The Voice On The Rival's Head

Chapter 23: The Tour

In the corner there is a wide variety of items related to the construct, from the skull used as the basis of the construct, from the skull, tool tool used to unite the skull frame and tool tool used to form the cover of the construct..

Verite also noticed that there was a construct similar to the one he had fought before, one that consisted only of a long skeleton and had iron claws that could turn into a sharp bear blade.

Verite walked to the construction site and Regulus along with Verite and Poppy followed.

“It looks like you are interested in construct.” Regulus asked.

“Iya, you said you will answer my question about this construct before.” Verite pointed to the raging construct earlier.

“Ah what was your question earlier?” Say Regulus, “I'll try to answer it.” She's saying.

Verite watched this immobile construct, “How can you make him recognize people? Can you send it to attack specific targets?” Verite asked.

“Ah, the lens in her eye can read mana in the air, that's why the monster went to attack you, he saw which source was the strongest when you used your Thaumaturgy to strengthen your body and attack the closest threat to him, that was also the reason why he escaped from the lab, me and the assistants used mana and made his ability to have a target to be chaotic.” Regulus stopped, looking at some of the assistants who lowered their heads as they passed him.  “And if if I can send him to chase people, you can see for yourself.” Regulus swung his hand to show the current state of the robot.

“As this construct is still in the early development stage huh?” Verite asked.

“Regulus nodded. “True, the idea of creating a construct that could move on its own was a pre-thought but not many went through this idea because of how complicated the formula would be and how many holes holes the rules would be which should be patched.”

“It looks like this construct intelligence is still below yes.” Verite said thinking about the robots in his world.

Even in the Mefras World which has much higher technology than the world of Verite robots that can recognize faces and perform independent tasks is a dream that is still far to be achieved, they have the ability to recognize faces and follow a set of commands but they will not perform the complicated tasks that humans do.

And that also doesn't include the time and money poured into making the robot walkable, so arguably Verite's world is a bit more advanced as their construct gets the ability to balance itself.

“How does it follow directions?” Verite asked again.

“Also still in development,” Regulus replied, “This construct can catch up to the target he already saw and he will not hit the wall at all but he has no ability to remember the direction, so if he doesn't have any current to follow then this construct will stop.”

“This is something beyond my ability..”Caena commented, he is a beginner who just woke up where he has.

‘It's like talking about sin cos tangen with elementary school kids.’ Mefras said, of course, the way the construct works is still easier to explain than mathematics.

“Many things to think about and money spent to create a construct that can move and do things to its own ability, luckily Duke Bloome can finance us with his money.” Say Regulus, Verite noticed the word ‘Kita’ that Regulus mentioned.

“But you thought about it.” Say Regulus, “You won't lose if you receive it.”

“I don't know it yet.” Verite replied, he only saw a little bit of this part of the mansion, he couldn't possibly have immediately decided just by looking at the thing he wanted, he said, he was also sure there must be a flaw with working as Duke Bloome's disciple.

‘The real question is if this deficiency exceeds its advantages.’ Mefras.

“Then how about we do a full tour in this mansion? I can make you see the daily life of the workers here.” Regulus offers.

“Alright,” Verite agrees. “I'll be on your tour.”

Verite began to follow him around not only this thaumaturgy lab but also the entire mansion of Duke Bloome, Caena looked amazed at what he saw and Verite did not blame him.

One of the amazing things Verite saw was the lab part that was researching plants, he didn't see anything as fantastic as plants that could eat humans (Never Regulus said such a plant existed) but fruit and vegetables were developed in this lab.

Regulus says this is Duke Bloome's personal project, in trying to make plants that grow faster and more easily survive in rough areas but still have sweet and delicious fruit.

While looking at this Mefras spoke of the carrots that Verite ate, the carrots that came from his world had a different color to the one Verite ate, which Verite ate, carrots that have an orange color compared to carrots that look like the roots of the plant that Verite eats.

Mefras explains that the carrots in his world have been developed for hundreds of years from root carrots that Verite eats to orange carrots that look good to eat.

The fact that Duke Bloome had already made the development that the Mefras world had been doing for so many years was proof that he was not just an ordinary Thauturgy.

Caena and Verite can even try the fruit and it tastes far from the fruit he ate in Blooming Bud But when inquiring why the fruit of this fruit is not propagated Regulus says that they are not they can grow on different lands and this is a problem they have to solve.

After that they looked at the lab chart that oversaw the workings of the human body, Regulus did not let them look more inward, he said, he explained that if Verite and Caena were able to see the contents of the human body without spilling their entrails then he would let them see his learning.

This made Verite worried that they were doing a forbidden human experiment but Regulus calmed them down that if they did this they would not let Verite and Caena enter so much and the body they could come from donors who donated their bodies with a valid letter after they died.

Hearing this Mefras spoke of ancient medical students who went to dig graves and stole corpses to study medical science so any rejection that Verite had lost there at once because at least that was Duke Bloome do so with the consent of both parties.

Verite would not be able to imagine if he had to do such a thing while being Duke Bloome's disciple.

And finally the last place they visited was…
