Magi Craft Meister

On May 21st, in "Avalon", Deus X Machina III gathered all the Tomoside Yodas to discuss.

“I'd like to hear about the control core that you guys were making and selling to make money.”

“Yes, ask me anything”

Tomoside Yoda is cooperative.

First of all, where did you get the Magic Crystal you used?

“It was purchased by Suzine Siden, who was responsible for the purchase.”

“Yes, I bought it”

Where are the suppliers?

"Well, I asked for an agency in Urau."

"Distributor?"

"Yes, sir."

It turned out that the sales and purchasing routes were the same.

Makina continued to ask questions.

“Do you know how many I've sold?”

"Yes. Uh, about 150."

“Do you know who the buyer is?”

“No, I left it to the agency.”

"I see.... one more thing.... why did you purchase the Light Attribute Magic Crystal?"

“It was taught that light attributes are good for control cores.”

Huh.

This is the conclusion that Ren reached based on the concepts suggested by [Elder] Tarless in the past.

It seems that these teachings were passed from the "family" to their descendants and disciples.

All attributes are certainly easy to handle, but the reason is that high-performance control cores have good light attributes with high magic frequency characteristics.

Tomoside Yoda answered.

“That's right, but wouldn't it be good to have all the attributes if you were selling it to the public?”

Yeah, that's right, but somehow, the Light Attribute Magic Crystal is cheaper to get.

"What..."

New facts have come to light here.

"Was that so?" What is the person in charge of purchasing on the agency side? "

This is Maorix, the manager.

"... I see."

Then she asked a few more questions, and Machina was satisfied and finished the discussion.



Is it a distributor again...?

The old man who was listening to Makina's questioning session in real time thought about it.

If you look like this, I have to say that the store manager, Maorix, is suspicious.

He was involved in both the sales and purchasing routes, and supplied the Tomoshidae with the Light Attribute Magic Crystal.

Is it possible to process the magic crystal (magic crystal) that has already been engraved on the [backdoor] as a control core...?

Even Old Man couldn't draw a definite conclusion about this, so he decided to check with Jen in Reuzart.

What's the matter, old man?

It seemed that Joey was cleaning up the workshop in Reuzart's mansion, and there was an immediate response through the "Bracelet of Friends".

Master (My Lord), I need you to confirm something while I'm busy.

Yeah.

And the old man told Jen what Makina had confirmed.

I see.... yes, I don't think so.

Jen said that if the magic crystal (magic crystal) engraved with "backdoor" in advance is written as a control core afterwards, the place of engraving is not determined.

Therefore, it may be that the "back door" does not work or the magic formula (magic formula) interferes with each other and does not establish itself as a control core.

I see, there is such a risk.

Don't let that happen to you.

In that case, the magic crystal at the time of delivery hasn't been added to anything.

I think so.

Thank you, Master (My-Load). That means that you were sent to the distributor for shipment, and then the "backdoor" was installed.

Don't let that happen to you.

The old man decided to end his correspondence with Jin there. I decided not to interrupt Jin's private time too much.

Dealer... it was completely different when the clerk was kidnapped during the [Magic Brain Ubel] incident, and it must have been unexpected as the store manager's Maorix.

That's why I was in a normal panic and worried about the safety of the clerk, so the old man imagined the mentality of Maorix at the time.

It was the victim at that time, wasn't it?

But from another point of view, it could be a criminal.

... it seems better to let Deneb 15 know.



"... yes, I understand"

Since it is compressed data communication, Deneb 15 received the data in about 0.2 seconds.

After that, the data was expanded, and it took about 1 second to confirm and responded.

"After all, that store manager is suspicious?" In other words, he knows that the magic crystal he's sending this time is a trap, so he won't do anything about it. "

It seems that we are finally one step closer to the truth.



Well, Peggy Zenos, who stayed in the distributor's quarters, was stuck.

"... this seems to be the center of shipping... it's going to be sent from here to various countries and back to customers... it's inefficient to work on it from here on out..."

Since there are countless destinations (including individual customers), it is too inefficient to craft all or part of them.

"If you do that, I'm sure you've been working on it somewhere so far... but this time, nothing happened."

Peggy was worried that there was no clue.



Zega Ramban, a member of the Bureau of Intelligence of the "World Guard" in charge of "Back Office", also did not achieve any results.

"What a strange thing..."

Experience has shown that nothing is caught, that is, "nothing suspicious".

However, there is a contradiction that "backdoor" is actually being worked out.

Zega Lamban was a veteran, but this time she was at a loss.



Deneb 15, also known as "Erica", from "Row 5 (Quinta)" is here to support the "World Guard".

But how do we tell them that Maorix, the distributor manager, is a suspect?

It was a very difficult mission... "
