2703 - - 72-23 Information from Conversation

< is still going on.

This magical brain, which has passed through time in a normal state, is a treasure trove of information.

Jin and the others took this opportunity to ask him about some questions they had been having.

Specifically, ask Marikka in Horai Island. This is the most polite way to get an answer.

"Why did you build an underground city here on the Rasheel continent in the first place?

< and the , while the continent of Gondor is inhabited by the .

The majority of the current human population of Ars is descended from the , the inhabitants of Mitsho and Huso are from the , and Marikka, Zion, and the other are descended from the .

"You mean that they were divided?"

in a small space underground as you know that the concentration of is low in this continent.

"It would be very difficult to increase the concentration of free magic element (ether) in the entire continent.

"I see what you mean. I understand.

At this point, Jin asked a question.

"Do you know about the Aether Stampede that occurred about 750 years ago?

"What about it, Jonathan?"

<

"Is that so?

<

This is done by using magic rays with special wavelengths and waveforms.

At this time, mana is also decomposed back into free magic element (ether), which is fatal to highly dependent life forms.

However, the conversion to energy is relatively slow, so that phenomena such as explosions do not occur.

It diffuses as light over time.

< (now Turles), a created by the . The incomplete homunculus, <>, created by <> (now <>Turles>), also possessed this technology.

Therefore, it is not surprising that all of the <> and their creatures know about the <>.

It is not difficult to defend against <<<< Aether Stampede because the speed of the chain reaction is relatively slow. But on the other hand, since it is triggered suddenly, it is often too late to defend against it.

"That's new to me. Can you tell us more about it?

> can be activated in 0.1 second, but its propagation speed is only 10 meters per second in the beginning. per second, slowing down inversely with distance. And the distance reached is proportional to the initial amount of activation magic power.

"Is that so?"

"A million magical powers?"

"Marijuana and magical power (mariki)... ...... is complicated, isn't it?"

< is not a unit we usually use>>.

That's true, thought Jin D, who was listening at the side.

It is complicated, but we do not invoke magic with < in mind at every moment.

Jin decided to let go of the idea that this was a unit unique to the .

<

So, Jin and the others in Horai Island asked Marikka to ask Marikka about various things for their future use.

<>.

"Magi Shield?"

>

Listening to Jonathan's explanation, it seemed that the <> was of the same quality as the <> used by Jin and the others.

<>, it is possible to force them to stop.

This is a countermeasure that takes advantage of the fact that the propagation speed of <> is not very fast.

It is a countermeasure to force <> to end by consuming free magical elements (ether) in the vicinity faster than the propagation speed.

"Oh, I see. It's like a firebreak."

In short, it is a way to create an empty zone of free magic element (ether) in the propagation path.

"After all, only the who developed the < could do that. It seems that they have thought of solutions and countermeasures.

Jin was impressed, saying that he had a lot to learn in this respect.

Turles D again asked a question.

"How did you prepare for threats?　It seems to me that you are not prepared for foreign enemies.

"Jonathan, how are you doing?"

<

Why is that?

Hearing this, Jin of Horai-jima remembered the word "Yabusake".

<

"So that's what you thought."

Jin and the others on Horai Island could not decide which was better or worse.

* * * * * *

"By the way, does <> know about the time when <> modified Ars?"

Jin D asked. Marikka immediately encouraged him.

"Do you, Jonathan?"

"I see. ......"

No, it is not your responsibility.

I had hoped that since I had accumulated a considerable amount of information, I might be able to unravel the technology if I knew what happened when the superheavy material was placed at the center of Ars, but this did not come true.

"Still, we learned quite a lot of things, didn't we?"

On Horai Island, the members of the were discussing.

"This means that another <> facility is now under Marikka's control.

"Thank you.

The three <> are controlled by the old man, and Jin, Marikka, and Turles are talking with other members of the family.

"Now all we have to do is to set up the warp gate and we can go there anytime we want."

"Yes. We'll also need a communication device.

I'd like to go there myself after I get through quarantine.

I'd like to go myself.

During this conversation, Reinhardt changed the subject.

"There's one more facility, I don't know if it's ......, but it's supposed to be west of the Rasheel continent. We'll have to settle that as well."

"Indeed, Reinhardt is right. In a way, they may be the most belligerent.

They're the kind of guys who'd chop off a golem's legs if they saw you. We should be very careful.

"I'll have to get some more information on that from <>."

That's what happened.
