No matter what, the situation in the capital was still chaotic, and the intellectuals and the bourgeoisie were people who were stronger when there was a certain degree of stability than when there was chaos.
Especially the poor and the common people, who had an absolute majority, were so grateful that they didn't have to shiver outside on this winter day thanks to the Jaylilies.
“I guess Valencianus said ‘Valencianus’ again this time.”
He was not sensitive to the fact that Valencian had done something foolish.
Those who survived the countless deaths that have struck over the past few months were less outraged by the incidents that did not result in deaths.
He was grateful for the immediate work he had to do, and he would go out and work hard on the reconstruction projects being undertaken by the imperial family, bringing back hot soup and bread to feed his family on the way back.
In this way, Valencian's workshop was steadily completed.
A high wall surrounds the entire site, two eight-story stone research buildings, a large training ground for testing developed weapons, and six large three-story workshops built on a steel frame.
It was a workshop complex consisting of quarters and mess halls for dozens of mechanical engineers, a huge firing range and other buildings, and a landing pad for the Nibelungen.
Built to the west of the Imperial Palace, this complex was very close to the Imperial Magic Workshop, and was also quite close to the Street of Learning and the Street of Magic.
Marcus and Sereraji were a great place to recruit talented researchers.
[Seeking a graduate with talent in earth magic and destruction, a graduate who finds drawing spell circuits and sorcery circuits more fun than eating bread, and a graduate who treats magic as an academic discipline rather than a mystery.
Regardless of cadet gangster history.
[A huge salary, room and board, and the possibility of death from overwork. The excitement of pioneering a new discipline.]
It was an announcement from the Iron Blood Lord Marcus.
[Looking for a graduate who is talented in lightning magic and earth magic, a graduate who wants to walk the path of mystery to the end as an explorer, a graduate who can't sleep because he loves magic.
Regardless of cadet gangster history.
[A huge salary, room and board, and the possibility of death from overwork. The excitement of pioneering a new discipline.]
It was an announcement in Sereraji.
The front was different, but the back was the same.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s not just okay, it’s awesome! Those two!”
“I need to get a job soon. I can’t live like this forever.”
In this world, overwork is common sense, so what's important is whether or not overwork brings money and learning.
Students from the Faculty of Magic who had made a name for themselves in Jin's student council came to see him with letters of introduction.
Notorious cadet thugs sought employment to avoid conscription in Helena.
The failed graduation information session resulted in countless talented people rushing to find jobs.
“You’ve been a top student at Helios Academy for three years in a row in the elective major, and you’ve even had an exchange with cadets from the ivory tower. With this level of talent, you’re the best you can find outside of the ivory tower. You’ve passed.”
“Your lightning skills are just okay, but you’re talented in the magic of giving. Being able to carve magic circuits well is a good talent. You pass.”
“A cadet with a background as a gangster? You’ve been working under Katalin for the past five months? That makes you almost a Warlock. Yes. Warlocks don’t accept people with backgrounds as gangsters. But I’m not a Warlock. I’m a pass.”
Many magicians gathered under Sereraji, a magician who had reached the realm of the 6th circle in his 20s.
“Your grades weren’t very good, but you used earth magic to change the structure of a building, create a secret room, and then conducted research and experiments with black magic with your colleagues. You seem to have a talent for spatial awareness and magic. Let’s go together.”
“Majored in earth magic. My father also ran a metal refining business using earth magic. When the price of copper went up, he was caught melting down coins and selling them as ingots, so he was suspended. Hmm. He’s exactly the kind of person I’ve been looking for. Let’s go see the future together.”
“A 4th circle destroyer and enchanter. You can engrave force field magic on your armor, and you created a magic tool using the spear of power as your graduation project. You understand flight magic and anti-gravity magic as spells, not sorcery? Welcome.”
Those who saw the future, not madness, lined up to see the Great Lord, once considered the most dangerous in the West.
like that.
Grand Duke Valencianus.
Serenade, the master of the Flash Workshop.
Marquis Marcus, head of the Magic Engineering Laboratory.
Countless talented people gathered under these three people.
There was even a rumor going around that the scoundrel Valencianus had set up his own court, avoiding the eyes of Jaerilis.
“Are you perhaps preparing for a rebellion?”
“If so, it would have been done before the oath of allegiance began. Or when His Majesty went missing. Still, I am uneasy.”
A rascal who wields the power of dragons and spirits, the best magic engineer in the West, and a 6th circle level magician in his 20s.
Those three had dozens of knights, airmen, and excellent magicians under their command, and they developed and sold magical tools, so it was understandable to say that.
That historic place, indeed.
“So why are you so wary of the sorcery circuit?”
“What do you think you can do with something you can’t analyze!”
“Okay! First, both of you calm down and let’s take care of the mechanical knights’ armor!”
It was a mess.
* * *
“No. Why are you so reluctant to use the magic circuit? After all, magic is a mystery and a sense. It is a power that only the chosen ones can use! Shouldn’t we make full use of it to protect our absolute position?”
Sereraji's yellow eyes flashed and he struck the floor with his staff.
She was cautious about actively using the magic circuit in all future research and development processes.
Both the sorcery circuit and the spell circuit were subdivisions of the magic circuit, the difference being whether the principles by which magic was manifested were completely revealed or not.
The sorcery circuit was something that had to be carved based on the wizard's talent, effort, and senses without a clear principle, while the spell circuit was something that any wizard could carve since the principle was completely clear.
And Sereraji was more wary of the craftsmanship of magicians than anyone else, so he liked a magic circuit where each and every magician could be treated to the utmost.
“As I said, magic is a mystery. And what we do is to uncover and analyze the mystery. But do you think it’s like a wizard to just say, ‘Oh, that works,’ and write about something you can’t understand or explain?”
Marcus roared, his black eye about to pop out.
He initially described himself as a magic engineer rather than a wizard, and armed both his machine knights and his magic gunners with mass-produced equipment.
In order to survive in a future where eroders, old things, foreign objects, and magical realms will increase, it was believed that a system that could mass-produce magical tools at any time was important.
Therefore, he wanted to use only spell circuits whose principles had already been discovered for all magical tools.
“Don’t you know that if wizards try to force spells beyond their talents, they will be corrupted by mental contamination?”
“Say you will walk because you are afraid of carriage accidents. In the end, it is the path you must take. Why are you so wary of the craftsman? This is a way to make you more valuable as a researcher rather than a fighter.”
so.

If it's the wizard's craftsmanship, it's the Serenade that makes you shiver.
Marcus, who has been working hard to become a wizard.
It was inevitable that we would collide like this.
Of course, I was very satisfied with just gathering the two people who had died in vain before the regression in one place.
I had expected this fight to some extent and had come up with my own solution.
I cleared my throat and looked at them both.
Two eyes of different colors and materials looked at me.
“First of all, isn’t it almost April already?”
It was April when cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
As I built my workshop and recruited my disciples, winter passed by in an instant.
“And we haven’t even started researching for months.”
“… … I can’t help it.”
“In fact, magical research takes years or even decades to produce results.”
“But I have to start. Why do you think His Majesty the Emperor would let me play with the land? It’s because he expected the synergy that would come from the two of us meeting.”
“… … .”
“You know that this workshop was built on land stolen from the dead, right? … … Of course, I chose the most likely unaccounted for people, but what was stolen was stolen. Then at the very least, thanks to your sacrifices, we were able to create something like this. Right?”
“I'm sorry.”
“Let’s gradually work out our differences of opinion. In terms of future research, let’s go in the direction where I develop pure technology and Marcus commercializes and turns it into a tool.”
Sereraji nodded slightly.
He was smiling bashfully, but there was a hidden satisfaction on his lips.
Since pure technique is hers, she would plan to weave all the magic into a magic circuit.
Of course, Marcus was laughing too.
The black eyes, each with a slightly different color, shone coldly.
His eyes were filled with confidence that he could interpret anything he brought in and turn it into a formula.
I concluded by suggesting the following footprints.
“I think it would be good to start with a technical exchange. If we know what each other can do, we can adjust accordingly.”
* * *
“Get out of the way! It’s dangerous!”
“His Highness the Grand Duke is coming to Sereraji! Everyone, stand down!”
Sereraji's two senior disciples, Lorraine and Topiol, carried endless loads.
It was almost all of the research materials that had been piled up in the Imperial Magic Workshop given to Sereraji.
She sat Marcus down in front of her and opened the books one by one.
“These are the lightning techniques I developed. They are called ‘Infiltration’ and ‘Diffusion’ respectively.”
No matter what, the two were geniuses among geniuses.
In Sereraji, they chatted for a long time, using a lot of professional jargon, and Marcus understood everything they said perfectly.
“If you think about using it with earth magic… … you don’t need to store the ultra-fine silver wire mesh to fire lightning nets from the armor anymore. Then you can take out this part as a whole, and by engraving the earth spell ‘Steel Binding’ circuit in that space, you can instantly create a net. The magazine capacity limit will also be considerably relaxed.”
“How about referring to this part for creation? It was developed to heal the body of my younger brother Yongchan, and it is called materialization and mana transformation.”
“With just a little bit of tweaking, it could be ready for use. No, even if you just apply it like this… … .”
Several features have been added to the armor of the mechanical knights.
Unlike before, using some spells such as Lightning Net has become much faster and more diverse.
The blank areas are engraved with magic circles that add new functions or enhance strength.
“It’s called purification using flames. I saw my younger brother do it and tried making it into a spell. If you use it, you can increase your erosion resistance.”
“… … This is a tremendous discovery. Only two, no, three people have been studying this for a while. What would happen if it became known that erosion could be resisted without relying on the church?”
“It’s good to be able to communicate.”
“I will apply it to the knights’ armor and the magic gun unit’s armor right away. The stronger the weapons, the higher the risk when they are eroded.”
We also shared new technologies that emerged during the past incident.
“The space series that opens or closes the magic mirror is said to be a collaboration of destruction and lightning. I understand the lightning part perfectly, but you are better at destruction.”
“There are some parts that inevitably have to be custom-made in order to commercialize them.”
“How about finding a common denominator? If it’s old and it’s a demonic realm, let’s assume that it only picks out the core parts that it can’t help but have and damages it… … .”
We naturally started putting our heads together and studying.
Of course, blood, sweat, and tears were shed during the process.
“I want to go home.”
“How many hours did you sleep this week?”
“You still think units are hours? I think minutes.”
“No. Don’t you know what sleepiness means to Sereraji?”
“Who wants more coffee?”
“Me. Add twelve shots.”
Whenever Rudy and I visited this place, we noticed that the faces of our disciples and assistants darkened.
It was a familiar sight to me, so I passed out the sandwich and vitality potion without saying a word.
“Did you get some sleep?”
Rudy grabbed an assistant and asked him.
“Ah, Your Majesty Rudy. It’s nice to see you again. I haven’t slept since then.”
The assistant answered with a chuckle.
“Yes? I came three days ago. You said you stayed up all night for two days back then, right?”
“Originally. I can’t sleep until all the plans are out. There are twelve left, but, oh. I heard His Majesty Rudy is looking for you over there. Can you go right away? I heard he’s doing something related to the magic gun.”
