Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 954

The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 954

Forbidden (9)

Duris Workshop located in the middle of Hudderfield Forest.

An arcane workshop that produces and sells artifacts, and a prestigious production shop that has been awarded the title and title of Atelier.

Lennok was walking with a guide in the middle of the vast lobby hall where guests were greeted.

“….”

Lance and shield. Rings, necklaces, badges and cloaks. All kinds of accessories and equipment hang on the walls of the workshop, emitting a brilliant light.

Colorful magic flashed and spun around the artifact, showing off how useful and powerful it was.

Shoot!!

In the fountain located in the center of the lobby, a living water spirit is holding a jar and flowing water.

A steel warhorse whose entire body is made of fire snorts as if it is alive in the corner of the workshop.

A huge dinosaur fossil moved slowly while on display hanging from the ceiling of the workshop.

Even for Lennok, who has acquired countless Noble Phantasms and has been manufacturing and repairing them, there are many sights he is seeing for the first time.

Even Lennok was distracted by looking at the workshop for a moment, so what about other people?

“A ring with the Flame Ghost engraving. That’s 580 million cells.”

“Shadow Cloak. 307.75 million cells. “VAT is separate.”

“The immortality of Elizaine. 4.8 billion cells. Please note that only cash transactions are possible.”

The guide, who was waiting with a nervous look, immediately explained the abilities and prices whenever Lennok caught his gaze.

However, Lennok’s expression as he listened to the guide’s explanation seemed unimpressed.

“….”

A distinguished guest whom Meister Elvato Duris personally asked to serve.

There is no doubt that he is a very important customer within the workshop.

I’m sure the artifacts on display here are collectors with very high standards, so much so that they don’t even meet the standards.

With that in mind, the guide became even more enthusiastic and continued explaining the artifacts produced in the workshop.

Phew!

Customers who came to the workshop later than Lennok passed the lobby hall at regular intervals and disappeared.

Some people were watching Lennok with meaningful eyes, while others were ignoring him and talking to the trader.

“We have contacted you as the protective lenses you ordered have been completed.”

“Not bad. Is it okay if the transaction method is in kind this time as well?”

“yes. “I made them in the shape of glasses like before, so try them on first…”

Although the conversation continued quietly, Lennok knew that such people were the workshop’s core customers.

There are countless famous artifacts and items in this world.

What’s special about Arcane Workshop is that you can custom-create artifacts with the abilities you want.

Powerful artifacts are useful in many ways, but on the other hand, their abilities are also well-known.

However, the artifacts entrusted to the workshop to be custom-made are treasures whose abilities are known and hidden only by the meister and the customer themselves.

That is why prestigious royal families and elites from the continent visit the workshop, produce the items they want, and then leave.

“….”

He stops the embarrassed receptionist and watches the transactions going on secretly around the workshop.

This is because there was one final step left to verify the facts seen and heard through the ledger.

“You’ve waited a long time.”

Not long after, Elvato appeared in front of Lennok holding dozens of drawings.

It looks as if it has been wandering around somewhere for a very long time.

He put down the stack of drawings he was holding in his hand, looking tired, and said while wiping his sweat.

“It took a little longer than I thought. “Among the design drawings my father left behind, not many are complete…”

“Don’t worry, you can wait as long as you want.”

Lennok answered.

“I don’t plan on going back without checking it here.”

A memory from the past when Oshuto Duris traded his son’s life with a church priestess.

After searching the Duris workshop’s ledgers, Lennoc confirmed that the person who promoted the transaction was Kaise Bajur.

However, the ledger at the time did not indicate exactly what equipment was manufactured and handed over.

Therefore, Elvato went alone into the warehouse where equipment design drawings were collected and retrieved the design drawings of the equipment that Oshuto had produced at the time.

“First of all, I brought all the blueprints that match the serial numbers written in the ledger…”

said Elvato, flipping through the blueprints.

“The blueprint serial numbers are different depending on the year of production, so I think I need to find the right blueprint among them.”

“Is this to prevent design drawings from being identified only by looking at the ledger?”

“Many of the items made in our workshop are made of valuable parts…”

Elvato explained as he nodded his head as if he had no shame and flipped through the drawings.

“Still, as the number of parts and materials used is set, finding the drawing itself will not be difficult.”

“Right.”

“I’ll check it out right away, so please wait a little… By the way, was there an artifact you liked?”

Elvato asked, gesturing to the guide and taking his seat.

“We are willing to give priority to artifacts made in our workshop.”

“Is there any need for sponsorship?”

“It’s a personal act of gratitude.”

Elvato shook his head.

“How could I try to gain personal advantage from the person who helped my father?”

“We should discuss it later.”

Lennok crossed his arms and nodded.

“watching.”

“….”

Just as he said, other customers who recognized Elvato were looking at him with surprised expressions.

Rather than hearing the conversation between the two, it was probably because the Meister was curious about who the distinguished guest was that he had personally come to meet.

People were watching Lennok closely for a moment, but soon they looked away, pretending not to notice.

Customers who come to order custom-made artifacts are aware of the fact that they must be sensitive to maintaining confidentiality.

Elbato then smiled awkwardly and nodded.

“All right. “Then come this way.”

Lennok followed Elvato to a corner of the lobby next to the production table.

The seat right next to the customer who was adjusting his glasses that Lennok had seen in passing earlier.

I glanced to the side, but he seemed to be busy talking to the trader in charge of him.

“….”

“Wizard. “I found it.”

While Lennok was lost in thought with an expressionless face, Elvato immediately pulled out a blueprint.

“Because the number of parts used was small, we were able to quickly determine the design.”

“The number of parts is small?”

“yes. Let’s see. “Unexpectedly…”

Elbato, who hesitated slightly, muttered.

“…It’s a very simple part.”

Hearing Elvato’s somewhat puzzled words, Lennok also immediately lowered his gaze to the blueprint.

A record of the day when the Guido Church and Oshto Duris traded artifacts.

A single room with a blueprint for the traded artifact along with the date and reward for the transaction.

A trade item that Kaise Bajur requested custom-made and entrusted to the church to receive.

And the moment Lennok checked the blueprint, he felt a strange feeling and fell silent.

“…What is this?”

Spiral-curved concentric circles were drawn in the blueprint.

It has a strange appearance that looks like a long iron wire wrapped in a circle and pressed flat.

Although complex ancient characters are engraved on the surface of the thin iron wire, the shape itself is quite simple.

It is too small to be an artifact, but relatively large to be a part of some device.

“It’s not a universally used part. “It’s an item that could only be used in very sophisticated equipment…” Even

Lennok, who had worked with many artifacts while working as a craftsman in the machine city of Machina, had never seen this type of part for the first time.

However, Elvato seemed to know the identity of the part as soon as he saw the blueprint.

“It’s a spring used in clocks.”

“…Clock spring?”

“It is used to press a thin iron wire flat, wrap it around, and attach it to a watch wheel.”

Elvato nodded.

Elvato coughed lightly as if trying to pour out his knowledge and then coughed up an explanation again.

“It is one of the parts mainly used in mechanical watches. When a clock operates, the wheel vibrates at a certain cycle, and the specific principle is clear-”

“Please summarize in one word.”

“yes. This is the part that controls the movement of the second hand of the watch.”

Lennoc, who cut off Elvato’s words as he tried to lengthen his explanation, stopped after hearing the unexpected conclusion.

“…The movement of the second hand?”

Does this mean that the artifact handed over through a deal with the church is not a weapon or a type of weapon of war, but a simple accessory of a watch?

It is surprising that Oshuto Duris created such an item, but it is also surprising that the items used in the transaction with the priestess were only parts.

“yes. I don’t often call out the names of the parts separately, but the correct name is definitely-”

And Lennok’s thoughts were swept away by the next words Elvato mentioned.

“I know it’s quicksand…”

“….”

There was silence.

Lennok stopped as if frozen, and Elvato looked embarrassed, wondering if he had made a mistake.

“I may be wrong, but…”

“It’s the part that moves the second hand of the clock…”

Lennok muttered, quietly looking at the part.

“That’s what it was.”

“…Wizard?”

With just those words, Lennok was able to understand why Kaise Bajur’s name was written here.

Magic particle radiation exposure incident that occurred in a closed area. Memories of the past encountered at the center.

The end of someone who passed over his image and disappeared for Lennok.

The last of Kaise, who chose to disappear by riding on the second hand of the clock at the end of the Great Resurrection Period….

Quicksand. The part that moves the second hand of a clock.

Lennok already knew about the man who lived a life like a part of a watch.

In addition, how the word quicksand is used by those left behind.

“It’s a lunar eclipse of quicksand….”

“….”

The moment when coincidence and inevitability met in the memory of Ascension.

Lennok still remembers what they talked about back then.

The moment when the concept of nadir is overturned. When the abolition ceremony approaches.

The lunar eclipse of quicksand as mentioned by the leader and leader.

If the word quicksand itself refers to Kaise Bajour.

Then, it is definitely a lunar eclipse.

Kaise Bajur’s win –

“Oh my.”

A calm voice echoed from the seat next to Lennok.

“Do you mind if I reveal such an important secret?”

dump!

At that moment, employees and customers walking through the lobby of the workshop began to fall unconscious.

Like a doll whose strings have been cut, it collapses as if it has lost the power to support its body.

“uh…?”

Elvato, who was sitting across from Lennok, slowly closes his eyes and slowly puts his head down on the production table.

As if unable to overcome the pouring sleep, I lost the strength to resist and lowered my head.

The workers who were busy walking around and the craftsmen who were playing with their hands on the workbench for a while.

All the spirits and mechanical equipment that guarded the area around the workshop lost consciousness like living creatures.

The moment when only Lennok was left in the middle of the workshop where everything had become quiet.

“You have to be careful.”

The young man sitting next to him was resting his chin and smiling at Lennok.

I lifted my gaze and brushed the frame of the glasses I had just adjusted.

“In a place like this, it’s not surprising if someone is secretly listening.”

“….”

A miracle that paralyzed the entire arcane workshop run by the Meister, as if putting it to sleep in an instant.

It wasn’t a technique or use of power.

Simply by revealing your thoughts in this space and time and showing your true self.

Regardless of whether they were humans or superhumans, everyone was unable to overcome the intimidation and collapsed.

It is close to a defense mechanism that shuts down one’s sense organs and consciousness when one is swept away by an immeasurable amount of information.

It was a coincidence that a monster who could do such ridiculous things with just a few words was sitting right next to me.

So it wasn’t a coincidence.

“I really want to ask.”

Lennok calmly looked away and asked the bespectacled young man.

The face, appearance, and physique are different from what I remembered.

Because I was already sure that he was here.

“Why are you here?”

Maximum power symbolizing the power of the Guido Church.

A resourceful person who stands at the head of the cult and is praised as the most perfect incarnation of all dogs.

A monster who invaded the machine city of Machina alone and massacred the Supreme Council.

The Second Apostle was sitting next to Lennok.
