“Master, I was just starting the finishing touches.”

“Thank you for your hard work on this piece, Edric.”

After finishing his lecture as usual, Rupert stopped by the club room to check out the club members’ work.

The one who greeted Rupert like that was Edric with a pale complexion.

Even for Edric, who has better stamina than most knights, it was difficult to prepare a new animation to be presented in time for the end of semester ceremony.

Rupert, who was encouraging the members including the exhausted Edric, made eye contact with Amelia.

The two of them turned their heads hurriedly as if they were a boy and girl in puberty.

And then Rupert hurriedly asked Edric a question, fearing that the other members might notice the strange atmosphere between the two.

“Have you decided on a title for the work you are preparing this time?”

“Yes, the title is Heart of Steel.”

The story had already been completed a long time ago, and the members of the cartoon club were now in the process of drawing the final pictures for screening.

‘No matter how you look at it, the combination of the two is good.’

Rupert looked at Edric and Adrian, who were bickering over the title at this very moment, and thought.

The first work that Edric brought was, by modern standards, close to a romantic comedy.

It was a story about a boy who came to the capital to enter the Imperial Academy and the incidents that unfold as he manages the dormitories where the applicants stay.

The main story was about a boy who meets a girl who resembles his childhood friend with whom he had promised to enter the academy together when they were young and their ups and downs.

Rupert thought this was all very well, but surprisingly, when Adrian joined forces with Edric, something even he could not have expected came out.

feels more like a science fiction film than a romantic comedy.

Rupert evaluated it as a masterpiece created by Edric breathing character into Adrian’s uniquely solid story structure.

“Master, I’m watching this work well too. The female character that appeared in this episode, that night cat Naru, is really charming.”

“Is that so? Thank you for your kind words.”

“This character’s costume design is very unique… .”

After finishing bickering with Adrian, Edric came back to Rupert and started to give his opinion about the female characters in the new work, .

‘Why did this happen to him?’

In fact, Rupert had felt a sense of indebtedness towards Edric for some reason ever since he made his promise with Amelia.

Now I wonder who he will marry.

“Do I really need to put this double-headed hat on my bow?”

“This is the point. You really have no aesthetic sense, Krun.”

It would be unbearable for a dwarf, who despite his appearance had a superior artistic sense than any other race, to hear that humans had a lack of aesthetic sense.

however,

‘Why does this guy have such a sense…?’

Starting with the new Golem that made Krun fall in love, and not only the pictures Rupert drew, but also the objects involved in its production all had an outstanding aesthetic sense.

That is why I had no choice but to accept the bizarre proposal of attaching a double-headed stern to the bow of the ship that was currently under construction.

“Ah, on the head of this ship is a statue of a goddess… .”

“You may be cursed if you hang a statue of the goddess.”

“Curse?”

“There is something like that. Like being dragged to another world.”

Ignoring Rupert’s incomprehensible remarks, Kroon took another look at the ship’s construction work and headed straight to his workshop.

“Ah! Ahh! Can you hear me?”

“Yes, I can hear you, Mr. Krun.”

Kroon’s private workshop, built separately next to Somerset’s workshop, was filled with tools and precious materials that he had bought while nagging Rupert.

“The frame work is already finished. I was able to make it thanks to the mithril you gave me.”

“Then, now we need to carve the magic circle.”

“That’s right. And the part that acts as the power source… .”

Krun was having a serious discussion with someone through the communication crystal ball that could only be seen on the top of the tower.

“So, I think you need to use the highest grade magic stone to automatically gather and recover mana.”

“I saw that in the master’s storage room last time. I’ll bring it next time.”

“Thank you, Miss Xenia.”

The person who brought a smile to Krun’s lips while talking to him was none other than Xenia.

-I’m thinking of making a new golem. I need your help, Krun.

One day, Xenia came to Krun and made a very interesting proposal.

Until now, golems were artificial creations used by magicians and were mainly used in battle.

Xenia’s proposal to create a golem that resembles a human and can perform tasks necessary for daily life.

The new golem she had envisioned was closer to a human than a golem.

Creating such a golem’s body would have been impossible without Krun’s delicate skills, and conversely, no matter how plausible Krun made the appearance, he could not breathe life into the golem without magical knowledge.

In a way, it was a miracle that the two most talented people in the creation of the new golem knew each other.

‘But, to make it according to this design, the materials that go into it are….’

At first, Krun was just happy to be able to create something new again.

But when I came to my senses and looked around, it seemed like it would take a lot of money, and a lot of money, to make this new golem.

For a golem made from the human body to operate without problems for a long time, technology was important, but materials were more important than anything else.

Moreover, since the power was mana, it was impossible to use ores that did not have a high mana absorption rate or conductivity.

‘Krun, even so, isn’t it a bit much for the research expenses to be close to the annual budget of another territory?’

He had trusted Somerset, who had recently become economically prosperous, to buy materials and tools to his heart’s content, but Rupert had been terrified before, so he was very cautious.

‘Don’t worry. I’ll somehow get the ingredients!’

However, when Xenia, who had boasted that she would procure materials, actually brought rare materials, Krun was able to begin creating the new golem without worry.

“This is truly a work of art… .”

This was a work that had not been shown to anyone because of Xenia’s request to keep it a secret from Rupert.

A new type of golem skeleton made of mithril that resembles an undead skeleton.

Now, Xenia’s magical formula would be intricately engraved here, and materials that would act as power sources and human blood and flesh would be added accordingly.

Lastly and most importantly, artificial intelligence.

Since this is something that is impossible even with Krun’s skills, Xenia said that she is developing it directly through command control formulas.

‘Why are you trying to make this?’

Even though it was his calling to create new things, he was curious as to why Xenia was putting in so much effort to create this new type of golem, so he asked her.

‘Because this is the only thing I can do for you, Rupert.’

Just thinking about Rupert brought to mind the image of Xenia blushing and answering in embarrassment.

“Tsk… That guy really has a lot of luck with women.”

Even Dwarf Krun could not help but envy Xenia, who was a very attractive woman, for putting in so much effort for Rupert.

However, since Rupert, the person involved, was such a mean person, he thought that Xenia would have a hard time.

『“Go to the store quickly.”

“I am… .”

The leader of the machine doll destruction group Silver, Muyeonin, who already had half of his body crushed between gears.

Gaton was at a loss as to what to do with such a faceless person.

“Now, go ahead and destroy the François doll.”

“… .”

“It’s okay, didn’t you hear the last story of the faceless man?”

Gaton could only stare at the face of the man who had stopped, having walked into the trap himself.

The head of the doll-destroying organization, Mu-myeon-in, who always wore dark black glasses so that his eyes could not be seen.

He looked very sad, but had clear eyes.

“Me too… I get chatty when I don’t wear this.”

The faceless man took out his glasses from his bosom again and put them on, and spoke to Gaton one last time.

“I wonder if fate is a hellish machine… .”

After watching the magnificent ending to the end, Gaton turned around.

Now, it was time to destroy the François doll, the first mechanical doll and the source of all evil.

“I withdraw my support for the puppet show.”

In front of the top of Yuren on the day of the Manapia publication, just like any other day.

Among the Manapia, the attention of those around was drawn to the words spoken by a man who had finished reading the part of serialized by Iolin.

“What? That polarity-based group is withdrawing its support?”

“That guy who always keeps making a fuss about watching a puppet show every time we meet?”

“What did I eat wrong?”

In the case of , it was a work with extremely strong likes and dislikes even among Manapia readers.

Some people were not shy about calling it a masterpiece, while others were reluctant, saying that the first half was too messy and boring.

However, the affection of those who like it is no less than that of the most popular comics, and among the readers of the comic books, the Steel League and the Kokyeondan were the most powerful fan groups.

And when a man who was a member of such a puppet show and who always recommended to others suddenly announced that he was withdrawing his support, everyone who knew him could not help but be surprised.

“From today, I am free from the support relationship and the puppet show and I become one.”

– Any attack on the puppet show will be considered an attack on me!

Everyone around him was speechless at the man’s tragic remark.

“What on earth did that crazy guy see to make him do that?”

But soon, people who were curious about why the man was acting that way began to open up Manapia and read the section on .

and.

“This is crazy!! How could this development and scene be… .”

“If I had read only the beginning and missed it, I would have regretted it so much!”

“This really makes people feel all kinds of emotions?”

Everyone who read the latest episode of couldn’t help but have the same reaction.

It was as if the author had laid down numerous foreshadowings and developments for this moment, and it was the Desert Circus Theater episode where the story of the cartoon exploded.

Moreover, the drawing style that seemed a bit messy at first has now become more organized and conveys strong emotions that overwhelm the viewer.

It was so immersive that I couldn’t help but read it from beginning to end.

“Son, why didn’t you recommend the puppet show earlier?”

This was the moment when the father, who had previously complained when his son recommended the Puppet Show, reacted to it to the point of reconciliation with his son.

“The princess will be very happy this week.”

Jorge, Iolin’s secret bodyguard, came out to check people’s reactions as usual, and was relieved and happy at the same time by the enthusiastic response.

Not only was it a good story for Iolin, but he was now also a reader who enjoyed the stories she created.

Jorge was just happy that people seemed to be recognizing the true value of the ioline.
