Today, a somber atmosphere permeates the lesser demons and goblin hordes... It's not because anyone had an accident, or that someone has died—that's far more sorrowful.

In an open area of ​​the Demon King's territory... the golems were piling up large, cut stones, first laying them on the ground as paving stones, and then laying them around to form a wall.

A large public bathhouse is coming!

After hearing this, they were forced to take a bath, at least once a week... Only the lesser demons who evolved into the fire demon type were exempt from bathing, but they didn't really want to evolve that way.

It would be better to evolve into an Ice Demon type... a loli would be better.

"Left, left~"

Sitting on Xiao Gang's shoulders, Yin La, who was overseeing the construction of the large bathhouse, gave instructions. Then, feeling that it was about time, she said, "That's it, let it go."

As Xiao Gang smoothed out the squeezed-out cement, the huge wall was completed. Now, they just had to wait for the cement to set before the supporting scaffold could be dismantled.

Of course, you also need to remember to remove the spell of "turning mud into stone" to free the hot spring from the solidified stone... This is also why the large public bath was not built near residential areas.

There are natural hot springs here... Although it's a bit far from the Demon King's castle and the residential area, it's not too far from the farm, so the little monsters can come and take a bath after they finish their work.

Yinla was quite satisfied with this...

Although the little monsters didn't look too happy.

The fairies have already conveyed Illa's message to them. In short... after the automatic wand of the water-making spell is implemented, they must come every week to first use the water from the water-making spell to cleanse their bodies, and then jump into the hot spring to soak.

The latter didn't really matter, since my body was already wet, but the process of getting my body wet was really painful... even though it was only for a moment, it was still very unpleasant.

In this respect, these little monsters are the same as the cat-like beastmen.

"It's finished, and it looks beautiful."

Looking at their masterpiece with great satisfaction, Xiao Gang gestured for the constructs to return and said, "Mr. Yinla, impressive. You even know the architectural style of the former Duchy of Caesar."

"Perhaps..."

This has nothing to do with how powerful it is, and... In fact, what Yinla is familiar with is not the former Duchy of Caesar, but the architectural style of a vast empire... The ancient empire in his world was very similar to the former Duchy of Caesar in this world.

Even the parliamentary system is very similar... except there are no electors.

How's Tops doing today?

Yinla asked this question, while Xiaogang, who had been conducting research with Tops, scratched his head. Although his shoulders were swaying, Yinla remained sitting steadily... even though most people would have been thrown off long ago.

Realizing he might have moved too much, Xiao Gang stopped. He coughed apologetically and said, "Ahem, Professor Tops has been asking us questions day and night about our grammar and writing problems... We don't mind, but we're a little worried about his health."

Although Tops was able to greatly enhance his perception and computing abilities after activating the mechanical core, his body ultimately didn't change much... He would still get tired.

It's possible to collapse from exhaustion.

"Don't worry about it."

Yinla shook his head as he spoke. He knew Tops very well and said, "Just give him some advice. He'll fall asleep when he's exhausted. He won't stop working until he can't take it anymore."

Xiao Gang nodded knowingly, and led the golems through the gates of the Demon King's castle, saying, "I understand, just like Mr. Yinla, right?"

"..."

"By the way, Xiao Gang, have you learned anything about inscription in mechanical language?"

As Yinla said this, she made no attempt to answer Xiaogang's comment that "just like you, Mr. Yinla," clearly indicating that she didn't want to continue the conversation... Xiaogang could tell that.

Xiao Gang nodded knowingly. Recalling Tops' inscription process, he said, "We can't understand how Tops summarized the original text in mechanical language, nor can we understand that inscription method."

The manufacture of automatic wands, simply put, involves recording a fixed program that causes irregular metal balls inside the wand to collide and vibrate at extremely high speeds, producing sounds at frequencies inaudible to humans.

This is mechanical chanting, but compared to the chanting of even the most legendary spells of nine hundred thousand words, which is not long, mechanical chanting is much cruder... a direct recitation of the original text.

In the beginning, human magic was similar to this situation. At that time, legendary magic was collectively called "miracles". It required the cooperation of many people, with each person chanting a verse for several days to complete the incantation. Later, it was gradually improved.

"It's normal that you don't understand the translation process, but can't you understand the magic runes that can transform mana into thrust, repulsion, and attraction in all directions?"

Regarding Yinla's question, Xiaogang put Yinla down outside the Demon King's Castle and said, "We can remember the magic patterns, but we can't figure out the way and structure of how the collision and combination produce sound. We can't make any design associations... We can just copy the sample."

If that's the case, then Xiao Gang and the others, as constructs, have rather poor creative abilities... It seems that constructs are more suitable as artificial beings for mass-producing automatic wands than as apprentices of Tops.
