Magicraft Meister Part 1

"You want to show me something? You want to show me something?　What is it?"

At Jin's words, 700672 smiled.

"Don't be so hasty. Can't you introduce me to the woman who accompanied you?"

Jin scratched his head.

"I'm ...... Elsa. This is my fiancée."

The 700672 moved his eyes slowly over Erza from the top of her head to the tips of her toes. The look was not unpleasant.

"Hmm, when you once said that you are a good apprentice, an excellent healer, and an important family member, you were referring to Erza-dono, weren't you?"

"Brother Jin!

Erza was a little flustered as the unexpected words came out of No. 700672's mouth.

"Hmmm, it seems so. ...... hmm, <> is healed. The circulation of magic in your body is extremely good.

"Yes, one came to thank you for that.

"Thank you very much for ......."

Jin and Erza went to the 700672 and bowed.

"No need to thank me. We are indebted to you, Jin-dono. That's one of the reasons I'm able to walk around like this.

Neige was smiling as she listened to the 700672's words.

"Oh, and let me introduce Edgar. He is the first automata created by Elsa.

"Wow, it's amazing that she made such a great automaton for the first time ......."

"Well, that's because my brother Jin's guidance was good."

Erza is a little embarrassed. 700672 does not crack a smile,

No, that's not all. No, it's not only that. It's your talent that you have been able to achieve this level of finish without skimping on any details.

He concluded.

Reiko was talking with Neige. No, actually, Neige was talking one-sidedly.

"Father, you've gotten so much better since then.

"I can walk now!　He even strokes my head a lot!

The other day he made me some clothes!"

Reiko listens to these things and continues to listen to them.

"That's great, isn't it?"

"Yes!　So, ......."

With the two of them still together, Jin decides to tell 700672 the purpose of his visit.

"I am interested in what you can show me, but I came here today because I wanted to ask you about the free magical element (ether).

"Oh, the free magical element (ether). What do you want to ask me about?

Jin then explains that he is concerned about the depletion of energy.

"Hmmm...I see. That is a problem in your world. So the same thing will happen to free magical element (ether), is that right?

Yes, that's right. If it were something else, I would take my time to study it and figure it out, but I thought we shouldn't leave this problem unattended.

"That's a good point. I'll let you know."

Then No. 700672 motioned Jin to come to the table in the back. Erza followed. Reiko and Neige, who were talking amicably, were left alone.

The top of the table seemed to be a kind of magic screen. When No. 700672 moved his finger, a figure was drawn on it.

There were a big circle and a small circle.

"Well, the first thing I can say is that the free magical element (ether) is a particle that is located between matter and energy.

Jin was ignorant of quantum mechanics, so he could not explain the suggestion, but he could understand it somehow.

"They are small enough to enter the atomic structure of ordinary matter, light enough to be moved by mental waves, and easily transformed into different energies. They are small enough to enter the atomic structure of ordinary matter, light enough to be moved by mental waves, and easily transformed into various energies. From all this, we have concluded."

"I see, that makes sense."

Jin nodded.

"Good. We have not been able to prove it either. We have only verified the phenomenon, and have destroyed other hypotheses. ...... Well, that's all there is to it."

Then he pointed to the figure displayed on the table.

"First of all, where does the free magical element (ether) come from? It is here.

The 700672 pointed to a large circle.

"The ...... sun, right?"

Yes. Free magic element (ether) is produced by the reaction inside the sun, along with light, heat, and various electromagnetic waves.

Jin heard this and felt that one of his concerns had disappeared.

"So you mean..."

"Yes. So we don't have to think about depletion.

Once the sun is gone, there will be no more supply of free magical element (ether), which means the end of the solar system, and not just the depletion of resources.

"It looks like we'll be okay for a few hundred million years, doesn't it?"

"Yes. My masters have been using the free magical element (ether) as much as they can, but there has been no sign of depletion.

Jin was relieved inside.

"Well, next."

No. 700672 pointed to a small circle.

The larger one is the sun, and the smaller one is this star, Ars. The free magical element (ether) produced by the sun is dissipated into space with light and heat. Some of it comes to Ars."

Jin nodded silently.

"I believe that the structure of the planet's interior, the substances and elements it contains, and its rotation attract free magic elements (ether) at the North Pole and exclude free magic elements (ether) at the South Pole.

I see.

"I assume that the free magical element (ether) attracted to the North Pole is compressed inside the planet to create magical crystals (magi crystals).

I couldn't confirm this," said a somewhat disappointed-looking 700672.

"I see. ......"

Although disappointing, it is not an obstacle to Jin's future. Now we know why there are so few free magical elements (ether) in the Antarctic region.

"This hypothesis, too, could be wrong.

But what Jin wanted to know, and what was at hand, was the origin of the free magical element (ether).

"So, you are saying that the free magical element (ether) is created by the sun, is attracted to the planets, and fills our surroundings.

"That's right. There is no doubt that it is created in the sun."

His words completely dispelled Jin's fears.

"Brother Jin, that's good, isn't it?"

Erza also looked relieved.

"Just hearing that makes my visit worthwhile.

Jin bowed his head.

"Well, I'm glad I could be of service.

Then 700672 began to explain what he wanted to show.

"I told you about the transporter when you helped me get rid of the Dexiconai before, didn't I?　At that time, I remember that you reacted as if you did not own one."

A transporter is a device that can send or recall an object to or from a predetermined location by placing a marker on it.

Jin's transporter can send an object to an arbitrary location without using a marker, but it cannot recall it.

"So, I have assembled the latest model. If you want, I would like you to analyze it and apply it."

The fact that he says <> instead of "use it" shows that he understands Jin very well. No. 72.

"Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Jin accepted it. He then offered the gift he had brought as well.

"I'm a little late, but I brought you this.

Seeing the Persica juice, No. 700672's face broke into a smile.

"Oh, thank you very much. I don't generally need to eat, but this is very helpful. I feel better for a few days after taking it."

Apparently, this is one of those things that cannot be synthesized, even though it is 700672, because it is derived from plants.

He immediately takes out a bottle of 700672 and drinks it down.

"...... well, it works well after all. Thank you."

After taking a breath, 700672 resumes his conversation with Jin.

The ideal is a transporter that can transfer itself to any location, but we have not been able to develop such a transporter.

"Oh, I see. I'd like to make one myself.

The idea is to be able to transport oneself, that is, a . If we could do that, space exploration and space travel would be a dream come true.

"Well, when we traveled through space over the years from Hale to here on Ars, our masters have been working to develop such an engine for some time now, but we have been unable to ...... achieve it."

A little sad, 700672.

"...... but my (our) masters have lost their old appearance, so perhaps it was not unreasonable.

Hearing this, Jin felt a little depressed, wondering if it was still impossible to create a warp engine, at least not by extending transporter technology.
