The was lying on a workbench in the workshop.

"Wow, it's really big in person," Reinhardt exclaimed.

Reinhardt exclaimed.

The three-meter-tall figure was a golem, the symbol of the nation.

"The structure can be found at ......."

Jin immediately starts checking the structure.

"It is an endoskeletal ...... skeleton of the <>. ......Manufactured by ...... probably <>.

Before the rise of the <>, <> could have made an <> golem.

"But the materials are ......."

Elsa, who was looking at it, spilled out.

"d*mn, this is terrible. Even if you subtract the deterioration of the material over time, it's still a terrible material.

Saki also gave her assessment with a wry smile.

"I guess. ....... The skeleton is low carbon steel...... or soft iron, and there is no coating on the joints. The exterior is bronze with gold plating. What a waste of time and money."

Reinhardt said in disgust.

<, also said,

"The quality of this one is terrible, too. I'm beginning to wonder if ...... it was really made in <."

There is a possibility that he was given a product made by a third-rate engineer who cleverly pretended that it was made in <>.

All of this is beyond time, though.

"<> is also deteriorated and terrible. It hasn't even been treated to improve its shelf life."

"...... would be faster to rebuild it."

"I guess so."

Jin agreed with Erza's comment.

"Okay, let's just keep the dimensions the same and make everything new!"

The decision was made.

"Let's use light silver for the skeleton. Of course, the joints will be coated with adamantite. The magical muscle is the Horai Island standard. The magical nerve wires should be wired to 4 lines. ......"

Jin decides on the materials and specifications.

As long as they are decided, the work can be entrusted to <.

Jin wanted to analyze the .

"First, copy it into a better quality <>," he said, "and ......."

Now that everything was ready, Jin decided to let the old man analyze the original .

<>.

It took only one second.

>

"Yes. I need information on who made it and what happened to destroy it so badly."

.

The old man began to explain: .......

* * * *

. <

The name of the creator seems to have been left in the <>.

<>.

He said that he inquired about this to <>, the controlling magic brain of <>.

> and then went out on his own.

He is from the Kingdom of Franz. He set up his workshop in the town of Saint-Fosse, south of the capital.

Up to this point, it was recorded in the .

< was created, with some speculation.

"That's great. Let me hear it."

Yes, Master (My Lord)>> * * * *

It has been more than 300 years since the war between nations ceased. The historical background at that time was, in a word, peaceful.

And the decadence that came with peace was beginning to show its signs.

was still taking place, although there was no more .

At first, it was trivial.

The skill of the soldiers, the skill of the knights with their swords, the number of magic tools and golems in their collections. .......

And it escalated little by little.

It became a comparison of the performance of golems owned by different countries.

The ranking of countries was being determined by the performance of the golems.

At that time, the Kingdom of Franz decided to create a golem that would show the authority of the king.

An up-and-coming magecraftsman, Keega Ivan Yoda, was selected.

He had created 10 golems for the Kingsguard the previous year, and was recognized both inside and outside the country.

In particular, he had defeated the golem of the Kingdom of Celuloa in a golem simulation battle between countries, and he was chosen because of his achievements.

However...

One of the royal family of the Kingdom of Celuloa (probably the second prince: the old man's note) sensed this and tried to sabotage the project.

I guess, he was forced to create a golem made of degraded materials, unwillingly, because his family members or their equivalents were taken hostage, and he himself was in danger of death.

This is the .

Even though it was made of deteriorated materials, the craftsmanship was so outstanding that the danger of the material could not be seen from its appearance.

Although the materials were of poor quality, they were adjusted to perform to the required specifications within a short period of time.

After the delivery, Keega Ivan Yoda disappeared.

About a week before his disappearance, a mock battle was held with the Golem of the Kingdom of Celuloa.

The Golem of the Kingdom of Celuloa is . The initial <<> was a 4 meter tall golem created 150 years ago, during the reign of King Richard, but it was a type 11 golem. <> was 3 meters tall, the same height as <>.

Both <<> and <> fought a mock battle with sticks.

At first the <> was more than a match for the , but the poor quality of the material gradually became apparent.

Within 5 minutes, they began to slow down, and after 10 minutes, they were beaten to a pulp.

The King Franz, who saw this pathetic state of affairs, ordered that the <> not even be repaired, but be disposed of.

Neither the ministers nor the people had any complaints about the disposal.

However, only one person, the then crown prince, questioned the contents of this mock battle.

He insisted, "It's not right to dispose of a golem that was paid for with the taxpayers' money.

He insisted that the golem should not be disposed of, and it was stored in an underground warehouse.

The door to the warehouse was locked with a key that only the royal family could use, and they continued to preserve it, believing that one day they would be able to analyze this disgrace. .......

.

The old man has finished his explanation.

.

He said that he could not even get a clue from the 5th column in the vicinity of the site.

"What happened to the prince of the Kingdom of Selroa?"

<

"Yes, I see. ......"

It is possible that there was some kind of conspiracy at that time, though it may be a conceit of a large country.

Keega Ivan Yoda and the Kingdom of Franz were caught up in this mysterious conspiracy.

"There's nothing we can do about it now. ......"

You can't mess with the past.

We can only do what we can for now."

Jin turned to the Sovereign once again.
