Magi Craft Meister

The left most tunnel. It was also the largest tunnel.

Therefore, the tunnel is long and intricate.

Two in the back, two in the back.

Hmm? This is...

I hear something.

There was a faint noise from the back.

A faint sound that can finally be heard with Golem's hearing.

Quite a small noise, or is it far away...

"A" and "B" stood up and proceeded carefully.

[Oh, this is...]

[... Miner Golem]

In the back of the tunnel, dozens of miner Golems were mining.

Light silver is the main source of mining, and it appears that adamantite is rarely mined.

The mined Ore is transported in a Transfer Magic formation.

At first glance, there was nothing strange... but I noticed an "A" abnormality.

That transfer magic team isn't going anywhere on this base?

[What?... Mmm, that's right. Where the hell are you going...]

"... isn't this the home of the enemy who vandalized this place?

It's natural to think so.

But there is no way to ascertain it.

More precisely, there is no way to ascertain without being noticed by the enemy.

[... it's a clue.]

I can't help it. Let's just leave it here for a while.]

"A" and "B" had no way to ascertain without being noticed by the enemy, but not in Penglai.

Are we finally sending in Shinobi's troops?

You thought you could hide behind the shadow of the ore and dive into the home of a mysterious enemy. [M]

They were active in the "Oeste Base" investigation and are now in Pegasus 2, which is waiting near the site.

At your request, they returned to Penglai using the Transfer Gate (Warp Gate) mounted on Pegasus 2.

We have a new mission.

You explained to them. [M]

I used "knowledge transfer (transinfo)" instead of verbal, so it was quick.

"... that's why. Don't push yourself, do an investigation.

Copy that.

The five bodies sent this time are "Shinobi" and below, up to Wu. Five bodies, from land to pick up, are on standby.

Now, be careful.

"I will go."

Using the 'Transponder', the old man sent the 'Shinobi' troops to the 'Oeste 3' underground mine.

This is the Oeste-3 underground.

There's certainly a pile of ore on it.

Shinobi and the others were observing the mining from a short distance.

< Hmm, when a certain amount of Ore is accumulated, it will be transported to the Transformation Magic Team. Once the carrying Golem is out of the Transfer Magic formation, give it the magic of a trigger and activate it to transfer the Ore.... you're repeating this procedure.

After observation, Shinobi concludes.

There is a time lag of about 4 seconds between the loading and transfer of ore. Enough to mix it up.

Roger that.

Such a meeting was held between Shinobi and Nishi.

All right, next time we're going to lose it to the Ore. Keep "Invisible" active. And the Physical Barrier.

Copy that!

After a brief meeting, the timing was gauged, and the five bodies were on a transfer magic team with the ore.

In a blink of an eye, five Shinobi troops were in a large warehouse with the ore.

Leave the area and go to the wall before all the ore is transported.

It is difficult to observe by the wall, but this is an enemy area. First, we decided to observe there with due care.

<... Golem will carry and sort the transferred ore...? It's a normal sight.

But that golem isn't four arms.

Exactly. That means that the Golem here is not at least an "invader" of the Origin.

It's possible that the designers are different.

I see. It's not a good time to decide now.

And the Shinobi troops decided to change their position.

Travel to the wall and observe from the other side of the warehouse.

Still, nothing particularly unusual was confirmed.

All right, let's get out of this warehouse. Our goal is to carry the ore.

Probably a refinery.

That's right. From there, refined metals will be transported to storage and processing plants. Find the mill.

Copy that!

The Shinobi squad, which follows Golem as he carries the ore, proceeds to the wall.

< Hmm, the walls and ceilings in this aisle are "white".... >

The First Generation of the Original?

Perhaps... no, I don't know yet.

It was too early to draw conclusions, and Shinobi warned himself.

Because "white" alone is not "white".

"Hmm, 'white'... What a hard color to judge."

Yes, Master (My Lord)

The actual colors used are slightly gray white, matte black, and silver gray.

Overall, it just looks white and feels like it wasn't intended.

The whiter it is, the lighter it is.

The walls in the motorway tunnel also look brighter in white.

"Either way, it looks like the Origin, or it doesn't look like it."

"... um, I agree with Lord Jin."

"Elder" Tarres also agreed with Jen after seeing images from "Shinobi" in the base of an unidentified enemy.

"I think this style was developed and applied with the technology and culture of the 'Origins'."

"Haha, I see."

Observing and analyzing without preconceptions leads to that conclusion.

The Elder also agreed with Tarres. [M]

"Descendants, apprentices..."

Hmm, I suppose I could say that.

"What is it...?

"There's still too little information to say."

"That's right....."

Jin and the others decided to wait a little longer...

The Shinobi Troops first arrived at the Material Depot.

This is where we get the information.

'Shinobi' said, knowing what materials an unknown person is using.

Therefore, it was decided to investigate using the interval between loading and unloading.

About five minutes in time.

Once we've finished our investigation in less than four minutes, we'll wait by the back wall. All right?

Roger that.

Five bodies were scattered in the warehouse and investigated the materials.

Four minutes later.

How'd it go? All I had was steel ingots.

My place was light silver.

I checked it out. It was light silver.

Mithrill, I've got Silver and Adamantite.

Copper, tin, zinc, lead confirmed.

I see. I'll investigate twice more.

Roger that.

The investigation of the "Shinobi unit" is going well.
