Chapter 143 – The Tower That Extends Underground (6)
“… Our guild has been doing something for the first time in a while.”
After hearing Dana’s story, I put the words that came to my mind into my muzzle and fired.
While the other two guilds were looking for ruins related to black magic, Kaksodumra, who had been researching ruins that were unknown where they came from, had finally achieved results.
It’s like that steamy bitch, right? The chest becomes grand.
Even if he hadn’t fucking fucked us, I would have genuinely admired the achievement.
So we met at the tavern on the first floor of Sam’s Rest Inn.
“Since the archaeological world has found enough ruins to keep an eye on, it will be competing with others.”
Said Tyrsi. She said she had nothing to do even if she returned to the guild today, and she stayed at the inn. She was in order to teach magic to Fran and Lari-Lura, who had come to their senses.
It’s important for adventurers to make friends with their party members.
“There will almost certainly be competition. Not to mention adventurers, there must be many people who are aiming for a life reversal in the ruins.”
Dana said as she ordered water.
I think I’ve said it before, but I couldn’t claim ownership of ruins or dungeons in another world. This is a religion-related travia that, to put it in detail, is going to be fucking long.
In summary, it is an arranged version of the otherworldly religious version of “Are you going to patent the sun?”
It’s different from when each had a dungeon to explore or set up guards to prevent damage to the ruins, like the last Beast Return ruins incident.
Probably a lot of people flock to the ruins related to the warlock.
“Dana. Wasn’t the delay in exploring the ruins to prevent this from happening?”
“Uh. It won’t be an exploration that will end in a day or two. If you start exploring properly, it will attract attention.”
Real ruin exploration is hard work that is completely different from what happens on a mobile phone or monitor like a game.
It took several weeks to complete the exploration of the small ruins as we fought carefully while carrying bags of food and loot while proceeding carefully so as not to get hurt or rummage.
‘It won’t be over in one or two months to secure the level of safety to allow research on the ruins.’
Is there any other reason why fucking otherworldly archaeologists are so obsessed with relics that they don’t fuck with historical research?
While doing such heavy labor, even a competitor who only steals relics is intervening.
While conducting microbe observation experiments under a microscope, they make a fuss next to you, steal samples, and sometimes even try to kill you.
It’s human psychology to get mad just by pooping next to you while stacking fucking dominoes. Even if it’s me, I’ll just take my artifacts and go home.
“Until I issued the order, even in the academic world, the stance was to start exploration after the research institute was completed. But what kind of answer will come when the telegram I sent arrives?”
Dana looked at us at the table and said.
“Since this happened, I will also explain the ruins. It seems that when the exploration order comes down, we will start the requested place name request.”
“Uh? Can I speak here?”
Lalilura looked sideways at the people who filled the bar. You must be worried about who will hear you.
I answered that question.
“It depends on how much you say, but it won’t matter. It’s already been talked about quite a bit.”
I didn’t turn around and focused all my attention on hearing.
Then I heard the conversation of the people gathered in the bar.
“Max. I have a big job to earn. How is it?”
“He said he was buying alcohol for some reason, so he must have an ulterior motive. What do you mean?”
A thief with a bright ear and a warrior who looks like a dead person.
“… So let’s look at the state. You never know what dangers may lurk inside the ruins.”
“And what if you miss the most important treasure? I agree with the opinion that it shouldn’t go into the stage cannon, but I’m in a hurry for money.”
A team of adventurers with conflicting opinions.
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous if it were the ruins that the warlocks were aiming for? As far as I know, that warlock was a monstrous golem master of the mithril class.”
“It’s bullshit. Rumors grow with each passing word. If that’s real, then how does a foreign Bronze from Audumla make a difference in battle?”
“I know because a friend of mine participated in it, but he said he couldn’t see because it was blocked by a large golem. I’ve heard that it’s at the level of watching the foreign mithril classes do everything from the sidelines?”
Even those who have a serious discussion.
‘… No, but am I not the btak they talk about?’
In Sargadis, I must have become Mr. Roh, the foreigner who was so damn lucky to have picked up a stake in the last battle.
‘Well, that’s it. It’s more comfortable and better than attracting attention.’
With that, I was able to move on to aegyo. You never know how rumors will spread.
‘I’ve already made contact with the city’s powerful people.’
I had a face-to-face meeting with the boss, but there was no reason to care about the thoughts of other employees.
Perhaps those who grasped the reality seemed to be keeping their mouth shut about the details of the battle. Even the bad taste of monopolizing information from other world people sometimes helps.
Then Dana took a drink of water and said.
“My sister-in-law is right. Since Audumra approved it, the rumor spread, and now there is only one thing left to do to spread it to other territories. So let’s exchange information during this time.”
“How far did the research director understand?”
“Informally, please call me Dana. This is all I have been told, but I can make some guesses.”
“Look, who?”
The questioner was Fran. Dana poked me in the shoulder.
“Audumra called a research team because of the ruins that Fran and you and this guy went together. Before they went back, I also went to investigate the site where the black magician ran rampant, and I just found it there.”
“The research team that discovered it hid it and reported it to the academic world, but in the meantime, did they find the same ruins in Audumra?”
“It will. He may have noticed the research team’s hints.”
“Audumraga? That’s a fucking unconvincing hypothesis.”
We don’t have that kind of intelligence in our fucking guild.
I saw with my own eyes the incompetence of Carlisle’s calf. The hypothesis was far from convincing.
Dana brushed her hands like it was okay.
“Ah, okay. Anyway, the important thing is that it’s only a matter of time before the location of the ruins spreads. I also hurriedly sent a report, but I think it would be better to start with on-the-spot judgment.”
“Well. Just listening to it makes me worried. Dana must have been a headache too.”
“Whoops. Right? As expected, only Fran knows.”
“I knew it too, but I didn’t say it, wife.”
“Yeah, pretending to be cool is disgusting.”
“No, this is Sibamba.”
When I was depressed, Tirshi secretly laughed and asked Dana.
“Well sir. Dana, what are the locations and characteristics of the ruins? Oh And you can feel free to tell me too.”
“Thank you, Tyrsi. You will know where it is.”
Having said that, Dana poked her table with her finger.
“The birthplace of the golem where the warlock hid. Inside that big pit, the tower of an ancient civilization was discovered.”
***
Towers are unpopular structures in this world.
Because it is weak in terms of defense. For a slim tower, if you apply magic to the wall, it will be fine. It slanted over and turned into a mansion.
‘I could make it as strong as a castle wall if I pay attention to the building materials.’
Is there any reason to be so obsessed with the tower?
High-rise buildings are built to create a lot of living space in a small land like my real hometown, Korea. However, since that building is prone to collapsing, it is inevitable that it will not be popular.
That’s why, except for the lighthouse and the clock tower, it’s hard to see a big tower in this world.
That was the reason.
“A tower?”
That’s why I was surprised to hear Dana’s explanation.
Fran and other party members could not hide their surprise. But it’s not a surprise in the good sense. I found a treasure chest, but it feels like it was a box with a lock.
“If that ruin is a tower… I don’t think there are any great artifacts.”
As if it was difficult for Fran to speak, he expressed his opinion.
“Nor did that last time. Ruins are ‘great buildings’ for us modern people, but they were commonplace for people at the time.”
“I think so too~? Wouldn’t it be hard to find a person who keeps valuables in the tower even in the era of ancient civilization~?”
Lalilura also smiled awkwardly and said that.
As I said, the tower is not a preferred structure.
No one puts important things in such a place.
=It is difficult to find a good artifact in the ruins of the tower.
It was a pretty logical conclusion. However, I found an error in their opinions with the logic of the elite-dagger.
“It won’t be a simple tower. If it was a tower that stretched upward, other people would have discovered it. The archeology community probably wouldn’t have been very interested in it.”
It is also a newly discovered ruin in Amman Guryeo. The archaeological field workers will come and find the thesis on their own.
In academia, you only need to report while doing other things. That’s what field scholars are paid for.
However, now we are directly dispatching people and receiving reports.
What could this mean!
“Yes. This is no ordinary top. Did you say It was found ‘in a pit’.”
At my words, Dana let out a deep sigh.
“There is a tower that I can’t even figure out how many floors it has, deeply embedded in the ground. It’s definitely not an ordinary underground ruin. They said they couldn’t find the entrance from what appeared to be the roof of the tower.”
“Yeah? Is there no entrance?”
“──It means ‘I didn’t assume entry and exit’.”
Tyrsi concluded. A cold, beautiful face made an impression. It must have been because he felt a sense of incongruity in the structure of the tower.
Because ‘sense of incongruity’ in relic exploration means ‘danger’.
“The owner of the tower probably isn’t even an underground monster, but it’s very creepy that the entrance is blocked. Was it buried in a ground accident?”
“Nope. There was a geographer on the research team that discovered the tower, so they did some research. There was no tectonic shift around Sargadis that would cause a whole building to collapse.”
“Then it’s okay. In common sense, if such a massive earthquake had occurred, it would have been left in the history of other countries.”
“It must have been the remains of an ancient civilization, right? Could the record be lost?”
After saying that, Frank immersed himself in a thought as if it had come to his mind, then brought up a question.
“How about the architectural style of the ruins? I couldn’t find it, but there might actually be a doorway. Like Nidavellir, you built a city underground and only the tower remains?”
“The form has also been inspected. It is said to be the mid-term culture of Orwalia.”
“Are you Orwalia?”
Surprisingly, it was Lalilura who pricked up her ears.
Come to think of it, there are no Britannians in our party—— Me and the other party, who were thinking the same thing, focused on Lalilura.
“Oh, no. Sorry for interrupting you. Go on.”
Even Lari Lu, who naturally spoke up, shook her head in embarrassment.
Did she just chime in with her? If he knew something important, he wouldn’t be quiet, so it wouldn’t be a big deal if he knew.
Orwalia is known as an ancient civilization country in Britannia. How much would he know if Ralilura, a Romanian, recognized him?
“I know from my research, but it’s hard to find a record that Orwalia built an underground structure. I don’t know why such a country’s tower was found underground.”
Dana thought so too, scratching her head.
“Anyway, it’s a really creepy ruin. I can see why the research team remains. The more dangerous the ruins are, the greater the gain.”
“Hehe. It would be futile if it ended with ‘It turned out that the three-story underground warehouse was buried in an accident~’.”
Dana responded with a laugh at the words thrown at her to lighten her mood.
“Hot. Even if that happens, I have nothing to lose. There will be more empty spaces in the biography, but damn, that shit is nothing compared to the harvest I got from coming here.”
─Tok tok. Saying that, Dana lightly kicked my instep.
To that, I happily twisted the corner of my mouth and responded bitterly.
“Dana, my wife. There seems to be a misunderstanding. You didn’t get me I got you.”
“Puhh. What are you sick? That’s it.”
“Wrong? Then, according to Shobu, we were picked up by Fran.”
“Is it him? Let’s do it.”
Yep, I’m a baby master. Fran Maman Mamazo.
As I clung to Fran with that kind of heartbeat, Fran patted my head.
“Whoops. So? Then I will play norge.”
“No, huh? Do you want to wait for sleep? Fran, if you do that, I will become the weakest member of the food chain in my family.”
“Tsk tsk. It’s like a pitiful eye. I wrote heartily. I’ll take care of it for you.”
“Really? Then get down, bitch.”
“Dedet?”
The atmosphere, which continued to grow heavy without a good countermeasure, was relieved by our family’s stand-up comedy show. The secret to a long run is to adjust the pace like this at any workplace.
At that time, Larry Lura raised his hand and said.
“Hey, hey? If you think about it positively, I don’t think it’s bad that things turned out this way☆!”
“Ok? Why.”
“Isn’t it? If it’s an insignificant ruin, it won’t hurt your stomach if you miss the artifact, and if it’s a dangerous ruin, it’ll be safer than attacking by ourselves, right?”
That was another idea I hadn’t thought of. When you do archeology work, you get the impression that your competitors = bastards who kill people.
Dana and I nodded at the positive idea that was possible because we were amateurs.
“It’s worth it. Fights may break out over the ruins, but if there is an anti-robbery measure in the ruins, there are many people to fight with, so there’s nothing wrong with that.”
“Great. Think positively. We believe that replies from academia will come sooner than the arrival of equipment or other researchers, so take note of that.”
Dana clapped like a slate on set. She seemed to be intending to conclude this discussion.
“The other researchers aren’t combat agents, so we’re going to be exploring with only five people anyway.
We will change the number of people in the party according to individual schedules, but we will start exploring the ruins as soon as we receive a reply.”
“Yeah. I’ll set the schedule.”
“Yes~♡!”
Calm and lively, it was 100% the exact opposite answer.
Anyway, looking at the atmosphere, it seemed that Lalilura was also going to participate in the exploration of the ruins. Lari Lura, who met her eyes with mine, smiled at her eyes.
She then pursed her lips as if she had just noticed.
“Oh! By the way, can Dana and her sister fight too? Or wait in the lab?”
In response to a question about ensuring the safety of her client, Dana put her chin on her chin and smiled with her signature confident smile.
“Of course you will follow me? Still, I want you to think of it as an increase in party members rather than baggage.”
“Ah, that’s right. Here, this dog hair is the most desperately needed ability in our party.”
“Dana?”
Fran was also interested in my words.
Oh, come to think of it, she didn’t tell me what he was doing.
─Nicely.
I crossed the index fingers of both of her hands in the shape of a cross, stomping her toe at Dana in exchange for her dog-haired comment.
“This guy is a healer.”
According to the 21st century taxonomy, you’d be a heel tang.
