Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 606
Suspicious Engineer (4)
Canceled… … !!
The magic that flowed down like a burning flame in the air converged to a single point as if rotating counterclockwise.
The magical energy gathered in one place turned into a huge sphere of light and at the same time brightened up the workshop.
It wasn’t just the magic power converging at one point, it was the figure that floated right on top of the artifact Isabella was holding.
Woooooo!!
A strange figure in which a huge sphere of light rotates inside the four-pronged blade spread out like an umbrella.
Magical energy falls from the surface of the sphere of light as if it is melting, and slowly begins to permeate into the artifact.
Faaaaaa!!
The scene where Isabella’s own magical power began to grow in size little by little on the spot.
Isabella and Ujat stare blankly at the artifact they are holding, unable to speak.
“We took out the parts that cause frequent breakdowns of the amplifier and changed the built-in amplifier function to an external form.”
Lennok said as he slowly pulled the sword pointed at his neck.
“Looks like it’s working fine.”
“This…It’s impossible.”
Those were the first words Isabella uttered.
“I don’t know if it’s an artifact created by externally implementing a function from the beginning, but how can a function already designed as an internal operation…!!”
If it is an artifact that simply manipulates and releases magical power, it is not strange that the function is manifested outside the artifact.
However, how can a function designed to amplify magical power inside an artifact through internal parts and circuit design work normally even after taking it out?
Would this be the kind of surprise you would feel if you made the light of a flashlight materialize not inside the light bulb but in the air above the light bulb?
It is not a level that violates the existing common sense, but a level of modification that completely overturns the basics of magical engineering that has existed so far.
However, instead of answering Isabella’s words, Lennok reached out his hand again toward the amplifier she was holding.
“If normal operation has been confirmed, could you return it? We need to finish the fine-tuning now.”
“…Can I hear an explanation?”
Isabella quietly stops working and calmly hands over the amplifier back to Lennok.
Ujat was speechless as well, watching Lennok work.
Lennok, who connected a wire to the workbench and charged it with magic, said while fiddling with the artifact.
“The parts designed by Craftsman Clark Lenslett are so sophisticated and complex that even if they were repaired in the same way as he was, they would have broken again someday.”
“….”
“I wouldn’t be in this workshop every time something breaks, and you wouldn’t want to go that far and ask me to fix it.”
Slightly changing the direction of the cogs, breaking through and blocking several circuits, forcibly adjusts the flow of mana to be expressed.
“In that case, I thought it would be much more efficient to imitate the magical flow of an already completed artifact and remodel it to be the same externally.”
“How on earth is that even possible?”
Ujat casually asked a question, then bowed his head with a slight embarrassment.
“Ah, I’m really sorry for the rudeness I just had. I couldn’t imagine going beyond repairing artifacts and taking out the function itself as an external implementation… … .”
“The magic amplification ability itself is actually a technology that cannot be implemented very efficiently with the current magic engineering technology. Unless you use a large-scale magic power plant or particle accelerator, it is impossible to equip and use it.”
Lennok explained casually.
In the first place, the amplification of magical power is not something that can be done so easily, contrary to what is said.
Horsepower is considered one of the most basic and core power sources in this world, but increasing the total amount of power itself is against the law of equal productivity.
However, magical power is not a force that can be explained in the realm of physical laws or calculations, but there are so many variables that it can be greatly influenced by strong will, emotion, or special conditions or environments.
“The reason why an amplifying device with this level of efficiency could be miniaturized and carried. That’s because, in the first place, the artifact is made up of geas that work conditioned on being used by an individual named Isabella.”
“….”
“Using the power of Geass, the mana flow itself was forcibly bent so that it could be amplified. I just moved the end point of the magic flow created through that geas to the outside.”
Clark Lenslett probably couldn’t have easily dealt with Gias without paying anything.
It is a power that even Lennok was able to handle directly after digging into Gyebaek, who was born as a fallen ascendant through Gias.
Perhaps his strong feelings and will for his lover, Isabella, were put into this equipment under the condition of Gias.
Rumors that equipment crafted by artisans with all their heart become masterpieces that can never be recreated is not a rare legend even in this world.
“Even so, there is no doubt that it is unrealistic to completely transfer the artifact’s internal magical power flow to the outside.”
Isabella said in a subdued voice.
“The number of distributions of magic flow that Clark assumed while designing this equipment far exceeded 3000. It was not enough to capture and contemplate all those magical flows one by one, unless it was skill enough to deal with them almost simultaneously… … .”
It was the same even if the principle of the artifact itself was not altered, but only the magical flow was transferred to the outside.
It is impossible to make operation possible with the flow of magical power changed without understanding the flow of magical power inside the equipment more completely than the manufacturer and going through adjustments that go beyond it.
Isabella was also very clearly aware of what kind of miracle Lennok had performed through her artifact.
But Lennok nodded nonchalantly, knowing that she had somehow noticed it.
“You are lucky.”
“….”
At Lennok’s words, Isabella made eye contact with Uzat for a moment and nodded slowly.
Eventually, Ujat took out a very heavy piece of sack from the inside of his robe and placed it on the workbench.
coo!!
The sound of something falling that is so heavy to hear.
Even though he had been carrying this kind of thing for a while, he pulled out his sword without showing any signs of difficulty and even pressed Lennok.
Isabella said while Lennok raised his eyebrows slightly at the fact.
“It’s a gold bar that’s 10 times the payoff that was previously set.”
“…You mean gold bars?”
“The artisans I dealt with usually prefer things in kind to money.”
She carefully received the artifact that Lennok handed back to her, and looked up at Lennok.
“Thank you again for servicing the artifact and the music box.”
“It’s nice to be able to return it neatly.”
“Oh, I forgot, can I ask you one thing?”
Isabella asked as she prepared to leave with Ujat.
“As for the maintenance of the amplification device, it is now possible to take care of it without difficulty even if you entrust the work to another workshop….”
“As far as I know, the artisan who used this workshop was someone else.”
“….”
“I wonder if you know anything about why the owner changed in the meantime.”
Lennok quietly raised his gaze and stared at the backs of Isabella and Uzat, who had turned their backs.
He hurriedly prepared to leave at any moment, and didn’t seem to pay much attention to the conversation they had just had, but Lennok knew.
The fact that the two of them were paying full attention to the answer to the question Isabella had just asked.
Wasn’t it simply to repair the artifact that revealed the fact that he was also an executor?
Perhaps, depending on how Lennok answers here, someone’s fate and life may change.
Realizing that fact, Lennok answered quietly before it was too late.
“no. The owner of this workshop has not changed.”
“then?”
“I am just occupying and using the workshop without permission. They are just being rude without asking permission from the owner.”
“….”
“If it becomes a problem, I will receive full punishment. sorry.”
Lennok quietly confesses his wrongdoing without Isabella and Ujat saying anything.
If other people were watching this scene, it wouldn’t be strange if they wondered why they were confiding their faults to the customer in the first place.
However, Isabella and Uzat were not taken aback or puzzled by Lennok’s answer.
As if to some extent expecting to hear such an answer, he just shook his head with his back turned with a look that seemed natural.
“master. calm down. I didn’t ask that to reproach you.”
Uzat patted Lennok on the shoulder with a soft expression on his face.
Could it be because of the embarrassing memory of pushing the blade at Lennok as if he was half threatening him earlier?
“It doesn’t seem like it’s our business to interfere, so I hope you can resolve the issue of the studio’s license with the Mouser artisans. It is also absurd that a talented person like a craftsman cannot get a job because there is no workshop.”
“….”
The attitude of knowing about Mouser as if it were natural even though he hadn’t said a word about Mouser.
After all, they came to know that this workshop was in the name of Mouser, not Lenok, from the beginning.
In the process, he must have been suspicious of the fact that Lennok was an outsider from outside the Machine City and his close relationship with Mouser.
If Lennok hadn’t been honest about the unauthorized occupation of this workshop, or if he hadn’t successfully repaired the magic amplifier, it wouldn’t have looked good.
However, since both tasks have been met beyond their expectations, there are also opportunities to obtain them.
Isabella, as if she had read Lennok’s thoughts, turned to Ujat instead of immediately leaving the studio.
“No matter how much you think about it, the cost of repairing the artifact is a bit insufficient.”
“I am of the same opinion.”
“I didn’t think that remodeling the amplifier so perfectly would solve the problem. I wonder if I should pay a little more on this side.”
At Isabella’s calm reply, Lennok backed away and waved his hand.
“I don’t think there’s any reason to add personal opinions to a deal once done. My heart is grateful, but I would like to politely decline.”
“You may not know the artisan, but we are humans who live by eating the rust of the city.”
Ujat said with a smile.
“If you make a profit from a transaction needlessly, the book may be caught later. It is not something to be burdened with.”
“….”
Is it because the executive officer is also a position close to that of a civil servant in the Machine City?
It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand what they were saying at all, but Lennok had no desire to become involved with the bailiff right away.
Not only did he not get used to the work as a craftsman yet, but he also couldn’t properly obtain information about the room where Kaise was hiding.
In this situation, it would not be strange if Lenok’s poor disguised identity was exposed after being entangled with Makina’s leading investigative agency.
Here, it is rather beneficial to leave the enforcers with only good memories and get out of the way cleanly.
Having judged that, Lennok pretended to be relaxed and leaned against the workbench, trembling moderately.
“If you’re really bothered, I’d like to ask your acquaintances to tell you that this workshop is delicious.”
“Are you talking about rumors?”
“Since the two of you came all this way through an acquaintance, isn’t word of mouth important in a workshop like this?”
If the two are acquaintances, there must be many people with similar positions and skills.
If such people come and ask Lennok for equipment remodeling or maintenance and collect the price, it is in line with Lennok’s purpose.
Having a conversation like this and getting the information they know in return is also one of Lennok’s goals as a craftsman.
It is necessary to increase contact with the core elements of Machine City Machina as much as possible.
However, far from being taken aback by Lennok’s words, the two executioners exchanged glances as if they had waited and smiled strangely.
“…?”
As Lennok paused slightly at the reaction and shook his head quickly, Isabella pulled out a small business card from her bosom and held it out.
“While I was finally speaking, there is a place I would like to introduce to you.”
said Isabella, turning to Lennok in a nonchalant voice.
“In Machine City, a ceremony is held to regularly invite skilled artisans to compete and bestow them with glorious names.”
“…A ritual?”
“Meister.”
Isabella said quietly as if cutting off.
“Have you ever thought of wanting to have that name that is given only to the best artisans in Machine City?”
