"Mister Jin, I cannot thank you enough for not only your hospitality but also for the maintenance of Tia-dono. Your Highness and I thank you for your hospitality.
Duke Breu said.
After Tia had been re-equipped, a short banquet was held.
A low-alcohol, pleasant sake is served. Jin thought it was like plum wine. In fact, it was a distilled liquor soaked with plume fruits (a plant that could only be a plum from the southern part of the Kingdom of Klein).
Princess Mimir was already dreaming and Tomax Bartmann was sleeping like mud, so those present were Jin, Rhodes, Ernest XVII, Ilmina Ratkin, and the Duke of Bruu.
Reiko, Uragan, and Tia stand behind their respective masters.
"No, it was a promise, and I like doing it."
Jin was more concerned about Tomax Bartman.
"Illumina, is Tomax alright?"
"Yes, I'm just tired, that's all."
"After all, ......"
The dark circles under her eyes and dulled reactions brought back memories of when she worked for a black company in Japan.
"Did you stay up all night for about three days?"
The answer to that question is exactly what I expected.
"Oh, that's about right.
"......Tomax, you have a strong sense of responsibility. ......"
As a human being, I have to say yes.
"I wish I could assist you a little more."
Tomax is the type of person who takes on a lot on his own, sighed Illumina.
"Hmmm... ......"
Jin is thinking of making him a secretary automata, but then he thinks that it would be better to start with Machina III.
"In the meantime, I'll give you the recovery medicine that I always keep in <> tomorrow morning."
"Thank you. ......"
Illumina also seemed to be a hard worker.
"So, will Jin-dono be leaving tomorrow?"
Duke Blou, looking slightly regretful, asked Jin.
"Yes. I still have some unfinished research to do.
"Well, I'm sorry, but I can't force you to stay.
The duke looked truly disappointed.
"Tomorrow, I will analyze the enemy golem that will probably be brought in and report back to you.
"Well, thank goodness."
Jin is very curious about the roots of the enemy golem.
<, or is it from and other blue-haired automata, or is it neither? .......
"We will know a lot more when we examine the control core."
We'd like to do that in the presence of Tomax Bartmann," Jin said.
"Yes. Perhaps the golem will be kept in the garrison outside the castle.
We won't bring it into the castle at once, the duke said.
"I understand."
And so ends the meeting for the night.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
The next day, January 4th.
Jin and his men arrive by at the soldiers' garrison outside the castle.
They were accompanied by the Duke of Bruu, Rhodoth, Tomax Bartman, and Ilmina Ratkin.
I took the restorative you gave me and my stomach feels better.
Tomax thanked Jin as they walked along.
"That's good to hear. But it will come back if you don't remove the cause. ......"
"You're absolutely right. ......"
Tomax replied, rubbing his stomach.
The stomach ache he had been feeling for a long time had been cured by taking the recovery medicine Jin had given him, but the action had become a habit.
The garrison commander led Jin and the others to a large tent.
There lay the enemy golem they had captured yesterday.
Tomax and Illumina went to the leader of the survey team to ask him about the results of the analysis so far.
Jin, of course, has his own analysis.
The control core had already been analyzed by the survey team, but Jin's analysis of the structure and materials might reveal something.
"Well..."
Jin approaches the golem lying in front of him and begins his analysis.
Rhodes and the Duke of Breu observe from the side. The members of the survey team also gathered to take a look at Jin's skills, albeit from a distance.
"<><>>>"
"Oh, oh?
In no time at all, the exterior of the chest was removed, exposing the important magical device (magi device) inside, and someone in the survey team let out an exclamation at the skill with which he began analyzing the device without a pause.
Jin, however, was unconcerned,
"<><><>"
and the analysis proceeded apace.
"Haha...... this guy is also a member of the family, isn't he?"
The golem that rampaged in < was in the same family, though the type was different.
(I guess it was not a family. ...... I'm relieved about that.
< has a performance that is different from that of ordinary golems, so that if one power has it, it may upset the balance of power.
(...... I am one in that sense.)
The thought of retreating to Hale, after all, crosses Jin's mind.
But for now, he turns his attention back to the Golem to focus on the problem at hand.
"<>...... galvanized carbon steel. ......<>...... this one is a bronze mixed with mithril silver...... I see."
Jin proceeds to analyze the material as well. Reiko takes quick note of his mutterings.
"Muscle tissue is ...... a material for demons. <
The members of the investigation team look at him with wide-eyed amazement at the speed of his analysis.
"The ether converter and mana driver ...... are not very good ......, or maybe three at the moment. The conversion efficiency is poor."
Jin's hand does not stop while muttering to himself.
"The structure of the skeleton is ...... ah, I see. < and didn't use it as a reference?
Jin saw that there was no pelvis and the waist was not flexible enough.
"That's why its movements were not human-like."
Jin then analyzes the head.
"The ears are reasonably good, but I wonder why ...... the eyes ...... did this?"
The super wide-angle lens provided a field of view of about 200 degrees in front of the head, but without a zoom function, it would have been difficult to distinguish objects in the distance.
"The light-receiving part seems to be more powerful for that purpose, but it's ...... a bit odd."
It is like a digital camera with a very high resolution. The performance of the photosensitive area is so high that the image quality does not deteriorate even when the details are magnified. .......
"The night vision seems to be poor."
Jin thought that this would be a disadvantage for use on an abandoned mine road.
"Well, many of the copies are just imitations without understanding the design concept.
No wonder they can't surpass the originals," Jin said with a cold smile.
He examined the other three in the same way, but found nothing new.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Thank you very much, Duke. That's all I could find out.
Jin handed over the notes that Reiko had written during the analysis and the report with his opinion.
"Oh, this explains a lot."
Duke Breu was pleased to receive the report.
"Our golem has something to offer as well, doesn't it?"
"Yes. Yes. And I have written down its advantages and disadvantages.
