Magi Craft Meister

24-17 Underground facilities

On the same day Hannah and Jen were enjoying fishing, there was a little movement.

It's the Ellado mine that you were investigating carefully.

The shallow part of the El Rado mine is a normal mine, where iron, copper, tin, zinc, and lead, plus a small amount of adamantite, can be picked.

From a little deeper, gems, demonic stones, and demonic crystals (Magi crystals) were produced.

It was called the Ellado Mine because it can occasionally be picked from further depths.

"You're not pegmatite here, are you?"

Old man was gathering information on the formation as he slowly continued bowling in the 'Mini Mole'.

Pegmatite, also known as giant crystalline granite, is deep in the ground and the magma solidifies slowly cold. At that time, different minerals crystallize due to differences in melting point (coagulation point).

Inad mines and Penglai underground belong to the Pegmatite deposits.

Here the Errado mine was different, the 'Skull Deposit'.

Very briefly, high-heat, high-forming rock bodies such as granite, which have risen from underground, react chemically with rocks such as limestone and bitter limestone, and are deposits in which metallic elements in the rock are concentrated.

It was on March 4th that the 'Mini Mole' was put into the Errado mine here. This is because we found that the mysterious transfer gate (warp gate) in Dali's outhouse basement is connected to the basement here.

The shallow part was a known mine, and after obtaining such geological information as described above, the 'minimole' dived deeper into the ground.

"A thousand meters from the surface, the temperature is not higher than I thought,"

Due to the original high altitude, it would still be positive to go above sea level around here, but the old man was still surprised that the rise in geothermal temperature was slow.

Three 'mini moles', 10 cm in diameter and 30 cm in length, dig into each 600 metres a day.

And in the early morning of March 6, "Mini Mole 3" discovered an underground cavity.

The ultra-compact golem on board for times like this, named 'Command'. That number three, command three, came out of the mini mole and hit the investigation.

Because "Command" has the same performance as "Shinobi Squad," it is possible to gather information without having to be found even if there are humans.

And due to a report from Command 3, which took about an hour to investigate the cavity, the old man thought that the cavity was like a 'catacombe'.

This information was communicated to Jen as soon as possible the same morning.

The 'catacombe' was merely a cavity, so the 'mini mole' went further underground.

And the morning of March 9th.

"Is this a call from a mini mole? … Hmm, a mysterious junction in the ground, is it? That's exactly 'mystery'. Now, what do you do...... '

It's rare for you to think long. Even so, for a few seconds.

'Slow down your progress and dig in more carefully. The' commands' 1, 2 and 3 aboard, in case, dump the mini mole with the transfer device and escape. The mini mole will destroy itself. '

and gave the investigation the highest priority.

The mini mole, as instructed, slowed down to one-twentieth and dug in.

Along the way, I'm sending different data to Old Man.

One of them was something amazing.

"Ho ho, it looks like the free magic hormone (ether) concentration is rising."

Compared to the ground, free magic hormone (ether) concentrations were up 1.5 times. Not as good as the Devil's Territory, but close to free magic (ether) concentrations per Pazdext Grand Gorge.

'Is there a singularity, or is it due to a mysterious junction, or is there some other reason? In any case, you have become more and more necessary to examine'

And even more, the mini mole digs into the basement. The depth was about to go as far as 3,000 meters underground.

and the mini mole 2 detects by 'acoustic exploration (sonar)' that there is a space a few centimeters away.

At the same time, I decided to report to you and ask for instructions.

"Hmm, once again, is it a cavity? It's also inside the mysterious junction. '

At last, it seems to be the heart of the mystery, Old Man thought. The reaction of the 'marker' sent secretly from the transfer gate (warp gate) in Dali, the city of the Kingdom of Celluloa, is also nearby.

Unfortunately for his inability to go, Old Man gave the following instructions.

Proceed with greater caution.

And three centimeters further, he hit the metal wall, not the rock.

'Metal... it's obviously artificial. artificial space underground, is it'

The mystery deepened. In order to solve this mystery, we have to try to go to the metal wall, the other side of it.

"No matter how small the mini mole is, it has a diameter of 10 cm and a length of 30 cm. You can't be invisible. '

If this were the case, the mini mole should have been equipped with 'Invisibility (Invisibility)' as well, Old Man thought.

With the built-in transfer device, it is possible to return it to Penglai via 'Shinkai', but it takes quite a while to get back to the same place again.

It's impossible to send them out on a transporter. Even though it is controlled by you, the accuracy in millimeters could not be given, so it could not be sent to the same location with the same dimensions.

"I guess we'll just have to keep going."

Because we are digging in with the transfer method, the best strength is that rock chips and the like do not fall.

However, if the hole remained, the intrusion would be distracted, so only the metal part was machined into a lid and decided to be inserted again.

The "Command" golem, created to allow you to repair and maintain mini moles, can be used for that degree of engineering magic.

And finally, Mini Mole 2 entered the cavity, across the metal wall. At the same time, use the force field generator Force Generator to prevent falling. Immediately the hole was covered with a lid.

The mini mole also has a Magic Eye (Magic Eye) that allows you to watch footage in the cavity while you are there.

"This is..."

It was a beautifully researched indoor. I have a sense of vision.

You look a lot like "The Sky Ship."

The base of Negative Dolls (Negative Dolls) was once infiltrated by Lao Zi, your mobile device in Demonic territory.

Old man was sure as he watched the footage sent from the mini mole's Magic Eye.

There is no shadow. It was not well coordinated and felt like an empty room. But the atmosphere it conveys is indisputable.

"This must be the land of the 'Origins' fringe, just like there."

Old man decided that it should at least have some sort of relationship.

"Place markers on nearby floors and return immediately."

If it had something to do with "Original Ancestors," its technical skills could outweigh Penglai. Old man ordered an immediate retreat.

However, it was decided to install only the marker so that it could be visited later.

As directed, command 2, which was on board, found a slight gap in some of the metal floors as it descended from the mini mole 2 and installed a small marker.

And hurried back to Mini Mole 2. Because I heard footsteps.

A shadow appeared indoors just before Command 2 disappeared on an emergency transfer device aboard Mini Mole 2.

"That's..."

It was 0 commas seconds of instant time to capture the shadow, but it was enough for you, old man.

Returning to "Shinkai," Mini Mole 2 then returned to Penglai Island at the Transition Gate (Warp Gate).

"Thank you, Command 2"

With that voice, Old Man was thinking about the shadow you confirmed.

'That must be... definitely a kind of 700672...'

The 700672 is a squire created by the Original Ancestors (Origins) who have migrated from Planet Hale to this Ars aboard the "Sky Ship". Its identity is' man-made man (homunculus) '.

Man-made organisms with synthesized organic matter flesh and given pseudo life. Although that knowledge does not extend one step to the Origin, there is an extraordinary difference from humanity living in this world.

Clearly, it was considered more than Jen.

"But I was somewhat uncomfortable with the appearance because the model number is different..."

All this is too little basic information to judge. So Old Man decided to approach it again from a different angle.

Use the marker to send in the Shinobi Squad. It is not a 'command', according to its classification of aptitude.

"Command" is technically brilliant, and "Shinobi" is superior to covert behavior.

"But at 3,000 meters underground, you don't mind with the built-in emergency transfer device."

It has a built-in transferring device for short distances for when they are discovered or captured, but the distance is too short for about 50 meters because markers need to be placed where the behavior is based.

"It's dangerous not to let them travel long enough to get back on the ground, at least."

So Lao decided to finally report to Jen and turn to him for judgment and technical assistance.

"Yeah, I see"

That same night, after Hannah slept, Jen was back in Penglai. Elsa is also a village of Kaina. Right now, the only person I'm with is Reiko.

"Is it an underground facility... Do you know No. 700672?

Jen thinks you can go ask later. More than that, it is now a request from the old man.

"Hmm, even if we extend the distance traveled at that size,"

It's a mini size five centimeters tall, so it has its limits.

"Master (My Lord), can I use this?

What you showed Jen was a shard of Elladolite. Found in the process of digging in, even the bigger ones are less than 4mm.

but was sufficient to be used for the 'Shinobi Squad'. If amplified with Elladolite, it is 20 times the standard and up to roughly 30 times, because using two means it is easier to transfer 3000 meters.

Thus, two Shinobi, Shinobi and Shinobi, equipped with Elladolite, were to be sent to underground facilities by means of transporters.
