Magi Craft Meister

86-12 Old Man's guess.

After visiting the lower level of the "Spherical Base", Hope asked the guide, "Spokes".

"Can you tell me why the free magic (ether) concentration here is extremely low?"

"What?... um, wait a minute"

The spokesperson communicated with "First" using magic waves and answered in a dozen seconds.

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that."

I see, I see.

Probably the old man had a clue, but Hope didn't pursue it any further.



And according to Hope's guess, Lao-kun had figured out why the free magic element (ether) concentration inside the [Spherical Base] was low.

It seems to be because of the [Magic Barrier].

A barrier similar to the "Magic Barrier" was developed around the "Spherical Base".

I could not analyze it with sufficient accuracy because it was far away, but I was able to understand the approximate structure.

If you say so, it's because of the halfway strength.

Although it has the effect of preventing detection and defending against magic, the free magic (ether) wave of the "Peek Telescope (Peepers)" can pass through slightly attenuated objects.

However, because the transmittance of free magic (ether) around the sphere is low, the sphere interior is short of free magic (ether).

In Ponri Island, there is usually only a "free magic (ether) channel" open, so there is no need to worry about the lack of free magic (ether) inside.

The [Free Magic (Ether) Channel] can also be closed as needed.

Now, what about the golems other than Hope...? "

I see, are you charging from a dedicated server of free magic (ether)?

There is a free magic element (ether) server that closely resembles the "magic element replenisher (mana server)", and it seems that the free magic element (ether) is replenished once a day.

Outside of the "Spherical Base", the magnetic transducer (ether converter) was activated.

However, the [Free Magic (Ether) Supply (Server)] was not released to Hope. In other words, it is possible that [First] is waiting for Hope's [Mana Tank] to empty and stop.

But there are many things you can do

You can deliver the Magic Elemental Stone (Manassel) and the Magic Storage (Mana Bomb) to Hope with the "Transporter", and Hope's "Magic Reactor" also supports the rare free magic element (Ether) to some extent.

It's impossible to act at full power for a long time, but with an output of about 30%, you can keep moving without any problems.

”But Hope might stop, but she wouldn't tell me. I still can't trust" First "."

The old man had to keep watch.



Hope and [Spokes] were looking around the seventh layer.

"This is a factory too. Magic crystals (magic crystals) are processed here."

"Spokes" explained in front of the rightmost of the four lined doors.

"There are a lot of confidential things inside, so I can't show them."

I'm sorry, but I understand.

Next is in front of one of the left doors.

"And this is a magic tool factory." It mainly manufactures magic tools used in this base. I can't show you inside here either. "

Yes.

Then another door on the left.

"We make weapons here." I can't even show you here. "

I can't help it.

And finally, the leftmost door.

"You can show me here for now." That said, there's nothing you can gain from seeing it. "

“What are you making?”

"We make bars and planks from ingots."

"If you don't mind, show me."

"All right."

The Spokes opened the door.

Thank you very much.

Hope looked inside without stepping into the room.

I wanted to see if there was any unusual technology being used.

However, there was nothing particularly novel about it against my will.

Thank you very much.

Is that enough?

Yes.

Alright, let's go to the next level.



It is the eighth hierarchy.

This is the hierarchy where First Masters are installed.

"That's right. There are many other military rooms, including the command room, so I'll have to dispose of them."

Got it.



But it's none of your business.

Hmm... there's a 'first' about 15 meters up the hierarchy from the center of the sphere.

Observe with the "Peek Telescope (Peepers)".

There is a barrier similar to the "Magic Barrier", so there is some noise, but it does not interfere with information gathering.

{The command room... there's equipment for humans. However, just like in the settlement, there is no trace of human presence... which means that it hasn't been used by humans yet. "

In other words, Lao Jun thought that this "spherical base" was likely unfinished or recently completed.

And isn't this the same kind of "Doomsday Machine"?

The final weapon in this example is the name of the giant weapon that Arnold had planned during the Great War of Magic.

When investigating the distribution of soil contamination in the Bororon Wilderness in the Cellulose Kingdom, the unfinished "mobile base" was found when searching for singularities with abnormally low concentrations.

That was on April 2nd.

"It was a hemisphere with a diameter of 100 meters, but it was 200 meters in diameter. The structure is similar. Is this the main purpose?

The hemispherical "Mobile Station" had not yet been equipped with a magical brain.

However, this "Spherical Base" has magic brains and golems and is operational.

If this is the main order, there is also an explanation of the unused steel.

It just doesn't seem to be powered...

Yes, there was no power in the [Spherical Base].

As it is, it will remain buried in the ground.

Or is it 'unfinished'?

Unlike the "Mobile Base", this one had magic brains and golems installed and deployed, so Lao Jun made a hypothesis that he might have taken actions to enrich the base on his own.

In that case, it is also a reason to "seek knowledge and information".

So the old man contacted Hope to confirm that point.
