Magi Craft Meister

07-10 Ether Mystery

After finishing the meal, each afternoon was to act thoughtfully.

Somehow Jen headed towards the mine, but in a place where there were no people, Reiko unraveled herself (stealth) and appeared. And

"Father, something seems to have happened in Penglai."

That's what I told Jen.

"Something that can't even be handled by Lao Zi?

"No, it sounds like an important discovery I'd rather report"

"Right. All right, let's go home for once."

That said, Jen herself used the consumer (stealth) and went back to the carriage while Reiko and I were hiding. Jen can't see outside, so Keiko pulls over.

Confirming that no one was watching, he gently boarded the carriage, activated the hidden transfer gate (warp gate) and jumped to Penglai Island.

"Welcome home, Master (My Road)"

As he left the transfer gate (Warp Gate) on Penglai Island, Old Zi's voice greeted him.

"Oh, I'm home. What do you want me to tell you?

Jen went out to the room where the main body of "Lao Zi" was located and lowered his back to the provided chair. Keiko will also refrain from taking sides.

"Yes, my lord. Actually, I'm talking about the Albatross unit."

Albatross is a plane that flies in the Magic Spray Propulsion Engine (Magijet Engine) created by Jen.

"We're still making topographic maps from surveys from the sky, but in the process, we found something unexpected."

"Unexpected?

"Yes. Take a look at this first"

At the direction of "Lao Zi," before Jen's eyes, the map in the process of being made was widened. The person in charge is Land 1 of the Army Golem.

"Well done."

"Thank you. The details are coming up, but I think we can grasp the approximate terrain."

"Yeah. But why aren't there many southern hemispheres?

The topographical map depicted the northern hemisphere in detail, but the southern hemisphere depicted only a few.

"That's the point of this report."

And 'Lao Zi' began reporting.

"Measurements were well underway in the beginning. But 'Albatross' headed south has complained of the anomaly. Skygolem on board at the same time."

"Anomaly?"

"Yes, the Magnetic Converter (Ether Converter) is less efficient to operate. But I couldn't detect anything out of the ordinary when I checked back for Albatross."

When Jen heard that, one hypothesis came to his mind, but because of lack of information, he refrained from making an immediate decision and let 'Lao Zi' continue ahead.

"And heading north, 'Albatross', on the contrary, means that the magic converter (ether converter) has become unusually more efficient. Skygolem on board reports that this has become equally efficient."

Jen, who heard that, was curious that the hypothesis was not wrong.

"Lao Zi" concluded from the above that airborne free magic (ether) concentrations appear to be thick enough to go north and lower enough to go south. That matches Jen's hypothesis.

"Father."

At that time, Reiko, who had remained silent until now, opened her mouth.

"In your mother's time, she was separated from demonic lands to the north and human lands to the south. What does that have to do with anything?

'Lao Zi' heard that,

"Thanks for the good info, Reiko. Master (My Road), from the information we have now, it seems certain that the free magic hormone (ether) concentration will be thick enough to go north."

and concluded that Jen agrees. Reiko, too,

"Besides, when I moved here and there looking for your father before, there was a land where the efficiency of the Magnetic Converter, Ether Converter, was unusually increased. Maybe it was the North."

Explain. Jen sighs at it, and concludes.

"Yeah, with all that facts, whatever the reason, there seems to be no mistake in that. In that case, there is an urgent need to develop a plane that can go south, regardless of whether it is going north."

So Jen worked with 'Laoko' to design the new machine.

"Install three Magnetic Converters (Ether Converters). It also has a large magic reservoir (mana tank) so that it can fly without free magic elements (ethers)."

Unlike mechanical planes, neither the Magnetic Converter (Ether Converter) nor the Magic Reservoir (Mana Tank) are as large as the size, so the fuselage will never grow larger where it is added.

"My Lord, I also recommend adding a Magic Spray Propulsion Engine (Magijet Engine)"

It has been suggested that 'Lao Zi' should have more engines. Jen decided to adopt the opinion,

"All right, let's get one more on each wing. With a total of three engines, you can fly longer distances."

The number of engines and the distance flown would not simply be proportional, but would be effective in that it would be easier to increase flight speed and flight altitude. Jen doesn't originally have that much aerodynamics. I just have experience building model planes. If it wasn't, I'd just rebuild it, I think.

It was thus decided to build several fuselages.

First, a fuselage for long-range reconnaissance. It is equipped with three magic converters (ether converters) and three magic jet propulsion engines (magijet engines). It has a large magic reservoir (mana tank) that theoretically makes it easy to circle a planet in this world.

Next up is the fuselage for transport. Equivalent to long-range reconnaissance, it is a fuselage with increased main wing area and torso volume in order to increase mounting weight over flight distance.

The last is the aircraft for covert manoeuvres. "Albatross" based, but with a consumer (stealth) capability, it is a fuselage that can enhance attack and move fast. It is no exaggeration when it comes to stealth fighters.

Each name is' Skylark 'for reconnaissance,' Pelican 'for transport, and' Raptor 'for covert use.

Skylark is Hibari, Raptor is Raptor. It is a name from the name I heard when Jen was on Earth. Either Albatross feels more like a long-range reconnaissance aircraft name than Skylark, but don't worry about it because it's Jen's name.

At the end of the design of a street, Jen was once again looking at the map.

Measurements so far have roughly grasped the size of this star.

"But you were smaller than I thought"

The diameter of this planet, calculated by "Lao Zi", is about 2,400 kilometers. It is considerably smaller than the Earth has a diameter of about 12700 km.

"Heavy element after all...... maybe it's packed with demonic elements"

Jen also took an interest in the structure of this star, but he switches his mind behind it.

"'Lao Zi', there seems to be disturbing air in this world too, don't fail to be vigilant"

And, just in case.

"Yes, you mean" slave rewrite magic "or the Unified Party (Unifiler). Reiko has reported it."

"Yeah, that's right. If I find out about this place, I'll definitely be targeted. Take care of yourself."

"Copy that, Master (My Road). If you do, the village of Kaina must also be vigilant."

"Right."

A special village name for Jen. It is a village that can also be described as the second home.

Jen slightly inflated his expectations that now that he has received the title of Honorary Magician "Onorari Magicraftsman" in the Kingdom of Egerea, he may be able to make a dignified trip to the Kingdom of Klein and to the village of Kaina in one of its regions. That's going to be a little further though.

Then Jen spent some time listening to detailed reports about the island's development and hearing about the situation on the island.

In a nutshell, it's going very well.

Finally, I asked about the mining of Elladolite, but unfortunately no mineral veins were found in Penglai or Koh Chang.

"Well, I can't help it. Keep investigating."

"Yes, Master (My Road)"

Then Jen swung through the transfer gate (Warp Gate) again and returned to the village of Yada.

The village of Yada was still bright due to jet lag.

Jen left the carriage and checked to see if there was any damage at last, but there was no abnormality anywhere.

"Ah, Jin."

There was a voice there. Turn around, Elsa.

"What, are you doing it?

"Yeah, check the carriage. Tomorrow, we're going to a village with ruins, right? So."

If you answer that, Elsa will look satisfied.

"Jin, you're not good. I'm still being cautious making all this stuff."

"Ha, you're not gonna get anything."

Jen, who so returned to Elsa's praise,

"All right, no abnormalities"

I slapped my hands on my breasts and said so.

"I hope it gets weather tomorrow"

"Mmm."

Jen looks up at the sky as she walks alongside Elsa.

The red-dyed sunset clouds seemed to announce the good weather tomorrow.
