Magicraft Meister Part 1

"They were all underlings of the Unification Party (Unifiler)."

Gloria began to explain that she had obtained this information during the day when Jin (or rather Reiko) had interrogated those who had been neutralized. They had nothing to do with those who had caused the golem riot the day before.

"They had only received instructions to attack Alban after noon today," she said.

He goes on to explain that the instructions were rather lax, saying that if they got out of line, they could do as they pleased.

"We concluded that the purpose of the raid was to confuse them," he concludes.

He concludes.

"Whoever tried to kidnap Hannah must have been at least a little rational. He attacked Alban and didn't think he could escape safely. When I questioned him, he told me a lot of things."

I can't tell you all the details," says Gloria, although Jin knows more than that.

"I don't know how much Jin-dono knows, but as far as Hayama and Dove have informed me, the battlefield that was pushed to Tetrada ended when a mysterious force intervened. The Franzian army has retreated and we can call it a truce or a cease-fire."

Jin knows this too well. He is the one who did it.

"In summary, I can say that the situation in the small group of countries has calmed down. The postwar talks with the Kingdom of Franz are still to come.

Although Jin has some interest, he would prefer to leave the political issues to the other countries. However, there is one point that he cannot compromise on.

"Didn't the Kingdom of Klein draft soldiers?

In fact, it is Jin who knows that an order for conscription has been sent to the village of Kaina.

"Yes, I am sure that the nobles who own lands have been instructed to send out soldiers in proportion to the population.

Princess Rieschen answered. She is very well-informed for her age, which is a sign of her excellence.

"You are not going to rescind it?"

This is what Jin was most concerned about.

Gloria answered his question.

"I think it will be rescinded within a day or two. "I think it will be rescinded within a day or two, because by that time the knights who traveled to Tetrada will be back.

She said that the damage to the knights might not be canceled before the actual situation is known.

This does not mean that the war with the Kingdom of Franz is over, she concluded.

"I see."

Jin listened to her explanation and realized that he still had to take one more step.

That night, Jin and the others stayed in the same room as last night. The room was dimly lit by the light of the magic lamp.

Hannah started to stretch out, so we got ready for bed. However, she only changes into her nightgown.

This nightgown is one of the ones provided in the guest room. I can tell from its texture that it is made of silk.

Jin changed his clothes on the curtained bed, thinking about such trivial things as "where did silk come from? Just then.

"Hannah, will you sleep with me?

came Erza's voice.

When Jin heard her voice, he had an idea. He must have been shocked to be captured by the bandits during the daytime, even if it was only for a short time.

At the same time, he felt sorry for himself for not being more considerate. Then, Jin closes his eyes, thanking Erza.

The next day, after having breakfast, Jin went to the hotel.

The next day, after breakfast, Jin again goes to the royal workshop for a request,

"Mr. Reese, is it bad if I take Erza with me as my assistant?

Jin asked her, hoping for the best. But the princess readily gave her permission.

"Hey, princess, may I come too?

Hannah asked the princess. Again, the princess gave her permission immediately.

Then she asked again,

"Well, it's boring without Hannah and Erza. I'll go with you.

She said..,

"Princess!　I'll go with you then!

said Gloria, who was there. I'll leave aside for the moment whether it was for protection or out of curiosity.

So this time, a large group of us headed for the workshop.

There seemed to be some trouble, but with the vice-captain of the Kingsguard and the princess present, the guards could say nothing and everyone was able to enter the workshop.

"Oh!　This is the golem Jin is making!

"Wow, it's so cool!"

The princess is excited to see 20 skeletons. Hannah is also amused. Erza has seen the skeletons several times, so she has no obvious reaction.

And Gloria?

"Hmm, this is the structure of a golem.

She says, "Hmm, this is the structure of a golem, no, it's helpful. There is no one here to say to her, "Don't use it as a reference.

"I'm going to attach the muscles first.

Jin says and begins to work on the leather of the dragonfly eels (dragon eels).

"Elsa, watch carefully. The most important part of the separation of engineering magic is to know exactly how much of it is needed.

He explains this and separates the leather into the necessary quantities.

"We could cut it into pieces, but that would cut off some of the fibers and tissue, so it's better to use engineering magic here.

"Hm, Brother Jin?"

Jin's hands did not stop as he explained. One after another, the leather of the dragonhead eel (dragon eels) is divided into smaller pieces by separation.

Arm muscles, leg muscles, waist, shoulder and neck muscles. The size of the muscles in each part of the body varies slightly, but Jin has a template in his mind, so the work proceeds without hesitation.

Fifteen minutes until the muscles were ready. It was amazingly fast.

"Okay, I'm going to install this. Reiko, help me. Elsa can't do it yet, so watch her closely."

Yes, sir.

Yes, Brother Jin.

Reiko has assisted Jin many times already, and her skill level is well above that of any magecraftsman other than Jin.

The complicated and troublesome task of attaching magical muscles to twenty golems took only twenty minutes for Jin and Reiko.

"Ummm, it's somewhat creepy. ......"

"Is it?　Interesting, though."

Princess Rieschen is a bit taken aback, but Hannah, who has been watching them handle the mountain deer in the village, seems unconcerned.

"Now it's time to make the important magi device. I'm going to ask Erza to help me with this.

Saying this, Jin picked up the magi crystal and mithril.

He asked Elsa to make a mithril casing. Of course, it was to be used as a countermeasure against slave rewriting magic.

She makes a sample and has him make the same one. Jin, in the meantime, decides to build a mana tank, a mana driver, and a control core.

"Hmmm...beautiful magi crystals, all attributes..."

The princess muttered to herself as she looked at the Magi Crystal in Jin's hands. As expected, she seems to have a general knowledge of magi crystals.

"<>"

The Magi Crystal in Jin's hand emitted a pale light, and magical words appeared around it, then disappeared as if absorbed into the Magi Crystal in his hand.

"That's it!"

"Oh!　That's engineering magic. ......"

The princess seemed to like it, as it was one of the most spectacular engineering magic she had ever used. She watched intently as the Magi Formula was engraved into all of the prepared Magi Crystals.

The magi device for the voice is made of green, and the eyes are made of colorless magi crystals.

It took about 30 minutes to process a total of 120 magi crystals. Jin saved his time. If he really wanted to, he could do it more than three times faster.

"How about you, Elsa?

Jin calls out to Erza, who is transforming (forming) a mithril casing.

"I'm only three pieces away from being finished.

Erza, under Jin's tutelage, has already surpassed the standard, even if only in certain processes, but she is unaware of it. She had not seen her cousin Reinhardt's work much, so she had only Jin to compare her work with.

Jin helped him, and soon 20 enclosures were made.

"Okay, let's take this one: ......."

"Put it on the chest, right?"

Erza seems to be learning the procedure little by little.

Jin deliberately worked slowly to make it easier for Erza to remember, and then attached the magi device to her chest.

"Let's see..." he said. Mana tank, mana driver, and control core, right?

"Yes. Mana tank, you remembered that well.

Jin was mildly impressed that Erza could recognize the mana tank, since he did not often make golems with mana tanks.

"At Count Kuzma's place."

Yes, Lotte, the golem that I had made at Count Kuzma's place in Blueland, had been designed for a mana tank. Thinking back, Erza may have wanted to become a magecraftsman since then.

The control core is connected to the mithril wires, or magical nerves, by engineering magic, which are then connected to the limbs, head, and torso.

The control core and other parts of the body are filled with a sponge buffer made of goulashvam.

Eyes and speech apparatus are mounted on the head. The mouth is fixed. In other words, the mouth is fixed, and the facial expressions cannot be changed.

The process takes about two and a half hours.

The princess and Gloria are watching Jin's work with curious looks on their faces. Hannah sometimes looked at him with a wry look.

"Okay, let's install the exterior.

It was interesting to watch the roughly 60 kilograms of five-and-a-half nickel steel being stretched into a plate and then deformed into armor and attached to the golem.

Now even Hannah was staring at the scene without saying a word.

Reiko supports Jin's work by taking charge of separating the 5½ nickel steel into 60 kg chunks and roughly stretching them.

It takes three minutes to make one golem, and within an hour, twenty golems are completed.

"Oh, it's already done!

Jin said to the excited princess,

"Now I'd like to test the operation of the golems. Is there anyone who would like to be my partner?　Preferably a male soldier.

The princess nodded her head. The princess tilted her head and thought.

"You want a man?　Then I will call one of the knights of the Kingsguard.

The princess gave the order to Gloria and Gloria gave the order to the soldier, and a few minutes later a young knight arrived.

You wanted to see me, Your Highness?

Thank you, Rush. I wanted you to be my test partner today.

Partner?

So the princess introduces Jin and the others.

"This is Jin, the Magecraftsman. My father asked me to create a golem for him.

Jin.

This is Heinz Rasch.

Jin and Heinz shook hands.
