"I didn't know that, my predecessors were demons ...... or maybe they weren't called demons back then, but that's where they studied various magical tools again."

 One of the reasons for his superior skills is now clear.

"So when you went to the demon tribe, the name <> was known to you because your mother had gone there?"

 Reiko said in a quiet voice.

"That would be the case."

 Jin agreed in the same quiet voice and left the study.

 He was curious about the footprints of his predecessors, but he could not spend all day reading them.



 When he left the laboratory, the summer sun was shining outside.

"It's going to be hot again today, isn't it?

 Jin looked up at the blue summer sky with squinted eyes and muttered to himself.

......Well, there's still a lot of work to be done.

 Returning once again to the control room in the institute, Jin sits down in his chair and begins to discuss the future with the old man.

 It is a magical tool to extract any substance dissolved in seawater.

"Well, it might be a good idea to make it on an experimental basis.

 For now, Horai Island is not in need of resources.

"Besides, it seems that we can get quite a lot of resources from meteorites.

 At the base behind the moon of Ars, meteorites passing nearby were collected and used as resources.

 Most of them are stony meteorites, but iron meteorites are occasionally recovered as well, and there are ample reserves of iron, nickel, and cobalt.

"I'd rather work on artificial magic crystals (magi crystals)."

 Magi crystals have so far not been found in meteorites.

 Since they are also scarce in Yuny, Jin speculated that there might be some conditions for their formation.

"Mithianite was a meteorite, though. ......"

 Apart from that, Jin wanted to research if it was possible to make artificial magic crystals (magi crystals) from low quality magic stones (magi stones) by applying free magic elements (ether) under certain conditions.

 If the amount of Magi Crystals mined is 1, the amount of Magi Stones mined is 100. But the number of usable quality magi stones is about 20. In other words, 80 of the magi stones are discarded.

 Jin's plan is to reuse them.

"Yes, that's right."

 However, the plan is already completed in Jin's mind.

"After all, what should we do about the wedding with Elsa. ......"

 This is the biggest challenge for now.

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


 First, the wedding. Will it be held on Horai Island? Or in Shoro, Erza's hometown? Or in the village of Kaina?

 Wedding banquet. We may have to visit many countries for this.

"......I'm worried about it..."

<> and , who is well known in many countries, this is a problem.

"It's not a problem that can be put off."


"That's true. I will discuss it with her later.

"Certainly. ......"

 Thus, Jin had a meeting with the old man until noon.

 The Laurentian continent consists of the kingdoms of Klein, Egelea, Elias, Franz, and Cerroa, the Shoro Kingdom, and the countries of Mitsho and Huso to the west.

 In addition, the former Kingdom of Leonard, which was destroyed, is inhabited by humans.

 The Kingdom of Egelea is located in the southeastern part of the Laurentian continent and is an old country that was once a part of a large country called <>.

 The records of the past have been lost since the <>, a war that affected the entire sphere of existence of mankind.

 We only know that the Kingdom of Dinar was established shortly before the <>, and that there are few, if any, oral traditions, and almost no written records.



 There are many, if not most, <<......> who regret this and are studying it.

 And.

"Hmmm...I can only assume that it was a high ranking mage who passed on the oral tradition, but I wonder why there is no written record of it."

<, has also embarked on an investigation of the .



 She came to Nakarai in the western part of the Kingdom of Egelea. It is surrounded by gently rolling mountains.

 She had been collecting the lore of the Shoro Kingdom, and among them there was one that related to the country before the Great Magic War.



"<>....... God, we could use a few more clues."

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



 With just these clues, she was moving from one small group of countries to the next.

 However, there are surprisingly few towns surrounded by mountains.

"There is a big town in the east, which means there is a big plain in that direction. ......"

 When I checked the map of Horaijima, I found such a place only around Nakarai in the Kingdom of Egelea.

 Of course, it is possible that there was a big town then and it is deserted now.

 However, my intuition as a storyteller told me that it might be in this area.

"This is Nikalai and Dairou. ...... From the name of the place, it sounds like an old name."

 Vivienne sensed something in the sound of the name.

"Mount Denan....... There's a mine there, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were some ruins.



"Hey, Vivian."

 Someone called out to Vivian who was looking at the mountain and thinking about something.

"Ah, Mr. Lukor."

 An old man with a bald head, a white beard, and gray eyes.

 He is a well-known archaeologist who was once a brainwashed pawn of the Unification Party (Unifiler).

 Jin met him at an archaeological site that he visited with Reinhardt, Erza, and others, and was released from his brainwashing.

 He met Vivian by chance, and they hit it off and came to this place.

"Yeah, no clue. What about you?

"Hmm, maybe we should try the next town."

"Yes, that's right. Tomorrow we will go to Nikalai.

 The world is seemingly at peace.
