Magicraft Meister Part 1

Deneb 30, who had been watching the Great Shama Marsh where Lardus had disappeared, turned and ran to deliver the dagger to the old man as quickly as possible.

His destination is the village of Kaina. The village of Kaina, because it has a warp gate and Jin should be there now.

The current time is around 9:00 a.m. The distance to the village is 80 kilometers in a straight line.

The distance to the village of Kaina is about 80 kilometers in a straight line. The speed is a little slow because of the poor footholds along the marshland, but it should still take about two hours to reach the village.

However, my steps suddenly slowed down.

What?

I noticed that Deneb 30's left ankle was slightly damaged.

"It's the aftermath of <> or some such magic. ...... I thought I had enough time to avoid it."

It seems that the area of effect was wider than expected.

"......This is not a satisfactory way to run......"

Deneb30 had no choice but to contact the old man.

"The magic of this Lardus guy grazed me and damaged my left ankle," he said.

<

The old man assured him.

Deneb 30's location had been determined by the magi radar, so it would only take a little over two hours to meet up with the rescue golem, Land Y, and Z from the village of Kaina. The dagger is given to Land Y.

The dagger is given to Land Y. Land Y would return to the village of Kaina at full speed and deliver the Dagger to the old man using the warp gate there, while Land Z would carry Deneb 30 back to the village of Kaina.

All the necessary information has been given to the old man, but he does not know what is in store for him. Land Z and Deneb 30 set out for the village of Kaina in a hurry.

Meanwhile, the old man was still troubled by the words, .

So he contacted Deneb 29, who was supposed to be still in Rakham.

"I was just about to call you, sir."

A startling turn of events had occurred.

>

"Yes. He suffered from fatigue followed by a high fever and then severe pain all over his body. ......"

The old man knows that all the plans he had made to bully the Count have come to nothing. But don't let that discourage you.

<

With these words, the old man changed his mind.

Licia's poor health and Count Walter's death. It seemed that Lardus had something to do with both of them.

The old man then contacted Reiko.

After enjoying the morning bath at the hot spring, Jin had breakfast with Licia and Pascoe at Nido Castle. Elsa also joined them.

Elsa's table manners are textbook. Licia and Pascoe looked at her with admiration.

"Oh, Elsa, is that right, you are very elegant. ......"

Pascoe's face was slightly red. Licia, on the other hand, was frank in her admiration.

"Wow, Erza-san, you're so graceful. It would be acceptable to say that you are a daughter of a noble family.

It is not so much that it is acceptable as it is that she is a former daughter, but neither Jin nor Elsa say such a thing.

"...... because my father was a strict man."

Erza just mumbled something like that. Both of them seemed to sense something in her voice and stopped talking about the subject any further.

After breakfast, I showed them around the village of Kaina. Jin was on his golem horse, , and Elsa on hers, also .

Licia and Pascoe ride and , respectively.

"Wow, wow, is this ......?

"Wah, wah, wah!　I know how to do this!"

At first they were a bit intimidated by the controls, but after half an hour they got used to them and were able to make them walk without any problem.

So the four of us set off on a tour of the village of Kaina.

The starting point is Nido Castle. The starting point is Nido Castle, on the banks of the Erme River.

First, we go to the bank of the Erme River. The area has a good view of the river, with pools and rapids next to each other.

Magi stone can be found in that area a short distance away. It is a source of magical power for the stove and provides a good income for the village.

"Oh, you can get it here?"

Licia's house was also using two stoves supplied by the Raglan Trading Company, so she was familiar with the magic stone sand. Pascoe, on the other hand, did not seem to know about the stoves.

After the Erme River, we returned to the village of Caina. After the bridge, we walked gently up the road leading to the village and came to a simple wooden fence, inside of which was the official village of Caina.

Inside the fence, a wheat field can be seen on the left. Behind it was a coniferous forest.

The wheat field over there grows wheat," Jin explained.

Jin explains.

In the village, there are some areas that are left unused due to the poor soil, but the land is basically used for houses, fields, or storage of materials.

"Vegetable fields are basically for our own consumption."

Most of the vegetables grown are greens. This is because the time between sowing seeds and harvesting is short.

The four of them came to the front of Martha's house.

"This is the house where I've been staying. Licia, you know this house, don't you?

"Yes."

"We're expanding the original workshop and rebuilding the house. Well, I guess you could say this is my home. Elsa lives here.

A little further on is the village headman's house.

"As you know, this is the house of Mr. Giebeck, who, as my deputy, is practically in charge of the village."

Here Jin turned off the central street and headed east.

"This is the ...... barley silo, right?"

Licia, who came here last year as a tax collector, remembered it.

"Yes. But there's one more thing."

Jin pointed to a heap of snow.

"What is that?"

"It's called a snow room, simply put, it's a place where we dig a hole and store the snow that falls during the winter to preserve vegetables.

As I explained this, the snow chamber approached. The four of us parked the golem horses in front of the snow chamber and got off.

Jin gently opened the door of the snow chamber.

"If you open the door too wide, it will get too warm inside.

With these words, they went inside. Elsa, Licia, and Pascoe followed in that order. Jin put out a ball of light to illuminate their feet.

"It's really snowing. ...... It's a little cold, but this is amazing!"

Licia is amazed at the amount of snow in front of her and the meat and vegetables stored in the holes in the snow. Licia let out an exclamation.

"You know a lot of things, Jin-san. You know a lot of things, Jin-san, and you use them for the good of the village. I admire you so much."

Licia praised Jin, but Pascoe looked at her with a frustrated expression. It was then that Pascoe said to her.

"Father, there seems to be an emergency.

Reiko announced in a small voice.

"What?　What is it?

"Yes. It's about the ...... disease."

Since Licia and Pascoe were with her, Reiko tried to keep her explanation as vague as possible. But that was enough for Jin to understand.

"Okay. Licia, Mister Pascoe, I'm sorry, but I'd like to go back.

Pascoe looked at her as if he had no idea what was going on, but Licia nodded.

"Yes, if you say so Jin-san, something must have happened to you. Please leave us alone and hurry back.

"Thank you. Now, please come to my house in Martha's house that I just showed you. Elsa take care of the two of you.

Jin said quickly as he and Reiko left the snow room, and Jin jumped on the frame and headed for home. Reiko jumped in front of Jin.

Licia and Pascoe, still unfamiliar with the golem horses, were escorted back slowly by Elsa.

* * * *

"...... Count Walter is sick and dead!"

Jin hears the report through Reiko while riding.

Demon tribe. They are the irreconcilable enemy with whom human beings fought for their existence in the Magic War. But Lao Tzu says that is not important now. Jin urged him on as he ran the panel.

"A legacy?"

"What?

The worst possibility that Jin feared was about to come true.
