 < is said to be located on the top floor of the facility or base where <> is located.

 So, the Shinobi troop first moved to the passage in front of the room of <>.

Now, from here, we will use the built-in manacam instead of voice communication as before.

Roger that.

Heading up to ....... Let's head for the stairs.

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





 We've done about 80% of the research on this floor, so we know where the stairs are.

 However...

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





There are two staircases. Which one should we use?

Uhm... ......

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



Maybe one of them is a dummy, or maybe you can't get to the top floor.

No, we know that both of them can get to the floor with the magic barrier.

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



 The floor where the barrier is posted is probably about three floors below the destination.

 We do not know what awaits us on the three floors that we cannot see.

Let's take the nearest stairwell first.

Understood.

 The shinobi troopers ascend the staircases, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

 We can't go up the stairs one by one, so we have to jump up as we go.

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



 Therefore, they can jump up stairs of which each step is about 18 centimeters without any problem.



 The staircases are made of > and are bright enough.

Now, here comes the hard part.

 If nothing happens when you break through the magic barrier, it's fine.

 But, as is the case in Horai Island, if something passes through the magic barrier, there is a possibility that a check will be made, or an alarm will be issued.

Can't we test this with something? ......

 It would be nice if there were small animals like rats, but unfortunately there are no such creatures in this base.



......... Let's go around to the other stairwell.

 Shinobi I, who had been leading the way, called out a warning.



...... Golem!

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





 There was a golem carrying some kind of material.

 Conveniently, the golem is heading for the upper floors. In other words, it's heading in the same direction as the Shinobi troop.

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





All right, we'll follow secretly!

Roger that.

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





 It seems we hit the jackpot when we changed staircases. We meet the golem carrying the materials, and safely pass through the under its shadow.

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



That went well, didn't it?

Yes, sir. Would you like to continue to follow the golem?

Yes, I think so. For now, let's just follow it until it encounters a ward or a barrier.

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





 By their nature, <> can only be placed in a single layer and outermost part of the barrier.

 Because it does not allow magic waves to pass through, nothing more can be done outside of it.

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



 Of course, there is a countermeasure.

 It is to pre-wire a mithril silver magic wire.

 Another way is to install an independent barrier generator.

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



 Horai Island uses both.



 Aside from that, the <> has successfully passed through the first floor and reached the floor one level up.

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



 There is a physical barrier (solid barrier).



It seems that if we follow the golem, we can pass through the solid barrier, but let's check this floor first.

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



Roger that.



 The ultimate goal is to reach the destination, but it may be useful later if we do not neglect to gather information on the floors along the way.

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



 That is why the Shinobi Unit has decided to gather information on the floor they have arrived at.

This place looks like a factory.

Yes, it is.

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





 On that floor, there were parts of the Golem.

 It's obvious that production has stopped.

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





This isn't a factory for mass production, is it?

Yes, sir. It's more of a large workshop than a carefully crafted, if not one-of-a-kind, factory .......

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






Yes, indeed.

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




 But everything's shut down now.

 We don't even have a golem to take care of production.

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




......

What do you mean?

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


If we can find out what's going on here, we might be able to deduce the function and capabilities of the golems that were built here.

I see.

Then let's split up and take a look.

Yes, sir.

 The Shinobi team found a piece of pink-colored Magi Crystal (......).



Could this be ...... a piece of ?

 <<> is similar to rose quartz in appearance, and has good performance as a magi crystal, but it has the property of overreacting to specific magic waves.

 The amplification rate of magic wave signals of specific wavelengths is different.

 If it is used as a control core, it tends to go out of control.

 In the past, when Elena was called , this was used in her control core.

 Rubina, a descendant of Jin, once created a golem using malite and made it run amok without knowing it.

You don't mean to say that went out of control because of this, do you?

 This time, when you were sneaking into the magic barrier, you did not put the mithril line for communication outside the barrier to avoid being noticed by <>.



I'll have to summarize and report back to you after .......

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


I guess so.



 And we've made another discovery.

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




Take a look at this.


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


 Shinobi-Hachi found what appears to be a magical tool that was either in the process of being made or was abandoned because it was a failure.

 However, that is not the problem.

 One of the materials used was .

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


 The mineral name is . It is distributed in Ars under the name of .

 It has the effect of amplifying magic power. The standard amplification rate is 20 times.

 It is characterized by a light blue glow in the sun and a green glow under artificial light. Since it can be a murder weapon depending on how it is used, it is controlled by the state and sold exclusively.

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




Could this be used to amplify some kind of magical attack?

It doesn't look like that's the only way.

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




 Shinobi Corporal also found a part with <> on it.

 It's the golem's right arm.

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




Could it be used to boost its movement?

It's possible.

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




 It would require a sufficient supply of mana, but if it's an origin, it would be powered by a magical reactor, so it shouldn't be a problem.

If her whole body is reinforced with , she is not to be underestimated.



 At least as good as Smith's, Shinobu Ichi calculated.

If there is one more important discovery, I'd better somehow get through the magic barrier and contact the old man.

 And it was soon found. .......
