On the Pandor continent, in the , there was a base of who once troubled the forces of Horai Island.

It was once a base built by the , and is now treated as a .

Markitas built his base based on such a facility.

By the way, there was another base built by the <> of the <>.

It is located near the mouth of the river ......<>, which flows down from Mt.

Near the mouth of the river is a bay that opens to the northwest, with islands of various sizes lining the entrance of the bay as if it were a lid.

Therefore, the waves in the bay are calm and it was convenient as a harbor.

< obtained from . And the mystery of the masked man remains.

The old man was searching for the mysterious ship with his "peepers".

He decided that it would be more reliable to search for the ship than for an individual.

Forty-four hours after the search began, they discovered a secret base-like facility in the western part of the Pandor continent.

There was a localized cliff that did not show up on the small scale map.

Or, rather than cliffs, perhaps a ledge would be a better description.

The rocks protrude like a cliff about 50 meters above the sea level.

In other words, the bottom of the shelter is not visible from the sky.

Geographically speaking, it is unnatural to have such a steep cliff on the coastline where the waves are calm.

<<>

The old man guessed that the probably modified the cliff.

<>.

<

<

It is only about 1600 kilometers away, so a ship of reasonable capability could have done it.

The only time he used ships was when he surrounded Penglai Island, and they were wooden ships less than 100 meters long.

After that, Markitas used large flying boats.

A ship would need a large crew. Even if they use golems.

<<>

It appears to be in operation as of now.

<

The old man made a guess that it is probably related to the <>.

< it is?

The old man decided that the priority for now was to investigate the base, and started to observe the area around the port.

<>. ...... ......>>

When you zoom in, you can see that it is reinforced with metal beams and girders.

<>.

And there are several holes under the ledge.

. Markitas has found a good place for it.

The space inside is square shaped, 300 meters wide, 500 meters deep, and about 1 The inside space is formed in a square, 300 meters wide, 500 meters deep, and about 1,000 meters high.

From the shape of the shipyard, you guessed that it is the one of the , and that Markitas modified it.

The old man concluded.

The old man then goes on to examine the interior in detail.

>.

However, with the power of <>, it is possible to pry open the wards by forceful techniques and observe the object.

<>.

It will take some time, but since we have already found it, it doesn't matter.

>

The old man has finally found them. . Three of them.

They may not be as good as the cruisers of Horai Island, but they are far beyond the standard of this world, the old man felt.

And he decides to call Jin here.

* * * *

Jin came to the control room with Reiko.

"My Lord, I heard you found a mysterious ship?"

<

"Oh!"

Jin's eyes widened when he saw the huge magic screen in the control room.

"Isn't this an amazing base?"

< and then further modified by Markitas.

Jin nodded.

"Something like that, I suppose. But now is better than the past. The ...... facility is still alive?"

"Hmmm ......"

< was inhabited by a piece of , Jin guessed that he could understand the technology of <>.

"...... Is it ?"

<<.

"Yes."

Then the old man told him that the investigation with the peepers was still inaccurate due to the presence of a <> like a barrier.

"Well, that's no good. ...... you've got time, take your time."

<

"Oh, is that them?"

<> is also a miniature golem, 5 centimeters tall, just like the Shinobi Unit. It was made for espionage, so it is effective in this kind of operation.

In terms of performance, it is almost the same as the <>. The only difference is the color (Shinobi Troop is black, Sam is silver-gray).

<.

"Yes, do it."

Thus the miniature golems were sent out for intelligence purposes.
