"The first is the information about the mutation that you can't wait for. Thanks to my children's investigation, we have grasped the center of the mutation and the culprit - the ability of the monster."
After hearing Miranda's words, Ajit and Anna made a sound of admiration.
Even Misty, who hated outsiders, listened silently for fear of getting into trouble.
"So, where is the monster that is responsible for the mutation?"
"The largest tropical rainforest in the world, the Amazon Rainforest."
Facing the hummingbird leaning forward, Miranda answered calmly.
But for Hummingbird and Theon, the answer is unsettling.
"How is that possible! Demons are rampant in that land?!"
The buzzing hummingbirds in the birdcage surprised Ajid and others, and Theon, like the hummingbirds, couldn't believe Miranda's words.
"Theon, we don't understand at all. Is it dangerous for monsters to appear on the Amazon?"
"...Yes. As far as I know, this is impossible."
However, there are no absolutes in this world, and Theon knows this very well.
And Miranda, who knows the world better than Theon and the others, would not be able to say such a thing without conclusive evidence.
"The first major premise is that the ruins and lands related to religion and ancient civilizations, as well as the nature left over from ancient times, are not easily accessible."
"……Why?"
"Because I'm protected and don't let that kind of luck get close to me."
Not to mention religion, ancient civilizations basically have a deep connection with mythology.
And although I can’t say for certain that all the gods and monsters that appear in myths remain in the world, they definitely existed...
The existence of hummingbirds is one example.
Because he is a descendant of the Aztec sun god Huitzilopochtori, which means "Huitzilopochtori is real."
The actual gods were believed by people in that era, and in response to prayers and offerings, they gave humans protection against disasters and evil.
The basis of this kind of protection is temples and other ruins. Most of the ruins still retain the function of protection.
Therefore, the evil things - Anzhien are blocked by the protection and cannot approach.
The same is true for nature. In modern times, there are many elves, goblins and other people living in nature, and the barriers they have established hinder intruders.
"After investigation, we will know that there should be no examples of intruders around the Amazon rainforest... because compared with other areas, it should be protected by a strong barrier."
Regardless, this is the largest naturally reduced forest on Earth.
It is said that elves and goblins from all over the world lost their original forests and rivers and eventually drifted to the Amazon.
Moreover, the more foreign people live on that land, the stronger the barrier they create with their own hands.
"...The Amazon, protected by such a powerful barrier, became the source of that kind of luck?"
"Well, it's hard for us to believe..."
After saying a few soft words, Miranda seemed to regain her energy and began to talk about the incident.
"The culprit this time is an elf-like monster with strong surface properties... Let's call it the Great Diver hidden on the earth for the time being."
"Big dive?"
"The ability he possesses is to lurk in the earth... no, it should be said to be assimilated with the earth... he uses his semi-spiritual body to assimilate with the earth and control it as his own body."
"...Then what exactly happened?"
"Not only the earth, but also the plants that take root there can be freely manipulated... that is, the dense forest itself..."
“…Is the Amazon jungle itself the enemy?”
Xion's conclusion caused a look of astonishment on the faces of Ajid and others.
"Should be able to do such ridiculous things...!"
"How can you say there isn't? Vice Captain Glasses, you are probably the person here who lacks the least understanding of supernatural powers, right?"
Mist stood up and yelled as if he was about to kick the chair away, and Theon answered calmly.
Misty, who seemed self-conscious about what was being pointed out, suddenly lost her momentum.
"That's another question, Theon. I can't believe that."
Anna asked Theon questions on Misty's behalf.
Indeed, to humans, the jungle itself is an enemy, and I am afraid they have no impression of it.
But that's the fact, so there's nothing we can do about it.
I'm not asking you to understand the principle, I just hope you can accept it.
"Okay, okay, calm down. ...What Xion said is just extreme theory. He should not be a monster that can control the entire Amazon rainforest in one go."
"That said, it is a monster that has broken through the protection of many elves... Although it cannot be said to be the entire dense forest, it still has the power to control the corresponding range."
Theon also nodded in agreement with Miranda and Hummingbird's conversation.
"By the way, madam, have you considered a way to defeat me?"
"Of course, we have prepared props for this."
Looking at Miranda who was full of confidence, Theon realized that this was not a battle without a chance of winning, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xion and others began to listen carefully to the strategy prepared by Miranda.
It took Xion and others dozens of minutes to end their communication with Miranda.
There was a huge amount of supplies piled up in front of them.
"Magic can easily exceed our expectations."
"Yeah?"
"How could so much supplies be delivered in an instant? It would be too ridiculous for me to predict."
The mountain of supplies that couldn't be transported even by the large truck in front of me was just... delivered by magic.
Specifically, it is the space transfer magic through the magic circle.
"For us, using teleportation magic to deliver goods is a daily routine."
"Well, he would come to take care of us regularly when we were hiding in the dark."
"Your common sense seems to us to be very devoid of common sense..."
Xion looked at the dumbfounded Anna while confirming the supplies.
"This bundle of paper... is this investigation report, right? This bundle of paper seems to be a list of supplies provided."
“Do we still use paper documents in this day and age?”
Although Misty's attitude is a bit dismissive, she would definitely hate it if everyone else was proficient in using electronic data.
"However, this is ordinary copy paper...which means it can provide data."
"Probably it's my usual business habit. Because almost no one knows how to use electronic devices."
It's not so much that the witches can't use electronic machines, but rather that paper documents are specially printed because people other than the people who buy things from the witches can't use them.
Paperless society is still far away.
"It can even make things like magic flutes. At least witches can still use corresponding electronic equipment."
"There are also witches who are the same age as me. These young people can use it skillfully."
Miranda also said that the magic device is a project of the younger generation, and it should be led by these witches who use electronic devices every day.
For this reason, the details about the technology are unknown, but the terminal itself is in Xion's hands, so it can still be investigated.
"However, it is indeed a 'witch's general store'. Considering that no one except me can use magic, he specially selected modern weapons that can be used by mobile armors and infantry."
After looking at the list, I saw the minimum tools that required professional knowledge - that was enough for Theon to use.
Most of them are ordinary firearms that are engraved with magic circles and transformed into something that is effective against darkness, or they use silver bullets with the power to exorcise evil spirits, which can be used without any knowledge of magic.
"But Xion, it's obviously a mail order for outsiders, but he sells weapons for humans? Isn't it necessary?"
"There are also races that are not very powerful in the human world, and there are also people who were born in families related to the human world, but have average magic power and are almost ordinary people. The demand is there."
In response to Anna's answer, I also roughly searched for supplies and found a few interesting things.
"This is awesome! Use RPG against monsters!"
"Why does it look like an ordinary RPG!? There is even such a thing!?"
Theon carries what looks like a prototype anti-tank grenade launcher.
At first glance it is difficult to tell that they are weapons used by human armies.
"Although that's the case, as long as it's not particularly big, you can get lucky with a medium-sized one."
"That's amazing... You really don't need to return it?"
"That's the deal."
