Magi Craft Meister

72-47 Temporary bases

Further down the hierarchy, Jen D and "Celluus".

Once again, about 20 meters down the stairs, passing through two small rooms like airlocks.

The concentration of free magic (ether) seems to be kept constant.

When Jen D said so, "Cellus" also responded.

"Of course. It's the hub of my base."

"... do you know about changes in the concentration of free magic (ether) outside?

"Of course, 746 years ago, there was a dramatic drop in the concentration of free magic (ether) on the ground, but it was still stable in this base."

That's amazing.

746 years ago was the year of the end of the Magic War. In other words, it was the year when "Magic Run" "Ether Stampede" happened.

The number of fragile magic machines (Magi Machines) was so low that it was no wonder they stopped, but it seems that this underground base was operational.

What is the significance of this base?

"What?"

"What does it exist for?"

"... that's an interesting question, right?

Really?

It is you who are piloting Ren D now on behalf of Ren.

The old man chose "significance of existence" as an abstract and essential question.

A runaway magic brain has a high chance of confusion.

"The significance of existence... hmm..."

"Celluus" seems to be thinking about it.

…………………………

"'Celluus'?

…………………………

"What's wrong?

…………………………

I haven't heard back. Rather than confusion, it seems to have entered an infinite loop of thought.

The old man piloting Jin D was convinced that he was still running away. [M]

If you're not running wild, "What's the point of the base? The answer to the magic brain has been decided. 'For my husband' or something like that.

If the old man asks himself "the significance of existence", he will answer "to serve the master (My Lord)" without interruption.

That doesn't mean...

(You don't have "master", that is, "ancestor (origin)" anymore, do you? And don't you want to admit it, or has it been discarded?)

If the latter were the case, the magic brain here might be in a pretty bad state, and the old man piloting Jin D imagined it.

In Penglai, you asked Jin a question. [M]

In the first place, I've never seen the magic brain enter the infinite loop, so even you couldn't decide the best way to deal with this kind of situation.

Master (My Lord), what should I do in this situation?

"Hmm... I've never seen anything like this before. The Original thought sequence is unique."

I think so.

"This is not limited, but it is dangerous to fall into an infinite loop, so it is normal to set a maximum number of loops or a time limit in normal thinking."

This is the case with the Adriana formula.

In addition, complex thinking that does not set an upper limit is carried out by subunits, so the main unit can monitor it so that it does not fall into non-response.

"Master (My Lord), what is the best way to manage" Celluus "?

"Well... I'm not sure what sequence the Originals built..."

Jen tells you after a while. [M]

"It's more important than the problem we're working on...."

What will you do about it, Jen?

But the old man gave an immediate answer on the execution side. [M]

Give instructions to Hope on the ground to detonate the Magic Bomb (Manabom) round 1 in the air.

I see. It's shock therapy.

Speaking of humans, it's like banging on the cheek of a confused and disturbed opponent and returning to sanity.

"All right, let's do it now."

Got it.

With Jen's permission, the old man immediately gave instructions, and Hope fired the first round of the Magic Bomb from Pegasus 2 upwards.

Of course, in order to detonate in the air, a timed trussed object is.

The site was in the middle of the night, and the "Magic Bomb (Manabom)" No. 1 exploded in the dark sky.

Bullet 1 is weak and non-lethal even when used against people. However, the burst sound is loud.

"Yeah? What about the explosion?

"Unknown. Did Oeste Base do something else?

As expected, I noticed the faces of "Jonal Base", including "1", and began to wonder.

Marica D and Tarres D know who they are, so don't panic.

But it's not the stage to tell yet, and I was shutting my mouth.

I chose to remain silent rather than lie.

"... what will you do, Marika?

"1" asked Malika D about her future policy.

"That's right... it wouldn't be a good idea to wait for nothing. Let's set up a Transfer Magic Squad nearby and return for a while."

Okay, let's do it.

"1" nodded immediately to a proposal from Malika D.

"No, wait, Lord One."

Tarless D waits.

"Dear Marika, I know that's all right, but if anything happens, I think we should keep an eye on him."

"Ah, yes. Tarres is right, '1', leave the watch."

"Okay, I'll leave two and three, and I'll get back to you as soon as I hear anything."

That's why we just started setting up the Transfer Magic Squad.

First of all, from the selection of the location.

"I don't know how far the Oeste base area is, but I was wondering if it should be about a kilometer east of where I talked to Celluus."

"That's right... if that's the case, you'll be able to rush as soon as anything happens, okay? '1', please."

"I understand."

Tarless D and Malika D consulted to determine the final policy.

This is because it will not be a consultation with the "1" counterpart (we will affirm all of Malika D's suggestions).

About a kilometer east, there was just the right rocky mountain.

On the north side, there was a rock shelf (terrace), which was suitable for engraving a transfer magic formation.

The dispatched Tech Golem engraves a magical formation there. The size was such that three Golems could ride at the same time.

That's all right.

"Thank you. Could you at the same time create a simple base under this rock shelf (terrace)?

"It's possible. Do you want to make it?

"Yeah, sure."

"I understand."

Again, at the instruction of "1" (= Jonathan), the technology-based golem began processing.

Processing as a "temporary base" is finished in two hours.

They caved the rocky mountain, and made a room inside.

It is equipped with a table and chairs made of rock as a temporary arrangement.

The entrance and exit doors are disguised as rocks and are a bit unknown to the eyes.

"Thank you. Let's get back to it."

Preparing these backups, Malika D and the others returned to "Jonal Station."

All that remained were "2" and "3", and three technical golems as maintenance personnel for the base.

Among them, "2" and "3" returned to the place where they met "Celluus".

And the standby starts...
