Me and the chairman were looking at Lane, who was explaining the situation.
"When I met the Duchess of Vallua, she had already receive 1 million francs each from the church and Duke Marche. I thought I have to give her 3 million francs from master's money...!"
"So, you did it on your own."
As the chairman looked into his eyes, Lane pointed at him.
"But he didn't answer my call. Master, it's not my fault...! It's all because of that stupid old man!"
I shook my head when I saw how Lane is acting.
I bought the ball jointed doll Lane five years ago, he was produced with a huge cost.
Ball jointed dolls are a very special tool that only a few people could have in this world.
The production itself used an enormous amount of magic and it could be used as a weapon of war.
For this reason, the chairman had to use two years to find someone who was willing to produce the dolls.
"Your master is very lucky. I put a very special object on the doll this time. A special object that is different from the dolls I've made so far."
The producer who said so demanded more than three times the market price.
'When I first heard the chairman, I was going to refuse.'
Being a buyer of a new product was not necessarily a good thing. There was a risk.
Nevertheless, the reason why I bought it was because of the new doll's function he offered.
Usually, while controlling a ball jointed doll, the puppeteer must concentrate and give a big amount of mana, but the new doll can move on its own.
'...he could really act on his own.'
Me and the chairman were surprised to hear about it.
The producer received a lot of money and completed it, but when he finished it, it must have been a defective product.
Lane could only move if I gave him my divine power. But I couldn't keep doing it.
'A ball jointed doll could be destroyed by destroying its core. So it will recover itself even if it breaks down without it's core broken.'
I know what special item that the doll owner put in him.
'This thing will be used by the enemy as a final weapon in a war...'
The thing was very hard to destroy until Adrian destroyed its core.
These creatures were made out of evil spirits...
I thought that I needed to educate the doll, but it seemed that I didn't need to because it is very smart.
I grinned inwardly.
If he got caught, it would be really messy, but Lane is still useful in either way.
"I missed you, my master."
There was only one weakness he had. He's incredibly foolish in front of me.
I was used to his attitude already.
"I need to check the situation first."
"Yes."
The chairman replied to me as he grabbed Lane's shoulders.
"Take off your hands off old man!"
"I'll destroy your core someday"
"Huh? I'll kill you before that!"
