Magicraft Meister Part 3

The leftmost tunnel. It was also the largest tunnel.

Therefore, the tunnel is long and intricate.

The two bodies went deeper and deeper.

What?　This is .......

I hear something.

There is a faint noise coming from the back.

A sound so faint that it can barely be heard by Golem's hearing.

Either it's very faint, or it's far away. .......

and brace themselves and proceed cautiously.

Oh, this is ......

...... miners' golem.

At the back of the tunnel, more than a dozen miner golems were hard at work.

The main ore mined was light silver, but adamantite was also mined on rare occasions.

The mined ore is transported by a transfer magic circle.

At first glance, there seemed to be nothing strange ......, but <> noticed something unusual.

The destination of that transfer magic circle is not inside this base.

What?　...... mmm, that's right. Where the hell are they going?

Isn't this the home base of the enemy who trashed ......?

That's a reasonable assumption.

But there is no way to know for sure.

More precisely, there is no way to know for sure without being noticed by the enemy.

And that's a good thing, isn't it?

It can't be helped. Let's leave it as it is for the time being.

* * * *

and had no way to confirm it without being noticed by the enemy, but it is different on Horai Island.

<

The old man thought that they would be able to hide behind the ore and sneak into the mysterious enemy's stronghold.

< on standby.

At the request of the old man, they used the warp gate on the and returned to Horai Island.

<

The old man explained to them.

It took only a moment because he used instead of orally.

<

"Understood."

The five shinobi that will be sent out this time are << and the following five up to the corporal. The five from Riku to Jyu are on standby.

<

I'm on my way.

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

So this is the Oeste 3 underground.

There are indeed piles and piles of ore.

Shinobu Ichi and the others observed the mining operation from a short distance away.

When a certain amount of ore is accumulated, it is carried to the transfer magic circle. When the golem is outside of the transfer magic circle, the trigger magic is given, the magic circle is activated, and the ore is transferred. ......

Shinobu Ichi observes and comes to a conclusion.

There is a time lag of about four seconds between the delivery of the ore and its transfer. That's enough time to blend in.

Roger that.

Shinobi 1 and 2 had such a meeting.

Okay, we'll blend in with the ore at the next opportunity. <

Yes, sir!

After a brief discussion, the five bodies, at the right moment, climbed on to the transfer magic circle together with the ores.

* * * * * *

In an instant, their vision changed and the five shinobi were in a large warehouse with the ore.

They left the place before the ore was carried away with them, and went to the wall.

It is difficult to observe the area near the wall, but this is hostile territory. First of all, we decided to observe there with caution.

The golem carries the transferred ore to the site and sorts it out......? That's a normal scene.

But that golem doesn't have four arms.

You're right. Which means that the golem here is not, at the very least, an "invader" of the "Origin.

It's also possible that it was designed by a different designer.

Yeah, I suppose so. It's not a good idea to assume anything now.

The Shinobi Forces have decided to change their position.

They moved along the wall and observed from the other side of the warehouse.

Still nothing unusual was observed.

All right, let's get out of this warehouse. We're going to see where the ore is being transported to.

Probably a smelter.

That's right. From there, the refined metal will be taken to a storage facility or a processing plant. We need to find out where it's being processed.

Yes, sir!

The Shinobi troopers follow the golem as it carries the ore along the wall.

Hmm, the walls and ceilings in this passageway seem to be white. ......

Is this the first generation of the originals?

Perhaps. ...... No, it's too early to tell.

Shinobu Ichi reminded himself that it was too early to draw any conclusions.

<

Ichi said to himself.

"Hmm, <>....... It's a very difficult color to judge.

<>

The actual colors used are slightly grayish white, matte black, and silver-gray.

The overall appearance is whitish, but I don't think that this is what was intended.

"The whiter the white, the better the lighting effect."

It is the same as the walls of a tunnel on a motorway, which look brighter when they are white.

"In any case, it looks like the style of <> or not."

"......mm, I agree with Jin-dono."

<>Turles agreed with Jin.

"I think that this style was developed and adapted from the technology and culture of the .

"I see.

The old man also agreed with Turles.

"Like a descendant, an apprentice ......."

"Yes, I suppose you could say that.

"And that's what ...... is, isn't it?"

I can't say for sure, we don't have enough information yet.

I guess so. ......

Jin and the others decided to wait and see. .......

* * * *

<

This is where we can get some information.

We can learn what kind of materials our unknown opponent is using," said Shinobi Ichi.

So we took advantage of the time between deliveries to investigate.

It took about five minutes.

In four minutes, we'll stop the investigation and take shelter by the back wall. Understood?

Yes, sir.

The five of them disperse into the warehouse to examine the materials.

Four minutes later.

How'd it go?　Mine was all steel ingots.

Mine was light silver.

I also found light silver.

I've got mithril silver and adamantite.

Copper, tin, zinc, lead.

I see. Let's do two more.

Roger that.
