168. It’s okay to fail
“You can... get out?”
“I’m not sure.”
“As expected, Mr. Kang! I believed you!”
After hearing Kang Seung-hyun’s story, the two were delighted with their bright faces. It’s because I thought I couldn’t do anything because I was stuck like this.
“So what is the method?”
“Simple yet difficult.”
Seunghyun Kang picked up the doll that Pengrill was controlling.
“Just like Mr. Pengrill did, use puppetry to press the switch outside the door.”
“Puppetry?”
“If we can’t get out of here, we have no choice but to pamper the guy outside.”
The housekeeper’s room is being cleaned by cleaning mannequins, so if you manipulate one of them to press the switch, you can open the door.
“Uh... but is that possible? Isn’t this a subspace?”
Kim Ho-jeong knocked on the wall and said.
The basement where the three people are now is a different space from the Azul Continent, so they can’t affect it normally.
No matter how much skill you use in this room, you won’t even hear a sound from the housekeeper’s room.
“Usually it would be. But...”
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the doll he was holding.
“It is possible with a special device.”
“A special device?”
“Think carefully.”
Pengrill had been manipulating this doll until just before that. He must have been stuck in his workshop.
“The fact that Pengrill sent a doll from Spencer’s workshop to control it means that he can interfere with his skills from the outside.”
Of course, it is also possible to interfere with the outside from the inside.
“I know? What did he do?”
“The previous head of the family must have taken some action when creating this room.”
“Ancestor family head?”
“Because this space is known only to the head of the household.”
It is a secret sub-space that is not even known to the family, so if you are unlucky enough to be trapped there, no one will come to rescue you.
The ancestral head of the family was concerned about that and took out some kind of insurance.
[Observation Eye]
Kang Seung-hyun activated the [Observation Eye] and looked around.
It was hard to see, but several blurry magic circles were hidden around the corner.
“There is a relay magic circle installed in the room.”
“Relay magic circle?”
“Usually you have to have very strong powers to have an impact beyond dimensions.”
The relay magic circle has the effect of amplifying the skill effect and delivering it to the destination so that the skill can be exchanged across the dimensional wall.
“It seems to have been set up in case you get trapped inside.”
However, dimension shifting magic has not been fully developed yet, and there are limits to the technology of Azul Continent, so it is still a field that is still being researched.
In principle, dimension shifting is the realm of gods.
‘Relay magic circles are broken and unstable even with slight shocks, and they are rarely used in normal dungeons because they cost a lot to install.’
So, it is mainly used for mansions of nobles who are overflowing with money and do not go out well in their domains.
It is usually installed in a secret room at home and is used to secretly communicate or monitor others.
“Then can I use any skill?”
“The relay magic circle installed here has a usage condition.”
[Only members of the Spencer family can relay.]
[Only puppet skills can relay.]
Kang Seung-hyun read the information that appeared in front of him.
“It’s made so that outsiders can’t even use it.”
As the head of the Spencer family, of course, puppetry was limited, and a magic circle was installed that could not be used by anyone other than the Spencer family.
“It’s a room that was originally created with the intention of passing it on to the next family head...”
Even if he inherited the Spencer family blood, he wouldn’t admit a fool who didn’t know how to use puppetry.
Such an idiot should starve to death in here.
I felt this intent.
“In other words, in order for us to leave this room...”
There are only two people in the world who can operate this magic circle.
One is Pengrill Spencer and the other is...
“I need Rebecca’s help.”
Rwenna Spencer is the only one.
“We don’t know how to do puppetry, and even if we could, we couldn’t use relay magic because we weren’t members of the Spencer family.”
“Didn’t you say that you learned puppetry earlier?”
“Rebecca, operate the doll to open the door.”
“...I am.”
Rebecca lowered her gaze with a worried face.
His complexion was not good and his hands were shaking slightly.
“oh!”
“Now you just have to find and find the doll... and operate it...”
Rebecca targeted the mannequin doll that was cleaning the housekeeper’s room.
Dalgrak.
The mannequin that was cleaning the room stopped moving.
“Now, if you just move the desk...”
Cuddle giggle.
“eww!”
Of course, Rebecca hadn’t worked as a puppeteer for a very long time, so moving a step wasn’t easy.
“Turn it off!”
Geek.
He had only moved one step, but his mana was drastically reduced, and the magic circles installed here and there trembled uneasy.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, because I’m fine...”
Rebecca even had a nosebleed.
It was because he tried to manipulate the high-ranking puppeteer’s doll by force.
‘I’m going to collapse like that...’
Is there any way to help?
Seunghyun Kang looked around.
‘huh?’
Looking in the corner of the room, the ego golems were looking this way.
Rebecca, to be exact.
‘Come to think of it, those were the golems that Pengrill made and threw away.’
Pengrill and Rebecca didn’t look much alike on the outside, but perhaps because they were blood siblings, the dolls seemed to feel the two alike.
“If you want to help, go and help.”
Kang Seung-hyeon slew a word, and the two golems in front of him crawled away.
Wow!
The two golems lightly rubbed their heads on Rebecca’s body and began to repair the twisted magic circle.
“You seem to have knowledge of puppetry.”
Perhaps Pengril put it in to show off his talent without much thought, but the action came back like a boomerang.
Skip!
fault!
Subsequently, other golems began to help Rebecca by moving their bodies to repair the magic circle or assist in maneuvering it.
“Just a little more, just a little... more!”
Rebecca, supported by the golems, manipulated the doll with all her might.
Chick Geek Chick Geek!
thud!
Finally.
The doll crawled under the desk
and clicked while activating the switch.
The cellar door, which had been closed tightly, opened.
“W It’s open...”
Puff!
As soon as she finished speaking, Rebecca fell to the floor. It was because mana and stamina were exhausted from forcibly manipulating the doll.
“Rebecca!”
“are you okay! It’s because I’m a little dizzy...”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Kang Seung-hyun held out a potion to her.
Fortunately, it was within the range that could be restored with potions.
“It’s all thanks to the help of those kids.”
Rebecca looked at the ego golems with a smile. They wandered around Rebecca for a moment before quietly retreating back to the corner of the room.
“It would have been possible otherwise...”
Rebecca sighed and drank the potion.
This was a reckless task to the extent that he would die or fall unconscious if the ego golems did not help.
“I hope you succeed! Rebecca has a lot on her mind!”
“You look tired. Shall we take a break?”
“are you okay! It is far more important to stop him than that.”
I managed to open the door, but it took two days in the process.
It was never a situation to relax.
“Okay. Then let’s take a break after everything is over.”
“Let’s check Harvey’s condition first!”
Tak Tak Tak!
The three hurried up the stairs.
“huh?”
“Uh...”
But the landscape of Tracotti was very different from two days ago.
