Do you use solids?

Yeah.

Laojun's mobile terminal "Laozi" visits Hannah, who is researching at Planet Hale, and asks how to communicate through the "Magic Barrier".

“Let's start with general theory.... 'Physical barrier (solid barrier)' is not formed in solids"

That's right. It's a barrier that interferes with matter, so it doesn't expand into solids like the ground.

"Physical barriers (solid barriers)" interfere with matter, and therefore do not form in the ground.

Then, what kind of principle is developed? The geometry centered on the so-called "antenna" of the generator... Mostly, a "net of free magic elements (ether)" is formed along the spherical surface. The "net" serves as a guiding line, and the magic power that determines the nature of the barrier is transmitted, and it becomes a "barrier (barrier)".

The nature and strength of the barrier (barrier) is determined by the conditions such as the finer the eye of the net, the coarser the solid, and the liquid in between, as well as the magic strength and frequency.

Of course, this is just a simple explanation, so there are actually more parameters and more detailed control.

Since a “barrier” is deployed under such conditions, a “physical barrier” that rejects solids is not deployed in the ground or, depending on the conditions, in liquids.

"Magic barrier" is also developed with a similar mechanism, but because of the "barrier" that rejects "magic waves" and "free magic elements (ether)", it does not have physical characteristics.

In other words, it is also deployed in solids and liquids.

"Yeah, that's right.... and where the free magic element (ether) is supplied to maintain the [magic barrier] is because of its guiding line, the [net of free magic element (ether)]."

"Yes. At the same time, the" guidewire "also has a shielding effect that does not pass free magic (ether) waves." This is why "physical barriers (solid barriers)" also need to be used to prevent magic with physical phenomena. "

Hannah affirmed the "barrier" mechanism when Lao Tzu spoke about it.

So, using solids... ahh!

Fufu, looks like I noticed you, too.

Yeah, if only I could get this kind of clue.... the "net of free magic (ether)" that is deployed in the solid does not act to absorb the "free magic (ether)". "

"Yes, yes."

It can only have a mere shielding effect

"That's right.... so to get past the shield effect..."

You can use powerful magic waves like that.

"Yeah, that's what I came to."

Well done, Hannah-san.

"Yep.... the [Magic Barrier] generator used for the experiment will be placed on the table for use." That's why you didn't even think about it. "

I understand.

If I had installed it on the ground and experimented with it, I might have noticed it earlier, Laozi admitted.

"That said, I can say it's 'powerful', but it's not half as strong as it should be."

I guess so.

"But I realized that more or less in the [solid], the shielding effect of the [net] would also be weakened."

You're a genius, Hannah-san.

"Thanks, Laozi."

In a nutshell, Hannah developed a communication device that uses magic waves that transmit "underground".

It is easy to say that normal magic waves propagate regardless of whether they are in the ground, in the air, or in the water.

Hannah, who developed this device, took off her hat without knowing if there was a waveform that could be transmitted underground.

"Well, if you use a magic wave with a wavelength that resonates with the strength of the free magic element (ether) present in the [ground], about 40% will travel through the ground." The rest of it is going to propagate through the air. "

Forty percent? It's enough for communication. "

“Yes, I think it would be realistic if it were that strong.”

After hearing the other detailed explanations, Lao Tzu was convinced to leave the planet Hale behind.

Of course, get the prototype of the "Hannah Magic Communicator (Manacam)".



In the village of Quent, even after the mysterious golem left, the inhabitants were terrified.

Visiting such a villager's house, the village chief says, "It's okay."

I don't know how effective it is, but enthusiasm comes through.

And considering the villagers, Ren was impressed that he was a good village chief.

(Well, actually, there's no mysterious golem around 50 kilometers...)

I knew it from your report. [M]

The problem is the purpose, base, and mastermind of the mysterious golem...



That night, after dinner, I went into my bedroom.

I got a call from Jin-kun.

Master (My Lord), excuse me for the evening.

"Oh, old man, I don't care."

Jen has nothing to complain about, because the old man can't put in an unnecessary contact. [M]

I have some reports.

"Let me ask you something."

By the way, Elsa can hear me because I'm in speaker mode. Reiko goes without saying.

She also asked Saki and Goose. Sharing information is important.

First of all, the mysterious golem returned, but I couldn't identify the destination.

"What!?"

I don't have any face. I couldn't even find the "Transition Detector". It's my fault. "

"No, I can't help it if I didn't get a response from the [Transference Detector]." Please let me know first. "

Yes, Master (My Lord)... we will continue monitoring with the watchers and the peek telescope (Peepers)

Yeah.

”And then, Rowzo-san and the others went home......”

The old man gave an account of their 'base'. [M]

I see, there's a strict barrier in place.

Yes, Master (My Lord), probably due to their 'first generation' technology.

I see. Now I can't make the magic tool for the [Phantom Barrier].

Yes.

We'll have to go to their base tomorrow and see it with our own eyes.

Please do so. and...... ”

Is there anything else?

Yes, Master (My Lord). I'm in Quent Village right now, but it looks like there's a 'Guardian Golem'.

"What!?"

This was also a surprise for Jen.

"I stumbled across it in" Peek Telescope (Peepers) ". Of course, it's stopped now."

"... let me know what you know."

Yes, Master (My Lord)

"The old man started telling me the results of his investigation..."
