Magi Craft Meister

80-24 Explore Basement Facilities

On the morning of the 29th, after eating at the Imperial Castle, at 8: 30 a.m., four people, namely, Reiko, Arnold, and Cher, were summoned to a small conference room.

"Thank you for your hard work."

There was Prime Minister Dyne, and he greeted Jin.

"First, I'll give you the [honorary citizen] 's ID card I promised you yesterday."

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Arnold and Cher will now be treated as nationals of the Cellulore Kingdom.

Next, I'd like to ask Lord Jin, Lord Arnold, and Lord Cher for an honorarium for requesting an old base survey.

The Prime Minister presented two kilograms of mythrill silver (equivalent to a market price of 9 million yen) and one kilogram of Adamantite (equivalent to a market price of 8 million yen) to Ren.

Arnold and Cher were offered two million torr in cash.

I have no objection to Ren.

And it was the same for Arnold.

However,

“What happens to the ownership of what I discover?”

It was Arnold who confirmed.

"I see, do you know what will be discovered...?"

Instead, the question was returned to the Prime Minister.

"If it was in the base, I can imagine it."I can't guarantee it will still be there. ”

"I guess so." So, what does it look like? "

"...... Battle golems, general-purpose golems, magic brains, a few materials, magic tools, and... some kind of vehicle."

"I see. By the way, what do you want from Lord Arnold if you find him?"

"It's a magic tool and a vehicle."That said, we don't know what's left, so we'll talk about it when we find it. ”

"I see... what kind of vehicle was there at the time?"

To answer this question, Arnold thought for a moment and began to explain.

“A golem towed car, something called a hot air balloon, or a golem-powered ship.”

Oh, I see.

Jen was a little curious about the car towed by the golem.

I thought I'd ask later whether it was a rickshaw or a golem driving a horse-drawn carriage.



On this day, King Bozar was busy meeting with a mission from the neighbouring Kingdom of Franz, so he left the royal castle, judging that it was bad for Jin to interfere with his official duties.

Well, Arnold, are you sure you want to investigate the base you've been commissioned to investigate?

Yeah, of course.

All right.

Therefore, Ren instructed Hope to aim for the true west of "Mount Ono Uni".

It would take a little over half an hour to get there, so Jen asked Arnold the question she had just asked.

"Hey, what kind of 'Golem's Towing Vehicle' was that?"

Yeah, that's it? Basically, it started with putting golems instead of carriages.

"You know that."

"With the prolongation of the [War of Magic], we won't have to make a fool of ourselves on the battlefield."In the end, a golem-driven car was developed instead of a horse. "

“Did the golem that pulled the car have any special features?”

First of all, there was a spike on the soles of my feet.

I see, it looks like it's not slippery.

Yeah, and it was a little heavy.

Arnold said that weight reduction had not been considered.

"What about the suspension device on the wagon?"

"Yeah, it was sticking to you for a while."To keep your luggage to a minimum. "

I see. What was the structure?

"It's not a big structure." I was just using the twisting of the shaft. "

[Torsion bar]?

"Torsion bar" is a torsion spring that is also used in real-world automobiles.

Probably, Ren imagined that there were car bearings at both ends of the Ko-shaped support shaft, and that the vertical bars of Ko-shaped bars were fixed to the frame.

There are no dampers, but the protection of the luggage alone will suffice.

Well, I would have liked more time for development.

"I guess so..."

The blurring of Arnold, and he was the one who knew.

"Can I ask you one more question?"

Yeah?

"Just now, when you asked me about something that might be in the base, I hesitated a little bit, didn't I?" Why is that? "

"Haha, Jin can't fool you."... I thought maybe... "

"...... Something dangerous?"

Yeah, the ultimate weapon.

What a noisy word.

[Doomsday Machine]?

"Yeah.... well, I guess it's like the [rhetoric] during the war."The development code was "Doomsday Machine."

"Is that so..."

Even as Jen, I can understand it somewhat.

I want a good economic topic to cover up the unfavorable war situation.

I imagined that I would have developed it with that kind of name...

"The [Giggles] was a battle machine... and it was incomplete and defective, but was it more than that?"

"I don't know."It's just that the bosses at the time were talking about it. "

"I don't think it's like [Magus Runaway [Ether Stampede]]."

“No, because I was saying that only the enemy could be destroyed.”

"In other words, it's a weapon that attacks only the [Northern Nation] selectively..."

"Oh, I can't just leave it like that, can I?"

"That's right..."

I would have had to leave it if I didn't know it, but now that I know it, there's nothing I can do about it.

You don't have any information on what it's like, do you?

I don't think so... it seems that there was a secret development.

Well, that's right.

A weapon that turns things upside down is a secret to the enemy and an information requirement for allies.

Even if we don't have to go to the base where we're going, we might have another base or facility somewhere.

Yeah, that's what happens.

"... you're not happy with the information, are you?"

It was Jin who sighed.



"Hurricane" arrived west of "Mount Ono Uni".

Well, how do we find it?

What kind of detection do you have, Jin?

If we can find the free magic (ether) reaction...

"Oh, that's amazing. Try using that."

“Need to narrow the area to increase sensitivity?”

"Yes. The approximate distance is about 20 to 50 kilometers from the summit, directly west of Mount Ono Uni."

"All right."

Jen instructed Hope to start the [Magic Element Probe (Ether Radar)].

I left the flight to Hope and the Magic Element Probe (Ether Radar) to Reiko.

And fly for 30 minutes.

"Father, there's a reaction in the basement."

Reiko found something.
