Jin, who had received the title of "Magecraft Meister" in the Shoro Kingdom, had returned to Horai Island that night.
And he was discussing the plan he had been working on for some time with the old man who was the brain behind the magic of Horai Island, Jin's masterpiece automata Reiko, and Anne who was an automata created during the time of the Great Magickal War.
"Reiko, what do you think?"
Reiko, what do you think?" asked Jin, who had worked for the previous generation.
"Yes, I think it's a very good idea."
What about Anne?
Yes, I think it's a good idea.
"I see. ......"
Jin's idea. It is a plan to open the sacred place of magical engineering to the public beyond the framework of the nation.
The previous Magecraft Meister, Adriana Barbora Zetsi, had a dream to make Horai Island a sacred place of magical engineering.
However, this dream was never realized, and Adriana died in disappointment.
One thousand years later, the second generation, Jin, had decided that he would one day carry on the legacy of his predecessor.
At that time, unlike his predecessor, the island of Horai, where he is now, has been uplifted by tectonic movements, has become wider, and with Jin's knowledge, has become one of the most powerful military forces in the world.
It is extremely dangerous to open this place to the public.
So, we discussed the possibility of officially opening the Kunlun Island to the public, which had previously been finished as a dummy of Horai Island.
"But how about the Kunlun Island?
"What?"
Anne suddenly raised an objection.
"From what I've heard, even the Kunlun Islands are far beyond the standards of today's world."
Well, that's true.
"If it were open to the public, who knows what kind of people would come and go. A too high level of technology can lead to envy and conflict."
"I see. ......"
There will always be a monopolistic person in any country, organization, or even individual.
The technology and materials in Horai Island and Kunlun Island are coveted by many countries.
It is not surprising that they would tend to give priority to their own interests.
"I think that your idea of creating a sacred place for magical engineering is wonderful in itself.
Anne prefaced her remarks with this, and then began to express her thoughts.
"Due to the magical wars, the culture and civilization of the world today has regressed compared to what it was 300 years ago. The Unifiler's mission was to return the world to the level it was before the war. However, the world of 300 years ago is not necessarily all that great. Therefore, leaving it to the Unification Party (Unifiler)...... of today to look back on the past, I think that you should think about the future.
"The future, or ......."
I understand what Anne is trying to say. Jin-san does not necessarily have to try to do the same things as his predecessors. The historical background is different.
"Then, what should we do? ......"
The old man has a good point. But the question is whether there is such a place.
>.
"What?"
The old man's outlandish remark took Jin by surprise. However, there is an example of an intermediate base < of a warp gate. It is not such a ridiculous story.
No country would go to the trouble of claiming its own territory at the bottom of the ocean. There is no way to use it in the first place.
"What?"
This time Jin was surprised. How could such a large object float in the air? But Jin, as expected, soon got over his surprise and understood what the old man meant.
"I see. You are making progress in analyzing gravity magic, aren't you?"
I think it's too much of an exaggeration, and I don't think launching a space station out of the blue is a good idea either.
"Why not on a big ship?"
Reiko asked his opinion, but the old man denied it.
"Oh, yes, that's right. ......"
If it shakes, it is impossible to do precise research. Therefore, the ship idea is a dead end.
The place you mentioned "further north" is, after all, the land of the demon tribe. It is certainly not the territory of any country, but it would not be realistic.
With the key word "land of the demons", the old man has come up with a new candidate.
"Where?"
"Ah, there it is. ......"
I followed a demon tribe, <>, who had been in the service of Count Walter, a nobleman of the Kingdom of Klein, and that's where I found out about it.
The kingdom of Leonard, which was supposed to have existed there, had long since been destroyed.
<
"Hmmm, well, ...... before that, how did the Kingdom of Leonard fall?"
The 5th column (Quinta) was sent to investigate the situation.
It is not only the destruction of a country but also the disappearance of its people. War, plague, massacre ...... are some of the possibilities, but none of them would have resulted in such a thorough destruction.
.
"What?"
The old man says that the disappearance is like a group of people emigrating to some other place.
"Did you hear anything from the people who stayed behind?"
<<
The investigation into the cause of the destruction of Leonard's kingdom seems to have reached an impasse.
"We should avoid setting foot in the old Leonard Kingdom until we know the cause.
"Let me see the map, please.
At Ann's request, the old man projected the current map on the magic screen on the wall.
Anne, who was staring at the map, pointed at a point and said, "What about here?
"What about here?"
The sea to the east of the Kingdom of Leonard is dotted with small islands. Anne pointed to one of these islands. It is clearly within the territory of the former Leonard Kingdom, and its size is reasonable, about the size of the Kunlun Island.
<
The Penglai and Kunlun islands are located on the Tropic of Cancer, and their climate is similar to the Tropic of Cancer.
"Hmmm, would it be best to develop it and make it a ?"
.
The old man finally agreed with me.
"Good. Then, let's leave the island of Horai as it is now, with only my <> allowed to enter. The Kunlun island will be treated as a villa. And that island ......, let's call it <>.
Fuso is another island where legendary hermits live.
<
"Yes, please make sure that the site is large enough from the beginning so that we can expand it later. Also, please consider the location of the site so that we can build ships and other things.
<<
"Yes, that's right. And I will also prepare a full-time golem.
Jin decided on the general plan and left the details to the old man and Ann.
The new era of magical technology would soon be upon us.
Jin looked out the window of the institute and saw the dawn sky spreading out and smiled, "We are going to be busy again from now on.
