Legend

There it is.

Ray sees the building ahead of him... and checks out the Jarlis Workshop to calm him down.

One of the reasons for the relief was that something like the Jarris Workshop was attacked by someone at Dolan Workshop, as Ray was worried about.

The Jarris Workshop didn't look particularly disturbed and stood there quietly.

Of course, there is no denying the possibility that someone skilled in the art, alone or in a small number, is entering the Jarris Workshop and targeting Roger.

I can't deny it, but it was Ray's prediction that it would probably not be the case in the present situation.

"Then we need to get to the Jarris workshop so I can't find him.If you're not reaching out to Roger, who's connected to me in this situation, it's possible I'm waiting for him to show up at the Jarlis workshop. "

As he murmured to himself, Ray approached the Jarris workshop using the shadow of the building to be careful not to see from the surroundings.

Naturally, Ray is as clear as possible and never so easy to find.

As a result, Ray arrived safely at the Jarris Workshop without being attacked by anyone in particular.

(Is that it? There wasn't anyone of that kind... maybe there wasn't anybody there?No, but... is that possible?)

It was Ray who had such doubts, but in fact, there were no particular signs of people around Jarlis Workshop.

Or is it an artisan or a magic item that Ray can't even perceive?

I thought so, but Ray had such an expectation that the latter would have unlimited possibilities for the former anyway.

In that case, the most suspicious thing would be magic items.

Many magic items have unexpected effects for Ray.

Magic items, especially those found in dungeons, are often over-technologic in today's world, starting with paired orbs.

And this Ex-Jinnis is a city where the Golem industry thrives, and there are many alchemists.

Nevertheless, most alchemists specialize in Golem manufacturing and are not as good at making magic items as regular alchemists… Still, there is no denying that there are talented alchemists inside.

(Nevertheless, there is no point in worrying too much about that area.After all, I can't say anything unless I actually try to act.)

If anyone comes out, we'll deal with it properly.

Ray decides to take a step toward Jarlis Workshop.

That's how I was going to make sure that no matter who showed up at all....

Is that it?

I thought if I got close to Jarris Workshop, someone would show up at that moment... and eventually arrive at Jarris Workshop without ever encountering anyone.

After entering the premises, there is still no sign of anyone showing up.

(No, I think whoever's after me can show up to guard the Jarris workshop.Are you sleeping at night?No, that's exactly what I don't think)

There is no doubt that the whole city is quite noisy about the Dolan Workshop.

That said, it should not be strange to be ready to deal with anything at the Jarlis Workshop immediately.

However, Ray saw no particular movement in the Jarlis Workshop.

While questioning this, Ray enters the Jarris Workshop building.

Naturally, instead of entering the Dolan Workshop from a place you would never have, it was a decent reception.

Maybe it's night, so there's nobody at the reception?Though I thought, there was one middle-aged man at the reception.

Originally, there were many well-dressed women in reception, and the reception when Ray actually came to the Jarlis workshop in the daytime was a woman who deserved to be called a beauty.

But now it's the man who's waiting.

(The lack of sleep is bad for my skin, and I hear stories like that, so it may be related to that area.)

While thinking like that, Ray talks to the man who is staring at himself.

"I need to see Roger."

"... who are you?"

When Roger says he wants to see him, the receptionist's gaze at Ray becomes more suspicious.

For Jarlis Workshop, Roger is a very skilled alchemist.It is no mistake to describe it as a treasure in a sense.

A stranger suddenly appeared in the middle of the night on the treasure of the Jarris Workshop, so you shouldn't be alarmed.

If Ray does something strange, we should call the guards right away.

With that in mind, there must still be a disciplined side to asking who Ray is.

This is Ray, a friend of Roger's.

That's right, take off the hood of the dragon robe you were wearing.

As for Ray personally, there are a number of things I think about my face, but the fact that I am relatively well dressed with a woman's face is not something that I can't use as proof that I am Ray.

In fact, when the receptionist heard Ray's name and looked at his face, the suspicious expression that had appeared until a few seconds ago instantly disappeared.

"Oh, you're listening.Anything that gave Roger the materials of an unknown monster. "

"Oaknaga? I'm not mistaken about that.... is Roger still in the workshop? "

"Yes, I'm still researching at the workshop today.He wanted to see Roger. Should I call him?Or should I call someone and show them to Roger's lab? "

"Can I go alone if you tell me where it is?"

"No, that's exactly what it tastes like.Jarlis Workshop is a historic workshop with many technologies.In the unlikely event that something happens, Ray will need witnesses to avoid suspicion. "

It was Ray's pure feeling not to say a good thing.

In fact, Ray is weird... Specifically, it would be stronger to keep an eye on him like an industrial spy, but he can't refuse even if he says so.

"Okay, then call Roger.I need to talk to Roger right away, so hurry up. "

"I see... if you really want to see Roger in a hurry, you should go see him in person rather than waiting for him to come.Mr. Roger, when it comes to Golem's research, it's hard to concentrate and respond to calls from the outside. "

Then I'll need a guide.

As for Ray, I wanted to let Roger know about Dolan's workshop as soon as possible.

It would also be interesting for Roger to know that Necromancy is particularly applied to the Golem and that the Golem's core contains human souls.

Above all, it was necessary to let Roger know as soon as possible that Dolan Workshop might be targeted in terms of his relationship with Ray.

Asking people to call for it, the man gets up from the reception desk and goes to a room a little further away.

When he came out of the room, the man took someone he thought was an adventurer.

"This person will guide you. Follow me."

"Okay, thank you."

That's what Ray said, but from what Ray saw, the guiding man only looked like an adventurer hired.

I mean, isn't that one of the people who might have stolen the technology from the Jarris workshop?I thought that the receptionist believed that there was no problem, so I decided that there would be no problem around there.

"I'll show you. This way."

Guided by a man who said so briefly, Ray walks through the building.

"Have you been employed by this lab long?"

"... why do you think so?"

Ray asks the man as if he couldn't stand the silence as he walks down the hallway.

The man asks why he didn't understand what he was told, but Ray explains that he wondered what he was told to do to guide him even though he was an adventurous man.

"I see. That's a long way to go.Dolan Workshop was hired long before they overtook Jarlis Workshop.It's close to half the staff of the Jarlis workshop. "

I don't suppose you're trying to hide this from me.

It was not strange for a man to boast that his place of work was one of the finest workshops in Exinis.

"Is that what you think of Dolan Workshop?"

"If you don't, you're lying.But even if he loses now, Roger will eventually get past Dolan Workshop. "

That's because I fully believe in the skill of an alchemist named Roger.

When I talked to the receptionist earlier, Roger seemed more popular than Ray had expected.

... in Ray's case, the encounter was the encounter, so I didn't think so.

As he talks like that, the conductor eventually stops.

"I'm sure he's here. I'll wait here. If you want to talk, you can go inside."

"Okay, thank you for taking me so far."

That knocks on the door, but there's no reaction from the inside.

There are signs on the other side of the door, and someone inside... there's almost certainly Roger.

But why didn't you come out?

When in doubt, the conductor talks to Ray.

"Probably concentrated and didn't notice what was going on outside.You better open the door now. "

I thought it would be all right, but if the conductor said so, I decided that it would be all right and opened the door.

Then, in the room, Roger sat at his desk, desperately writing something....

"No, that's not it! This doesn't make any sense!Something else.Something else.... "

As he was writing, he shouted unexpectedly, rolling the paper and throwing it on the floor.

And then I try to write something on paper again.....

"Roger"

"Hmm?... Ray? What the hell are you doing here?"

Returning to me with Ray's voice, he looked at the face of the person who was there and looked surprised.

Ray was stunned by Roger's appearance, but closed the door to prevent the conductor from hearing their conversation before approaching the table.

"I knocked.I didn't react at all, so I opened it myself. "

"It doesn't matter.But if you come here at a time like this, is there something important? "

"Yes, to be honest, there are so many things I don't know what to say... First, I found out why the Golem at Dolan Workshop is so high-performing."

"Hmm... why? How the hell did you know?I checked because I said it was made of people, but there was no place that seemed like it.Why did I tell Ray something I didn't know...? "

Roger would be humiliating in a way.

Because Ray figured out that he, a Golem expert, didn't understand at all.

Nevertheless, Ray did not analyze the Golem like Roger and discover the secret of its performance, but rather found a room with an altar and a magical formation and listened to and understood it from the Grimm.

Roger doesn't have to be disappointed because he's a cheater in a way.

"I didn't investigate and find out, but I listened to my master and found out.It's not my power. "

"I see.... Still, I'm surprised that I can find what I couldn't find by looking into it immediately..."

"I suppose you're right to say you didn't know because you're a Golem expert."

"... what do you mean?"

"There is no doubt that people were used as materials.But it didn't make the human body a material of the Golem, it used the human soul as the nucleus of the Golem. "

"People's souls...? What the hell does that mean?"

"Literally. I don't use people's bodies as materials, but I use people's souls as materials using necromancy.This area may have been completely unexpected to Roger. "

Ray explained the details he had seen to Roger that he didn't know exactly what Ray meant.
