in a matter of seconds, the stored demonized carbon steel will be quickly released from the pores of the skin, and will immediately solidify into the intended armed form.

At the end of the battle, the armament can also be withdrawn in the same way, and of course, according to the needs of actual combat, these armaments can be removed in a solidified state and replaced with other equipment.

The only thing that is unsatisfactory is that because the demonized carbon steel will emit a rather violent glow when it is solidified or liquefied, that is, when loading and unloading the armament, it is extremely easy to be detected and cause vigilance.

It can be said that this is also the only fly in the ointment of the cross-era material of magic carbon steel.

However, despite Hilda's weapon, Eliez decided to seal it away. Because, Alice doesn't seem to like this.

As a result, Elizar has added strict safety locks to her weapon control system, and Hilda has no authority to drive them, meaning that she cannot use the equipment of her own will.

It is only allowed to be used if there is a threat to life, or if Aliezel herself has lifted the ban.

"Actually...... I don't like Hilda......"

Before the maid woke up, Eliezer spoke her heart.

"My sister and little sister are always sticking to you, my father is also obedient to you, and the maids in the house regard you as their vision and example...... It seems that the whole world revolves around you~~ So I'm jealous of you, so I'm playing a prank, so I want to make you angry, but you always put on a smile that seems to be all-encompassing to clean up my pranks one by one, and finally gently bury me in your arms. It's not our mother...... But she always does things like her mother...... But, as much as I hate you, I couldn't be happier to see you like that that day......"

As she spoke, Alize leaned down and buried her little head deep into the arms of the motionless maid.

The soft touch and body temperature that she had created by her own hands were transmitted to her cheeks.

"You know what, Hilda. At that time, I was serious about killing you with magic~~? At that time, magic was not an ordinary electric shock...... That's a positive electron cannon...... If you are hit, not only will you die, but even your body will turn to ashes~~ Not even a single cell will be left...... I don't want to see you like that...... I don't want to see that perfect 'mother' who makes me jealous become that miserable. ”

Finally, Alice said-

"But it's great to be able to save you...... Two days ago, I'm sorry~~ Although I don't think I'm at fault, after all, your body didn't feel pain at all at that time, but Sister Alice was angry...... So I'm sorry~~

After saying that, Aliezel raised her head and began to wake up the sleeping beauty in the "most traditional" way.

"Wake up, Hilda~~"

Eliezer leaned down gently towards the sleeping maid on the pedestal, channeling her magic into her mouth, into her body.

"Mana fill rate - 89.12 percent, the magic guide is driving, and the core of thinking is beginning to be connected - skeleton, muscles, skin, and the armed solution are being self-tested - the self-test is complete, everything is fine, the start is successful-"

These words did not come from Hilda's mouth, but merely a self-discipline program set up by the magician.

After this—

"Ariza ...... Miss Eliza......

Hilda's dull eyes regained their former vigor and radiance.

Regaining consciousness, she wondered about the dimly lit basement, her unusual state, and the little girl who threw herself into her arms.

"I, what the hell is this...... I remember a group of men attacking...... And then...... And ......!"

In fact, during the battle evaluation of the previous two days, Hilda had no self-discipline at all, and her soul had been in a deep sleep. And those interactions with Alice and Sophia on the way are just puppet shows made by Ariza from memory.

After all, Hilda is only a maid, not a warrior, and Arize believes that in order to use her weapons wisely and use them efficiently, it is not necessary to awaken the real Hilda, and it is better to rely on the self-discipline system of the magician.

So, the true meaning of Hilda's resurrection is in this moment.

----

Let's be honest - Alice realized that she really underestimated the "farming" technology.

It's just the simple use of "hoe", which makes her brains hurt, and within a few strokes, her palms are hot and her joints are numb.

"Hahaha-Miss Alice, don't push yourself too hard!"

Alice's hard-fought appearance made the surrounding farmer uncles laugh.

And the reason why she wields a hoe in the farmland on the outskirts of the town is originally out of the need for physical exercise.

[Golden Fighting Qi] is certainly an extremely domineering force, but Alice doesn't want to rely on it too much. The teachings of her father in her previous life are still deeply ingrained in her heart.

Of course, she can also do ordinary physical exercises.

It's just that when she came to a natural farming town, Alice was curious, and she couldn't help but want to go to the fields and experience the joy of rural life.

So, it became this tragic situation.

Although there is no major physical problem, no matter how you operate, it is really not the point. Seeing those farmer uncles who didn't know anything about internal strength and vindictiveness, completing their work several times faster, Alice couldn't help but become irritable.

"Ahh

Mental instability, causing the fighting spirit to get out of control, Alice remembered to swing vigorously, and the hoe handle snapped with a "click".

"Ha-ha!"

"Hey, hey, did you see it, the eldest lady of the lord's family broke the hoe! It's amazing, hahahahahaha——!"

"Hahaha, it's the first time I've seen such a little girl break a hoe!"

"Mmmm——!mmmm

The comical scene, and the hilarious laughter around her, made Alice blush and stomp her heel hard.

Who expected——

A fierce spring rises to the sky at his feet, and the water sprays in the air, drawing colorful tracks in the sunlight.

"Hey, it's fake! Miss Alice has dug a well!"

"Great help, long live Miss!"

"yes, yes, finally I don't have to go so far to fetch buckets of water!"

It seems that Alice's efforts to control the fighting spirit are not at home, and just a casual move has caused the veins and rock formations penetrated by the fighting spirit, and even the groundwater gushes out.

It's just that the farmers are ecstatic about this, and this is finally a happy result.

After this, Alice understands that agriculture is not just about plowing the land and sowing seeds, but also about other tasks that are too many to count.

It is necessary to squat down and uproot the weeds that grow out one by one, inspect the seedlings one by one to catch the pests, and choose fertilizer appropriately according to the growth conditions...... And so on and so forth.

Fertilization is a very delicate task, requiring experienced farmers to operate carefully, and chasing fertilizer at will will only poison the soil, but kill the growing crops, Alice has no idea about this, so she can only follow the instructions of the farmer's uncles.

After a series of processes have been completed, if there is still room for energy, it is necessary to start opening up new soil.

This is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive task, cutting down the dense bushes, burning them, and bringing nutrient-rich sediment from the river banks to irrigate the soil, making the land fertile and easy to grow.

And at this time, Alice finally found a place to use.

- Dragon's Roar.

This is the technique of transporting the fighting energy in the body from the soles of the feet, through the meridians of the whole body, condensing it to the heart of the fist or the bottom of the palm, and releasing it in one go.

Powerful, simple and brutal, it is Alice's first original move from skilled martial arts combined with fighting spirit after coming to this world.

"Drink, ————!"

The golden fighting spirit rolled into a whirlwind, sweeping away a large area of tall bushes in front of him, clinging to the soil, and the thorn-taunted branches were broken into fine pieces, impeccable and powerful power.

To be honest, using this trick to clean up plants is really overkill. The high concentration of [Golden Dou Qi] can even be shattered by steel.

"Huh...... Huh...... Hahh......"

The only drawback is that the dragon roar cannon will consume a lot of Alice's internal strength in one go, making her physical strength deplete in an instant.

"Oh...... Miss Alice, that's amazing!!What kind of move is this!?"

"It's, it's amazing...... She is worthy of being the daughter of the lord...... How young can you have such a ...... Is this the knight who once belonged to the strongest knight order in the empire, and is this the unique skill of his family?"

An elderly farmer who was familiar with the lord's original identity couldn't help but sigh.

"Ha, haha...... Almost......"

Alice gave a cute smile weakly, in fact, although she didn't know anything about the resume and strength of her father, Count Lutga Cruznier, she was not surprised, but in similar story settings, nobles and knights or something were commonplace.

And the exaggerated name of "the strongest" at every turn is also a common problem of border farmers who have never seen the world, and the strongest knights of the empire are actually a ridiculous setting in many works.

It sounds loud, but it's been a knight order from beginning to end...... So of course they're the strongest, why? because there's no competition.

I don't know if the author himself is aware of this, most of them are just to set a pretending background, but forget the most fundamental rationality.

By the time the farming work is over, it will be over. The peasants' wives welcomed Alice with great hospitality and a taste of the finely prepared country cuisine. At the end of the break, everyone will go back to work.

The food is a little rough and simple, but it has a gentle flavor.

Celestia is just a small town, everyone is like a family, supporting each other to work hard, but living a very fulfilling and happy life.

In today's empire, Silia is one of the few cities that did not impose exorbitant taxes on its subjects.

Therefore, everyone loves the lord very much, that is, Alice's father.

In the days that followed, Alice repeated the same routine, and before she knew it, she became a shining star in the eyes of the townspeople, being deeply pampered by these kind and cheerful people, and she gradually fell in love with this lovely town run by her father.

No, that's not right...... It should be said that for her, Alice El Crusnier, she has loved the land under her feet from the beginning.

- Ariez...... What the hell is that guy doing...... The next time you meet her, apologize.

Alice secretly made up her mind.
