How a Hero Lives as a Writer

34 – The Α and Ω of the Gnostic Water (3)

Elvens are humans, but I don’t know why the dwarves came from there, but this is an opportunity.

“Nice to meet you, Kruger. I am the writer Bright.”

“Mmm! I want to talk to you. Do you have a minute?”

“Of course.”

I was going to go to the store with Kruger, the alpha and omega of the spiritual world.

By the way, Sir Louis was looking at the blond man with a hint of a headache.

What is it?

“Ah, did you get caught too?”

“What are you doing here, Damian?”

Damian?

Are you the son of Prince Albert?

“Now is the time to show the results of my studies at Elvens.”

“Are you planning to attend the cooking contest?”

“Yes. I applied under the name Ian.”

I mean you came here with a purpose.

That means….

“Did Kruger come here by any chance?”

I opened my mouth slightly, and Damian nodded and said in a low voice, “Hero.”

Damian is the son of Prince Albert and will soon become the king of the Duchy of Oklia.

You must have heard that I am a warrior.

First of all, the existence of a warrior is a secret.

You must be that trustworthy, right?

“Let’s go! Even though it’s autumn here, it’s so cold!”

“Uh… I see.”

Something happened suddenly, so I’m completely out of my mind.

Still, as the dwarf said, Aucklia is quite chilly, so it would be better to talk inside.

I headed to the store in Oklia with my party.

“Can I rent a room this size at the store? What a man he was.”

“That’s because novels are selling well. And also a warrior.”

“For a warrior, you look weaker than Damian!”

You shouldn’t compare yourself to the inhabitants of a fantasy world.

“Damian. Are you planning not to go to the royal castle?”

“My son, whom I have not heard about, suddenly appears and sweeps the awards ceremony of the competition….”

Damian said that and his mouth twitched.

Oh… Does anyone know the charm of Himsumchin?

“That’s nice.”

“Bright Ball?”

It’s scary to see with those cold eyes, Sir Lewis.

“Have you arranged a place to stay?”

“I plan to prepare that now.”

… I can see why this person is friends with a big-headed dwarf named Kruger.

It’s a stage gun, this guy.

I’m just a spontaneous person.

Somehow Prince Albert seems to be a person whose inner world has changed.

– Yes?

Prince Albert has a delicate feeling that doesn’t suit his appearance.

This Demian is wearing an artifact that changes his appearance, but he seems to have a softer appearance.

Your voice is a bit calm.

But what you do is very unconventional.

“Haa….”

I think I know why Sir Lewis sighs as if his goal is pounding.

The crown prince crawled all the way here from the kingdom of Elvens without an escort.

I didn’t even prepare a place to stay, and I didn’t even report my return because I participated in the cooking contest anonymously.

Sir Lewis, who treats me kindly, is originally someone who listens to the sound of steel to others.

Maybe he’s holding back the nauseous feeling that something is about to burst out.

“Are you kidding me!”

Oh, it exploded.

Sir Louis glared at Damian with his voice slightly suppressed.

This is the anger I felt when I said I would join the monster subjugation team.

Damian was just scratching his cheek.

“Uh… Excuse me, Sir Louis?”

I’m not sorry.

“Haa….”

Sir Lewis, Season 123456 Sigh.

I lowered my voice and asked, “Are you really that kind of person?”

Then Sir Louis gave a very small nod of his head.

“… Stay overnight at the Blue Wolf Inn.”

“Blue Wolf, Blue Wolf… All right.”

The Blue Wolf Inn is an inn prepared for scribes.

The building is quite large, and the area around it is also a course where soldiers patrol.

If you don’t go to the capital, it’s probably the safest place.

Anyway, it seems that Sir Louis intends to forgive Damian for his deviation.

ㅡ Doesn’t it feel like it’s not just once or twice?

Perhaps that’s why you give up so easily, right?

“Hmmm, anyway, let’s talk about the piled up stories later!”

Kryuger drew attention by drinking a drink brought to him by a store employee.

Yes, King God Emperor blah blah Kruger is more important now.

“The reason you came here is because of me?”

“Mmm! Are you sure you are a hero from another world?”

“Yes.”

I nodded, and Kruger rubbed his beard and smiled broadly.

“I came because I thought I could create something new with your knowledge.”

What is it?

Is this a funny hidden camera?

A slave crawled in front of the slave trader?

“Thank you, Kruger!”

“Please take good care of me too!”

How did you become acquainted with Damian?

Why did humans called Elvens come from the country where they used to live?

What kind of thing do you want to make with the knowledge you gained from me?

There are many things I wanted to ask, but now Kruger comes first.

You can listen to the rest after you get to know them!

“I heard the story earlier that they are building a strange house?”

Kruger asked me about a problem I was worried about, whether the craftsmanship had already been activated.

“Ah, ondol is the way I was in the world….”

As I started talking to Kruger, Sir Louis started talking to Damian about something.

But the story with the father-in-law who appeared like a comet was more important to me, so I didn’t listen to other stories.

“Hmm, that’s similar to the method used in some parts of the Terse Empire.”

“Oh, really?”

“You don’t have to be so firm.”

“Then I’m fine.”

“Ummm… I thought you would be a bit hesitant.”

“So what is the method?”

“It would be quicker to explain with pictures.”

Kruger lightly drew a picture like an inn’s countertop on the spot.

“Now, put a hook on the iron bar here, put a pot on it, and make a fire under it.”

Kruger expressed the heat that started from the embers in the form of ‘⊂’.

“This heat is circulated in this way. Then the part where the heat touches becomes hot.”

Kryuger drew something on the part where the heat came in.

“If you put a room on the other side of the kitchen, only this part becomes a warm room.”

“Then what?”

“I can make fermented food that requires gentle heat.”

So you cook stew with a pot in the kitchen, and fermented food with the heated room floor?

Is this exactly the same as ondol?

Once upon a time when I went to a country house, I saw a scene where people were making fermented soybean paste (fermented soybean paste) and cheonggukjang with a blanket covering the lower part of the neck.

This was the same principle as that.

“Finally, it is a method of smoking with smoke rising with heat.”

“If you don’t make fermented food….”

“Wouldn’t it be nice for people to sleep on the warm floor?”

“Ohh!”

Kruger understands the principle of Ondol.

That makes the story easier.

“The principle of ondol in my area is similar to this….”

I explained to Kruger how ondol is.

Then Kruger nodded and pointed out the problem with my story.

“With the picture you drew, the heat escapes so easily that the room cools down quickly.”

“Uh, is that so?”

“Looks like you need something like this.”

Kruger began to draw on paper the direction of the wind.

I also drew an additional picture of the wind hitting the wall and going against it.

“We need an additional structure to catch the heat trying to escape.”

Kruger installed a structure that catches the heat in the chimney and the entrance of the furnace.

“Ummm… Did I mention it heats the entire room?”

“Uh, is there a problem?”

“This way, the heat will cool down before it reaches the far end of the room.”

Kruger said he had to find the most optimized method through trial and error.

Honestly, I didn’t know it would go this far.

Kruger figured out the structure just by drawing lines on his desk.

It seems that ondol can be realized if only materials and time are given.

Then now we have to solve the problem of comics.

“Oh, have you seen the hardcover copy of ‘Oh My Lady’?”

“That is the reason why I came here.”

“Really?”

That’s right….

“Damian. Could you please wait here for a minute?”

“Please feel free to talk to me too, hero.”

“Oh, can I?”

“Yes. So what?”

“I have something to bring. And outside, call me a writer.”

“Okay.”

As I stood up, Sir Louis followed.

“I will accompany you.”

ㅡ There is no need for Louis to accompany you. You asked for a nib and brought samples of storyboards and comics.

Ah, I guess so.

“I’m going to pick up the sample I left with the merchant. I will be back soon.”

“Oh, I see.”

I left the room after confirming that Sir Louis was back in his seat.

Then I talked to a nearby employee and got the sample I brought back.

“This is a cartoon to be produced this time….”

Kruger, who received the samples of the storyboards and comics I gave him, seems to have identified the problem shortly after.

“It’s a matter of tools.”

“Can this be solved?”

“There is no solution to this.”

“Really?”

“We also draw blueprints when we make complicated things.”

The Dwarf says you can bring the paper and the nib you use for blueprints.

“Both are consumables. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“Then, please.”

“Mmm!”

It seems to be more expensive than regular paper and pen nib, but it’s necessary consumption.

“Ah, I want you to pay in books and comics.”

“Are the dwarves exchanging things like this?”

“Mmm! In the Elvens, equipment and tools were provided and food was received.”

That’s right.

There is a reason why it maintains the best relationship with humans among other species.

“Now then, I would like to hear other information besides Ondol.”

Since he gave advice on ondol, he seemed to ask for something suitable for it.

A story that dwarves would like….

Of course this is “That” Right?

ㅡ That?

Ah, this is a ‘steam engine’.

“The Earth has developed tremendously since the Industrial Revolution took place.”

“Mmm.”

“Here, steel ten times the size of this room carries people and runs on the railroad tracks.”

“Hmm?”

“So this is how it feels.”

I drew a picture of what Kruger drew.

ㅡ Poop!

… Don’t laugh

“This square thing is made of iron. They were lined up and used as a means of transportation to load people and goods like wagons.”

“Is this possible? What’s the power You wouldn’t say it’s an expensive material like moonlight, right?”

“The material is coal and the principle is steam.”

“Steam? You seem to be saying something like this.”

“Huh?”

Kryuger began to draw something on a piece of paper.

Uh, why are you here?

What Kruger drew was really simple, but it was a picture that contained the principles of a steam engine.

ㅡ Ah, that is knowing. It’s called a ‘steam engine’.

Miss Helena held her stomach and started laughing as if she had been waiting for this moment.

No, it’s God’s World, but why do you know steam engines!
