Magi Craft Meister

"Now, please."

Late on the 9th, Old Man sent Shinobi and Shinobi out on the forwarder.

There is no distinction between day and night between Golem and old you. I don't know if I'm going to sneak in. Because it's deep in the ground without the sun.

"Nevertheless, if you are an organism, you will need a unit called 'A Day', and it makes sense to match that to a day on the planet."

The time has changed to ten days in Penglai. It's around 11: 00 p.m. on the 9th in the El Rado mine.

The two sent bodies immediately expanded 'Invisibility' and disappeared.

Naturally, the room where Command 2 installed the marker on the way out. You were right about the empty room and the old man.

"At least now it looks like an unused room."

Immediately after the old man, who obtained visual information from Shinobu, decided so, his vision darkened.

'What is it!?

Old man asked Shinobu, who was vigilant around him, to check on Shinobu.

Then, a hemispherical metal structure about a meter in diameter was seen lying down where Shinobu should have been. Shinobu immediately moves to the ceiling, dives into the corner and peers around.

Its metal structure appears to be misrilled silver or similar material, and Shinobu seems to be standing still without being forced.

'... Again, were you watched? So, you waited with a trap.'

Even if it was seen, it would have been a short time of 0 commas, no matter how many seconds, but that I spotted what had happened in such a short time and prepared this trap.

"You're the one who can't be insulted."

Old man thought, when this happens, let's go in the direction of seeing who the other person is. Instruct Shinobu to stand still.

At the same time, Ninja was ordered to continue to observe as much as possible.

If you look closely at who was wearing the metallic hemisphere, it's a golem-like presence with an outer covering of metal.

If it were a golem, it would mean that it also has an eye that sees an area equivalent to Jen's golem, apart from the considerable reaction speed and the visible light area.

but he didn't notice the ninja sticking to the ceiling, so he didn't have any other way of detecting it than vision.

When Shinobi looks at how he intends to take out the Shinobu in the "Down in the Lower" if he likes, he uses the engineering magic "Deformation (Forming)", and while the Shinobu is trapped inside, didn't the hemisphere turn into a sphere?

"I see, that's helpful"

Old man was impressed by their means, saying they could also be applied to security on Penglai Island.

At the same time, we renew our perception that we are still an unafraid enemy. And check out this reflection.

("Did you underestimate the other guy?... No, no more caution with the technology you can have now... then maneuver? However, we also need to hurry to gather information… ')

There is no particular way to deal with these opponents, and none of them have any experience. It's the only thing I can theoretically pack.

('If your opponent is, at least, comparable here, you're out at the time they set the trap. Then you will have to take this situation backwards to get as much information about them as possible')

The existence of the earliest 'ultra-compact golem' has been known. If so, Old Master concluded that he moves to obtain information about the other party while avoiding giving the other party any further information.

In the meantime, the spherical metal trap is carried by the hand of the mysterious golem. Ninja was tracking it about ten meters away.

Golem went inside as he proceeded through the aisle and opened the door of the impinging room. The door closes and Shinobu can't see what's going on inside anymore.

'It's a waste of time even when you're doing that there. Observe elsewhere.'

Old man gave such instructions.

Following that, Ninja decided to try to proceed with the branch that was halfway through the aisle.

Walk to the edge of the floor to be as discreet as possible. 'Invisible', of course.

As it was, Shinobu went down the aisle.

Shinobu, on the other hand, who was transported into the poking room, felt the metal that had covered his surroundings suddenly disappear.

No, it didn't exactly disappear, 'deformation (forming)' made the sphere planar.

Shinobi did not wander, but looked at the opportunity.

Its body suddenly gets heavy. It would be gravitational magic, because the weight of a hundredfold made Shinobi incapable of moving.

"Hmm, is there a technician who can make a precise golem like this"

There are those who peeked into such a ninja and leaked a whine.

Its appearance, captured at the edge of a broad field of view, is a face that resembles No. 700672. But.

(Automatic Doll (Automata) ……?)

It was discovered that it was not biological, it was non-biological, and at a glance it was an automatic doll (automata).

"Can you speak?

The question was thrown, but the intention was not grasped, and Shinobi decided to keep silence.

"Hmm, are you on guard? Then let's do it. Until we dismantle you and extract the information from that control nucleus."

If that happens, information about Jen and Penglai will be known. Without hesitation, Shinobu used the transfer device.

No matter how many Gs are hung, the transfer device has no effect.

In front of the mysterious Automata, Shinobu disappeared.

"He said he disappeared!? Is it equipped with a transfer device…. That's probably about as much technology as Jin Nido, known as Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz."

That's how the mysterious Automata concluded.

Shinobu heard that Shinobu escaped from you.

'Be vigilant about it, there may be no next. You must avoid being informed about your husband (My Road). On the other hand, we need as much information about them as possible. Please try to gather some more information. And if you get caught, and you can't escape...'

The old man cautioned you to activate another defensive function, Self Destruction.

Shinobi proceeded along the aisle, even on top of caution.

Since it is 5 cm tall, its speed of progression will be insignificant if it proceeds slowly.

For now, the visual information has been sent to you without any problems, so it became certain that the structure of the aisles and rooms was of the same technical lineage as No. 700672.

"But that was an automatic doll (automata), not an artificial human (homunculus). What the hell happened? '

Old Master, the brainchild of Penglai Island, speculates on several reasons for this.

1. It is an automatic doll (automata) that resembles only the appearance.

2. It is a remotely operated automatic doll (automata), like an old child or a maquina.

3. The manufacturer preferred automatic puppets (automata) rather than artificial organisms.

4. For some reason, the original body could no longer be maintained and consciousness was transferred to the automatic doll (Automata).

So far, there are four of the hypotheses put forward by Old Man.

('Is it salvation that there is a small possibility of hostility')

Since there is no reason why we should be hostile to Jen or Penglai Island, we can determine that the urgency is low so far.

('Again, you may need to check with No. 700672')

At that time, Shinobu sent me an unexpected image.

It happened that a nearby door opened and he could glance inside the room.

Just one golem came out.

('Is that... Alshell!?

In the room were confirmed a few 'things' of what appeared to be Alshell.

"Into that room! Use the Force Generator!

Old man gives instructions to be aggressive. Shinobu used the "Force Generator" as he was told, and literally jumped inside that room.

('This is...')

What you saw through the eyes of Shinobu is an artificial human (homunculus) manufacturing plant.

A thin blue liquid filled the transparent vessel, and something of a human shape floated in it.

Some of them clearly look just like Arshell, and Old Master decided that all of these were artificial humans (homunculus) made to imitate Arshel.

('This mystery… relevance must be revealed at all costs')

Once again, Penglai's magic leader, Old Master, worked out a plan to gather information.
