Chapter 73: The king surprised me.

You look quite old, but full of strength.

When I saw King Dino, the king, I had that impression.

By the way, the Marquis of Aperta, the Chancellor standing behind him, has a thin, mean looking atmosphere. I've been smiling slightly for some reason and I'm scared.

And the other one. He's a beautifully shaped boy who's going to mistake it for an elf. The boy, looking around intriguingly, is clearly drawing Dino's blood. His name is Pista en Zola Berlinate.

A prince. Damn, if I rode a white horse, I would look good and regret it.

With that in mind, I just walk with the king asking me to show him around the village.

The first is the Oligo Tower, a tower of sights at the entrance to the village of Ceato.

"Pretty expensive."

"It is useful to check the panoramic view of the village for high altitudes"

If you answer that, the king replies "well" and follows you in silence. With you are Aperta and Pista, and four men and Panameras with a strong side like a Kingsguard.

I'm Till and Camsin, Arte and Dee. Espada kept him waiting because he was dying when he physically climbed the tower.

As I climbed out of breath, I reached the observation deck where I could see the area wide. Sunny weather with few clouds and great views. You can also see the streets and meadows and the huge mountain ranges to the woods and majesty in the back.

And a town of adventurers just made. Later a beautiful star-shaped castle wall and a square fortified city in the center. In the back there is also a lake inhabited by Apkar.

If you look at it again this way, it seems surprisingly likely to become a tourist destination.

Hmm. Shall I introduce King Dino as a tourist destination?

"Er, you can see from here that a small village is the village of Ceato, where I was originally lorded. When I was just here, it was just a wooden fence and a run-down house, but now it's pretty defensive. The walls, gates and moats are the defenses, and the baristas placed above the walls are the raids."

"Barista, huh? Some castles and fortifications serve as bases for defence. But I don't even think it's so user-friendly."

I agree with King Dino that Aperta is as short of breath as I am.

"Right. The barista is designed to attack opponents of a certain distance and size, and the time to prepare for next fire cannot be ignored after firing. It's not a good thing to take around."

King Dino and Aperta looked at this one with such eyes as to see something interesting, even though he was making a negative point.

What do you expect?

"… So, try"

Right in the foreground, I look down at the wall.

"Bora! One shot to the woods, please -!

When he gave the instructions, Bora, who was on the walls of the castle, waved her fist up and responded.

And Bora fires two arrows in a row towards the forest. It rattled the sound of firing and ripping the wind apart as you could hear so far, and the arrows also cluttered the woods.

Several trees fall and the ground sounds.

Clearly, it is plain. Armored Lizards and the like would be a better appeal for me to come, but not inside.

I thought so, but unexpectedly, the gallery made me tense.

"... indeed, it's incredible power and flight distance. And I didn't know you were shooting two shots in a row."

"This is interesting. It's great to be able to do all that without relying on top bowmen, magicians, etc."

Two uplifting people. Pista, by the way, is also thrilled with the view of the walls and the baristas.

All right, the grasp is good.

"So, what else is there?

"Anything else?

I overheard King Dino's inquiry with vegetables.

That's what it is about village defense. There is nothing else.

Troubled, Aperta gently coughed and pointed to the ground.

"For example, if you look at it from us, that star-shaped wall is also strange?

"Oh, the star-shaped castle. That was conceived in an attempt to make the most of the barista. The six triangular walls that protrude outward are wide and raise their defense by covering the left and right. If you ignore the triangular part and try to attack a thin spot on the walls, you will be targeted intensively from a total of three directions. I mean, you can't get to the real walls unless you attack that triangular part first."

To answer that, King Dino and Aperta looked at each other and then looked at the walled part again from the top.

"... I see. It's horrible how those arrows come down from three directions."

"It would also be more difficult to destroy the triangular walls than on one side of the normal walls. Also, if you stick out of the shadow of the triangle, an arrow will fly from another direction."

"Mm... this is certainly a useful form. No, so far, isn't that a perfect defense, except from the sky?

To the two of us who interact like that, I roar in arms.

"Is it empty? For once, I've made a few prototypes, but you won't know unless you actually try them. I'd like to show off all our anti-aircraft weapons."

When they appropriately answered that, they all wrinkled between their brows.

"... it was as if Baron Van were making it"

That's what I heard.

I nod honestly at the words I was surprised to squeal at.

"That's what I said."

Affirming, Aperta laughed with her nose and King Dino coughed with a rugged face.

"I thought I told you. Lies, falsehoods must be forgiven."

"I swear, I didn't throw up"

I answered honestly because I told you to tell me everything. There is no reason to be blamed. Van, you're angry.

Plumping, they looked back at Panamera like they were in trouble. Then Panamera snorts deeply.

"I know you're suspicious, but listen to me first. Because I'd be more surprised."

I lean my neck not only towards the two of us but also towards Panamera, who follows such an unintelligible follow-up.

After showing the walls and the baristas, there's nothing particularly surprising about it.

With that in mind, we all went down from the tower and headed for the village.

"Who did design the walls? It was a very special creation and shape..."

It's me.

"Mmmm... so how's this city? Urban development on a scale that takes years, no matter what you think, but how did you accomplish it?"

"I worked hard to build it. Villagers and Viscount Panamera's men helped us gather the material."

Every time I answer, the faces of King Dino and Aperta get clouded and Pista gets very excited.

This doesn't seem to be believed.

I had no choice but to have the wood block carried to the front of the village of Ceato.

"What, this material?

"No way, in the new material in the dungeon..."

I stiffen up my image by confusing the two of you.

Um, a mechanical bow that allows ten shots in a row. The ultimate goal is an even more aggressive weapon, but now this is the strongest weapon.

The rest is a problem of reduced durability caused by largeness.

The arrows are heavier and the load on the main unit cannot be compared because the firing speed has been increased.

Change the creation to eliminate the problem. Strings that had stopped in the form of hitting the main body and tricks for loading the next arrow were prevented from being impacted internally as much as possible, and the thickness of each part was also increased.

Nevertheless, I don't know which parts will be overloaded if I don't actually move them. Furthermore, the effect of the reinforced parts on the surrounding parts is not known.

Cropping is a triand-error. We just have to try and think about it.

I tried to make a decathlon barista with such a light feeling.

By the way, the arrows aren't loaded yet.

"Yeah, I guess this is it"

So groaning, looking back.

Then there were the bittersweet Tills and the out-of-the-box Kings of Dino.
