Vinkis did a few short checks. This was to check whether the function of ‘fallout defense’ was missing.
However, Frontier nevertheless succeeded in the fall.
Vinkis’s face drooped with melancholy.
Frontier, feeling apologetic for nothing, thought again about the fall.
“… … That, sir.”
“why.”
With a droopy face, Vinkis replied back.
“There was a feeling that it was heavier than other times.”
“Uh, really?”
Immediately, Vinkis’s eyes filled with life.
Frontier wasn’t lying. There was definitely a feeling that some kind of preparation had been made for Nakjang. The moment I tried to open the fall, I felt a bit of resistance.
However, the sense of resistance was so weak that the feeling of being heavy was only a few grams. It was a slight force that I could feel because I tried it over and over again.
Of course, Frontier was silent on this.
“The direction doesn’t seem bad, how about improving it?”
“Yeah, yes! I was not wrong!”
Vinkis quickly regained his energy. It was nice to see room for improvement.
The road to improvement will be very long and difficult.
“Thank you for helping me with the test. This time it’s my turn.”
Vinkis put his arms on his waist and said. Frontier and Queenie nodded.
“But that’s what I was thinking when I heard the story earlier.”
Vinkis tilted his head as if he didn’t quite understand.
“As described, shouldn’t we break the necklace? You’re putting a fair amount of liquid in it.”
“… … Yes, it is.”
As Vinkis said, the amount of black cloth to be added this time is probably an enormous amount that cannot be compared with the previous one.
I didn’t tell Seth here, but Esther referred to it as a ‘lake’. Even if that’s an exaggeration, it’s obvious what will happen if you break the necklace without thinking.
“So that’s what I’m thinking about. I want both to go smoothly so that I can take out as much liquid as I want, and if I need to, take it all out at once.”
Under normal circumstances, you may only need to take out a certain amount and use it, but in a real emergency, you may need all the black cloth. Besides, if it’s urgent, you don’t have time to take it out slowly.
In other words, it is of course important to control the output of the liquid, but it is difficult to abandon the method of breaking the necklace as we have done so far.
After hearing Frontier’s words, Vinkis thought for a moment.
“Then we will need one more artifact.”
“One more?”
“yes. Another artifact used to control the amount on the necklace used to take everything out. Did you say that the necklace was ‘heukryeon’? It was built to be broken in the first place, wasn’t it? It would be unreasonable to add an adjustment function while maintaining that function. It’s a gem in the first place.”
“okay. Another artifact… … .”
I thought that all the functions would fit in Heukryeon, but it doesn’t.
I feel like things are getting bigger. It has already gone beyond the realm of ‘improvement’.
“Then what kind of artifact would be good?”
“Well. You have to wear it to be able to use it at any time, and since it has to be linked with a necklace and magical power, it would be better to have it as close as possible to enough space to output the liquid.”
At Vinkis’s words, Frontier thought for a moment. I looked around the studio for a while. It was to check what had been stored in the workshop so far.
But I can’t find a guy who fits the criteria just like that.
‘… … have.’
found. The moment I saw it, the memories of Frontier revived.
Elodie’s cousin.
An artifact to control Elodie’s uncontrollable power. Originally, Elodie uses this band to avoid using more than a certain amount of mana. The mana that overflows when using magic is stored in the armament.
If we could remodel the artifact so that it could store black cloth instead of magic in it.
“I have something on my mind.”
“Five? What? What kind of artifact is it?”
In response to Vinkis’s question, Frontier explained about the belt Elodie was wearing.
After hearing the explanation, Vinkis looked at Edwin.
“… … If you can handle metal pipa steel with that quality, it looks like a product from Hitchcock.”
“I think that’s right.”
Edwin agreed. And Frontier thought so too.
It was probably her older brother, Lebett, who gave Elodie the armband. If he really cares about his younger sister, he’ll probably give him the best thing using pipa river.
“How is it? If only I could put black heaven instead of magic in that bag.”
“Um, the idea is not bad, but Hitchcock is strictly managed with various security measures. And the design, too.”
Vinkis tilted his head as if in trouble.
The company Hitchcock is famous for its strict secrecy, so outsiders have no idea how the technology and design within the company are made. There were all kinds of attempts to leak, but all were unsuccessful.
Quinier asked.
“It doesn’t have to be that product, right? Now that we have the concept, wouldn’t it be better to make an armad and add functions?”
“Um, that’s right.”
Although he affirmed Quunier’s words, Vinkis had a somewhat dissatisfied face.
When Quinnier tilted his head with a question mark, Edwin, who was next to him, said with a bitter smile.
“You want to see Hitchcock’s products. I made it, but if I don’t do it better than that, I get angry.”
“You’re mad, if you can make a better product, it’s right to try it, right? Did I mention Elodie? I will not be able to see you for a moment.”
“You wouldn’t know it just by looking at it. Unless you dissected it.”
“Would you be upset if I told you to dissect and then reassemble?”
“Um, Elodie is broad-minded, so he won’t be angry, but if the reassembly fails… … .”
“What if I fail?”
“I may have to deal with the runaway of Elodie, who can’t even control the output.”
“Ugh.”
Vinkis, Edwin, and Queenie talked to each other and discussed which method would be better.
Quinier, who wanted to just give up and make an original blueprint, and Vinkis, who couldn’t give up on Hitchcock’s products, were accumulating each other’s opinions one after another.
… … Meantime.
There’s something I really need to say, but there’s something really difficult to say, so Frontier rolled his eyes.
“That, Mr. Vinkis.”
Frontier opened his mouth as the three of them felt a little lost in their conversation.
“Yes why?”
“Maybe.”
“What?”
“If only I could draw the blueprints for the armies.”
Three pairs of wide-eyed eyes gathered at Frontier who said that.
Seeing this, Frontier smiled mischievously.
“Is that a technology leak?”
* * *
A little time passes.
“Voila! I’m here, Frontier!”
Cybel with a bright smile appeared in the laboratory.
“This guy, you should say hello to the teacher first.”
“Ah, sorry. Hello, Mr. Vinkis.”
Cybel greets politely and quickly.
After that, his father, Daud Forte, appeared.
“Hmm, nothing has changed here.”
Dawood still looked around the lab with a grim expression on his face.
Vinkis sighed and said.
“Mr. Dawood, if you come, say hello.”
“Hey, Vinkis. A long time.”
Whoops, Daud raises one hand. If one went wrong, it was like a thug. Vinkis and Dowd seemed to be friendly with each other.
Frontier was curious about their relationship, but first bowed deeply to Dowd.
“Old man, it’s been a while.”
“Hey, little boy. Do you mean to use me as an excuse to meet my daughter? I wouldn’t know that,”
“Dad! It’s not!!”
Daud’s words were interrupted by Cybel’s cry.
‘If you think so, why did you bring your daughter?’
Frontier only sang Daud in the first place. It was rather Daud’s side that brought Cybel.
“So, what am I supposed to do?”
Dowd asked Vinkis.
“I’m going to show you that from now on.”
“What are you doing?”
In response to Daoud’s reply, Vinkis walked towards somewhere without having to answer. When he made a unique gesture in front of a certain device, the floor in the center lit up.
“Come on, Frontier. Stand in front of the light.”
Frontier followed Vinkis’s words and stood in front of the shiny floor.
“You can draw a line with mana in front of it, that is, in the glowing area. The line itself has no effect, it’s just visible. It’s a device for drawing blueprints in three dimensions.”
Frontier nodded. As a test, he reached out his hand and used mana to stir the air. The stem of mana that started from his fingertips was drawn in the air as it was. It did not fall or fall, but remained intact in the air.
“Erasing is the same as drawing. Instead, it drains mana. It’s a little confusing at first, but you’ll get used to it.”
“yes.”
“Frondie, are you good at drawing?”
“… … I do not know.”
“it’s okay. If you just draw a blueprint, you’ll be able to recognize it even if it’s a bit clumsy. Because I understand the structure of the magic machine.”
Frontier nodded.
Cybel, who was watching quietly, asked.
“… … So, are you drawing a three-dimensional blueprint here now? Frontier?”
“yes.”
“A drawing?”
“It’s in your mind.”
At Quunier’s answer, Cybel’s expression quickly changed to a strange one. But in fact, most of them looked the same.
‘Drawing three-dimensional blueprints is difficult even while looking at the drawings. Can you picture it with just what you have in your head?’
Even Vinkis couldn’t believe it so easily.
Frontier said that it would be nice to see a magic circle engineer as well, so he said so, but it was too difficult no matter how much I thought about it.
If it wasn’t for the trust in Frontier and the confidence shown in that calm expression, I would have stopped doing this a long time ago.
‘Well then.’
Frontier stretched out his hand.
His weaving transforms objects into images and puts them into the studio.
As Frontier had previously checked in the library, the image of the workshop completely coincides with reality. Therefore, the cloned weapon has the characteristics of the original weapon.
Of course, Frontier can see the structure. A perfect perspective view of things.
Frontier brought a perspective view of Elodie’s armament before her eyes.
‘I can’t draw.’
This is not a picture.
A task that even a child can do by simply adding on the visible line.
Slowly, Frontier’s hand moved.
“… … Nonsense.”
A three-dimensional blueprint that is gradually being completed in the hands of Frontier. Seeing this, Vinkis sighed.
It was really surprising to draw a blueprint without anything, but what was even more surprising was the way it was drawn.
‘it’s crazy. You can see the drawing order. I really remember it ‘perfectly’.’
Frontier draws without observing any of the basics of the blueprint. There is no distinction between the center and the periphery, which is the base, and there is no distinction between the base plate and the parts.
It’s like drawing a part instead of drawing an external design, or drawing a circuit instead of drawing a part.
I literally just draw what I remember. If you draw like that, the design itself will be ruined in no time. There must be some discrepancy in the spacing, length, and size of each other’s parts.
However, there was no such thing. While drawing in a messy order, the blueprint was completed with amazing precision.
“Wow, that’s great. right dad? Dad, are you watching?”
“Yeah, I’m watching.”
Responding to his daughter’s urging, Dowd recalled the past for a moment.
‘… … It was no coincidence then.’
Dowd had seen something like this before. It was when Frontier drew the magic circle in the vacant lot in front of his house.
Even then, Frontier was like this. He did not follow the order and rules to be followed in order to draw the magic circle. Nevertheless, the form of the magic circle was perfect.
A three-dimensional design that is more difficult than that now. However, there was no difficulty reflected in Frontier’s expression.
“… … Frontier.”
Edwin, who was watching quietly, called him.
“Yes.”
“Is that a divine power?”
Frontier laughed at the question mixed with playfulness.
This was also the first question of Edwin, who first met Frontier, with mixed feelings of inferiority. However, the connotation was completely different from that time.
So, Frontier gave me an answer other than ‘It’s a secret’.
“no.”
Being Edwin who was free from his inferiority complex, Frontier was able to talk with a smile.
“I have no such thing as divine power.”
