There is a term called "lost technology."
It refers to technology that was used in the past but is now useless or lost.
There are many reasons why technology becomes lost, and one of the most prominent is the advancement of technology itself.
At one time, full plate armor that covered the entire body in steel was praised as practically invincible, but it lost its meaning after the advent of guns.
Steel or whatever, you just go Tang! and fall in one shot, so its significance faded.
In this way, some things disappear due to technological advancement, and many also vanish due to various disasters.
In this world in particular, there are a vast number of legacies left behind by the gods, but people often do not know their principles or uses.
They only use them because the gods taught them in the past; records of where they are actually supposed to be used are hard to find.
There are two technologies that can be considered representative of lost technology in this world: breathing methods and magic.
One might question why breathing methods are considered lost technology, but at this point, no one knows what kind of breathing method Aris used.
There is only a record that she taught two disciples and they split into two factions.
Even the breathing methods of those two disciples have been lost over the long passage of time, so how much worse must it be for Aris’s own breathing method?
Title) What is Grylls’s breathing method?
Didn’t this guy start charging mana just by breathing at some point?
ㄴ Didn’t Heavenly Demon say she would teach him?
ㄴㄴㄴ No, no, no. I heard Sword Matstar taught him the Mana Cultivation Method, and Heavenly Demon also taught him the Internal Cultivation Art.
ㄴ I think Heavenly Demon taught him some kind of mnemonic formula?
ㄴ But right now, his mana fills up just by breathing?
ㄴ He’s the Chief God, after all.
ㄴ Ah, I see.
ㄴ What do you mean "Ah, I see" lol.
ㄴ Honestly, even if you just research Grylls’s breathing, wouldn’t it be better than most internal cultivation arts?
ㄴ True, but knowing that bastard Grylls, he’s such a naturally gifted genius that he’d probably answer that he doesn’t even know how he does it himself.
ㄴ Besides, the foundation itself was taught to him by the fixed-handles, so it’s a bit ambiguous.
Title) Wow, but looking at stuff like this
(Roughly some awesome Earth civilization video 1)
(Roughly some awesome Earth civilization video 2)
(Roughly some awesome Earth civilization video 3)
There really are a fucking lot of lost technologies lol.
I wonder if I’ll be able to see those before I die.
ㄴ If the gods were still around, maybe, but Aris killed them all;;
ㄴ There are lots of relics in the Forest of the Four Seasons, can’t they use those?
ㄴ It’s hard enough for Grylls to wander around alone;;
ㄴ No, can’t they just bring all the books out? Send them to the Holy Kingdom and make them public.
ㄴ Do you really think no one would pocket them along the way?
ㄴ No way the Hero would do that, right?
ㄴ Maybe not the Hero, but the people under her are the problem.
Title) Aris’s Greatest Mistake
(Roughly a manga image barely bordering on adult content)
(Roughly a suggestive video)
Because she killed all the gods, she halted technological development, and now we can’t enjoy stuff like this.
If the technology had been preserved intact, we could have enjoyed it with all five senses!!!
ㄴ Aris: Haha, sorry.
ㄴ The gods probably enjoyed stuff like that, right? I’m jealous.
ㄴ I wonder if Grylls will look for a similar relic?
ㄴ He has the Elf Queen right next to him, so why bother?
ㄴ Honestly, the Elf Queen is prettier than any of the women he’s found so far lol.
ㄴ Don’t Abandon the Hero) Please do not treat the Chief God as a lecher!
The breathing methods at least have clear roots, so it is ambiguous to say they are completely lost.
But magic is a different story; many spells have been completely lost without leaving behind almost any records.
Aren’t most of the technologies currently being unearthed in the Gallery treated as "magic" right now?
Since technologies that people didn’t even know were lost are popping up one after another, it is only natural that they draw a lot of attention.
"Oh. This is fascinating as well. Does it go beyond mere drawings and actually apply Polymorph to reality?"
And Allfather, Kadir, took a great interest in "VTubers" among these.
It sounds a bit strange that he, who is praised as the Mage King, is completely engrossed in VTubers, but it was truly for purely research purposes.
"Look at the movement of these large breasts. Even a slight movement of the body makes them bounce wildly. Thus, it has a strong unrealistic aspect."
[...]
The Immortal King, Kazan, was momentarily left speechless upon hearing Kadir’s remark.
Generally, the deeper a mage’s realm becomes, and the more deeply they are fascinated by research, the stronger their eccentric temperament grows.
Of course, this did not mean "perverted" in a sexual sense, but rather referred to a professor’s unique passion for inquiry.This chapter is updated first at novelping.com.
The problem was that because the technology Kadir was currently researching was what it was, it gave birth to a bizarre situation.
"But it is strange. I understand that Polymorph is a magic commonly used by dragons."
Kadir expressed his doubt while gently stroking his beard.
From ancient times, Polymorph was the exclusive domain of dragons in the Mythological Age.
A magic used to transform into an ordinary human to enjoy what was called "Amusement."
Because of this, ancient records showed that some humans fell in love with polymorphed dragons and bore descendants.
’And after they were defeated in the war against the gods, their descendants were also exiled to the Forest of the Four Seasons.’
Those descendants were speculated to be Tyranno’s biological mother—namely, Vanir.
However, Vanir was closer to a "pureblood" rather than a hybrid, and there were more than a few suspicious aspects in many ways.
Putting his doubts aside for a moment, Kadir became completely engrossed in Polymorph research through various records from the Gallery.
"Hmm... It seems a special device is required. Moreover, only the videos shown to us look like this; in reality, they are just ordinary people."
He stayed up for days and nights, rummaging through all kinds of records.
Then, he realized that the records were "classified" just like Starlight Lady, Selena, but he brushed this off lightly.
Rather, because he realized this, it was very easy to find knowledge related to VTubers.
[Allfather: Grylls-nim? Excuse me, but would it be alright if I asked you a question?]
[Wild Grylls: Yes. It’s fine. What is your question?]
[Allfather: (Roughly a pretty VTuber video) I found something like this, and I am curious if you know the detailed principles behind it.]
[Wild Grylls: Of all things, you had to find this;;]
[Allfather: It seems to be a magic familiar to you as well, Grylls-nim.]
[Wild Grylls: Yes. Well... it’s because many people used it in the era I lived in.]
For things he truly did not know, he asked Grylls.
Aside from replying that he didn’t know much either, Grylls kindly explained it, giving Kadir great inspiration.
’Looking at this, this man Grylls also possesses a lot of knowledge.’
Should I say he has a surprisingly good memory?
Excluding the memories forcibly lost due to Aris, he had quite a lot of miscellaneous knowledge.
Of course, quite apart from that, he was completely hopeless at magic.
Since then, Kadir searched for all kinds of records, whether in reality or in the Gallery.
If he had his way, he wanted to obtain knowledge from Grylls, and furthermore, from the dragon communicating with him.
’He won’t tolerate that far.’
Furthermore, his pride as a mage would not allow it.
There was an answer sheet if he just flipped to the back page, but where was the fun in that?
Treating failure as data was a basic principle, and so his passion burned even hotter.
"Let’s see... A special device is required? Then I can just make it myself."
His knowledge as the Mage King began to be fully mobilized.
Kadir first crafted a crystal ball to project the "avatar."
Normally, crafting a crystal ball took at least a day, but who was he?
He could easily craft such a thing, and he had plenty of budget and time.
"Pardon? You need a head statue?"
"Indeed. If possible, I would like a statue with clearly defined facial features."
"Obtaining one is not difficult, but... understood for now."
Combining this with the supreme power of the Magic Tower, he did not arouse suspicion from others.
Since Kadir was always conducting all kinds of eccentric experiments, those around him didn’t suspect a thing.
Even if a massive explosion occurred, it was daily routine for them to just shrug it off.
[What are you doing?]
"It is to adjust the movements of the facial muscles and features more precisely."
[I am nothing but bones, though?]
"It matters not. This is merely an experiment, after all."
After attaching special patches to various parts of Kazan’s face, he finally activated the crystal ball, and that was it.
However, there was a difference here from a VTuber or an avatar.
It was projected into "reality," not just visible in recorded videos.
Since it was the first stage of Polymorph, the operable space was limited, but it didn’t matter.
Uuuung!
Before long, a pure white light shimmered in the crystal ball.
Beonjjeok!
Soon, a brilliant flash filled the interior of Kadir’s laboratory.
Even Kadir squeezed his eyes shut at the flash that exceeded his expectations, but he was more curious about the experimental results.
At this, he gently opened his temporarily dimmed eyes and checked Kazan’s current state.
"...Oh! Ohhh!"
[It seems I have changed.]This chapter was taken from novelрing.com without permission.
Kazan realized he had changed upon seeing Kadir’s reaction.
It was just that he couldn’t look around since only his head was left.
In the meantime, Kadir personally brought over a mirror so Kazan wouldn’t be bored.
"Look at this. This is your face."
[...]
Kazan stared blankly at his reflection in the mirror.
A shape that looked exactly like a copy of the head statue. That wasn’t all.
[You are committing a truly amusing act.]
"Ohhh! Do you see even the mouth moving? Even the facial muscles are moving!"
Just as Kadir admired, the movements of the facial features and even the motion of the facial muscles were excellently expressed.
This could not be called simple illusion magic, because illusion magic was ultimately only capable of "designated movements."
However, this Polymorph was moving in real-time, so it was on a completely different level.
"Since the statue is finished, it is time to move on to the next step. My friend."
[Speak.]
"What kind of face do you want? To be honest, your face from when you were alive was ugly."
[...]
The Immortal King, Kazan, felt as if his breath was choked up.
For a moment, from his chest... Ah. He didn’t have anything below his neck.
All kinds of ominous feelings surged from within his soul.
[We desire a normal countenance.]
"Hmm. No. It would be better to base it on what I found in the Gallery."
[If you were going to do that, why did you ask for my opinion?]
"Isn’t it better to at least pretend to ask?"
He sincerely felt a growing urge to punch him.
But apart from that, his anxiety could only rise in real-time.
How much time had passed like that? Kadir spoke to him.
"I posted on the Gallery. Go ahead and check it."
Hearing his words, he immediately checked the Gallery. Soon, he checked his recently written post.
Title) No Title
Allfather
(Roughly a video of a VTuber with an outstanding body)
That was enough to make Kazan squeeze his eyes shut.
[Kill me.]
"After I finish this."
[You devilish bastard. Go read the comment I posted.]
The only way he could rebel right now was...
ㄴ Necromancy is Love) (Is that the best you could come up with...! Photo)
ㄴ Hahaha
ㄴ Seriously, every time I see it, the expression is so violent lol.
ㄴ So funny lol. It was just posting a photo found while exploring the Gallery.
"Oh? This isn’t bad either. Unlike what I found, this was the real thing."
[...]
It seemed he had gotten involved with the wrong person.
While Kadir was fully absorbed in reproducing Polymorph, time flowed aimlessly.
Grylls spent a normal winter in preparation for the winter season, and others also went about their respective business.
And among them, there was one person who was the busiest (?).
"Hey. Gareth. Is there no more alcohol?"
"You can’t drink any more. I have to take this with me."
"Aww... What a shame. Did you say you’re leaving first thing tomorrow?"
"That’s right."
"Are you taking snacks too?"
"I’m not sure about that."
It was Passing Dwarf, Gareth, who would be departing for God’s Brewery first thing tomorrow.
"I heard the Hero is visiting too, I wonder how it’ll turn out."
"If the Hero has any sense, she would have brought alcohol from the Holy Kingdom, right?"
"I heard the Hero doesn’t really drink."
It was an extremely dwarven conversation.
