Magi Craft Meister

The "Citon River Ruins (tentative name) Survey Team" departed on March 7.

We are leaving in half a day's preparation.

The lightness of such footwork is characteristic of the "Northern Nation".I don't feel relaxed because it has a long lifespan.

And one more thing.

The Kondaku of "Morira" can use transfer magic. This is big.

The weight that can be transferred together is about 100 kilograms, and speaking of the size, it is in a sphere with a diameter of 2 meters centered on itself.The transferable distance is approximately 1000 kilometers.

This allows you to transfer one person other than yourself and replenish necessary supplies and missing items.

So it was quite easy to get around.

I used a large wind float (blow floater) that was newly built by Rhodotus.

It can fit 10 people, and [microbus] may be close to the image.

That's Rhodotus. He's fast.

"Isn't it more than 100 kilometers an hour?"

"Oh, 120 kilos."

"It's amazing at this size.Don't get there by the end of the day. "

It takes about 600 kilometers, or five hours, to reach the mouth of the Shitong River, the clan territory and destination of "Morira".

In fact, the party arrived at their destination in six and a half hours, taking a break along the way.

The day is over as we prepare for the camp.

Most of the preparations were made by the girl automatic doll (automata) "Momoko" brought by Rhodotus.

It's an easy expedition, isn't it?

Well, if only we had all this equipment.

Harunata, the [Puppet], said, and the [Morira (Shinra)] 's Kondaku reacted.

This time I am using a large 10-person wind turbine (blow floater), so I have plenty of space for luggage and supplies.

Therefore, we have prepared plenty of cold-resistant equipment, so camping is easy.

Large tents are made of highly insulating fabrics, and heating magic tools do not consume oxygen, so they are not prone to acid deficiency.

Soft flooring and thick sleeping bags will keep you comfortable on cold nights.

In addition, there is enough food, so I feel like I am coming to camp for leisure rather than an expedition.

A non-urgent line of research is a good thing.

Archista of "Gospel", who has been investigating the ruins twice so far, said it was spotty.

“Speaking of which, how was the last survey?”

Rhodotus asked, and the Archista replied shimmeringly.

"Is that what you call an overlook? It was empty inside."...... I had a hard time with the Snow Tiger (Snow Tiger) swarm settling in. "

"Snow Tiger (Snow Tiger)?" If you were exterminated, would you have made a good profit from your fur? "

Well, you could say that.

Snow tiger (snow tiger) fur is robust, thermal insulating, and practical. If you take it to the mainland of Lauren, it will be more than five times the current value.

Chatting around a portable fireplace.It gets late at night.

There was also a "barrier generator" (barrier projector) to protect against the demon beast, so I entrusted the watch to "Peach" while sleeping, and everyone rested well.



The investigation began the next morning.

Nearby is a terrain where boulders protrude into the plain.

Is it "karst" as an image?

In Japan, it is Yamaguchi Prefecture's Akiyoshidai.

Akiyoshidai is a kind of place in the middle of the mountains, but it's different around the mouth of the river.

The group searched for such a place.

It was the first thing I saw.

It was like a building made of rock with an old door.

Apparently, it's a tiny house made of scraped natural bare rock.

Is this it?

"Hmm, it's similar to what I've been hearing."The scale is smaller than I thought. "

"I don't know what to do from here."

"I'll look into it."

The candidate was Momoko.It is an automatic doll (automaton) of the load toss.

Um, well then, please.

Yes.

Therefore, "Momoko" put his hand on the old door. And......

The door opens as Momoko puts in the strength of her body.

Momoko stopped her hand when it was about 50 centimeters wide.

Peek inside through the opening.

"Inside... it's wide, but it's a dead end."

"Huh!?"

I was taken aback by the unexpected report.

However, there have been further reports.

"There are remains of tables and chairs.And then there's something written on the back wall. ”

Can you read it, Momoko?

"Yes, it's collapsed everywhere... but it's said that the Sin * mine is closed because there is no profit * anymore."

"Hmm... [The Citon Mine has closed because it is no longer profitable.]"

Apparently, it was the entrance to the mine or something.

So, when I opened the door a little more, and we all went inside, it seemed like this place was like a mine control room.

The wreckage of tables and chairs would be a remnant of the office work.

But this doesn't seem to be the entrance to the mine.

Rhodotus said.

This is a management facility, and the mine must have been somewhere else.

"Right. Well, I don't think it's that far."

Would you like to look for it?

"That's right, we've come a long way."Besides, I want to know what was picked. "

So I decided to split up and look for any remnants of the mine entrance nearby.

Two people from the same clan search for each other in pairs.

Thinking that it could not be so far away, I searched for it, and about 30 minutes later, two architects and a surgeon of the "Gospel" found something like that.

Isn't it here?

Which one?

Where is it? Where is it?

Did you find it?

When Archista spoke up, the nearby Condac and Zedais immediately reacted, followed by Rhodotus and Harunata, who were a little further away.

It was a dome-shaped rock base with obvious artificially blocked marks.

However, due to the age of 700 years, it was buried in the sand, and the grass was lush in the middle, so even if you are careful, you will not notice it.

Both Archista and Sargeller were magic engineers who could only find it because they were able to use [Underground Exploration (Grand Search)].

"What do you say we get out of the dirt and rocks at the entrance?"

"If you come here, you won't have to do it."

We were all unanimous in deciding to investigate the old mine.
