Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Episode 625
Mysterious Consultant (3)
“… … Are you saying that one of my disciples secretly touched the brazier?”
The complexion of the flagship Cyberd hardened as if he had heard the words he entered.
“All of the guys gathered here are the guys I picked out and raised by looking at the bowls myself. After all, they are like my own children.”
“… … .”
“If I cannot take responsibility for those words today, I will have to personally apologize to the students in my studio. Got it?”
“Okay, so would you mind stopping the work and calling the master’s students?”
Lennok nodded.
“It would be quicker to see all the faces at once and draw conclusions.”
At those words, Syberd immediately stopped the operation of the workshop and called other artisans in front of Lennok.
It is no wonder that the expressions of the artisans who were called in after seeking understanding from the bewildered guests and working hard in the middle of the day were not good.
Craftsmen of various ages, both young and old, all look at Lenok with a displeased expression.
“So, is there a culprit among us?”
The oldest-looking father-in-law asked Lennok sarcasticly.
Several of the other young artisans did not hide their displeasure at Lennok.
“Looking at it now, he was a nerd at the selection ceremony who was recently promoted to a higher-level workshop.”
“Borrowing the name of craftsman Narcissa Solmer isn’t enough, are you trying to reach out to Master’s workshop now?”
“It’s ridiculous. This studio is everything to me, how can you doubt us… … ”
Despite the cold reactions from all over the place, Lennok quietly raised his hand.
“Would you please come out in a line and line up in front of me?”
“what?”
“I must be careful to identify the culprit. I would like to make comparisons under the same conditions as much as possible.”
“… … .”
The artisans put on an angry expression, but when Cyberd, standing behind Lennok, nodded, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut and stand neatly.
Lennok walked slowly in front of the artisans, closed his eyes and nodded slowly.
Far from taking a closer look at the artisans, Lennok closed his eyes and walked down the street, not only Cyberd but also Mouser put on a puzzled expression.
After 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 the words, Lenok opened his eyes and nodded, looking away.
“All right. That should be enough.”
“Okay, can I hear your explanation now?”
“As you can see, the five furnaces located here in the workshop are scattered throughout the walls, but the flow of heat itself is shared through the facilities inside the workshop.”
Lennok said in the quiet workshop.
“It is a structure in which hot air vents organically connected to five furnaces circulate through the workshop ceiling, walls, and basement to control and manage the firepower.”
“yes.”
“The problem is that the structure of the passage that controls the firepower is too complicated because there are too many furnaces.”
Saying that, Lennok placed a pen on a piece of paper near the workbench and began drawing casually.
A bizarre shape, as if hundreds of spider webs stretched out from the center of the huge workshop.
“The structure itself is intricately intertwined because the outlets are pulled out to as many places as possible to control the firepower inside the designated space.”
“hmm… … .”
Said Cyberd, who was glaring at the paper Lenok held out with his brow furrowed.
“So this is my workshop? You don’t seem to be very good at drawing.”
“… … .”
It is impossible to express it clearly with Lennok’s poor drawing skills, but it is unavoidable as the priority is to make them understand the situation.
“That’s why it’s difficult to quantitatively measure the heat control value of each outlet, and it’s difficult to spot problems by observing even if there is a part where the value jumps.”
said Lennok, who tapped the furnace wall.
“The culprit was probably well aware of the internal environment of this furnace and knew that even if something went wrong with the furnace and the internal temperature rose little by little, it would be difficult to find the cause.”
“This is only possible if you know the environment inside the furnace… … .”
Cyberd frowned, muttered along Lennok’s words, then shook his head.
“No, if any of my students had deliberately tried to ruin my workshop, there would have been far more effective methods than this. There is no reason to use such a cumbersome method like this.”
Raising the internal temperature of the furnace little by little to damage the quality of the products made in the workshop is an important issue, but there
are many other means that could damage the sales or business of this huge workshop right now.
Even more so, if the culprit were disciples who were living with Cyberd and were familiar with the facilities inside the workshop, it would be much easier to destroy facilities other than the furnace.
“In my workshop, these five furnaces are the most durable and frequently maintained key facilities. Even for me, it is impossible unless I forcibly overload the furnace using my system internal management authority, and that will take much longer than three days.”
Perhaps having already concluded that Lennok’s judgment was completely wrong, Cyberd took a seat opposite Lennok and quickly began to explain.
“If, as you said, the disciples were the culprits, they would have used their hands in such a way as to steal the cornerstone of the workshop instead of touching the furnace.”
However, Lennok meekly nodded despite what Cyberd said.
“That’s what made it difficult to determine the cause of the problem.”
“what?”
“The culprit did not do this to ruin the workshop. However, he thought that it would not matter if the workshop was damaged if it was for his own purpose. There is a very big difference between these two.”
“… … .”
“That person had a reason to touch the furnace, not the other facilities of the workshop.”
Did you mean that it wasn’t that you had a grudge against Cyberd or that you wanted to ruin the battle, but that it was just a secondary result for another purpose?
As the others slowly reflected on the meaning, Lennok took something out of his arms.
“An ultra-high flame that can only be maintained in a workshop like this. Nevertheless, a serious anomaly to the extent that the temperature rises even higher. How much more do you think it means that this cause itself has not been found anywhere else?”
“Wait a minute. Touching the hearth… … !!”
Whoop!!
Lennok laughed, throwing something resembling powder into the roaring brazier before the other artisans had time to dry it.
“It was because the cause of the problem itself existed in the furnace.”
“For an outsider to dare touch the flames of the furnace… … !!”
The young disciple, who fired in a furious tone, jumped up and charged at Lennok.
The image of the craftsman striding up and stretching his hand towards Lennok as if he were about to grab Lennok by the collar and beat him up at any moment.
Everyone saw him and opened their eyes wide for a moment, but Lennok only looked at the young man with a sullen expression.
The moment Cyberd tried to dissuade him from the bloody expression of a young man who could have pushed Lennok into the furnace just by looking at his momentum.
Whoop!!
The young man passed Lennok without grabbing him.
“… … ?”
It was such a natural move that the hostility towards Lennok a moment ago felt like a lie.
The moment the other disciples opened their mouths slightly, unable to understand the young man’s actions, the young man sped up and started running like crazy.
The disciples jumped up from their seats, realizing that the direction was inside the flames of the brazier Lennok had just touched.
“Bo Boyan!!”
“You crazy bastard, where are you going!!”
“Stop that bastard who is determined to die… … !!”
Before the other disciples followed and stopped the young man called Boyan, the flames from inside the furnace hit Boyan.
Roaring!!
“Cheukhak!!”
“It’s hot… … !!”
The other disciples freaked out and backed away, looking back at the Cyberd with bewildered expressions.
“Master, why is Boyan… … !!”
“wait.”
Said Cyberd, staring into the flames of the furnace with a sharp expression.
“Because it doesn’t look like it’s over yet.”
At that moment, a middle-aged man with a shaggy beard walked out of the flames carrying the struggling young man.
Whoaaaaaa!!!
“Whoa… … !! It bothers me anyway.”
Mouser, his shaggy beard scorched, grumbled, and Boyan, held on his shoulder, struggled madly.
“Let go of this!!!”
“hate.”
Mouser responded by throwing Boyan, who was still carrying him, to the floor.
thud!!
“Cheukhak!!”
Boyan, who was blown away by the shock, opened his eyes wide and barely let out a breath.
The appearance of Boyan, who was trembling and unable to get up while holding his stomach.
Even though he must have been training for a long time as a craftsman in the cyberd workshop, it seemed that he couldn’t stand up to Mouser’s strength.
“… … .”
Cyberd got up from his seat and looked at Boyan in silence.
Boyan couldn’t even look up properly at his teacher’s face, let alone make eye contact.
After staring at Boyan for a long time, Cyberd sighed and turned his head.
“… … Now I know who touched the furnace and raised the temperature.”
His gaze was on Lennok, who stood silently leaning over the fire.
“So now tell me all about why this happened.”
The other disciples also realized the true nature of what Lennok had just done and held their breath in silence.
Lennok had just thrown something unknown into the furnace, and he had really succeeded in finding the culprit he was talking about.
He even recognized that the criminal would move with his own actions, and even saved Boyan by having Mouser on standby in advance.
It is absolutely impossible without understanding the whole series of events and figuring out the cause just by looking around the studio for a while.
With just a few repetitions of meaningless actions that he thought were nonsense, Lennok really proved his point.
“It is. It seems like we have a little time left before we can show it to you.”
Lennok put on a thoughtful expression at the words of Cyberd, then nodded and stood up.
“Since I heard that the temperature in the studio is rising, I have not thought of any other cause other than the furnace. The only reason that can raise the temperature of this huge workshop little by little is that heat source in the first place.”
Saying that, Lennok looked around at the scenery of the workshop around him.
“If you look at the workshop now, there are one more brazier installed on each of the four walls, but two braziers coexist on one wall only on the north-facing side.”
“that… … .”
“If we had in mind to install more furnaces, we would have increased the walls of the studio from the beginning or changed the structure. This proves that there is a reason to urgently add another furnace for some reason.”
said Lennok.
“The reason why the temperature in the workshop gradually decreased when there were four furnaces, but now it is gradually rising with five furnaces. It would be rather strange if there was no secret hiding in the change.”
“… … We were well aware of the changes caused by the number of furnaces.”
Cyberd answered.
“However, even if 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 in other parts of the workshop, not in the furnace… … .”
“As I said before, the number of furnaces is not the problem. The change in time between the increase of the number of furnaces from four to five. The difference was just changing the temperature in the studio.”
said Lennok, reaching casually into the flames that burst out of the furnace.
“That is because from the beginning, it was not possible to observe the cause of the rise in temperature inside the furnace in a physical way.”
“Wait a minute… … !!”
“It’s time to crawl out… … Here you are.”
The moment Cyberd reached out his hand in bewilderment at the sight of Lennok putting his hand into the flames with his bare hands.
Fire!!
Lennok grabbed something from inside the flames without hesitation and yanked it away.
iron!!
The elongated torso struggling like a living fish in Lennok’s hand the moment it was caught and dragged out from inside the furnace.
It was only then that the eyes of the other artisans who finally saw it with their own eyes opened wide.
“That one… … !!!”
[Shhsssssssssssssssit!!!]
A scaled lizard that flicks its tongue and flaps its legs.
The scales that make up the body of the lizard are made of burning flames, and the blue flames are burning softly at the tip of the tail.
An essence that is closer to a spiritual body and attributes than to exist in a clearly defined form.
Cyberd, who belatedly noticed the identity of the lizard, muttered involuntarily.
“… … government ordinance.”
“That’s right.”
Saying that, Lennok grabbed the lizard by the tail and lifted it up.
“A spirit born with the attribute of fire. It is said that they are born in strong flames and grow up eating heat and flames.”
“… … .”
“Especially, I heard that these lizard-shaped spirits have dull senses and have a strong appetite, so they eat a lot of food while sitting.”
“Right. That’s what it was… … .”
Cyberd, who now understood the cause and motive of all this, muttered blankly.
“I guess Boyan became an Elementalist.”
“Master… … .”
“Perhaps Boyan got hold of the spirit before the fifth furnace was built. But he never knew how much food he would have to feed to control the voracious spirit.”
Boyan looked at the Cyberd helplessly, but Lennok ignored Boyan’s gaze and continued.
“That’s why I decided to raise this spirit in the hearth of the workshop instead of throwing it away.”
The lizard, which had been flapping away from the flames for a long time, was drooping and biting its tongue as if it had lost all its strength.
“At first, it must have been just hiding in the furnace and consuming the metallurgical heat.”
Lennok looked at the lizard with interest and said,
“However, as time passed and the size of the spirit itself began to grow stronger, the heat of the furnace began to rise as well.”
“Is that why the temperature in the studio didn’t go down even after one furnace was turned off…?” … .”
When the fire spirit was young, it only consumed heat from the surroundings, so the temperature of the furnace must have dropped little by little.
However, as the spirit gradually grew and grew stronger and began to emit more heat than it ate, the temperature of the furnace began to rise.
Even if one of the five furnaces was stopped, the temperature in the workshop would have already risen with the power of the spirit.
The other artisans also writhed in agitation as if they immediately understood Lennok’s explanation.
“Nonsense… … .”
“How on earth did you think the spirits were a problem in this city?”
“From the first time I heard the explanation, I thought the number of furnaces would not be a problem.”
Lennok replied.
“I thought that if the temperature went down depending on the season and then went up all the time, it would be similar to that of a living creature, not a workshop… … .”
When I threw the drooping spirit in front of Boyan, Boyan carefully picked up the lizard’s body and hugged it.
Lennok smiled as he met Boyan’s gaze, looking up at him with the childlike gaze of an enemy.
“There are not too many beings who can and must live in a furnace.”
