"I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know the <> to stop it once and if it's ......."
Jin looked at Reiko.
"Reiko, try using <>."
"Yes, father."
This magic tool forces mana to be converted back into free magic element (ether). A smaller version of it is placed in Reiko's bracelet.
The magic canceller is directional. Reiko fires the magic canceller at .
<'s red eyes goes out. It did not return even if Reiko deactivated the magic canceller.
"Okay, it looks like this guy is using a mana tank too.
Once the mana in the mana tank is converted back to free mana (ether) by the magic canceller, the golem runs out of energy and stops working.
Jin can examine the golem slowly.
"Hmm, that's an interesting structure. It has some similarities to its predecessor, but there are also some differences. Some parts are similar to Elena's. ......"
Jin removed the exterior of the and analyzed it.
"Father, is this enough light?"
"Yes, it's fine."
Three small balls of light illuminate Jin's hand.
Reiko asked to secure a light for Jin, who was busy with disassembling and analyzing.
Reiko asked him to hold the light for her.
"Yes, father."
"Elsa, look here."
And Jin calls Elsa.
This is .......
It's unusual.
The structure of the chest.
<
"A mana tank for the lungs and a mana driver for the heart. ......
You mean, as close to human as possible?
"That would be the case."
There are no organs unrelated to the golem, such as the spleen and pancreas, but there is a mana tank for emergency use in the area corresponding to the liver and a magi crystal of unknown use in the area corresponding to the kidneys, which shows the care taken.
"Naturally, the control core must be the head.
The skull was able to be divided into front and back sections, so we opened it up to check it out, as we had expected.
"Okay, let's read (decompile) the control core. Reiko, please forward the results to the old man.
"Yes, sir."
"Okay, let's do it. Let's do it. ......<>"
<<> is an engineering magic developed by Adriana Barbora Zetsi when she was young, which reads the instructions given to the control core of a golem or other object as a "Magi Formula".
"Hmmm..."
<, looked at the scrolling display at ultra-high speed and instantly read the necessary information.
"You're really good at this, Jin."
"You get used to it. You don't need to look at the information that doesn't matter, just the information that you need.
"That's the hard part."
However, Erza also showed a great deal of skill and was able to read at least what she wanted to know.
"I'll leave the rest for you to put together.
After the reading (decompiling) was finished, Jin started to analyze another golem, <>, which had the same basic structure as the other one.
"This one has the same basic structure.
After quickly analyzing the information, Jin started the next stage.
That is, the investigation of the maker.
The control core could not provide any information on the maker of the device.
The first clue is the structure.
"Hmmm... ...... I've never seen this before... ...... It's quite an original structure."
The body is divided into front and rear sections, with the dorsal side being stiff and the ventral side being relatively soft.
It is not an endoskeleton of the Adriana type. On the other hand, it is not an exoskeleton either. At worst, it is a halfway house. At best, it is a good combination of the two.
"Easy to make? According to this structure, the back side of the torso of the exoskeleton system is made first. From there, the arms, legs, and head are attached based on the back side of the torso.
"Ah, ......, that may be so."
"The arms are not armored on the inside, only on the outside. <."
"In other words, the back side is hard and the belly side is soft?"
"Yes. And they use armor to protect their belly side."
"Interesting."
Jin thought this was a reasonable structure.
It's not a very good analogy, but it might give you an idea of the way in which an engine, transmission, seats, steering wheel, etc. are installed on top of the basic frame of a car, and finally the body is placed on top of the frame.
"But I don't know of any other builder who does it this way," he said.
"Father, I don't see it in your database either."
"I guess ...... and, then, some engineer who has been living in hiding or ......?"
There were technicians who had the technology to make a golem using the other day, so it would not be surprising if there were others.
"Do you know anything about bandits?"
"Well, let's ask them."
Moritz watches them and one of them from a distance.
Fritz, on the other hand, continues to interrogate the bandit.
He holds a knife to his throat so that he can cut them off whenever they try to chant a spell.
"Are you sure you don't want to speak?"
"......"
"You want to get hurt, don't you?"
"......"
"He's a stubborn one, isn't he?"
Then came Jin, Elsa and Reiko.
"Brother, I need you to take care of this for a minute."
"What? Do you have any idea what to do?
Yes. But ......
Erza glanced at Jin before opening her mouth again.
"My brother Jin wants to ask you something."
"Okay."
Fritz shifted a little to the side and turned Jin to face the bandit.
At the same time, Reiko activates her magijammer, blocking the use of magic.
"Where did you steal that golem from?"
At this question, the bandit's body slightly jerks.
"It seems to respond to ......, let's scare it a little."
Jin glanced at Reiko and decided to assign the role to Jumi of the fifth row (quinta).
"Jumi, a minute."
"Yes, Chief."
"Here you go. ......"
Jin explained in a whisper what was going on.
"Okay."
Jumi stood alongside Jin.
"Now, I'm going to ask you again. You'd better speak frankly."
Beside Jin, Jumi bent the blade of the knife that the bandit had used to show off his skill.
"?!
The blade was folded in two and then folded in two again. Jumi is laughing as he does it.
And when he gripped the knife once more in his hand, there was a piece of scrap iron, whose original shape was no longer recognizable.
Jumi throws away the scrap knife and reaches for the bandit's face, .
"Wait!"
For the first time since his capture, the bandit opens his mouth.
