Magi Craft Meister

Empire of Shouro, the town of Banne.

It is the home of the Randall family where Reinhardt was born and raised.

Fried Randall von Reed, who works for its Banne Guard headquarters and squad leader for the second squad, was angry.

That is, fraud was committed in the town of Banne.

He himself was told by a magic engineer named Ludwig (Magi Engineer) that he had suddenly suffered the unlikely trouble of a runoff, although he had bought a farming golem from a branch that named the "Tekles Chamber of Commerce" six months earlier.

And although I tried to make a complaint, this Banne didn't have the 'Tekles Chamber of Commerce Banne Branch' itself.

Clearly, this is a fraud that deceived the 'Tekles Chamber of Commerce'.

Just in case, I received a call the other day that the broken golem that serves as evidence is preserved, and it doesn't seem to be a mistake.

"Well, I wonder where we should start"

Fried Randall was alone.

Since his status is squad leader, he has four men.

Earlier, Fried had ordered them to gather clues.

And of course he himself would be in the investigation, but he was a little lost.

"Ask or analyze that golem..."

Fried Randall draws the blood of the Randall family, as can be seen from its last name.

His ancestors were Fritz Randall von Grosch (the noble name in the Empire of Shouro will be his name, surname and (von Gift name)).

The main house, the Randall family, which houses Banne, stands beside each other, but the two houses are not bad friends.

It's just that Fried didn't like engineering magic, so he's in the guard.

I mean, I want to analyze it, but I don't have the means.

"You said the golem itself was kept in a workshop in the town of Calz."

Anyway, it was Freed who decided to go there.

"It's a workshop over there, so you can ask for an analysis."

At a distance of about 10 km, so we arrived in about half an hour if we took a horse.

"Berrich Workshop...... and oh there"

Fried visited the Berrich workshop and asked for help with the analysis.

"I'd like to help, but I don't have a workshop manager or a deputy workshop manager..."

Berrich, the workshop manager, told "Avalon," and Ludwig, the deputy workshop manager, had gone out, and the voicemail apprenticeship failed to fulfill Fried's demands.

and there,

"Um, if you don't mind, can you let me do it?

I have an offer.

He looks like a serious guy in his early twenties.

"What about you?

"Yes, my name is Altus, and I have been a temporary lecturer here in the workshop since yesterday"

"Mr. Altus, can you?

Asked worried about the answering apprenticeship.

"Yes, it's fine.... and I, too, have come to mind with this golem scam I've heard about. Please let me help you."

"Okay, let's ask for it"

Although temporary, having just the strength to act as a lecturer and being angry at this fraud, Fried decided to ask for help.

It was also possible that Altus had been sent by a fraudulent group to hide evidence, but Fried decided to believe the words he had said in his own account: 'I am here for this golem scam'.

"" Analysis "," Reading "," Analysis "…"

As several apprentices came out and watched, Altus did the analysis over and over again.

And.

"I understand a little. It was surprisingly long ago that this was made. About fifty years ago."

"How could that be?

"This material… biological material is used in part, but it's a judgment from how it deteriorates. We've decided it's been about forty to sixty years."

"Um, so you said fifty years"

"Yes."

"Then, it's probably the 'Magic League' that made it. So far, we've analyzed a few of the golems they've made, but they have common features."

"I see."

Fried was oblivious to magic engineering, so he never asked what its characteristics were, but the apprentices were different.

"This is how you do it, isn't it"

"… this effect is achieved by alternating between" analysis "and" reading (decompilation) "…"

"A, Mr. Altus, what is that common trait?

"It's easy.... how to use the Magi Formula here. Normally I don't write this way. At least, I don't know anything that writes like this outside of the 'Magic League' golem"

"I see..."

Plus Altus tells.

"Perhaps this golem was a prototype. A con artist or a con group must have found it and put a little effort into it."

Altus tightened his brackets when it came to practical goods.

"No, I see, it was helpful. Thank you, Altus!

You noticed that this was a guard investigation, and the three apprentices thanked you and went back.

And at the same time, the response to Freed was left to Altus.

"No, Lord Altus, thank you for your cooperation."

Fried also tried to thank me and go home... then.

"We might be able to work with you a little bit more, right?

Altus called out.

"Now what?

Freed, who stopped, asked looking back.

"We can help, I said.... No, it's not lies or clarity, you know what kind of person this golem was adjusted to."

Fried was surprised,

"Oh, you can do that! You're not lying, are you?

But Altus was flat,

"Yeah, is that a lie? … This Golem's" Control Core "also stores information and magic patterns of producers and regulators"

Is it such that information other than images is recorded in the digital image data?

Anyway, Altus knows something that only a handful of Magic Engineers know.

"Oh, well, tell me that!

"Can I have a moment?"

"Of course."

Got it, Altus uses engineering magic again.

"'Knowledge Confirmation (Lead Info)'"

I didn't realize Fried had no engineering magic knowledge, but Confirmation of Knowledge (Lead Info) has only the effect of reading the information in Control Nucleus (Control Core).

Without extraordinary processing power, the readout is an engineering magic that makes no sense because it is an instant.

Altus, however, used such "knowledge confirmation (lead info)" and also read information that he would not normally have noticed.

"Okay.... The name of what readjusted this golem is' Hanga Chamoi '. He's like this."

Altus sketched and showed the man's face with exposures in his notebook.

"You're surprised... you'll even figure that out"

"Yes. It was extracted from Golem's 'seen and heard' memory."

I got a name and a face. But that is all.

The investigation of the perpetrator, a fraudster or a fraudulent group, was to come.
