Magicraft Meister Part 1

Bardius nodded in agreement to Jin's request for black wheat berries and Vietra seeds.

"Yes, I understand. Of course, I don't think that will be enough. For a start, you mean?

"Well, yes."

With this, Lorona leaves the room. She seems to have gone to prepare seeds.

Radeous returned in his place.

"Jin-dono, we have prepared the materials in our workshop. Could you please check on them?　If anything is missing, we will have it ready for you.

"Yes, sir. Let's go.

Accompanied by Reiko, Jin (his double) went to the prepared workshop.

"The sea is calm during the summer, but in the winter it can be rough, with waves up to 10 meters high.

"You can't even launch a boat."

Jin bumped into Istaris and Zion as they were explaining this to Ann.

"Father, Jin-sama, where are you going?"

"Well, Jin-sama is making a golem for me, so I'm going to his workshop."

"Oh my!　Father, may I join you?

"Oh, me too!"

Radeous looked at Jin with a troubled face. He seemed like a father with a soft spot for his daughter. Or perhaps he was sorry for kicking out the clan the other day, albeit falsely.

"...... I'd like Anne to help you, too, so you two can come."

"Wow!　Thank you, Jin!"

Zion was in a good mood to be able to see Jin's skills up close. Istaris, too, seemed to be excited inside, though he did not say so, and his cheeks were flushed.

< clan are basically made of stone. The material used is floating stone tuff, a member of the Oya stone family.

It is the same stone material used in Potrock, a port town in the southern part of the Kingdom of Elias, where Jin once participated in a golem boat race. However, the color of this stone is more greenish.

It seems that this stone material is used because it is resistant to salt damage and has excellent heat retention properties due to its low thermal conductivity.

Each house is a one-story building with only a small window on the seaward side. Istaris said that this was to keep the houses warm and to protect them from the winter monsoon.

Most of the roads between the houses are four meters wide. They are wide in relation to the size of the houses.

The workshop we came to on such a road was located on the eastern edge of the settlement. It was built in a half-underground structure with a high ceiling compared to the height of the house.

The materials are stacked in the corner of the workshop.

Jin checks the metal materials, first of all, large ingots of copper and iron. Smaller ingots of tin and light silver. Small ingots of tin and light silver, and a small lump of adamantite are placed on the table.

As material for muscles, a considerable amount of leather of magical beasts was piled up on a shelf in the corner of the workshop.

Lastly, magi crystals. A considerable amount of each attribute was also on the shelves.

"Yes, we should be able to make something pretty good with this much.

Jin nodded his head. Since it was not for combat but for farming, he only intended to make a golem with a three-person capacity at the most.

"Is there anyone who is familiar with magecraft?"

Finally, he asks for help. This is not so much a request for an assistant as it is a request for a person to do the subsequent maintenance.

We have a few, but the best ones are at .......

Maricka. I'll go get her.

With that Zion ran out.

"...... who is this Marikka?"

She is a friend of Zion's. Her grandfather was quite skilled in engineering magic.

Jin waited for Zion to come back, as he was willing to work with anyone as long as they could do maintenance. After about five minutes, Zion returned.

"Jin, thanks for waiting. ...... Marikka, that's Jin, the Magecraft Meister."

Marikka was a girl about Zion's age. She had the same silver hair, but unusually her eyes were yellow.

"It's nice to meet you. My name is Marikka. Can I help you?

She was chewing nervously.

"Yes, I'm Jin. I'm going to build an agricultural golem, and I need you to take care of its maintenance.

"Wow, wow, I can do it, can't I?"

"Oh, don't be so nervous."

Jin smiled at Marikka and gave instructions to Reiko first.

"Reiko, let's make one first. Give me the materials.

"Yes."

Jin decides to go with a basic golem made of bronze.

He started by making bronze, an alloy of copper and tin.

Since tin is abundant, we will use a ratio of 90% copper and 10% tin. This is what is called "gunmetal.

Gunmetal is a copper alloy that was used in cannons before iron. A type of bronze, it is easy to cast and has high toughness and strength.

<>"

After determining the ratio by weight, the material is alloyed all at once. About one ton of gunmetal ingots were produced.

"What?　What in the world?

After the chanting, Marikka was astonished to see the ingot that had been created in an instant. Istaris and Zion's eyes widened and they were speechless.

"How can you make such a huge ingot all at once?

No one, not even the demon tribe that boasts a high amount of magic power, could do what Jin had just shown them.

"Well, what should I do?"

Here is Jin's double, who has only about one-third of Jin's engineering magic ability.

"This is the proof that you are a magical engineer 《"Magicraft Meister》!"

Radeous shouted loudly in agreement. The others also managed to calm themselves down.

"Each body weighs 50 kilos of bronze."

< for the time being.

"What?

Marikka is surprised again. If it were Jin himself, he would easily divide it into 20 pieces.

"I'll make the skeleton. Reiko, help me.

Yes.

"The joints will be coated with a thin layer of adamantite to make them more durable. ...... Marikka, right?　Are you seeing this?

Yes.

"For the muscles, ...... what kind of leather is that?"

Jin tilted his head as he picked up the leather of the magical beast for magical muscles. If it were a real one, he might be able to tell without touching it, but I guess that's the limit of a substitute doll (double).

"It's probably a groundworm leather," he said.

This is the groundworm that attacked Capricorn 1 the other day.

"I see. It's not bad quality.

The leather is torn into thin strips, twisted into muscle, and arranged. Reiko assisted him, and in about 20 minutes he had the muscles in place.

"Wow. ......."

Marikka is stunned. It's no wonder they don't even have a proper Magecraftsman, let alone a Magecraftsman.

"All right, prepare the ether tank and the free-magic furnace.

Jin intends to unify the system with the backward compatible system used by Reiko and the others, assuming that it will be used in areas with high concentration of free magical element (ether).

The magic nerve is mithril silver," he said. ...... Marikka, because if this one runs out, it will malfunction, right?"

"huh?

"So, control core," he said. ......Agricultural knowledge will be the main focus, so Reiko."

"Yes."

The control core is built around the agricultural know-how cultivated by the golem maids of Horai Island. The old man created it and sent it to us through the warp gate.

"We are going to use this as a master and copy it.

After this, the exterior was installed, and the first one was completed in about an hour.

"Is it already done?"

"......, you are very fast."

"Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Theon, Istaris, and Marikka each give their impressions. Marikka is still chewing.

"Jin-dono, I am impressed.

Finally, Radeous bowed his head.

"What?"

"The skill of a Magecraft Meister. You are indeed our savior."

"......"

Jin, who does not like to be praised in a grandiose manner, thinks to himself, "Oh my God.
