Chapter 340: Amor Ex Machina

Chapter 340: Amor Ex Machina

Then, since I had come to Elixir Lapis at the last minute, I decided to look around the town. At that time, Newton-san told me something that bothered me.

"Don't leave the town. It's quite dangerous"

"...What kind of monsters are out there?"

"Ah...not a monster?"

"I'm sure it's similar..."

Dangerous things that aren't monsters? Ha!? N, No way...

"You don't mean that there are runaway machines roaming around, do you?"

""...""

Don't look away! Worldly greats there!

"Well, rest assured they won't come to town"

Do I feel safe? At any rate, I walk out of Einstein-san's lab and look at the streets of Elixir Lapis. Apparently, the town consisted of European architecture and factories.

Looking around the stores, I could see that they were focusing on medicines and items. But it was terrible.

Level-up potions?

A potion that might raise your level if you could drink it all.

It costs 150G. Can I try it? The price is so low that it seems like a good deal. But I'll make it clear...I'm not buying! Incidentally, there were other similar medicines sold that increase strength.

The items are more decent than the pills. As the shipwright said, there were a lot of magic engines, but some of them were like this.

Small Magic Engine: Important Item

A small magic engine that coughs a lot but has horsepower.

When it coughs, it has a problem...what a character of this town.

In case you're wondering, just walking around town, you can hear explosions coming from everywhere. I asked a shopkeeper.

"It's probably someone experimenting or inventing something that's going wrong. It happens all the time in this country"

I was told that. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I don't care.

"Older brother~!!"

"I, I can't stop~!? Guhaa!?"

I thought I heard a voice like the one I heard earlier, but it was just my imagination. Yup.

As I was going around, there was naturally something that caught my attention. That's this one.

Magic Paper-making Machine: Important Item

A machine that produces paper from wood pulp. The type of paper produced varies depending on the type of wood pulp.

Steel Ore: Rarity 6, Material, Quality C

Steel ore. A different material from steel made from iron sand. It is mainly used for weapons and machine parts. A material that is almost indispensable for magic machines.

These were purchased. I did not expect to be able to obtain a machine for manufacturing paper and the steel ore I wanted. The explanation makes sense, though. At any rate, the conditions for Ix's evolution are now in place. If I had talked to Elixir Lapis earlier, I might have been able to evolve Ix earlier.

The rest of the time, I contacted Saba Can and visited their guild. I really needed to talk to them about something.

"It's been a while"

"Takuto-san! Long time no see! Please come in"

When I visited him, I found many magic items that I had seen in town. That was enough to show their love for robots.

"What's wrong?"

"I was actually talking to Einstein and Newton earlier and they told me some interesting things. I thought I should tell you in person"

...Huh?

Well, that's what you get when you hear Einstein and Newton.

"First of all, do you know what an automaton is?"

"No. Is it in this world!?"

"There is. I've seen the real thing. It looked like a walking mannequin doll"

Hearing this, the people of Robot Research get excited.

And there is one more thing.

"Golems and colossuses were made by alchemists and researchers in the past"

"That means we can make them too!"

Yes. This time it totally implied it. Then I will still have to tell them.

"The alchemy guild is obvious, but you should talk to the researchers. This country is full of great people. Just the ones I've met include Edison, the Wright Brothers and Nobel"nove(l)bi(n.)com

"That's...I'll do some serious information gathering. Because if there are that many great people, there's a good chance there's something going on"

I still think so...I'll give a shout out to the guys at Robot Research and head back to Liebling.

After that, I head to the battleship and do Ixs evolution.

First, I make an amor heart. Put in an amor core and steel ore to create the amor heart.

Amor Heart: Exclusive item for Ex Machina

Evolutionary item for ex machina. It can evolve into Amor Ex Machina.

Then, replace the core of Ix with Amor Heart. Before that, I will check.

"...Are you ready?"

"Yes. I heard Master's resolution earlier. Then I will only answer Master's determination. Please do so. My Master"

I remove the core of Ix and insert the amor heart. Then the core entrance closes and evolution begins.
