Magi Craft Meister
43-02 What Happened
"Huh!?
Come on, cheer up.
That's what Jen sounded like.
"Free Penglai."
Again, Zion slowly repeated his earlier words.
"Free Pennsylvania?
Jen recited to bite off Theon's words.
"Yes, it is."
"... what the hell is going on in Penglai?
"I'm going to explain that."
Theon sipped a cup of tea, took a break before starting to talk.
"Let's start with the status quo.... Penglai and all the others associated with it are 'sealed' or 'sealed'. Both 'Watcher' and Column 5 (Quinta)"
"What!? Why not?"
In amazement, Theon calmed down and said with his hand, Yo.
"Because I'm going to explain that.... It's a little hard to explain where to start, considering Jen's return to the original world."
"... means. If I could go back in time, you'd be asking me something then, wouldn't you?
……
"You're listening, aren't you?
"... Yep. But I don't think you should talk to Jin now."
There seems to be a complicated background, Jen observes. In addition, sometimes I don't really want to teach Jen, who plans to go back to the 'past' from the original era...... 'Now and Now,' or so.
"I know. If I knew... I wouldn't be forced to ask right now."
"That would help."
When it was time tangled, it was not easy, and Jen sighed small.
"So, hey. Four hundred years ago, Gin asked me to show you the way back." Free Penglai, "that's what Jin should do."
"Yeah."
"And for that, 'Find Laeko'"
"What? Reiko?... Penglai Island knows where it is, so what do you mean?
Jen will be surprised at Zion's answer to the question.
"Laeko has been missing for 150 years.... I was living with Jin's descendants at the time."
"Mine?
"Yep.... generations... long after my great-grandson"
That would be, Jen thought. One generation of people is 25 to 30 years.
Speaking of 150 years ago, 250 years after Jen's time, it will mean eight or nine generations later.
"You didn't live in Penglai?
"Yeah, 'cause that was a' sanctuary 'treatment over there"
"Holy place?"
"Yes. Magic engineer Magicraft Jazz."
"Hmmm...... so what are my descendants doing now? Just tell me where it's unusual."
When asked in detail, he was Jen, who had a feeling he was going to twist his destiny to avoid misfortune.
"Well... there hasn't been a single Magicraft Jazz engineer since Jin.... and now your descendants... are gone"
"Yes!?
You interrupted, and Jen was disappointed. And don't ask, I regret it.
But Theon hastily supplemented.
"Oh, 'not here' means discontinued, that doesn't mean. It's literally" gone. "
"What do you mean?
"One day, all of a sudden, it was gone."
……
Jen thought it might be an "inter-world transition" caused by "stacked contact" associated with the "spatial vibration" that he was attacked.
Or maybe for another reason.
There's nothing you can do about it right now. I care, but it is Jen who stops (or dares) to ask.
"... but from me back 400 years ago, are you listening?
"... it is. I don't think we should do this."
Jen agrees with that.
Theon told me to find Reiko, but I know where, in what condition, and how.
So I'm worried about how far to explain it to Jen.
"Back in my old days, I didn't explain that much to Theon..."
"... you know what?"
Jen blushed.
Even if Jen, who knows that information, went back to the old days and entrusted Theon with 400 years later, how far... in short, you didn't tell me if I could 'screw with the story'?
Or how do you mean you're going to be in this situation right now?
Jen doesn't even know that.
Jen regained her mind and decided to keep asking questions. I guess the point is that it only becomes.
"Well, I'll ask you a question, so answer whatever you can."
Jen chose to resolve the big question first.
"Yeah, let's do that first"
"Seal Penglai... Who caused that?
"" Golbert Marchitas, "a magician about 150 years ago."
"Who is that?
"You're the head of Magic Supremacist."
"What's a magical supremacist?
"They didn't rely on the science that was beginning to spread, they were dyed by the idea of turning the world by magic alone."
"... I see"
This revealed a little background to the situation.
"How could you seal Penglai with that?
"Yes, I'm worried about how to explain it there.... how Golbert Marchitas sniffed out the presence of Penglai is sooo good"
"Right."
I can't help it now, Jen flushes.
"Uh... looks like he was learning at Avalon originally. And after leaving Avalon, I started the Magic League a few years ago."
"" Magic League "? Is that the magical supremacist gathering you were saying?
"Half of it is. I guess I'll hit that predecessor."
"Hmmm......"
Jen conceived. I don't know that kind of thought comes up in itself. But I don't. Because there are all sorts of doctrinal claims and they should be.
"... that means Avalon taught science, right?
"Yes, of course. Originally, Jin, and then Old Man put together a curriculum."
Here Jen closed her eyes silently and summed up her thoughts.
"You mean the guy named Golbert Marchitas, after studying science at Avalon, decided he didn't need it"
"Yeah. and flipped the anti-flag"
"You don't know where it is. That there was something threatening Penglai? Penglai can't remember the threat because of most things.... unless you're a magician far beyond me."
"I think so, too. … I'll explain why in order."
"Yeah, please"
Jen nodded and urged Zion to go ahead.
"Next, then. Any leads on Reiko? What were you doing with Reiko in the first place?
