"Is this really magic equipment? No, should it be said to be a magic machine?"

Xingke said a little surprised after the preliminary inspection.

I have clearly asserted that "this is a world with almost no mystery", is it now time for a slap in the face?

Why is it that the person in charge of [being slapped in the face] in other families is just a passerby and a rich second generation, but when they come to your place, they are here by themselves?

Poisonous?

Kou Kou did not see Xing Ke's strange expression change, but heard Xing Ke's voice and came up to ask:

"How about it? Is this a magic item?"

"...I admit, this is a walking fortress driven by magic. Can we call it a [magic tank]? It's a bit vulgar.

It's just that this one is a little too old and completely broken.

The runes on it seemed very clear, but they couldn't withstand the addition of magic power.

To put it simply, he used to be a king until he got old."

Time is really not forgiving. As Xingke further perceives it, he must at least know his basic working principle?

"This is not unexpected. I didn't expect him to have much combat power. I don't lack tanks."

Kou Kou approached the star, pointed somewhere with her finger and said:

"Do you know how powerful that cannon barrel is with a terrifying caliber?"

Following the direction that Kou Kou pointed, Xingji also began to carefully observe the barrel of the gun, which was indeed much larger than that of modern tanks.

"I don't know. It's not a technological artillery shell. The greater the caliber, the greater the power.

Magic doesn't depend on its size. You see, for example, I can fire a pure magic energy shell that is as big as a football and can blow up a football field. But if I compress it into the size of a table tennis ball and then throw it out, he says it's wrong.

Probably blow up two football fields."

Xing Ke gestured with his hands and started explaining like a teacher (who he was), completely forgetting that he was planning to hide the secret from Kou Kou just now to tease her.

"So, if this weird eight-spider-legged machine can really fire cannonballs made of magic power, the power will not be determined by the caliber, but by the solidity of the material and the advancement of the [pressurization assist] system."

Xing Ke summarizes it in a simple and easy-to-understand way...

"Why does it feel like a water gun?"

How to make a kindergarten curriculum that makes water guns hurt more?

"...Ahem, metaphor, I am just using a metaphor, otherwise people without magic vision would not be able to understand the state of magic power."

It seems that pretending to be mysterious in front of her was the right choice in the past.

Now Xingke is trying his best to restore all his reputation, and then changes the topic:

"Where was this found?"

Xing Ke silently turned on the [Lie Detection Light (Lie)]. Although he still knew how to read people, Xing Ke was too lazy to look at it now.

If she dares to tell the truth that it is actually "contraband on the other side of the door", Xingke will have to find a way to make her bankrupt.

"It's the outpost above. Originally we just wanted to stay for two days, but there were people stationed there and the living facilities were complete.

Just for the purpose of concealment and deception, there is only a team of five people.

Then Falme went to investigate the security risks of the outpost, and mistakenly entered an abandoned basement, and then the thing started to move... and then that was it."

Koko is innocent.

There was just one thing she didn't say, and that was how they could move it down because it was so big.

When Xingji was just up there, he seemed to hear Kou Kou saying that there was no circuit in the internal structure...

This means that the tattered and twisted thing that Mingxing sees now has actually been completely dismantled and put back together again.

This is a cup.

Then, Xingke continued to ask:

"How much do you know about the city called [Sez]?"

This time, Kou Kou asked with a confused look on her face:

"Is this my first time here in person?

I just heard from my customers that that town was originally a natural barrier, and no one among them knew that their country was actually setting up a material transfer station."

"That's all?"

Xingke stood up from the huge machine and patted the dust on his hands: "Do you want to take this thing back to the laboratory for testing?"

"Yes."

"Congratulations! You will get a metal smelting method with little industrial value."

The specialty of this metal is that it has good adaptability to the flow of magic power. If it is combined with runes such as [Reinforcement], [Weight Loss], [Polarizing Stand], etc., it can definitely be a versatile metal, but without magic power, it is a waste material.

.

"Please enlighten me."

It seems that she trusts Xingke's judgment very much, and Koko seeks ways to maximize profits.

"Metal samples, rune rubbings and physical structure diagrams."

"make a deal."

In two words, the deal was done.

It’s not surprising. Whoever found this pile of wreckage belongs to whoever found it. There is no need for it, and the star carving will not rob it. There are metal samples and rune rubbings. If there is no shortage of money and knowledge, the star carving can build a better one.

.

"Since we know that this thing comes from the fortress's warehouse hundreds of years ago, why don't we investigate the customs of this generation? Myths and legends, biographical collections, festival customs...

Maybe some clues can be shed.

Magic will always be spread in legends, right?"

Koko crossed her hands and fingers in front of her and thought for a moment.

"This is indeed the truth, but wasting manpower and material resources to find a needle in a haystack is not worth the gain.

I run on the sea every day, but I have never encountered a treasure."

"I see, what you have been pursuing from the beginning is money..."

"No, the antique market is so mixed with dragons and snakes that I can't get enough of my money."

This is true.

For example, [the authentic mummy has long been in the hands of a personal collector], who can accept this kind of thing without knowing whether it is true or false?

"Okay, the clues are actually here.

Do you know the allusion to the Sezi Water-Splashing Festival?”

Koko shook her head, she only knew that it was a festival for blessing by splashing water.

"...Let's start with the demon god who breathes fire from his mouth."

After that, Xingke even used his words to convey to Kou Kou the story told to him by his eldest sister who bought drinks and worked part-time as a teacher (if necessary, go ahead two chapters).

If this were a game, I feel like the unknown demon god's legend must be +1.

"You mean, in this story, the [giant spider] that helps the girls fight off the devil is..."

Koko suddenly woke up after hearing this, and turned to look at the eight-legged [Magic Tank].

"Of course this thing is a [land-walking war fortress] in the eyes of a weapons dealer like you, but in the eyes of the ancients, isn't this a [giant spider]?

Eight legs, huge abdomen, long mouthparts..."

Changing his tone of voice, Xingji proposed:

"Since there are spiders, then the other things may also be real - [golden horn], [sword that cuts off the demon's head], [fireproof cloth]...
