"d*mn ......"

"Too bad. ......"

 Jix and Ganno were seized by the five-colored golem maids, their faces contorted in frustration.

 Then Erza, their doppelganger, quietly approached them.

"Hey, what do you want?"

 Erza did not answer, but held her right hand to Jix's forehead.

"What, what, what!"

 Erza (her doppelganger) examines Jix without any response. She is even more silent than Erza herself.

 After Jix's examination, Ganno is next.

"What the hell, woman!"

 The golem maid further presses down on the writhing Ganno.

 She puts her hand on Ganno's forehead when he stops moving and activates her magic.

"......"

 King Cesar, seeing Erza's doppelganger with a difficult face, asked with interest.

"Elsa Ehime, did you understand something?"

"...... Yes. It seems that has accumulated in her head and she is unable to make proper judgments.

 Elsa (her doppelganger) explains in a way that is easy to understand for King Cesar and the others.

"My God!"

"Then, if I treat her, will she become docile?"

"At least, I think she will be able to make normal judgments.

That's good news. Well then, let's go back to the second guest house.



 The group moves using the carriage they rode in and Ganno's carriage. Ganno and the others are bound with ropes.

 The golem maid is serving as the leader.

"...... Is this somehow going to be the end of the ruckus?"

 Jin muttered as he leaned back in his chair in the Horaijima command center.

"...... hmm. But I think I should be the one to do the brain treatment."

"Oh, I see. Then let's switch again."

 Jin and Erza (her doppelganger) stopped by to get medicine for the examination, and switched places with the real one.

 Of course, he also brought the <> with him.



 Jix and Ganno were taken to the infirmary of the second guest house.

 On the way there, they were so violent that they were stunned. Now he can examine the patient slowly.

"<>"

 Once again, Elsa examined the patient herself.

"......As I thought, there is an accumulation of metal-like foreign substances here and there in the body.

 As Jin does not know the detailed symptoms and mechanism of mercury poisoning, he can only try to remove the accumulated .

 The same goes for Elsa.

"Remove the foreign substance. ......<>"



 This <> is an engineering magic to separate and extract specific components. It is not effective for unknown substances, but it is possible to extract only unknown substances from known substances.

 Elsa is applying this to the human body.

 Since the components of the human body are known, the other substances are the ones causing the intoxication.

 The extracted substance is a small gray powder. Jin wondered if it was a compound.

"It's dangerous, let's put it in a bottle."

 Jin gives Jix the recovery potion and puts the gray powder in the empty bottle. Of course, he does not touch it with his hand. He used wind magic to collect the powder in the bottle.

 The same thing was done to Ganno, who was given a recovery potion and the procedure was completed.



"......The bottom line is that the poison had gotten into his head and he had lost control of his emotions.

 Elsa explained again.

 King Cesar listened in silence, then opened his mouth with a difficult look on his face.

"I understand. However, the sins of these two men will not disappear. They have tried to harm me, Ragedo, and Latant.

 There is no custom in this world to tolerate such things because they are drunk.

"Well, I can only mitigate it a little by taking Elsa Ehime's diagnosis into account."

 I guess that is inevitable.

 It is not that I jumped into the Golem competition (gompetition) earlier, but if we make special exceptions all the time, the law will lose its meaning.



Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 King Cesar concluded, "It is wrong for a man who makes laws and makes people abide by them to take the initiative in making exceptions to them.



 Various measures were then taken.

 First, the ten golems whose heads and torsos had been severed were retrieved.

 Then, the golems that had stopped moving were retrieved.

 Knowing that they would start moving again once they recovered from the low-temperature coagulation, Jin took care of this by extracting the <> from them.

< it with , but it would have been a shame to erase its contents, so this strategy was adopted.



"Now, what is the true identity of the <>?

 Since this was an official request from the Kingdom of Cerroa, Jin began analyzing the golem with Reiko as his assistant. Erza is observing.

 The place is a small workshop in the second guest house. This is a room equipped for the repair and renewal of equipment.

 Witnessed by Mr. Latant, Secretary of the First Ministry of Technology.

 There was still a small amount of in the barrels that Jix and his team were carrying.

 First, they try to analyze it.

 Then, I tried to analyze it.

"......I guessed it was < after all. ......"

 It turned out to be <> of mercury.

 It is like silver and mithril silver.

 Jin refused to give it to Latant, the director of the First Ministry of Technology, because he wanted to bring it home for study, and obtained a liter or so of the <.

 This was also to be carried in a bottle.

"Is it bad to use a metal container?

 Latant asked.

"Yes, this is and it will dissolve all kinds of metals.

 When I told him this, Latant seemed surprised.

"Oh my God! Is that so?"

"Yes. Some alchemists must know that."

"Hmmm... ......"

 Because of the existence of magic in this world, metal refining methods are not so well developed.

 It seems that there is not even an << ash-blowing method> for separating gold and silver from ore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com




In the <<< ash-blowing method>>, gold and silver ores are crushed and heated together with lead, and the gold and silver are dissolved in the molten lead as an alloy before being heated further. If sufficient air is supplied during this process, the lead is separated from the gold and silver as lead oxide.

 By using a porous refractory vessel, only the lead oxide is absorbed and the alloy of gold and silver remains in the vessel.

 In Japan, this method seems to have been used at the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine.

 In this process, mercury can be used instead of lead. This method is called the amalgamation method and requires less fuel, but is far from practical because the evaporated mercury, or mercury vapor, is harmful to the human body.

 Jin thought that he would explain the dangers of mercury in detail later.

 At that time, the news came that Jix and the others had awakened, and Jin and the others left the small workshop to be present during the interrogation.
