Chapter 327 Impression
As I thought, were you surprised, Jin?”
Jin and Reinhart were relaxing in the reception room which Jin was in before going to the emperor .
“Yeah, I didn’t think it would be a woman . ”
“Yea, it isn’t really a secret but I guess we kinda have this custom of not letting the foreigners know . Even I hesitated to tell . Sorry if that bothered you . ”
Jin stopped Reinhart by raising his hand .
“No, don’t worry about it . As for me, I think I was more surprised by how frank she was . ”
She told Jin, who she just met today, about the matters related to the inheritance . Moreover, although it was for the country, she even lowered her head to Jin .
“Her majesty is always saying stuff like ‘I don’t want to dislike lowering my head if it’s for something important’ after all . ”

“… . . ”
“Well, now that I am officially in charge of showing you around, we will stay here for a while and I will guide you through Rozaito tomorrow or the day after . And after that, I guess more discussions?”
The dinner after that was grand .
It was mainly just Jin and Reinhart, with two female attendants and one butler to attend to their needs .
“It’s relaxing to have dinner with less people . ”
Jin said .
“Haha, I thought you would feel that way and so I proposed it . But in the morning tomorrow, the prime minister or the magic minister might come, so I want you to bear that for me . ”
“Well, yea… That’s the normal reception as a country, after all . ”
Jin wasn’t very good at those as they felt uncomfortable to him . Reinhart probably knew that as he spoke of the good news right after .
“Well, you could say, as return for that, I have made it so that we can go look at that huge golem in the afternoon . ”
“Really?!”
With just that, Jin’s mood lightened up . He is not good at dealing with formal situations but it’s different if the topic is about techniques .
After that, he heard a lot about the country and the organizations from Reinhart till it got late at night .
The following day .
After having breakfast, Jin met with the prime minister Yung Fours Fon Kevsla and the magic minister Degauz Fult Fon Manishras . Reinhart was also there .
“I have got the gist of things from Reinhart and have also received information via pigeon from Hatata and Anbelk’s guild . ”
Prime minister Yung was talking now . He had a similar physique to Reinhart, in other words, he was quite slim .
“You have contributed heavily to our country . As such, we would like to bestow the title of ‘Honorary citizen’ upon you . ”
“Jin, in our country, the title of honorary citizen doesn’t make it obligatory for you to pay taxes . However, as it is just an honorary title, you also don’t get the right to residence . But, you will be able to go and visit or use various facilities without much trouble . ”
Reinhart added supplementary details .
“In other words, it is a necessary measure for you to look at that relic . ”
He said that last bit in a lower voice . Jin had understood that this was a necessary step because surely they wouldn’t show the country’s secret readily to just any foreign traveller .
“I will accept it gratefully . ”
Jin answered . The prime minister nodded in silence .
And next, magic minister Degauz opened his mouth . He was 44 years old and had blonde hair and blue eyes . His big, hook nose stood out .
“I have heard from Reinhart that Mr . Jin has interest in our country’s artifacts . I was thinking of taking you there this afternoon . ”
“Yes, I look forward to it . ”
Jin answered . He got excited as he wondered how it differed from his creation–Titan and Daidara .
After that, idle talk continued and the prime minister left midway and Jin talked with the magic minister the whole morning .
And it seems like the magic minister felt something from Jin from that talk as well as–
“Mr . Jin, it sure was fortunate for us to have you come over to our country . ”
Degauz muttered while leaving .
Reiko, feeling that Jin was being judged rightly, was in high spirits throughout the whole talk .
She was silently passing on the conversation to Laojun .
Laojun also analyzed the conversation and said,
[There doesn’t seem to be a hidden side to this . I would even say it is better compared to the other countries he has visited uptil now . However, we can’t relax completely just yet . Ms . Reiko, I leave my lord to you . ]
“Of course . ”
Saying that, Reiko was on alert to protect Jin from everything along with the SP hidden in the surroundings .

“So I will finally get to see this huge golem, eh? I am looking forward to it . ”
He was talking to Reinhart about it enthusiastically .
And at last, afternoon came .
Jin, Reiko and Reinhart went down the stairs which led to the castle’s underground .
Seems like the antique, huge golem is underground .
“I look forward to it . ”
How many times does that make?
“Haha, that’s just like you . But I feel you . I was also like that when they showed it to me first time . ”
“Haha, that’s just like you . But I feel you . I was also like that when they showed it to me first time . ”
Seems like that was the first time Reinhart came to the castle .
“I think even you will be surprised, Mr . Jin . ”
Degauz said, leading the group . And the other 2 guards were following behind .
Degauz had a magic lamp with him . It was a slightly less brighter than the light ball but according to Degauz, it seems like it gets extremely hard to use magic underground .
(I wonder if there’s something blocking it or……)
After crossing the third underground floor, Jin felt the atmosphere change . Or rather, it was pretty clear that the ether there was low .
That’s probably it was difficult to use magic there . On the other hand, magic tools which have mana stored in them work normally .
(Reiko, don’t let the SP come down . )
He said with such a low voice that no one could hear him except Reiko . Reiko nodded as reply .
Reiko has a mana tank in her so she is fine even in places with low ether but the SPs do not have that .
If they were to come down, there was a risk of their actions being interrupted, so Jin stopped them .
And finally, they reached the fifth underground floor . A huge, iron door was there .
“It is beyond this door . ”
Saying that, Degauz took the magi crystal and inserted it into a hole beside the door .
Immediately after, the door slowly began to open .
(I see, so they brought a mana source from outside to move the otherwise unmovable door without a golem, eh?)
Jin saw through the structure at a glance .
“Now then, Mr . Jin, please come on inside . ”
Degauz called him with hand gestures after getting in himself . Jin also hurried in .
“Oohh…”
“Oohh…”
There was a huge space there . The height of the room probably went up to the third underground floor .
And then, illuminated by the dim light from the magic lamp, a truly huge golem could be seen .
It was probably at least 20 meters tall .
It was even bigger than the titans Jin built .
However,
(Iron… eh? Or maybe steel . )
Rust could be seen on its surface . The corrosion had already begun .
It was probably due to the high level of humidity in this fifth underground floor . Iron is weak to humidity .

It’s shape was like a gigas . In other words, the lower portion was strangely big . This was probably to balance .
(But, there’s also the fact that it would be easier to handle dynamic balance if its center of gravity was high . )
If it’s just an immovable object, then certainly it would be more stable if the center of gravity was lower . But what about if it moves?
[This is called dynamic stability . ]
Jin could hear the words of his physics teacher from the part time school . It is much easier to balance while moving if the center of gravity is further away from the contact surface .
[You all have at least tried to balance a broom on your palm while cleaning, right? It’s like that . Even if you were able to do it with a broom, what about a brush?]
It was the same as a pendulum . The further away the center of gravity is from the contact surface, the longer are its cycles and because it moves slowly, it is easier to recover .
(Well, it doesn’t seem like this moves now, though . )
Judging from the rust, the internal structure (if it has one) must be quite damaged, making it unable to endure serial movement .
“It is overwhelming no matter how many times I see it . ”
Jin thought the impression the empress had on him yesterday was much more striking .
