Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 617

Ex Machina (4)

“Relocated to a high-level workshop area... ... ?”

While Lennok and Mouser blinked at the unexpected notification, Narcissa, who was sitting across from the workbench, folded her arms and leaned back.

“This is not a fact that can be changed through negotiation or compromise as there is an emergency in the capacity itself. It has already been decided.”

“... ... .”

To the point where the workshop had to be forcibly relocated due to the weight of the barrier, did Makina strictly manage the number of people between each district to that extent?

Although I thought that crowds of people in Lennok’s studio might cause various aftermath, I never thought that the relocation of the studio would be promoted for this reason.

‘There is a reason to thoroughly observe the prescribed load in the district within the city... ... .’

In other words, it means that the barrier should not collapse due to more than necessary load.

Is it because what is hidden in the deepest part of the barrier that crosses the sky and the earth of the city?

“The problem is what region to send the relocated workshop to.”

Narcissa spoke again while Lennok was lost in thought.

“The mid-level workshop district where artisans who are building their positions gather, and the advanced workshop district where artisans who have already proven their skills gather. Even the exclusive workshop area that assists nobles.”

Narcissa’s cold eyes scrutinized Lennok.

“Considering the results of the selection ceremony, it has been decided to send him to the upper workshop district, but it has not been confirmed yet. Ex Machina is requesting a more stringent evaluation of candidates for relocation of workshops due to the issue.”

It was only then that Mouser, realizing why Narcissa was explaining this, opened her mouth with a slightly subdued gaze.

“And that means you’re in charge of deciding that, Narcissa.”

It wasn’t that he had come all the way to Lennok’s workshop to point out and evaluate all sorts of problems.

The fact that the workshop was relocated has already been confirmed.

And the one who had the authority to decide where to relocate the studio was the old woman in front of her, Nasisa.

“To be honest, your workshop management skills are not very good. It is completely below the standard in terms of the skills and management required for a craftsman to run a workshop. I’d like to send them to the intermediate workshop area to learn from the basics, but... ... .”

Narcissa looked at Lennok with a sharp gaze and said.

“Just seeing the fact that your brazier didn’t go out even after the selection ceremony ended, I’m giving you this opportunity now.”

“... ... .”

Did he even know that the furnace in the studio had never been turned off while Lenok was working as a craftsman?

His eyes are so sharp that he suddenly came and looked around with his hands behind his back.

It is an area of experience that cannot be obtained unless you are a seasoned artisan who has been running the studio for a longer period of time than Lennok.

Perhaps the old woman in front of me was also a craftsman with considerable skill, contrary to her nervous attitude on the outside.

Mouser, who was standing beside him, perhaps noticing Lennok’s feelings, reluctantly introduced Narcissa.

“Narcissa Solmer. As a member of Ex Machina, he is a manager who manages the upper workshop district, and he himself is a meister who stands out in the field of production.”

“Meister... ... .”

“I used to be an alumnus who was an apprentice under the same master as me.”

alumni

Lennok wasn’t too surprised by Mouser’s words.

It was clear that the two knew each other from the moment Narcissa first poured the bottle into Mouser’s face.

However, Narcissa only snorted at Mouser’s words, but did not greatly sympathize with him.

“Who was it that ruined the business by going out to open a workshop alone?”

“Um... ... .”

“It doesn’t matter if you spend the day drinking in a low-level workshop like this. I have business with this guy, not you.”

As Mouser was also chosen as a delegation representing the machine city and visited the Blaver Tower, he should have a tune to put forward, but he did

n’t seem to have any intention of pouring out an excuse in front of Narcissa right now.

He only scratched his head with a slight embarrassment and looked back at Lennok.

“What are you going to do?”

Lennok looked back at Mouser and asked again.

“Is there anything we can do?”

“what... ... yes. The issue of the capacity of the workshop district is an issue that Ex Machina takes extremely seriously.”

Mouser licked his lips and shrugged.

“However, the extent to which your studio will move may change depending on Narcissa’s judgment.”

Saying that, Lennok picked up a screwdriver lying next to the workbench.

“This pendant is designed to direct magical energy in a specific direction, eventually stimulating the red jewel located in the center. However, if the flow of magical power reaching the jewel is twisted, of course it won’t work.”

Even the soldiers surrounding the two seem to be listening carefully to Lennok’s words.

In the workshop, which had become quiet before I knew it, only Lennok’s voice resounded quietly.

“From the beginning, this pendant was not seriously damaged. However, the magical power flow, which should have been kept constant in the first place, was twisted due to the change in the position of the parts and stopped working.”

“... ... .”

“I think the original owner changed the position of the parts while servicing the artifact, and it must have been twisted out of control through the hands of many people.”

“... ... It is true that the owner of the artifact initially attempted to repair it himself.”

Narcissa asked with a hard expression, reluctantly agreeing with Lennok’s guess.

“But if each cogwheel came from a different origin, why didn’t the other artisans notice it?”

“It’s not like I didn’t notice.”

“what?”

“It’s not that the parts are so hidden that it’s hard to know the fact that they come from different manufacturers. I just didn’t think it was a problem.”

same standard. the same size. Same material and metal processing method. However, the only difference is that there is a difference of about 10 or more years in the manufacturing year.

It was a fact that even Lennok had only recently learned that the flow of magical power passing between parts subtly changes depending on the difference in time.

While researching after acquiring Kaise’s pocket watch, he realized why several parts were made and used by different companies.

The extremely minute movement of magical power is affected by the time of the objects flowing around it.

If the parts of this pendant were made at the same time, the magic flowing through the pendant would have flowed normally.

However, the subtle twists caused by the fact that some of the pendant’s parts were made much earlier than others.

What does it mean that the artifact is to the extent that it cannot function normally because of the twist?

“The maker of this pendant deliberately mixed parts from different manufacturing periods from the beginning.”

“... ... .”

“The subtle twists that happen through him... ... . I thought that the transformation of that magical power itself was a key principle for the artifact to work.”

While Lennok said that, he slowly took out the cogwheel parts with a screwdriver, disassembled them, and started assembling the pendant on the spot, changing the position of the parts again.

Although the appearance has not changed at all, the only thing that has changed is the direction in which the old gears are located.

“The principle of reproducing and constructing the concept of time by remembering and reflecting on it from the point of view of microscopic particles. Perhaps the original appearance of this pendant... ... .”

However, the moment Lennok poured magic power between the completed pendants.

The red jewel began to shine dazzlingly as magic power flowed through the gears that rotated rapidly in reverse.

Dig!!

At the same time as the gem emits its brilliance, hundreds of parts surrounding the gem begin to rotate and reassemble on the spot.

Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

A bizarre appearance, as if it reconstructs its own form in response to the magic of the gem with its own will.

On the workbench where Lennok removed his hand, the pendant’s parts instantly grew in size and reversed their shape and bent.

In the end, it changed into the shape of a sleek hammer that could be held with one hand.

“... ... .”

The center of the workshop where no one opens their mouth and quietly watches the scene.

Lennok slowly raised his hammer, stroked it lightly, and nodded.

“An artifact-level crafting tool. It’s also an auto-adjusting thing.”

The moment I lightly hit the old rifle lying right next to me with a hammer,

it’s charreuk!!

The parts that make up the hammer are reassembled once more on the spot, reducing their size and becoming sharper.

A relic-level artifact that scans the size and material of a stolen object once beaten and changes it into a crafting tool that is most suitable for maintenance on the spot.

Putting down the pendant, which changed its shape in an instant to the shape of a screwdriver suitable for servicing a rifle, said Lennok.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a production artifact that’s this sophisticated and convenient. ... .”

There is a saying that an excellent craftsman does not choose a tool, but it is actually meaningless to those who work at the forefront of the field.

For sensitive people whose abilities vary due to minor variables or conditions, the sense of stability and increased ability brought by adjusted equipment is an area that cannot be explained by theory.

After touching the pendant once, Lennok was convinced.

The creator of this artifact was undoubtedly a genius who reproduced the ability of an artifact from the old world with only the technology of this world.

“Can you say that this has satisfied the standard?”
