Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 628



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 628

designer(1)

After solving the incident at the Cyberwood Workshop time passed quickly in the Advanced Workshop District.

He continues his craftsmanship in the workshop and gathers information about Ascension Gate whenever he has time.

‘There are more clues about the Ascension Gate than I thought through Boyan’s memories.’

Lennok’s eyes shined sharply as he quickly looked through thick books and papers.

‘Even if we cannot immediately find the most important secrets such as the location of the Ascension Gate we can definitely trace its traces and history.’

If Lennok had just arrived in the Machine City he would not have been able to delve into Machina’s living area and conduct an investigation like this.

The library where I am now searching for materials was also a facility that could not be used by anyone other than craftsmen living in the upper-class workshop districts or residents who had obtained such tickets.

However due to the various issues I resolved while continuing my role as a craftsman the opportunities to access Machina’s core district increased more than expected.

Lennok did not overlook that fact and was trying to make the most of what was available to him.

‘I’ll have to reduce my workshop work little by little and maintain my status as a craftsman until I find a clear clue.’

After a short break in the library we return to the workshop. Begin preparing to welcome guests.

Cybud’s words that he would introduce Lennok’s workshop to other craftsmen were not a lie and many customers came to visit despite the fact that the workshop had been relocated.

Jump up!!

“A month ago my workshop suddenly stopped receiving customers…!! “Please help me!!”

As if they had all come after hearing the story from Cyberd they are now even sincere in printing out photos of their workshop and bringing them to Lennok.

Lennok asked as soon as he saw the photo of the workshop presented by the craftsman.

“You recently changed your raw material supplier. Is that correct?”

“That’s right!!”

Rather than being surprised or shocked the craftsman nods his head enthusiastically as if it is as expected.

“The transport cart seen at the bottom of the photo is slightly collapsed. “It is impossible to use a broken cart in a workshop for a long time so it means that the weight and material of the metal being moved has changed significantly recently.”

“It was just as rumored!!!”

Instead of responding Lennok pointed to a corner of the photo the craftsman had brought to the workshop.

“The wall next to the furnace is wet. Considering the heat this is impossible. “The water vapor evaporating from the inside mixes with the magic power and continues to discolor the furnace.”

“Ha but the supplier I contracted with said that if I used the alloy they refined there would never be any leakage of magic power…!!”

Lennok continued to look at the photo and pointed to the tongs lying on the workbench.

“I can see that one end of this claw is bent so it appears to be a device made of deformed alloy.”

“uh? Uh… right….”

“This type of modified alloy is often made by combining liquid metal with magic power.”

Lennok shook his head at the father-in-law who responded indifferently.

“It seems like the liquid metal and magic have separated and are starting to play separately as they have been exposed to the heat for a long time.”

“Then what should we do?!”

“We need to change the supplier right away.”

“Wow I thought I found a groundbreaking cost reduction method…”

Mouser who was tapping a hammer on the crafting table as he watched the craftsman walking away with his shoulders drooping clicked his tongue.

“It looks like you were scammed by the supplier. Immature craftsmen sometimes act like that but my friend who is a craftsman in a high-level workshop district is like that…”

“It is said that the strengths and weaknesses of alloys using new materials are usually difficult to discern at a glance so craftsmen are easily defrauded.”

Lennok said tapping the newspaper spread out on the table next to his workbench.

“If you look at the news you hear that iron prices have risen a lot these days so you probably wanted to cut costs if possible.”

At Lennok’s words Mouser looked back at Lennok with a sour look.

“Now you seem more familiar with the Machine City than I am don’t you think?”

“It would be a good idea for Master Mouser to pay a little more attention to current events.”

“….”

It’s time to take a break after having a casual conversation and eating a light meal in the workshop nearing noon.

Every day at this time Lennok went to the library located near the workshop district and looked up materials about the Ascension Gate.

“Meldrance Deborah Klashik Velma… was wrong.”

Lennok who had been leafing through a book about the ultimate gateway and barrier in the machine city of Machina soon closed the thick book and stood up.

“I’ve been looking through hundreds of professional books for several days but I can’t find the name I want…”

Except for the time he worked in the workshop he lived in the library and devoted himself to researching materials but in the end the information he needed most could not be found anywhere.

From Boyan’s memories the man muttered something just before he entered the door.

Atermire the designer of the Ascension Gate.

Lennok was searching through books and papers convinced that the name would play a key role in tracking down the Ascension Gate.

Several days passed and I still couldn’t find that name anywhere.

[Master: When I randomly entered the word into the search box and searched I confirmed that Machina’s internal security module was moving in this direction.]

In Lennok’s arms Dabi also seemed to have found results of his own and quietly shared them with him.

[On some sites or networks it may be set as a prohibited word and it almost certainly appears that location tracking is set to be activated when the name is searched.]

“So if you search for the name Atermire the security system is designed to trace back your search location.”

Of course even if you search through all the nearby libraries papers books and databases you cannot find the name Atermire.

Just by searching for that name on the network your location can be traced back.

At least it seemed clear that the Machine City was managing to ensure that the name was never revealed to the public.

“The designer of the Ascension Gate is being kept hidden on purpose. “What is the reason?”

Data on Ascension Gate which was considered the largest project in the Machine City is not properly disclosed to the public but traces of it remain clear.

Even if there are no books written directly about the name or progress the fact that there was a very large project decades ago and that it ended without achieving any results is recorded everywhere.

In some cases the names of politicians who were executed or exiled executives who took responsibility for the failure of the plan were written in detail.

“….”

Lennok’s fingers which had been lost in thought as he mindlessly flipped through the wanted dictionary stopped.

[Project Exile first. Maiya Lensley]

This is because the personal information about the executor of Pandemonium whom Lennok was familiar with was written in quite detail.

An extremely high-ranking superhuman who was once the best executive officer of the Machine City but was exiled after taking responsibility for the failure of the Gate of Ascension.

Perhaps because she had been working as an executioner in Machina for that long her story was written in quite detail in the wanted dictionary.

[The executive with the most accomplishments and accomplishments in Machina history. He served as head of the executive branch twice resigned three times and was expelled as an outcast.]

[Executive Officer Curriculum 239th Senior Completion. It is officially recorded that he reached level 7 of self-transformation completion at the age of 34. Current estimated hierarchy level 8 or higher.]

[Machina is famous for memorizing the geography and locations of all districts and districts and thus stands out in chase and escape operations.]

[He is skilled in both box fighting and weapon shooting and holds 3 or more special weapon skill licenses. Expulsion is expunged and all records are deleted.]

“Maiya Renslit….”

If you think about it when you first met Maiya in the Hanghasa Labyrinth she was moving around with the doctor’s incarnation.

Considering that he appeared in the interim financial statements would it be correct to think of him as having a cooperative relationship to some extent with the doctor?

Now that the doctor’s identity has been discovered in Machina and his abilities appear to be somewhat related to the Gate of Ascension Maiya’s fate is a matter to consider.

“…Maybe we should contact Pandemonium.”

Maiya a former enforcer would probably know about the existence of Atermire.

The problem is that since the failure of the Ascension Gate is something close to Maiya’s misfortune I don’t know if there is a way to ask her about the name Atermire without provoking her.

In the end in order to successfully find the designer of the Gate of Ascension in this matter we will need a more secret and sharp move than this…

Lennok thought about that and stood up.

* * *

As he focused on finding data he could not spend much time on consulting but the speed at which Lennok got things done got faster and faster.

This is proof that you are getting used to looking behind the scenes while handling various agendas and requests in the workshop.

At first Lennok could find the cause only after listening to the customer but now his speed is getting faster and faster so much so that he starts making estimates just by looking at the customer’s clothes.

“I can’t take care of large-scale industrial equipment so please go to another workshop.”

“We do not accept requests for military supplies. “I know there is a workshop that specializes in military equipment but I think you should go there.”

“These are the police right? “A criminal suddenly came to me asking me to leave his equipment…”

“Wow!!”

We understand the problems of the craftsmen and customers who come without saying a word and quickly filter out what can be done and what cannot.

In the process suspicious people are reported to the police requests from different fields are sent to specialized workshops and answers are given first to matters that require consultation.

“You may want to increase the interval between oiling the equipment to about two weeks.”

“yes? “But I haven’t said anything yet…”

Later even before the guest could get to the main point Lennok started telling him the solution.

Although the guests who visited the workshop returned home with the answers they wanted they all returned home with expressions as if they were possessed by a ghost.

“Are you Lyman who is telling fortunes on customers right here in the workshop district?”

“….”

“Please see what my fate is. “Am I going to be king?”

As more time passes strange ghost stories follow and all kinds of customers come to Lennok.

“I’m sorry Master Lyman. “A report was made to the group that the craftsman’s workshop was a pseudo-religious group so all it took was a simple confirmation and signature…”

“…yes?”

I even had to listen to the absurd news that I had been reported several times as a fake after attending the police station for a while while repeatedly apologizing.

One day I was concentrating on my workshop work while wandering around looking for traces of Ascension Gate and Kaise.

“It’s been a while Lyman.”

Ebert the manager in charge of the upper workshop district came to visit him on behalf of Narcissa.

Like Mouser and Narcissa she is an outstanding craftsman who learned metallurgy in the workshop of Hwadeok Jin-gun and is also a meister herself.

Lennok shook his hand without hesitation and then immediately asked:

“The convocation of Ex Machina. “Is it the date?”

When Ebert moved Lennok’s workshop to the upper workshop district he said that he would summon Lennok to the Psychic Hall in Ex Machina.

I only remembered the story at that time and had never heard of the schedule but he who had never shown his face before came to the workshop for the first time.

But Ebert smiled wryly at those words and shook his head slightly.

“Something about convocation is right but it’s also wrong.”

“yes?”

“Elava. “Let’s come in and talk.”

As soon as Ebert’s words were heard a woman followed him into the workshop.

Light clothing with work clothes and sturdy work shoes. Dark and thick eyebrows are impressive.

Even at a glance you can tell that he is a craftsman and he has a confident expression that matches his appearance.

She immediately approached Mouser clasped her hands together politely and bowed her head.

“I’ve heard a lot about Master Lyman.”

“…?”

“If you don’t mind can we talk for a moment about the problem I’m having?”

Mouser who only then realized that the woman was confusing the other person chuckled.

“Ebert. Didn’t they even explain it properly? “You’re very mischievous.”

“yes?”

For a moment the woman tilted her head unable to understand Mouser’s words.

Ebert smiled at the woman and pointed at Lennok.

“This is Master Lyman. “You’ve got the wrong person.”

“yes? No the craftsman who even consulted on the workshop of the Cyberwood craftsman…?”

The woman who walked back in front of Lennok hesitantly with an expression of not understanding bowed her head.

“Nice to meet you. “It’s called Elaba.”

“….”

Lennok looked at the woman who introduced herself as Elava and spoke.

“It’s not a question of attack or defense.”

“yes? ah….”

Elava scratched her cheek with an embarrassed look.

“That’s right. “I don’t have my own workshop yet.”

“It looks like you are working as an apprentice under another craftsman. Are you planning on quitting anytime soon?”

“Huh? Yes… no how did you know?”

Elava answered like that without thinking and asked back as if she was surprised.

Lennok answered as he turned his head and picked up the hammer.

“Regardless of whether they are men or women artisans with long hair tend to leave traces of their work on their hair.”

“yes?”

“Overall the hair texture is uneven but the bottom part where it was twisted up is barely tanned. This is proof that even though he has been working as a craftsman for quite a long time he has not even been near the furnace for at least a week.”

“….”

“Isn’t the fact that the apprentice craftsman doesn’t sit in front of the brazier indicate that his heart has already left that place?”

Elava who had been listening to Lennok in a daze finally came to her senses with a gasp.

“Wow it’s just as rumored. No how can you do that with only that….”

“Of course this is not something you can tell just by looking at the hair.”

Lennok laughed as he bent the wire on the workbench by hitting it with a hammer.

“A light outfit that is not typical of a craftsman the difference in muscle mass in both arms the fact that the shoes they are wearing have different weights and that they are lined with fire-resistant fabric… As a craftsman in a workshop who works while maintaining his balance in front of an ultra-high temperature furnace he can tell whether he is working or not by looking at the smoke. Because it can be done.”

“I don’t think that makes any more sense…”

Elava muttered in an uncertain tone and then as if she realized the reason for coming here so late she took out a heavy paper bag from her arms.

“First of all this is my severance pay!!”

“…yes?”

Elava bowed her head on the spot paying no heed to Lennok who was looking down at her with a bewildered expression.

“I will do whatever I can so please correct what is wrong with me as a craftsman!!”

“…”

Lennok looked at Ebert silently and only then did he smile and explain.

“That’s literally it. “Could you please see what Elava lacks as a craftsman?”

“Are you saying this has something to do with being summoned to the Simsungwan?”

Ebert nodded.

“I can’t give you a detailed explanation but I really need her help.”

“….”

Why do I have to take care of Elava’s problem in order to enter the Mind Hall?

While Lennok was pondering the correlation Mouser gestured toward Elava with a sour expression.

“Hey come over here and write your name on the list.”

“Oh I understand!”

“It was called Elava. “What is your last name?”

“Atermeyer.”

At that moment Lennok’s expression hardened as he turned around.

“My name is Elava Atermeyre.”
