Magi Craft Meister

Messenger in the 14-09 basement

"The basement."

Called by Regulus 45, Jens, who returned inside, stared at the open stairs at his feet.

"... the fact that Leggles45's preliminary investigation didn't even show that a special connection seemed to have been put in place"

Jen, who was looking near the entrance, concluded.

These hidden rooms and passageways can be found in Acoustic Exploration (Sonar), etc. That you were covering it up would be a pretty advanced juncture.

"I'll go in first to see if I'm in danger"

Leggles45 said so quickly or jumped into the entrance open to the floor. The sound of running down the stairs is getting smaller and smaller, and eventually you won't hear it.

As the line waited silently for about five minutes, I heard footsteps again and Leggles 45 came back.

"There is no danger. It's quite an interesting place."

and report. Seems faster to look at the content.

"Okay, let's go."

Go down the stairs in the order of Regulus 45, Reiko, Jen, Hannah, Saki, Stearena and Elsa.

Surprisingly, an ether emitter (AL) was affixed to the wall here, which emitted light as the Jens proceeded. Given that it didn't glow when Leggles 45, he reacts to humans. It's quite an advanced trick.

The stairs are about fifty steps, somewhat deep underground first floor, something like that?

At the end of the descent there is a door, and when the legulus 45 opens it.

"Whoa!?

"Funny!

"Hmm, this is..."

"What, this?

"... wow"

The reaction of the Five without the Three.

There it was, the sea of stars.

No, it was a mural, a ceiling painting mimicking the starry sky.

Thin blurry starlight. Apparently, this room is hemispherical. It's like Planetarium that doesn't move.

"'Welcome, gentlemen'"

I heard voices from nowhere.

"Who?

"'I was left to tell the facts to those who visited me separately for a long time'"

"... artificial brains?

"'You may perceive it that way'"

In short, he will be just like you. Although it seems to be simply the ability to speak the message.

"What are the facts to tell......?

"Why is the people of the Kingdom of Leonard gone?"

It was a shocking fact. It seems that the people of the Kingdom of Leonard disappeared with some clear purpose. Everyone wanted to know why.

"Let me hear it"

"'Cause that's my existential significance'"

The story told by the mysterious voice was astounding.

"'Now 234 years ago, there was an unknown plague within the kingdom. It was named' Magic Fever '."

"Magic fever..."

Before this, Jen and Elsa were made to struggle. They've had pandemics in the past.

"'The plague began in the north of the country and has gradually gone south. The mortality rate was high and unprotected at first. The bodies were burned until they were ashes, so much so that the population of the kingdom was halved'"

Happy or unhappy, they didn't fly over there because they didn't have any national relations with their neighbors, the kingdoms of Klein, Cellular or Egerea.

"'At the same time as looking for a cure, it was considered to leave the country. It's a plague coming down south from the north, so if you want to escape, it's south. To name a country, the construction of a giant ship began.'"

I wondered if that was in time, Jen thought, but the story immediately follows.

"'The ship wasn't going to make it. And the other place to evacuate was the sky." "

"Sky!?

"On the sky... what the hell?

"'It's the moon, to be exact. The kingdom of Leonard was left with one magic formation, not knowing if it belonged to them one day." "

Magic Formation. A Magic Formula (Magi Formula) is arranged in a circular fashion, so to speak, a Magic Formula (Magi Formula). It is a magic technique that can amplify its effects by circular circles of magic, but which is difficult to handle and has become obsolete in modern times.

"'Legend has it that we make our way to the moon that floats in the sky'"

I thought Jen would say the magic formation of the metastatic system.

"'First the royal people, then the ministers. And the knights, the soldiers, the common people. We metastasized one after the other, and not a single one came back'"

……

"'Those who remained marginally suffered the plague and died. I was created by one of the remaining Alexta Stackle magic engineers to help inform future generations of this event."

In short, the plague became endemic.

To evacuate, the legendary Transition Magic Formation was used.

Most of the people transferred and never came back.

The mysterious voice is the messenger left behind by the remaining magical guidance technicians.

Jen summed up the story in her head to see if this was going to happen. At the same time some questions arise.

"Didn't you even confirm where that metamagic formation... was going?

Whatever it takes, Jen thought...

"'Yes, it was the king of time, Lentra XI, who first rode the magic formation." The king shall fear nothing, and shall go first. ""

I'm not afraid, but I can hear you. Jen had a critical sentiment that he feared the plague but therefore abandoned the country, and that he was the first to escape.

"And he said he wouldn't come back... Isn't it just because you didn't have the means to go back?

Saki made such a guess.

"'No, the Magic Formation itself is something that anyone can draw, and I rarely use Magnetin (Mana).'"

If I wanted to go back, I would have gone back.

So it was quite cozy of the destination not to come back? Saki could not argue any further.

"Do you know what kind of magic formation it is?

He seems interested, and Jen asks such a question. But the reply was disappointing.

"'It has not been told to me. So I don't know.'"

Well, it would be nice to have a transfer gate (warp gate), but I was still interested in a technology that could be transferred only by the magic team.

More than that, Jen wondered why he wasn't coming back.

"It seems nice to have someone back to let us know where you're going."

I wonder if I was so scared of the plague by then, and I come to one reason.

"... no way?

Jen frowned. Elsa, surprised by Jen, speculated as to why Jen was, and arrived at the reason.

"... Dj, Brother Jin!... If the destination is the moon... the moon... the moon... true... the sky..."

Jen nods silently.

"... oh. I thought about it, too. They didn't think there was any air in the destination at the time."

Saki and Stearena, who heard Jen's words, blued. They both understood science to such an extent that they knew what it meant.

"Dj... Jin, that's... all the people who transferred at the time..."

"Mr. Jin... if the destination of the transfer was a vacuum... then... that's what you're talking about, right?

Jen nods with a sad face.

"If the destination is the moon, though. I hope it's somewhere far away in this world."

"... but then one or two, you can come back, right?

"... Normally, I would care about the country where I was born and raised,"

"But not coming back means... is that what this is about, Jin?

Perhaps the people who transferred at the time lost their lives before they knew what was going on at the destination.

The messenger doesn't know that, and he doesn't have the knowledge to understand it.

"Is there anything else we should tell future generations?

Jen asked the question after a slight change of heart.

"'No, there isn't. I was made just to tell you more'"

"Right."

With a slight sinking feeling, Jens decided to go back to earth. Only Hannah doesn't really know, so I was wondering why Jens looked so dark.

As they all finished climbing the stairs, the hole in the floor closed again.

Jen silently went outside when he sealed the wall's starting demon stone again using engineering magic. Other members follow suit.

Outside, there was a blue sky that would not be the same as it used to be.
