Magicraft Meister Part 3

Drawing a circle with a radius of 10 meters around the antenna means drawing a circle with a circumference of less than 63 meters, which does not take much time.

The generic golem (actually a craftsman (Smith)) ordered by Deus ex Machina completes the circle in about a minute without incident.

"Nothing happened, did it?"

Makina mutters.

"Yes. At least, there is no evidence of communication from this place to the outside.

Squire Rey gave a supplementary explanation.

"So, for the moment, the Duchy of Jags is not making any moves.

Hearing Rey's words, the participants were relieved and patted their chests.

Since this report probably included the results of the old man's observation, it was certain that the Principality of Jags was unaware of the situation at this point.

However, it is not clear what would happen if the antenna was touched.

"So, it is not possible to destroy the antennas?"

Boon Sumia, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Principality of Mimaka, said in frustration.

He was quietly angry at the fact that his country's information had been extracted.

"We can destroy it. But it will only be repaired in a few days."

"......You're right, that's true. ......"

Boon Sumia bit her lip as Makina explained.

"But it's kind of amazing that there's nothing else on top of the mountain."

Ilmina Ratkin said.

"I would have thought there would have been at least a golem guarding it."

"Yes, I suppose so. But come to think of it, no other country has ever visited here before, and the Duchy of Jagus probably doesn't have a surplus of golems either, so it's not surprising that they haven't deployed any.

"Indeed, you may be right, Makina-sama. ......"

"It's a good thing there's no interference, so let's just call this situation good."

Makina finished.

* * * *

"Then I would like to move on to the next step."

<.

The next step was undecided because of the unpredictability of the situation.

"Of course, we must not do anything that might provoke the Duchy of Jagus.

Everyone agreed with Makina's words.

I agree.

"That's right."

Then Makina continued.

"First, we will set up a near the top of the mountain so that we can observe."

"Oh!"

In other words, we're going to install surveillance cameras.

"There is a possibility that one camera may be detected or malfunction, so let's install three cameras at different distances."

"That's right, Makina-sama."

This plan was supported by all.

"And one more thing."

They all looked at Makina.

"Here, too, let's develop the deposits in this mountain. I can use the ground search to find underground deposits."

"Oh!　That's the same magic that Jin-dono used!

"That's wonderful!"

The others are delighted. But there is one problem, Makina said.

"We can't always find a vein of ore in each territory, can we?"

"...... that can't be helped."

"That's not an option. We'll just have to leave it up to luck.

"I'll leave it to you, Makina-sama. I will not complain about the results of the investigation.

I accept the results as well.

Understood.

All three countries said they would not complain about the results of the survey, so Makina decided to continue the survey in the area from the middle of the mountains to the foot of the mountains.

"And now for the last one."

Makina smiled wryly,

"I would like to test the reaction of the principality of Jagus.

"Is that ?

"Is that ......?"

"After we pull up, we'll play with the antennae just enough to see how it reacts without being detected."

Makina explained that he would try to damage the antenna to the extent that it was damaged by natural phenomena.

"We can check it with the magic eye for surveillance."

"I see. ...... That idea is unique to Makina-dono, isn't it?"

Illumina Latkin said, impressed.

"How exactly do you do it?"

In response to this question, Makina said,

"I'm going to ask Ray to do it.

She answered simply, "I'm going to have Ray do it. Then she continued.

"It will not happen often, but we will make it look like a strong wind blew and the antenna fell down.

"I see. I see. That is possible.

Wind is strong near the top of high mountains.

Even now, winds of about 5 meters per hour blow from time to time.

It would not be surprising if wind gusts of 20 meters or more were to occur.

"So, let's say that's the case."

<<> thus came to an end.

* * * * *

"I see."

At Horai Island, Jin was being briefed by the old man on the results of the mission.

"So that's how it was the first time."

<

"Yes. ...... after all, the that was on standby didn't make it out."

But that's not a bad thing. We now know that the Duchy of Jagus is only that good at spotting.

> is not giving you proper advice on that.

If you can think logically, you should have at least one golem. If that is not possible, he says, there is no reason why some kind of surveillance system should not be placed near the summit.

As for this, I would like to investigate the in the near future, the old man added.

"And then we will search for mineral deposits?"

"What about the distribution of the resources? ...... you have a good location?"

<

"I see. We can assist them technically?

<

Little by little, the duchies are being revealed and enlightened.

The world has taken a great step toward peace.
