Chapter 45 – Arrest – 1
Occasionally, there are a few scenes and clichés that often appear in movies, novels, cartoons, or games.
“Actually, there is a hidden secret.”
“It is still too early for you to know.”
“I am still investigating. I’ll tell you when it’s clear.”
No! Tell me in advance! Either dragged on like that and died from being stabbed in the back, or the case exploded because the response was delayed so there was no hidden meaning, or it dragged on and ended up not being a big secret in the second half.
Not all of them are like that, but there are often scenes where a situation that could have been resolved had it been said earlier, but eventually the incident erupted.
What… As an artist, it’s a good cliché because it’s just sprinkled rice cakes and you can later collect them to suit your taste. Anyway, it’s not a rice cake to roll in the beginning.
What I’m going to do now is different from that scene.
Do you really need to do that? It is different from other works that have no power or no power. There is no need to procrastinate.
“Get the kids together.”
“Yeah.”
The magical power in his golden eyes linked them to the magic crystals he had thrown in advance, and through the magic crystals, he was watching them using magic technology that allowed him to watch the slave guild from a very long distance.
“Let’s procrastinate for no reason, because when things happen, we’re the only ones who get annoyed… , Let’s finish it quickly.”
“All right.”
Chloe and Celine moved immediately.
While watching that, I looked away and used the magic crystal as a projector to watch the remote monitoring system check.
Hyundai… In terms of the original world, it was an insignificant technology.
The principle is different, but in the end, you install a camera and watch it from a distance through the Internet or the connection method that follows.
However, there is no magic control method like this in this world. Rarely.
It’s a question of ideas.
For example, the previously used magic control method that blocks the view of the surroundings. There are magic control methods that feel like camouflage or stealth, but among monsters, there are monsters that assimilate with the surrounding environment like chameleons. It was the control method that brought the idea to them and implemented it similarly with magical power, and this control method was quite widespread.
Wouldn’t there be many other control methods similar to or identical to modern science and technology? I thought about it, and I searched for it.
Strictly speaking, it exists. Somewhere on the continent, a family that handles magical powers must have it.
But while they do exist, most of them end up as family visions. Most of the ideas that can be obtained from nature or monsters, such as how to block the gaze of others, are shared, or are difficult to implement, so they often give up or, as I said, succeed in a small number of families, and make it their own vision.
If you want to use such a special magical technique, you are free to come up with the same idea or to do your own research after seeing other families use it, but in the end, either way takes time, and since information sharing doesn’t happen in the first place, you’re free to do it again. Only a small number of people who witnessed it study it, and it ends with them monopolizing it.
Someday, such magic technology may spread, but it will take a long time.
Anyway, the important thing is the matter of the idea.
People in this world are not stupid. Rather, there must be plenty of people smarter than me. Aristocrats fight political battles, and merchants meticulously roll their brains to gain a penny or two. Some write, some sing. They were also making progress in their own culture.
I didn’t think they were dumber than me.
But the difference between them and me is that I have memories of my previous life.
A matter of common sense known from a previous life. I don’t know how to make it with the development of science, about the principle. I can’t explain it, I don’t understand it. But only the results of that science are known.
I don’t know much about semiconductors, but I know a lot of electronic products that are eventually made with them.
You don’t have to know exactly what the internet is. After all, all you need to know is that something connected can be seen from a great distance.
Although the plane is flying in the sky, its structure must also be designed with numerous scientific theories.
You know that drones fly with batteries and motors, but you don’t have to know exactly how they’re built. You just need to know that you can levitate something and scout with it.
It’s not even about science. Drama or movie. Novel or animation. Or the imaginary materializations that people from all over the world have dreamed of while talking to each other. It was enough to know only those results.
People in this world are just lacking in this idea. As long as that idea is satisfied, it will develop on its own with a principle that I do not know.
Like now.
“Start the project camera. I take over the magical power from Leoric. Three, two, one… ! Handover complete.”
“Check the connection with the Magic Stone. From now on, all magic stones are referred to as cameras. Check.”
“Check. Camera #1 is connected.”
“Check. Check camera 2. Position fixed. Stealth control begins… Mana blocking complete.”
“Check. Camera 3 no response… , Ah. Responded. As expected, it becomes difficult to control at such a distance.”
“Switch to stealth, release control. There’s a good chance they’ll get caught.”
“Yeah.”
“Like Leoric-nim said before, it would be better to install a repeater that connects mana to mana.”
“A relay… I need to research how to install it.”
In front of Chloe, there is a team that has brought some smart people from among those with magical powers.
It is a kind of research team.
“As the distance increases, the magical composition weakens. After all, it is difficult with our magical powers.”
“There is a limit to using the power of the nobles, including Leoric. We need to increase a little more versatility.”
“How about strengthening magic attribute control or simplifying the structure to increase durability?”
“Then there is a possibility of an easy capture from the side. There’s also the matter of secrecy… After all, it is difficult to hide at this level.”
After all, the ball has to be sharpened to lift well.
I just spilled my words in moderation, so I listened to it and somehow completed it. Of course, convenience, such as application distance and image quality, is difficult to compare with modern technology, but anyway, a camera that can be remotely monitored in this world has been completed. I can’t use it in practice. So, it has not yet been used in this war, and is still being researched.
“If you use this method, other methods are possible.”
“If we process two magic stones and make them in such a way that they only connect to each other, wouldn’t it be possible to communicate over a very long distance?”
“The problem is, of course, distance and secrecy. In a case like this, it will be caught unconditionally.”
“It is difficult.”
Isn’t that a cell phone? No, is it still a walkie-talkie?
Anyway, seeing him roll his head on his own is trustworthy.
Still, unlike modern times, radio waves are invisible and cannot be felt by humans, but the magical energy that acts as a radio wave in this world is clearly visible to those who possess it and is easy to detect, so it seems difficult to develop it as it is.
… The goblin will figure it out.
The head-rolling research team looked away and looked at the screen, which, although the quality was poor, was not difficult to identify.
Honestly, with my own power, I could see without using this, but I need to see how much their skills can be used…
What, magic technology… Or magic engineering? Magic engineering? No, not magic. … Magic science? Anyway, I turned my eyes and looked at the screen.
I looked at the top of the slaves unpacking and preparing for the night in an accommodation facility for large groups.
“Anyway, we’ll keep an eye on it, and when it’s midnight, we’ll make a surprise attack.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to go in after watching it move for some purpose?”
Chloe shook her head at her words.
Of course, if I had a father or older brother, that wouldn’t be too bad. But right now, I am alone in the Franz estate.
I watch like that, and if an emergency happens, my position becomes worse. And I’m not even sure I can completely prevent that situation.
There.
“It’s just a guess, but I don’t think it’s our purpose.”
“Yeah?”
Literally guessing, though.
Anyway, as Chloe confirmed, there was no problem with the document itself, and it is said that she will leave the territory immediately after the schedule.
In fact, the accommodation they were staying in was supposed to leave immediately. Even for the important things, he showed only an attitude of being strictly vigilant. Even if he were to work here, it would be far from the Franz Castle, and there wouldn’t be many people around.
“The purpose is borang, or the capital? Or are you simply going to pass?”
“So you’re saying you really came here by accident?”
“Isn’t it? Since I came from afar, I would not have known the details, and if I had known, I would have changed my route a long time ago. Arriving there the day after the deployment was really unexpected.”
Strengthened inspections would not be a welcome fact for them. In addition, changing the route just because you know the situation around here is too suspicious. You may not have noticed right away, but the sighting information must have come in anyway.
What is the purpose
… Catch him and then torture him. Honestly, I don’t think it matters much no matter what happens.
After watching for a while, I looked at Chloe standing next to me.
If you see that your face is not good, you must still have something in your heart that you didn’t notice.
“By the way, didn’t you know that a while ago?”
“… Yes. Sorry.”
“No. It’s just that the method is more secretive than you think.”
I thought of something I had seen a while ago.
The slave trade union does not only trade slaves. A certain box among those trade goods. The strange presence and secret magic that was felt there.
Guessing the size…
“… Person?”
