Magicraft Meister Part 3

The confessions of the top leaders of the <>, who were more loose-tongued than expected, revealed the whole picture of the <>.

NORTHANON QUETOS interrogates them ...... and the questions continue, with the three of them taking turns answering them.

Jin and Makina were in the monitoring the situation.

Naturally, the images were captured by a <> and the sounds by a <>.

The name is Pedro Lakitova.

Their names are Pedro Rakitova, Cherenko Rakitova, and Yakov Rakitova.

They used to work as secretaries of the , but when their masters were wiped out by the invasion of the Markitas, they were at their wits' end, when they were invited by a certain someone.

"Who is this person?"

"...... His identity is unknown. He always wears a mask. <, but I suspect it is an alias.

A man with no face and no name, who seemed to be the mastermind behind all this.

He introduced me to a man who claimed to be Vladimir Hangazone Melkana of the Melkana royal family.

According to the masked man, he was the son of the brother of Mikhailinov Hangazonet Merkana, the last king of Merkana. In other words, he is a nephew of Mikailinov.

This is surprising, since it was thought that all the kings had died during the invasion of Malchitas.

"He was 21 years old, 185 centimeters and 80 kilograms. He had blond hair, blue eyes, and good looks, so he was the perfect mikoshi (portable shrine)."

"So he's a palanquin. ......"

"Yes. For better or worse, he's a typical young man. All you have to do is fluster him and he'll be fine."

"I see. So where is he now?

Northerner thought that he would not get an answer to this question,

"He is in the Principality of Jagus.

But he answered unexpectedly, "He is in the Duchy of Jagus.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"Well, just when I thought I've solved the mystery, another one pops up.

Jin blurted out.

It seems that the head of the <<<< revolutionary party>> was literally just a decoration>>

"Yes. It seems that he's a helpless monarch who's satisfied with just being pampered."

"He's literally just a decoration."

Jin and Makina looked at each other in disgust.

"Does this mean that he is pampered in the Principality of Juggs and does as he pleases?"

The old man is going to check the most likely place to find Vladimir Hangazonne Mercana in the Principality of Jagdus, that is, the capital city.

"You mean he is under house arrest?"

"Wow ......"

This is Jin who reminded me of Liu Zen, the second Shu emperor who lost his homeland. He remembered him because he liked the comics of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"If that's the case, I guess I can leave that one alone. ......"

"So, the problem is the masked man. ......

"Perhaps he's the one who uses the ."

Erza's guess was the same as Jin and the others.

"Then where is he?"

It seemed that the did not know either.

Meanwhile, at the same time, the headquarters of the <>.

Food looted from all over the world was being gathered here, and some members of the <> remained behind to carry it out.

At the same time, they are also investigating the inside of the hideout.

The squad's deputy commander, Yumis Isle, is in charge.

"Those bags are fragile, so please carry them carefully, <>."

Yes, sir.

There were also five golems under Machina's command, helping to carry the bags.

"There is nothing to see on the ground floor.

The ground floor was where the enslaved villagers and the brainwashed underlings lived. There were only a few personal belongings.

The basement level was also empty.

There was nothing of note.

"Basement level 2: ...... umm... ......"

Humis Isle frowned.

More than half of this hierarchy is occupied by the middle class, who have not been brainwashed.

Hence, personal belongings were scattered about, some of which the young woman did not want to see.

"Hey, let's go to the third basement!"

"Yes, sir."

Accompanying Yumis now was Machina's valet, Rey. He should be able to handle most situations.

And the third basement, where the leaders' quarters and the command center are located.

Lieutenant, we found the treasure.

I knew it. ......

The leaders had amassed a personal fortune.

"Get it all out of here. We'll give it back to the people of this continent later.

"Yes, sir."

Yumis Isle himself is examining the command center.

"I haven't found anything new. ...... Please take out the bookshelves with the materials."

On one of the walls there is a large bookshelf with a variety of books and files.

I'm going to take all of them to and check them out for the time being.

"...... Oh?"

< had carried away the bookshelves, they had found something on the wall.

"A hidden door?

The thin line on the wall made it look as if there was a door there.

But it's impossible if we don't know how to open it. I think we'd better wait for a specialist.

Yumis Isle made a calm decision, "It would be a disaster if it opens on its own and something irreversible happens.

* * * * * *

<, the old man, who had learned about the hidden door that Yumis Isle had found, was immediately exploring the back of the door with his .

"What do you think, old man?"

Jin asked after a minute or so, when the old man did not say anything.

<

"Oh, I see."

There are still undiscovered remains of the Origin scattered all over the world.

One of them was probably discovered by chance and used as a hideout by the .

"Could there be anything left behind by the <>?"

But it seems not so well,

<

"That's too bad."

"I see."

Jin imagined that it might be the masked man.
