Kevin Sandrich de Patricia Traviskin, in the circles of Manufacturing Science and Rune Studies, was not considered the absolute best.
Nevertheless, he was indeed a Manufacturing Master, his status equal to that of a Transcendent. Today, the top scholars from various domains who had gathered in the side hall immediately recognized Kevin.
Amazement was in their eyes.
Several months ago, Kevin had disappeared from his studio, and it was only days later that a few apprentices he had hired discovered him.
After a cursory investigation by the Law Enforcement Team, it was found that this was a case of "locked-room disappearance." Kevin, when working, would close his doors tightly to avoid disturbances, and was protected by corresponding anti-interference arrays—none of which had been tampered with. In the end, the case fizzled out.
—Being of commoner origin, Kevin was not deemed worthy by the Law Enforcement Team to commit significant manpower to solving the case.
