“…Are you saying that one of my disciples secretly used the furnace?”
The flagship Cyberd’s complexion hardened as if he had heard what was said.
“All of the guys gathered here are guys I picked and raised after seeing the bowl myself. If you ask me they are like my children.”
“….”
“If you don’t take responsibility for that here today you will have to apologize directly to the students in my workshop. Do you understand?”
“I understand so would you please stop work and call your master’s disciples?”
Lennok nodded.
“It would be quicker to see all the faces at once and come to a conclusion.”
Cyberdeed immediately stopped operating the workshop after hearing those words and gathered the other craftsmen in front of Lennok.
It goes without saying that the expressions on the faces of the craftsmen who were called out while they were busy working after asking for the understanding of the confused customers were not good.
Craftsmen of various ages ranging from young to old all look at Lennok with displeased expressions.
“So there is a criminal among us?”
The oldest-looking father-in-law asked Lennoc sarcastically.
Several of the other young craftsmen also did not hide their displeasure when looking at Lennok.
“Now that I see it I was a jerk in the selection ceremony that said I was recently promoted to a higher-level workshop district.”
“Not only do you want to borrow Master Narcissa Solmer’s name but are you now trying to reach out to Master’s workshop?”
“It’s absurd. “This workshop means everything to me so how can you doubt us?”
Despite the cold reactions coming from everywhere Lennok quietly raised his hand.
“Could you please come out and line up in front of me?”
“what?”
“I also have to be careful to identify the culprit. “I want to compare under the same conditions as much as possible.”
“….”
The craftsmen looked annoyed but when Cybud standing behind Lennok nodded they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut and stand neatly.
As Lennok walked slowly in front of the craftsmen he closed his eyes and slowly shook his head.

Instead of looking closely at the craftsmen not only Cyberd but also Mouser looked shocked at the sight of Lennok walking down with his eyes closed.
After completing two more laps with his eyes closed Lennok opened his mouth.
“There is no smell.”
“…what?”
The moment the others blinked not understanding the meaning of those words Lennok opened his eyes and nodded and looked away.
“It’s done. “I think that’s enough.”
“Okay can I explain now?”
“As you can see the five furnaces located in this workshop are spread out across the walls but the flow of heat itself is shared through the facilities inside the workshop.”
Lennok spoke in the quiet workshop.
“It is a structure in which hot air outlets organically connected to five furnaces circulate through the ceiling walls and basement of the workshop to control and manage the thermal power.”
“yes.”
“The problem is that because there are too many furnaces the structure of the passageway that controls the fire power is overly complicated.”
As Lennok said this he put a pen to a piece of paper near the work table and naturally began to draw.
A strange shape that looks like hundreds of spider webs stretching out in a row around a huge workshop.
“In order to control the firepower within a given space the exhaust outlets are diverted to as many places as possible so the structure itself is complicated.”
“hmm….”
Cybed said frowning and glaring at the paper Lennok held out.
“So this is my workshop? “It seems like you don’t have much talent for drawing.”
“….”
Although it is impossible to express it clearly due to Lennok’s poor drawing skills it is inevitable as the priority is to make them understand the situation.
“That is why it is difficult to quantitatively measure the heat control values of each outlet and even if the values fluctuate it is difficult to observe and detect problems.”
Lennok tapped the wall of the furnace and said.
“The culprit probably knew the internal environment of these furnaces well and knew that even if something went wrong with the furnace and the internal temperature rose little by little it would be difficult to easily find the cause.”
“This is only possible if you have a good understanding of the internal environment of the furnace….”
The Cyberd frowned and mumbled something along Lennok’s words before shaking his head.
“No if one of my disciples had deliberately tried to ruin my workshop there would have been a much more effective method than this. “There is no reason to use such a troublesome method.”
It is an important issue that gradually increasing the temperature inside the furnace may ruin the quality of the items made in the workshop.
There are many other ways to immediately damage the sales or business of this huge workshop.
Moreover if the culprits were the disciples who lived with Cyvid and were familiar with the facilities inside this workshop it would have been much easier to destroy facilities other than the furnace.
“In my workshop these five furnaces are the most robust and frequently maintained core facilities. “Even I can’t do this without using my system’s internal management authority to forcibly overload the furnace and that would take much more than three days.”
As if he had already concluded that Lennok’s judgment was completely wrong Cyberdet sat down across from Lennok and quickly began to explain.
“If the disciples were the culprits as you said then instead of touching the furnace they would have done something like stealing the water supply or ventilation system or at least the cornerstone of the workshop.”
However Lennok nodded obediently despite Cyvid’s words.
“That’s what made it difficult to determine the cause of the problem.”
“what?”
“The criminal did not do this to ruin the attack. However he thought that it didn’t matter if damage was done to the workshop as long as it was for his own purposes. There is a very big difference between the two.”
“….”

“That person had a reason to touch the furnace rather than other facilities in the workshop.”
Does this mean that it wasn’t that he had a grudge against Cyberd or was trying to ruin the battle but that it was just a side effect for another purpose?
While the others were slowly reflecting on the meaning Lennok took something out of his pocket.
“Ultra-high temperature flames that can only be maintained in an workshop like this. Nevertheless it is a serious abnormality that causes the temperature to rise even further. What do you think it means even more so that the cause itself could not be found anywhere else?”
“Wait a minute. “To touch the brazier…!!”
Phew!!
Lennok laughed as he threw something similar to powder into the blazing furnace before the other craftsmen could stop him.
“It was because the cause of the problem itself existed within the furnace.”
“How dare an outsider touch the flames of the furnace…!!”
The young disciple shot in an angry tone and jumped up and rushed towards Lennok.
The image of the father-in-law standing up and extending his hand towards Lennok as if he was going to grab him by the collar and beat him up at any moment.
Everyone’s eyes widened for a moment when they saw that but Lennok just looked at the young man with a sour expression.
At the moment when Cyved was trying to dissuade him from seeing the bloody expression on the young man’s face he could easily have pushed Lennok into the furnace just by looking at his momentum.
Phew!!
The young man passed by without holding on to Lennok.
“…?”
It was such a natural move that it felt like the act of hostility towards Lennok just moments ago seemed like a lie.
The moment the other disciples opened their mouths slightly not understanding the young man’s actions the young man suddenly picked up speed and started running like crazy.
The disciples realizing that the direction was toward the inside of the flames of the brazier where Lennok had just touched jumped up from their seats.
“Bo boyan!!”
“You crazy guy where are you going!!”
“Stop that bastard he’s planning to kill himself…!!”
Before the other disciples could follow and stop the young man named Boyan the flames that came out of the brazier attacked Boyan.
Grumbling!!
“Khaak!!”
“Hot hot…!!”
The other disciples took a step back in horror and looked back at Cyberd with embarrassed expressions.
“Master why is Boyan…!!”
“wait.”
Cybed said looking into the flames of the furnace with a sharp expression.
“Because I don’t think it’s over yet.”
At that moment a middle-aged man with a bushy beard walked out of the fire carrying the struggling young man.
Hwaaaah!!!
“Whoa…!! “Anyway you’re bothering me.”
A mouser with a bushy beard scorched by fire grumbled and Boyan who was held on his shoulder struggled like crazy.
“Let go of this!!!”
“I don’t like it.”
Mouser responded by throwing Boyan who was carrying him on his back to the floor.
thud!!
“Khaak!!”
Boyan who was lying down from the shock opened his eyes wide and barely exhaled.
Boyan is holding his stomach and shaking unable to get up.
Even though he must have been training for a long time as a craftsman in the Cyberd workshop he seemed unable to withstand Mouser’s strength.
“….”
Cyberd stood up quietly and looked at Boyan in silence.
Boyan can’t even look up at his teacher’s face let alone make proper eye contact.
After staring at Boyan like that for a while Cybud let out a trembling sigh and turned his head.
“…Now I know who touched the furnace and raised the temperature.”
The gaze was directed at Lennok who was standing silently leaning next to the brazier.
“So now explain to me why this happened.”
Only then did the other disciples realize the true nature of what Lennok had just done and held their breath in silence.
Just by throwing something unknown into the furnace Lennok had succeeded in finding the criminal he was talking about.
Recognizing that the criminal would definitely move due to his own actions he even had Mouser standby in advance to rescue Boyan.
It is absolutely impossible to understand the entire series of events and determine the cause just by looking around the workshop for a moment.
Just by repeating a meaningless action that he thought was nonsense a few times Lennok truly proved his words.
“Of course. “I think I have a little time left before I show you in person.”
Lennok looked thoughtful for a moment at Cyberdeed’s words then nodded and stood up.
“When I heard that the temperature in the workshop was rising I did not think of any other cause other than the furnace. “The only thing that can raise the temperature of this huge workshop little by little is that heat source in the first place.”
While saying that Lennok looked around at the surrounding workshop.
“If you look at the current state of the workshop there is an additional furnace installed on each of the four walls but especially on the north-facing side two furnaces coexist on one wall.”
“that….”
“If I had considered installing more furnaces I would have expanded the walls of the workshop or changed the structure from the beginning. “This is evidence that there is a reason to urgently add another furnace for some reason.”
Lennok said.
“The reason why the temperature in the workshop went down little by little when there were four furnaces but now that there are five it is gradually rising. “It would be rather strange if there were no secrets hidden in the changes.”
“…We were well aware of the changes caused by the number of furnaces.”
Cyberd answered.
“But even when one furnace was turned off and only four furnaces were turned on the temperature inside the workshop did not go down at all. That’s why we tried so hard to find problems not in the furnace but in other parts of the workshop…”
“As I said before the number of furnaces is not the problem. The change in time between the number of furnaces increased from four to five. “The difference was simply changing the temperature of the workshop.”
Lennok said casually extending his hand into the flames shooting out of the brazier.
“That’s because from the beginning the cause of the rise in temperature inside the furnace could not be observed using physical methods.”
“Now wait a minute…!!”
“It’s time to crawl out… but here you are.”
The moment when Cyberd stretched out his hand in embarrassment at the sight of Lennok sticking his hand into the flames with his bare hand.
Woe!!
Without hesitation Lennok grabbed something from inside the flame and snatched it away.
Slam!!
The moment it was grabbed and dragged out from inside the furnace the elongated body was struggling like a live fish in Lennok’s hands.
It was only then that the eyes of the other craftsmen who saw it with their own eyes opened wide.
“That thing…!!!”
[Shh shish shish shish!!!]
A lizard with scales that flaps its legs while flicking its tongue.
The scales that make up the lizard’s body are made of burning flames and a bright blue flame is burning softly at the end of the tail.
An essence that is closer to a spirit body and its attributes rather than existing in a clearly defined form.
Cyberd who belatedly realized the identity of the lizard muttered inadvertently.
“…government ordinance.”
“Yes.”
Lennok said grabbing the lizard by its tail and lifting it up.
“A spirit born with the attribute of fire. It is said that they are born in strong flames and grow by feeding on heat and flames.”
“….”
“I heard that these lizard-shaped spirits in particular have dull senses and a strong appetite so they can eat quite a bit of food in one sitting.”
“I see. That’s what it was…”
Now that he understood the cause and motive of this whole situation Cybrod muttered absentmindedly.
“Bojan became an elementalist.”
“Master….”
“Bojan probably obtained the spirit before the fifth furnace was built. “But you wouldn’t know how much food you would need to feed to control a spirit with a strong appetite.”
Boyan looked helplessly at Cyberd but Lennok ignored Boyan’s gaze and continued speaking.
“So instead of throwing away this spirit that I got my hands on I decided to raise it in the workshop’s furnace.”
The lizard which had been fluttering around for a while after escaping from the flames seemed to have lost all its strength and was hanging out sticking its tongue out.
“At first all they did was hide in the furnace and absorb the metallurgical heat.”
Lennok said looking at the lizard with interest.
“But as time passed and the spirit grew in size the power it gave off began to grow stronger and the heat of the furnace began to rise as well.”
“Is that why the temperature in the workshop did not go down even after stopping one of the furnaces?…”
When the fire spirit was young it only consumed the surrounding heat so the temperature of the furnace would have gradually lowered.
However as the spirit gradually grew gained strength and began to emit more heat than it consumed the temperature of the furnace began to rise.
Even if one of the five braziers was stopped the temperature in the workshop would have continued to rise through the power of the spirits alone.
The other craftsmen also seemed to have immediately understood Lennok’s explanation and their mouths twitched with a look of agitation.
“It doesn’t make sense….”
“How on earth could you think that spirits were a problem in this city?”
“From the first time I heard the explanation I thought the number of furnaces would not be the problem.”
Lennok answered.
“If the temperature dropped depending on the season and then continued to rise thereafter I thought it was not an attack or an attack but was similar to that of a living creature….”
When I threw the limp spirit in front of Boyan Boyan carefully picked up the lizard’s body and hugged it.
Lennok smiled as he met Bojan’s gaze which looked up with the childish gaze of an enemy.
“There are not many beings that can and should live inside a furnace.”
