Over the capital, Lunatic Lake. The walls surrounding the castle are erected with barriers covering the sky to high heights, so they cannot be entered directly into the premises. So Garuda, who carries the wagon on which Mira and Cleos ride, descends into the castle gate square of Alkaite Castle.
Try it on the guards, it's a familiar sight already, stretching your spine that Cleos, the sage deputy, is here.
After Cleos came out on that street, the silver-haired girl also showed herself. The guards are only distracted for a moment, but when they realize that the girl is a disciple of Dumblrf the Wise, they re-correct her posture.
"Thanks, I'm so comfortable"
"Helpful, above all."
Mira looks up at Garuda and says, "Thank you, Lord, for your hard work." Garuda rang small to return if she understood the word.
"So, Master Mira. Take care."
"Mm-hmm. And your lord is firm."
Cleos wishes Mira well in her assignment, and Mira asks for the training of a new summoner. On the road in the sky, Mira was looking through and handing over what seemed like something she could use to fight for a contract in the demon seal blast stone she had taken out of the tower. That number is considerable, Cleos is very pleased and even more motivated today.
Mira enters the royal castle intact as she escorts Cleos back on the wagon and fly away towards the school. So he was guided by a samurai who had held him aside, and passed him to the information room behind the castle.
"Dear Mira. I've been waiting for you. Come on, come here."
Upon entering the library, Lily takes over from the samurai and leads the way further into the back.
The materials room is surrounded by white walls and the ceiling is high, with a blowout near the entrance, the back of which is divided into three layers. Metal grey shelves were arranged neatly, and various materials from around the world were kept separately by compartment.
Mira is led to the room behind her first glance. Solomon was waiting there one foot away.
"Good luck, I'll take care of it later"
"Yes, sir."
"Let me know what you think of your clothes later," Lily said as she left, thanking Mira well for her posture.
In the center of the room where Mira was guided, a fine wooden table was placed, where countless documents were arranged. Solomon spreads before Mira when he takes one of them.
"I'm sorry you came all this way. I could have just communicated, but the place is kind of in the place. First, look at this before the main thing."
With that said, Solomon covers the paper removed from his nostalgia over the document in front of him. It was like some kind of blueprint. of something that looked close to people.
"This is... what. Robots?"
"Well, I guess it's close to that. It's being developed under the name Protiandor."
"Hmmm... pro... tiandor's..."
Mira drops her gaze on the paperwork in front of her as she whines. There were two types of blueprints. The sizes and shapes are about the same, but the contents are much more complex on the right.
"Oh, by the way, the one on the left is called Strwart Doll, which is something that was developed over a decade ago."
"What, this one's different"
"Well, that's where the original form is. So, what I want you to see is the one on the right. Why did you come this time?"
"This way, you're a mess."
Solomon then provides a brief overview while arranging several materials.
"First of all, the Strwart Doll is an automatic doll created by the General Union of Craftsmen, citing the total power of magic guidance engineering. It's easy to tell if it's operated in a dangerous place or a place where people can't get around, and it acts like a robot in the original world."
To finish, Solomon points to the other blueprint.
"So, you're this way. Currently, the Protiandor under development has been adapted for combat using Strwartdor as the foundation."
"Is it a conversion? Well, anyway, how does that connect to why I was called?
From the point of view of Magic Conduction Engineering, Mira asks, wondering if it is related to refining again. Solomon then exhales one sigh as he lowers his eyebrow root just a little.
"Frankly, the development of Protiandor is lagging behind. In the first place, the development to convert Strwartdor to combat is something that we do in every country. I mean, just so we can fight normally. Then in the end, we're no match for a big country that can be numbered. I guess so much so that the craft lines up on the demon opponent's defense line. That's not convenient, but the extent to which it can be developed in any country will be known. So in the kingdom of Alkite, we decided to add value."
In fact, experiments have been carried out in various countries to adjust struwartdoles for combat use. Patrol personnel guarding the vicinity of the border or emergency combat forces. Furthermore, something specific to counterdemons has been developed and is working.
Even in the kingdom of Alkite, we have been working on it for a long time. But that direction is completely secret and development is underway in secret.
"Hmmm... surely anyone can think of nothing. So the call has something to do with its added value? Should I even refine it?
Value added. In other words, Mira deduced that refining would add an effect to something. But by contrast, Solomon shook his head sideways,
"No, refining doesn't matter. There's just a place near my next destination where I can pick what I need."
That said, add a list of materials written. There, quite a few were noted, but it is all unified with artefact related materials.
"This is top secret. And top secret.
Protiandor, which we are developing in this country, is designed on the assumption that we will exercise the technique (...). Now its final stage. Where the mechanism of incidence of surgery is assembled. So, there it is, glued. Thanks to the cooperation of Luminaria, I was able to incorporate the composition of magic, but I was unable to generate the magic of the heart.
This list is the result of various attempts. It barely got to the point of generating magic, but some of them reacted. "
Solomon points to one point on the list with his finger.
The name of the material written there is "Seeds of Brilliance," a special species that shines lightly, irrelevant and occasionally found from trees all over the world. It is compatible with all types of procedures and is used to create the foundations of various instruments. It is highly versatile and can be used as a substitute for some materials.
"Seeds of brilliance. This is the most common, and I was able to confirm the occurrence of magic. Nevertheless, the output is not far from being activated, and it's still far from practical."
That's all I hear, and some information connects in Mira's brain. The most powerful seed of brilliance on the list of materials tried. In Mira's memory, there was a material that could be considered to be at its top.
It's called "seed of the beginnings". It is a precious material that can be collected from the first great tree, Gopher, which is considered the ancestor of all the trees present throughout the world. The brilliant seeds that come from modern trees that have changed their appearance after a long time are, to say the least, like ancestral returns.
The seeds of the original ancestors contained condensed forces prior to fading, so much so that they were used in the creation of the finest instruments.
I mean, did you get the seeds from your ancestors?
With that said, Mira takes out the restricted area pass given to Leonil, the head of the sorcerer's union, and releases it on the paperwork.
Tendemon Labyrinth Primary Forest. Meaning is the original forest. As its name suggests, the labyrinth is full of far too ancient plants. And there are trees that are the ancestors of all trees.
"That's the thing. Looks like you got it right. I was going to ask you to look around, but this time I called because my destination overlaps, and I thought it would be just fine."
"I see. So, how did you solve the file?"
The case of Doyle, who made a major detour but is under development, is only the last of the main objectives of following Seoul Howl's footsteps. Mira stares at Solomon's newly presented material once she drives the matter to the corner of her head.
"According to that dossier, the Holy Grail of Divine Life and Glory was found to be an item to be created following several steps. But that doesn't seem to be something like collecting and producing materials. The reward for a long quest, something like that."
"Hmm...... There were all sorts of theories about the Holy Grail, but was it Quest?"
When it was still a game, there was much discussion about the Holy Grail of Divine Life and Glory. The most powerful was the reward of some quest, which must have been artifact or otherwise.
"Quest system to be exact... maybe a little different"
Solomon opens his mouth again as he meditates his eyes and organizes his words.
"This is like a special item that you collect for production systems, quest rewards, drops, and doesn't apply to all of them."
In the end, there is no word to describe the positioning of the Holy Grail of Divine Life and Light, and Solomon explained its particularity by pushing it forward.
First of all, the Holy Grail of Divine Life and Glow is an item to be created through many processes. However, it was not done using various techniques called production systems, but by performing many conditions.
As for the conditions, many have not yet been deciphered, but the first conditions were deciphered, so I contacted them.
"And the terms and conditions, what?
"First condition. It is the acquisition of the materials that form the basis of the Holy Grail. And there are conditions for that material, and it's called the root of the Michigi tree, which is over 3,000 years old. Nearby, to be exact, is the nearest catacombs in Seoul Howl, and speaking of the 3,000-year-old Miyagi tree."
"Above the primary forest. The Elder of the Prayer Child Forest... Is that why?"
Miyagi. It is a generic term for a special tree that has been worshipped as a god and that has become a place of divine power after a long time. After more than three thousand years of time, there are several other Kamiki present on the continent, but if Seoul Haul was based in a catacombs, he wouldn't have to bother to go far. Then you should head to the Prayer Child Forest, located southwest of the Kingdom of Alkite. And there also exists the Tendemon Labyrinth Primary Forest. That's why Solomon said he was just fine.
"That's the thing. It's my first destination, so I don't know if I'll be here anymore, but I might find some trace of it. There's a chance you can ask the elders something. So, when you get there, aren't you at the end of your eyes and nose anymore?
"Well, yeah. Even I protested why I didn't tell you when I came back."
"That's why, if I could, it would be helpful to have about ten of them for experimentation and spare, combined."
Solomon suggests a number that also takes into account failures, as it is still being experimented with. But in that number Mira gives an obviously troublesome look with a look on her face. That too should be true, the seeds of the original ancestors were valuable even at the time of the game, a material that even advanced players were prepared to trade at a price. Put that at ten, everyone in the Nine Wise Men would have looked disgusted, even if it wasn't Mira.
"What a lame order."
"As far as I'm concerned, people stopped dropping by because they designated a no-go zone, so I expected to find them quite a bit. If it's going to take days, maybe five."
"Not at all...... Well, well, let's try to gather as much as we can."
"Thank you. That'll help."
Mira answers that as well as thanking them for making high-performance clothes. Solomon places ten pieces of Mithril coins in front of Mira, to thank her.
"This is military funding for this one. When you have what you need on the road, procure it with this. If it's anything, you can buy a new replica. This is the capital, because besides the robes of the wise, there are replicas of the characteristic costumes you wore before."
Solomon laughs like a prank who says so. Mira finally understands the meaning of the smile that Solomon showed yesterday while saying she looked good in those words.
"Lord, you knew and kept your mouth shut."
"An apprentice who imitates his coveted master. Isn't she cute?"
"I don't need that impression!
The two of us start chasing each other around the table as we speak. The figure looked like a child as it seemed.
"Speaking of which. See, souvenirs."
When he finishes shaking all the way through, Mira says so, arranging the demonic sealed stones he brings from the tower on the table. That number is likely to reach a hundred, and Solomon happily takes out the bag and throws a demon sealing stone into it.
"Hey, thanks. With all this, you don't seem to be worried anymore. That would be really helpful. I just wanted to thank you, do you have any hope?
"I don't mind... I guess..."
As for Mira, she just said she brought it because her best friend needed it, but if she said she would, there's no reason to say no. So when I think about it, I immediately come up with something just right.
"Like a small carriage, what about a guy called a wagon? Cleos let Garuda fly. I just really wanted that. I heard it was made by a castle artisan."
"Is that it? Yeah, fine, fine. It's cheap. Any requests for upholstery or equipment?
"Hmm, a request..."
Mira asked how far she could go, and Solomon said and arranged everything she could.
After nearly twenty minutes of discussion, the general shape is shaped. With sturdy materials that are neither exposed nor freaked out by wind and rain, Mira conveys her hopes as far as she can about the interior.
At the end of the discussion, Mira was likely to be able to develop a variety of technologies beyond what she had expected, but also something extravagant in her mind. It's as if we're talking about creating a secret base, and it's also the result of the two of us getting on track. Once there was a great deal of time spent at the secret base, it would also be a factor that stopped the teething.
"This is going to be interesting."
"Um, I'm looking forward to it."
The two facing each other smile at each other with an innocent child-like look. The last time I see when it's done and how to contact it, Mira opens her mouth as if she remembers.
"Speaking of which, there are a lot of things going on. Mariana and Cleos, and I told Italy who I was."
"Oh well. I won't ask about that, but those three don't seem to have a problem. Okay, I get it."
Tower of Summoning, Assistant Mariana and Sage Substitute Cleos. And Luminaria's aide, Ritalia. There's no doubt about it. There are three people I can trust. Solomon immediately admitted to the rash, saying that I would tell him if there was anything I could do for him in the Dumblrf relationship.
"Dear Solomon, it's time"
"Um, okay"
When a man's voice arrives from beyond the door, he approaches the door and Solomon changes his voice color and returns it briefly. Solomon's work is naturally still there. The top-secret meeting with Mira was set to last up to an hour that I screwed in between. I have to go to my next job.
"It's early. I'll give you this one last time."
"Well, this is..."
Mira gently rolls a bunch of paper handed to Solomon, checking each piece.
"You didn't have it yet, did you? In the meantime, I've collected the ones around this country, so you should put them in the important items (...) section."
"Um, let me do that"
Nearly ten. That was a map around the kingdom of Al Qaeda. The forest of prayer children we are going to be heading for is included in it.
Mira tried to open the item on the map when she quickly put the map in the Important Things section of the item box. Above the bracelet, a map is projected as if there were a screen.
"This is not convenient."
"There must be a shop in the big city that deals with maps, so you can buy a map of the area there if you need it. Though we know the entire continent in general, it seems that without it, the journey will change completely."
As Solomon bundles the material he spreads to his desk, he remembers what he heard from a former player who is an adventurer and gives him a slightly nostalgic look. Thirty years I've spent as king. It was a long way from boring, but sometimes, driven by the urge to adventure the world. Listening to such stories from an acquaintance of former players who know what's going on with Solomon can be a great pleasure right now. Therefore, the conversation with Mira was a pleasure from the bottom of my heart.
"One more thing, this too"
That's what Solomon said. When he took something the size of which would fit in his palm from his nose, he offered it to Mira's front. It is a brilliantly designed metal plate, engraved with the national chapter of the kingdom of Alkite and the number of 9, the pattern of the ring, shining in silver.
"What's this?
I glance at it in my hand, and I turn it over as it is. The magic formation is engraved on the back and Mira tilts her neck even further.
"Art equipment or something?
Mira predicted from that magic formation, but Solomon shook his neck to the side,
"That's a medal. I thought I'd give you a medal for bringing home a lead on Seoul Howl, a key figure in the country."
With that said, Solomon joins his own hands in Mira's medal.
In the name of Solomon, I give thee this.
When the medal reacted to the words, the engraved magic formation glowed faintly.
"This is an intangible technique of possession. This medal is proof that I gave it to you."
"I see. But you can get a medal or something."
"I think this will help because it also means that your identity will be guaranteed by the Kingdom of Al Qaeda. If you need a proper identity for your upcoming assignment, such as collecting information or a destination, you should be able to accommodate it somewhat if you show it."
"Ho, you know what? Then let me use it in a meaningful way."
Mira nodded as if she was good at it, playing the medal over her palm.
"Well, then, go ahead. I'm looking forward to your souvenir."
"Um, I'm coming"
In Karanak, Mira has made a connection between a child named Tact and an guild named Ecalato Carillon. Next, Solomon looks a little envious to drop off the girl's back as she rocks her long silver hair and walks away dignified, looking forward to what she will get caught up in.
(I think I should use a makeup box too...)
"Dear Solomon. The emissary of the Holy Nation of Alice Farius has arrived."
"I'll be on my way"
Solomon, who answered so, has no more child-like atmosphere until just now, and his face as a king who has lasted thirty years.
You have to live up to your responsibilities.
When Solomon held the bound material aside, he left behind a quiet room that now made no noise.
