"First of all, ...... we have representatives from the four duchies west of the Laurentian Continent, so some of you may know them, but let's introduce each other first."

Sion then introduces the eight people sitting opposite him.

"Then, first, we would like to hear the reports of our guests, Jin Nido, the <3rd generation Magecraft Meister>, and Deus ex Machina, the advisor of <>."

"Understood."

Jin bowed in his seat.

The situation and his voice were projected on the large magic screens attached to the walls on all sides, and his voice was amplified at the same time, so that even those seated at a distance would not be able to miss it.

Jin then reported that some of the heads of state, including the Duke of Jagus, had been brainwashed.

"............That's why the Duke of Jaguar and some other important people were subjected to <> by ."

"As for the identity of this masked man, he was an automaton that had been lying in the ruins. Jin and I analyzed the magical tools it possessed and created a psycho normalizer.

Jin reported and Machina supported him.

Of course, the Neo Magus League was also a subject of the report.

"It seems that <><><><>> were the leaders of <>. They were aboard the flagship that was wrecked and sunk at the end of the fleet battle, so their safety is unknown.

These reports aroused the anxiety of those in attendance.

However, a deus ex machina was introduced to allay their fears,

"But don't worry. We've sunk their ship. And we have salvaged such a ship and secured some materials.

When he told them that he had salvaged such a ship and secured some materials, they said "Oh," or "That's just as I expected.

Jin then made a positive report.

Then Jin made a positive report: "And I've got a couple of useful things. Please take a look at the documents in your hand.

"What?　This is ......."

"<> and ......<>?"

Yes, those two.

Now Jin explains.

The large magic screen displayed the same information as in the document, and the explanation of the <>......<<5 persons>>, which followed the way it was called,......<<5 persons>>, only made the people in attendance nod their heads. The participants only nodded their heads, but when it came to the <>, they leaned forward and joined in the conversation.

"The time can be determined from the azimuth and the direction of the sun, and at the same time the latitude can be determined from the altitude of the sun. And the time difference from the standard time gives us the longitude."

"Ummm ...... I see."

"At night, it would be possible to use the moon (Uni) and certain stars at night."

"Oh, yes."

"This is groundbreaking. ......"

About half of the audience imagined the benefits of the and pondered the future.

The key to navigation is to know where you are. Without this knowledge, it is impossible to determine even the direction in which to proceed.

Current navigational techniques rely almost entirely on visual observation.

In other words, we navigate while keeping land in sight.

Basically, the vessels operate only in the waters south of the Laurentian continent, so that in case of emergency, land is available to the north (except for the return trip to the Pandorian continent, which was quite dangerous).

In addition, hot-air balloons are used for navigating the seas away from land, as they allow for a greater range of vision.

If the s*xtant navigation technique is added to this, it will be easier to dispatch a fleet of ships to the continent of Pandor.

"Finally, we plan to use the warp gate on Uchuto Island to bring the recovered materials here in sequence.

"Well, that would be very helpful."

<, smiles.

She said that such a donation would be a great help, since the stockpile of materials had been dwindling recently in .

By the way, only Jin is interested in her name. There is no substance called < in Ars.

"Now then, I would like to discuss the four duchies. ...... First, I would like to ask the representative of the Principality of Jagus to speak."

Theon said, and Prime Minister Beyax Gere stood up and bowed.

"First of all, I must apologize on behalf of the Duke to all those who have been inconvenienced.

Then he bowed deeply once again.

Prime Minister Beyax Gere bowed for about 30 seconds, but then raised his head, sat down, and spoke again.

"As you have just explained to me, my Lord King and several others have been subjected to the brainwashing called . I think it is fair to say that this in itself was almost force majeure, but I believe that the many misdeeds that were carried out under the influence of such interference cannot be apologized for."

"......"

"......"

"......"

The Duchy of Mimaka, the Duchy of Dalat, the Duchy of Norway, and others said nothing, but simply listened to the Prime Minister, the representative of the Duchy of Jagus.
