"Well, what are we going to do now?"

After the group had settled down, Pohl opened his mouth.

The place where Jin and the others were now was fine, but 500 meters down the road, there would be hell to pay.

However, they too have experienced the battlefield of knights.

"Even though they were enemies, they served their country, too.

If we leave them as they are, they will become food for wild beasts, so we will collect as much of their belongings as possible, gather their bodies in one place, and cremate them.

The number of survivors of the 2nd Frontier Corps of the Kingdom of Selroa is 0. Tristo Clarotho was also melted down with his horse by the corrosive liquid. It was a tragic ending with a bad aftertaste.

The sun was setting, and it was all over.

"The golem is all broken. ......"

Paule Raid's shoulders slump in disappointment.

"Captain, if the damage is minor, we might be able to fix it somehow," said Philippe Tifo.

Philippe Tifo.

He is indeed the head of the Blue Lands branch of the Guild of Magecraftsmen.

However, it would be impossible for him to use the ether converter, which he had made unusable under the guidance of the old man.

We were also able to successfully recover the Magi Crystal, which was once stolen by the 2nd Frontier Corps of the Kingdom of Celluloa.

This alone is worth several hundred million dollars. It was worth the trip.

And finally, what should we do with the remains?

"I think it would be better to bury the remains.

"Well, before that, let me take one look inside.

Jin proposed. The Knights had no objection to that.

"Thank you very much."

Jin dived into the ruins of Sold Lake with Reiko. They set up barriers and proceeded cautiously.

Just before this, the missing RAND team enters the site ahead of the others, and confirms that there are no abnormalities. Otherwise, Reiko would not have put Jin in danger.

As for Erza, since no one was seriously injured, she stayed in the airship for a long time, thinking that it was unnecessary to show her face unnecessarily.

However, she is not bored because she is looking through the which is linked to Reiko's eyes.

"Father, is this about the right place?"

"Yes, that's fine."

Jin's true intention was to leave a marker in the ruins. Even if the entrance was blocked, they could come back later to investigate using the transfer.

A quick look around the site revealed nothing of interest.

"Shall we seal up the hole where the ants came out?

Reiko suggests, but Jin rejects her suggestion.

"No, let's not do that. We should think about destroying the whole nest anyway.

"Okay."

Later that day, the nest of giant ants is burned down by the RAND team.

Then Jin and Reiko went back outside... in less than five minutes.

"Thank you. That was helpful."

I'm sure nothing more happened, but if you're done, I can seal it up if you like.

"Yes, please do."

When Jin affirmed, Paule Raid gave orders to his men. They are the ones who can use earth magic.

They used Collapse to block the entrance and exit.

Jin tells them that it is getting dark and they should head for the kingdom of Egelea.

"Is there anything you want to tell them?

"Well, nothing in particular. Instead, if you could, would you take the vice captain with you so that he can report back to us?

"That's about right."

Jin accepted the offer.

Thus, Gurney Wellin, the vice-captain of the 3rd Knights of Egelea, had the honor of being the first in the Kingdom of Egelea to ride the .

* * * *

Two hours later, Jin and his team arrived at Asunto, the capital of Egelea.

Because of the time difference, it is only 5:00 p.m. here, when there is still some brightness in the sky.

"<> Sir Jin Nido, thank you!"

Even before Jin's <> landed, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Magic, and a dozen or so Kingsguard knights were waiting in the outer palace square to welcome Jin and his men.

Since it was already nighttime, they decided to talk with Jin in detail on the following day, and only briefly greeted him.

Gurney Wellin, the deputy commander, thanked Jin and went to the inner palace to make a report.

Jin and his group stayed at the Guest House. Jin liked the ease of this place.

As Jin relaxed, he suddenly noticed a stain on Reiko's left arm.

Reiko. Let me see your arm."

Reiko jumped at the sound of his voice.

"No, no, it's nothing.

"If it's nothing, let's see it."

"Yes, ......"

Reiko had no choice but to obey Jin's words. She held out her left arm.

"This is ......."

There are a few small tears on the left arm. They are on Reiko's skin, which is made of the wing membrane of a sea dragon.

Was the queen ant's bodily fluids on them?

"...... Yes."

Clothes woven with the threads of a ground spider are fine, but the wing membrane of a sea dragon was affected.

"Maybe it's just a matter of compatibility."

The threads of a ground spider, which is a monster that lives underground, and the wing membrane of a sea dragon that lives in the sea.

"I'll ask you to make a compatibility chart with the materials at hand.

With such a murmur, Jin healed Reiko's skin with engineering magic.

* * * * * *

"Hmmm...I didn't know that was possible."

The conversation between the old man and Saki.

"Of course!

Saki has been visiting Horai Island. Saki was visiting Hourai Island and had heard the message from Jin.

> "Of course!

Of course!

Naturally, he replied.

The work is carried out by the smiths under the direction of the old man, but Saki is also present to satisfy her curiosity and desire for knowledge.

"Hmmm....... materials derived from demons living in the depths of the earth are quite excellent, aren't they?

As a result of various tests, it was found that the threads of the Grand Spider do not dissolve even in the body fluids of giant ants and gigantopods.

On the other hand, the wing membranes of sea dragons were dissolved by both the body fluids of giant ants and gigantopods.

"Well, that's interesting. I wonder how this happens?"

Saki was very interested in this fact.

"Mr. Lao, I would like to summarize these properties of the material Jin is using.

The "Mere Old Man" agrees with this.

<

"I'm looking forward to it.

Saki joined the group and started to make a list of properties of materials.

However, this is not Saki's area of expertise.

"Well, I don't think I can give you much advice on that one.

Saki agreed with the old man's explanation.

I see. Standardizing the size of tea cups makes it easier to organize and looks more beautiful.

The island of Horai in 3458 is full of vitality.
