Lord of Training - Chapter 56
Only Krnovel
56. Farming is fun.
Is this what it feels like when a blind man touches an elephant?
I lift the lantern, but all I see is a huge, dark shadow in the center.
‘That’s right! We were able to turn on the lights in the secret lab of the elf munitions factory before.’
I recalled my experience at the past labyrinth gate and examined the wall first.
there is!
Crunch!
I flipped the switch.
Pot!
As expected, the lamps on the ceiling began to turn on one by one, indicating that there was still some magic battery power remaining.
And only then could I see what the huge thing in the center was.
however.
‘This is a dimensional monster?’
I’ve never seen a dragon in person, but the giant skeleton in front of me looked exactly like a dragon.
It looked to be about 20 meters tall at the shoulders, and perhaps 100 meters long from head to tail. Its wings were nothing but bones, but they would have been incredibly large and wide if spread out.
Let’s take a closer look. The pressure is considerable.
Each bone was individually wired up······.
The effort was virtual.
[Dimensional Monster Aviolan (S-Rank)]
There was a sign on one side, detailing the monster’s name, level, and when it appeared, as well as the extent of the damage.
It wasn’t just one!
It was written that three S-class dimensional monsters, including Aviolan, emerged from a giant gate and shot flames from their mouths, turning the surrounding area into ruins.
And the place where the giant gate was created in the past was the same location as the labyrinth gate we entered through.
‘Did the elves fight these crazy monsters?’
It’s shocking, but the fact that the bones of the S-class monster Aviolan are displayed here means that the elves were successful in their hunt.
The world I live in now also once had a huge gate.
In the past, five Orc tribes swarmed through a giant gate that appeared on the southern continent and wiped two kingdoms off the map.
But eventually, humans joined forces to drive out the orcs and clear the dimensional gate.
Orcs were powerful, but they couldn’t fly, so aerial magic knights would have been very useful, and rifles and cannons were ranged weapons, so they could have held a line like the Havelock Wall and stopped the orcs, who only knew how to charge.
But if these dragon dimension monsters you see right now come out of the giant gate, can you catch them like you would an elf?
‘Wow! It’s terrifying just to imagine it······.’
Imagine winged monsters weighing dozens of tons attacking you from the sky, shooting fireballs at you! Three of them at that!
Even the knights of the airborne magic will pee themselves.
It is understandable why the elf world was destroyed.
The moment I entered the labyrinth gate, the mission status window I had seen came to mind.
[Mission: The area where the first giant gate occurred. Find a countermeasure to stop the dimensional monster from the traces of the battle!]
Somehow, the dragon bones before my eyes seemed like traces of a battle during the mission.
Because it’s what’s left after the elves and dimensional monsters fought.
‘Then what is this place?’
I don’t think they would have just displayed monster bones.
I opened my eyes wide and looked around.
‘It looks like they were doing some research here too······.’
The atmosphere was very similar to what I had seen in the first secret lab.
There were bones of a monster in the middle dimension, and several circular rooms appeared.
And I found the place where the gun’s performance was tested.
Is this rifle too big?
The rifle was larger than the machine gun.
I looked at the status window.
[Peace Maker – Dimensional Monster Sniper Rifle. Single shot.
A rifle that can fire spirit bullets.
To ensure durability and a powerful rebound buffering effect, a triple shock protection magic circle is engraved inside.
Dimensional energy charging is required to achieve strong explosive propulsion.
The biggest drawback is that it is heavy.
Material: Dragon Bone]
Just looking at it, it looked incredibly heavy.
I once heard of a sniper rifle.
‘Crazy! How am I supposed to shoot this?’
I think it will weigh at least 50kg.
I didn’t think anyone could hold this and shoot it.
No, it would be impossible for orcs either.
Where is the spirit bomb?
When I turned my head, I saw six palm-sized bullets placed in a glass display case on one side.
What was unusual was that there was a cross mark on the front of the bullet.
[Spirit Bomb (Efreet’s Breath) – Contains Efreet’s powerful flames.
Bullet Material: Dragon Bone.
Upon impact, the bullet splits, creating a powerful fire explosion.]
[Spirit Bomb (Chaos of the Lion Nest) – Contains the lightning of the Lightning Nest.
Bullet Material: Dragon Bone.
Upon impact, the bullet splits and the chaos of the lightning spirit nest is released.]
There are two types of bullets.
But these bullets are made from dragon bones?
I read the description and looked at the Aviolan on display.
There were bones everywhere from head to toe.
That meant there was another dragon skull somewhere here, besides this one.
Because these bullets are made of dragon bone.
“Ah! Now I see, this is a research lab that was researching ways to hunt monsters like dimensional dragons!”
It seems that the elves were badly hit by the Dimensional Dragon once, so they tried to respond by creating these monster weapons.
It was a shame there were only six bullets.
Well, it was a weapon that couldn’t be held and fired anyway.
Should I mount it somewhere?
Worry about it later.
‘Let’s pack it first.’
I took the Peacemaker sniper rifle and spirit bullets.
And then I continued farming again.
“Oh! A bulletproof vest. Lucky me. Hehe!”
When I saw the bulletproof vest hanging in one of the rooms, a laugh escaped my lips without me knowing it.
It was clear that this underground laboratory was built much later than the secret military factory laboratory previously discovered at the Labyrinth Gate.
If the weapons collected from the military factory research lab and the military base’s underground warehouse were anti-personnel firearms intended for use when fighting between elves, this underground lab had anti-monster firearms made to deal with dimensional monsters.
And this bulletproof vest was much better than the one I found back then.
Because the Dragon Bone Plate was inside!
‘This could even stop a cannon!’
Of course, you’ll die from the shock of the explosion.
But the bullets that flew into his chest and back were now unmoving.
If you don’t pack this, you’re an idiot.
I picked up the Dragonbone bulletproof vest.
The only downside is that it’s a bit heavy.
I think it will weigh about 6kg······.
Well, it’s good to have some physical training.
I took off the bulletproof vest I was wearing and put it in the alchemist’s workshop, and put this dragon bone bulletproof vest on right away.
It feels like I have some kind of solid insurance, and I feel proud.
Another regret was that there was only one bulletproof vest.
‘I’m sorry. The battalion commander will use this.’
No!
For a moment, goosebumps ran through my whole body.
I looked at Aviolan again.
Those are all dragon bones!!
With that, we could make Dragon Bone bulletproof vests for not only our battalion members, but hundreds of others.
Of course, it was so hard that it might not be possible to handle it with the current technology of that world.
But in my alchemist’s workshop, anything is possible.
If you feel sorry for the Dragon Bone, you can try it after the fusion ratio increases further.
Let’s pack everything first.
‘It’s been a while since some big items have arrived in my alchemist’s workshop!’
He planned to call his men, untie the wires, take everything down, and put it in the alchemist’s workshop.
‘Is there anything else?’
I looked around other rooms too.
Then I found another thing.
This is such a blessing!
[Dimensional Detector – Can detect dimensional energy.
By turning the dial on the right you can select the dimensional energy intensity you are looking for.
By turning the dial on the left you can select the range of dimensional energy you wish to find.
[You must charge dimensional energy to use it.]
It was a detector the size of a fist.
This should make it easier to find the dimensional gate!
I wanted to test it right away.
This time, I took out the dimensional core fragment I got from the Thieves Guild and held it up to the dimensional detector.
In an instant, the dimensional detector’s charging was over.
I turned the dial on the right first.
Click! Pop!
Suddenly, a green, translucent screen like a hologram appeared before my eyes.
And there was a red light flashing underneath the hologram.
This red light stayed in the same place even as I moved.
‘Ah! This is me!’
I have dimensional energy too.
As I turned the dial a little more, the light pointing at me disappeared.
And then it was time to increase the range by turning the left dial.
‘Huh? What’s here?’
An intense red light was shining.
That was also very close.
I moved the detector around, looking for the red light.
And that red light was twinkling in the room at the end of this lab.
‘It was here!’
[Small Dimensional Core (Dimensional Energy Remaining – 76.8%)]
A black dimensional core was inside the vacuum tube.
If it had gone the other way, I would have found it first.
Once you find it, what does it matter?
And the remaining amount was also helpfully displayed in the status window.
But then I opened my eyes wide at the writing on the bottom of the vacuum tube.
[Taken from Aviolan’s body]
What? This dimensional core was inside the dimensional dragon’s body?
So, that means you caught three dimensional dragons and got three dimensional cores from them.
That means if you catch an S-class monster, you can also obtain a small dimensional core.
Or maybe it just comes from the body of a dragon dimension monster.
Is it because the amount of energy in the dimensional core has decreased like that?
Maybe they used dimensional energy for research in this underground laboratory.
Still, it had more than three times more dimensional energy than the dimensional core fragment I had.
Just having this dimensional core would recharge my dimensional energy for the next year.
‘But why did you leave this behind?’
Was there any reason to run away so quickly?
He shook his head.
First, I put the dimensional core in the alchemist’s workshop.
[Find the Lost World Heritage (1/3)]
I finally found one.
Increased the dimension detector range slightly.
But then another red light flashed.
‘Huh? There’s another one nearby!’
I moved to find the red light.
A passageway appeared at the left end of the giant research lab.
As I walked down the hallway, the red light got closer and closer.
After walking along the passage for a while, another wide space appeared.
and.
‘The Dragon Bone is here too.’
This was also a research center.
Another difference was that the dragon bones here were not hung in a fancy manner like in Aviolan, but were piled up in one place.
However, the dragon skull here was smaller than the Aviolan one.
I need to take care of all of this too.
And on one wall was a laboratory, with another dimensional core visible in a transparent vacuum tube.
[Small Dimensional Core (Dimensional Energy Remaining – 42.2%)]
This one was a bit smaller and had less dimensional energy left.
This too was carefully placed in the workshop.
[Find the Lost World Heritage (2/3)]
In an instant, I got two dimensional cores.
Now everyone knows that I found two legacies.
But I still don’t know what the legacy is.
But one thing I don’t understand is that the Lacrosse Empire has cleared more labyrinth gates than any other nation, so why doesn’t it use its elven heritage as a weapon?
I heard about the Labyrinth Gate from Archduke Harry.
There were only three labyrinth gates created in Atlan over the course of 100 years.
And he said that the gate clear condition was not difficult because it was not about finding the elven heritage like me, but killing elite monsters or more than a few dimensional monsters.
But the Lacrosse Empire will be different.
They must have cleared at least 15 labyrinth gates, and even the large labyrinth gate.
Then, there must have been a clear condition to find the elf’s heritage among them.
Then you must have secured the Dimensional Core. Why don’t you use the Elf Legacy as a weapon? It’s quite powerful······.
It’s not like they didn’t have any elven heritage.
Even in the Seven Princesses’ subspace warehouse alone, there was a lot of elven heritage.
‘Have I discovered some great legacy?’
Something that is incomparably greater than the elven heritage I possess, and that also requires a significant amount of dimensional cores.
He shook his head.
This wasn’t something that could be answered by thinking about it now.
Then another passage appeared on the other side.
How many alternative research labs are there?
As we followed the passage, a third space appeared.
however.
‘Why is this place destroyed?’
There were no lights on in the ceiling, and one wall of the lab had completely collapsed.
And the third dragon bones were also scattered here and there.
This was a sign that something huge had invaded from outside.
