Magicraft Meister Part 3

The conversation between Jin, Markitas, Larva and others continues.

"Markitas, how do you feel about turning the world against you in order to reflect your ideas in reality?

Jin attempts to ask such a question in order to understand the danger of Markitas.

"...... is not logical. Considering the effort and materials that would be spent on it, we decide that it is not worth it."

"I see. ......"

Seeing Jin, Markitas seemed to have an idea what was going on.

"Jin-dono, by any chance, did my original do something like that?"

He has a very keen intuition,...... but he could have imagined that he might have done something like that too, if he had made a mistake.

"...... well, you know."

"I see. ......I've been a fool, haven't I?"

Markitas makes a scowl.

"I was halfway taken over by a <>, so I guess I can't help it."

"That being said, it's still frustrating."

Markitas asks a more in-depth question.

"What did my original do to you?"

"...... I am not sure if I am allowed to tell you that."

My lord, I will explain it to you.

Lao Tzu looked at Jin thoughtfully and said he would explain it for him.

"Then, will you do it for me?"

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

Lao Tzu ...... and Lao Kun have a good chronological summary of the events and are free to speak in sequence or to focus on a specific topic.

"First of all, in 3748 you split the <> into two and created the <>."

This Markitas' memory should only go back to the year 3746. The same is true for Larva, who stopped at that time. But Larva may have memories from the time he woke up again.

"<>?　I remember the ...... hmmm ...... concept. An organization that seeks to advance the art of magic and contribute to culture and civilization?

"...... No, sir."

"No?"

Lao Tzu explains to the dubious Markitas.

"I believe that the Federation of Magic has the slogan 'Let's shift from a material civilization dependent on science to a civilization based only on magic by training our spiritual powers.

Markitas, upon hearing this, looks even more skeptical.

"What is that?　Isn't it obvious that since ...... man has a material body, he must rely on matter?"

"...... you really think so?"

Lao Tzu asked back, his words were so .

"Well..." Lao Tzu replied. ......Did the original ...... slogan come from me, by any chance?"

"That's what I've been told."

"......"

Markitas held his head.

"I know that Lao Tzu-dono is not lying. ...... I've been a fool myself."

* * *

"......What can I say, you're very sane."

On Horai Island, Saki muttered with a look of dismay on her face.

. It seems that ordinary trans-info cannot transcribe the knowledge of a .

>are beings. Therefore, it seems that the magic that controls <> cannot do anything about it.

Perhaps even a <>. I can't test it now.

"But now the chances of Malkitas becoming an enemy are much smaller..."

Reinhardt said with a relieved look on his face.

* * * * * *

"After that, Lord Golbert Malkitas enlarged the League of Magic and brought the Kingdom of Elias under his influence."

Lao Tzu's explanation was in chronological order.

"He then ...... built up his army and attacked the island where his master's (Mylord) research facilities were located."

"I'm sorry for that ...... and I apologize on your behalf."

Incredulous, Markitas bowed.

"No, that's all right."

The old man then continued to explain the world situation.

"So ......<> has destroyed and set back our cultural civilization ......It is truly regrettable."

"Well, <> is working hard to get us moving forward again."

"I see, <> is ......"

I have studied the original of Malchitas, so I recognize <>'s ability.

And the story becomes the story of the continent of Pandor and the four duchies including the Duchy of Jagus.

"Hmmm ......< wonder what <am doing?　I can only say that you are an idiot."

"As for that, it must be the influence of the , so your consciousness itself must be different from yours now."

Lao Tzu appeases Markitas.

"...... my is not affected by the ?"

Markitas looks a little worried. But Lao Tzu said,

"It will be fine. < is like a . There is no way that the usual <> can be used to transfer it."

It is the original Markitas himself who transcribed the knowledge and personality of the original Markitas by <>.

< possessed him, the magical power of the original Markitas alone did not include , which means that he could copy the knowledge in his own brain, but not that of the .

"That is dangerous, so I checked it before transinfo," Lao Tzu said. <."

Jin assured him, and Markitas seemed relieved at last.

"...... that's good. I wonder if I, the duplicate and not the original, should be so at ease."

"...... That's fine.　The original must have suffered. I'm sure the original suffered too. I'm sure it was at the end of it all that they found peace.

"Is that so?"

"Is that so?" "Yes. I was there at the end of Guillermo Marchitas' life."

"............"

"I don't think that's something that Markitas needs to worry about right now."

He nodded.

"Thank you again."

* * * *

Reinhardt and Saki, who had been watching such a situation of Markitas on Horai Island, thought it was surprising, but the old man was not so surprised.

"At that time, Guillermo Marchitas' face was at ease.

"Well, I guess you could say that he had a hard life because of the spirit life form.

I can't help but feel a little sympathy for him, Saki said.

"Well, <> Markitas is, in a sense, the Markitas of >.

Reinhardt says.

"Yes, that's true. ...... Oh, what about <>?"

"What?"

"Larva usually does ...... something pretty bad, doesn't he?"

Saki is right, Larva must have been the mastermind behind various incidents.

"I think we should clarify that, don't you?"

The old man agrees.
