There she met Zion, the wife of her longtime friend and clan leader, Belialus.
"Yes, I was wondering if I could talk to you about something..."
"Well, you can't just stand at the door and talk, so come in.

Now Zion is 263 years old and Marikka is 243 years old.
Both of them look middle-aged on the outside, since the northern people age about five times slower than the people of the Laurentian continent.
Thanks to this, Zion, who used to be a tomboy, has settled down and become a dignified clan leader's wife, while Marikka has lost the restlessness of her youth and has become a matured magic technician.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"
"About means of transportation."

Transportation?
Yes. ...... just to take an example, the weather is sunny and the snow is deep, so today's situation is easy to explain.
It's a little tough on the golem horses, isn't it?

Theon smiled.

"Thank you."
The food situation in the Nordic Federation had improved, and the economic situation had improved greatly.
Sion thought it was time to pursue his own culture.

This is Marikka's best work, hoping for a relationship like the one between Jin and Reiko.

The Glider Golem, Skylark, and Albatross, which Jin made in his early days, are examples of this type.

Marikka decided that it would be difficult to operate on the snow-covered ground.
"Then again, it would have to be a Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) type."
By separating the means of levitation and propulsion, the aircraft could be a VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) type.

What makes it different from the one Jin built is that it has a wider range of airflow.
"In terms of image, it's like inflating a paratrooper with wind from below," he said.

"In that case, let's call the air vent ...... for simplicity. If the air vent is small, you have to increase the wind speed of the airflow to keep the aircraft afloat.
According to Marikka's calculations, the weight of the aircraft, including the pilot, is estimated to be 200 kilograms.
This would generate winds equivalent to a major storm.

In order to reduce the wind speed, the wind volume should be increased, so they designed the Magi Formula to increase the diameter of the virtual nozzle to several meters.
The nozzle was made to be several meters in diameter.

Let's give it a try.
The prototype was completed a few days later. The test pilot was Hanako.

The location was a plaza on the outskirts of the clan territory of Shinra. The snow was about one meter thick.
The snow was chosen in the hope that it would provide a cushion in the event of a crash.
