＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

Integra handled silver politely.

He touches it with his hands, or keeps things like lenses and terminals close together to make sure of something.

"You don't disassemble."

"To some extent, you don't have to open it with clairvoyance or scrutiny magic to see it. I told you that. My technology does not extend to the first generation. I don't care if I can't break it back down to the breadth."

"I see..."

When I was a kid, I lost my curiosity and tried disassembling the toy clock with the driver and it brings back memories that I couldn't go back.

My brother fixed it right then.

But listening to Integra reminds me that the silver of the biological form is also a precision machine inside.

Speaking of which, those whales and helical crabs were also a biological form.

Was there a lot of civilized machinery like that in the other period?

And I remembered one question here.

"Hey, can I ask you a few questions?

"Go ahead."

"Silvers...... how are brilliant beasts, including brilliant jade horses, different from other machines?

According to information obtained from the wreckage, whales and helical crabs, which were also biotypes, were not brilliant ball beasts, and it was doubtful where the distinction between the two lies.

"How different, huh? It's quick to say that the series is different, but apart from that, there was a certain amount of definition in civilization earlier in the period."

"Mandatory?"

"To make a big deal out of it, there are two conditions that apply to a brilliant beast." Equipped with artificial intelligence and able to act autonomously ". And it's called" Assuming Human Boarding. "Yeah, it's a big premise. It's magically driven."

Autonomous behavior through artificial intelligence and human boarding.

I also think that seems contradictory somewhere...... Silver does apply to that.

"So machines like Magingear today without artificial intelligence are not brilliant beasts, and mechanical golems with artificial intelligence without room for humans don't apply."

"That kind of classification?"

I guess this is the whale and the helmet crab that was the drone.

"And some of the things made by the first generation are the brilliant Jade Man. Stand-alone mechanical doll with artificial intelligence. They do not presuppose human boarding, so even with brilliant balls they are not brilliant balls beasts (...). Maybe that's why I named him" The Brilliant Jade Man. "

"I see..."

"Paradoxically, the mass-produced brilliant Jade Man, the Brilliant Jade Soldier, that you and Ultimia fought in Calcellatan, is a brilliant Jade Beast because it presupposes the installation of a human..."

... It's starting to look like some sort of confusing classification of organisms.

Hawhales Small Iccaceae Sirodolphins Genus Sirodolphins...... like

"So if you continue to build an AI-mounted and human-boarded fuselage, does that mean it will be certified as a Brilliant Ball Beast?

"They will, but it's hard. Anyway, artificial intelligence-related technology is missing. Sometimes Legendary and Yellow River seal spirits and spirits in objects to make them artificial intelligence, but that's not what brilliant beasts need, because they're artificial intelligence based on pure science and technology."

The division seemed like a big mess, but its fruit regulation seems fine.

"The first generation was genius about it, but none of us can succeed. I don't understand if I can pass on the basics."

"Is that what it is..."

"It seems that in the great old drife, there was also a temporary period of research to capture ancient mechanical golems, take out artificial intelligence, and put it on the current Magingear. I hear you're frustrated that you can't readjust your programming."

It wasn't until Franklin's Triangle of Wisdom made [Marshall II] that a human robot was created in Drife.

Until then, there was only a tank type or a power suit type, so I guess I couldn't divert the artificial intelligence of the Golem, which would be a man-made type, as it were. Besides, it shouldn't have even been programmed like a human boarding.

"Then the [second model] factory of Calcellatan..."

"In a way, it's groundbreaking. After a moment, the age of the Brilliant Ball Beast may rebuild from here. Looks like the number of people in [Brilliant Cavalry] is increasing."

In today's kingdom, more Tians get jobs for [brilliant cavalry] in line with the popularity of [second model].

It can exhibit some velocity, walk through the air and deploy barriers as well. It is a machine, but therefore there is no difference in physical condition, and there is no hassle in taking care of it.

As a rider, they are easier to handle and more popular than existing riders.

Well, it seems that the cavalry system beyond a certain power is rarely switched because there are already riders who love to use it.

"Oh, yeah. I have the original brilliant jade horse, and I have something to tell you."

"I was sorting out the information I left behind from the first generation and found... the conditions for the liberation of the senior cavalry system."

"Oh, that bothers me"

But no one should have taken up the job yet. It is not in the catalogue, nor is it hung on the < DIN > information network.

Permissions in Silver's message. Anyway, if you become a senior, you might be lifted.

"There are three conditions for the liberation of [Brilliant Jade Cavalry (Prism Cavalry)], a senior position in the Brilliant Cavalry System. First, you must have at least one skill level of Brilliant Ball Authority, which is the skill of [Brilliant Cavalry]. Next, the total level has reached 400. And finally..."

"Finally...?

"The fact that the total skill level of" Brilliant Ball Authority "across the world (...) exceeds 5000"

............... what?

"That's..."

"In short, it doesn't come out unless Brilliant Jade Beast and [Brilliant Cavalry] are prevalent around the world, this job. Strict level conditions, and rare senior positions."

... I see. That's why nobody's in the office.

Canst the [Brilliant Cavalry], but the skill level of the Brilliant Ball Authority is over.

"Do we have to get 5000 people in simple calculations..."

"Well, it's spreading over time, and at this pace, I guess it'll arrive within less than that"

Harsh if only, but in Tian other than the King's Capital... deployment is also under way for each Knights of the aristocracy.

Indeed, it does not seem impossible to achieve.

Then do you want to be ready by then by the end of your junior level?

Because the status quo doesn't have a particular option for senior positions, and it seems like it would be a good idea to be that [brilliant ball rider] if you have silver.

Silver can't use his power either if he stays like this.... be careful not to rot the treasure.

But...... I've listened so far and learned one question.

"The Brilliant Ball Beast was made by the first Flagman, wasn't it?

"Right."

"But did you have a [brilliant cavalry] job before that?

Brilliant cavalry lineage, where the job itself assumes the spread of brilliant jade beasts.

If the brilliant jade horse does not exist, the job itself becomes an almost pointless substitute.

So did the Huang Cavalry Lineage Job have a new increase with the birth of the Huang Jade Beast?

"The job itself was there before the first generation made it," he said.

"That's a strange story, too. I can't believe there's a job for something that doesn't exist..."

Causality is disturbing.

"Yeah. But this isn't just about the brilliant cavalry system, it's about Job in general."

"This is my master... More stories my master looked into"

When Integra said that, the blackboard with the caster that was in the room moved near us with Karakara. White ink (chalk) then moved out on his own and began painting on the blackboard.

By the way, I guess you're doing them magically. Integra still has her gaze and hands pointed at silver.

... You sound like a psychic, not some wizard.

"There is an unusual job in heaven and earth called [Cornerman (Smow Wrestler)]. It's part of a competition called sumo wrestling."

Oh, it's in the < Infinite Dendrogram > job, too.

But you're only a competition, not a god.

... Aside from that, is it for explanations that the blackboard already depicts a deformed recommendation?

"But the culture of sumo wrestling has spread over the last 1000 years or so. [Cornerman] was around the time of civilization a while ago."

"... yeah?

Have you had a job related to that competition before it spread?

Similar to [Brilliant Cavalry], the relationship between eggs and chickens is strange.

"From what I've heard, the other side of the world has the same job as [Cornerman]."

"Oh, yeah. I mean, a job, it's a profession. It's not like I got a job, and I don't have the level or skills."

"I hear that's what it is. But you have the competition first, you have the job, right?

"Oh......"

That's the opposite of real life here.

"There are other similar stories. In the first place, there must have been a [mechanic] before people started using mechanical technology."

... right. In the first place, isn't it limited to the brilliant cavalry system?

"Many of the names match the other side of your journey. Even a magic job like my [Great Sage], isn't it?

"Whatever is not real, don't exist as a concept"

"That could be a coincidence. Or someone who created this world, when he embedded the mechanism of Job in this world, like the other side of your journey… maybe he defined Job by referring to 'Occupations that exist in some other world'"

…………

Game-wise, I just set up and programmed the job for reference.

However… if < Infinite Dendrogram >, it is possible that this is not the case.

"Then [Brilliant Cavalry] and Brilliant Jade Beast..."

They emit discolorations because they don't exist in real life.

Other jobs...... because unlike professions and concepts that exist in real life, they are the only ones here.

But maybe...

"Somewhere not on the other side of the move (...), there was a profession called [Brilliant Cavalry], and the Brilliant Ball Beast was probably also commonly treated."

Somewhere not real or < Infinite Dendrogram >.

That could be another game, or...

"But then you mean the first Flagman coincidentally made things that fit into the specifications of the Brilliant Ball Beast"

Machines powered by magic, with artificial intelligence and assuming the use of people.

It can certainly be made by chance.

And it was because I made it that [Brilliant Cavalry] looked into the eyes of the day.

"Rather, reflecting from [the Brilliant Cavalry] and senior [the Brilliant Jade Cavalry], the things you made became known as the Brilliant Jade Beast?

"If you think about it normally, you will."

"Right. Otherwise, the first Flagman will know from the beginning about the Brilliant Ball Beast and [Brilliant Cavalry], where they are (...) and made them (...)"

It is unlikely that those who exist in this world know of concepts that do not exist in this world.

So I guess it's still a coincidence.

I said something stupid.

……………………

But for some reason - Integra was staring at me.

That's more than stunned by the barbaric things I've said...

"Integra?"

"... No, I was impressed with the imagination of the Master. When I first heard from my master, I couldn't think of it that way."

"Right. Well, it's not a boulder idea."

"Ha, I guess so. Yeah, I just finished checking the silver."

That's what Integra said, taking her hand off Silver.

"That's fast! I've been talking to you..."

"This still carries on the name of Flagman. I can do enough to get the work going while we talk. Well, I need to talk to you about a few things."

Integra sits in a chair, to moisten her throat or sip of tea before she starts talking.

"First of all, the basics weren't much different from other brilliant horse designs.... but there is an unknown mechanism in the torso, and the wiring connected from it goes through the entire body. Perhaps this is the originality of [Silver Wind]."

"What originality?

When I asked, Integra sighed deeply.

It didn't feel like it was for my question, but for its' originality '.

"Excuse me.... well, if I told you, the first Flagman was a genius, but there was one problem"

"Problem?"

"It's about not making two of the same things"

"Huh? But the [second model] or the brilliant Jade Soldier of Calcheratan..."

"You had a few words. To be precise, a single item made by hand is. Except for the mass production type of industrial production."

"Oh, you mean that. But if you're an artist or something, isn't that normal?

"... the first generation is not an artist, only a scientist. If it's good, it's natural to duplicate it. Once made, it can be mass-produced.... but the first generation wasn't"

That said Integra sighed again.

"The thing I make by tilting the whole spirit is always another thing. So I didn't make more than one masterpiece, and I didn't care if I could waste it as a result"

"Masterpieces and waste..."

"The masterpiece is the unity of the brilliant Jade Man. The name is [Agate Designer], but in essence, it's a DEX polar android. He had enough production skills for those production super jobs to escape barefoot. Rather, it surpasses even the first generation of flagmen when it comes to machining techniques. In fact, he was engaged in various developments as a first generation assistant."

"That's amazing..."

"Oh, that would be amazing. But the first generation didn't even replicate that. Even though we obviously know that the speed of development will improve, we only made the whole thing. On the other hand, I didn't even let you wear the concept. That all suffers from understanding. I want you to replicate that before you create an END or AGI specialization. Or if it stays, it'll be more handy from the second generation to me..."

"How are you?"

Integra seemed kind of heated up because she couldn't get to her stomach about it much longer.

Silver is also a little freaked out.

Nemesis eats sweets without worrying.... I mean, Nemesis hasn't gotten involved at all since just now.

"... I'm sorry. There are many things that I inherited as a flagman, but I wanted [Onao] to be the head of something that I didn't leave behind."

Indeed, with such a brilliant jade, the situation in the kingdom could have been better.

"So I'm going back to the point, because of the emphasis on not wearing the concept, I'm going to make even what I think is' futile 'beforehand"

"What's that?

"A brilliant jade horse called Obsidian Earth Edge."

... That's Mr. Figaro's horse.

"Even though the concept of a brilliant jade horse was' Battle Zone Expansion for Combat Super Positions' in the first place, it doesn't make sense because you can't fly and you can't run at sea. Besides limiting the battlefield to the ground, AGI based combat superpositions are when it's faster to run on their own. It's a useless long thing."

... That's what Mr. Figaro said, too. 'Because I run faster on my own, I only use it in racing competitions'.

"Besides, horsepower and heavy armor, which are advantages over other models, are also like fighting between super positions... not shooting at each other in depth. It's a waste that I could do as a result of a head-on conflict with the concept of the series, so clearly I can't save it"

Dismantling tea is badly acclaimed...

"If you insist, it might be useful as a horse riding for a durable super position. Although it is likely to be damaged, as was the case with Gold some time ago"

"That's a scary story, too. So, what was the originality of silver?

Perhaps that's what involves third skills as well.

"It's..."

"Is that...?

I drank my spit and waited for Integra's words,

- I didn't know.

- I flipped every chair like an old comic book.

"Oh well...... Didn't you see..."

"To be exact, I didn't know everything. Sometimes I get it. In the meantime, the mechanism of this child is not like 'Wind Attribute Magic'"

I was surprised by that word, this time in a different vector.

"That it's not a wind attribute? But I've used Windhoe many times, and his name is [Silver Wind] in the first place, right?

"Thank you. The [wind] name is due to the sentiment of the first Flagman at that time. The essence of being a fuselage seems different."

"The essence as a fuselage…"

What I recall is the sky of Calcellatan.

We were right under the whale on silver at that moment when we thought it was imperative to clash from the descent in that fight against the whale.

Or was that something to do with the third skill and... the essence of silver?

"And sometimes when it's a wind attribute, it doesn't fall to your heart."

"What do you mean?

"Earlier reconciliation conference. His Majesty has now fought [Emerald Great Storm], a brilliant jade horse of the wind attribute, but he lost significantly at speed and slightly exceeded it with swirling performance, to an extent."

"Oh. I've heard from Azrite, too."

"But, you know, I don't think purely the same type would inferior the later [Silver Wind]. In the first place, it's hard to imagine that the first generation that hates making the same things will use the same attributes."

Oh, indeed. Does that happen from what I just told you?

"Was it Windshoe's" Compressing the Air into Scaffolds and Barriers "in the first place? Physically, they should be condensed and plasma up to the calories they held during the compression process. At a time when it doesn't, it doesn't seem like a simple gas manipulation."

"I see..."

If you ask me...

I realize that there are many mysteries, including not only the third skills I couldn't use, but also the ones I've casually used so far.

"So the current situation is that 'the action of originality is consequently similar to the wind attribute'. And the most likely candidate for originality is minutes..."

Say something, but she shuts her mouth.

"Integra?"

"... no, I'll stop stating uncertain reasoning. As a successor to Flagman's name, I don't want to give you any false information about the last brilliant jade horse of the first Flagman."

"Right."

I thought you wanted to hear it, but let's not.

She looks proud of her inherited name. If that's what she says, now would be a bad time to ask.

"And, well, now you've done my business. You bothered to put a lot of work into it today."

"This way, today's story is for you. Especially [Brilliant Jade Ride] made me want to go for it"

"Oh, make sure you do. The first generation that left behind [Silver Wind] and [Second Model] will be looking forward to it."

That's the end of the story, and when I treat Silver,

"Hmm? Are we done talking?

... Nemesis, who had been quietly eating confectionery until now, finally stopped eating and looked at me.

"Nemesis......"

"No, this sweet is terribly delicious. It was a Kumanisan popcorn or better."

"Seriously!?

That's more than that!?

"I taste it too,... hey, nemesis"

"............ Ugh, um. It's all flattened out."

Apparently, he didn't stop eating because he sensed the end of the story, he just stopped because he was finished eating.

I thought my appetite was a little overwhelming these days, but this is it.

This guy's gonna eat me on the side when I'm focused on talking.

"... I tried to automate the meals, but did you eat them all?

Integra had a surprising, frightening, subtle face.

"... bad, Integra"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Well, if it's true, I almost wanted him to have it for a souvenir, but he seems to have cut it to that point."

Nemesis......

"Hmm. It was delicious. Who made that?

"Uh. I'm in Cardina now. It's made by someone I know. So I guess I won't be able to buy it for a while."

"Mmm, too bad."

"Ha, I'll give it to you when it arrives again. Now let's get into your mouth."

"Oh. I'm looking forward to it."

That's how I ended my conversation with Integra.

When I first met him, I was concerned about the gaze at me... but that might have alerted me to approaching the two childhood tamers while I was gone.

That's probably what the sexual harassment story about today was all about when you think about it.

She's her, and she cares about her friends.

Then I guess that's fine.

"Oh, yeah. Mr. Ray Sterling."

Integra called out on my back trying to leave the room.

"I just want to ask you one last thing."

"Oh, what?

"Why would you do anything for the kingdom?

... You've been asked something similar before.

But the answer hasn't changed.

"Azrites, Liliana, other people I know in the kingdom... because I like this country. If that goes away, I'm just trying 'cause it doesn't taste good."

"Right.... Yeah, I see. Right. Right. You're... you're like that."

"No, that's okay. Now we're done. Thank you for today."

"Oh. That's Silver's investigation. You're annoying."

"Tea treats, a treat."

That's how we exchanged words and we left the Integra room.

Well, is it time to head to Gideon?

From now on, you'll be able to wear it before sundown.

◇ ◆ ◇

□ ■ [Great Sage] Integra Sedona Clarice Fragman

One and one of us leaves the room, the door closes, make sure the indoor spy equipment is rebooted... I confirm the magical behavior I was planting in this room.

What I was planting in this room is, in short, the magic of lying discovery.

Something even more advanced than the True or False Determination and more detailed from the opponent's body temperature, heart rate, and EEG.

That's what I can detect if I'm not lying, but I'm also telling the truth, or if I have dark thoughts behind my belly.

Besides, I was distracted by the magic I planted in the furniture, so I can't even be noticed.

This room itself, the interrogation room.

And today, the real thing was to hang on to Ray Sterling in this room.

Someone who appeared too suddenly, and who then gained connections with Ultimia and Liliana, and with humans close to the heart of kingdoms like Count Gideon. Among the few, the influence on the kingdom is significant.

His battle power does not reach the Quasi-Infinite class…

But, Mr. Even defeating Franklin and Logan Godhardt.

Furthermore, it was left behind by the first Flagman, and even the only [Silver Wind] that is unknown to us Flagman.

The information obtained from the outside looks too strange to us.

It was the purpose of this time to see firsthand what person and for what purpose he would move.

Or even the possibility of hand pawns directly connected to “incarnation” was in view.

But the result is...

"... In the end, the only thing that had a reaction was the 'I've never seen naked' point? That's funny the other way around."

There was no back or surface, which means he was mouthing almost exactly what he thought.

Um, even a word that would be suspicious if I said it in the true face of 'I like this country, so I'll work hard'.

Those who move not to lose, not to greed or consideration.

He's a terribly convenient man for the kingdom.

... Well, there are too many inconvenient people, including us, so I guess it's okay to have someone as convenient as that.

Either way, he didn't fake anything, and vice versa... he didn't have any doubts about me.

"I have spoken without warning of the tea I have prepared, and I have no hesitation in disclosing information on [Silver Wind], which would be one of the trump cards"

I know why you trusted me so much.

Because I am a childhood tame and friend of Ultimia and Liliana.

That you trust those two, to the point that you are so alert to me as well, who are two friends.

I guess there are no lies there.

I made sure it wasn't sex, lowlife, or political ambition either.

Besides, it seems Liliana didn't even realize she was a princess when she was Ultimia anyway.

Which means that having helped the two of us so far was also a very natural move for him, without any intention...

"... that way of life would be hard"

The flesh is resurrected.

Perhaps the pain can also be eliminated.

That's not why it won't break your heart.

If you really like people in this country and want to protect them... they should be scratched.

Or have you already borne it somewhere?

Has that changed... or hasn't it changed after that?

Or... will it not change in the future?

What I do, or what [evil gods] cause, and the “incarnation” prospect, may come up against all events solely because of the 'bad aftertaste'.

While it hurts...... maybe you keep trying to cover up the tragedy in front of you.

…………

Though that's not like us... it was Tsu's path as well.

But as for his true intentions and presence... I have been convinced of one more thing.

"After all, < master > is not a single rock, and he is fully free to do so"

As an individual, you should see that all < masters > continue to keep, with the exception of “incarnate” disguises such as [cat gods].

I don't know how Embrio works... but is he a person parasitized (...) by Embrio himself?

And if it is such a relationship, it is possible that the information obtained in their own ears and eyes is gathered in the "incarnation”.

Still no problem.

This time, I'm not lying about what I explained to him.

I have not divulged that I have inherited even knowledge that is inconvenient to the "incarnation”.

On top of that, to the extent that they had no problem asking, they revealed their own standing.

And if “incarnation” comes to erase this one at this stage, I will die. But if the crystal is safe, we can make it correct the next generation.

... As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to put Keri on my bill.

"If we look back at the battle between [Ra's God] and [Ra's God] Cashmere at the harmonious meeting, we can be sure that the dominion of our own < Embrio > will be all in hand. That's basically out of control for“ incarnation ”as well. … it is also useful to draw the Master, who is close to incarnate, to this side. At the end of the day, even if I cut it off, I wonder if it would help as a force of war."

Second, I remember talking about him earlier... I shook my head.

"Ray Sterling... I don't think so."

That's the owner of a trusted personality.

But I can be sure I will never stand by my side because of that personality.

All we need is - someone who wants to destroy the world and kill the Incarnate.

I need a master with so much motivation and power.

In the name of gathering information about the kingdom while I was away, I also let you gather information about < Master >.

The paper bundle in the lab is a list of people enrolled in the kingdom.

It is possible that there are people in this…… who want it.

"... one already has a star on his eyes"

I take out one sticky note in a bundle of paper.

There is a photograph of a man full of the fighting spirit of the day of his presence, and his abilities and achievements are written therein.

A man who was once the ranker of a duel and the owner of a giant clan.

And those who have lost everything.

Such a person would... be able to do the same as me.

The people I need are different from the kingdom and the Ultimias.

Not Ray Sterling moving to not lose (...).

I need someone who moves because I lost it (...)

"- Broken Sword (...), or"

To be continued
