Magicraft Meister Part 1

The days of intermingling thoughts, feelings, actions, and incidents finally came to an end.

"You mean manipulating gravity?"

Jin was analyzing the magic that <> had used against the old man and Reiko at the research institute in Horai Island.

Reiko can memorize normal magic at once, but it seems that this time it was not so. It seems that the method of activation is different.

"I guess so.

Magic is not something that can be used only by chanting.

Chanting as a form of speech is merely a support for imagery.

However, it was difficult for Reiko to visualize the important phenomenon of gravity.

And since she did not know everything about the phenomenon of gravity, Reiko was having a hard time to analyze it.

Anyway, Mr. Rei, you know what I know about gravity. Please analyze the gravity magic, even if it takes a long time.

If you can master the magic of gravity, you will be in a better position to deal with any conflicts with the demons that may occur in the future. And if we can apply it: .......

Jin thought of the word <> and pondered over the possibilities.

"Now all we have to do is ......."

It has not been decided that the singularity mentioned by the demons is the island of Horai, but there is no better time to be vigilant.

<

"Yes, it may be true that they have no intention to invade, but we must remain vigilant. ...... And we don't know the range of that gravity spell. If that thing hits an aircraft, it will crash and Lando and the others won't be able to move.

The old man instructed the golems that they must take backup personnel with them for any future activities, including reconnaissance, and that if they sense an attack, they must respond with maximum firepower without hesitation.

No one knows yet if such a day will come when Horai Island and the demon tribe will face off.

The leaders of the Kingdom of Klein were worried about how to deal with Count Walther's territory.

Pascoe Rush and the 4th Knights, to which he belongs, rushed to Lakham upon hearing the news from Lycia, and together with the steward who was a close associate of Count Walter, seized a number of evidence of the crime and returned to the capital city of Alban.

The testimonies and evidence were enough to strip Count Walter of his position. Since he had no wife, heir, or relatives, the immediate problem was what to do with the count's lands.

"I think it would be better if it were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom.

"No, no, I think it would be better to incorporate it into the neighboring marquisate.

Or better yet, divide it up and give it to the new nobility.

Since most of the taxation system of the Kingdom of Klein would have to be paid once it entered the kingdom, there was little advantage to having the territories under direct control.

Rather, by having the nobles rule, the kingdom could compensate for its manpower shortages.

"All right, I will adopt Prime Minister Powell's plan. Let the new nobles who have done well share in the new kingdom."

The conclusion was made by King Alois III. The staff of the council bowed their heads in silence, as if they had no objections.

The next question was how to divide the property and to whom.

"I think that the first person who has contributed to the success of this project is Licia Faalheit.

These were also the words of the Prime Minister.

Although there was an incident in which a pigeon made her sick, it was not predictable, it was not her fault, and virtually no harm was done to her.

Moreover, Count Walter's butler testified that he had intended to spread the disease in the village of Kaina even if Licia had not stopped by.

The butler had a history of keeping pigeons, and it seems that he and his <> conspired to infect the pigeons with the disease. The punishment is under consideration, but it will be very serious.

Taking all this into consideration, Licia is to be rewarded. Further .......

"How about giving her the village of Toka as her territory and adding the Inado Mine to the leasehold, in addition to the village of Kaina, for Mister Jin?"

The Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications said.

Jin owes us a debt of gratitude for the cure and assistance to Lysia and Pascoe, as well as an apology for the outrageous scheme of Count Walter, a nobleman of the Kingdom of Klein.

"Yes, that's right. Then I suggest that Lysia Faarheit be raised to the rank of baronet.

The intention was to make Lysia a buffer zone against Jin by making her the lord of an adjoining region.

Thus, in the same year, Licia was made a baronet and lord of the village of Toka, but she would not be officially appointed until a few more years later.

"Now all that remains is Pascoe Rush."

The Prime Minister, wishing to ascertain Jin's character, gave Pascoe one instruction.

That is, <>.

However, there was not the slightest indication of this from Pascoe Rush's report.

"I'm sorry I put you in the position of hating me."

After this, Pascoe was also promoted from an apprentice knight to a full knight.

Barrow and Behrle have settled in well at Nido Castle.

"The last banquet was a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun, wasn't it?"

Behle said while cleaning the hall. His partner, Barrow, is cleaning the entrance.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm glad I came here.

Since Jin is usually away, the only work I have to do is cleaning, and even that is done by the golem maids on the third floor and above.

"Really, I wonder who Jin-sama is. ......"

When Burrow expresses such a question, Behrle replies with a smile.

"Oh, it's not that easy. Jin-sama is an amazing person.

Erza has been practicing the engineering magic that Jin taught her day and night.

The other day, she learned how to make a magical device using the flow of magic control (magi sequence), so she is mainly reviewing it.

"The main point of a magical device (Magi Device) is efficiency. ......E, and the magic formula (magi formula) here is ......."

Of course, training in the use of the basic transformation (forming) is also essential.

Making pens and nibs using phosphor bronze also benefits the village. Now Erza can make up to three pen nibs at the same time.

But Brother Jin said, "But," she said, "I can't make 10 nibs at once.

The image of Jin making 10 nibs at once is burned into my mind. And perhaps he also knew that even that was far from Jin's real ability.

"I'll do my best ......."

Sometimes he went to the library on the third floor of Nido Castle to read the manual on magical engineering that the old man had made.

The book was intended for beginners, but the irony is that even the old man did not realize that the beginner level of a magecraftsman is higher than the intermediate level of a general magecraftsman, since there is nothing to compare with it.

However, it is a blessing in disguise. Thanks to this, Erza's ability will continue to grow.

The Kingdom of Leonard, or should I say the former Kingdom of Leonard.

Three shadows speak to each other in the northern region.

One of them was badly wounded and unconscious, so there are exactly two shadows exchanging words.

"Lardus, you're all alone and now you're doing this?"

I guess I'll have to get medical attention somewhere.

"Yes. I have an idea where that might be. There are ruins in the north of this continent. Let's go there.

There are ruins where no one uses them, one of the shadows said.

"......, but it doesn't make much sense to go south. After all, free magic element (ether) is scarce. It's going to be hard to get around here without El Rado Light."

"I agree. We should be happy to know that the singularity is in the ocean. There's no way to use it in the ocean."

"...... Yeah. But that automaton was terrifying.

"Yes, it was. If there were a hundred of them, we'd be destroyed for sure.

It's a good thing they didn't seem too belligerent.

Not at all.

And then the three shadows disappeared to the north.
