Chapter 14: Reina’s Crisis 2

The repair shop for the Gigant was located in a space below the arena.

It wasn’t a difficult place to find, but it was impossible to enter.

“It is prohibited for irrelevant parties to enter.”

The knights, who were guarding the gate, blocked the passage.

Luke, slowly pulled out some gold coins and held them in his hand.

“Hu, you can’t do this…”

“Don’t make loud noises, come back after taking a quick look.”

The knights, who took the bribe, opened the door, pretending to not know anything, and Luke along with Philip went inside.

Kang! Kang! Kang!

Waah! Weiing!

The heat and greasy atmosphere welcomed Luke.

Taking a step further in, Luke looked around with sharp eyes.

Every step of the way Gigants were lined up. Wizards belonging to each clan along with the riders were working hard to maintain their Gigants.

In such a place, Luke went to the place where a Gigant had been completely stripped off.

As he got closer to that, the wizards stopped him, and then the clan riders along with the mercenaries stopped him.

The outsiders were unwelcomed because they often belonged to another clan.

“What are you? A mole?”

“I just came to watch.”

At Luke’s response, the wizard let down the suspicious expression he had.

“Hmmm, no magic circle and no calluses from using tools, okay? But if you get in my way or bother me, I’ll kick you out.”

Only after confirming that Luke wasn’t a spy, he was given the right to scrutinize the work of the wizard and the structure of the Gigant.

The interior of the Gigant was much more complex yet delicate from that of the golems, which used to be just clumps of stones.

In addition, the closer he looked, the more complicated the mana flow was inside that machine.

Almost similar to the human blood and neural network.

‘Each of them is articulated meticulously with a prepared artificial magic stone. This was why such elaborate movements were possible.’

There were three important parts in such a complex and delicate Gigant.

The ‘Mana Converter’, which allowed one to unleash magic or convert it into physical aura.

The ‘Balance Device’, which was used to maintain the Gigant’s body that was made of heavy steel.

And lastly, the ‘Core Engine’.

Among them, the core engine was the most important aspect, a device that gathered mana from nature and fed it to each part of the Gigant, allowing the joints and move or concentrate the power.

To put it plainly, it was an organ that played the role of both the heart and the lungs.

Luke was shocked after seeing the organs made in such a delicate manner, yet they were more stable and efficient than the golems.

And it wasn’t all because of the completeness of the Gigant.

‘Unbelievable! This is exactly the same as what I made!’

The mana converter, the balance devices, the core engine too were completely similar.

Although some of the refinements and the additional magic circles were a bit different, the basic principles and the structure of the device were the same.

Luke took that as an opportunity and looked at the inside of the other Gigants.

“Hey kid, you wish to break your leg?”

“Get lost before I call the guards!”

In spite of the wizards and the mercenaries stopping him, Luke looked at the various parts and organs that went into the Gigants.

Although there was a difference between the new and old, high and low performances, none of the three major parts were missing, and the basic principles and structures of those main parts were all the same.

‘How did this happen? The parts are completely like the ones I made…’
