Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Chapter 611

Selection Ceremony (3)

“The following are artisans who participated in the selection ceremony on the recommendation of Commissioner Langmuir.”

An employee who walked around the stadium and guided the artisans through the results said.

“The name recorded on the family register is Lyman. After being away for a few years, you recently returned to the studio and resumed business.”

The judges who had followed the guide all the way around were whispering among themselves as if they had remembered Lennok’s face.

“It’s the same friend who used to work with other artisans earlier.”

“He seems to be a master craftsman who is very sensitive, and I look forward to seeing the results.”

“Then, where should we start with production? Lyman, can you explain what you made?”

“It is a mechanical wing made by delicately implementing the joints.”

Lennok replied with a calm expression.

“It may be difficult to attach to the human body, but it will be effective if it is connected to the nervous system of a bird that has lost its wings.”

Gileon’s ironclad wings. A mechanical wing in the form of a model made by simply copying its external structure.

As long as he remembered the shape and structure, he was able to manage to produce results with the metallurgy of other artisans.

Of course, rather than artifacts or usable equipment like Gileon’s wings, it was only to the extent that it could act as a bird’s artificial body.

In fact, the reaction of the judges was lukewarm, just like Lennok’s idea.

“Hmm, the structural design is very reasonable.”

“The idea of ​​replacing bird wings is unique, but the practicality is not so great.”

“I admit that I did my best. Shall we move on to renovations and maintenance?”

On the contrary, Lennok was slightly surprised that the evaluation was not harsher than he thought.

However, Lennok realized it belatedly when he saw that the judges’ eyes turned sharply.

They, too, were aware to some extent that as a craftsman, Lenok’s specialty was not in production.

Aside from the field of production, did you intend to strictly evaluate the results of the modification and maintenance field submitted as a real specialty?

While Lennok was lost in his thoughts, one of the meisters approached and lifted another object from Lennok’s workbench.

“What is this?”

A metal ball small enough to fit in one hand. Smaller than the size of a fist, slightly larger than the human eye.

A number of Meisters started to express different opinions about it.

“There was nothing like this among the equipment presented at the selection ceremony. It’s not maintenance, it’s the result of remodeling.”

“The appearance itself is not a very desirable shape. A sphere that is too perfect actually needs a stand when stored.”

“Even if I pour magic power into it, it doesn’t respond. Is this something that needs a specific trigger?”

Lennok responded calmly to the Meisters’ questions without panicking.

“It’s a filter.”

“… … You mean the filter?”

At Lennok’s words, the judges’ eyes inadvertently turned back.

Coincidentally, just before Lennok’s turn, it was the filter that the judged artisan selected as the submission for the maintenance section.

And the filter maintained by the artisan was in the shape of a jar the size of a moving truck.

The craftsman asked, looking at the filter the size of a house and the small metal sphere he held in his hand.

“You’re not going to say that that filter and this iron ball are the same thing, are you?”

“Please explain the purpose accurately. Did you choose something like a filter maintained by that craftsman?”

“That’s right.”

Lennok nodded.

“Considering the field of seawater power generation, which is responsible for a considerable part of Machina’s power supply, we tried to miniaturize the filter for seawater.”

“Miniaturization, miniaturization… … .”

One of the craftsmen who laughed while holding the sphere said.

“I’d like to see a demonstration first, is that okay?”

“I will prepare.”

The artisans exchanged glances as they watched Lennok start pouring water into the drip tray placed at the back of the workbench.

“… … I guess we got it wrong.”

“Did I expect too much?”

“Miniaturization of filters, why such reckless work… … ?”

Most of the equipment used for horsepower supply, such as filters for seawater, are used in large-scale facilities such as factories.

As much as it has to withstand the horsepower overload that occurs during the filtering process, it is important to make the design itself rough but sturdy.

Of course, if the filter can be miniaturized and used, it should be possible to recycle it in various fields.

It is almost certain that the stability and durability of the equipment will be somewhat reduced in the process of miniaturization.

Commissioner Brahms, who was standing next to him, noticed the reaction of the Meisters like a ghost and added his opinion.

“Choosing the same filter as the output doesn’t seem like such a good intention. Don’t other artisans feel the same way?”

“… … .”

Of course, since the artisan who selected and submitted the filter just before was the artisan of the Steel Heart faction, Brahms also did not want to miss the opportunity.

Among the members of Ex Machina who participated as judges, there were members of Machine Head and War Hammer, but rather than paying attention to Brahms’ check, they were concerned about the possibility of miniaturization of the filter.

In the end, it is up to the meisters to decide the final score in this selection ceremony, and the criterion for that will be the skill of the artisan, not which faction he belongs to.

Even though Brahms was aware of this, he did not give up and continued talking.

“Think about it. Regardless of whether the filter is miniaturized or not, how can it be that its stability is questioned… … !!”

But the moment Lennok poured the water and tossed the metal sphere into the gutter, Brahms had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

damn… … !!

It was because the metal sphere, which rapidly expanded while drinking water, turned into a huge pot-shaped filter on the spot, as if air was being blown into a weak tube.

Only then did the artisans mutter, realizing how Lenok had modified and miniaturized the filter.

“Did you build the shape of the filter using an alloy that absorbs moisture and expands… … .”

“Right. If this is the case, if only the filter and membrane used in the filter are replaced periodically, transportation will not be too difficult.”

“But the problem lies elsewhere.”

The artisans looked back at Lennok and looked at him with sharp eyes.

“Among the alloys used in the machine city, Makina, there is no such thing as an alloy that absorbs moisture and expands.”

“… … .”

“It is strictly forbidden to use materials other than those given in this selection ceremony. Where the hell did you get this metal from?”

Meisters did not lose sight of the essence of how Lenok miniaturized the filter, bound by the rules of the selection ceremony.

On the spot, he confirmed the expansion speed and direction of the metal with his naked eyes, and realized that it was an alloy that was not in this selection formula.

Should I say that it is like a craftsman to understand the principle first and then investigate the cause?

Lennok thought so and replied calmly.

“I made it.”

“… … You made it?”

“Considering that I had to make and use the tools myself, I thought that making the alloy needed for remodeling myself was not against the rules either.”

“… … .”

One of the meisters who exchanged glances with a look of astonishment asked.

“I’m sure you know that alloys aren’t so easy to make.”

“you’re right. It is also close to impossible to make the metal expand by adding moisture and to adjust it in the desired direction.”

said Lennok, glancing back at the filter he had made.

“However, it is not completely impossible if you set the limit so that it expands only to the basic shape of the filter, and adjust the properties of the metal.”

“It’s an alloy that only transforms into the shape of a filter and expands… … .”

It was only then that the artisans who finally understood the meaning correctly nodded their heads with stiff complexions.

“It is no longer the realm of metallurgy or alteration technology. In a way, it can’t even be called an alloy. Do you know about this?”

“… … .”

It was not wrong.

A metal that expands by absorbing moisture, forcibly created by Lennok to miniaturize the filter.

As the artisans said, this was not metallurgy, but an expedient substance made using Lennok’s alchemy.

Although it was made by mixing different metals, it may not be able to be called an alloy after all, as it has lost much of the metal’s properties through the use of alchemy.

In the first place, the fact that it absorbs moisture and expands itself is far from the previously defined concept of metal.

But even knowing that, Lennok didn’t hesitate to use alchemy to make submissions for the alteration category.

Although he made a non-metal substance by combining metals, he was confident that he could give a stronger impression to the judges who are looking for special talent.

As expected, some of the judges approached with clearly changed eyes and started touching the alloy used in the filters.

“I recognized Fordring and guessed it from the moment I touched it, but you are an excellent craftsman with the sense of mana handling with your hands.”

“I created a new material with the restriction that it only changes to the shape of the filter, so this is proof that I understand the concept of Geas correctly innately.”

said the father-in-law, who looked like a young bespectacled man, looking back at Lennok with a benevolent look.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a craftsman with such a special talent.”

“There must be a reason that Executor Isabella brought you here yourself. As far as I remember, Clark… … .”

“Uh huh… … !! Isn’t that what we’re talking about here?”

“Metallurgy seems a bit lacking, but if you teach it well, you can become a friend who can make really special things.”

“If I’m chosen at the selection ceremony, I’d like to teach him as my apprentice for a while.”

“Take order, Marlon. This guy says he needs to fix his metallurgy first.”

As if there was no need to see more, some meisters chatted in front of the filter instead of looking around at the other artisans.

Among them were a few meisters from other factions, who at first seemed uninterested in Lennok.

“Uh, uh… … .”

Brahms, who had been listening to the artisans praising Lennok with his face flushed, hurriedly turned around.

“Everyone is so impatient that I haven’t checked the submissions in the maintenance field yet. Isn’t it too early to make an assessment?”

“Ah, not really.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a craftsman with such a unique metal combination talent.”

“First, Lyman, I’d like to check the gear you’ve chosen for your maintenance section-”

Saying that, the Meisters turned their heads and suddenly found an old musket on the workbench and put on a breathless expression.

Equipment that had no name or scorecard attached to it, but was abandoned without anyone’s attention.

It was an item that Lennok had personally airlifted from the last display case with the help of an old man.

But from the moment Lennok pulled out his musket, none of the judges standing around him spoke.

“… … .”

“This… … .”

“Um… … .”

As if the friendly atmosphere just before was a lie, the judges stiffened with their eyes wide open.

Even the artisans who looked at the shape of the musket gun not with interest, but rather with a look of wariness.

Even Brahms, who was somehow holding Lennok in check, stopped with a look of bewilderment when he saw the musket.

The other artisans who watched Lennok’s screening process with envying glances around them also realized something was wrong and looked away.

The silence that spread around Lennok’s workbench engulfed the surroundings and soon filled the entire stadium with silence.

“It’s one of the artifacts I put on display in the last display case.”

Among them, one of the Meisters who had been standing at the back of the party without saying a word until now quietly stepped forward.

“I don’t know most of the artisans who participated in this selection ceremony, but most Meisters are relic-level artifacts that they’ve already touched at least once.”

“… … .”

“Most of the meisters selected at the selection ceremony tried their hand at servicing this artifact, but none of them succeeded. Do you know why?”

The craftsman’s eyes shone sharply.

“Because this artifact is not made with technology and parts from this world.”

I knew.

Those countless artifacts whose names were unknown that were displayed without any explanation in the last showcase.

They are not simply objects that were put on display because they thought they would be difficult to fix.

An object whose dimensions are completely different from the artifacts that were completed with magical power and intentions.

It is often called a relic of the old world, and it is a trace of destruction that has passed through a huge cycle once.

“Do you know what it means to try to fix it with your own hands?”

“… … .”

“Repairing equipment is always accompanied by the possibility of making it worse than it was before. If you fail to fix this artifact, and instead make it worse, you will take the blame alone.”

Could this be the reason why the relatively small number of artisans who want to stand out in the field of maintenance are relatively small?

But Lennok nodded without hesitation even knowing that fact.

“Can I listen to the story after the demonstration?”

“… … good. If you have that much confidence.”

Even Meisters, who had never been interested in Lennok, came forward and warned him, but Lennok was not so much agitated.

Lennok already knew where these muskets came from.

With the help of the old man and the ability of the Penterect, an artifact from the old world found in the final display case of the selection ceremony.

But Lennok was aware of this even before his father-in-law explained it to him.

The fact that this artifact is a relic of the old world.

And even the fact that this gun is an exclusive equipment used for a specific occupational group called the Horse Musketeer.

In the second large-scale update of the game that Lennok enjoyed, the highest-grade item he had ever used as a horse musketeer.

The world of WORLD 2.0. A horse gun that was treated as a top-notch item that he, who was enjoying the game as a horse musketeer, must have acquired at least once.

The musket the old man had just mentioned was, among other things, equipment used by horse musketeers in the old world.
