    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 629

    Designer(2)

    Elava Atermeyre.

    As soon as Lennok heard that name he realized why Ebert had brought Elava.

    “Master Lyman. Are you okay?”

    “…No it’s nothing.”

    Lennok who quickly gathered his thoughts looked back at Ebert and nodded.

    “Let’s listen to the story first. What does it mean that you need Elava Artisan’s help to convene the Simseonggwan?”

    “An order came from above.”

    Ebert answered calmly.

    “For the first time in decades permission has been granted to open the Simseong Pavilion to outsiders and as I explained earlier it is highly likely that Master Lyman will be summoned.”

    “….”

    “In the process they said they needed Elava’s help to allow outsiders to enter. Therefore I am introducing her to the craftsmen who will be convened this time.”

    Ebert looked back at Elava who was standing hesitantly and said.

    “But Elava who heard the rumor about Master Lyman used this as an opportunity to ask for help.”

    “Originally I wanted to learn metallurgy to manufacture equipment but many workshops said it would be difficult to work with me because I had bad habits….”

    Elava who had been listening quietly opened her mouth hesitantly perhaps feeling that an explanation was needed.

    “I had no choice but to work in a factory-type workshop that handles iron on a large scale but Ebert said he would help me if I wanted.”

    “So you came to my workshop after being introduced to me.”

    “Just wait a moment.”

    At that moment Mouser who had been listening without saying a word suddenly grabbed Lennok by the shoulder and led him to a corner of the workshop.

    “Can you do half?”

    Mouser whispered so softly that Elava could not hear.

    “This is the most difficult type of customer that can come to you.”

    “…Probably so.”

    The range of motion of the human body and joints is limited from birth and it is natural to find a movement that is optimal for oneself.

    The role of habit and experience is to strike a balance between ideal movement and physical conditions and once established it is difficult to change.

    As an excellent craftsman Mouser knew very well how vague it was to ask people to correct their habits.

    “It seems I happened to be connected to Ebert and was introduced to him but there is no need to accept him.”

    Mouser said with a slightly serious expression.

    “If you mess with it unnecessarily and the condition worsens you might end up using it in vain.”

    However Lennok shook his head even though he understood Mouser’s words.

    “No I think we need to check.”

    “half…!!”

    Elava Atermeyre. It is no coincidence that the name appears at this moment.

    Lennok was convinced that the customer currently visiting the workshop was a descendant of the craftsman who designed the Ascension Gate.

    The reason why that name which had no trace in literature or data databases appeared at this point.

    Why is Elava’s help needed to summon the Simseonggwan?

    Lennok felt that he could not avoid helping her now if only to further confirm his guess.

    However it is impossible to openly explain that fact to Mouser and persuade him.

    Therefore Lennok decided to convince Mouser of his judgment in a different way.

    “This is not severance pay. “Take a good look.”

    “Huh?”

    At Mouser’s wide-eyed gaze Lennok took out a bill from inside the paper bag he was holding and showed it to him.

    “This banknote was issued approximately 20 years ago. However it is kept in very good condition and is tightly spread. “What kind of workshop would keep this kind of money in cash and give it to a retiring craftsman?”

    “….”

    “There is no way he doesn’t know how much money it takes to open his own workshop but he naturally says things like that. What does it mean even though I was rejected by many workshops based on my habits and was given the opportunity to work in front of a furnace?”

    “…It means there is a back boat. “But in the decades I’ve lived in this city I’ve never heard the name Atermire.”

    Mouser frowned.

    “Are you sure?”

    “well….”

    To be certain it is probably the most certain name in the entire Machine City.

    However Lennok did not dare to say those words out loud and just vaguely explained them.

    “I will figure out how to control that part.”

    Lennok turned and moved toward the workbench and slowly looked at Elava’s nervous face.

    “First of all I would like to see how you usually work in the workshop. “Is that okay?”

    “Oh yes. “Of course.”

    Lennok quietly massaged his chin and nodded as if he remembered something.

    “Let’s try making a self-defense pistol. Of course it must be 100% handmade.”

    Since the parts that go into a pistol come in various types and sizes it is a good way to gauge metallurgical skills.

    In particular handmade self-defense pistols are one of the most sold items in the Machine City and are also used in workshops to test craftsmen.

    Elava also nodded without hesitation as if he knew how to make a self-defense pistol.

    “all right!!”

    Elava responded vigorously and started working immediately.

    It is placed in a furnace where the iron is melted joined together and continuously beaten to create the shape of the part.

    Cut out the details using a grinder trim them assemble them apply oil and load bullets.

    It is one cycle to place the loaded pistol upside down with the handle facing the end of the workbench.

    Lennok was quietly watching Elava working sweating profusely.

    Even Mouser who had said he would not intervene was observing her with quite interest.

    “Whoa…!!”

    Elava who was sweating profusely while cooling the heated iron and assembling the remaining parts turned his gaze.

    “Concentration isn’t bad. “It’s normal not to be able to see the surroundings while you’re working.”

    Mouser stood next to him and helped as if giving advice.

    Elava swallowed his saliva at those words and slowly assembled the pistol parts in order.

    An excellent craftsman should be able to figure out the assembly sequence and principles of equipment without relying on blueprints and parts drawings.

    This is because only designated parts or equipment are handled and maintained on the workbench.

    Elava perhaps aware of this fact put together the parts of the pistol on his own without referring to the drawings.

    Snap!!

    Wiping the sweat off his face he loaded a round into the finished pistol turned the handle upside down and set it down in front of Lennok.

    “….”

    Rather than immediately picking up the pistol and examining it Lennok remained silent.

    Mouser turned to Lennok instead and asked first.

    “I have something I want to say but can I say it first?”

    Without waiting for permission Mouser looked back at Elava with cold eyes.

    “I’m sorry but I think I understand why you couldn’t stay long in the other workshops.”

    Elava’s shoulders trembled at Mouser’s cold voice.

    “There is a subtle discrepancy in force control tempo and balance. “Rhythm is important in striking iron but it seems like you have no sense of it at all.”

    “….”

    Elava could not reply and lowered her head.

    Mouser didn’t pay attention to Elava’s reaction and continued speaking immediately.

    “Design design capabilities What appears on the surface can be refined through experience. If it is difficult you can outsource it. But as far as touching iron you have to do it yourself.”

    “Hmm.”

    Lennok who was still relatively new to the topic of touching iron just cleared his throat without saying a word.

    Mouser clicked his tongue as he looked at Elava who was silent.

    “I wouldn’t say I don’t have qualifications. However if a similar problem had been pointed out in several studios but had not yet been fixed it would have been difficult to hear good sound.”

    On behalf of Elava who couldn’t say anything Lennok picked up the gun she had put down.

    “It’s soft.”

    “…yes?”

    “But one side is also very hard.”

    Lennok spoke without waiting for Elava to respond.

    “The strength of the cartridges that house the magazine is not consistent. As the Mouser craftsman said this is evidence that force cannot be controlled during the work process.”

    “…”

    Looking at Elava who agreed with a dark expression Lennok quietly tapped the surface of the pistol.

    “But on the other hand the appearance and joints of the pistol are well put together. As far as appearance goes there is no flaw. Do you know what this means?”

    “no…?”

    “Apart from force control temperature control to cool harden and shape the iron is done very accurately. It also means that the dexterity of connecting parts organically is excellent.”

    “Now father-in-law….”

    “Isn’t it strange that you have good dexterity and sensitive senses but you are actually unskilled in the senses and power control of striking iron?”

    Lennok said and put his finger on the trigger of the pistol.

    “Having the five senses sensitive means having a wide range of perception and control over the body. Still it’s awkward to not be able to control your senses and strength properly.”

    Lennok said to Elava who was holding the hammer tightly.

    “I think Elava’s physical condition itself is very excellent. “The problem lies completely elsewhere.”

    “…yes?”

    Instead of answering Lennok raised his gun and fired a bullet at the target placed in one corner of the workshop.

    Taang!!

    The bullet flew out with a loud gunshot sound and landed in the right corner of the wall far missing the target.

    “Shall we take another shot?”

    Lennok immediately took out another bullet loaded it into his self-defense pistol pointed it at the target and said.

    “This time we’re going to the bottom left corner.”

    Taang!!

    As the saying goes even though the shot was aimed accurately at the target the bullet left a hole in the left corner of the wall.

    Mouser looked at that and shook his head.

    “There are already bullet marks in the approved attack room… If Narcissa finds out later she will be the flagship.”

    Lennok ignored Mouser’s muttering and opened his mouth again.

    “It doesn’t happen because the force is lopsided. “The barrel which was supposed to be strong has collapsed and is twisting every time you try to shoot.”

    “Then…”

    “Parts that are hit hard will collapse and joints that do not require force will have a high level of perfection. “This is not at a level that can be explained by words such as inability to control strength or lack of sense.”

    Lennok’s eyes shone sharply.

    “It is difficult to pinpoint the exact origin but this seems to be closer to a problem of innate constitution rather than senses.”

    The workshop was immersed in quiet silence.

    Elava asked with a look of bewilderment.

    “Are you saying I have such a strange constitution…?”

    “Did your eating habits or lifestyle patterns differ from others since you were young?”

    “That’s right!!”

    Elava opened her eyes wide.

    “Strangely since I was young I didn’t like vegetables and only liked meat…!!”

    “Maybe it wasn’t just that I was a picky eater….”

    In response to Mouser’s mutterings of absurdity Ebert who had remained silent until now asked.

    “Do you think we can solve it?”

    “no.”

    Lennok shook his head.

    “I’m not a doctor so I can’t be sure about constitutional issues. “I think if you mess with it hastily you could end up in big trouble.”

    “Is that so….”

    “It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take him to a good hospital and check his condition. Isn’t that right Master Mouser?”

    Mouser who received Lennok’s glance belatedly realized the intention behind those words and nodded awkwardly.

    “uh? Uh… uh. yes. “I understand that there is a large general hospital near the upper-level workshop district.”

    “Oh that’s right. “Didn’t we meet together when we went to see Sister Narcissa?”

    “I want to talk to you about him. Would you mind going outside for a moment?”

    “yes?”

    “It’s about Master and Narcissa’s health.”

    “….”

    It was a topic that Ebert who worked in the workshop of Hwadeok Jin-gun could not ignore.

    Ebert’s expression also hardened slightly at Mouser’s serious words.

    “All right. “If it’s just for a moment…”

    “Take it slow.”

    After saying that Lennok turned his gaze towards Elava as soon as Mouser and Ebert left the battle.

    Lennok asked quickly looking at Elava who looked embarrassed.

    “Master Elava. Do you want to know exactly what your problem is?”

    “…yes?”

    “I will help you if you swear not to reveal anything about what you are going to do from now on.”

    Elava looked slightly surprised by Lennok’s calm words but then nodded with a firm expression.

    “…the craftsmen at the workshop were like family to me who had no blood relatives.”

    “….”

    “I want to work as a full-fledged craftsman in a workshop. “If I could…!!”

    “great.”

    After saying that Lennok got up and closed the workshop door tightly.

    Charrrrrrr!!

    At the same time thick curtains are drawn on the studio windows to block the view inside.

    Elava blinked and looked back at Lennok as the space inside the workshop suddenly darkened.

    “What are you doing now…?”

    Before answering Lennok quickly took out various tools including wires and ampoule painkillers from one side of the workbench and neatly lined them up on the workbench.

    “Actually Elava’s problem is not about her constitution. Rather if you only look at his physical condition and strength it is impossible for him to be unable to work as a craftsman.”

    Lennok watched her carefully as she crafted a self-defense pistol from start to finish.

    Lennok who had fought on the front lines with various superhumans and observed and tried to imitate their movements and balance now had a fairly deep understanding of human physical balance and skeleton.

    “The sense of balance and grip strength shown during the process of establishing a posture for developing muscle strength are flawless. Rather it makes me think that it is an artificially created result.”

    Physical and mental talents. You do not necessarily have to have both of these to achieve results.

    Even if only one of the two exceeds the upper limit it is natural to produce results that are above average in most situations.

    So considering Elava’s physical condition and qualifications it was clear that there was another reason for the poor results.

    “It’s a matter of the mind not the body. “There is something so big that it hinders Elava’s talent as a craftsman.”

    Lennok said picking up the wire and inserting it into the inside of his wrist.

    It is connected to Lennok’s ticket hidden under the artificial skin and emits a faint electric current.

    Lennok said as he placed the other end of the wire on the tip of Elava’s wrist.

    “Mental problems that obscure talent. “It is impossible to interfere with the human vessel itself unless it is a powerful prohibition like Geass.”

    “Gi Geass?”

    Elava also opened her eyes wide as if she knew what those words meant.

    “In other words there are memories or information that are important enough to be hidden within Elava’s mind at the cost of suppressing the craftsman’s talents.”

    Lennok’s eyes shone sharply.

    “This is not something an ordinary person can handle.”

    At those words Elava’s shoulders who had been listening to Lennok with a bewildered expression twitched.

    “Are you saying I’m not ordinary?…”

    “We should check that properly from now on.”

    Of course he said this but Lennok was half-convinced that Elava was no ordinary human being.

    ‘Geas that interferes with memory and mind. A prohibition so strong that it destroys and distorts one’s senses. ‘It’s not something an ordinary human mind can withstand.’

    Considering that this is a mechanical city that has reached the pinnacle of magic engineering Elava Atermire is a blood relative of the designer of the Gate of Ascension.

    Or it is highly likely that it is something that was directly touched by the designer Atermire.

    In that case the memories and information she hid while suppressing her talent must be secrets related to the Ascension Gate.

    ‘Ebert said he needed Elava’s help to allow outsiders into the Simseonggwan.’

    Lennok’s eyes calmly sank as he connected the connector to Elava’s ticket.

    ‘The fact that the bloodline of the designer of the Gate of Ascension is needed to open the Mind Pass means that there is a strong connection between the two concepts.’

    The Mind Hall where treasures including relics from the old world are stored and the Ascension Gate which was called the Machina Supreme Project but failed.

    It is no wonder at this point that the two concepts are not very different but intertwined.

    I’ve already thought about what to do.

    After connecting Lennok and Elava’s tickets use him as a medium to observe Elava’s spirit directly from the outside.

    Through him we can artificially lift Geass and extract Atermire’s memories and information hidden beyond it.

    Without hesitation Lennok injected magical energy into the wire connecting the wrists of the two people.
