Magi Craft Meister
16-01 Karst
The northern lands, the Gondor continent where the demons live.
The continent of Lauren, inhabited by mankind, is separated by the sea and connected only by a narrow isthmus called the Great Isthmus of Pazdext.
The sea is inhabited by fierce sea dragons (sea dragons) and other demons, making navigation on ships and so forth extremely difficult.
It was therefore inevitable that this great Isthmus of Pazdext would be used for the round trip between Gondor and Lauren.
Now Jen (substitute doll for (double)), Reiko, Ann, and Rand 1. And Istaris of the Devil Nation, Zion. Netros and Lucas, his squire and escort.
Eight of the above were about to take Jen's fabricated four-legged groundcar, Capricorn 1, north on the Grand Gorge.
"Nothing seems to strike but the Rock Titans."
The Stone Golem, the Rock Giant, that the family of "Play (Cancer)" manipulates. And it came to pass, ten bodies, waiting for Jens. It was natural to assume that there were still traps.
But Falcons 2 and 3, which are hitting alert over the sky, have been reporting no more hostile reactions, at least on the Lauren continental side.
The family of 'Play (Good Luck)' didn't seem to be here.
"The great isthmus is about five kilometers wide in a narrow area. If I were to put up a trap, I'd be there."
"Yeah, I think Theon's got an idea,"
Theon and Istaris are in agreement. Jen agrees with the idea.
"Then the passage of the isthmus should be daytime"
It is a suggestion from Ann, an automatic doll with blue hair (Automata).
"This one should be out of place. Then you should pass in the daytime with a good view."
Put that opinion in, and on the side of the Lauren continent the line decided to reveal the night. For the first time since leaving Nido Castle, Capricorn 1 had a prolonged shutdown.
"All right, I'll check every part."
That said, the substitute doll (double) does not possess as much magic engineering skills as Jen himself. Therefore, Reiko will support it.
"Legs, no abnormalities"
"Power section, no drain"
As a matter of fact, it is the old man who is giving the doll (double) operating instructions instead now.
Because Jen can't stick to the cockpit at 46: 00.
And Jen was now in the mood for a summer festival in the village of Kaina.
"Your husband (My Road) technology is great. Due to the durability raised to the extreme, we do not see any wear and tear. '
Jen is sometimes accidental, but when it comes to producing things, it is a thorough perfectionism. I didn't see anything wrong with Capricorn 1.
"So here we are, camping."
Nevertheless, capricorn 1 is highly habitable. It even has a simple shower room.
Theon and Istaris took a shower. Jen (the substitute doll (double)) pretended to bathe, as did Netros and Lucas.
"I knew it would refresh your body."
"Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better now, thanks to you."
Istalis seems to be doing well too, as the concentration of free magic hormone (ether) in the air has increased northwards.
Using the standard concentration at the latitude (northern regression line) of Penglai as 1, the free magic (ether) concentration around here is about 1.7. If we go to the land of the Demons, we think it will be about 2 to 2.5.
Of course, Penglai is unique, so there are about three of them.
Capricorn 1 is moving forward while also collecting the data that I said so.
The morning of August 14th came.
The day was also breakfast with portable meals such as dried bread, dried fruit and instant soup.
"It doesn't taste bad, but I'm getting tired of it."
"Theon, you mustn't speak of luxury. It's about time we ran out of food in there."
"Yes, I'm sorry"
Sion, who honestly mouthed what I thought, was embarrassed by my sister.
With the provided transfer gate (warp gate), you can also carry freshly prepared meals, but Jen wasn't going to do so much.
"Well, then I'm leaving. Rand 1, Tam."
"Capricorn one, we're leaving."
Capricorn 1 moving slowly. Those four legs tread firmly on the earth and go on to the earth unknown to Jens.
In the beginning, it was a land of young hay and shrubs, but gradually grey.
"... you've changed the quality of the rock?
Jen groans.
"Yes, presumably limestone"
Limestone is said to be a rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate, which is made of deposits of coral, equine, porous worms, shellfish, etc.
It is relatively difficult to weather and often creates peculiar terrain.
"... karst terrain"
Jen shrugged Karst terrain is a terrain in which the earth made of limestone was eroded by rainwater, surface water, groundwater, etc. Bell cavities can often be found underground.
Akiyoshidai in Yamaguchi Prefecture is famous in Japan.
The row continued northward for about two hours, enjoying the terrain dotted with odd rocks.
"Master, there's something coming from the basement"
At a point such as ten kilometers to the narrowest point of the Grand Gorge, I noticed that there was something approaching Land 1.
"According to the Magi Director, there are about 30 of them."
"Capricorn one, stop. Barrier junction (barrier) deployment. Paralyzer, Magic Cannon, Laser Cannon Prep"
Copy that.
At that time, a demon appeared from the rift of the earth.
"That one! Underground Crawling Worm!?"
It was the old man who was now piloting the doll (double) instead. Old man told Jen, who works in the laboratory.
"Okay, I'm coming"
Until Jen rushes over, you will be the old man, and if Jen gets to the cockpit, he will hand over control to Jen and be thorough in his role as assistant.
"That's..."
"According to what Mr. Theon said," Underground Crawling Worm. "
They live in the ground with omnivores and are basically quiet, but are often used for stopping, etc. because they are easily enslaved, he told them the information he heard while Jen was away.
"... is that the family of the 'puppet'?
"Yes, probably."
"If I knew where that guy was, could I be powerless?
'It's possible, but now you won't make it'
The Magic Screen (Magic Screen) showed an underground crawling bug (Grandworm) bouncing back into the barrier junction (barrier) of Capricorn 1.
"You have no choice. Let's try the paralyzer first."
First, disable the underground crawling bug.
Copy that.
Instructions of Jen given through the mouth of a doll (double) instead. Land 1 left the lower barrier junction (barrier) intact and lifted the barrier junction (barrier) covering the top.
Barrier junction (barrier) that can be deployed in upward and downward divisions. It is a groundbreaking feature.
"Paralysis gun (paralyzer), maximum output"
Capricorn 1's large-calibre paralysis gun (paralyzer) was powerless by bringing together three underground crawling worms (grandworms).
"All right, it works for the Underground Crawling Worm."
Paralysis guns (paralyzers) that, in principle, work on the nervous system, have no effect on too inferior organisms; they have had sufficient effect on underground crawling worms (grandworms).
As it was, the paralysis gun (paralyzer) fired to wipe out the perimeter quickly rendered thirty underground crawlers (grandworms) powerless.
"Shh, it's amazing"
"This is Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz…"
Theon and Istaris looked out with faces like, open mouths can't be blocked.
"All right, look for the operator."
Copy that.
Check the magic detector. The immobile light point would be a powerless underground crawling bug (Grandworm).
There was one point in that, a light point that traveled a little bit.
"Perhaps this is the operator"
"I'm coming out."
Reiko, carrying peach blossoms, stood up.
