25. When you become a relationship that needs each other.
25. When you become a relationship that needs each other.
Sergeant John Cutter and Corporal Chris looked puzzled.
“Oh my god! The princess of the Lacrosse Empire and the elf prince?”
“So you’re saying that the Seven Princesses are Aina Lieutenant?”
“What on earth have we gotten ourselves into? Ah! This is dizzying! This is dizzying.”
Honestly, I’m dizzy too, but the captain can’t let it show.
Is this a sign that things will work out well? Is this a sign that things will get complicated?
I wonder if it’s the former?
It was smooth sailing so far, passing thousands of soldiers and safely reaching the heart of the enemy, finding the Scarlet Princess so easily, and staying in the same building.
“Shhh! Both of you, be quiet. Have you forgotten where you are?”
Sergeant Phelps silenced the men in my platoon.
Thanks to that, I was able to quietly organize my thoughts.
‘It was clear that the Artaran elf officer was very cautious about even paying respect to the prince of his clan.’
This was proof that the elves were keeping an eye on the empire, and that their status had fallen to that extent.
And the Empire intends to continue to exploit the elves.
If we do it right, maybe we can use the elves?
No! I shook my head.
For now, just remember why you came here.
Squeak!
The door opened and Evolod came in.
He looked at me.
“Look at me for a moment.”
I went into the next room with Evolod.
“Should I call you prince now?”
“as you please.”
“Why didn’t you tell me from the beginning?”
“Because I didn’t ask.”
“what?”
“I am now the prince of a kingdom without form. My status is meaningless.”
It was an evolutionary answer.
“I just came back from talking to Princess Scarlet. I asked her if there were any relics of the elven ancestors found in the Kingdom of Lutes, but she said there weren’t any.”
“Do you really believe that?”
“There’s no way to confirm it, but there’s nothing I can do.”
Evolod made a bitter expression.
He also had his suspicions, but as expected, there was no way to confirm them.
Evolod looked at me.
“What are we going to do now?”
“Of course, I should wait for the princess to fall asleep before starting work.”
“I knew this would happen, so I told Arta to arrange my quarters right below Princess Scarlet’s room.”
So, that means the room above this one is the room of the Seven Princesses.
He’s not a stupid guy.
“good job.”
“Then now keep your promise!”
“That’s not it. I haven’t moved the stuff yet. I’ll give it to you tomorrow when the sun rises.”
“Okay. I’ll wait.”
I called Sergeant Duncan to Evolod’s room.
And then we went out for a while and then went back in.
“how is it?”
In response to my question, Sergeant Duncan drew a circle with his finger.
It is said that Princess Scarlet’s subspace warehouse skill was copied.
Things are going well.
“Sir, shall we begin right away?”
“Not yet.”
Light was streaming in through the curtains in the upstairs window.
First, I called all the soldiers to Evolod’s room and waited for the lights to go out.
Princess Scarlett must have been worried, because the lights were on for 30 minutes.
This work had to begin after she was asleep.
If she were to suddenly enter the subspace warehouse, Sergeant Duncan would be caught right away.
Well, then things get complicated.
“The lights are out.”
“Wait a little longer.”
We turned on just one small lamp and waited another 15 minutes.
“That’s it. Sergeant John, watch the window, Corporal Jester, watch the door.”
“yes!”
The two dispersed, and as I nodded, Sergeant Duncan opened the subspace storage room.
“her!”
Evolod, who was watching this, let out a low sigh.
“You really opened a subspace warehouse. Is this really Princess Scarlet’s subspace warehouse?”
“Just wait. You’ll find out soon enough.”
I looked at Phelps and nodded.
Just across the street, Phelps opened his own subspace vault.
Now, when Duncan brought out the items, Phelps just had to receive them and put them in the subspace warehouse.
“let’s begin.”
Sergeant Duncan went inside.
We waited, looking into Scarlett’s subspace warehouse.
However, 15 minutes had passed since Sergeant Duncan went inside, but he had not come out.
‘What’s wrong?’
“phew!”
At that moment, Sergeant Duncan emerged from the subspace warehouse.
But I’m empty-handed.
“what’s the matter?”
“The subspace warehouse is level 3. One side is 500 meters long, and there are so many items inside. If we move them one by one, it will take a month and we won’t be able to move everything.”
“That many?”
“Yes, I think we should just find the important items and move them.”
Duncan said there were many boxes inside, as well as military supplies such as rifles, bullets, and uniforms, as well as a considerable amount of supplies such as food and water, as well as tents and construction materials.
And he said that there were also recently added or unorganized items piled up in one corner. Even expensive art pieces and sculptures······.
For a moment I was dumbfounded.
“How did you put that much in by yourself?”
“well.”
Moving inside was also an incredibly difficult task.
Even Phelps, who has great strength and physique, had a hard time, so you’re saying that the slender and petite princess had to move and organize all that?
“Something seems strange? Can’t you guess something?”
Then Special Agent Phelps said:
“If the subspace warehouse skill level goes up, wouldn’t there be another special ability? Like being able to enter with a designated person?”
“Duncan, isn’t that in the skill description? Read it carefully.”
Duncan opened the status window and read the description.
“There is no such word. Instead, there is this phrase. When opening a subspace warehouse, you can adjust the size of the entrance. It can be from 2 meters to 10 meters.”
At that time, this thought occurred to me.
“Isn’t this the same as a dimensional gate?”
“yes?”
“Anything a human can carry, wear, or ride through a dimensional gate can pass through. So, doesn’t the subspace warehouse also allow anything the space magician rides through?”
“If you’re going to ride it, is it a horsepower car?”
“If you can expand the diameter of subspace by 10 meters, even a horsepower truck can fit in there.”
“ah!”
Phelps let out a short exclamation.
“That could be possible. I haven’t tried that.”
Phelps’ level 1 subspace warehouse was only two meters in diameter at most, so it had to be carried by people.
“Come to think of it, the inner entrance of this subspace warehouse is very wide. It’s big enough to fit a truck in.”
We nodded at Duncan’s words.
Realistically, it would not have been possible for a woman to carry that much weight on her own.
Of course, organizing it is also a mysterious thing.
“We can’t use it anyway, so let’s just take the valuables.”
“yes.”
“You said there were a lot of boxes inside?”
“That’s right.”
“There will probably be valuables like artifacts or gold coins inside the boxes. It will be difficult for you, but you will have to open them one by one, check the status window, and get them.”
“Okay, I’ll try my best to find out.”
It was when Duncan was about to go inside.
“Hmm! I’d also like you to check if there’s any elven heritage.”
The one who just spoke was Evolod.
I looked at Evolod.
“Even if I found the elf’s legacy, I can’t give it to you. It wasn’t in the contract.”
“Once you find it, let me know. I want to check it out too.”
“Of course.”
***
Sergeant Duncan dragged the box out with all his might.
“I found the gold!”
The box was full of Lutes gold coins.
The agents who were watching the net and the agents who were watching it opened their eyes wide.
Actually, what was better than that was the artifact.
Because that’s something you can’t buy even with gold.
I put the gold coins in Phelps’ subspace warehouse, and put the artifacts in my alchemist’s workshop for now.
As my rank and level went up, my alchemist’s workshop also expanded considerably, so I was no longer burdened.
After moving five gold chests in succession, Duncan went back inside.
The number of boxes Duncan had brought out so far was not large, but each one was valuable, so the sound of money piling up could be heard.
The problem was that dawn was already breaking.
Evolod, who had been sleeping on his chair, stood up.
I don’t know if he really slept, but he didn’t seem to care at all about gold coins or artifacts.
Evolod opened the curtains and looked out the window.
“Time is running out. Do not forget to hand over the elven legacy.”
“Don’t worry. Even if I didn’t bring much, I will pass on my elven heritage.”
Now, I just had to take out a few more things and then I would be done.
“Eww! Eww!”
Then Duncan came out, grimacing and groaning.
‘doll?’
“I found one!”
He brought out a life-sized steel doll.
[Steel Battle Doll – A magical doll that moves by summoning the spirits of the earth.
When the summoner teaches the movement, it moves on its own. (The number of commands and movements that can be remembered varies depending on the level of the summoned spirit.)
There is a fragment of the dimensional core in the heart.
When you fully charge the dimensional energy, you can summon an earth spirit and move around for a month. When the dimensional energy is completely consumed, the spirit disappears and you have to teach it the movements again when you re-summon it.]
found!
This was the elf’s legacy!
“Wow, this is an early battle doll!”
Evolod opened his mouth wide.
I’ve never seen him look so surprised.
“Do you know what this is?”
“I heard that when elves go to war, there is a magical doll that stands at the front holding a shield and blocks enemy bullets. I didn’t know this actually existed!”
Evolod approached and tried to touch the battle doll.
Then Duncan and Phelps stood in front of them.
“It’s okay. I’m not going to run away with something this big.”
As I spoke, two people stepped aside.
Evolod was touching the battle doll and was amazed.
And then Duncan came up to me and whispered quietly.
‘There are five more battle dolls like that inside.’
I nodded quietly.
And then I quickly rolled my head.
The fact that such a good battle doll was not put to use right away but was left in a subspace warehouse meant that the Empire had not yet properly secured the dimensional core or dimensional core fragments.
If the Empire can use the elven ancestral heritage they have discovered so far, the situation on the front lines may change.
And then we could have a massive purge of the elves.
‘But should I continue working?’
Military supplies and supplies were of no concern to us, but artifacts and elven legacies were like national treasures.
If I had finished the work like this and run away quietly, I could have escaped safely.
I’ve collected seven artifacts and five gold chests, so I’ve achieved the goal I set out to achieve.
But Princess Scarlet’s subspace vault was truly a treasure trove.
There was still too much to miss.
“shit!”
Evolod suddenly blushed and clenched his fists.
Now there was a sense that the Empire was finally admitting that it had been deceiving the elves.
I had felt it for a while, but seeing the evidence before my eyes made me feel like a thousand fires were boiling inside me.
I took out the gravity field generator.
“Okay! Take it.”
Evolod stared at me intently.
“Are you really giving it to me?”
“Have you been living a lie? Of course. You’re supposed to keep your promises.”
Evolod approached me and received the gravity field generator.
When he received his ancestors’ legacy, he was so moved that he couldn’t speak for a while.
“By turning the dial on top, you can adjust the gravity from 2x to 5x.”
Evolod tried to turn the dial.
“Wait a minute. It’s charging right now. Don’t turn it.”
“It’s ready to use?”
“Okay, set the gravity and press the button on the side, and within 2 seconds, bang!”
I put my fingers together and then spread them out.
He flinched because he had already experienced the gravitational field.
“But how did you charge the dimensional energy?”
Evolod asked with a curious face.
“well.”
“Could it be that you have a dimensional core?”
I smiled, and Evolod looked astonished.
“Take care of that first. You might lose it.”
Evolod stopped putting the gravity field generator in his bosom and suddenly looked at the battle doll, his eyes sparkling.
I know!
Rather than a disposable gravity field generator, I’d rather have a battle doll that can be used for at least a month by charging it with dimensional energy.
Even though they have the same heritage, the value of a combat doll is much higher.
I blocked Evolod’s view and motioned to Phelps.
The quick-witted Phelps placed the combat doll in the subspace storage.
At that moment, Evolod swallowed dry saliva.
“May I make you a suggestion?”
“what?”
Now it’s time to make a new deal.
“For the next four days, I will give you one piece of elven heritage each day. And on the last day, I will give you that battle doll I just found.”
“Is that true?”
“Instead, you actively help us continue to smuggle items from Princess Scarlet’s subspace warehouse.”
“What should I do?”
Evolod’s eyes were blazing.
“It’s not difficult. For safety reasons, we’ll stay with Princess Scarlet and keep her from going outside as much as possible. And if Princess Scarlet opens the subspace storage, we’ll stall for time and contact us right away. What do you think we can do?”
“I will definitely try it.”
Having already tasted the legacy of his ancestors, he was now in a state of shock.
And next to the princess was her own elf adjutant, so if we just returned the boxes we had taken out to their original places and used them well, we could work during the day as well.
“Okay! Deal done.”
I reached out to Evolod.
We held each other’s hands.
It wasn’t the end just with the inheritance.
To move or use the elven heritage, dimensional energy was needed, and to charge dimensional energy, dimensional cores or dimensional core fragments were needed.
And it seemed like the dimensional core could only be obtained by entering the labyrinth gate.
The Empire had not even handed over its legacy, so there was no way it would hand over the dimensional core once it was found.
Eventually, the elves had to ask someone to write their legacy, and they had no choice but to seek me out, as I shared the same secret.
When a relationship becomes like this where we need each other.
‘We’re in trouble now!’
