Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

3-04 Volcano ↓ Unmodified since (viewing note/duplicate available)

Bright morning.

Originally, I'd have to go hunting demons instead of having them provide me with a workshop and meals, but I hunted a fair amount on my last hunt, so they don't have to go yet.

The liquor store owner said, 'I don't mind if the hunter comes back,' etc., so Waltz decided to let her do whatever she wanted until she got back.

So after breakfast to the shopkeeper, Waltz flew out of the village with two people, Lucia and Catalina.

The weather today is moderately cloudy and sunny.

Is it quite a flight (drive) day or something?

Well, now, the waltzes are over the village, and that's on the clouds, too.

But we're not moving anywhere.

It was circling over the village.

What they were doing was looking for volcanoes within sight of the village.

By the way, Lucia and Catalina didn't participate in the volcano hunt and enjoyed the air walk, but there would be no choice.

In the first place, it doesn't follow Waltz's vision (fluctuating due to atmospheric conditions to the extent that people can see if they're standing 100 km away today).

Though looking for the volcano while swirling for a while, it seemed unlikely to be within sight.

It can also be expected from the stone township of South Fortress, which is nearby, but this is a place with few earthquakes in the first place.

It was also clear from that that there were no volcanoes nearby as sources of earthquake.

"Okay, guys. Looks like there's no volcano nearby, so I'm gonna have to go away today."

"Going away?"

and Lucia tilting her neck.

"Yes, I have to get very far. So..."

So, stop swirling and stop waltz in the air.

Then, turn off the hologram and visualize the manoeuvre armor, causing Lucia and the others who were grabbing it with their arms to sit in the rapidly constructed seats using the deformed actuators on their backs.

"Fasten your seat belt, huh?

And so on, instead of a belt, it's like a tentacle of a machine, which secures the two of them in their seats.

Then, the entire manoeuvre armor, which was man-made, began to deform.

Mobile armor that deforms while turning up a low running sound.

The legs and arms were many gaps considering the ease of movement, but it was stored shortly and compactly, resulting in smaller joints.

Likewise, the part of the head is stored to be buried in the neck, which changes to a structure that takes into account air resistance.

The immediate side of Lucia and the others' seats opened (from which they might look just planks) and the moving wings unfolded, and finally the legs cracked and the engine peeled out.

"Probably won't be painful, but let me know if anything happens"

and waltz to advise.

But you both seem to be deaf to Waltz's great transformation.

And when Waltz's words ended or not, he began to hear a tall noise from the foot area behind his seat.

It is the starting sound of the jet engine.

"Then we're going, right?

And it accelerated as rapidly as it did when the plane took off.

Clouds, forests, meadows, houses, towns passing under the eyes with tremendous momentum...

In the modern world, it is a view that can be seen through the windows of planes.

The difference from a regular plane would be the seats with a lot of views and their speed of travel.

The current speed is 1800 km/h (approximately Mach 1.5).

We push the clouds in front of us with overwhelming wind pressure, leaving everything on the ground behind and pushing on with force until violent.

The flying demons that approached inadvertently, and even the dragons that are supposed to be the most powerful creatures, cannot be fattened by those who travel at sound speeds and fall into sonic waves in a flash.

Lucia and Catalina watched such a sight from above a seat almost windless with gravity control.

Even when Waltz brought them back to the village two days ago, they were flying in the sky (Lucia was asleep), but both Catalina and Lucia, who had flown with Waltz many times, lost their words to a different view than the sight of that time.

On this day, people who saw objects flying up a blast they had never even heard would make a scene by saying it was "the use of the devil" or "the end of the world" or "the enemy countries attacked" but this story never got into the ears of a waltz that was drawn to the workshop.

That's right, Waltz suddenly changes direction after about 30 minutes of continuing to fly.

Apparently, we've found a destination.

By the way, if I kept flying at supersonic speed for 30 minutes, I would have flown a hell of a distance, but I was actually only drawing a large circle around the village, only about 150 km from the village in a straight line distance.

The point is, we were looking for the nearest volcano to the village.

As a result, a volcano could be found at a location less northwest of 200 km from the village.

Waltz flies less than another 10 minutes and stops in the air near the volcano.

Now it deformed using the opposite procedure and returned to the human form.

Then put the two of them sitting on their backs back in their arms and revive the hologram.

"Good day. You've reached your destination, haven't you?

"... hey, you're really unreasonable"

"Yeah, I agree. After all, isn't it a god?

More importantly, they've grown misunderstandings.

Well, I'm going to predict it, and I was heartily convinced that it was Waltz who vowed to realize the reorganization plan early.

The volcano that arrived, although not so high at an altitude of about 1500 m, had a beautiful triangular shape, like Mount Fuji.

Forests are lush around the foothills, but when the altitude rises slightly from them, not a single tree grows because of volcanic activity.

On the other hand, further outside that forest, several rivers and marshes could be ascertained.

The volcanic landscaping has stifled the flow of the river, possibly creating wetlands.

Waltz, who came to such a volcano, landed on a flat spot where he had climbed the volcano a little from the forest at the foot of the mountain.

After bringing the two down to the ground, Waltz quickly begins exploring the geology.

Then, unexpectedly quickly, a formation containing more chromium was found right from the foot (rather than the entire volcano).

"Lucia? I want you to dig your foot about 3m, okay?

"Yeah."

Lucia uses earth magic to drill the ground in a range of about 3 x 3 x 3 m.

"... Lucia is amazing as well as Mr. Waltz..."

and a mouthful of Catalina.

"Yeah!"

Lucia nodded happily, happy to be compared to Waltz.

And the three peek into the hole Lucia drilled.

Then I could see a black rock dotted more than what was on the ground.

Apparently, it contains a lot of chromium.

Waltz that uses gravity control to remove ore from the hole and take it into your hand.

"This, right. Definitely. I came here because I wanted this."

and show the two of them the ore.

"Um, do you like collecting unusual stones, sister?

Waltz is dismayed by the words, no, I'm not.

"With this, the iron we made yesterday will stop rusting."

Hmm, Lucia observes the ore in Waltz's hands while saying.

"Is it alchemy?

"Yeah, you know what?"

"... rust-free iron, I've never heard of it before"

Apparently, in this world, iron is rusty.

I guess areas such as materials science dealing with alloys have not yet developed.

Well, I have an enchant, so it doesn't seem strange to have something like rust prevention, etc.

"I'm going to refine this ore. However, if I make it in a regular way, I have to prepare chemicals, electricity and all sorts of things, so today I'm going to use force moves to process it. So Lucia uses fire magic to heat up this stone for me?

That is, waltz floating in the air with stones collected in the air.

And Lucia, as she was told, hung fire magic against the floating stone.

"Today, don't you have to powder the stones?

Until yesterday, the iron ore was powdered and then processed, but today it is heated as ore, so Lucia can't help wondering.

"Yeah, I'm not mixing anything up, it's no problem."

and waltz to answer.

But instead,

"Catalina? Can you put the junction on everyone?

Ask Catalina to do something that has never been refined before.

"Yes. I don't mind... is it dangerous?

"Probably. And I'd like to ask, do you have any magic to use when you're dazzled?

"Yeah, is it Blind?"

"Well, hang that on Lucia and Catalina"

"Oh, I see."

Then the perimeter of the two eyes turned black.

"Lucia, can we heat up the guns?

waltz to order to heat up even more, although it was already a rock that was starting to get red heat.

The rock then begins to melt, adding even more luminosity and brightening to levels that cannot be seen directly.

"Not yet..."

Waltz to encourage more heating.

After a while of heating, I even got dazzled with the blinds on.

Apparently Waltz is doing something, but he's too dazzled to see what happened to the molten rock.

"If it seems too dazzling, I wouldn't mind meditating on your eyes. Instead, if you keep looking at it too much, it'll make your eyes worse."

Sure, you're right, but two people who try to narrow their eyes and manage to see Waltz act.

After a while,

You can stop the magic.

and the heating is finally over.

I have a feeling that something extraordinary is probably being done in front of me that I should be connecting, but I can feel the heat of burning my skin diligently (sure?) Catalina with.

What was going on at this time?

The point is the plasma of the ore.

Since the chromium contained in the ore collected is a compound with iron or other impurities, it cannot be isolated in such a way that it is reduced, melted, and then separated by gravitational control, as was the case the other day.

So Waltz thought that the more plasma you heat, the more ionizing the substance, the more separation you make, and finally, using the strong electric field and high gravity, the more pure matter you can refine.

In the first place, when you actually try to do it, there's no furnace that can withstand high temperatures enough for the metal to plasma, so it's just a force move.

(I hope you don't imitate the good boy.)

Despite the dazzling, it was a waltz that I would agree with Lucia staring into eating.

"So, are you two ready?

"What? Is it dangerous?

"Maybe I'll be fine, just in case. But I think it's gonna get really hot."

That said, keep the "something hot" that was heating away to a position of about 200 m.

"Then we're going, right?

And when Waltz said it, it happened.

The heat trapped inside the glowing object ravaged the area.

The grass and small trees that were growing near the light source burn out in an instant, and even where they were a little far away, the plants burn.

To boulders, Catalina faces an explosion of heat that is not a problem around the waltzes but still feels beyond the junction.

Lucia doesn't seem to feel so hot because she has a fire-resistant bracelet, but she was blinded by the phenomenon happening in front of her.

After a while, striped bars with a drop in light were floating in the universe to the extent that they were visible to the eye.

So ask Catalina to unblind and Lucia to exercise the cooling magic waltz.

Ultimately, a metal rod emerged with beautiful stripes.

"This part is iron. This part is chromium."

Within the stripes, the first and second widest portions will be pointed and explained.

"And this part is aluminum, silicon, nickel, and this part... something"

It was a waltz describing the stripes in order from the top, but I noticed that apparently there was an unknown substance lighter than the orihalcon.

(This is, uh, Mithril)

and waltz to anticipate.

Whether that prediction is being met... is still a story ahead of us.

Besides,

"A mi-no-um? Coming to?

Silicon seems to have missed hearing. Lucia raised her doubts.

"Well, maybe none of that metal I've ever seen in this world."

It is difficult to refine in aerobic when it comes to aluminium and silicon, and it may be a metal that you do not see in this world where the technology of the melting furnace is still shallow.

It seems possible if it's about nickel, but I guess it's not out there alone.

"Maybe Mr. Waltz can create gold out of the low metal?

Catalina has to think that way about waltz refining metals she doesn't know, using techniques she has never seen or heard of.

"If you tell me to do it, I can't. But I think it's better to mine normally, you know?

The point is, if you use an accelerator to fuse nuclear, you can't make it, but it's the same thing in any world that costs more.

"I knew you could do it"

And, impressive Catalina.

(In that sense, modern science could be described as a form of alchemy development after all)

Waltz thought so.

"Well, let's make a ton of this"

Thus, the waltzes began to refine large quantities of chromium.

By the end of the day, Catalina thought.

"(What's going on with this kid who uses a hell of a lot of magic all day but doesn't suffer from a lack of magic...)"

Waltz is an unreasonable mass that is not human, but Lucia is a monster in the shape of a person, I thought.

And I'm glad I'm not really hostile to these people, he said.

And most importantly,

"(Ladies and gentlemen, I am sad)"

and think of my fellow tasters, Blessed (?) was to pray...
