Chapter 84: Pondering over Titan’s body

Taking mini Titan back to Volton, I analyzed its core and my thoughts on it are two words.

「Mhmm. Absolutely impossible.」

Titan’s core is a softball sized magic crystal compactly drawn with layered type magic circle. I was able to analyze a part of it, but understanding its entirety would probably take 100-200 years. At any rate, a full copy was impossible. Maybe because it’s the core of an independent intelligent lifeform capable of thoughts, that should have been as obvious as obvious can get.

「Master, I wanna be able to talk to Titan-chan!」

「Talk, huh~ It will be hard but I’ll think of something.」

「Yaaay! Thank you, Master!」

After saying so, Kaede ran to mini Titan.

「Takumi-sama, is it possible to transfer the core?」

「Yeah, that’s actually not that difficult. Let’s take Titan for instance, stone was the suitable material in its surroundings, but if there was plenty of iron then it would have built a body out of iron.」

The superiority of Titan’s core was apparent even when it changed to mini Titan, despite it not choosing its body’s materials. Moreover, it has complete control in its body’s size and is able to change it of its own free will.

When I compare it to the cores I’ve made, Titan’s core can already be called a life-form.

「Reading and understanding even just a tiny portion of the magic circle in Titan-chan’s core is already difficult.」

Laeva groaned as she stared at my sketch of a small portion of complex magic circle in Titan’s core from when I had analyzed it.

「Can’t help it. What I was able to analyze was just a small portion of it, but even then, it was already this complex.」

「And so, what kind of body does Titan want?」Alll latest novels on novelbin/(.)com

「Hmm, about that............」

As Sophia asked, what Titan wished of me is a truly a highly difficult request.

What it wants is, first, a body slightly larger than the current mini Titan. And a 2.5 m to 3 m large Titan body that the mini Titan can dock itself into.

「If it’s Titan, maybe skill acquisition is also possible if it trains. The sword and halberd are good too, after all.」

「Other than that, if Titan has a large shield, it would be the best Tank.」

A large shield might be acceptable. If Jumbo Titan is equipped with a large shield, it can probably guard everyone.

「A mace and a large shield then. I’ll give things like swords and halberds[2] some thought」

「We’ll have the Papeck Company prepare mithril and adamantite ores, yes?」

「Yep, I’ll have Laeva help with the refinement, after all.」

「Yes, I will prepare the transmutation circles.」

Laeva said so then began preparing the transmutation circles. Sophia went out to make an order at the Papeck Company.

「I want to try going to a mineral dungeon. There might even be orichalcum inside treasure chests, you know?」

Maria has an interest in dungeons. I am the same. Dungeons are a mysterious space in this world. A mysterious place where monsters lurk and treasure boxes appear. Dungeon monsters leave magic stones and materials like those talked about in games and novels.

「Orichalcum, huh. Will the current me be able to work with it?」

「If it’s Takumi-sama, then it will be all right! I don’t think there’s anyone else that can work with orichalcum besides Takumi-sama.」

「Nah, you’re exaggerating. Though, I’m also interested in dungeons. I hear you can get a hold of different of materials, so let’s go once things have settled down a bit more.」

「Really?! Then I will look for information about every place with dungeons!」

Maria said so and ran out.

「............ I said once things calm down though.」

It seems we’ve decided to go to a dungeon. I set to work revising the blueprints of Titan’s body.
