Magicraft Meister Part 4

Meanwhile, back in time.

< contacted Jin with the bracelet after Kondak's return.

"That's why it's ......."

<> still has some of the facilities from that time.

Yes.

What do you mean?

<

"Ah, yes."

<<<< even if it is from the time of the War of Magic, is it from the Dexiconai or from the Northerners?

"Certainly."

It could even be from the <<<< origin.

"Yes, it is."

<<

"Thank you, Jin."

<<

"I'm embarrassed to hear you say that. ...... anyway, please."

Such was the exchange.

* * * * * *

"My old man, check the area where Rhodes and his men are going to investigate and let me know if there are any dangers.

Yes, my lord.

And now, two general-purpose golems designed by Maricka ...... and manufactured by her apprentice ...... were investigating the mysterious facility.

The ...... old man has not reported to Jin, well, that's what it means. There is no imminent danger.

There was another door ahead of them.

It was almost rusty and somewhat creaky, but it was relatively easy to open.

And there it was: .......

This is ......

Pretty old, but a battle golem.

Ten golems that appeared to be battle golems.

Could they be from the War of Magic era?

Perhaps.

The two contacted Nikelis of the Puppeteers, indicating that this might be their destination.

> on the way.

The golem's exterior here seems to be made of steel, so it will corrode as it is transported.

Okay, I'll think of a way.

Okay.

"Hmmm......... you heard right, Rhodes. What do we do?"

"Ten golems. Ten golems. I'd love to get my hands on some. I'd love to have them. They might have valuable information.

"Yes, I'm sure there must have been a lot of ...... going on behind those clever hidden passages and hydrogen sulfide traps. But how are they going to get it out?"

"Well, we could get ......<>'s permission and transfer it from the other side, ...... or we could disable the hydrogen sulfide."

"Can you disable it?"

Hydrogen sulfide, H2S, is naturally occurring and there are several ways to remove it.

There are methods such as adsorption with activated carbon, reaction with ammonia to form ammonium sulfide and water, and neutralization with slaked lime.

"Well, I don't think we'll be able to ...... nullify it anytime soon."

"I guess so."

Then it's a transfer magic circle. You are the head of the clan, right?

Yes. I'll ask Kondak. I just had something I wanted to ask him for.

And so, once again, Kondak was transferred to the clan leader.

I see..." * * *

"I see, so that's how it is."

After the transfer, Kondak consulted with Sion.

Sion had been a member of the <> for many years and was of high standing in the <>, and was one who had such discretionary authority.

"Only ten of those golems?　Is there anything else you want to take out?"

No, that's what he said.

Okay. I'll allow it.

Thank you.

"......, I'll give you a simple transfer magic circle."

Zion opened the lock on the back shelf and took out a roll of leather paper.

It was a rather large piece of paper, about A1 in size.

"It comes in pairs, so just spread them out and fix them on the ground. You can use this."

Kondak pushes it to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Zion!

"After you've sent the 10 of them out, you can dispose of them.

"I'll let them know. Also, he wants to send one person who is familiar with geology ...... rocks and minerals.

"Okay. ...... Kondak, can you take it with you once you leave and come back again?

I'll be fine.

Yes. Then deliver the transfer magic circle first. In the meantime, I'll call someone from our side.

Yes, I will.

Kondak received the transfer magic circle and rushed back to Rhodes and the others.

"You have my permission, sir."

"Oh, yes!

"And I also got this for you."

Kondak presented Rhodes with a piece of leather paper with a magic circle on it.

"Oh, this is good.

The leather paper was magically treated so that it would not be affected by hydrogen sulfide.

Nikelis, the <>, then instructs the two generic golems to have one of them come back.

Roger that. I'll be right back.

The generic golem <<1> is to return.

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

After a short rest, Kondak transfers to Zion once more.

"Here you are. I've sent for someone who knows about ...... stones. He should be here soon. How about a cup of tea while we wait?

"Thank you."

I drank the tea that Zion had made for me and waited for five minutes.

"You wanted to see me, Mr. Theon?"

A man who looked a little older than Rhodes and Condak came in.

He had gray hair and gray eyes, and did not look like he belonged to the Shinra or Kugutsu clans.

"Ah, you're here. ...... Kondak, let me introduce you. This is Atkins. He's a geologist."

Atkins of Divergence.

This is Kondak from Shinra.

They shook hands.

So, Atkins, you know what's going on?

"Yes, I do. I heard from the messenger who came for you.

Yes. That's why I need you to go with Condak to the abandoned mine on the Siton River.

Yes, sir. Mr. Kondak, I'm counting on you.

Yes, I'll take care of it.

Atkins was no different, and he and Kondak immediately set out for the site.
