Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Chapter 614

Ex Machina(1)

“Lyman’s workshop was closed these days.”

“The owner there is quite an unusual person, so it was quite fun to leave the equipment and listen to his impressions. You posted a review, too.”

A few days after Lennok locked the studio door and devoted himself to remodeling new equipment.

Rumors that the studio, which had been a hot topic for a while, went on closure quickly spread.

Among them, there are quite a few customers who came with equipment to entrust to Lennok and swallowed their regrets when they saw the closed door.

“The door is closed, but the workshop furnace seems to be still running.”

“There are rumors that he is focusing on training in the closing ceremony after being pushed out of the selection ceremony.”

“… … You were a martial artist, not an engineer?”

“Anyway, it doesn’t look like he’s moved or quit, so let’s wait and see.”

“The workshop reservation app is already full. When will it be updated… … .”

It is late at night when passers-by grumbling and passing through the workshop district disappear one by one, and few passers-by pass by well past midnight.

Centering on Lennok’s workshop, dark shadows slowly rose from all over the workshop area and began to approach.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… … !!

In the darkness, a person approaching, gliding through the night streets, wrapped in a thicker darkness like clothes.

With faint green eyes shining, they quickly confirmed each other’s location.

[…] … .]

[…] … .]

They exchanged opinions without even saying a word, set the order and timing on the spot with hand gestures, and returned to their positions.

In the shadows, a thick gloved hand quietly opened the workshop’s locked door and carefully pushed it out.

Awesome… … .

Like someone flowing through a crack in a window, someone walking through a hole in a ventilation duct on the roof, and someone walking through a wall on the spot.

The shadows that entered the workshop in an instant began to look around the interior in silence.

[…] … .]

Unlike when I first opened the studio and started receiving customers, the scenery is chaotic with all kinds of mechanical parts close to junk piled up like a mountain.

Various production tools, including hammers, are hung on the wall as if they were on display in a melted or smashed state.

There was no noise from the shadows even among the scraps of parts and discarded mechanical equipment piled up so much that the workbench could not be seen.

As if the noise they made was sucked into the shadows, the silence where no reverberations were felt even though they were definitely there.

However, while the shadows had rather successfully infiltrated the studio, they began to be wary of their surroundings with a more nervous look.

A rustling noise suddenly resounded from behind the back of the shadow who slowly brought his hand to his waist.

“… … Ugh!!”

[…] … !!]

Immediately, the shadows took up their postures, each holding a different firearm from their waist and aiming in all directions.

Incredibly agile movements. There was a moderation that could not be hidden in the movement to split and share the border area in an instant.

[…] … .]

The figure of shadows moving at the same time as the shadow holding an assault rifle in the lead beckoned.

I turn around and turn around behind the mountain of rubbish where I heard the sound slowly.

The shadows split the location and number of people around the location where the noise was heard, appearing from three sides at the same time and aiming at the gun.

Clap!!

The first heavy sound of magazines rang out. However, the person whose gun was pointed right in front of him was not taken aback by the feeling of cold metal on his forehead.

“Ummm, Kuuul… … .”

He just licked his lips with an uncomfortable expression and tossed and turned with heavy breathing.

After checking the face of a middle-aged man with a shaggy beard, the shadow withdrew the muzzle.

[Who is it?]

[Mouser Blofeld. He is an artisan who has been living in the lower workshop district for a long time.]

The voices of the shadows belatedly exchanging information through each other’s communication network.

[I have never participated in the Meister selection ceremony, but I heard that I am recognized for my skills and know many artisans. He is a very strong person.]

[Officially, this workshop is also in his name. Circumstances, it’s not unusual for this person to be here… … The target seems to be away.]

[Should I wake him up and interrogate him?]

[no.]

A sharp voice immediately cut off the question of the communication network.

[There is no reason to make a fuss unnecessarily. this is not our goal It would be better to let it rest like this.]

[…] … .]

[No one has been in or out of the workshop for the past few days. Hiding inside, or escaping through a passage that is not revealed to the outside.]

The shadows slowly spread their distance with silent steps and began to examine the interior structure of the studio carefully.

In the thick darkness where you can’t even see an inch ahead.

Even in a workshop where the only source of light is the occasional embers in a burnt-out brazier, the shadows observe the darkness without much difficulty.

The green glow of the night vision goggles they wear pierces the darkness clearly, allowing them to see beyond what is invisible.

[There is no room for one person to hide. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary studio, but… … .]

[I’ll have to find the secret passage. I heard that there are cases where more sophisticated techniques and designs are employed in ordinary workshops like this.]

[The goal is a craftsman who specializes in remodeling technology. The possibility that the workshop itself was remodeled and made into a passage cannot be ruled out… … .]

The shadow that had been muttering so quickly raised its head and averted its gaze.

At the end of it is the back of another shadow carefully examining a corner of the room.

At the shadow’s sudden reaction, the others also paused their search and looked back at him.

[Team Leader. Is there a problem?]

[…] … I was shaken.]

[yes?]

[The tone of the communications network only briefly wavered when Brett spoke.]

[leader. Saying the name of a team member here… … !]

The moment the embarrassed shadows reached out to dissuade the leader.

The leader quickly pulled out a pistol from his waistband and shot the same shadow he called Brett in the head.

Taang!!

The sound of the blast that resonates coolly with no intention of hiding it any longer.

Brett’s head, who had his back turned, staggered greatly, and dark red blood dripped down.

[leader!!]

[What are you doing right now!!]

Seeing the action of the leader who suddenly shot and killed the same colleague, the shadows quickly spread their distance and put their hands on their waists.

[Is it fragging… … !!]

“Kuuul, cool… … ”

The sight of Mouser licking his lips and not even thinking about waking up even though gunshots rang out right next to him.

The air between the shadows heats up with urgency, to the point that the carefree insensitivity feels awkward.

Looking at the shadows surrounding him in an instant and reaching for the gun, the leader nodded his head without panic.

[Look at Brett’s body. Don’t you know yet?]

[…] … .]

[He’s already late.]

Hearing those words, the other shadows turned their eyes toward the fallen shadow corpse and quietly swallowed their breaths.

Kwajik!

It was because the chest of Brett, who was wearing a colorless mechanical suit, was roughly scratched as if it had been scratched by a beast.

It was a gruesome sight, as if the heart had been slashed while still alive.

The blood that flowed from the wound on his chest, which had been ruthlessly slashed, was already half-hardened.

[Brett… … You’re dead. Blood coagulation is already in progress.]

[This is unusually fast even if you died right before. It’s from the beginning… … !!]

[okay. from the beginning.]

The leader, who was watching the shadows with his arms folded, said.

[From the beginning, he hasn’t left this workshop for a moment, waiting for us.]

At that moment, a strange scream, like rubbing iron and breaking it, leaked from the ceiling of the vast workshop.

Awesome… … !!

Wow!!

Something that landed in the air grabbed the shadow’s neck as if swinging a claw.

iron!!

The shadow that lost half of its head died on the spot without even screaming.

The moment when the shadows, realizing that an invisible enemy was hanging over their heads, raised their guns in unison.

[…] … Unbelievable.]

Charuk… … !!

Covered in black metal, a gigantic raven glared at the shadows with red eyes.

The blood dripping from the tips of its sharp beak and claws is so clear that it’s hard to understand why it hasn’t been noticed until now.

A strange and alien crow monster that is hard to believe lurks in the middle of this secluded workshop.

Even the shape of an automatically manufactured mechanical arm that was stuck between the body and the wings and could not be removed.

Clack, clap!!

As the shadows paused at the sight, speechless, a quiet voice came from behind them.

“Isn’t that a bad design?”

[…] … !!]

The shadows, startled and turning their muzzles back, pulled the trigger all at once and let out all the bullets.

Tatatatatatang!!!

As if the quiet silence had been a lie up until now, the fire mingled with the sound of intense gunfire embroidered the workshop, giving off an acrid smell.

Even in the center of the turmoil, the voice does not waver and resonates clearly.

“I entrusted the design to the person who would manipulate it, and it turned out surprisingly well.”

[What nonsense… … !!]

“I like that shape, which is slightly different from the ordinary aesthetic sense.”

Among the clutter of cogs and screws.

The shadows were at a loss for words when they saw the young man sitting astride holding a screwdriver with soot all over his body.

Unknown mechanical arms that rose from among the rubbish and rubbish were holding all the bullets fired by the shadows with their long fingers and holding them upright.

Building a system that is precise and agile enough to react to the speed of a bullet on the spot, not just capturing the movement of the shadow in real time.

The moment when the shadows stepped back, realizing that they were not dealing with a powerless engineer, but with a craftsman who built their own space.

iron!!

The claws of the crows, which disappeared as if they were melting in the air, lightly jumped over a distance of ten meters and grabbed the hearts of the shadows.

[…] … ah?]

Shadows dying on the spot, not even fully recognizing what they were subjected to.

Only one leader stands in the middle of the shadows that collapse like a puppet with a thread cut off.

Looking at the leader like that, Lennok put a finger to his mouth and smiled.

“It’s a little quieter now. yes?”

[…] … .]

Instead of answering those words, the leader looked closely at the shape of the crow monster wriggling in the corner of the studio ceiling.

I thought my whole body was covered with black metal, but it wasn’t even a living beast in the first place.

A gigantic robot whose body was entirely made of metal during the production process. I can’t even guess what the internal process is like.

The only thing I could know was that the claws of the crows that had pierced through the hearts of the shadows and had disappeared leaped through space without any sign and tore their hearts apart.

[I thought he was a half-punch with halfway dangerous talent, but I guess I was completely wrong.]

The leader, who warmed up in a sharp voice and tapped his feet, looked at Lennok and said.

[I wondered what he was doing stuck in the workshop, but he was making a space jump device? This was a completely crazy kid.]

“… … .”

intervening in space. The leader knew how impractical it was to use a technology that would leap and blast a specific substance as a weapon.

time and space. It is in some sense the right of the chosen to be able to wield the two powers that define the basic rules of the world.

It is no different even for craftsmen who realize it as a tool rather than their own strength.

No, rather, it is a clear fact that putting such a metaphysical concept into a specific material is, on the one hand, more difficult or difficult.

Even so, this filthy man wearing a half-mask was casually demonstrating such a technique in front of the shadows.

[Was the reason why you participated in the Meister selection ceremony and were eliminated in order not to draw attention unnecessarily?]

“On the contrary, it’s surprising that you ask about it.”

Lennok laughed, fiddling with the iron mask that half covered his face.

“Didn’t you know roughly what was going on?”

[…] … .]

“I finished the selection ceremony moderately, but I thought it couldn’t end there if I knew what I was touching.”

Lennok tossed the screwdriver he was fiddling with and stood up from his seat.

“Rather, it came later than I thought. Thanks to that, I prepared longer than necessary.”

From the moment Terremer’s demise was fixed and traces were left, Lennok had been thinking that this might be the case.

A relic of the old world that Meisters could not repair even with their hands. All the judges witnessed that Lennok could handle it at least a little bit.

Officially, it ended with delaying notification of the results, but someone might want to know more about how Lennok did it.

Perhaps beyond that level, Lennok guessed that he might covet the ability to organize relics of the old world.

The Raven, who has now dealt with the shadow agents, is another result that Lennok has been steadily preparing, apart from the firearm modification.

Using the equipment used in the automatic manufacturing process, it was a clone created to act as a military force as a craftsman.

“Which one?”

asked Lennok, coiled under the wings of a huge raven.

“Meister and Ex Machina members who participated in the selection ceremony as judges. I wonder which of them wanted to see my face.”

[Hoho, do you have any intention of accepting our invitation?]

The leader asked in reverse as if he was interested.

[I thought you were an ordinary artisan, but you seem more used to this situation than I thought. If I had known in advance, there would not have been a need to put too much pressure on me.]

He casually kicked the corpses of the fallen shadows and nodded.

[You don’t have to worry about killing a few of these guys. If you are willing to cooperate, constructive… … .]

“no.”

Lennok, who was listening to the leader, smiled.

“Of course I intend to interrogate you and find out who your master is.”

[…] … .]

There was no way he could show a good side to the opponent who was trying to kidnap Lennok by trespassing into the studio without permission.

It was only then that the leader realized that he had gone too far and fell silent.

The leader, who had been standing quietly observing the surroundings, instantly raised his mana and sprinted from the spot as if bouncing forward.

[Then I have no choice but to go ahead with the first operation… … !!!]

Kagagagak!!!

The leader’s body, wrapped in a jet-black machine suit, spread out wide, transforming into a steel beast rather than a human.

The leader, transformed into a monstrous beast dripping with oil, opened his mouth on the spot and tried to devour Mouser, not Lenok.

As the two appear to be business partners, it is not Lenok who is wary of them from the beginning, but an improvisation to take Mouser hostage.

The moment the beast’s jaws tried to raise its head while gripping the legs of Mouser, who was defenselessly asleep.

The raven, with its steel wings wide open, landed on the leader’s head like a flash war.

Kwaaaaang!!

[Ha ha ha!!!]

Parts and clutter from all sides floated up in the air with the impact, and then, like waves, were washed away and sank.

However, the space where Mouser sleeps is as quiet as if time has stopped.

Only then did the leader laugh hard, realizing that Mouser wasn’t sleeping soundly, insensitive to external stimuli, but was being protected by some means.

[Yeah, I guess it’s because I used my hands in my own way compared to what I made as bait… … ?]

“I have some debt. I can’t hurt you.”

When Lennok snapped his fingers, a mechanical arm that rose up around him took the place of the crow, grabbing the leader’s entire body and beginning to dismember it.

Click, click!!

A sharp blade is set on fire to cut the outer skin, and the screws and parts that have been tightened begin to be removed one by one.

The leader asked as he watched his machine-made body dismantle piece by piece on the spot.

[What are you going to do with me?]

“I plan to disassemble your body into parts.”

Lennok replied.

“It seems that the whole body has been remodeled with magical engineering metal, but I will dismantle it all leaving only the accident circuit and use it as part of my equipment.”

[…] … what?]

“The storage condition and hardness are very good. I think it would be a very good piece of equipment if you slightly modify it and use it as a firearm part.”

An answer that can only be given by someone who is completely crazy about renovation and maintenance.

Even the shadow leader, who was in danger of dying immediately, was at a loss for words at that absurd answer.

In the meantime, mechanical arms steadily began to dismantle the body of the giant robot beast.

Clack, clap!!

“Contrary to appearances, the circuit was concentrated on the inside of the chest.”

Lennok murmured after confirming the location of the inner circuit and skeleton.

“This is why body modification is convenient. By modifying weak points or vital points at will, he can turn the entire structure of his body upside down.”

Wheein!!

The saw blade attached to the inside of the mechanical arm rotates rapidly and cuts off the endoskeleton that protects the parts of the internal accident circuit.

The skeleton made of hard hardness resisted with sparks, but it did not last long when mana was applied to the tip of the saw blade and cutting magic was applied.

Kagagagak!!!

After cutting off the endoskeleton and taking out an object that looked like a clear glass crystal from inside, Lennok stared at it with interest.

“No matter how many times I see it, Makina’s cutting-edge technology is amazing. Now, the thought circuit itself has been materialized, and the consciousness contained within these spheres… … .”

Lennok looked into the glass crystal as he said that, and then fell silent.

The statue of Idupalbi engraved on the crystal circuit inside the accident circuit.

The shape of the pattern is too unnatural to be engraved on such a transparent glass bead.

Lennok had encountered a being with exactly the same appearance in the satellite city of Bayrutz the other day.

A huge new world data storage statue brought by the doctor for the interim settlement.

It was a trace of Pandaemonium.
