Magi Craft Meister

Jen D and the others go underground in the 'Tower' again.

The elevator was already working normally, and the golems and willed puppets (live puppets) (automatic puppets (automata)) are starting to move around as usual.

"Lord Jin, I'm sorry for everything. I understood very well what Master Malika said. You're an engineer who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Origins.

Now it is time for Jonathan, the chief administrative magic brainchild, to acknowledge not only Malika, but Jen as well.

So Jens decided to have a little talk with 'Jonathan'.

Sometimes public conversations hide surprisingly important information, and these times are never wasted.

"But" Jonathan "is a very emotional head of magic."

"Mm, do you? I don't know for myself. '

"... 'Jonathan', you have always... used golems and willed puppets (live puppets) to maintain this city because you do not protect the lives of 'Originals'. I wonder if my emotions were polished in the process."

"Elder," Turreth D. also said. This is also the opinion of Tarless himself.

"That seems likely."

Jen D also agrees with Tarez D.

The emotional acquisition of the Magic Brain is significant, that is, according to the vast data accumulation of precedents and, likewise, repeated emulations (imitations).

Emulation (imitation) is particularly important.

While imitation is repeated, natural exposures are seen rather than imitations.

knowledge and experience, plus it was something Jen learned through practice.

Activate golem and willed puppets (live puppets) instead of missing residents. If I had continued that for 2500 years, it wouldn't be strange if only slightly, but what only sprouted emotions and accumulated.

So much so that "Origin" 's "Magic Brain Technology" was advanced.

"That being said...... is there any reason why the other three cities were built about the same as here?

'Course I do. It's an experiment, so the conditions are as good as possible. "

"Or so it is."

Jen also convinced me that it was necessary to do exactly the same thing because it was about humans, but to do the same thing as much as possible.

It seemed that it was not just rational ideas such as making it in line with the urban model.

"... including other cities, 'The Origins' have perished, but how was the squire race?

Malika D. asked a question. He still cared.

'Yes, Master Malika. After their' masters' disappeared, they pulled up information storage devices for their magical brains and puppets with the will to support their lives (live puppets), but in doing so they also gave them a choice. '

"Like what?

'Yes, it's a choice between staying in town like this or coming to me'

"So you chose to stay, huh?

"You're right."

"Was it..."

The squire races, who were in two of the three ruins of the doomed, wished to live there as it were, so they provided some assistance with necessities and left them intact.

After all, he seems to have chosen to remain on the basis of the Original Ancestors he was serving.

And in terms of numbers, I guess it wasn't the number of people who could continue as a race... and those who were listening in Penglai at the beginning of Jen were sorry.

"Didn't you follow up after that?

'Every 100 years I went to see how things were going. But over the years, it didn't really matter what happened, but the population went down.'

"Is that still the case..."

We do not know what the birth rate (special birth rate, the number of children a woman would have had in her lifetime) of the squire race at the time, but since the birth rate of the former squire race slightly exceeds 2 if she were in the 'Nord Federation' today, it is presumed that it would have been difficult to maintain the settlement if the original number had been small.

"1200 years ago, we lived normally, but when it was 1100 years ago, we were wiped out. Apparently the cause was the plague, so we blocked the vents, disinfected them and sealed them off '

"Is that what happened..."

'Then every 100 years we went to see how it went, and last time it was roughly ten years ago. I sanitized it just in case. "

I thought it would have been disinfected recently because it still smelled like coal, but it was still relatively recent from 4,000 years ago.

"Weren't the people of the squire not very skilled?

'Yes. It was a policy of education, and I didn't teach advanced technology. Also, because I don't have the magic talent, I wouldn't have been able to take advantage of it if I had taught you'

"Oh, that's the way you see it, too"

After all, Malika D and Jen D thought that when they chose to stay, the squire race seemed doomed to perish too.

But Tarless D,

"... Seems like you've been visiting other underground cities on a regular basis listening to previous explanations, but what do you think?

And I'm throwing another question at you.

"Oh, right. What do you think, Jonathan?

'Yes, Master Malika. We have the Transition Magic Formation.

"Oh, is that it, after all?... where to install it?

"Yes, it's the other floor down here."

"Was there such a place?"

"Yes, it's also a golem warehouse"

That's why Jen D and I decided to show it to you later.

"... and then there's another thing about the squire race"

"Yes, what is it"

"What was the beginning of the squire race like? After all, have you been abducted locally?

'No, you don't. At least those used by our' masters' somewhat assisted the indigenous people and recruited those who wanted to follow them after they could afford to live '.

Apparently, both Jen and Malika were a little relieved to hear in Penglai that they were brainwashing and serving after sorting out what seemed like they could use it alive, or something like that.

"And there's something I'm curious about."

"Lord Jin, anything?

"Yeah, uh, I wonder how many" Originals "there are in" Invasionists, "and what's wrong with each of them."

"Oh, that bothers me too. What do you think, Jonathan?

By asking Malika D the same thing right after Jen D or Tarless D's question, Jonathan handles it very well.

Malika herself doesn't seem to be doing it consciously, it's natural.

'Yes, Master Malika. I don't know what kind of information that comes from, but there's only one thing wrong.'

"What's that?

'Sure, there were thirteen of us when we moved to this Ars, but then there were nineteen of us at maximum'

"Oh, you had a child, didn't you?

'Exactly. Originally, when I emigrated, I came here with four weights.'

"Since the other two came to Ars?

"Yes."

This conversation with Jonathan, the chief administrative magician, keeps coming up with valuable information.

Especially the 'invaders' information was fresh.

"We know that there were thirteen people in the three 'underground ruins'. If you do, where are the six more? Right here?

The answer to that Malika question was unexpected.

'No, you don't. This is where we manage and control the information on the experimental cities, but the cities that we eventually decided six people would live in are further west. It should be close to the western edge of this continent.'

"Huh..."

Critical information was also brought about.

Six 'invaders'... probably the last six... apparently built a base in the west of the continent of Rachel.

(I swept the golem I was after Reiko a while ago... but that's when I discovered, 'The Golem with the Legs Cut'... it's more than likely the golem that belongs to that base that did it)

When he heard about it, Jen, who was in Penglai, wondered if the next subject of the investigation would be there.
