97. Urban management is under construction......
"Why is that elf suddenly behaving so abnormally these days?"
"Aren't you looking forward to Io not paying attention to you again?" Aroma glanced at Gatis a little strangely, and slowly, the expression on her face began to become subtle, "Could it be that Gatis you belong to the kind of tsundere who says he hates but actually cares about the other party in his heart?"
"How did this terrible thought come about......"
"Well, I occasionally see some very interesting stories in the library - isn't it often a story of two people from different families or even different races who are hostile to each other, and rub the spark of love in the struggle?"
Well, Gatis had seen and heard some of those kinds of stories in the past - after that, she had a little reverie in her mind, and replaced the protagonists of those stories with herself and Io......
"I'm going to have nightmares at night! A succubus and an elf have a relationship like that, it's a catastrophe-level mutation?...... And, the library?" Gatis suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but glance at Aroma, "Dare you still have time to read those boring books in the library?"
"It's tiring to pretend to be interested in a lot of magic books that you're not interested in at all......"
As far as aroma is concerned, she is still used to the old "cut whom, talk!" work mode, as a librarian in the first few days, there is still some freshness, but after a long time, the three-minute heat will naturally be extinguished. Now the fragrance is eager to have more passion in life......
Knock Knock Knock –
Just got home. The two of them who changed their clothes were stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes-Io, has this thing changed?
"Aromatic! Gatiss, come and help me...... Not. This thing can't be stored with space magic and props, it's too troublesome. ”
Aroma opened the door and was startled by what she saw.
"What are you doing with so many blasting barrels for mine operations!"
In front of Aroma's eyes, Io's upper body was no longer visible at all, and on Io's hands, there were seven exquisitely crafted explosive barrels - no wonder Io complained that he couldn't use space props to collect, this kind of dangerous object with a strong dwarven style. The relatively unique mechanism of action adopted, once placed in the space props, seems to be due to the relative inertia of the space there.
But that's not the point...... What was Io going to do with the seven large explosive barrels?
"Hey, hey, be careful!" Seeing Io, he was about to squeeze into the room subconsciously. Aroma hurriedly stopped her. The height of the door frame is limited, so if you walk in like this, you will definitely hit the door frame, and if there is some "accident", it will be very unbeautiful. Not to mention, it is still in a bustling urban area. These seven unstable compounds are so "boooom". We're going to have to raze this area!
Aroma hurriedly called Gatis over, and the two of them hurriedly moved the explosive barrels down one by one and carefully set them up.
"What is this?" asked Gatis, pointing to a specially shaped device on the barrels. She thought that Aroma would know what to say, but Aroma shook her head.
But at least one thing is certain, since these explosive barrels have such a special device on them, the effect must be unusual! Aroma still has some impression of the dwarves' enthusiasm for explosives - it is definitely one of the few bad memories she doesn't want to recall.
Because of the dwarves' miscalculations. The mine was blown up, and the aroma ate the ashes all over the mouth...... That experience, since then, I still have to be very dissatisfied with my drunken behavior - I can still talk about finding inspiration when I am drunk and writing articles. Drunk on the calculated data, I thought I was really stupid at that time!
"Huh, you mean that?" Io said to the two of them as he saw Gatis and Aroma's puzzled eyes, "This is used to unlock identity. ”
"Authentication?"
Aroma suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart--what kind of explosive barrel still needs to be authenticated? Doesn't that mean that this explosive barrel can't be easily detonated? According to the dwarf's urine nature, a bomb that can't be easily detonated is not the same as a bomb that explodes......
"Is this 'Molten Heart R? A? The I?D?40' uses the ultimate explosive bomb against the fortress, and it has the title of 'Dio of the Great Engineer' inside the dwarves!
"What is such a dangerous thing, ahhh
Not to mention the obscene-sounding title above, the words "for the fortress" alone made Aroma and Gatis calm—did Io want to blow up the entire imperial capital into the sky?
"Don't worry, because the detonation power is too high, it can instantly evaporate an ordinary-sized city, so in terms of handling, the 'Great Engineer's Dio' is also very rigorous. It is not possible to turn on the initiating device without the Dwarven Certified Grand Engineer ID Card. In fact, without that proof, it would not even be possible to buy such a final battle-type weapon...... Look, this is it!"
Io excitedly took out a card carved from jade from his pocket and handed it to Aroma.
“...... You're still a dwarf!?"
After taking the card and flipping back and forth several times, he still looked up in disbelief at Io's triumphant smile. She couldn't believe that this elf who was in a delicate state of discipline index had such a high-quality academic certificate!
Having dealt with dwarves before, she naturally understood what kind of influence such a card had in dwarf society! To put it bluntly, in dwarf society, the title of "Great Engineer" was almost equivalent to the status of "Great Magister" in human society. This represents Io's knowledge and wisdom in a particular field. Unanimous approval from the dwarven upper class - and Aroma knows exactly how strict they are!
Anyway, a lot of elementary textbooks, he looks like a book from heaven!
"Dwarves and gnomes are not the same...... Well, although it's not so fine now. But in fact, the two brothers-like races, the magical mechanical techniques and gunpowder techniques that we know about, are the crystallization of the wisdom of the gnomes. Well, just in terms of appearance, the difference between dwarves and gnomes is probably in the beard, right? Anyway, they are about the same height...... But the certification of the Great Engineer is the official recognition of the dwarf clan, and it is just a dwarf who has a very good relationship with them. It's just a recognition of the system. However, dwarves have long been teaching and helping students from all walks of life and all races, and dwarves naturally get the most help from their proximity to the water—but compared to the civilization of dwarves back then. It's still a lot worse. ”
"Gnomes?"
"It's normal that you haven't heard of Aroma, because the dwarfs are originally a simple race, and the catastrophe many years ago made them almost wiped out. If it weren't for the assistance of the dwarves. They can say they're exterminated, right? But even so. The gnome is also much less brilliant than before. ”
As an elf Io, who is an elf, by the way, he gave a popular science to Aroma and Gatis, who was born in the demon world: "Is the status of a great engineer such a high status in the dwarf society? ”
"Then this proof of identity of yours ......"
"Well, seriously, I'm the last great engineer in the history of the dwarfs, right? The future is not clear, at least for now...... Similarly, I'm also the last graduate of Luxin University - it's a bit embarrassing to think about. ”
If it weren't for the fact that I insisted on going to the gnomes to study their academics, I wouldn't have fallen out with those old stubborns in my clan, right? There is no chance to regret it...... And Io didn't feel that such an impulsive decision. It's something to regret.
"And this thing ......?"
While it's nice to hear Io talk about things she doesn't know about and that actually happened on this continent, there's something more important to Aroma than knowing about the tragedy of the dwarf race in the past - it's the seven big bombs with indecent names in the room!
"If you want to ask what is the fragrance, it will have that kind of indecent nickname - in fact, because its inventor said something like 'eat me Dadio!' to skeptics when he showed his work...... That's why it had such a strange name later~ Of course, this is the name within the dwarf society, and it will still be used as a serious way to say 'the wrath of the great engineer' to the outside world. ”
"No one asked you this!" Fang Xiang suddenly felt a sore sensation in her temples, "I mean to say - why are you going to bring these dangerous things back!"
"Molten Heart R? A? The I?D?40 is not so dangerous, and the safety assurance measures are the highest in the whole series!"
"But the question is who would go out of their way to carry these bombs home as decorations? I must use them when I buy them, right? The thought of putting these bombs that are said to be 'one can blow up a medium-sized city' and putting seven to blow up something makes my legs shake ......."
How destructive is it to stack seven together!?
The picture is so beautiful, it's almost beautiful, crying, the soul is faint!
Not to mention the fragrance, even Gatis, who was born as a succubus and has a slight degree of enthusiasm for destruction, couldn't help but tremble a little after making up for the destructive power that these "Great Engineer's Fury" might cause.
"No-sue-sue-you-~"
"Gatiss, let go of me, I'm going to stick 10,000 eyes in this stupid elf!"
"Alas...... Don't be like a child. "Holding Aroma from behind Aroma and not letting her pounce on Io is a bit of a struggle for even Gatis to do...... At the moment, however, Gatis felt that it was a very good opportunity to take advantage of the feeling of her hands around the fragrant armpits and gathering them on her chest, especially since she was still trying to rush out of the jaw from time to time, causing her body to rub back and forth......
- Fool Elf!GOODJOB!
For the first time, Gatis felt that Io's face was not so annoying.
"Isn't that what you humans say, 'Secrets make women more attractive?' I don't ask a lot of things about you two. You can't treat me with double standards!"
"You...... What do you want to say?"
Now, not only Gatis, but even the fragrance is a little unsettled. But. Io didn't seem to want to delve into these issues, so he laughed heartlessly twice, and waved his hand to show that he didn't care: "Look at what scares you—we elves don't discriminate against the special ♀ ♀ relationship ♀ between people of the same sex~"
“......”
“......”
Is this really the case?
Gatis and Aroma wisely didn't pursue the question, and since Io had given her a step, they wouldn't have had a showdown with her at this time. Although it is not clear what Io is thinking, neither Aroma nor Gatis will think that this guy is really stupid because of Io's usual slight off-line behavior......
But. Today, she carried home such a dozen big bombs, how could she think that it was something that could be publicized everywhere openly, right? But she still put it in front of her openly...... Does this mean that she wants to show that she has no intention of being an enemy?
It's really an intriguing attitude.
"Well, why are you both stuffy all of a sudden? Don't do that. If the atmosphere is too stuffy, we can celebrate with fireworks......"
"Damn, didn't you say this is 'using the ultimate bomb on the fortress!?don't deliberately pretend to be stupid to ignite it, you guy!!!"
At this time, Gatis didn't dare to take advantage of this opportunity to rub oil, and hurriedly joined the aroma. Rush forward and push Io down. Pressed to the ground - even if this guy should be joking, but this kind of joke is enough to scare people out of heart disease!
"Haha
At this moment, the smile on Io's face fell on the eyes of the two fragrant people, how to look at it - I always feel that I was deliberately being teased, right? As a shrewd human and a cunning succubus, I was actually molested by the elves!
......
As a result, a delicate balance was formed between Io and Gatis and Aroma. What made Gatis feel very helpless. It seems to be because of Io's "efforts", although the relationship is a little clearer. But getting along with each other on a daily basis is not as restrained as before.
It must have been discovered by the other party, right?
As for Io's pretending not to see anything for her own daring succubus, only she knew the reason - but there was one thing Gatis understood. I'm afraid, like myself, Io is also a special individual who is a bit deviant among the elves, right?
The presence of those large bombs was still strong, but it was nothing special except for letting Aroma twitch her face every time she entered and exited the house, and in the next two days, Io seemed to have become busy, leaving early and returning late every day, and almost only after she and Aroma returned home at night, she could be seen coming in through the door.
If you think about it carefully, those seven oversized bombs must not be available in the imperial capital, right? In this human society, it is quite difficult to find a blacksmith shop run by dwarves, let alone sell these bombs that can be used for war acts? Although the ones that Io got back were originally "for fortresses" and not "for mine operations......
I'm afraid it's impossible to start this thing from anywhere else except for the dwarves' territory - but Io himself is an elf, and he has the identity of a great engineer with the official authorization of the dwarf, so it is estimated that when he goes to the dwarf, he can still enjoy the high-level hospitality of the head of state.
That is to say, in the past few days, she is likely to run around in the Manchurian realm?
For many of the secret techniques of the elves, the succubus, who are old enemies, have also conducted quite deep research, and Gatis is not surprised by Io's unscientific steps. What she cared about was the smell of blood that she could vaguely smell from Io returning home—it wasn't the smell of ordinary creature's blood.
Only the blood of high-level demonic beasts can have that wonderful smell soaked in the amount of mana. In itself, the blood of high-level demonic beasts can be used as a fairly good spellcasting material. But Gatis smelled at least ten different smells of blood from Io's body......
On top of that, there seems to be a variety of attributes.
Gatis was almost certain that Io had been going to the high-level demonic beasts all over the land for the past two days to have a bloodletting, and it was obvious that she was planning to use the blood as material or catalyst for some kind of spellcasting. Considering that Io is an elf after all, and although there is a smell of blood on her body, she hardly feels her residual murderous aura and the resentment of the dead, it is estimated that even if the other party is not happy, it should be that Io was knocked unconscious and forced to bleed...... Almost all of the high-level demonic beasts have a high level of intelligence, and according to the customs and rules of the elves, they really can't be killed at will.
Spellcasting materials......
==================
"Aisha, the blood of these high-level demonic beasts should be enough, right?"
"You're so efficient, I'm half a beat behind you, and I've just finished the last step - speaking of which, are those bombs okay?"
Aisha didn't have an intuitive understanding of the "Great Engineer's Wrath" that she had only heard of, so she was still a little unsure: "If it fails, the consequences will be very troublesome - but it can cause great damage without being based on magical elements, and in the current situation, it can only rely on the romance of the dwarves." Alas, I have cut off my own hand, and I have suffered ......."
"Don't worry, even if you can't use magic, seven shots together are enough to blow up a third of the empire's territory, and at the same time, multiple detonations will wipe out that materialized castle from the physical level, no problem at all!"
Io was extremely excited about Aisha's idea - to channel the unpredictable evil power in a specific way, transform it into a substantial demon city, and then blow it up from the physical plane...... I have to say, it's very simple and crude, but it seems to be very effective?
It's just that if this demon city really exists, is it really good-looking?
Io couldn't help but be a little worried—but seeing that Aisha was confident, she should have had an idea for a long time, right? (To be continued......
