The door on the east side of the aisle.

"This is ......."

It was a room that should have been a dumping site for the prototype golem.

"This is terrible. ......

A golem that appeared to be for combat use.

Among them were many of a type Arnold had never seen before.

And there was one golem that looked out of place ......, more for everyday chores than for general use.

"So 13 in all ......."

There were 12 golems for combat.

Nine of them were of a type known to Arnold, but the remaining three were of a type he had never seen before.

The known ones lacked arms and legs and did not seem to be able to move, but the remaining three were in one piece.

"I wonder if they were developed here?"

Arnold's engineer's spirit was stirred by this interesting discovery.

Let's check it out," he said, as he approached the fully-fledged Golem.

At that moment.

"!"

The golem for chores lifted its arm.

Arnold quickly jumps backwards to get away from it.

But it was not an attack.

In the golem's hands were two Magi Crystals.

"Are you asking me to accept them?"

Arnold's voice was heard, and the golem made a nodding gesture.

Arnold slowly approached the golem and received the magi crystal.

The moment the magi crystal left his hand, the golem collapsed and stopped moving.

"Has this golem for chores been waiting for a long time to give the Magi Crystal to someone?"

"Yes, perhaps, Master Arnold."

The other golems show no sign of moving. We can never be too careful.

So Arnold decided to leave the two Magi Crystals he had received with Chelle, and check out the golem for battle.

"Hmmm...... it's an endoskeletal golem...... mainframe is a known form, but more sophisticated....... It's more sophisticated than anything I know of."

"Too bad I can't spend more time on it, so I'll just have a quick look at it."

Please take the time to analyze it later.

"Yes, I will."

Following Chelle's advice, Arnold stopped analyzing the golem and resumed his investigation of the facility.

Since the room was empty except for the golem, he decided to look at the room on the other side of the corridor.

"Is this one ...... similar?"

"But this room is kind of ...... similar."

The room on the other side was also a golem warehouse.

The difference from the previous room is that all the golems in this room were of a form unknown to Arnold.

Also, half of the golems in the room were golems that did not look like combat golems.

"Five combat golems and five general-purpose golems, huh?

"Just by looking at them, you can tell that they are endoskeletons."

I guess so. ...... probably all .

In the middle of the Magic Wars, the <> was no longer used, as the emphasis in golem production became more and more on mass production.

"<> is better suited for mass production. ......"

It had the advantage of sharing the same skeleton and armor, and contributed to shortening the production period.

However, it seemed that all the golems on display here would be <>.

"No, <> is a universal type in a sense. But the combat golems here seem to be of the form <>...... or even <>."

From what Arnold could see, it seems that they are trying to reduce the number of parts and improve the fragility of the structure, even if it means narrowing the range of motion.

* * * * "Interesting.

"Interesting."

Through the vision of <>, Jin also saw what Arnold saw.

"The <> is smoother, more flexible, and easier to control. But it requires craftsmanship in its production and adjustment."

Jin muttered to himself, putting aside the fact that he was able to handle it so casually.

"That's a little different from the that was used in the before and is becoming more common in <>."

Jin felt that he did not want to call it .

"On the other hand, it's not the Adriana style <>, either."

He did not want to call it <>, because it is inferior in overall performance.

"<>...... is no good. <>...... hmmm ......"

"Father, if you can't think of a better way to call it, why don't you just call it <>?"

"<> or ......, I guess."

Since he was not too concerned about the name, he decided to use "<>" for now.

I see.

"I see, <>.

<.

"Well, that's a good name, but this is what we should pay attention to.

Arnold pointed at the battle golems.

"All of them are slightly different in size. They are 1.8 meters tall, 2 meters tall, 2.5 meters tall, 3 meters tall, 2.7 meters tall, and so on. 2.7 meters, and so on."

This is probably the result of a search for the optimum size, Arnold concluded.

"It's hard to say if bigger is stronger. If it's too big, it's too blunt. ......"

Arnold thought that the researchers here had decided that 2.7 meters was the optimum value.

* * * *

"Well, let's go to the next room."

Arnold and Chelle went to the room at the end of the corridor.

According to the floor plan on the wall of the hall where the transfer magic circle had been, this was the last room.

The door was unlocked and opened easily.

"Oh, it's the workshop after all..."

"Yes."

Or perhaps you could call it a laboratory.

There were six workbenches, and three of them were filled with magi-machines that were in the process of being built.

"Is this ......<?"

A cylinder, perhaps 30 centimeters in diameter, is attached to a rotating base.

It is about 60 centimeters long. If it is a gun barrel, it is short, Arnold thought.

"I wonder if this is a cannon too."

On another workbench was a cylinder about 10 cm in diameter and 1 meter long.

Of course, it has various accessories and looks like what Jin would have called a or a .

"I wonder if this is a weapon for a golem.

It is too heavy for a human to carry, Arnold thought.

And on the third workbench was a .......
