Magicraft Meister Part 1

"But I didn't realize that I had been enslaved in such a way..." muttered Istaris with a sigh.

Istaris muttered with a sigh.

"It's a shame."

"No, it's not good if all the clans are suffering the same thing.

"But then, ......"

Netros muttered as he made a sullen face.

"Does that mean that the <> clans suffered the same thing?"

"Yes, I suppose so. It doesn't take long to implant a <>. It doesn't take long to implant a needle, just put something like a long, thin tube against your chest and it will be implanted in an instant. The same goes for behind the ears."

"Who did it?"

I don't know. ......

Then when was it implanted?

"Well, I can only speculate, but you know that the clan leaders met half a month ago at the clan meeting?　I think it might have been at that time.

But Istaris didn't seem to know.

"I don't ...... know. It seems to have happened after we left."

This probably saved Istaris and Theon, Netros and Lucas from being ruled over.

Theon broke off the conversation.

"I think we should talk about what we are going to do."

"Yes. You're right.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd like my entire clan to be freed from this <>. ......"

With a scowl, Alektas said.

"It is the same for me. < freed as well."

While Alectus and Istaris wished to be liberated, Zion expressed a pragmatic opinion.

"But it's not easy, is it?　I don't know who or what they are, but I don't think they will stand by and watch their enslaved people be freed. I wonder how long it will take. ......"

"I think it would be better to hit the source first here."

The discussion among the demon clans was getting underway, and then Anne offered her opinion.

"You mean we should find the person who implanted the <> and do something about it?"

Theon said with a frown on his well-shaped brow.

"Can we do that?　First we have to find him. And even if we do find him, I don't think we're a match for someone who uses a . ......

Istaris said unsurely.

"I think it depends on how you do it. You don't have to face them head on."

Anne says matter-of-factly.

"We can find out where they are, sneak in, and neutralize them."

It's a bit rough, but with the amount of information we have now, it's the only way, I added.

"How do we find them?"

"Let's just say that there is a way to do that. After all, Goshujin-sama is a Magecraft Meister."

"......"

After a moment of silence, Istaris nodded.

"We have to try, don't we? ...... Jin-sama, can you do it for me?"

"I'll make a request too. "I ask you too, Magecraft Meister, Jin-sama. I beg you.

I know.

Jin had a hunch that this problem was probably not limited to the demons.

He had a vague feeling that if this issue was not settled properly, the human race would eventually be affected.

The first thing we need to do is to find out where they are.

"But how?"

Jin says nonchalantly, while Alektas is skeptical.

"The needle you removed must still be connected by magic to the unknown. We can follow that line."

"I see. ......"

"I will not answer the question of how, yet. Believe me that it can be done.

It is the old man who is now piloting Jin's double. Jin might have told him that there is a Magi Detector, but the old man was very careful in this respect.

He instructed Land 1 to measure the direction of the magic power. It was about due north.

"Okay, let's move a little to the east and measure again.

This is the basic of surveying.

As a matter of fact, since the island of Horai Island has a much more sophisticated magic detector (Magi Radar) than the Magi Detector, the old man already knew the location of the mysterious being.

However, he had Capricorn 1 himself make the measurement, although it was a double effort, because he could improve the accuracy by making the measurement again at the site.

"North-northwest."

Where the two lines intersect, that is the location of the target. Jin locates the location on the simplified map.

"This is it. It's on the other side of the mountain here.

When Jin points to the simplified map, Alexus' eyes widen.

"...... where it all began: ......"

"What?"

"...... that is . Then it was the < that did this. ......"

"The place of beginnings. That's the name of the place that was mentioned in the information I got from Belialus."

< lived closest to this place.

"Oh, so they are the source of the problem.

Jin looked up from the map and stared out the window at the mountains to the north. At any rate, now he had a clear goal.

"First, let's go to the place where it all began. We can talk about what to do on the way."

"Okay."

"Yes, I have no objection."

So Capricorn 1 sets off for the mountains to the north.

"What do you know about the Clan of the Beginning?"

Leaving the piloting to Land 1, Jin and the others continued their discussion.

"Yes. ...... They are said to have old technology."

Alexus answered.

"Old technology?"

"Yes. A magical technology that our distant ancestors were said to have had.

"......"

This is valuable information, older than the clan, which claims to have technology that is over 2,000 years old.

The old man tried to supplement it with the old tale Vivian had told him.

Ancestors of humans and demons who came to this planet by a ship in the sky.

The followers who are almost the same as human ...... = automata.

If we put it like this, it makes sense.

So far, Jin cannot build a either. Then, it is possible that the technology of his ancestors is a terrible thing.

"We have to be very careful when making contact."

The old man decided that he needed to plan for the possibility that the technology could be more advanced than Jin's.

"Yes, I agree. But is the really that dangerous?"

Anne asked curiously.

"No, I have never met them.

Sorry," bowed Alexas.

"We, the clans of the <>, only knew that the <> lived nearby. And the <> contacted us only by voice. And that too, irregularly."

The clan of the <> has had such a magical tool for a long time, and from time to time, advice comes from it. Hence, they must be the clan of the .

But here is a question.

How is it that the <> is able to procure food without communicating with any other clans, while other clans are suffering from food shortages?

"If it is also thanks to magical technology..."

Istaris says with a difficult look on her face.

"I wonder if we are a match for such an opponent. ......"

"You're a weakling, sister. It's not a question of whether or not we can defeat them, but of what we have to do for the sake of our clan.

Zion is positive.

"Yes, you're right. ......"

"It's not like we're going to be enemies from the start."

As they were talking about this.

"There's a ward on the way."

Land 1 reported.
