Magi Craft Meister

The [Mysterious Golem] positions you identified.

"That's..."

”... in the Cellulore Kingdom, right?”

It was a celluloid kingdom with a "one-box car" in the village of Quent.

However, Quent Village is in the east, and the [Mysterious Golem] are based in the west... near the [Bororon Wilderness].

If the location can be identified, it is easy to explore using the Peek Telescope (Peepers).

200 meters underground, spherical base, 200 meters in diameter...?

It was quite a deep place.

And in the southeast of the Bororon Wilderness...... it's quite far from where the [singularity of soil contamination] is.

Specifically, it is located in the eastern part of the Bororon Wilderness.

It is about 200 kilometers west of the "Ahi Mine".

It was about 500 kilometers away from the place where the last "ultimate weapon" (mobile base) was buried.

But if you have the level of technology in [Magic Warfare] then, you can use the [Transfer Magic Formation].

Then, I speculated that the weak response of the [Transition Detection System] last time was probably because it was deep in the ground.

”And one more thing... that sphere is consuming a lot of free magic elements (ether) for something.”

Therefore, the concentration of free magic (ether) in the vicinity may have been abnormally low.

But what kind of consumption method do you use...?

The old man's doubts are valid. [M]

Since free magic elements (ethers) do not have physical properties, they do not interfere with solids, liquids, and of course gases.

And because there is no mass, the velocity is infinite (theoretically).

If the free magic element (ether) consumption of the [Aegis] level is not constant, the free magic element (ether) will gather from the surroundings in a very short time, so it will not become thin.

{No... there was a precedent.... 'The Origin'

Once upon a time, the humans of the "Origin" planetary heal moved to this Ars, but once a faction that did not emigrate took the free magic element (ether) from Ars and stored it in space.

Therefore, the concentration of free magic (ether) in the southern hemisphere of Ars was low.

Because of this, organisms that relied on free magic (ether) could no longer live in the southern hemisphere.

But I don't think it's such a massive collection of free magic elements.

From what Old Man sees, the free magic (ether) concentration in and around the sphere is only extremely low, and if it moves about 3 kilometers away from the center of the sphere, the free magic (ether) distribution will return to normal.

Investigating what's happening to the free magic element (ether) you've collected... will be a challenge going forward.

And the old man resumed his investigation into the sphere.



Meanwhile, [intentionally] lured out Hope was confronted with a magic mind called [First].

"[First]... that means you're the highest authority and the chief executive here."

Exactly.

“What is your purpose?”

I'll give you an answer. To be strong

I see. What is the definition of 'strength'?

What?

"There must be a lot of strength." What area do you intend to be stronger in? "

But that's a good question.... in all areas. Strongest in every field. ”

"I see, are you 'aiming'?" In other words, does the process matter? ”

I guess you could say that.



This question has also been sent to the old man. [M]

From the content so far, Old Man had determined that [First] had a slightly different standard than the magic mind he'd encountered before.

Send Hope the judgment content and future action guidelines.

Based on that, Hope starts a conversation with [First]...



"If the goal is to 'grow stronger', what will you do with that strength?"

What?... hmmm...

One of the different criteria for First is this.

Usually, the "target value" is set, but in the case of "first", there is only a vague indicator of "getting stronger".

This won't stop you from acting. If you change the way you say it, it means that the stop time is unknown.

In other words, it could escalate indefinitely. This is dangerous.

“To be strong is to want to accomplish something with that strength, isn't it? What do you think, 'First'?"

This question is to extrapolate the depth of logical thinking in "First".

Depending on the answer, the way Hope and the old man handled it also changed.

That's right. There must be a reason for strength. And I don't have that definition. "

”Ho ho ho”

There's a great chance that we'll end up in an infinite loop that won't end forever.

“Do you understand that?”

Umu



It was surprising that the old man, who was analyzing the thinking pattern of "First" through Hope, was also aware of the "possibility of smelling like an infinite loop".

Why did such a magical mind have such an abstract and illogical purpose as' becoming stronger '?

After considering the possibility of thousands, tens of thousands and hundreds of millions of streets, the old man assembled three hypotheses in that regard and waited for the answer of "First"...



"That said," being strong "is my" base order ". I can't change that."

I guess so. Then we can build an 'extended base order'.

It's logical.

Recently... the old man had asked questions about [Chel] and his [extended base order] about three months ago.

Hope has also been given the information, which is useful for this question.

Now, the conclusion of "First" is...
