"Oh, you made it, Gran."

"It is worth a try, Mr. Ars. We were able to change the material of the magic doll from rock to hardened brick, that we did.

"Great. Hardened brick is much harder than normal rock. You'd think it was metal. And it's whitish in color, so it might be easier to use as a body than the rocks we've been using.

"No, that is not all, that it is not. The fact that we can change the material of the magic doll to hardened bricks means that we can also use it as a magic weapon, that we can. It can be made larger, that it can.

"Larger magic weapons?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, that it is. The magical weapons developed so far in Briaria had a disadvantage, that is, they were not designed to be used in the same way as the conventional weapons. That is, the material of the magic weapon which was made with the spirit stone as the nucleus was a common rock, that it was. As long as that rock was used as the material, the size of the magical weapon could not exceed 3 meters, that it could not.

"...... I see. The joints can't bear their own weight. If the rock is made of rock, the knee can't support the weight even if it has a self-repairing function when it exceeds 3 meters, or something like that?

"That is true, that it is. But if we can use harder hardened bricks, the magic weapon can be much larger, that it can be.

"Good. Then, let's improve the magic weapon too. Change the material to hardened bricks and increase the size. That's right. And while we're at it, why don't we take a mold from Thanatos and make one?　It would be interesting if the magical weapons could also have weapons."

"Good idea. We have confirmed that it is possible to reproduce quite complex movements with a magic puppet, that we know. If we can get a mold from the Titan Lord Thanatos, we should be able to make a magical weapon that can at least hold a weapon and fight, that we should be able to do.

　Gran and I continued our research by writing magic circles on the spirit stones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, we obtained some interesting results.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The result was that the rocks that had been coming out of the spirit stones were converted into hardened bricks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a simple but significant achievement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At any rate, hardened bricks are a much harder substance than poor metals.

　The fact that it could be used as a material for the construction of the doll was not only limited to magic dolls, but could also be used for magic weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We immediately experiment with the idea we have come up with.

　As a result, they succeeded in creating a magical weapon that exceeded the previous size of 3 meters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was 5 meters long, the same size as Thanatos, and it could move in complex ways like a person, not like a golem as before.

　With this, it will be possible to make it rampage with a weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there seem to be some merits and demerits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The conventional magical weapons, even if damaged, can repair themselves by using rocks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, if the material is changed to hardened bricks, the efficiency of repair seems to decrease.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the amount of rocks needed to heal the damage becomes larger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although the amount of rocks to heal the damage seems to be larger, it may be more convenient to drop the rocks from the airship, as they are easier to heal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be better to consider the difference in use.

"But for the time being, I think we are done with the research on magic weapons and magic dolls, aren't we?　The magic dolls have been adjusted so that they can perform their daily activities without any problems, so all we need now is a body under the supervision of Lilina."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"By the way, didn't Mister Ars say something like this before, that he did?　I remember that when we were researching magic weapons, you said that it might be a good idea to have a weapon that can only rotate, that it might be a good idea to have a weapon that can only rotate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yes. That's what you said. That's right. Magic weapons and magic puppets have to be operated by concentrating consciousness on the human form, don't they?　Instead, I thought it would be interesting to have something like a tool that keeps going around at a constant speed, no matter who uses it."

"We have studied that, too, that we have done. Instead of incorporating a remote-controlled magic circle, it should be possible to write a magic circle that only has the effect of spinning, that it should work.

"Oh, you can make it already. Well, let's try to make some. I've got some things I want to improve.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Something you want to improve, that it is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. I'm thinking of improving my airship.

　The research on making Aisha's dependents has taken a break, but the work with Gramps continues.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The subject of research shifted from dolls to motive power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that he remembered what I had said to him before, and had been looking into it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gran had already made a mechanism that repeats the action of the rock from the spirit stone, turning when magic power is applied to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what I wanted to make with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a new airship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had felt this ever since I floated Vulcania in the sky as a heavenly body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be nice to have a little more aeronautical capability.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even now, there is such a thing as an airship in Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this airship was not a universal one by any means.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The airships that exist today are powered by flame ore, a stone that emits flames when charged with magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The high flame, like that of a gas burner, is used to heat the air inside the bag, causing it to expand and gain buoyancy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Airships, which evolved from balloons, are merely large balloons with a small boat on the bottom for people to ride in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the airship could only accommodate about 10 passengers, and the power to move the airship was provided by the wind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The air in the sky is always moving in complex ways.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is what is known as air currents.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The airship was pulled by a bird called a weather vane, which was skilled in reading the movement of the wind, and rode the air currents to enable the airship to move through the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this method could not be used if the weather was rough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the air currents were turbulent, the airship would be so shaken that the occupants might fall off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rain is often a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Surprisingly, the conditions for boarding an airship were limited.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that would change with the rotary power developed by GRAND.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, airships will no longer be dependent on the buoyancy of flaming ore as they have been until now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Floating stones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The floating stone discovered in the Divine Realm and which propelled Vulcania into the sky can float in the air without requiring any magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we could build a ship out of the floating stones and attach a propeller to it using rotational power, we would surely be able to create something far more useful than the airships we have built so far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, Gran and I transformed our research from doll-making to the creation of a flying vehicle that could hold 100 passengers.
