"This is the identity of 'ancient magic'. No... it's still in the experimental phase. Metius worked so hard to analyze it."

"It's a pleasure to help you, sage Grecas."

"Thank you for your precious magic partner."

When I sat Fairy Metius in the palm of my hand to convey my gratitude, the brilliance of the transparent feathers increased even further.

"Chi, kind of jealous."

I'll rub Lentomia's cheek with a mummy, pointy lip.

"Don't say that. Lentomia has something to do with" sticky magic. "

"Well... so is that."

The magic inspired by me and Metius did produce a "copy" of the book.

This becomes the basic form of 'ancient magic'.

The appearance is not of different shapes or colors, and although it is called a mirror image, it has a mass and can be touched and lifted by hand.

Lentomia took the replicated book and tried to open the page. Read the words written there and be surprised again.

"Wow, you're completely copied to the contents! What the hell... what principles?

Look at me and Metius alternately the way Lentomia said intrigued. Now it's our turn to explain our magic.

"Briefly explaining the principle, we first turn the magic yarn (Magiwire) into a grain of about a thousandth of a millimerte to create a 'template' of the smallest units of the material that make up the object"

"'Template' ……. You mean the mold frame?

"Yes. This is the first point. You should imagine soft clay. Now take the object type (...)"

In fact, the analysis of "pseudomaterials" recovered from the snakes and monkeys of "The Garden Numbers" finished Metius within the day we got the samples. It was quickly discovered that the identity of the substances that made up their bodies were objects that rounded up magic threads (magiwires) and mimicked matter….

But the question was, how could you make it exactly in bulk......

I haunted myself for a few days but found the answer from the magical traces of the crime scene. That was the way to make molecular-level copies by using very small "templates".

"Hmmm......!

"This' template ', in other words, works as a' reverse transcription 'magic thread (Magiwire)."

It seems that the performance of this magic "Template" depends on the ability of the operator, etc. In other words, the quality of the object being copied is affected.

"Next, produce a fine 'pseudo substance' round a magic yarn (Magiwire) and see it in the composition. Fill it in the" template "that you just created."

"Well, so it was the white mist that came out of the replica."

"Yes. Reconstitute it as an object and it will be complete. All the operator has to do is give the order to 'reconstitute'. It's almost automatically reconstituted according to the information that the substance originally possesses that makes up the form."

"Wow......!

In other words, it is similar to pouring molten metal into a template to make a cast.

That's why the monkeys of "The Garden Numbers" were able to produce dozens at the same time. Probably mass produced monkeys by stockpiling large quantities of 'pseudomaterials' beforehand.

"But it's going to be a tremendous magic ceremony length. Is the language ancient Ephtalian? The number of characters is...... 10,000 units?

"Ha, that's sharp. Lentomia's about 30,000 characters."

"So much!? It's not magic to be aggressive on the battlefield... Except that Grey can use" Autonomous Driving Ceremony (Acrypt) "..."

Lentomia, who closed the book and put it back on her desk, turns to me.

"Right. I guess" The Garden Numbers "are usually using some kind of hand to generate this" template "and" pseudomaterial "and keep it somewhere."

"This is a totally hectic ritualistic magic. If you don't make magic circles on the ground, you'll never make it."

Lentomia thinks about it in arms.

"For example, a park, a pond... it would be easy to plant in a place like that."

"Once you make it, it won't go away?

"The foggy 'pseudo substance' doesn't seem to disappear for more than a few days, but... I'm not sure"

While I was talking to Lentomia, I also somehow saw the magical karaki of "The Garden Numbers".

The manipulator himself issued a command a little further away, generating and moving objects - in their case snakes and monkeys.

"But... what about that Duke of Norard?

"The basic principles should be the same, although not necessarily the Duke of Automatéria Norard uses the exact same thing. And... the person who was wandering around the country (Nouad) himself was a copied mirror image... and I'm convinced of a lot of strange behavior."

"I just thought you were impotent. It wouldn't be weird to be killed at the time you did something weird in the Royal Palace."

"Must be."

But once we know the composition of principles and magic, we can also come up with the means to fight the magic of a mysterious duke.

- Reverse osmosis (virus) autonomous driving formula (appct), which inhibits (...) 'reverse transcription (reversi) magic yarn (magiwire)'.

If we develop and assemble it, we will also be able to fight 'ancient magic'. Alternatively, it should also be possible to fight in such a way as to take control…

Lentomia yawns as she cares about her bouncing forehead. Are you getting tired or hungry? Speaking of which, I'm hungry.

"It felt strange because it wasn't the Duke of Norard himself"

Lentomia is right, when confronted with the Duke of Automatéria Norard, he felt a human detachment from his expression, but if he became an advanced 'puppet', he would also go to the point.

Above all, it's crazier to take suspicious men into enemy capitals and think they'll be safe. But you don't have to fear anything if it's a substitute.

In the end, it reverts to the Duke of Automateria Norard, who is unidentified (...), but then "your son" becomes suspicious as well.

In the first place, it is somewhat impossible to assume that the puppet was being manipulated from the countries of the Australian Patriarchate, which were also five hundred kilomertes away.

Magic yarn (Magiwire) can be connected within a few kilomertes at most. Crystal sphere communication can be relayed in hundreds of kilomertes, but in order to send images and audio to remote locations, a magic relay using crystals will be required.

If so, it is also possible that the "son" who said "waiting in the carriage outside the castle" was the main body...... Well, there, now, you won't know if you pursue it.

"I thought it was weird. Turn the guard's sword into a snake or turn into a dragon and fly away."

"The guard's sword is a trick. They found the soldier's sword later in the armory."

"I mean... made of 'pseudo-matter', it was being replaced by a fake sword?

"Probably. Did you even use perceived agitation magic..."

So, guh, and I got hungry.

"Ah! You're hungry when I think about it"

Lentomia grabs my arm.

"Well, it's time for dinner, shall we?"

"Magic rigging, it was so much fun."

Fairy Metius dances with a fine smile on his face.

"Sometimes, I like these study groups"

"That's right."

I left the lab with Lentomia and Metius. Outside the window the sun was completely down and the hallway of the Sage's Hall was starting to smell like a really delicious dinner.

- Come on, what's for the treat tonight?

I felt my legs rushing to the living room dining room naturally sooner.
