Nick 18 is a golem.

It was named after nickel, since its main material was 5? nickel steel.

Of course, it was named by Jin.

Nick 18 had 19 brothers. In other words, Jin made 20 at the same time.

This was in the year 3457.

When he visited Alban, the capital of the Kingdom of Klein with Erza and Hannah, he met Princess Rieschen by chance, and for various reasons, she asked him to make 100 steel swords and 20 general-purpose golems. She asked me to make 100 steel swords and 20 general-purpose golems for her. (Chapter 10)

Ten of the twenty golems had been killed by a gigantopod that had appeared during mining operations at the Inado Mine, and Jin, outraged by the way they were treated, had taken them back. (Chapter 13)

Therefore, there are 10 brothers of Nick 18 who belong to the Klein Kingdom. The numbering is from Nick 11 to 20.

* * * * * * * *

Princess Rieschen's elder brother, the 2nd Prince Arthur, ascended to the throne of Klein Kingdom at the age of 31 and took the name Arthur I. Arthur I retired at the age of 61.

Arthur I abdicated at the age of 61 and handed the throne to his son.

The new king also abdicated at the age of 75 and handed the throne to the Dauphin.

The alternation of thrones continued, and in 3597, King Alois IV of the Kingdom of Klein abdicated at the age of 76, and the new king, Edmund III, took the throne at the age of 55. Edmond III ascended the throne at the age of 55.

The Dauphin of Edmond III was 35 years old at the time.

The Dauphin was a very wealthy man, and had two concubines in addition to the Queen, and had seven sons and eight daughters.

The eight girls were married in 3616, the year her father, the Dauphin, ascended the throne and took the name of Alois V, in the territory of Dalat.

As part of his father's consideration for his daughter who was going to marry far away from him, he brought along with him a golem, a national treasure, a general-purpose golem made by , a master magician. 18>>, a national treasure.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"Rhys, are you sure about this?"

Alois V asked his beloved daughter, Riesbert Fanus Klein.

"Father, I will not change my mind. I will follow you, Mr. Arnested."

"I see. ......"

Even though they had fifteen children, each one was different in character and appearance, and each one was lovely in his or her own way.

Princess Rysveld was the youngest, and Alois V was especially fond of her.

"I am the fifteenth in line to the throne, and since I have older brothers and sisters, I am not famous.

"I would say so, but ......"

This lively and intelligent princess, who will turn 16 this year, has fallen in love with a young man from the frontier far to the west.

"Father, ......"

"Uh-uh, uh-uh, I can't help it. ......"

Finally Alois V broke down and allowed his beloved daughter to marry a young man from the western frontier, ...... Arnested de Rozza.

The De Rozza family was the lords of Dalat, and later the royal family of the Dukes of Dalat.

* * * * * * * *

The journey from the Kingdom of Klein, near the eastern end of the Laurentian continent, to the territory of Dalat, at the western end, was long and difficult.

Nevertheless, the was well governed and there were few dangers along the way, and the southern coastline of Mitsho had well-developed roads and towns, so we did not feel much hardship, although it took us a long time.

However, however, there was a problem.

From the western edge of Mitskho to the territory of Dalat, there are more than 1,200 kilometers of unexplored land (except for the Horai Island area).

The journey was quite tough.

Although there were warp gates or magic circles installed long ago, Arnested de Rozza did not use them, preferring to see the journey with his own eyes.

His wife, Liesbert Fanus Klein or Liesbert Fanus de Rozza, also accepted.

As newlyweds, it was a joy for them to overcome difficulties together.

Needless to say, Nick 18 was of great help along the way.

Of course, they were accompanied by four guards.

But with Nick 18 to protect them from vermin, clear the road less traveled, catch small animals for food, keep them watered, and stand sentinel ...... at night, their journey would have been more difficult without him. .

"Nick, we're so glad you were there. Thank you."

"Yes princess, I'm honored."

"I wish I could have met the MagiCraftsman ...... or MagiCraftsMeister who made a golem like yours.

"I'm sure my creator will be pleased to hear that,......."

"Hmm, that's a great response, you really are a great golem."

As a matter of fact, Jin had provided aftercare for Nick and the others in the Klein Kingdom several times, so his speech and behavior were more refined than when he created them.

They returned home safely and lived ...... happily ...... for a long time, although there were some small troubles.

Nick 18 became the treasure of the family of the Lords and later of the Dukes and Duchess Riesvelt ...... watched over the descendants of the Queen.

* * * *

Sadly, however, the Duchy of Dalat lacked a good magical engineer.

Even though it was a general-purpose golem made by Jin, it was not designed for Horai Island, so it was not completely maintenance-free.

In addition, due to the location of the country, it was sometimes subjected to severe use.

These defects accumulated, and finally Nick 18 malfunctioned.

That was in the year 3765. Coincidentally, it was the year that Reiko and Horaijima were sealed off to escape the offensive of <> and the <>.

* * * *

That's how we got to where we are now.

"I see."

Jin, who had repaired Nick 18, had heard a brief history of the project.

"The creator repaired it, and now it works again. I can't thank you enough.

"Well, if you feel that way, keep working for the peace of the people of this country.

"Yes, sir, I will."

And so it was that Nick 18 was assigned to guard at the side of the King.

Nick 18 was assigned to guard at the King's side.

Nick, I'll need you to escort me.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Gilberto de Dalat, the current King, favored Nick.

Nick also served this blonde-haired, blue-eyed prince well, just like Princess Rysveld.

Once, when he was on a pilgrimage, the road caved in and was impassable,

"Leave it to me."

Nick18 carried rocks and piled up stones and backfilled the road with earth and ...... it was restored in a couple of hours.

"That's great, you're doing a great job."

Gilberto de Dalat, the king of the city, praised him,

No, I am nothing compared to my brothers and sisters under the Creator.

Hearing him say this with such humility, he was struck with wonder at how powerful ...... the golem of the Magecraft Meister, the Magical Engineer, could be.

In any case, Nick 18 is a treasure of the Duchy of Dalat, and has been used by the kings of the Duchy for generations.
