Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Episode 624

Mysterious Consultant (2)

“That’s right… … .”

Only then did the craftsman nod his head with a confused expression.

“I rather don’t understand that you guys didn’t know that fact until now. Don’t you know exactly why I came?”

“Perhaps the master of Narcissa designated the type of business while incorporating us into the high-level workshop district.”

Mouser frowned at Lennok’s words.

“You mean Narcissa decided what to do without asking our wishes? It’s not until that level of dogmatism that this situation is explained… … .”

Mouser blurted out his grievances about Narcissa, but kept his mouth shut.

Is it because he thought that there was no need to see the evil of his comrade lying in a hospital bed after passing the risk of death?

But Lennok shook his head as he pondered Mouser’s words.

“Given the personality of Narcissa’s father-in-law, it’s not likely. If he really meant to make us do this, he would have tried to get a confirmation from me right there and then.”

“That’s true, but… … .”

“The fact that such a customer came even after Narcissa’s father-in-law fell into a coma means that the story of consulting was leaked to the workshop district in advance.”

said Lennok.

“Perhaps we made an excuse by choosing a rather unique industry as a justification for incorporating our workshop into the upper class workshop district.”

It is unreasonable to be promoted directly from a lower-level workshop district to a higher-level workshop district just by achieving excellent results in the selection ceremony.

It would not be an impossible story if, in the process, he insisted on adding a unique industry compared to Lennok’s ability in order to appropriately add the justification necessary for the promotion.

As if to support Lennok’s speculation, the father-in-law who had been quietly listening to him nodded.

“that’s right. The manager of Solmer said at the workshop meeting that he was planning to promote a new workshop as a welfare for the artisans.”

“… … Huh great… … .”

Perhaps the fact that Lennok’s intuitive guess was quite close to the correct answer seemed quite unfamiliar.

Lennok answered, ignoring Mouser’s gaze, which curiously glanced at his side.

“I wonder if it was the intention to leave the industry that way only nominally and let the workshop itself run freely. In the process, the father-in-law of Narcissa fell into a coma, and it seems that communication between the front and back did not work properly.”

Ebert, who acted as Narcissa’s assistant and became the manager of the upper workshop district, did not hear anything from her, so he just carried out the work as it was.

Because I didn’t know the specific circumstances or history, things got twisted like this in the process.

It was only then that the father-in-law, who understood Lenok’s words, sighed slightly displeased.

“So in the end, you guys only came here with the protection of Narcissa’s father-in-law. Are you saying that you cannot accept my consultation?”

“… … .”

“Yeah, but… … .”

Mouser cleared his throat belatedly and took control of the situation.

“We haven’t heard anything about the matter either. I think we’ll have to look into the specific circumstances after Narcissa wakes up and returns.”

“Grunt… … .”

The father-in-law also frowned as if he was disapproving, but eventually he nodded as if he had accepted the situation.

“I get it. I know very well how strict Narcissa that woman is. You guys must have been caught up in that dogma too.”

Was it because of Narcissa’s strict personality that she unexpectedly gained sympathy?

Contrary to the rough attitude at the beginning, Mouser also nodded at the attitude of the craftsman who was quite cooperative.

“exactly. Let’s talk again later when Narcissa is back to health.”

“Whoa damn it… … I was wondering if I could fix the problem this time… … .”

The back of the artisan as he sighs and walks out of the workshop.

Lennok looked at the father-in-law and continued talking as if he had suddenly remembered.

“I never said a word about not accepting the job.”

“… … what?”

“half?”

Craftsman and Mouser both turned their heads in surprise almost simultaneously.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Lennok slowly stood up from the workbench.

“Didn’t you say that it was consulting about the operation of public classes?”

Lennok, who stretched out with a languid expression, smiled and nodded at his father-in-law.

“Since the relocation of the internal facilities is almost complete, let’s go and do a field trip. Are you okay?”

* * *

“What the hell is Van thinking?”

A neat high-class workshop district.

The sidewalk blocks on the streets close to footsteps are neatly cleaned, with not a single broken part visible, and even a grain of cement.

A neat and orderly landscape, completely different from the lower-class workshop districts, which were sloppy somewhere.

Mouser, who was walking behind his father-in-law, grabbed Lennok by the shoulder and whispered in a low voice.

“It’s not that I don’t understand that friend’s circumstances, but what is the reason for us to provide such consulting?”

Although the relocation of the workshop’s internal facilities is almost complete, there is still work to be done.

Of course, you need to check the necessary equipment and the firepower of the furnace, and make sure that the internal facilities and power are working and supplying smoothly.

As you have just arrived at the high-end workshop area and settled down, shouldn’t you open the business as soon as possible so that other customers can recognize this workshop?

In the meantime, going beyond receiving requests from other craftsmen and consulting on workshop management was a decision that Mouser could not understand with his common sense.

But even after hearing Mouser’s words, Lennok still shook his head.

“It’s not without reason. At least not to the point of not even trying.”

“… … According to what you said, isn’t Narcissa only registering different types of business to properly fit the cause? You know that, but you’re going to adapt to the industry that Narcissa has decided?”

“Wouldn’t it be better if it would benefit me?”

Lennok asked and looked around.

“The gaze felt from this distance is quite strong. Rather than being wary of outsiders, they know that we are the new masters of the workshop.”

“… … .”

As he said, every time Lennok passed by, his eyes grew stronger, and he could see the curtains on the studio windows closing.

It’s hard to notice if you’re not conscious, but the air is undoubtedly subtly changing around the party.

Lennok neatly cut off their gaze and spoke again.

“According to Artisan Ebert, it is highly likely that the artisans here do not view us very well. In fact, doesn’t that craftsman also think of us as half parachutes?”

“that… … .”

“Originally, Narcissa’s father-in-law would personally protect us and deal with this backlash, but due to the assassination attempt, there is no Narcissa’s father-in-law and only his decision remains.”

Saying that, Lennok looked up at the craftsman’s workshop in the distance.

“In other words, in order to work properly in this high-end workshop district, we also have to try to survive on our own.”

“… … Is that the consulting for workshop management you mentioned?”

“There is no reason to do business only with the residents of the Machine City.”

Lennok laughed.

“If possible, wouldn’t it be possible to have craftsmen from the same workshop as customers?”

If Lennok succeeds in this job, he will be able to build a good relationship while doing business with artisans who run the same studio.

As the artisans who stay in this high-end workshop are usually masters with proven skills and talents, they must also hear a lot of news from here and there.

Lennok knew early on that even here he had a means to uncover the secrets of the Machine City.

“Hey, I still don’t know… … .”

Saying that, Mouser sighed and raised his gaze.

“I wonder why Narcissa registered as an industry for workshop operation… … .”

“Looking back on the lessons that Narcissa craftsmen first came to my studio and laid out, most of them were related to the arrangement or operation of internal facilities.”

Recalling his memory, Lennok explained.

“Perhaps it was because the artisan of Narcissa himself had a great interest in running the workshop.”

At that moment, the craftsman, who had been walking without rest in front of the two, stopped.

“Everything has arrived.”

The look of the artisan who throws a horse and looks back at a glance.

However, Lennok and Mouser, on the other hand, shut their mouths when they saw the appearance of the workshop in front of them.

Chi profit!!

Booo!!

A large workshop that is large in size.

It was because acrid smoke was rising from dozens of pipes rising on the roof and alarms were ringing incessantly.

The customers who come and go non-stop in the workshop and the staff selling products among them mix, shouting and exchanging lively negotiations.

“Let’s go inside and talk.”

The craftsman said so and immediately led the two into the studio.

kkang kkang kkang!!

The heat that fills the workshop and the steam that rises as water is constantly poured.

The shouts of artisans pounding hammers on the workbench intersect, and at times, a hazy smoke covers the eyes.

The shape of the equipment that is continuously smelted, maintained, and extracted from a total of five furnaces.

While Mouser couldn’t take his eyes off him, Lennok walked without hesitation to the artisan’s lounge located at the far end of the studio.

“Come to think of it, it was too late. It is called Cyberd.”

“… … Cyberd?”

As Mouser faintly frowned upon hearing the name, Lennoch also named it.

“This is Lyman.”

“Didn’t that friend call you half?”

“It’s a shortened name among friends.”

At the beginning of the artisan work, there is confusion because it started as a class and was changed to Lyman by Isabella’s executive officer.

But Lennok responded calmly, not expressing such thoughts at all.

Cyberd was also not very interested in the question, so he immediately brought the topic to the main topic.

“Then let’s talk right away about what I want to discuss. As you can see, my studio is doing quite well even around the globe.”

Cyberd, who calmly boasted that his business was going well, soon frowned.

“It went well, so I had a few disciples and set up a business outside the workshop. The problem is that the environment inside the studio is getting worse and worse these days.”

At Cyberd’s words, Mouser and Lennok simultaneously faced each other.

“It still doesn’t look very good.”

“… … .”

A scene inside the workshop where acrid smoke and heat rise at the same time to harass people.

The faces of the people who desperately continue the negotiations while sweating profusely do not look very pleasant.

However, Cyberd shook his head at Lennok’s words.

“It’s not on that level. The temperature inside the workshop continues to rise little by little. As a master craftsman, this is a fatal problem that should never be overlooked.”

It is very important to keep the temperature inside the studio at an appropriate level as you deal with metals and equipment that are sensitive to heat.

Installing vents inside and outside the brazier and decorating the inside of the workshop to ensure good ventilation is also an extension of such work.

“I installed additional vents on the roof of the studio and forcibly lowered the firepower of the furnace, but it didn’t work out at all.”

“… … Was that why there was a bunch of pipes on the roof of the workshop?”

“I asked my classmates for advice, but they talk bullshit about drinking moderately.”

“… … .”

“I heard that Narcissa’s father-in-law recommended you for a consulting business, so I went to your workshop to see if I could solve it.”

“Um… … .”

Cyberd said in a strong tone about the troubled Lennok.

“If you solve this problem, I will give you a few lucrative commissions for your workshop, and I will introduce you to other artisans as well.”

“… … .”

“I will do my best to help you settle down in the advanced workshop district. I promise in the name of my father-in-law.”

When there was no answer, the Cyberd, who seemed slightly impatient, spoke again.

It seemed to be a matter of great importance to him.

“It’s not a big deal, but… … .”

After saying that, Lennok got up from his chair and pointed at the door.

“I would like to take a look inside the workshop first. Are you okay?”

* * *

After that, Lennok checked all over the facility, including the workshop workbench, the roof of the ventilation shaft, and the warehouse, guided by Cyberd.

Cyberd was strict with his apprentices, so whenever he appeared, even the artisans who were working diligently on their work seemed to be extremely nervous.

There were customers who occasionally greeted him, but he only nodded with a sullen look.

After circling the workshop, Cyberd immediately looked away and asked Lennok.

“How can I see something?”

“… … .”

said Lennok, who was still in thought.

“There are five furnaces.”

“yes.”

One on each side of the wall of the huge studio. And on the north-facing wall, two furnaces are installed in a row.

Two or more artisans per furnace, busy working in front of each furnace.

Didn’t Lennok and Mouser work together without problems even with one furnace?

It was proof that the size of the cyberd’s workshop was enormous.

“Even a large workshop usually does not have more than three furnaces.”

“Is that a problem?”

Cyberd said with a slightly disappointed expression.

“It can’t be. It was two years ago that we increased the number of furnaces to five, and the temperature control worked smoothly until at least a month ago.”

As it is the largest facility that emits heat in the workshop, Cyberd also checked the furnace first.

Lower the temperature of the furnace, check the ventilation, call a furnace facility management company, and disassemble it right in front of your eyes.

“There was a time when a single furnace stopped working for three days. Still, the temperature does not go down.”

Cyberd let out a deep sigh.

“If you couldn’t find a problem, that was it. You made me go a long way now stop… … .”

“Before increasing the number of furnaces to five.”

Lennok interrupted him.

“Has there ever been a situation where the temperature in the workshop has gone down before?”

“… … .”

As if hearing an unexpected question, Cyberd’s eyes widened instantly.

“That’s right. To be precise, the heat of the furnace itself had withered, so I had to make another furnace rather overdoing it. how do you… … .”

“That was it. I think I know now.”

“You think you know the problem?”

Lennok nodded at Cyberd, who hurriedly asked back.

“It is not that the temperature inside the workshop rises and falls because of the number of furnaces. It is a matter of when the furnace was built.”

“What the hell is that… … .”

“It is true that the furnace was the cause, but it is highly likely that the furnace was not the root cause of this incident.”

Saying that, Lennok averted his gaze.

“Someone who knows as much about this workshop facility as the artisan did it secretly.”

Cyberd’s expression hardened at Lennok’s gesture, pointing to the images of Cyberd’s students busy working in front of the five-pronged furnace.

“The culprit is inside.”
