 On this day, King Beaux-Arts was busy meeting a delegation from the neighboring kingdom of Franz, and Jin and the others decided that it would be bad to interrupt his official work, so they left the castle.



"Now, Arnold, are you sure you want to investigate the base as requested?"

Yes, of course.

Yes, of course.

 Jin then instructed Hope to head for the area directly west of Mount Onouni.

 It would take a little more than half an hour to get there, so Jin asked Arnold the question he had just thought of.

"Hey, what kind of a thing is this <> that you were talking about earlier?"

"Yeah, that's it? Well, it basically started with the idea of having a golem take the place of a horse in a wagon.

I can see that.

"The war was so prolonged that we had to spend a lot of money on military provisions and fodder on the battlefield. Eventually, instead of horses, they developed a golem-drawn vehicle.

"Did the golem pulling the car have any special characteristics?

"First of all, it had spikes on its soles.

Torsion bar?

 Jin imagined that the U-shaped axle has car bearings at both ends, and the U-shaped vertical bar is fixed to the frame.

"Yes?"

"Earlier, when you asked me what I thought might be at the base, you hesitated just a little bit, didn't you? What was the reason?"

"I don't know either. I don't know either. It's just that my superiors at the time were talking about it.

I can look for a free-magic etheric signature.

Oh, that's great, try it.

You'll need to narrow the area to increase sensitivity?
