On December 8, 3458, a special was held at the that Jin had seized.
The deus ex machina invited the leaders of the world.
Jin cooperated with the meeting, as it was supposed to be.
Makina played a leading role in this event.
Considering the future, he has created a special magical brain for Makina and entrusted its operation to him.
< is an independent magic brain, it is under the control of the who is the head of Horai Island.
"You have found a great thing, ......."
Gerhard Hilde von Rubies, the Shoro Imperial Princess, exclaimed in admiration.
"No, indeed. I didn't know there was anything like this in the south. ......"
Cesar Valois de Cerlois, King of the Kingdom of Cerlois.
"Mmm, this is truly amazing."
King Harold Luan Autoclase of the Kingdom of Egelea also expressed his admiration.
"This is also, what can I say ......".
King Alois III of Klein was absolutely thrilled.
"I am as much in awe as you are," said the Dauphin Elias.
The one who is exclaiming is Alphonse, the Dauphin of Elias.
"I never thought such a thing existed in this world."
Lotharus de Lafayette, King of the Kingdom of Franz, was also astonished.
In a world where large wooden vessels were finally being built, this huge all-metal structure was far beyond anything that could be imagined.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome!
A deus ex machina voice rang out.
Everyone turned their heads in that direction.
"I will now begin the explanation.
After confirming that the five-colored golem maids brought by Jin had prepared chairs and that everyone had sat down on them, Makina continued.
"I have been exploring in the south where free magical element (ether) is scarce, and I found such an ancient relic (artifact). It was badly damaged, but with the help of Jin-dono, we were able to repair it and move it here.
is at 50 degrees west longitude and 10 degrees north latitude. This is the sea west of the Elias Peninsula.
The depth of the water is about 100 meters, which was suitable for anchoring the base.
"This artificial island is 2 kilometers in diameter. It can sail at speeds of up to 10 kilometers per hour.
Oh," he said.
"The inside of the island was damaged so much that we haven't been able to repair it, but we think that we can develop it from now on.
Makina explains that they will be able to make improvements as needed.
"Fortunately, we have a lot of waste materials from repairs, and we can recycle them using engineering magic, so we don't have to worry about running out of materials. We don't have to worry about fish food since we are surrounded by the sea.
The leaders nodded to each other.
"You can use engineering magic to build buildings on this deck, or you can use the empty rooms inside. We would like to use this artificial island for the benefit of mankind.
Makina looks around once more at the leaders. They all seem to have no objections.
"I think it would be a good idea to set up a to hold the world congress and the headquarters of the <> here."
There were no objections to this statement.
After a short pause, Makina continued.
"For now, we have placed this island in this area because it is easy to fix, but if you think there is a better place, please let us know.
But no one speaks up.
That is true. <, you will not be able to give your opinion unless you are familiar with the undersea conditions.
"Thank you for agreeing with me. Now, let me give you a brief tour of the interior of this artificial island.
As soon as Makina said this, the heads of state stood up and followed her with their guards.
Yes. I'd be very grateful if you could make this work the way we want it to.
"It will be fine. The old man assured me.
Yes, he did.
This is a story with little disadvantage to each country.
In addition, if they do not accept this offer, this mighty artificial island will remain in the hands of a deus ex machina.
The old man's view was that the leaders of the world would not remain silent on this matter.
"If they approve it, we will have a gift for them.
"Yes, that's right.
I'm sure you're right.
About three hours later, the leaders returned from their tour of the artificial island.
"Thank you for your hard work.
Jin thanked them for their hard work and ordered the five-colored golem maids to prepare tea for them.
"Ah, it was a tiring but worthwhile time.
"Mmm. I'm looking forward to the future.
"Just the fact that this base won't belong to any particular power makes it worthwhile to have the world conference here."
Everyone is talking freely, and from what I can hear, they have a good grasp of what is going on.
At this point, Jin decided to make a final announcement.
"Gentlemen, I have a proposal of my own.
At this statement, everyone stopped talking and turned to Jin.
"I think the problem with setting up the headquarters of the and the here is the traffic.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"So, as for myself, if the headquarters of the is to be located here, I have a plan to provide each country with an airship of the same type as the <, with a pilot. With a pilot, of course."
This statement caused a stir among the participants.
< is 200 kilometers per hour, which means that each country will be able to arrive here within a day.
"Jin-dono, is this true?"
Prime Minister Shoro asked urgently.
"Yes. We had materials on this artificial island, so it was just a matter of time and effort.
This is actually incorrect. Some rare materials were brought from Horai Island.
However, since I would have been pestered about the source of the materials if I told them, I decided to conceal the fact this time.
Even so, Jin who obtained the fragments of the long-period planets has more materials than he can use.
He also intended to use them at a time like this.
Six airships were moored at the edge of the man-made island, one for Klein, one for Egelea, one for Elias, one for Franz, one for Cerroa, and one for Shoro.
An automaton of the same model as Edgar, who had recently become an accomplished pilot, was given as a pilot, and a golem of the same model as Smith, a craftsman, was given as a mechanic.
Of course, since they are detuned, their performance is slightly inferior to the originals.
Even so, they have a performance that ordinary automata and golems would not have a problem with.

"Then, tentatively, I hereby declare the establishment of the <> and the <> headquarters, <>!
Deus ex machina declared in front of the heads of state and government.
Avalon, by the way, is an island that appears in the legend of King Arthur.
This, Jin thought, was a great step forward in uniting the human race.
"We can look to Hale with no regrets."
The sky was almost dark, and the brightest star was shining.
