Golem

In the warehouse.

Rienta and Frieren searched for a long time.

Only then did they find a dusty Grimoire in the corner.

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed. "I guess we don't have any decent Grimoire here."

Just as the shop owner said, there's nothing special about magic here.

Rienta sighed as she looked at the Grimoire in Frieren's hand.

[The magic that makes paper airplanes fly very far...]

It can be described as the most folk magic among folk magic.

However, Frieren would probably agree.

Really.

I accept.

After briefly glancing through the Grimoire, Frieren agreed.

It was nearly nighttime.

Following the information provided by the shopkeeper, Rienta companions arrived at a farmland filled with pumpkins.

From the perspective of crops alone, there is not much difference between the Ernst Region and the Northern Plateau, or even the Central Countries.

"This is the only farmland that hasn't been harmed yet, let's keep watch here."

Frieren made a decision and led the group to hide in the bushes by the field.

Time passed little by little.

Before we knew it, the moon had climbed high into the sky.

The nights on the Northern Plateau are always cold, compounded by the occasional chilly winds.

This was very difficult for the cold-sensitive Stark.

"It's so cold..."

Just then, a strange creature appeared in the [Detection Magic] of Rienta and the others.

Fern asked with some confusion, "Lady Frieren, the reaction from the Mana Detection..."

"I see." Frieren suddenly realized, "This reaction... it's definitely not Magical Beast."

Soon, the strange creature appeared before everyone's eyes.

Its overall shape resembles a snake, but it has four more robust forelimbs.

It walks using the magic power in its tail, and its entire body exudes a metallic texture.

He also carried a large, tattered bamboo basket on his back.

"This is Golem from the Unified Empire era."

Upon hearing Frieren's explanation, Rienta was quite surprised and said, "Wasn't the Unified Empire a country that ruled the entire continent more than a thousand years ago? How can this thing still move now...?"

After a thousand years, not only has its body remained resilient, but it can even function normally.

This Golem is a bit too big for its size.

Frieren nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "After all, it was made by the Great Mage Flamme himself."

"If it's a military Golem, then that's a bit troublesome..."

That makes perfect sense.

After all, Flamme is capable of creating Barriers that can last for thousands of years without needing any Mana replenishment.

Creating another Golem can last for thousands of years would be acceptable.

As for the military Golem that Frieren mentioned later, Rienta wasn't worried.

The shop owner mentioned this when introducing the information he was commissioning.

It only damages farmland and kills livestock and wild animals, but has never harmed people.

It doesn't look like a military Golem at all.

The Golem had a clear objective; after emerging from the forest, it headed straight for the farmland.

While the group was talking, the Golem had already arrived at the farmland.

It was swinging its forelimbs, relentlessly slashing at the pumpkins in the field.

"Why did it cut all the crops into pieces?"

Fern looked at the Golem in the farmland, which was still waving its forelimbs, with a puzzled expression.

Rienta couldn't figure it out either, so she looked at Frieren, waiting for her answer.

As the only one among those present who had ever seen Golem, Frieren immediately understood after careful observation.

"I see, I understand now."

With that, Frieren stood up and walked towards the Golem.

Stark was very anxious and shouted, "Hey! Frieren! It's too dangerous!"

He then tried to rush forward and pull Frieren back.

Rienta stopped Stark, saying, "Don't worry, since Lady Frieren recognized the Golem, there won't be any major problems. Just watch patiently."

Just as Rienta had predicted.

Frieren walked right up to the Golem without being attacked.

The Golem stopped what it was doing, looked at Frieren, and lowered its head docilely.

What would you like to order?

Taking this opportunity, Frieren finally found the source of the problem.

The bamboo basket behind the Golem was so rotten that it was unusable.

This is the bamboo basket the Golem uses to hold food. Because it's damaged, the Golem can't proceed with its next task.

On the side.

When Rienta and the others saw the Golem bow to Frieren, they all came out.

"This guy is a cooking Golem."

"Although I don't know why it was restarted, it's now trying to cook dishes that were ordered to it a long time ago."

When Flamme created this Golem, she was curious about the Golem that it wasn't meant for combat.

Flamme's reply was, "Without such a thing, people would find it very inconvenient when the world achieves peace."

At the time, she had no idea, nor could she imagine, how long it would take for peace to arrive.

But Flamme said, 'I believe you will definitely encounter that era.'

We are now in a time of peace.

Frieren collected her thoughts, chuckled softly, and then stretched out her palm toward the Golem.

"Stop running."

The Golem straightened up and repeated, "Stop operating."

Then he stopped moving and stood there blankly in the field.

This request was resolved so casually.

However, it goes quite well with the reward of [the magic that makes paper airplanes fly very far].

After Rienta put the Golem into her [Personal Space], she looked at everyone:

"Now that the mission is complete, let's hurry back."

"I've already decided what I want for a late-night snack."

Inside the hotel.

After learning that Rienta and the others had dealt with the Golem that was destroying the crops, the shopkeeper took out the Grimoire and handed it to Frieren.

"Thank you very much. This way, the crops won't be damaged."

Frieren took the Grimoire and began to read it.

Rienta then suggested that she would like to use the hotel's kitchen.

They invited the shop owner to stay and try their cooking.

Because of the Golem, the shop owner hasn't been able to have a proper meal in a long time.

Rin was naturally very tempted by Rienta's invitation.

After several attempts to refuse, he finally agreed after being persuaded by Stark.

Afterwards, Rienta and Fern went to the kitchen together to prepare a late-night snack.

The shopkeeper stayed because they still needed to stay in the hotel kitchen.

Secondly, because he couldn't stand seeing people go hungry.

Of course, this would only be done if it were within one's capabilities.

Early the next morning.

Rienta and the others bid farewell to the shopkeeper and headed towards the Imperial Territory.

After a night, Frieren finished reading the Grimoire.

Before leaving the hotel, she even made a paper airplane following the steps in the Grimoire.

With a gentle flick, the seemingly simple paper airplane flew away.

Whether due to deconstruction or magic, defying common sense, it showed no sign of falling.

"It flew so far!"

"Not bad, right?"

I'm begging you guys to help me rate this, oh yeah, and also urge me to update!

Grateful!
