Jin was being taught by <> how to deal with the golem embedded in the wall inside <>......<>.

"I, for one, do not like to see the base that belongs to Marikka destroyed. < must be neutralized.

"But are you sure?"

< was also created by the ......, or of the .

But shakes his head.

"It doesn't matter. In the first place, the is a , not a . They are no match for Marikka.

It seems that among the <>, <> (the person who created the <>) >><> (all the >) >>Marikka>><>'s <>.

Jin did not say anything, because he understood the subtleties of the situation.

"There are two main points. The first is to not let <> contact ...... let's call him <>."

"That is correct."

If the <> is giving some instructions, then don't let them contact you.

"If we cover the East Base of Jigosaldo with a magic barrier, then they won't be able to contact us."

"Yes, that's good. The first is about how to disable the <> itself."

The <> cannot prevent physical phenomena. But on the other hand, it can permeate through matter, which means that it can enclose the target without any gaps.

If the object is surrounded by this barrier and communication is not possible, then it can be modified in various ways to make it ineffective, so that other problems will not arise.

"Of course, it is advisable to fully analyze the situation before doing so. ...... to make sure there's no self-destruct mechanism, for example."

"...... understand."

has a good point, which is helpful for Jin as well.

"So, what should we do about the person who might be managing <>?"

Jin guessed that they would react in some way if they knew that communication with <> was no longer possible.

"Yes, that is correct. ...... In that case, Jin-dono, we will have to intercept them outside the <>."

Is that a possibility after all,......?

"I suppose that's a possibility. In order to gauge the strength of such an opponent, it is essential to carefully analyze the <>."

"Indeed it is. ......"

Anyway, with the advice of the <>, the way to deal with <> was decided.

* * * *

The way to deal with the <> was decided by the <>, which was to be used with the Marikka Golem <><> and <>. 1><>> and <>>.

It was done before the four golems used <> against the <>.

It was just in time.

<

Because of such a message from the old man, the four golems temporarily moved away from the <>.

And they also explain to <>.

"......This is why I want to take all possible measures to analyze this <>" and <>>"<>".

and <> says, <> understands.

I will cooperate with you fully. I will cooperate fully.

"That would be great. First of all, I'm going to cover the area around the <> with a <>."

"That's the best way to block communication.

< is called "magic barrier".

Since the opening of this <> is facing outward, the two > generate it facing each other, so that the openings of the barrier are combined to form a sphere.

In other words, the inside of the sphere is magically sealed. It is easy to understand if you imagine that they are bowls.

This makes any communication impossible.

Since there is no physical defense, you can freely go in and out of the sphere.

Then <<> will be able to analyze <>.

I see, that's a good way to do it.

< is impressed as well.

* * * * * *

The situation of was relayed to Horai Island as well.

"We can rest easy now.

"I'm glad we made it in time."

Jin and the others were also relieved.

"But we'd better hurry if we're going to analyze it.

< added his advice. Jin instantly understood what he meant.

"Yes, that's right. The fact that the communication has been cut off is also an <>, isn't it?

< were at hand, he would be able to analyze it immediately, but it is frustrating that it is now at the distant .

If they are communicating by weak magic wave, we can analyze the magic wave and send the same one to deceive the receiver. .......

>.

"I'd like that."

"Ugh, I'm sorry, the performance of the <> is not good enough.

Marikka says apologetically, but Jin denies it.

"That's not true. < is powerful enough. But we are dealing with the technology of the <>, so it can't be helped this time.

"That may be so, but I wish I could have been of more help."

< is a golem.

It is an engineering type golem, but its purpose is slightly different. It is a little less capable of analysis and production (compared to the <>).

Since the technology of <> is not common, it is not surprising that <> takes time to learn it, Jin said to Marikka to appease her.

The old man immediately said, "I'm sorry, but I can't help it.

The old man immediately sent out < and by transporter.

The <> informed the <> of this, so the two <> were able to enter <> without any difficulty.

"<>, I will help you.

"Thank you very much."

<>, I will help you.

Thank you very much.

The two bodies immediately set to work to fulfill their roles.

"Start analysis. ......<>"

"Start analysis. ......<"

"<><>"

"<><>"

The results were sent to the "Mere Old Man" in real time for analysis.

* * * * *

<>

"Surprising, isn't it?"

<

"What?

What?

The data transmission over a tightly shielded wire is extremely difficult to detect from the outside, except from a very short distance.

"I should have thought of that possibility since it's embedded in the wall. ......"

"No, my friend, it takes unlimited ability to predict every situation and to take countermeasures. We have to discard the items with low probability.

Jin admitted that in this case, the countermeasures went above and beyond.

"We'll just have to make a plan for the future."

Jin began to consult with the gathered here.
