Chapter 94

Sunny Sunday morning.

“Wow.”

The child who woke up early today was in a good mood. Usually waking up early on weekends makes me feel bad, but not anymore.

After roughly drying her hair, she headed straight to the technical department.

The weather is clear as always, and the air is cool and refreshing. The wind tickles the nape of your neck pleasantly.

Rockstrin arrives at the tech department around 8:00 every morning and opens the door.

You said there were no classes, but you must be doing something hard by yourself again, right?

This early morning is the time to monopolize the rock screen. That was the reason why I purposely came to the technical department and fell asleep during the week.

“Rox~”

clap.

The child who turned the doorknob with a smiley face hesitated.

“oh.”

is it locked

Jumping up and looking through the window, there was no one inside. Don’t even ask Maria.

Judging by the sound of knocking on something from the studio, it looks like Nael is in the studio.

“Neil, are you there?”

“Good morning, Your Highness.”

Naiel was still wrestling with iron and flame. Aindarlock is all workaholic. I wish I could get some rest.

“Has the Rocks not happened yet? The door is locked.”

“I was in the technical department earlier, but it seems that I have already left. He probably went outside. He’s coming to see some work.”

“I went to Jedo yesterday. Again?”

“He left a letter on the desk saying that His Highness would come and ask about it later. The key is by the door.”

“thank you!”

Are you telling me now?

Ainim came out with the key to the engineering department hanging on the wall of the workshop.

Apparently, yesterday’s incident bothered me. It was a thousand luck that I didn’t get noticed. Also, he was bad at lying. Especially for Rocktrin.

I see a music box lying on the desk.

“I’m sorry, Rocks.”

Judging by the fact that the handle is in a different position from the last time I saw it yesterday, I think I heard it once in the morning.

The marbles inside the music box were video recording devices skillfully covered with decorations.

When Rockstrin sits down, just zoom in on his face. Neil finally made it.

I’ll have to wait at least a month to see the results, but it bothers me that I didn’t tell you.

Let’s start with the letter. The child shook his head.

[To members]

[I’m going to be away for about 15 days. I urgently needed someone who knows ancient languages, but the professors are all busy, so I went.

The destination is in the western part of the Menlua Desert. What remains have you found? People have already gone in and out, but nothing is dangerous.

I’m going to take a mage like me with me and take a good look inside. It’s just for fun, it’s a vacation, so you don’t have to worry. Maybe you will find a valuable treasure.]

“Are you okay… … ?”

At first glance, that sounds like it.

There are no monsters in Menlua Desert in the first place. What’s wrong with being a relic?

There are things like pictures carved on a dull earthen wall, old people say Oh, this! and make a fuss

so?

What’s good about having it?

In Ainim’s opinion, they are worth less than a piece of bread.

Of course, as Rockstrin says, if it’s just for fun… … .

‘… … fun?’

Come to think of it, yes.

Entering such a gloomy basement and lighting a low light.

In a dark place where only the sound of footsteps echoes, it is to dig out the secret of something. Of course, there is a premise that Rockstrin next to him should explain it.

‘It’s gonna be fun!’

There was also a desire to hide from other members and follow him alone.

But I didn’t want to hide it even from Hira. If three are left out, the other two will be bored, so I’d rather go with Baeller and Frid.

The letter doesn’t say not to come along. By making it rich.

‘I have to chase after him.’

Ainim, who left the technical department, immediately called the members together. Even if he didn’t like it, he intended to take it by force.

“Let’s go on vacation together, Rocks!”

* * *

The stairs leading to the basement continued for ten minutes.

The plan was to have the knights who escorted the ruins stand by outside, and to thoroughly investigate the ruins for two days with a total of 16 expeditions.

Mordrance and I took the leading positions on the left and right, respectively.

As they advanced holding magic lights one by one, Mordrance lightly recited his impressions.

“It seems to be getting hotter, but this time it seems to be the opposite.”

“I came down about 50m, and from 40m it became bearable… … .”

“Do you know the height?”

“I did about 10 at first. It won’t be accurate.”

With the light tucked under my armpit, I was walking while writing notes in a notebook.

I measured the height of each step with a tape measure, and the average of 10 steps was about 15 cm. The variance was quite severe.

“The height was simply counting the number of steps.”

“Is that so?”

“Uh ha ha, we are doing miscellaneous things like that. Sir Rockstrin.”

Philip said right behind him.

“It’s like a diary. You should keep as detailed a record as possible so that you can have fun talking to others later, right?”

“To be honest, we also have to keep it to use it for chatting in bars. how people like it.”

“Have you paid for a drink recently?”

“No!”

I didn’t have any great purpose, that’s all. In short, it’s called unraveling. I’m sure the members will enjoy this story as well.

“Soon the stairs will end.”

The flushed face cooled down a bit.

It was hot, but it was a little tolerable.

“How wide is it?”

“It is a gentle oval with a long diameter of about 600m. It is divided into eight spaces.”

As a reference, Philip held out a hand drawing drawn on a notepad.

An egg-shaped ellipse with eight cracked slices like a pizza.

While the inside, which corresponds to a slice of pizza, is relatively messy, the border side looks like a continuous corridor.

“600m is quite long.”

“Still, nothing stood out, so three days should be enough.”

It is an ellipse that is close to a circle in diameter and has a circumference of 2 km.

It’s a shame because the structure is simple, but it was an enormous size that could fit 20 in a soccer field.

“We can find old traces, and you two can find traces of magic.”

“Then let’s split it in half and look at it.”

right after coming down the stairs.

As in the beginning, the party split into the Imperial side and the Enpyrian side.

We decided to check the inside of the oval on the way back, and agreed to meet on the opposite side first along the rim on both sides.

Since it is divided into two, the distance each person has to walk is 350m. It’s not very far, considering it’s about a lap around Summerturgy’s playground.

“First of all, it is not a natural joint. Like the sharp corners.”

“Even if it is used as a warehouse, it should be a granary, not an arsenal at this size.”

“There is no trace of rat poop.”

“The situation may be different inside.”

As expected of experts in exploration, the story came and went busily. It seems that you can see it just by taking a few steps and looking at the floor.

At first, I also looked around intently as I walked. It was a narrow aisle where two men would bump their shoulders when walking.

The ceiling was also quite low, so if you were just a bit taller, you could stretch out your hand and reach it. 2.2m? That’s about it.

“Can’t you feel anything with magic power?”

“Yes. The floor, walls and ceiling are plain.”

Artifacts are hidden inside eight separate rooms.

To be or not to be, what comes out. It is random among 120 artifacts.

I was looking for magic to see if there was something, but I couldn’t feel anything from the hallway.

“Ghmm, there’s nothing on the wall.”

“Let’s walk slowly and see.”

The members of the expedition who were squatting stood up.

Nothing was found, so the detailed examination phase was over.

There are no murals that would normally be found in ruins, and not a single word of an ancient language can be seen.

“Ugh.”

hot.

It’s hot.

I wish Auril was here… … . I was thinking useless thoughts.

“I know one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Perhaps this place was not thoroughly planned and built.”

Philip, who was walking with his left hand on the wall, said.

“The stairs going down were all at different heights, so I almost fell several times. Even in a modest baron’s mansion, the stairs aren’t built like that.”

“It certainly is.”

“Also, the corners of the walls and floors are too jagged. The ceiling is reinforced with stone, but the floor is still dirt… … .”

The man who was listening next to him responded.

“But that is strange. Isn’t a space built in haste so big? It doesn’t match.”

“How about a monster passing by and digging the ground? The stairs were built later.”

“You mean those Nydus worms that are appearing these days? For that matter, the ground is flat except for the corners. I mean a lot of people passed by.”

“Everyone, stop for a moment.”

Then someone stopped the group.

I pushed in the light. Members of the expedition swarmed in so hastily that I couldn’t even see them.

Passion and age have nothing to do with it.

“Is this text?”

“I-I want because my eyes are blurry… … . I can’t even see the tiny grains.”

“Looks like graffiti? This is exactly what my youngest would look like when he scrawls in a book.”

“It sounds like torture.”

“Move aside, I will compare!”

There seems to be something written on the wall. If it’s torture, I can read it, but for now, I decided not to deprive them of their pleasure.

“stomach… … . Oldie… … . Tomol… … .”

“Do you know any words?”

“All I know is that we are.”

“Because they’re like damn Lidens. I don’t have words to use!”

I don’t even care

Since the elders of the expedition did not come out with an answer even after 10 minutes of brainstorming, I quietly stepped forward.

“Ugh. Let me take a look.”

“Oops! Lord Rockstrin was there!”

“Did you say you knew the ancient language?”

Only then did the expedition team withdraw from their heavy buttocks and withdraw from their seats.

Who did you think was the one shining the lights in the back?

“I have researched on my own, so I will be able to interpret it better than the data distributed by Leeden.”

“I believed you, Lord Rockstryn!”

This is so bizarre.

According to the setting, ‘ancient language’ is a language that was used a long time ago, before the current language was used.

But I can’t put in enough effort to invent a new language system.

It’s a game made in Korean anyway, so I didn’t even think about it for a long time. The letters that were put in the cutscenes were alphabets.

So, at the beginning of the semester, when Ai-nim asked about the laser, I found out about it.

The tortured language is just English.

‘If I go to Leeden, there will be a commotion.’

Liden is said to have the first stele written in an archaic language, and of course they are all in English.

Of course, there was no way I could do anything good for Riden, and according to the child, it was the imagination theory that came out by interpreting it.

what more? Wi Oldie Tomol?

I was curious too. English right?

“I’m dying of curiosity.”

“What is written on it?”

Philip urged with bright eyes like a child. They all had the same facial expressions, so we laughed.

Let’s see.

“So-“

uh.

My mouth was tight.

Even the blown font is readable.

can be read and interpreted.

WE ALL DIE TOMORROW.
