    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 613

    Selection ceremony (5)

    ‘Anyway even if I completely repair the artifact there I can’t take the magic gun with me.’

    Teremer’s end is ultimately a relic of Machina that exists in the Machine City’s Mind Hall. Strictly speaking ownership belongs to them.

    Even if Lennok claims ownership of the horse gun by talking about WORLD 2.0 it would sound like the nonsense of a crazy person.

    However if you use force to immediately obtain the Demon Gun you will have no means of finding out the secrets of Kaise and the Ascension Gate.

    That’s why instead of being stubborn about completely fixing the relic or getting it right away Lennok intentionally failed to repair it in a way that showed the true nature of the magic gun.

    Given that new possibilities of horse gun have been discovered other craftsmen may also belatedly try to touch the product.

    In the end if you find out that Lennok is the only one who can service that gun you will inevitably have no choice but to entrust the gun to Lennok again.

    In order to anticipate and prepare for that moment Lennok placed the Penterect in the end of Teremer and came out.

    The Penterect which was received as a gift from a monk is an artifact that has been perfectly synchronized with Lennok’s magic power through repeated use.

    It is an object that has no function even if anyone other than Lennok touches it.

    ‘Where is Darby Penterect now?’

    [The last signal was transmitted 8 hours ago and the signal was cut off at the underwater barrier deep inside the central district of Machina.]

    Dabi whispered quietly so that the heavily drunk Mouser could not hear.

    [It seems very likely that it is being stored in a barrier or space that can block any traces of magic power or traces of the relic.]

    “….”

    There must be a space inside the submarine wall called Simseonggwan where relics are stored.

    Even if the signal is lost right now it is not difficult to track the location later as the distance gets closer.

    For now it is enough to know that the location of Ma Chong has been recorded so that it can be traced.

    Lennok did not stop there but turned his thoughts towards the vague question that began with the end of Teremer.

    ‘The magistrate and the demon musketeer. Either way these two professions are undoubtedly closely related to the secrets of the Old World.’

    The two occupations that Lennoch chose to play in WORLD 1.0 and 2.0.

    Since we know that it has somehow left a strong trace and memory in this third world we need to check it out for ourselves at all costs.

    Moreover among the relics of the old world which rarely exist in intact form such top-class equipment is kept in relatively good condition.

    ‘It’s probably not a coincidence. There is a possibility that this is equipment that one of the two people was using….’

    Due to his experience in the Far Eastern branch of the Guido cult Lennok knew that the cult leader was related to him but

    Still not sure who the other one was.

    Or should I say that I am hesitant to jump to a conclusion even though I have an inkling of who it might be.

    We can still only vaguely guess why they still remain in this world and where the truth exists.

    Although I have never once doubted that this world is a living breathing reality.

    So why do the memories and history of the world exist in the same way as the data of the game called WORLD?

    What part of Lennok’s game has brought him to where he is today?

    In this world full of delusion and doubt the only trace that only a very small number of people including Lennok can recognize lies within the underwater barrier.

    It’s a pity that I couldn’t obtain the title of Meister but I have no choice but to accept it if it’s the price to pay for chasing the end of Teremer.

    After coming to that conclusion Lennok poured the drink that Mouser had given him into his mouth and stood up.

    “I did the best I could. “There is no need to hold on to problems that cannot be solved for a long time.”

    “…Hehe that’s right. “I don’t know who has aged backwards.”

    As soon as he heard Lennok’s words Mouser flinched and shook his shoulders and after being silent for a while he finally answered.

    Surprisingly the answer touched my heart.

    “So what do you plan to do from now on? Do you want to continue working in the workshop?”

    Mouser looked back at Lennok who was heading to the workbench with a red-faced drunken face.

    “It’s almost as if the meisters themselves recognized your remodeling skills at the selection ceremony so there will be a lot more customers looking for you.”

    But Lennok shook his head wiping away the dust accumulated on the workbench with a dry towel.

    “no. “I plan to stop being a father-in-law for a few days.”

    “Eh? “Why?”

    “I became familiar with the modification process to some extent by handling various equipment.”

    Slam!!

    Lennok said taking out the white revolver image from his arms and stroking it.

    “Then shouldn’t I take some care of my equipment now?”

    “….”

    Mouser who belatedly understood what Lennok was saying shook his head in bewilderment.

    “Oh my god are you saying that the work you’ve done on other people’s equipment up until now was simply a test bed to test your skills?”

    “Isn’t the term ‘test bench’ a bit harsh?”

    thud!!

    Lennok laughed as he put down various firearms including a revolver and a huge sniper rifle heavy machine gun from his arms one by one.

    “Please tell me that it was part of various experiences to get closer to the essence of a craftsman.”

    “Anyway wizards are….”

    That’s what they say but Mouser didn’t know what it meant to modify a new gun at this point.

    Maintaining a gun means that you may have to use the gun.

    Lennok was already preparing to move in a different way than working as a craftsman.

    Mouser who was sighing and looking wearily at the firearms that Lennoc was constantly pulling out saw the shotgun that Lennoch had pulled out and his eyes glowed faintly.

    “This is… something I gave you as a gift.”

    A magic-charged shotgun designed to add power by charging magic power or to be used without changing magazines.

    This is a special item given by Mouser as a token of gratitude for saving his life against a Pandemonium battle at the West Continent Branch of the Blaver Magic Tower.

    At that time he handed over two barrels but Evelyn said they were not needed so Lennok converted them to double barrels through the hands of his father-in-law Palmer who was staying in the Balkans.

    “I remember the principle and serial number of the rechargeable device. “Do I remember correctly?”

    “Ah I’ve been using it usefully ever since. “It was truly an excellent item worthy of a craftsman from the Machine City.”

    “I see… So that’s what you said?”

    Mouser seemed very satisfied that Lennok was still using and keeping the gift he had given him.

    Mouser who was holding a rechargeable shotgun and stroking it here and there with a happy expression muttered.

    “The shape has changed a little. It was converted to a double barrel. “Is this part of the firearm modification you are talking about?”

    “It’s similar. To be precise it is closer to refining the capabilities of firearms so that they can achieve extreme performance even in fast-paced battlefields…”

    Lennok answered as he unzipped the revolver magazine and placed the parts on the workbench with deft hands.

    “In the process we are remodeling to specialize the strengths of each firearm even if we have to sacrifice some efficiency.”

    “Hmm so this rechargeable shotgun was also modified to have a double barrel…”

    Mouser who was fiddling with the shotgun with a slightly sobered face had returned to his serious expression.

    “Originally rechargeable shotguns are not made with double barrels. This is because the efficiency of magic power decreases significantly the moment the number of muzzles increases.”

    “….”

    “But it is also true that in order to increase the power of a single shot expanding the barrel is ultimately the answer. Taking that into account I think I know what type of renovation you are aiming for…”

    Mouser stroked his chin and laughed.

    “It’s fun. “For the customers who come to you you have been handling work by providing the most efficient maintenance and remodeling in parallel but in reality your equipment is trying to expand into extreme specialization that is far from efficient.”

    “Everyone needs different equipment depending on the situation.”

    Lennok smiled and looked away.

    “More than that you knew to some extent how I run the workshop.”

    “You are more sensuous and bold than any wizard I know.”

    Mouser answered as if he was not surprised.

    “If such a wizard suddenly came to Machina and said he was going to run a workshop wouldn’t it be a huge loss to your life if you weren’t around to watch?”

    Although he was close to intoxication just a moment ago the reason he regained his senses the moment he touched the equipment was because he had already reached the point as a craftsman.

    Mouser who looked as if he had sobered up before he knew it turned his shoulders looked around and grabbed the hammer hanging on the wall.

    “good.”

    thud!!

    He stood in front of the simple workbench in front of the furnace and said dipping the tongs into the fire with familiar hand movements.

    “Since this is what happened let me help you with your renovation.”

    “…Are you going to be okay?”

    “I’ve been watching you all along and I see that your senses and ideas are really great but your metallurgy skills aren’t that high.”

    Mouser nodded.

    “Wouldn’t it be helpful if I were by your side to make and repair the parts needed for your modifications?”

    “It’s not wrong but…”

    If Lennok entrusts the parts to Mouser a skilled craftsman instead of manufacturing the parts himself the process and work time required for modification can be greatly reduced.

    It would also be possible to find the optimal result by simultaneously trying various things that cannot be done with existing parts.

    However not only will Mouser be officially involved in Lennok’s problem but it will be relatively easy to pass on all the chores to Mouser.

    During the remodeling process no matter what parts Lennok requests and manufactures they will have to be confirmed in several processes and go through various trials and errors.

    Mouser couldn’t have known that fact but it was surprising that he willingly stepped forward to help Lennok.

    However Mouser laughed and patted his stomach despite Lennok’s reaction.

    “I feel good when I see people like you who use things sparingly for a long time.”

    “….”

    “Having the people who use the product you worked so hard to cherish is a different kind of joy than the reward of making the product.”

    Cheap!!

    said Mouser picking up the shotgun with tongs heated in a furnace.

    “And as I got older sometimes I was more drawn to that motivation than making things.”

    “Is that so?”

    Although Mouser provided Lennok with a space to use as a workshop he has so far maintained a stance of taking a step back and observing what Lennok does.

    That’s why Mouser suddenly says he’ll help Lennok with his gun modification project.

    Was the fact that he was still using a magic-charged shotgun decisively leading to Mouser’s cooperation?

    As Lennok who does not manufacture equipment himself he could not yet understand the exact feelings of reward and joy that Mouser was talking about.

    It seemed certain that at least that level of driving force existed in Lennok’s attitude and actions.

    Slam!!

    As I turn the direction of the furnace the scorching heat begins to spread through the workshop and all the way to my head.

    As the mouser picks up the hammer and strikes the tongs hard the strong noise of metal being struck echoes through the workshop and into the night.

    The heat and brilliance of burning flames illuminate the darkened streets of the workshop district but the people here see even the noise and heat as traces of passion and talent.

    Did you say that the craftsman’s spirit of improvement which rises and then disappears in a split second is considered the greatest treasure and asset in the Machina Workshop District and is cherished?

    Lennok did not know much about their pride or talent as craftsmen but he agreed that the values ​​they held dear were meaningful.

    Kang kang!!

    Lennok sweating and rolling up his sleeves looked back at Mouser and smiled.

    “We’ll start with the revolver. “I’ll print out the design drawings of the parts and stick them on the wall so let’s get started right away.”

    “We have to make large-sized parts first. That way the remaining metal can be re-melted and used as intact as possible.”

    Mouser walked ahead and smiled at Lennok.

    “I may have learned a bit from looking over my shoulder while working in the workshop but I don’t know much about the basics of metallurgy. “This time I will teach you step by step from beginning to end.”

    “It would be nice if I had time for that but….”

    Lennok slowly turned his head and his gaze sank slightly.

    Mouser didn’t seem to feel it but he could feel someone’s secret gaze spying on this workshop.

    A clear intention that goes beyond simply watching and observing this place and gives a clear will to action.

    “Maybe I should put off learning metallurgy.”

    It seemed that the answer to the results of the selection ceremony arrived faster than expected.
