At noon on September 10, Jin was about to take Rhodoth to the westernmost point of the Rasheer continent.
Rhodes was accompanying Jin because his parents (high grandmother?) wanted him to gain experience in order to become the future chief of a tribe. One of the reasons for Rhodoth's accompanying them was to give them experience to become a future chief. The other is to serve as a guide to this period.
Of course, his automata, <

"I'll see you later, Great Grandmother.

Marikka looked worried.
"Yes, thank you. I'll see you later.

Rhodes' sister, Vita, had also come to see him off.
"Yeah, I'll see you later."
And then they are on the plane.

Pegasus 2 lifted off soundlessly in front of the people who saw them off.
It gains altitude and accelerates at full speed. In the blink of an eye, Pegasus 2 is out of their sight.

"It's gone, isn't it, Mr. Zion?"
"Yes. ...... I wish you a peaceful path."
That's what Jin told me 400 years ago about the road back.

Although there was nothing he could do to change it, Zion could not help but pray.

Pegasus 2 with Jin and the others was heading east.

In other words, westward, the difference in longitude is 240 degrees.
Since longitude is 360 degrees per revolution, we would only need to travel 120 degrees if we go east instead of west. This is the reason why the longitude is 360 degrees around the world.

As a side note, this is because when Jin made the map of Ars, he set Horai Island at 0 degrees and placed it at the eastern edge of the map.
Inevitably, it is more convenient to use the longitude in the west.

120 degrees in longitude means 8 hours in time difference.
The distance is about 2,500 kilometers.
Now, Pegasus 2 was flying at about 2500 km/h. Supersonic.

"That's fast!"
Rhodes is amazed.

"It's still nothing like this, though."
If they use the force field generator to fly in spaceship mode, they should be able to reach speeds of at least 10 kilometers per second. Jin has no intention of doing so.
At the current speed, it would take about an hour to get there. That would put him there around 5:00 a.m. local time.

"Did Jin-san make this 400 years ago? ......"
"Apparently so. I'm here now, and I'm about to build it."
It's still amazing.

Outside the window, the sky is stratospheric and cloudless blue, or rather dark blue. Below us is a sea of clouds.
As we fly, the sun in the background is rapidly disappearing into the horizon. It is a moment that even makes me feel as if I am speeding up time.

At 5:00 a.m. local time, Jin and his crew arrived at the western edge of the Rasil continent as scheduled.

"Well, Reiko should be here.
First, Jin uses the Magi Radar equipped on Pegasus 2 as usual.
"There's something here ......, but it's not Reiko."

Reiko and other automata and golems created by Jin have, by necessity, the same magical power as Jin.
However, the ones we detected this time were not similar in magic power. Many of them.

As Jin lowered his altitude, his eyes caught sight of numerous golems scattered across the wasteland.
Here, he could feel the recovery of the free magical element (ether) that No. 700672 had mentioned.
"Around here, it's about the average of the old small group of countries.

The concentration is high enough for Jin to make an ether converter. No wonder there are other magical engineers like him.
What are they doing?
Rhodes wondered as he looked down.

What do you mean by "something"? There is only one thing, Jin realized.
Reiko.

Are the mysterious golems also searching for Reiko? Jin tilts his head and wonders what for.
"I don't know, even if I ...... think about it. Then there is only one thing to do."

Jin wraps Pegasus 2 in an invisible warding and drops even lower.
"Which one do you think is better ...... Oh, I'll take that one."
Jin targeted one of them at a considerable distance from the target.
