"I don't know why ......, we've always been that way," was all he said.
With a slightly puzzled look on his face, Levert answered.
"That's right, Adriana. We are not doing anything special.
Vaschako added.
"Well, that's true, isn't it?
Adriana, who had cooled down a little, stopped her pursuit.
"I'm sorry. I got a little carried away.
To Adriana's apology, Levert silently shook his head and replied.
"By the way, now that you have shown us all the magic tools here, could you show us something a little more advanced?
At these words, Levert smiled.
"Yes, of course. This room contains only what all of our researchers can analyze.
"I see. I guess our people are of a high standard.
(Although no one can analyze everything in a few hours like you can...), Levert added in a whisper.
Levert led us to a room further in the back.
"This is where all our golem-related stuff is gathered."
"Great!"
Adriana's face lit up when she saw the golems standing in a row.
"May I take a look at them?"
Yes, please.
At this point, Levert knew that "Don't break it" was a useless advice to her.
"Let's see this first."
While Levert was looking at Adriana, he started to examine the golem at the back of the room, starting with the one at the front.
(I see, I don't need to see that level anymore.)
(I see, I don't need to look at that level anymore...) I glanced at the golem that Adriana had brought with her, stopped at the entrance, and knew it was a very advanced golem.
(I was surprised that an endoskeletal golem had been perfected by the inhabitants of the south.)
) As a resident of the northern continent, Levert had his own pride.
Adriana had no idea that Levert was thinking of such a thing, and she was happy to analyze the golem.
"...... Oh, it's not an <>. ...... Is this ......?"
"Oh, it stores mana and uses it. It's a mana tank. But the operating time will be short. ......
"This one has a ...... thin magical nerve ...... that doesn't seem to be very efficient."
Levert groans as he watches Adriana, who is already working on the analysis of the second one.
(Ummm, great ...... definitely better than our technicians ......)
Except for her inexperience, her comprehension is outstanding. What he may not know in terms of knowledge, he more than makes up for with his flash of insight and reasoning.
(Who named her <> or ...... is not an exaggeration at all).
Adriana continued her analysis and had finished analyzing five golems by lunch time.
"My Lord Adriana, you are amazing!"
Levert praised her unreservedly as they moved for lunch.
"Thank you?"
Adriana was not quite sure.
The golem she was analyzing was an advanced one that could only be maintained by the best engineers in the <> clan.
"Hmmm, Lady Adriana, I have underestimated you.
Herkiler groaned when his grandson and engineer, Levert, told him about Adriana's work.
"In the afternoon I will take you to the vaults for more advanced magic tools. "Levert, will you take care of it?"
"Yes, I'll take care of it."
So after lunch Adriana was taken to the innermost part of the cave.
She was accompanied by Levert, but not by Vasjaako.
He had his own agenda now that he was here in the clan territory.
I was later told that there is basically no interaction between the clans.
The only exception is that <> and <> exchange information once or twice a year.
Putting that aside, Adriana steps into the vaults where the magic tools, the hidden treasures of the <> clan, are stored.
The light comes on automatically.
"It's equipped with a detector. That would be helpful.
Adriana immediately begins to analyze the equipment, and Levert is intrigued.
"If we change this part a little, it should be possible to detect normal people without magic power.
"...... what would you use such a thing for?"
"Yes?
"...... sister?"
Adriana was analyzing the data while muttering to herself, and before she knew it, a woman was standing next to her. She seemed to be Levert's sister.
Her hair was gray and her eyes were yellow, the same color as her brother's. Her hair was shoulder-length. However, her hair was shoulder-length and she had a feminine body.
"So, what do you use it for?"
Adriana was a little taken aback when she was interrupted by the soliloquy, but quickly regained her composure.
"Well, I'm sure there are many uses for it.
"So, what exactly are you talking about?
"Well, it could be used as a security device that sounds an alarm when a person approaches, and yes, I think it could be applied to traps to catch animals, if not people.
"...... method."
He was satisfied with Adriana's answer.
"Hmmm, Adriana, you say. I am Hasareth, Levert's sister.
"Oh, thank you very much.
What are you doing here, sister?
Levert interrupted.
"What are you talking about? I've come to see the secret storehouse of our clan that has been opened.
"I see. Then come with me and see for yourself.
What nonsense! As a technician, I will not pass up this opportunity.
Hasarese is very animated in contrast to the reserved Levert. He is very outspoken.
Adriana, do you know why the Magi Formula is the way it is?
He has already called her out. But I could tell by the look on her face that Adriana did not mind.
"Yes. I think it's a buffer for connecting our elements to your link board.
"I see. ......"
The answer came back to me as if I had hit the nail on the head, and I was even more enthusiastic than Adriana.
Levert watches her and lets out a small sigh.
Adriana and Hatherlys continue working together until the evening.
"Well, Adriana, it was a very productive time.
"I had a good time, too."
It seems that the two became good friends through this work.
* * * *
With every encounter, there is a parting.
"My work is done, Adriana. Tomorrow morning, I will return to the clan territory.
The vashako of the <> says that his work is done and that he will return home.
"Thank you for everything you have done for me, Mr. Bashako.
"That's what I've been saying. As a member of the clan, I cannot thank you enough. I hope you will stop by on your way back if you have a chance.
"Sure, I'll stop by."
With this conversation, the Vashakos left the clan territory of the the next morning.
Adriana, on the other hand, would remain in the clan territory for almost a year.
