In the basement opened by Niestor Cirillo Jagus, the king of the Duchy of Jagus, was a gigantic magical machine (magi-machine).

(...... Magi Brain?)

Shinobi I looked at the machine and judged it to be so.

（It was ......<, judging from its type.

But that is secondary for now. Shinobi I took note of the king's actions.

"......What should we do next?"

The words escaped from the mouth of the king.

>

"If we have brainwashed the people, what should we do after that?"

"What instructions?"

"......"

It seemed that the magic brain was of the inflexible type, and the Prince had to rephrase his question often.

"How can I become a champion?"

"How can I acquire this power?"

"How can we develop it?"

<>

"How can we develop engineers?"

>.

"How can we find the talent?"

<>.

"Can we brainwash the people?"

<<

"Then what should we do?"

<

"If you do so, there is a possibility that the people will turn against you."

<

"...... that's easy for you to say."

Listening to this exchange, Shinobu I felt that the Duke of Jagus had not mastered the use of this magical brain.

(It seems that he is giving only the minimum amount of information to his magical brain.)

Shinobi I thought that this would limit the range of his judgment.

Without enough information, no matter how good the magical brain is, it cannot draw a correct conclusion.

Lord Niestor Kyrillo Jags' questioning continued.

"Is it a good thing to have a large number of high-performance golems?"

"Then how can we do that?"

<>

"......"

Shinobi-ichi decided to try to see if he could communicate with the old man from this place in 0.01 seconds, a very small amount of time.

Can you hear me, Shinobi-kun?

But the communication was jammed and he could not get through.

Fortunately, the magic brain did not seem to notice him either.

"...... How can I own a powerful golem?"

"I heard that answer earlier. Can you help me to ...... develop it?"

<

"...... so how can we make our country wealthy?"

<>

After two hours of these questions and answers, Niestor Cirillo Jagus left the crypt with a weary look on his face. Shinobu I followed closely behind him as he left the room.

As soon as the door was closed, Shinobi I quickly reported to the old lord that he seemed to have escaped from the boundary.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The sovereign immediately analyzed the information from Shinobi 1.

It is similar to the magical brain of <<<< origin, but a bit crude. What does this mean? ......>>

Possibility 1. It was originally a low-specification magic brain because it was not intended to be used for much purpose.

Possibility 2. for some reason, the Duke of Jagus found and is using an incomplete magic brain.

Possibility 3. it is partially damaged or broken for some reason.

Possibility 4. it was not made by the origin.

Possibility 5. ????????????

Laojun speculated on more than 10 possibilities, but could not make a decision due to the lack of information.

Go to <<<< shinobi troop>>. Please gather more information on the magical brain used by the Duke of Jagus.

The old man was convinced, after analyzing the exchange just now, that the King's actions were considerably influenced by the advice of the magic brain.

<>

The old man judged that it would depend, in part, on the extent to which the High King was willing to accept his advice.

But in that case, the policy would be confused and the people would likely suffer.

The Duchy of Jagus was very difficult to deal with, because its priority was how not to harm the people.

<>

The old man came up with a plan to send < as a <>.

However, with the twin peaks of the Institute and the <, the question is whether it will be accepted or not.

<> can be made to listen to the orders of our side.

And the other is <> and <>.

<

The old man was thinking of taking advantage of the device that Golbert Malkitas had left for him.

>

The "Mere Old Man" has not been able to come up with any policy on this issue.

This is because the three duchies and are involved.

The situation is so severe that even the old man himself has called it severe.

I wonder if the day will come when we can break out of this situation at once. .......
