Magi Craft Meister

30-39 Survey I

"Knock..."

"Too bad..."

Zix and Gunno, seized by the five-color golem maids, were distorting their faces with remorse.

Elsa approached him softly.

"Hey, what can I do for you?"

Elsa did not answer it, but put her right hand on Jix's forehead.

"Hey, what, what!

Elsa (Doppel), who is more silent than herself.

"" Diagnosis ""

……

Ganno next when he finishes his examination of Jix.

"What, this woman!

The golem maid holds back the gangster.

I put my hand on Ganno's forehead, where the movement stopped, and activated the magic.

"" Diagnosis ""

……

King César, who saw Elsa (Doppel of) with a difficult face, asked with interest.

"Elsa, did you find out anything?

"... Yes. There's an accumulation of 'poison' in my head, and I can't seem to make a normal decision."

Elsa (Doppel of) explains it in a plain expression to King César and others.

"Holy shit!"

"So, if you treat it, will you be quiet?

"At least, I think we'll be able to make a normal decision"

"That's good news. Let's go back to the Second Reception Hotel."

A line that travels using the carriage we have boarded and the carriage of Ganno. The gunnos were held in rope.

Your Golem Maid serves you.

"... do we manage to converge on this disturbance as well?

Bringing it to the chair of the Penglai command room, Jen muttered.

"...... hmm. But I think I should do the brain therapy."

"Oh well. Do you want to replace it again?"

Jen and Elsa (Doppel) stopped by 'Conlon 3' in the name of getting the medicine to be used for the examination and replaced it with the real one.

Of course, I'm bringing out 'recovery pills'.

Jix and Ganno were taken to the infirmary of the Second Reception Hotel.

Along the way, he is stunned with "Paralysis (Stan)" because he is too violent. Now I can take my time examining him.

"" Diagnosis ""

Again, Elsa examined herself.

"... after all, there is an accumulation of metallic foreign bodies all over the body"

Even as Jen, I don't know the detailed symptoms and mechanisms of mercury poisoning, so I can only come up with enough measures to remove that accumulated 'foreign body'.

The same goes for Elsa.

"Remove foreign objects. …" Extraction ""

This "extraction" is an engineering magic that separates and extracts certain components. Not valid for unknown substances, but possible if only unknown substances are extracted from known substances.

Elsa is applying this to the human body.

The composition of the human body is known, so other substances are causing poisoning symptoms.

Only a slight gray powder was extracted. I wondered if it was a compound, Jen.

"It's dangerous, so let's put it in the bin."

Give Jix a healing pill and put the gray powder in an empty bottle, Jen. Of course I didn't touch it with my hands. The wind magic was successfully used to gather it inside the bin.

The same thing was done to Ganno and the procedure was completed by giving him healing pills.

"... the point is, the poison was turning to my head and I couldn't seem to contain my emotions,"

Again Elsa explains.

King César listened to it in silence, but opened his mouth with a difficult face.

"Okay. Nevertheless, these two sins will not go away. Because there are facts that have tried to harm me, Laguette and Rattant."

There is no such custom in this world as' It's on booze, so take a look at it '.

"Well, adding Elsa Lady's diagnosis is enough to make it a little easier."

I guess that's something I can't help.

It is not a golem competition (gompetation) jump in, but if you make a special case, the meaning of the law will cease.

Well, it's not so much that a human being in a position to make laws and make exceptions to them take the initiative, King César concluded.

From then on, a lot of processing took place.

First, the recovery of ten 'blunt' golems with a severed neck and torso.

Then we stopped moving. Recovery of the golem.

We know that if we recover from coagulation at low temperatures, we will move out again, so Jen dealt with it by removing the 'control nucleus (control core)'.

There were also hands to "erase" in "Slave Rewrite Magic", but it is a shame to erase the contents, so I adopted this strategy.

"Now, who is' fluid metal '?"

With a formal request from the Kingdom of Celluloa, Jen began analyzing the golem with Reiko as his assistant. Elsa is a tour.

The location is a small workshop located in the second reception hotel. This is a room equipped to repair and renovate equipment, etc.

The person present was Rattant, Secretary of the First Ministry of Technology.

There was still a small amount of 'fluid metal' left in the barrel that the Jicks were carrying.

Let's try Analyze first.

Then.

"... 'Mercury' after all..."

Turns out to be Mercury's 'Magic Isotope' to be exact.

It's like silver and misrillic silver.

Jen said no to Rattant, Secretary of the First Ministry of Technology, because he wanted to take it back and study it, and obtained about a litre of 'fluid metal'.

This will also be carried in a bin.

"Is it bad in a metal container?

Rattant has been asking questions.

"Yeah, this is' mercury ', so it melts all kinds of metals."

Latant seemed surprised to tell him so.

"Oh, my God! Really?

"Yeah. Some alchemists should know that."

"Hmmm..."

There is magic in this world, so the refining of metals is less developed.

It doesn't even seem to have an 'ash blowing' method for separating gold and silver from ore.

The 'ash blowing method' crushes gold and silver ore and heats it with lead, allowing gold and silver to blend into molten lead as an alloy before further heating. At this point, if you pump enough air in, the lead becomes lead oxide and separates it from gold and silver.

At this time, by doing so in a porous refractory container, only lead oxide will be absorbed and alloys of gold and silver will remain in the container.

In the case of Japan, it seems to have been done in Ishimi Ginzan and elsewhere.

Mercury can also be used in place of lead at this time. This one is called the Amalgam method, which requires less fuel, but is far from practical because evaporated mercury, or mercury vapor, is harmful to the human body.

I'll explain more about the danger of mercury later, Jen thought.

Aside from that, the news came in that Jix and the others woke up, and Jens left the workshop once to attend the interrogation.
