Magicraft Meister Part 3

On July 7, in the Principality of Norja, the first prince, Gifora Movie de Norja, was about to depart in a hurry.

His destination was Lake Yateau. The Prince of Mimaka had recently pointed out the lawlessness of the fishermen, and if it was true, he was going to crack down on them.

It is 130 kilometers away, a distance that would take two to three days by horseback.

Well, father, I'll be on my way.

"Yes. I give you full authority. You will do your duty. Rusev, take care of my son.

Yes, Your Highness.

Accompanying him will be Jean Frustrated Raksev, Commander of the 2nd Corps, and three of his most trusted men. A total of five men will be traveling to Lake Yateau.

The route will also be the subject of an investigation.

As he trotted his horse, Prince Zifora remembered what Deus ex Machina had said to him yesterday.

too.

The prince thought that it was certainly possible, considering the fact that Madaïm Ruha had been brainwashed before he knew it.

(Then, it is possible that the people around him have been brainwashed as well.)

The prince has three <>sent to him by Deus ex Machina in his luggage, which he plans to use in the villages, towns, and hamlets on the way to the destination.

The problem in using them is that those who have been released from brainwashing or suggestion do not remember when they were subjected to such treatment.

(That's not an option...). (It can't be helped, since the danger of leaving ...... brainwashing unchecked is far greater).

And the 1st Prince Gifora Movie de Norha, the 2nd Corps Commander Jean Furusort Laksef, and three of their underlings are wearing the anti-brainwashing hats provided by Jin.

Mass-produced hats are scheduled to arrive at in the near future, but for the time being, they were distributed in advance to prevent brainwashing of the royal family and other important figures in the country.

The majority of Norway is located between the Tropic of Cancer and the equator, and the summer sun shines almost directly overhead, making it very hot.

However, since they were born and raised in such an environment, no one ever got sick. As long as they drink water. ......

And they brought their own water.

But the water was contaminated.

When we opened the barrels of water for lunch, we found that the water looked like ditch.

The water was brownish and muddy, and the smell was terrible.

"......What's going on?"

"I don't know, Your Highness. Perhaps it was in the water from the beginning.

One of his men said, but Jean Frustrated Raksev, Commander of the 2nd Corps, denied it.

No, that's not true. The water was clean when I checked it before we left.

"Then why in the world ......?"

The first prince, Gifora Movie de Norja, looked at me with difficulty.

Each of us had a small water bottle containing 500 milliliters, more than half of which was left.

And while there was no problem getting water, as Lake Kotsi was only an hour away, the fact that the supposedly clean water was contaminated was more of a problem.

"......Someone traitor ......No, you mean the brainwashed one was still in the royal castle."

The first prince said with a bitter look on his face.

"Calm down, Your Highness. I'm sure that the main purpose of this ...... is to make you fall into such doubt.

Jean, the commander of the 2nd Corps, says to him as if to admonish him.

"......mm. That may be true.

Cracks and wedges are driven into the bonds. That, the prince realized, was exactly what the Duchy of Jagus had in mind.

"If that's the case, they're a nasty bunch."

"Indeed. ......, let's scrap this barrel."

"That's the only way. ...... the horses okay?"

The water we each have can keep the humans alive for another hour, but I'm a little worried about the wear and tear on the horses.

Half of the water in the barrels is for the horses.

"Let's give them one more hour," he said.

That's all I can do.

The group decided to have lunch in the next town, Baikes, and headed south again.

* * * * * * * *

At the same time, and Jin were visiting Resonare, the capital of the Principality of Norway. Or, more precisely, Jin D, Jin's alter ego (doppelganger).

Soon after, they used .

The purpose, however, was to support the Principality of Norway.

"Oh, you've already left, Your Highness?"

Actually, I knew about it using my peepers, but I decided it was appropriate to pretend I didn't know about it.

"That's right. He said that we should confirm the facts as soon as possible.

The Prime Minister, Premus High Yasna, is responding.

I see. So part of your purpose is to inspect the route?

"That's what I mean."

At that moment, Jin D. saw an unfamiliar face out of the corner of his eye.

He is a man in his twenties with a somewhat suspicious attitude.

Jin D. has an amazing eyesight and can make use of the old man's memory, though Jin himself would not have been able to find him.

The man was not found when he scanned all over the castle of the Kingdom of Norha with his the other day.

"......Who is that man?"

Jin casually asks the Prime Minister.

"Ah, he is a merchant who has access to the royal castle.

"Oh?"

"I had him procure the fodder, water, and food that your highnesses needed."

He had a role to play in convincing them, but Jin D decided to make sure.

"...... I see. ...... Reiko."

"Yes."

Reiko activates the <> under the direction of Jin D. She irradiates it at the merchant. She irradiated it at the merchant.

"......?"

The merchant's face turned a stunned look, then turned completely blue.

"Wow, I ...... why did you do that ......?"

"Such and such a thing?　What is such and such a thing?"

Zonata Nictes Vecchio, the minister of military affairs, who was present at the meeting, asked.

"Oh ......, yes ............ well, they put mud from the bottom of the swamp in a barrel of water, hardened with ice.... ...Oh, why did you do that ......!"

"...... because it's frozen with ice, so it can't be detected immediately...... and when the ice melts, the mud mixes with the water and makes it undrinkable."

Jin analyzes the act.

"You were definitely brainwashed or implicated."

"Ummm... ......"

The prime minister's face changed.

The concern is that the country's upper echelons will become obsessed with doubt and suspicion.

"......"

Jin D. understood the concern.

The purpose of this visit was to resolve this issue, at least in part.

"Prime Minister, I have something to assist you in that regard."

The Prime Minister's pale complexion improved a little, even though I had not yet explained the contents of the letter.

"Jin-dono, is that ......?"

"Well, take a look. It's ...... Hope!"

"Yes, Master."

Jin D called out to Hope, and Hope came down from inside the carrying a magi-machine.

"This is a constantly-operating . Its effective range is a radius of 10 kilometers centered on this machine.

"My God!"

The prince has a personal target, this is an area.

The difference in power was obvious.

If we install this in King's Landing, at least we won't have to worry about brainwashing or suggestion within the city.

"Thank you!"

Horaijima was finally ready to take measures against brainwashing.
