Magi Craft Meister

Makina's party along the maintenance aisle was in front of the red door.

"Probably the power chamber up ahead."

Would you like to open it?

"Ray, please."

Cavalier Ray set out to unlock the door.

Fortunately, it was not a complicated locking mechanism, but a way to match two dials numbered from 0 to 9 to a predetermined number.

In other words, you can open it up to 10 times 10, or 100 trials.

There was no penalty for repeating the number error, and the door was opened for the twenty-third time... [22] was the correct number...

Oops?

The interior was thin and bright unlike before.

The "ether emitter (AL)" embedded in the wall and ceiling emits a pale light.

And the power chamber, illuminated by the dim light, was quite idle.

If you add more lights in the "Ball of Light", you can see the entire room.

"This is... terrible."

The end of the cable that sent magic power to each department protruded over here.

But there is no magic machine (magic machine)...... "magic transducer (ether converter)" and "magic furnace (mana driver)" to connect it.

To be precise, there were about three cables connected.

But it was water in the burnt stone. It is unlikely that the cable end of this room can be processed unless it is 100 times that much.

"It's good to make it, but I can't move it because of lack of energy... I guess it's not done yet..."

"Let's take a look around."

That's right.

Makina was accompanied by Cavalier Ray, and decided to look around the power room.



"... you were really unfinished."

Those who watched the exploration in Avalon breathed a sigh of relief.

"In addition to the shortage of materials, there is a shortage of manpower. On top of that, the [Magus Runaway] [Ether Stampede] must have stopped the construction."

Someone said it, and most people agreed.

But Zion and Arnold twisted their necks.

"Arnold, do you have any doubts?"

When Jen asked, Arnold began to think and explain.

"Yeah, I've seen the inside of the Mobile Station so far, but I've had some discomfort."

Uncomfortable?

"Yeah, that's right. That's..."

Here, Theon opened his mouth.

"... there is no trace of the person who created the [Mobile Station]." Isn't that right? "

"Yes, Mr. Theon."

“What do you mean?”

Questions arise from people who don't understand the meaning of the suspicions that Theon and Arnold felt.

Jen answered this question.

"Someone would have said that earlier." Perhaps the construction of the [Magus Runaway [Ether Stampede]] stopped. "

That's for sure.

“That's it. So what happened to the engineer who built it?”

Ah...

Jin told me and I noticed.

"That means it's strange that there's not a single body."

Okay, sure.

“Even if we were to let the golems do the work, there would still be that kind of golem inside. I don't see that golem either."

You're right.

It seems that everyone finally understood the anomaly inside the [Mobile Station].

"Two reasons come to mind right away."

Gin-sama, is that it?

"... one is that the construction of this [Mobile Base] was abandoned before the [Magic Rampage] [Ether Stampede] was stopped."

I see.

"The other is that after [Magic Rampage] [Ether Stampede], there may be someone who" cleansed "the [Mobile Station]."

Well, you can say that for sure.

The conference hall is troublesome.

“But I think the latter is unlikely.”

Arnold said this time.

"I don't know the motive or purpose of 'cleaning'. Even if we cleaned up the Mobile Station to use it for something, there's no sign of using it at all.”

“What is the likelihood that you brought out the internal equipment and materials?”

"There was no trace of it at all." If you're not aiming for total criminality, no one will bother to erase the traces you took out. ”

Everyone was convinced by Arnold's explanation, and at the same time he twisted his neck to this [mystery].

"... a hypothesis."

Breaking the silence, Theon opened his mouth.

It's true that there were about 25 million tons of iron resources of unknown use.

Yes.

"And the mobile base found this time is about 1.6 million tons to 1.7 million tons."

"Ah...!"

Yes, that difference is still missing, isn't it?

"Yes, it is."

“Could it be used to make some kind of weapon somewhere else?”

In addition to this hypothesis of Theon, the faces of the "World Conference" slightly change their complexion.

“If that's the case, there's still an unknown threat left somewhere in the world.”

Negative legacy... we have to find it and deal with it.

“However, I don't know where to look.”

Here's another word for Theon.

“It's just a hypothesis, so don't rush more than you need to.”

”Hmm... that's right, too”

"However, I want to continue my investigation....."

Such an opinion also came out.

“We're going to have to start by being careful in each country.”

I'm sure it will be.

It's something that doesn't even know where it is or whether it exists in the first place.

There was too much ground for concrete action.

I'd like to know if the [Mobile Base] has any clues.

That's right.

Actually, there was a little more twist and turn, but it came to this conclusion.
