"Hey, Gran. How's the work coming along?"

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

"Everything is going well, that it is, Mr. Ars. However, there is still a lot of work to be done, that it is not quite finished yet, but it is much better than before.

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

"Well, I'm sorry. Well, please do it as soon as possible. We're going to need it in Reed's territory and in Vulcania, after all. We need to increase production.

　After talking to the old man, I leave Barca Castle and move through Barcania.

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

　I head for a research facility in the southeastern district of Vulcania.

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

　There are several research buildings here, along with schools, universities, libraries, and so on.

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

　We enter one of them and meet Gran.

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

　Gran was working here with many others.

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

　The work was to work on the surface of the spirit stone that I had created from my magical powers.

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

　I draw a magic circle on the surface of the stone and then draw another magic circle and so on.

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

　In this way, the spirit stone, a stone of clay, can be used in special ways.

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

　Finally, all magic circles are encrypted by the last magic circle drawn on the surface.

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

　This magic circle technology was brought back from the East and is currently only used here in Vulcania.

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

　Therefore, the number of people involved in this work is quite limited and the work has not progressed as much as expected.

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

　Recently, however, the situation has changed.

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

　The purpose of creating magic circles on spirit stones is to increase the number of eye series.

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

　The Ai series are beings that have a virtual personality called "Ai" and act autonomously with a body of divine dependents created based on magical weapons.

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

　The demand for the Eye has grown since it began to be used in the Reed Domain, especially in the administration of the Reinsatz Domain.

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

　However, because of the unexpectedly detailed work required for some processes, they could not be mass-produced, but the eye overturned this situation.

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

　In other words, it became possible to have Ai himself do the work of drawing a magic circle on a spirit stone to make an eye.

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

　Gran taught him how to do this.

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

　Gran, who had grown tired of drawing magic circles in the same way day after day, taught magic circles to Ai, who was by his side, and as a result, Ai, who has a learning function, mastered them.

　And although each Eye works independently, the main body information is basically in the head of Kaiser Valkyrie.

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

　Therefore, the newly created Ai were also born with the skills to create themselves.

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

　This has accelerated the speed of Eye's production.

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

"That's all right for increasing eye production, but you're also doing research, right?"

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

"Of course, that I do. We are currently researching various ways to improve the existing ones, that we are, Mr. Ars. The four wings have improved flight speed and turning ability, that they have. And the magical weapons have also been miniaturized as you say, that they have been.

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

"I see. Well, I'll check on that later.

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

　So far, Gran and the others have had to spend a lot of time making eyes.

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

　However, now that the eye can be made by the eye itself, Gran can spend more time on his research.

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

　So he is doing various things to make the best use of it.

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

　One of them is to improve the performance of the four wings.

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

　At first there were only 13 of them, but the number has been increased.

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

　At the same time, they have decided to improve their magical weapons.

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

　The performance of these magical weapons has also changed greatly from what we have seen in the past in the East.

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

　When we first saw these magical weapons in the East, they were just like giants of rocks.

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

　They looked like so-called "golems" about 3 meters high made of rugged rocks.

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

　However, I had succeeded in enlarging it by rebuilding it with hardened bricks instead of rocks, and had succeeded in creating a magical weapon of about 5 meters in height.

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

　I had also used the body of Thanatos, a warrior of Atmos, as a reference, so that it looked like a really big person.

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

　However, there is a magical weapon that takes this one step further.

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

　It was put into actual use in the previous battle.

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

　The introduction of magical weapons on the Rhine-Satz Plain.

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

　It was a new type of magical weapon.

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

　Until then, magical weapons were activated by pouring magic power into a spirit stone, which served as the core of the weapon, and were remotely controlled by the person who poured the magic power into the stone.

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

　Therefore, the operator could not control the weapon unless he could see it within his field of vision, and he could only move it roughly to a certain extent.

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

　Therefore, when magic weapons were used in battles up to that time, they were controlled from the top of the airship while the pilot looked down on them.

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

　However, this has been fundamentally changed.

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

　This was made possible thanks to the Eye.

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

　By adding a magic circle to install the virtual personality "Eye" in the magic weapon, the control of the weapon was left to the "Eye" rather than to the person who poured magic power into the weapon.

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

　This enabled a completely different movement from the one before.

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

　With Ai taking control of the magical weapon, it is now possible to perform much more detailed movements than the rough and ready movements of the past.

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

　Not only large swinging attacks and body thrusting attacks, but also swordsmanship-like movements with a large sword made of hardened bricks became possible.

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

　This is also related to Ai's learning function.

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

　Ai used to fight mock battles with his brother Bait using his body as a guardian, or even with Atmos warriors transformed into giants using magical weapons.

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

　Through these experiences, he had improved his physical combat skills and was able to reproduce them on all of his terminals.

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

　As a result, the magical weapons operated by Ai, whose white combat skills had increased, were no longer just big, bulky things, but were truly what one could call warriors.

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

　Considering that it even has an automatic repair function, it has an extraordinary performance.

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

　But now they want to miniaturize it.

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

But are you sure about this, that you are?　Wouldn't it be better to make it larger, that it should be?"

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

"No, downsizing is fine, Gran. I mean, if it's too big, it won't fit inside the castle, will it?"

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

"Are you planning to use magical weapons inside the castle, that you are?"

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

"Yes. As I'm sure Gran has heard, Vulcania will now be an independent country along with the Celestial Cemetery. But there are now restrictions on its strength. There are restrictions on the number of soldiers. I'm thinking of using magical weapons as a loophole.

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

"I see. Magic weapons are not people. So you have a theory that they are not counted as soldiers in the army. It is true that if they are usually kept in the form of spirit stones, they cannot be counted. But then, wouldn't it be better to change the shape a little more, that it should?　Wouldn't it be a little bad in the castle to have the naked body of Lord Thanatos as the foundation?"

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

"Yes, that's right. That's why I thought I'd discuss it with Gran. My request is for a magical weapon large enough to guard the castle. And they should preferably be able to handle human weapons such as swords and magic guns.

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

"I see. Sharing of weapons, that it is. That sounds interesting, that it does. If it is made smaller with functionality in mind, that it will be interesting.

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

"Oh, come on, Gran. Of course, it has to be usable even when we're fighting outside the castle.

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

"Yes, that I do. I will leave it in your hands, that I will, Mr. Ars.

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

　I discuss the future of the development of magical weapons with Gran.

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

　The concept was miniaturization.

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

　Up until now, we have been operating magical weapons as large and powerful as possible.

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

　From now on, however, we would like to make them more compact.

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

　We have noticed that large magical weapons are easy to use in battles on level ground, but are surprisingly difficult to handle in urban areas.

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

　Well, for the time being, we should increase the number of Eyes and deploy them in Barka Castle as well.

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

　Even in their original form, they already have more fighting skills than amateurs.

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

　Since men basically belong to the military, it would be difficult for them to consider having a large number of female Ai in the castle as an increase in strength.

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

　The council members didn't learn enough.

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

　In the radio broadcast of the battle against the Reinsatz, there was mention of magic guns and the like, but no mention of magical weapons or four wings.

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

　Therefore, only the Barka and Reed families knew about the effectiveness of these weapons, and those who were in the home country did not have such information.

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

　Therefore, only the number of soldiers was determined for the maintenance of the Sky Kingdom's strength.

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

　Thus, in Vulcania, the research by the grands continued in order to create new magical weapons without people knowing.
