Lord of Training - Chapter 118

118. Dimensional Capsule.

Capsule with open lid.

Dozens of engraved marks on the capsule lid and bottom.

There’s no way I, an alchemist, wouldn’t know.

This was clearly the dimensional energy absorption sphere that was in the capsule of the underground secret base where Iris was discovered.

I never thought I’d find something like this here!

‘How much dimensional energy can I gather with this?’

The large pillar-shaped capsule that Iris was in had hundreds of filaments inside.

So this dimensional capsule will be much less efficient than that.

But it is 3 meters in size and has enough space inside for a person to lie down.

This is a mobile dimensional energy absorption capsule!

I could write it right now, and Iris could write it too.

In Iris’ case, she was able to replenish dimensional energy even while sleeping.

And if you put a dimensional core here, you can slowly charge dimensional energy.

And if I sleep here, it will replenish dimensional energy, so I will consume less dimensional cores.

I don’t know about other people, but I recognized the true value of this capsule.

‘I was researching this here.’

There were sketches of the inside of the capsule, and on one side was a detailed drawing of the absorbent matrix.

Perhaps he was trying to create a dimensional energy absorption filament by drawing it in the same way.

That’s not how you do it······.

This magic circle appears as one single shape, but it is actually a combination of at least 4 or 5 magic circles linked together in sequence.

If you don’t do them in order, it won’t work.

In addition, dimensional energy must be applied evenly at once, and while I, an alchemist, can do it as easily as breathing in the workshop, it is nearly impossible to create a fusion circle outside.

Because even the slightest interference or movement of dust can cause the connection to fail. That’s why alchemists, in order to use an external connection circle, must first build an internal connection circle and then use it.

Yet the very fact that they were attempting something like this was proof that the Empire was already ahead of the other kingdoms.

‘Where on earth did I find this?’

Iris didn’t say anything about such a device······.

Doesn’t she know either?

Was it created later than when Iris fell asleep in the capsule?

Or maybe the elves brought something from a lost world, just as we brought something from a lost elven world.

Think later!

Since we don’t have enough time to farm, let’s just grab it first.

The capsule looked quite heavy.

But I have this.

[Use the Body Strengthening (lv.3) skill.]

I pushed it with force into the alchemist’s workshop.

I looked around to see if there was an identical capsule, but there wasn’t one.

So the only thing I had was a dimensional energy absorber.

And I also swept up all the research materials and pictures around me.

Even if someone left evidence of their entry, this had to be taken care of unconditionally.

Because they might figure out a way later.

I hit the jackpot.

But I can’t be satisfied with this.

Since we worked hard to get here, let’s sweep it all away!

I searched the other rooms.

At that time, a peculiar ship-shaped airship model was discovered.

But the model aircraft was actually floating in the air.

‘Surely you’re not going to make this?’

I looked at the specifications posted on the wall.

500 meters wide and 1.3 kilometers long?

It was stated that the ship could transport up to 5,000 troops with a crew of 1,000.

And it was said that one small dimensional core could fly for up to one month.

This is not unfair!

It was just a castle flying in the sky.

In addition, it is a huge aerial fortress with 50 cannons above and below and machine guns on all sides.

‘Can something like this really fly?’

With this, there was no need for a separate bomber.

If this thing can fire cannons, bomb bombs, carry tracked tanks, and carry flying magic knights, it’s a total aircraft carrier.

That’s a flying aircraft carrier!

We hadn’t even built a tracked tank yet, and the Empire was already preparing for the next one.

For a moment, I got goosebumps.

I’ve felt this before, but the Emperor is really serious about conquering the world!

Even though it’s just a model, I felt like I should show this to Commander Harry.

First, I packed the aircraft carrier model into the subspace warehouse.

And then I searched the other rooms.

A pistol hanging on the wall on one side.

‘Huh? Is this a new Imperial assault rifle?’

It was the first time I had seen such a rifle.

But the appearance was very crude.

I turned on the status window and looked at it.

[Dimensional Charge Gun – Can use dimensional magazine.

The Dimensional Magazine can hold an infinite number of bullets, and when you pull the trigger and the magazine is empty, bullets will automatically be summoned from the dimension you put them in and you can fire them continuously. (You need to adjust it appropriately as the gun may overheat and break.)

[You must charge dimensional energy to use it.]

So this is an infinite magazine.

The gun was a new creation of the Empire, and only the magazine seemed to be an Elven heritage.

This seemed like a prototype rather than a finished product.

But I guess I’ll have to make it again.

The unlimited magazine was nice, but the gun’s durability was a problem.

I put this in the workshop because I can remake it into a dragon bone later.

And I put everything I could find in the room, even the smallest things, into the workshop.

In a word, this place was a treasure trove.

After sweeping and moving for a while, the largest research lab appeared in the center.

I haven’t been there yet.

But the inside was not visible at all from the outside.

Huh? The door is locked?

It didn’t matter.

“Puke! Open this for me!”

“Kkuit!”

Of all of Puke’s abilities, this is the one I like the most.

I don’t know the principle of controlling the density of the body or controlling the pressure, but when Puke puts his hand into the keyhole and turns it······.

Crunch!

It opens like this.

“Kkuit!”

“Yeah, that’s it!”

I received a salute and went inside the door.

For a moment, a curse rose to my throat.

“Haa! These kids are doing what they did in the elven dimension here too!”

Human experimentation.

No, human flexibility.

A dozen people had already been used in experiments, and were placed in large flasks in a horrifying state.

This is seriously crossing the line.

And I was sure.

The emperor of the empire was clearly a spirit being or a reincarnation from the elven world.

So, they’re probably doing another experiment here to implant a piece of dimensional core into the body of a living being.

It may be that the medium-sized dimensional core inserted into Iris’s body was a coincidental success.

Or maybe only the high elf clan could do it.

‘That’s why Puke doesn’t come in here.’

Puke, who had been following me around like a puppy until now, did not come into this room.

I guess I already knew what was going on inside.

And I wondered.

Did the Emperor really order all this?

Or I was wondering if there was a separate magic engineer or assistant.

Are there any more success stories like Iris?

The problem was the emperor’s intentions.

‘They’re trying to create more monsters like Iris using human fusion.’

And they will try to take over the human world.

It was a bitter thing.

How many more people will they kill and experiment on for that?

With this level of madness, he was not a conqueror, but a mad murderer.

Will peace come if we just kill the emperor?

With this level of military power and technological prowess, it seemed likely that second and third emperors would continue to emerge.

I took a deep breath and went out the door.

Anger was still building, but the mission was the priority right now.

Quite a bit of time has passed already.

There are still many places I haven’t seen, but the problem is that I have to return to the shrine by midnight.

‘I have to find the dimensional energy battery used in the orbital tank!’

One last thing that came to mind was something I had to pack.

The Orbital Tank was too heavy to fit into my Alchemist’s Workshop even with the use of the Body Enhancement skill, but I could fit as many Dimensional Batteries as I wanted to power the Orbital Tank.

If I could take care of that, I could delay their use of the trams.

The most important thing now was to delay the war as much as possible.

It flew and moved quickly.

Another huge space was discovered.

‘What kind of research institute is this?’

There were dozens of small rooms, each containing strangely shaped plants, animals, insects, and even dimensional monsters.

And in the center, many experimental tools were visible.

Is this a place where they study monsters?

Since there was no dimensional battery here, we first went to another space.

‘found!’

Hundreds of dimensional batteries.

There were more numbers than I thought.

There were dimensional batteries with filaments drawn here and there.

These were simple ones made in one step.

One side is a dimensional energy charging sphere, the other side is a dimensional energy releasing dimensional energy that has been stored.

In the middle of the battery, there was also a bone-like dimensional energy storage cell, and the cell had a dimensional energy storage filament drawn on it.

‘Can the Empire already use the first stage of the linkage?’

Or maybe the Orbital Gigant and the Dimensional Battery were all brought from the Elven world?

First, let’s worry about it later. Since we don’t have time, let’s pack everything!

[Use the Body Strengthening (l.v3) skill.]

I’ve collected all 600 dimensional batteries.

And on one side, there was a small dimensional core inside a transparent flask.

This was for charging the dimensional battery.

I also took care of this.

Now it’s time to get out.

“Puke, hurry up!”

“Kkuit!”

Puke went into the water bucket and just stuck out his finger to indicate the direction of escape.

Whenever he passed by a place where his clone was, he would absorb the clone he left behind and continue moving.

‘The lab will be in chaos tomorrow!’

It’s going to be hard to farm here again.

Because surveillance will be strengthened.

But I don’t know who stole it.

Paaaaang!

I moved through the narrow passage using my high-speed flight skills.

And then we returned to the temple where the royal tombs were located.

Drrrrrr! Boom!

It came from the tomb of the previous emperor.

The interior was quite bright with dozens of candles lit all over the altar.

There were soldiers guarding the door outside, so I couldn’t just open the door and go out.

I deliberately pushed and broke a vase on a tomb near the door.

Clang!

“What are you talking about?”

“Come on in!”

Crunch!

The door opened and a swarm of soldiers with rifles rushed in.

Meanwhile, I was able to get out through the top of the door with the help of the dimensional gloves and the blackened Puke.

I safely left the temple and ran straight to the shrine.

I ran with my eyebrows furrowed because I thought I might get caught by the flying magic knights flying around the palace if I used my flying skill for no reason.

And then, just in time for midnight, we arrived at the grim reaper’s office with five minutes left.

Mission accomplished!

I had a rewarding day today too.

***

The morning of the parade.

From the morning, everyone dressed up in their crisp uniforms and headed to the palace.

By now, the palace and the secret research lab must be in chaos.

But the parade will proceed as planned.

We moved toward the inner castle guided by the soldiers.

And he sat in the special seat for the ambassadors, located about 300 meters to the right of the emperor’s platform set up on the south gate of the inner castle.

I was surprised because I was closer to the emperor than I thought.

‘Security is too lax?’

It was a place where sniping or rifle shooting was possible if one wanted to.

What confidence?

Phelps and the crew sat next to Princess Sophia, and I sat as close as possible to the Emperor.

And Paolo sat next to me.

“Wow! Look over there. It seems like there are more people there because it’s the first military parade in a long time.”

“It’s a good thing we’re not standing there.”

“That’s right. I’m glad I can sit comfortably and watch.”

The citizens were crowded only on the outer wall, and the soldiers formed a double long belt to block them.

Citizens had been waiting since dawn, but we arrived in the morning and sat down comfortably.

I heard that hundreds of thousands of people have gathered inside the outer wall to watch the parade, and that there are 50,000 soldiers just to control the citizens.

And above the sky, the Imperial Guard’s Aerial Magic Knights were guarding.

“But isn’t the Emperor’s security too lax? The distance to the delegation is too close.”

“That’s right. Maybe it’s confidence?”

“What confidence?”

“Even Emperor Sword was a named-class aerial magic knight until three years ago.”

“I heard that you were an excellent aerial magic knight, but you mean you were a named-level one?”

“Of course, it’s not official. In fact, I haven’t personally participated in any war since becoming emperor, so I can’t confirm it. However, since he was already an elite-level aerial magic knight during his time as a legion commander, considering his rapid growth, everyone predicts that he’d already be a named-level knight by his 30s.”

He nodded.

Well, I’ve reached the named level after 4 years, so I guess I can do sword mode too.

“The Imperial Army retires at age 60, so even the Emperor no longer uses the term Named-level. Even our Supreme Commander Harry Russell was not called a Named-level after retirement.”

I’ve heard that Aviation Magic Knights peak at around level 40 to 50, and then gradually decline in skill after that.

So, Emperor Karl’s power must have diminished a lot by now.

“And next to the Emperor is always Lieutenant General Halmut Müller.”

“Ah! I see.”

I knew about Halmut Müller, too.

Although he was in his early 50s, he was still renowned as a named-class aerial magic knight and was the commander of the Royal Air Magic Knights who escorted the Emperor right next to him.

Bamparabam! Bam baam baam! Bam bam bar!

The trumpet blew cheerfully.

“Bring back His Majesty Emperor Karl Mods!”

The emperor finally appeared above the castle walls.
