68-37 The Danger of Larva

Old Zi's interaction with 'Larva' in a facility west of the Pandora continent has changed its appearance considerably compared to when it began.

"... So there's no difference in having your husband (My Road) build a body for Lord Marchitas?

said Lao Zi. Its opponent, 'Larva', nodded slowly.

"Mm-hmm. I have some thoughts, but I'm going to use my strength at this point."

"Okay. I'll tell your husband (My Road) as soon as I get back to base."

Nor does Lao Zi call Jen "Master (My Lord)" anymore.

"Well, now one of my concerns has disappeared. And then I'd like to move on to another matter?

"Um, I never mind continuing the conversation, but what's it about?

The acknowledgment of Jen as a collaborator, even temporarily, has also slightly improved the attitude of 'Larva'.

Laoko started the second round of questioning here.

"I'd like to ask you about the New Magic League (Neo Magias)."

"Larva" nodded lightly.

"I see, that or"

Lao Zi continues his words.

"I think it's quite far from Lord Larva's purpose."

"I guess that is. Even I think," What are you doing? "

"What do they say?

Towards the old boy who inquired, 'Larva' laughed... looking like.

"It's just a delusion among those five, such as The New Magic Coalition (Neo Magias)"

"Ho?

"As I said earlier, those five are prototypes and are just passing points to make the 'look' that Master Marchitas deserves"

"Larva" himself seemed to care about the idea of the New Magic Coalition (Neo Magias).

"In the first place, their ideas are contradictory, and I don't think they can be realized. Well, that's not so bad as lunatic bullshit."

"That's pretty tough. It must have been made by Lord Larva."

"That's right, but it was only a prototype, and we were only together to see how it was done.... Perhaps now every ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean?

"Well, yes."

Lao Zi nodded vaguely (ambiguously).

"Can you tell me what those five qualities are?

"Um, it's not a problem now. They called themselves The Five."

"Five people?

"That's right. I was in a position like Marchitas' side, but I wasn't superior to anything special, I just happened to leave the five of us around appropriately for chores."

'Larva' said it began to grow at some point and it behaved great.

"Master Marchitas created an" Information Crystal "for those five people as an experimental bench for" Knowledge Transfer (Transinfo), "but apparently didn't use it, and when I restarted it, it was left in the same facility."

"Larva," which I thought was just right for experimentation, copied it and used it for Golem's "Control Nucleus (Control Core)."

"But it's hard to create a" control core. "I can't believe how cluttered my thoughts are"

'Larva' said unfortunately.

Here, Laoko thought of disclosing a little bit of information to increase the trust from "Larva" a little.

"I see you didn't officially learn engineering magic. Then I can't do it..."

A deliberately wordless old boy, as' Larva 'draws interest.

"Hmm? What does that mean?

And as intended, 'Larva' has asked back.

I will answer these questions from "Larva," and the old son brought them to me.

"I'm not that familiar with engineering magic, either, but" Magic Crystal "that makes it" Control Core "seems as pure as possible, right?

You didn't know that.

Indeed, the "Demonic Crystal (Magi Crystal)" I used for those five "people" was a second-degree product, "Larva" said.

"Hmm, sure, Lao Zi... the fact that His Highness knows such a thing means that the strength of the existence of Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz can be deduced,"

The line showed some remorse. Was it because Marchitas, his producer, was hostile to the earlier generation of Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz, or because he was ashamed of his immaturity?

"How did you end up owning the fleet by calling it the New Magic League (Neo Magias)?

"That fleet was built with reference to what was in that facility over there."

There's a fact that I can't miss hearing.

"Was it from the beginning?

"That's right. Probably the one who built the facility… I think it was made by the 'Originals'"

……

As an old son, I thought that the golem of his subordinate, rather than the 'Origin', would be, but that had nothing to do with the current conversation, so I decided to keep quiet. Or I think I can teach it at an effective time.

"Nevertheless, didn't you have to build six ships?

"No. What I made was three ships here. I thought Master Marchitas would be delighted. The other three were there from the beginning."

New facts have emerged again.

but old man asked the question to prompt ahead.

"I would have used a lot of material."

"Sure. But fortunately, deep in the basement, there was plenty of metal to sleep in."

"Still, wasn't it a waste?

But 'Larva' shook his head to the side.

"No. I didn't think it was possible for them 5 'people', but in case, or a hundred million, they were able to occupy a proper country somewhere, that's fine. I thought if it scattered in the process, it could be recovered as a material, as a resource."

The three ships were sunk by Deus Ex Machina, but "Larva" tied.

"I see, those five 'people' were puppets everywhere."

"That's what I'm talking about"

Again, the ability to draw up and act on this' Larva 'is not insulting, Lao Zi felt.

(However, it was saved that the knowledge and technical backing was slightly sweet)

If 'Larva' had valued the support of those five 'people' rather than the resurrection of Marchitas, the situation would have been more complicated and worse, Laoko thought.

(It's easy to stop, but is that the best choice?)

Lao Zi, no, the old man you're piloting, also guessed that 'Larva' still had some secrets to hide.

(It's possible that you won't even know if you try to stop and find out.)

If Marchitas had also used the sub (sub) free magic (ether) waves derived from the Psycholife to create the controlled nucleus (control core) of Larva.

Whether that is what it was intended to be or not, it will likewise require 'sub (sub) free magic (ether) waves' to elicit that part of the information.

"Spiritual Life Form" was the existence of another universe, and he used more "sub (sub) free magic (ether) waves" than even Jen could.

If it had been used on one scale, Lao Zi did not want to inadvertently stop and analyze "Larva".

"Perhaps the 'reboot' also stemmed from around it"

and the old man made a hypothesis.

This is the time when 'Larva' woke up, but when the mental life form separated from Marchitas, is it not conceivable?

Jen is surprised by the hypothesis.

"What!?... um, I can't deny or affirm... but as a possibility...?

During the "spatial vibration" incident, there was contact with another universe, a fragment of a mental life form that happened to be left behind in this world.

That, too, happened to possess Marchitas with the right wavelength. He suffered at one time, and at another time he fueled flashes and coexisted.

And ultimately, it was activated by Jen's magic powers with magic properties, including 'sub (sub) free magic (ether) waves', and separated from Marchitas.

However, Jen immediately accepts the theory and performs it.

"In doing so, it may have produced something like a shock wave of" sub (sub) free magic (ether) waves. "

"Yes, my lord (My Lord), the idea that the suspended 'Larva' awakened is not so abrupt"

"Right. … If you do so, it is not a good idea so far to stop and investigate"

"I think so."

"Hmm, but 'Larva' is pretty dangerous, huh?

"Yes, your husband (My Lord). You certainly don't insult me."

It's unlikely we can keep rounding up and pulling into our allies.

If you revive Marchitus as an 'automatic doll (automata)', you can't predict what that Marchitus will do.

It was quite a troubling choice for you and Jen now.
