Chapter 84 – Ancient Underpass
I followed the dwarves and went into the mine. The Dwarf who was guiding us smiled pretending to be friendly.
“My name is Basil Beard!”
“Nice to meet you. I am Rash Leonhardt of Gale Wars.”
“I never thought I would see the son of the famous Hero Reiner. Haha, then we should be proud. The mine you are going to is the largest here!”
Basil Beard spreads both hands out like he’s really proud. Of course, he was the same height as me, so it felt a bit faded.
Even so, it struck me that the tunnel was large. Almost double compared to other tunnels.
“Okay. If we continue like this, will a secret path come out?”
“Okay. Nowhere else, there is an ancient underpass. These words!”
The ancient underpass was so deep and wide that the current underpass was incomparable to the underground city that existed only in legends.
Even in the game, if you progress after the middle part, it comes out, but there were cases where I couldn’t wake up all day because I got lost while questing here.
It was also one of the reasons why the game I was playing became Najak’s game.
‘The real setting was solid, and the character modeling was the best ever. Ha.’
Well, didn’t I come here to raise the rating and protect it?
Anyway, I’m still wondering. I WhyDid I have to come here? That’s good, though.
“Wait.”
We arrived in front of a huge iron gate. It was huge and magnificent, as if only giants came and went.
Basil Beard shrugged his shoulders.
“As everyone knows, the superiority of the underpass is one. The underpass crosses rivers, crosses mountains, and is made up of straight lines that even blaspheme the sky.”
“Which direction should I go?”
“Take this.”
He held out a medal. It was a medal made of copper plated with silver on the outside. It was a cheap item that I couldn’t find much even if I sold it.
‘Medal? Didn’t something like this exist in the original?’
As I was tilting my head, Basilbeard smiled.
“That’s a navigation medal! I have it set to your capital, Myra, and it will glow green if you go in the right direction.”
Put it on the iron gate A medal that glows green for a moment.
It was amazing. It’s difficult to get lost in the underpass. Dwarves developed something like this?
‘Dwarf technology is the best in the world!’
I couldn’t help but cheer inwardly. Yes, if I had put something like this in the game, wouldn’t it have reduced 30% of the swearing I’m eating right now!
Seeing the medal shining green, the party members were also impressed.
“Oh, clothes! Really shine! Like a jewel!”
“Oh my gosh, it’s brilliant♥”
“It’s not as clunky as I thought, and I can feel the sophisticated technology.”
I looked down at the medal for a while. Lumina tilted her head to see if she had any questions.
“What if I go in the wrong direction?”
“It will glow yellow. Remember these two things… Oh, but there’s one more. This is done.”
Basilbeard shook his head. Does that make you want to hear more?
Her aunt asked, looking down at Basil Beard. Ah, I like this composition looking down, the aunt’s thin jawline shines through!
“What about the other one?”
“No. You don’t have to know that, and you don’t have to know. You just have to go in the right direction. Then there will be no red light!”
What the hell were you trying to say? That’s why it’s a fire for nothing. Are you raising a flag?
Aki smiled happily.
“I have a premonition of something uneasy♥”
Clap, kihii profit! Coo goo!
Finally, the iron door slid open. The dust rose for a moment and then settled.
A dingy, primitive, dirt and stone underpass caught my eye.
The unique humid feeling and smell of the basement was strong, but a different, old but mysterious smell also came.
Is this an ancient underpass? Oh my god.
We immediately got into the carriage and set off. Basil Beard waved his hand goodbye.
“Goodbye! If you are going to come back here, just keep going the way you came!”
“Thank you! Basilbeard, dwarf teachers!”
After answering with all my might, I looked back at the front. Rin also started running lightly at a moderate pace.
As we kept going, the medallion glowed green.
“Hwiyu, this place is cleaner than I thought, isn’t it?”
A laugh came out at Lumina’s words. Doesn’t it look neat or really neat?
I looked out the window. The underpass was larger and wider than expected.
It was the height of the first floor of a tolerable mansion and was so wide that five wagons could pass side by side.
And honestly, I was amazed. It’s because I actually pass through places that I only saw in games.
Even the air felt on my skin felt special.
‘How come it feels like a virtue?’
Even if the meaning is vastly different, reaching what you like will be the same.
Now, it would be nice if we could go on like this without anything happening.
“Hmm?”
As I was slowly moving forward, I saw something on the wall or ceiling.
Here and there, there were stone slabs with unknown characters engraved on them, luminous pearls, and lanterns that gave off strange orange light.
I tilted my head and was surprised. Why are these things here? Like fragments of ruins.
“What is written on that slate?”
The carriage stopped at my question. Her aunt took a quick look and shook her head.
“This is a text I have never seen before. If you look at it roughly, it seems to be similar to the characters used by the Dark Elves.”
The letters used by Dark Elves? Why is it here in the first place?
Since it is an ancient underpass, it must have existed since ancient times. Things from ancient times can also be found here. If you’re lucky, there will be treasures too.
It was strange though. There was such a slab, why did the dwarves leave it alone?
‘Haa, I miss the Dark Elf Sister?’
So close. I was so sorry that my stomach burned like soy sauce.
I should have brought Laurel. I didn’t have any particular reason to bring her in, so I left her to watch Weaverpool.
If she had, would she have figured something out? We set off again
Dag dag, dag dag.
I feel it as I go, but there are many forks in the road here and there. There were places where the original road seemed to be blocked. Aki put on a serious expression.
“The more I look at it, the more I am amazed. The dwarves are opening all the streets here.”
I was told
“It will not be all. Some dogs may have originally existed, or some may have been discovered accidentally.”
My aunt interrupted our conversation, fixing her golden rosary.
“To think that there is a place like this under the ground where we usually step. I can’t believe it. I never learned this even in the capital.”
The more I looked, the more I admired it. Do the people living up there know that a place like this exists?
I don’t even know in my dreams That’s where we’re crossing.
‘It’s like going on a tour.’
In the past, when I was a student, I went to a place where North Korea dug a tunnel. It was really deep. I was surprised to learn that the deep place has become a tourist destination.
Cooong.
What? What?
I asked Lumina.
“Rumina, did you feel the vibration just now?”
“What are you talking about? I don’t know By the way, doesn’t it smell like burnt? It’s not exactly the same.”
“Suddenly, what’s that burnt smell?”
“Um, is it an illusion? It’s underground, so it’s humid.”
Lumina giggled. By the way, is it just my own misunderstanding?
‘I must have felt the vibration?’
Cooong.
Oh look at this Do you feel it again?
I swallowed her dry saliva and waited. Come again? Also?
Cooong.
Two minutes later it rang again. This was a bummer
‘It feels like some kind of vibration is getting closer?’
I just looked out the window. Maybe it was just my mood. It’s just that I’m excited, I’m excited.
‘Because we’re not the only ones using the underpass. But if it makes a sound like this, where does an earthquake happen?’
Or they didn’t even know that a battle was going on on the ground. But still, this is a bit questionable.
I was tilting my head, and then something seemed to come to mind.
‘Wait a minute, didn’t something happen when the main character went underground in the original work?’
I tried to remember. I had a hunch that if I couldn’t remember it, something big would happen.
But oddly I couldn’t remember.
‘Fuck, what was that? It must have been an important quarterly event?’
“Hey everyone! What do you smell? Really? Am I the only one?”
Rumina asked loudly. Thanks to that, my concentration was broken.
“What does it smell like?”
“No, not at all.”
“It just smells like mold, you mean?”
At our reply, Rumina let out a sigh of relief from the ground.
“No! What should I do? Different from mold Oh, it’s hard to express this. It’s a mix of many things.”
“No, don’t you feel the vibration more than that? Really?”
“What kind of vibration, all the time? Are you sure you’re not talking about magic engineering? Are you a crazy bastard?”
A peek laughed out. Why are we talking about dildos here, damn it.
“You are crazy. Got a womb in your brain? Why am I talking like that?”
“But why does it keep vibrating drip?”
“Oh, noisy. Stop dripping the smell!”
It seemed right that I and Lumina were feeling something. But I was vibrating.
Smell? I do not know. The basement smells pretty good, though.
Time passed by laughing and chatting. I went on without incident, but suddenly my field of vision widened.
“Uh? Where is it?”
Originally used as a shelter, a messy empty lot came out. I suggested.
“Let’s rest here for a while! I don’t even know how long it ran.”
It seems to have been running for quite a while, but the time was ambiguous. Everyone got off the wagon.
The vibration was still felt over a long period of time. My aunt was surprised by my side.
“There are stone slabs here too. Oh my, isn’t the floor itself a stone slab?”
I looked down. A slab of stone whose size was difficult to measure was forming the floor.
There were also many stone slabs on the walls. Anyone who sees it would think they left a guestbook at a popular restaurant.
‘Oh, isn’t it a real guestbook? Are we mistaken for some kind of great historical record?’
Please don’t It’s stupid, too.
Aki took a notebook and wrote down the slabs one by one.
“Aki, what are you doing?”
“I’ll show it to anyone who might know this later! Maybe it’s time? Whoops♥”
Aki likes poetry. I wondered if it was textbook-like for a Japanese heroine.
It’s good to run wild during sex.
“Everyone rests for about an hour. Rin, get some rest too!”
He stroked Rin’s head and let him rest. I looked around some more, sat down on the floor, and leaned against the carriage.
I came to sit comfortably in the carriage, but I was strangely tired.
‘I have to remember something here. Ah, why doesn’t it come to mind?’
It was a very strange thing. Whether it’s a game or an original story, I remembered everything.
Why is this the case?
I was thinking for a while when my aunt came and sat down next to me. The aunt holding her body close together and leaning her head.
The smell of her body, despite her travels, was fragrant.
Yes, this is happiness That the people I like are my adventure mates.
She laughed softly and put her arm around her shoulder.
＊＊＊
Inside the wagon.
The medal that Rash left behind fell to the floor. The medal slowly, but surely.
Started to glow red.
