Doright Coatspurt was first taken to the < on the outskirts of the town of Trom.
There he was questioned about various things.
The most dangerous-looking item in the workshop was a <.
It was more than twice as large as the previous ones, and if it had been completed and Dorite had resisted, it would have been difficult to get him, thought No.0 and the others ......<>. Everyone thought, except No. 9.
"It's a good thing we don't have any other friends."
It was fortunate for both parties that there was no resistance.
We arrived at the task force headquarters at 5:00 am.
For the time being, the agents, including Doright-Cotes-Part, decided to take a nap for about three hours, except for those who were on duty.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
8:00 a.m. local time.
After waking up from the nap and having a light meal, they finally started to ask for information.
No. 0 is in charge of asking questions, and Nos. 5 to 9 are present to provide security.
No. 0 says, "I have a lot of questions, but please answer them honestly.
No. 0 says,
"Yes, I understand.
Dorite nodded her head.
"So, ......, why ? What is the purpose of its creation?
"Because I saw a golem horse that was made by a Magecraft Meister, and I was fascinated by how wonderful it was.
I wanted to make one myself, but the horse was too big for my budget, so I decided to use a wolf of a suitable size.
No.9 thought that the old man had already done his research in this area.
"Why did you go to the trouble of putting rock wolf fur on it?"
"I wanted to see how close I could make it to the real thing. Fortunately, rock wolf pelts are relatively inexpensive.
Rock wolves are vermin and are hunted in large numbers.
They are processed into fur, but the fur is harder and less popular than the fur of foxes such as the moshifuri fox, so it is cheaper.
"You made about 30 of them, are you satisfied with the result?"
"They are better than the first ones, but I'm still not satisfied with them."
Quinta 9, the fifth row (Quinta), was listening to this question-and-answer session by Quinta 0 and felt that it was a very good introduction.
He did not start with the main topic at once, but started with a topic that Doright could easily answer, and tried to make Doright's caution fade away.
"How much did you receive for the development?"
"Well, ............ it was about 5 million dollars.
In Japanese yen, 50 million yen is quite a large sum for an individual researcher.
Who gave it to you?
Now we are getting close to the main question.
"A man in his mid-40s. He said his name was Megy Ides.
What did he look like?
Tall, skinny. Gray eyes. Brown hair. He had a slight Franzian accent. ......, I think."
Doright Coatsapart, whose previous questions had made me less cautious, spoke easily.
"Have you met the man several times?"
"I've met him about four times. I've met him about four times, but only once since the beginning of this year.
He said he met with the man on January 15 and handed over 10 golem wolves to him.
"That was the end of our meeting. So I don't know if the man will come back in the future.
"I see...I see...I can say ......, the final product .........anyway, what is the performance of the 30th body?"
Doright Coatsapart answers this question with a twinkle in his eye, leaning forward.
I'm not convinced yet, but it's the best I've ever seen," he says. It's the best thing I've ever done, although I'm not convinced yet. ...... It runs at about 100 kilometers per hour. It can break through a steel door one centimeter thick.
"Oh."
"It can also chew through a steel plate up to two centimeters thick."
That's pretty impressive.
Isn't it? With ......, it can act autonomously to some extent, and it is also possible to control the prototypes from No. 21 to No. 29 that have been made up to that point. Unfortunately, the prototypes before No. 20 are not autonomous and have a poor control core, so they cannot be controlled.
That's a pretty good specs, thought the old man, who was listening to the conversation through No. 9 and No. 9.
"...... By the way, did you know that there was a cave-in accident at a mine here in Trom the other day?"
"No, I don't know."
This response was typical of the indifference of the researcher to the outside world.
"...... I see."
At this point, No. 0 hesitated a little.
But in the end, he decided to check it out.
"Take a look at this."
First, he shows a hair in a glass bottle.
"I found this at the site of the cave-in. I'm pretty sure it's a rock wolf hair. What do you think ......?"
Doright Coatsapert was mortified when he heard this.
"What, what? Don't tell me you think I'm the culprit?"
No. 0 calmed Dwight down.
"Calm down. I didn't say that. ...... There's one more thing... the footprints we found near the crime scene."
This time he showed rubbings of the footprints.
"They seem to be the footprints of several animals, but they all look the same.
"These are ......."
Dorite paled a little.
"I'm pretty sure these are the footprints of my golem wolf. ......"
"I see."
Doright sagged.
"...... am I a sinner?"
No. 0 speaks to Doright in a quiet voice.
"No, you made it at my request, didn't you? If that is proven, you will not be charged with a serious crime.
Hearing these words, Dorite seems to cheer up a little.
"First of all, I would like you to tell me as much as you can about the man who commissioned you to make this."
"Yes. ......"
* * * *
The whole question-and-answer session was known to the old man through Regulus 45, i.e., No. 9.
We have no way of knowing who this Megyi Ides man is.
However, the old man had already found the man with his "peepers" and knew that he was a member of the "League of Magic" from the ID card he was wearing.
It's hard to let <> discover him. ......>>
Now Megi-Ides is in the village of Kawaha in the Kingdom of Franz.
Kawaha is a small village between the capital St. Gerton and the town of St. Foze to the south.
The old man took the situation a little too seriously and chose to squash the dangerous buds before they cause an uproar.
Deneb 5 is in charge of the capital city of San Gelton, while Regulus 10 is in charge of the area south of San Gelton, near St. Fosse, which is convenient for dispatching them to Kawaha village.
So the old man ordered the three land troops, Lands 55, 56 and 57, to stand by. If necessary, they can be sent out immediately by transporter.
