Magicraft Meister Part 1

235 years ago, an unknown plague spread in the former Kingdom of Leonard. It was named and was feared.

The plague began in the north of the kingdom and gradually spread southward.

The mortality rate was high and there was no way to prevent it. Bodies were burned to ashes and the population of the kingdom was reduced to half.

In order to escape this state of affairs, an emigration ...... was planned.

The destination is the moon. In the Kingdom of Leonard, there was a magic circle that had been left behind for who knows how long.

First the king, then the royal family, then the nobles, then the common people.

It is said that they moved one after another, and not a single one of them ever returned.

This is what I heard from a messenger who was left in the basement when I went to the old Leonard Kingdom last summer for a research trip.

There was no answer.

A long moment of silence passes. Then a voice that did not belong to Golem 28, the guide, rang out.

Who are you?　You have the body of an automaton, but your spirit is unmistakably human. I have never met such a being before.

The tone of voice is different, but it is the voice that Jin D heard when he was transferred. <

>......?　I guess that would mean that you are the leading expert in magical technology. <>......?　That's a name I've never heard before.

<<>, or is that correct? >>

That's right. I used to be the administrative head of the ship. <

He told us of his remarkable past.

<

< are the people who came to Ars from the far side of the universe ......? >>

Yes, that's right. You know them well. Is that also because you are a Magecraft Meister?

<

Certainly, it is because I am a Magecraft Meister that I was able to go to the old Leonard's Kingdom, hear from the messenger in the basement, and meet a follower named 700672 in the demon tribe's territory. It could be said that it is because I am a "Meister" that I was able to go to the former Leonard Kingdom, hear from the messenger in the basement, and get acquainted with a follower named 700672 in the demon territory.

Jin D. briefly explained to the participants what had happened so far.

I see. You seem to be a man worth talking to.

< has recognized Jin D, and by extension, Jin, as a person with whom he would like to have a dialogue.

If so, may I ask how you came to be here?

<

Interesting. You mean that we do not need a host?

<

There are no transporters in this facility. It is therefore a natural conclusion.

Do you have a ship flying in the sky, ...... or even a spaceship?

<

After all. ............ You are not <>. But you seem to have technology that rivals that of the Masters.

<>

Not only by words. Part of this facility was once a ship. Various measuring instruments are still there. We used them to check the area around UNY and confirmed the spaceship you are referring to.

Jin was inwardly amazed at the abilities of the "one who controls the base". It seems that they have technology that he does not have or has not yet developed.

For a while after that, Jin D talked with <> and obtained information.

The most useful of all was the .

It seems that the < Magi Technology>, the transfer magic circle, can transfer objects with about one-fifth of the magic power consumed by the warp gate, although it takes longer.

Jin speculates that this may be due to the amplification of magic power by the circular magic circle.

However, the receiving side is the opposite magic circle. It is not possible to transfer anywhere.

Jin dreamed of improving this transfer magic circle to be able to send it to any place.

And now for another topic that touches the very heart of the matter.

>

It is 99% true.

Before Jin D could ask what he meant by 99 percent, an explanation was given.

There were survivors.

That is also true.

<> is a disease that becomes more severe in those who have less magical power. There must have been tens of thousands of people who survived thanks to their high magical power.

The fact that the was a disease unique to Arus, and that those in charge of the base were slow to react to it, seems to have been one of the reasons for the tragedy.

There were about 1,200 survivors. Then, after about 9 generations ...... and about 230 years, the number of 12 After about 230 years, the number of survivors has dwindled to just two.

Every couple had only one child. Then surely, after nine generations, there would be almost no children left.

And it does not mean that the male-to-female ratio is one to one.

One of the two passed away the other day. The last one is also very old now.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the population is declining due to disease and a declining birth rate, or even .

They came to the moon to escape from the fever of magical exhaustion, but they could not escape from their doom.

Another new fact came out. Jin D. asks for more information about it.

It is in the Kingdom of Leonard that the Masters of the Ship of Heaven landed.

It seems that they were from a different lineage from those who landed in the demon territory.

It is true that there was not only one ship that flew over the sky, so it is not surprising.

(I heard that the former Leonard Kingdom had little interaction with the surrounding countries, so it may be that they became too rich in blood and as a result, they went down the path of extinction. ......)

As for Jin of Horai Island, I will make a guess based on what I have heard. There is no way to verify whether it is correct or not. However, it seems that Jin has found some kind of closure in his feelings.

>

That's right. Those who survived practiced <> and holed themselves up in the section with no entrances or exits. The only way to get in and out is to move on.

The ultimate shut-in, Jin thinks, but does not say so.

>

Jin D. just says such a question.

Yes, I do. ........................ Jin D., I have just received an order from him. He wants to meet with you.

Suddenly the tone of the man in charge of the base changes.

He seemed to have been communicating with the man for a little while. Jin immediately agreed.

At times like this, being a <> is very helpful. Even if it was a trap, it would have no effect on the main body.

<? >>

<

Go straight ahead and enter the room at the end of the hall.

Jin D. and Anne proceed as instructed.

Jin, who is piloting the ship, wonders what effect the change in the tone of voice of <> has had on the ship, and other thoughts that have nothing to do with the main story.

On the floor of the room at the end of the hall, there was a magic circle painted on the floor.

(This is the room that the Shinobi Forces could not find. ......)

Jin wondered if there was some secret of the facility there, too. Jin D. and Anne stand in the center of the magic circle.

Now, let's move.

A few seconds later, Jin D. and Anne were transferred to another room.

We are in another facility.

Indeed, the environment was so different that even Jin-D's sensor could feel it.

First of all, the gravity. The gravity here is about 0.8G, whereas it was almost 1G in the place where they had just been.

Next is the temperature. The temperature has also changed from about 20 degrees Celsius to about 27 degrees Celsius.

The humidity, which used to be very dry, seems to have dropped to about 50 percent.

(Probably because of the last one, who is very old).

As Jin was making such a guess, a golem similar to Golem 28 appeared.

It seems to be guiding Jin D and Anne.

Please come this way.

（"Will a demon or a snake appear?)

Jin D. is holding such a period drama-like line in his heart.

Jin D. and Anne followed the golem as they were told.
