Magicraft Meister Part 3

.

This is the first airship-like ship built by Jin. It was developed with the concept of flying between countries in one day.

It is 40 meters long, 18 meters high, and has a capacity of 30 passengers. Maximum speed is 200 km/h. Propelled by jet thrusters.

It has an air sac and floats on helium gas, but also uses a <>.

<>. Alternatively, you can use your doppelganger to be safer.

"Yes, I understand."

Erza replied that she would go by herself, since Machina would be there.

"I will adjust the time and have the transporter send to the vicinity of , and after landing, I will use the warp gate to get there."

<

The old man agreed with me.

Normally, it should be Jin, but since he is currently on an inspection tour of the Pandor continent, his wife Elsa is acting in his place.

The old man started to prepare for .

At 1:00 p.m. local time on May 8.

Deus ex machina and Tomax Bartmann greet it at the airfield.

"Oh, here they come."

Is that the airship ......?

Yes, it was built by the second generation of Magecraft Meister Jin.

Makina explains. As a side note, the second generation is called , and the third generation is called .

The ship lands on the ground.

The cabin door opens, and the ramp slowly rises up to reveal Erza. She is accompanied by Anne, her handmaiden automata.

"Erza-sama, it's been a while.

Makina greeted her first.

Yes, it's been a while.

Then Tomax Bartmann says hello.

"Elsa, I am very grateful to you for your hospitality this time," he says.

No, I am here to protect the peace and tranquility of the continent of Pandor.

After such a simple greeting, Sky 700 and 701 came down with a large container in their arms.

"Here are the anti-brainwashing helmets and the magic tools to remove brainwashing.

"Oh, thank you very much.

Elsa handed the delivery note to Tomax Bartmann.

"Certainly. Manon will take care of the payment.

I understand. I'll leave this to Anne.

The container is taken to the World Guard building.

Tomax Baartman, Deus ex Machina, Elsa, and Anne are also moving toward the building.

Skye 700 and 701 remain in .

Is that a helmet?

"Yes. <. There are 100 sets of helmet type and 100 sets of under helmet cap.

First of all, Erza explained the helmets to the participants as a confirmation.

"The helmets are light.

"They are made of mithril. <

"And this is an under-helmet cap. This one seems to be more convenient.

< exclusive helmets.

"Hmm, this is the . ......"

Makina showed interest in the magic tool.

"Oh, it's called <>."

Erza corrected the name.

The <> is a magical tool that Jin had created long ago to break the brainwashing and subjugation magic of the northern peoples.

"I see, <> is an awakening machine (Weckenner)>>. ...... It seems to have quite a lot of power, doesn't it?　What is its range?"

Makina had recognized its performance at first glance.

(......The old man and the imam both have a good way of constructing questions and answers.)

Erza answered the question with inner admiration.

"At full power, it is about one kilometer. In that case, the area of effect is 100 meters in diameter.

"That's amazing!"

It's reassuring to be able to de-brainwash from a distance," rejoiced Tomax Bartmann.

"Exactly. This will expand the scope of our operations.

Deus ex machina agreed.

A strategy meeting was then held.

The participants were Tomax Bartmann, Deus ex Machina, Manon the secretary automata, and Fiona Fierce, apprentice to the secretary to the chief administrator.

And back at the Warp Gate are Northanon Quetos, commander of the Pandor continental squadron, and Eumis Isle, the squadron's vice-captain.

Erza, the creator of the magic tools, is also present. Anne was by her side as a maid of honor.

"This operation will basically be carried out by the Pandor Continental Division.

Tomax Bartmann cut in.

"The first priority is to rescue the villagers who are believed to have been enslaved," Tomax Bartmann said. Next is to secure the leaders in the hideout. Then we will take control of the hideout. The last one is to get back the food that has been stolen.

Please try not to cause any casualties among the villagers, said Tomax Bartmann.

At this point Elsa raised her hand and spoke.

"From what I have heard, these people are very weak. I think that they need to be given some kind of cure or restorative as soon as we get them out of there.

"Ah, thank you very much for your remarks, Miss Elsa. You are right. I am sure you are right. I am sure you are also physically exhausted and need to take some healing medicine as well.

Tomax Bartmann thanked her. Then Elsa added,

"I have also brought some recovery medicine. <."

"Oh, thank you!　The recovery medicine prepared by Jin is very effective.

Makina said.

It was a deliberate move on Erza's part, but it came as a fresh surprise to the others.

"Then the enslaved people need to be treated as soon as they are protected, and for that we need medics.

Northanon Quetos said.

"I have heard that there are ten such people. If that's the case, I don't think the medics in the squad are enough.

Eumis Isle also spoke up.

"Well, let's temporarily add 10 Saffies.

Saffy is a golem maid donated by Jin and Makina a long time ago, but her basic performance is high.

"They will be in charge of administering healing and restorative medicines and taking care of the people they protect.

The medic will be in charge of magical healing.

"Understood."

And so the mission meeting proceeded.

The operation was to take place soon after.

It was decided that it would be at 1:00 p.m. local, or Pandorian continental time.

The reason for the daytime is to protect the enslaved villagers first and foremost.

This is the time when they are working in the open.

Please put human life first.

Yes, sir.

Elsa, who was also observing the meeting, wondered if there was anything she could do.
