Genius Engineer in the Labyrinth - Chapter 361

Disciple (1)

Although the word ‘in’ is included because the target is a person, it is originally a genetic modification method that mixes the dragon’s factor into a living creature.

Lizardmen believe that the dragons are their ancestors, but scholars who know about dragon culture believe that they were created out of necessity for the dragon race.

Whatever the truth, Alan had more important things to do. A few days after completing his first tolerance experiment, he woke up with a pressure in his chest.

When I opened my eyes, the little one was on my chest, pressing down on me with his front paws.

“Do you want to go out?”

Qur.

The little boy, who had become more active recently, ran out as soon as the door was opened. Then he headed to the treasure vault that he had hidden away.

A little dust rose, and a sound of something falling was heard, and then a small thing rose from the corner. It was a skeletal rat. The one that had let out a loud roar had become a toy for a little boy.

Only the white bones remained, and it ran around rattling, and the little one followed behind. The morning sunlight glided across its black scales, shining like obsidian.

Shiva, who was enjoying a lively morning, followed the little one with his eyes and asked.

“Brother, where did you use the rest of the parts?”

“Food.”

“yes?”

Shiva recalled the days when he had a blast with Taylor in various holy waters. It was necessary to stay away from alcohol for a while to undergo the tolerance treatment.

Different kinds of food require different kinds of side dishes. I enjoyed different kinds of jerky, and among them there was jerky.

“no way···.”

“I heard you ate well.”

“I will forever remember the delicious sacrifice of Mr. Rat, who not only solved my research but also my hunger.”

“Why do you remember Shiva? The rat was eaten by the little boy.”

The rats that received the Yong-in-hwa treatment were like living elixirs, and thanks to them, the little ones became much more active.

“Oh, that’s fortunate.”

Shiva’s hands were much more steady as he groomed his beard.

“Did you create the rat undead, brother?”

“No. The kid followed along after seeing me apply the necromancy to the automaton. It’s nice that I only had to show him once, unlike other people.”

“Brother Alan and the kid are special.”

“I know.”

Alan isn’t stupid and doesn’t know the difference. He doesn’t say it out loud, but he knows how he appears to others.

While I was watching the little boy’s tricks and exercises, the basement door opened. Nicola, with dark circles under his eyes, came up and sat down on the sofa.

“after···.”

What kind of work would tire a body of depth 5? It was research. As expected of a wizard, he was so enthusiastic that he didn’t even hesitate to work through the night.

Nicola was a natural graduate student, a talent that Oros would have liked. Of course, Alan had him at his disposal now. He has hypermania and must make sure he gets the right amount of sleep, but thanks to Nicola, he was able to conduct research that he couldn’t do before.

Nicola just turned her eyes towards Alan.

“Is it comfortable for you to leave everything to me?”

“Shall I let you rest?”

“It’s a little scary when you say things like that.”

Shiva nodded in agreement. Nicola gave him a fist bump and said,

“Research comes before health. If you have any more work to do, give it to me quickly.”

“At first, I wasn’t very keen on it.”

“At that time, I didn’t know what secrets you were hiding. Since you were self-taught, your approach was completely different, and I didn’t expect to see magical engineering knowledge that seemed to have been passed down and developed over several generations. But aren’t you telling me too easily?”

“You signed an additional contract, right? And in exchange for using the Lord Matap’s warehouse, Nicola was essentially eliminated from the line of succession.”

“It’s not about being eliminated, it’s about investing in the future. I didn’t give up.”

In any case, if something came, it had to be paid for. If it hadn’t been for Nicola’s warehouse raid, it would have taken months to procure the materials.

“Then I’ll go back down.”

“I’m going to a different place today.”

Just then, a box came up from the basement. The guy’s drawer was filled with the results of Alan and Nicola’s work.

“Finally, it’s being applied to people.”

“He’s at Western Sky.”

“It was somehow quiet.”

Since Yohwa, a brilliant doctor and pharmaceutical company, had brought Taylor’s condition back to its peak, all that was left to do was perform the procedure.

“Let’s go now.”

Alan stood up from the sofa and spread his arms slightly. His body rose slightly, and the power suit that had been standing on the stand leaped through the space and was attached to his body.

I watched as Nicola landed with a soft thud.

“Spatial magic is really a scam.”

“It’s not magic.”

“Oh, that’s right. It’s even harder to believe that a single rune can do that kind of thing. Tell me that too.”

“No.”

As Alan put on his power suit, the little boy came running towards him. He used the outside curve as a stepping stone and dove into the chest.

Upon arriving at Western Sky, there was a ‘Vacation’ sign hanging at the entrance. Alan ignored it and went inside.

Refreshing air and lush greenery greeted the visitors. Eyes tired of the dull gray jungle felt at ease.

Normally, a demon would have come out to greet us, but today, the plants had moved and turned into arrows. Following it, we saw a large tree where the demon usually resides. As we approached, it spread out to the left and right, and stairs leading down appeared.

There was a whole other world underground. Colorful and precious flowers filled the air everywhere. It was a sight that showed why the name of the pharmacy was Western Sky.

Even without wind, the flowers swayed. In the direction where the guys were lying down at the same time, a fairy was standing.

“Come in.”

“hello.”

“I’ve prepared everything.”

As the fairy moved aside, the piled up flower petals scattered and Taylor was revealed. He was lying asleep in a transparent bathtub.

“Now that we’ve said hello, let’s get started right away.”

“That’s just like you.”

Shiva rose to the ground as expected, and Zion, who was hesitating, was pulled by the demon.

“You come with me.”

“why?”

“Your younger brother asked you to teach him what a court lady is.”

“No need.”

Zion refused coldly, but followed along obediently as the demon whispered something to Alan.

Thanks to the flowers having disappeared by their roots, a fairly large open space was created. When Alan opened his clasped hands, the compressed magic circle revealed its true form.

“You claim to be an engineer while using magic.”

“Let’s focus.”

Nicola groaned as she packed away the items in the box. She placed the life-support system near the tub and connected the dangling cables and pipes to Taylor’s head and torso.

“I’m ready. I need to remove the magicware too.”

“That’s easy.”

As Alan pointed, Taylor’s body, or rather the magicware, began to twitch. It detached itself with a squelching sound.

Only Taylor’s head and part of her chest were her original body, while 80 percent was magicware. The rest of her body suddenly stood up and walked out.

“How many backdoors have you planted?”

“Please call it a maintenance device.”

Only Taylor’s head remained in the bathtub. If a stranger had seen it, it would have been a scene of brutal murder.

“Fill it now.”

“how much?”

“It’s full.”

As Nicola turned the valve on the pot, a bright red liquid gushed into the bathtub. It was a lot, considering Taylor had lost most of his body.

“Okay.”

The red liquid completely obscured Taylor’s appearance. Alan placed the octopus-like automaton into the nearly overflowing bathtub and activated the magic circle.

Alan stood in the center of the circle drawn with magic stones and supplied magic power. As a result of the experiment, the magic stone produced much better results than the magic stone, and the magic power of the magic stone was much better than that of the magic stone.

The bathtub was boiling. The red liquid looked like lava. The hot air filled the basement. The flowers were showing off their freshness even in temperatures that should have made them wither.

“Huh, huh, huh!”

Nicola absorbed as much of the wasted magic as possible. The underground flower garden was filled with a pure and powerful power like a dragon vein.

“Please hold your breath and concentrate.”

“It’s like they’re telling me to die….”

Nicola took as many shallow breaths as Alan had requested.

As time passed, the octopus that Alan had placed in threw something round out. It was Taylor’s artificial eye. The optic nerve of the eye moved like a leg and entered the drawer of the box.

Nicola held back, even though she looked like she had a lot to say.

The next magicware that popped out was a brain expansion device. Pain control devices and hormone controllers also floated up. The box retrieved them directly.

Nicola’s face looked relaxed this time.

The red liquid in the bathtub gradually became lighter in color, and the submerged silhouette continued to darken. And then grew larger. After 10 hours, the water turned transparent.

Taylor’s body was clearly visible. He had shrunk considerably. He had been covered in magicware and was similar to an orc with an average height of 220cm, but now he was just over 190cm.

His skin was very taut, so he looked like he was in his 40s rather than old, and there were red scales all over his body, as if to prove that he was a dragon.

“Take it out.”

“yes.”

Nicola, who had been watching, pulled the plug out of the bathtub and let the water run. The flowers that had been gathered together slowly moved towards the wet ground.

When the life support machine was removed, Taylor’s breathing could be heard clearly, but her eyes were still closed.

“Will you wake up when the time comes?”

“You must have slept a lot, so let’s wake you up.”

As Alan snapped his fingers, the octopus that had remained in the bathtub put its electrically engulfed paw to its chest.

“evil!”

Taylor jumped up. She met Alan’s eyes and looked down. She turned her back to him and examined something on her lower body.

Beep!

“thanks.”

Taylor turned around, wearing the bathrobe the box had handed her, and spoke cautiously.

“Alan, something is wrong.”

“There was a mistake? The vital signs are normal…”

Alan observed Taylor’s body. Although there was a slight margin of error, the results were within expectations.

“The renovation was a success.”

“Master, don’t you feel the powerful power flowing through your body? Has your body become dull because you only wear magic wear? The open space is wide. Why don’t you run a few laps?”

“No, that’s not it. It’s a man’s pride. It’s not supposed to be this size… Ahem.”

Nicola, being a man, also glanced down. But Alan only looked into Taylor’s eyes.

“I think they must have reproduced your genetic information exactly.”

“···.”

Taylor hesitated, Nicola became silent. Alan threw a stone into the quiet atmosphere.

“If you don’t like it, I’ll cut it and change it to a magic stick like before…”

“Inhumane guy!”

“Devil! Devil! Monster!”

Taylor and Nicola shouted at the same time.

The demon came down after sensing the commotion. Zion put on some makeup and a skirt, but she continued to act awkward and hid behind the demon.

“Your little brother has become more handsome.”

“Heh heh heh.”

Taylor just laughed like an idiot at the fairy’s compliments.

Shiva also showed up late, his beard was all messed up and he had accessories hanging all over him, as if he had been fooled by the fairies’ prank.

“Brother, I feel strong.”

“I think you’d be happy to receive it too.”

Unfortunately, Shiva and Yong In-hwa did not get along well. There was a conflict with the body modification that involved transplanting the remains of a saint.

Alan guessed why.

‘It means that the mother is related to the dragon species. Either the mother is a dragon species or she was influenced by another path over time.’

There was another thing I felt.

‘Toleration is not a result, it is a process.’

It felt like a byproduct of trying to reach a certain path. I had a feeling about the identity of something that lay at the end of the path.

‘The flesh of Catan.’

A destination the world is trying to recreate, but has not yet succeeded in achieving.

Taylor needed some time to adjust to the new world, so for a while he planned to search for traces of Catan on the ground.
