Magicraft Meister Part 1

"That's a lot of ......!"

"Is this the power that Leonard's kingdom had ......?"

"Great, great, great, great!"

Jade Nephroy was running around among the golems without thinking about himself.

"Hey, I was distracted by the golem, but look at that!

A man pointed behind him, and his fellow knights all turned to look.

"Whoa!"

"...... is amazing!"

There was a pile of Magi Crystals. They were not sorted by attribute, but they were piled up in various colors: red, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, black, transparent, and so on.

"Why so many ......?"

Bruno, the captain of the group, was not sure yet, but his eyes lit up as he thought that with such a large amount of Magi Crystals, they would be able to make up for the loss of the last year's ......<>.

* * * * * *

And it seems that the magic minister Kerichdole on this side of the <> felt the same way.

"Wonderful. The discovery of the Magi Crystal and the Golem. Our country's finances can now breathe a sigh of relief.

Treasures lying in the ruins of a kingdom thought to have perished.

There is no one in this world who would argue that the one who finds it owns it. There are no laws.

"Was it an old mining site?"

Jin asked himself.

If the old Leonard's Kingdom had been mining magi crystals since it was still functioning, that amount of magi crystals would make sense.

The same mining by golems had continued on Horai Island for a thousand years.

However, there is no explanation for the golem for battle.

"Hmmm, that's certainly a strange combination..."

Kerichdole, who had cooled down from her excitement, agreed with Jin's question.

"...... and the orientation of that golem..."

Elsa also expressed her doubts.

"What do you mean?　What do you mean by 'orientation'?"

<, I mean that all the golems in the row are facing the back of the room.

"Hmm. It looks like they're on the lookout for something coming out of the back of the room.

"...... sure."

Jin and his team are able to make a fairly calm judgment about these puzzling aspects from the sidelines, but the investigators involved are so absorbed in their discovery that they do not seem to have any doubts whatsoever.

The video image began to move. < must have walked out.

The image was moving toward the back, weaving between the golems.

The image was moving through the golems and moving toward the back of the room.

"Hmm?　The golems around here have scratches on them.

The steel exterior of the Golem, which had passed 400 Golems, showed scratches.

And moreover.

"...... arms are missing?"

After 500 bodies, the damage was getting worse.

"......!"

Everything after 550 had been destroyed.

What is this mess?

"Why does the damage increase as you go deeper into the room?　It's as if the enemy has come out from the back."

There is no answer to these questions.

The debris piled up at the back of the room made it impossible to imagine what was there.

The site had not yielded any more discoveries than that.

No further discoveries were made at the site. Nevertheless, the discovery of many battle golems and magi crystals was expected to bring great benefits to the Kingdom of Egelea.

The Kingdom of Egelea began preparations for the departure of a large force to retrieve the golem and the magi crystals.

* * * * * * * * * * *

"Well, we will leave you now for the time being.

On the morning of the 10th, Jin and his team left Asunto for Alban, the capital of the Kingdom of Klein. There had been no particular developments at the ruins since then.

So Reinhardt's ambassadorial duties are over.

Yes, it's been a long time.

Jin wanted to make sure that the Kunlun Islands were clear to the Klein Kingdom in person.

It's about 250 kilometers away. Jin's airship arrived at Alban in five hours. The time was 1:00 pm.

Since the airship had been contacted, he was greeted in Alban by Princess Rieschen and other familiar faces.

"Oh, Jin, it's been a long time!　It's been a little less than two months since my father's treatment at ......."

"Jin-dono, Erza-dono, and Ambassador Reinhardt-dono, welcome."

The second prince Arthur greeted them with Rys. And then..,

"Jin-sama, it's a pleasure to see you again."

It was Lioness Ashford, the tutor of the second prince Arthur.

Jin and the others were soon shown into the reception room.

When they told him that they had already eaten on the airship, tea and tea cakes were served.

"Well, Miss Elsa, or should I say Miss Elsa Randall now? First of all, let me thank you again for the other day. Thank you very much for healing my father.

Arthur bowed his head. Rieschen bowed at the same time.

"My father has recovered quite well since then, and he is now able to hold government affairs normally," he said.

"I am glad to hear that."

Elsa answered a little shyly.

"Well, I have a few things for you today, but let's start with Sir Jin Nido, shall we?

At the same time, Princess Rieschen held out a piece of leather paper.

"Sir Jin Nidor, on this 10th day of January, 3458, the Kingdom of Klein recognizes you as Lord Kunlun. "Sir Jin Nidor.

In a formal tone, Rieschen read out the description on the leather paper.

"Jin, you're good!　I too would like to visit this Kunlun Island!

Princess Rieschen now spoke to Jin in a friendly manner as she handed him the paper.

Jin takes the paper with a serious face and smiles this time.

"Oh, I'm sure you will, eventually, when the situation calms down.

"Yeah, yeah, I promise."

Rhys nodded his head in satisfaction and the subject moved on to the next topic.

"Mister Reinhardt, it seems that the road improvement project using the five Goliaths that we borrowed from the Shoro Empire is going well so far. I would like to thank you first of all for that.

It is a great thing to be able to transport and maintain roads.

"In regards to this gratuity, this is what our country has in mind."

Prince Arthur presents the rolled and sealed document. Reinhardt accepted it with a nod of the head.

Although he is an ambassador, Reinhardt does not have the authority to see the document. He was to take it back to the Shoro Kingdom and give it to the queen.

"Jin-dono, the other day you told me about the buckwheat crop, and the Nostalgia Party gave me some of it, and I've just started growing it.

"That's good to hear."

Jin, in other words, since the stock on Horai Island was low, he sent Ann to the demon territory to get some seeds and gave them to the Nostalgia Party.

"I also brought what I could get, as I promised the other day," Jin said to Reiko.

Jin ordered Reiko and held out a small bag. It was a small bag of buckwheat seeds weighing about one kilogram.

"Oh, thank you.

Jin could be proud of the fact that he had kept his promise, but it was a bittersweet moment for him because it was far short of the amount he needed.

"Here, take this."

Jin then handed him the map.

"Oh!　This is it!

Amazing!

It shows the topography of the Leonard Kingdom!

Even though the map was little more than a blank map, it had a great impact.

A promise was made to thank him later. Just to be clear, I should make this clear.

The conversation went further.

"...... Well, then, my survey team should be moving through this area by now."

Prince Arthur pointed to the upper reaches of the Darth River.

Jin looked at it and guessed that they were probably moving southward along the contour line.

This does not mean that he knows the contour lines, but it means that he would not have chosen a route that would require going up and down. It is just that it would be the least effort.

However, it seemed to me that there was a possibility that they might have crossed paths with the Egelea Kingdom survey team.

How well the hot air balloons would be utilized, Jin did not know.

The investigation of the former Leonard Kingdom has only just begun.
