Magicraft Meister Part 3

Now, let's go back in time a little to July 24th.

It is the day after the return of Makina's group from the .

Deus ex machina was making final adjustments to the magic screen in his machine, .

"Okay, that's it."

"Oh, that was fast!"

has now landed in Recode, in the southern part of the Principality of Mimaka. This is where the World Guard is stationed.

There, officials from the Principality of Norway, the Principality of Dalat, and the Principality of Mimaka have gathered to view the images from the that was recently installed on the .

"I can see very well, can't I?"

"Is this the summit of the unnamed peak?"

Those from the various duchies who had not participated in the recent mission were looking at the screen with a curious look on their faces.

The following are those who are here this time.

From the Principality of Dalat, Minister of the Interior Maise Wai Haga.

From the Principality of Norway, Nahams Marrow, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Technology.

And from the Principality of Mimaka, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, Junki Kitz-Shu, and the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Boon Sumia.

Since we do not know how long it will take for this verification experiment, the vice-ministers, not the heads of each organization, are participating in the experiment.

The Minister of the Interior of the Principality of Dalat himself participated, showing the depth of his interest in the project.

Three magic eyes were set up in three locations. Each of them is viewing the from a different angle and at a different distance.

The shape of the being monitored looks like an antenna that receives radio waves from a satellite.

"The dish is made of mithril silver because it is designed to receive magic waves.

Makina explains.

"It seems to be oriented approximately to the east."

This indicates that the dish must be used to receive communications from the Principality of Mimaka and the Principality of Norway.

"Seeing that it is not facing the side of the Principality of Dalat, I wonder if there are any agents over there who would make such a communication. ......"

Makina paused, then slowly opened his mouth again.

"It is possible that they are communicating without going through <>. ...... but that's just a guess."

Since the unnamed peak stands between the Duchy of Jagus and the Duchy of Mimaka, there is no traffic between the two duchies, and there are no roads between them.

On the other hand, the Duchy of Norja and the Duchy of Dalat share a border, so it is highly possible that the Duchy of Jagus has adopted a different method.

"However, we can't move on speculation alone. First things first. At ......, we begin."

The Knight Ray is still on the scene and is supposed to <> with the antennae under Machina's direction.

Without showing himself on the <>, Ray threw a pebble the size of the tip of his thumb at the antenna and hit it.

"Oh!"

With that one hit, the antenna changed direction. Specifically, it turned upward.

Those who were watching were convinced that it would not be able to receive the magic wave well.

The antenna was not turned up because of the trouble with the antenna.

Trouble with the antenna does not necessarily mean that the problem will be solved immediately.

So, leaving the observation to the tireless golem, Makina decided to take this opportunity to explore the underground resources.

The people from various countries remain on board, watching Makina's work with great interest.

Makina moved to the foot of the unnamed mountain by <, descended for a short time to search for resources, and moved again ...... repeatedly.

In fact, they already know the location of the vein, so they are pretending to be looking for it.

<> 50 km southeast of the summit of the mountain ...... and about 70 km west of the town of Legorko.

"There is a vein of <> here."

"Oh!　Really!　I'm so glad to hear that!

First, Makina discovers a vein of Magi Crystals in the Principality of Mimaka.

"It's about 50 meters underground, so it's going to be a major construction project, but I'll help you."

"Thank you!

With this, a promising mine is developed in the Principality of Mimaka.

Next is the Principality of Dalat.

After four investigations, the fifth is completed.

"A vein of Magi Crystal has been found here."

"Oh!　There is a vein of magi crystals in our country?

The location is 50 kilometers south-southwest of the summit and 150 kilometers due north of the town of Somioshi on the South Coast Highway.

It is also about 50 meters below the ground.

<, there are veins of ore in a relatively shallow area, as if the had not piled up the soil.

And finally, the Principality of Norja.

80 kilometers northeast of the summit and 70 kilometers west of the town of Basisus.

"There is a vein of Magi Crystal about 80 meters below the ground."

"Oh!　Thank goodness for that!

Thus, a vein of magi crystals was found in each of the three duchies.

It has taken a day and a half so far.

* * * * * * * * * *

Then, on July 27th, there was a move.

Deus ex machina called out to the members of each country on board.

"Oh, is that ...... Golem?"

The screen showed two golems and two people who appeared to be technicians.

"It looks like the golem is carrying a package and the technicians are climbing up.

They didn't come by hot air balloon, Makina thought to herself.

Probably because they couldn't pinpoint a landing in such a small area as the summit.

"There's a mine in the middle of the mountain, so they must have used that as their base camp."

There is a mine at an altitude of about 1,500 to 1,800 meters above sea level, Makina said that by using the mine as a starting point, they would not have to go through the trouble of climbing up from the base of the mountain.

"You've brought repair tools."

It seems that the dents caused by the stones are repaired by hitting them with a wooden mallet.

（Makina thought to herself, "If only I could use forming, I could do it in one shot.

(It would have been easier to use the << Forming>> method.

After putting the antenna back in place, the technician checked the operation of the antenna and quickly went back to his office.

Makina and the others thought that he did not want to stay at the 3026-meter-high mountain for too long.

Makina and the others thought that they did not want to stay too long on the 3026-meter-high mountain.

"Well, it was definitely an antenna set up by the Principality of Jagus.

The engineers of the Principality of Jagus had repaired it, so there was no doubt about it.

"Well, I'm not going to give you our information since you've already given us the story. I'll give you false information instead."

Boon Sumia, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Principality of Mimaka, said with a sharp snort.

This has shown that the antenna was definitely installed by the Principality of Jagus, and that if it breaks down, a repairman will arrive within a couple of days.

Little by little, the level of technology and domestic control of the Principality of Jagus is being exposed. .......
