Magicraft Meister Part 4

On April 5, the same day that Deus ex Machina was relaying the status of the discovered in the , an underground facility located between the Laurent and Gondor continents was also being surveyed.

An investigation of underground facilities on , located between the Laurent and Gondor continents, was also underway.

On the 4th, a report was made to the and the policy was endorsed.

Reinforcements arrived the same day before noon.

From the Nordic Federation, the Rhodoth, the Kondak, and the Momoko.

From the Kingdom of Klein, Ritz Lakka, Chief of the 3rd Technical Department of the Ministry of Magic and Technology.

From the Kingdom of Franz, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, Folz Engal.

"Well then, I am pleased to take over as the leader of the survey team.

Rhodoth declares.

The Nordic Federation, and a facility from the time of the <>, is not sure how the Laurentians will react if they are conspicuous.

The recent outburst at Fort Lutgra is fresh in our minds.

Everyone who participated in the survey knew this, so they nodded silently at Rhodoth's declaration.

"Then we will begin our investigation.

Rhodes, as the leader, changes his tone from polite to normal.

"Momoko, check the hatch."

"Yes, sir."

Rhodes ordered Momoko, the lightest of the group.

Momoko jumped down near the hatch and carefully examined it.

The opening/closing device was immediately recognizable, but it took some time to check for traps.

The method Momoko used this time was to hack into the magical circuits of the switchgear.

It takes time to synchronize the magical wavelengths, but once they are synchronized, the rest is easy and reliable.

The hatch is round and about 70 cm in diameter. In addition to the magical lock, there was a mechanical lock that could be easily released from the outside.

"There is no danger. I'm going to open it now."

"Okay."

< type of barrier means that the mechanism inside is still alive, so we must be very careful.

Momoko slowly opens the hatch.

No particular trap is triggered, and a round vertical hole opens.

No air is gushing out or being sucked in, indicating that the pressure inside is maintained at one atmospheric pressure.

Inside the chamber, an > is attached, and it is dimly lit.

A ladder was attached to the wall of the pit.

"Okay, let's go inside.

Be careful.

Yes, sir.

Momoko went down the ladder.

A minute later, she came back up the ladder and reported.

"The interior is air-conditioned and there is breathable air. The temperature is 18 degrees Celsius, about 5 degrees higher than outside.

"I see. Okay, let's go a little further. Let's send the support golem with you.

So, a Nordic Golem made by the Nordic Federation also descended the ladder with Momoko.

At Horai Island, the old man was observing the situation.

The Shinobi Unit from 1 to 5 were dispatched to the island.

Incidentally, they are carrying ultra-compact Magi Emulators on their backs, which emit the same magic patterns as those of Rhodes.

In other words, they are disguised as the same kind as Momoko.

< like boundary, communication by will not be possible from inside the facility.

It would be possible to pull out the antenna to the outside of the by wired communication, but this method cannot be used this time because of the presence of the survey team around the facility.

<, but it has not yet been developed for use by Shinobi Forces.

The first to fourth shinobi will disappear by and secretly watch over the investigation team.

The survey team was led by Momoko down the ladder and into the interior. A golem made by the Nordic Federation followed.

They descended into a cylindrical room, three meters in diameter and three meters high.

"There's a trap. ....... We seem to have been admitted.

Momoko knows the magic pattern of this base because she hacked it earlier.

Following the magic, she detected what looked like sensors under the floorboards.

"It seems to be an intruder ......, or rather, something that roughly examines the magic pattern of visitors."

Momoko's magic pattern is the same as that of her creator, Rhodes, i.e. .

If this base was built with Nordic priority, then it's no wonder that nothing is happening.

"But I don't think it will end there.

The cylindrical room where Momoko and the others are staying has only one door.

There is what looks like an open/close switch on the side, so it should be possible to open it.

Momoko braced herself and pressed the switch.

The door opens without activating any particular trap.

It slides open, creating an opening about two meters high and ninety centimeters wide.

"Let's go."

Momoko stood first and stepped through the opening. The Nord Golem followed.

The place where they stepped into was a cube-shaped room about three meters in length, width, and height.

Momoko found that there were identification sensors and traps in this room as well.

"So far, it seems that they are letting us through unconditionally."

Momoko and the others continued on to the next room.
