Chapter 149 – Visitors From Another Dimension (3)
“Whoa. Maybe it’s the Potion Lab. It was fucking bullshit.”
Dana said that like a child who found a Nintendo English game in a present from Grandpa Santa.
Damn I felt the same way.
Potion research institutes of ancient civilizations have been discovered a lot from long ago. The technology has also been analyzed a lot.
Elixir, the finest potion, can be reproduced with a budget!
Ruins related to potions were a place where the value was lost.
“It is still too early to be disappointed. Maybe there are other facilities downstairs?”
Fran said that as if to comfort her, but Dana shook her head.
“Franc. See that big glass marble over there? That’s a professional distiller. It’s so dirty that we can’t use it, and it’s so common that it’s not even sold as an antique. But the place where I placed it was a hundred potion labs.”
“That, is it?”
“Yes… You’re right, though. It’s a shame to give up already. Let’s do a little research.”
At Dana’s words after she unlocked the shield, we started investigating.
He wouldn’t have set a trap inside the lab. The utensils used by people in the past had rust or mold, and it seemed that even the mold had been lost.
“Here!! It’s a journal!!”
Tirsi found a notebook made of high-quality material and withstood the passage of time, but that too was a hit. Ink was cheap compared to paper, so it smeared and soaked, making it impossible to read.
“Huh…”
Tirthy’s cheeks turned red, as if she was embarrassed for shouting loudly after pulling out a slam.
──In the end, the 30-minute effort ended with a high school student.
Fran also knocked on the wall to investigate, and Dana and I tried to use our experience and knowledge, but nothing was found. All I could see was paper that was so messed up that it was unusable.
Only the sour smell of dead herbal vinegar filled the room. The combo of the fucking smell of grass & sour damp smell spread throughout the unventilated ruins, and it felt like shit.
“… Shall we go out?”
“Okay.
I answered Tirshi’s words. We shook off the shock of our hard work and tried to set off.
“——Huh?”
That is, until I found a piece of parchment under a collapsed wall.
The walls were not broken down and fell over like a large checkerboard or chessboard. It was buried in the stone debris on the side of the wall, so I didn’t even notice it during my investigation.
I told the party members.
“Wait for a moment. Just look at that.”
“What? What?”
“It looks like there is something on the wall over there.”
One hundred words are unbelievable. I carefully examine the paper spread on the collapsed wall. If it was so poorly preserved, it could tear as soon as it was picked up.
-Busssss.
─Suck.
I put away the stone and grabbed the end of the paper. The texture is thick and soft. Could it be leather paper? Feeling like it would tear if I pulled it, I put my head on the floor and looked at the text.
The letters in ancient Romanian were:
〈## ## temporary base coordinates.〉
“──Temporary coordinates?”
After interpreting the text, I muttered in surprise.
The first letter was damaged and could not be read. Still, the letters were clear compared to the state of preservation, probably using good ink.
‘Coordinates on parchment? Base?’
No matter how little air flows in an enclosed space, after hundreds of years, the parchment remains in shape!
This horse was just parchment, paper made by processing the skin of a creature with strong vitality like a monster. On top of that, if you wrote letters in high-quality ink and pasted them on the wall——
“──This is fucking, isn’t it a map?!”
“Map?!”
Dana, who was frowning at my eccentricity, exclaimed in shock.
A map of the era of ancient civilization! It was a valuable artifact that sometimes became a treasure map.
For example, an old map indicates that there is a facility in southern Britannia, but there are no reports of modern humans finding ruins there?
Then, there was a high probability that undiscovered ruins would come out if we searched there. That meant monopolizing a new, fucking unknown ruin!
─Whiririk! Chuck! I jumped up and shouted.
“What are the base coordinates! Dana! Ground reinforcement!”
“Reinforcements?! Shit, I only brought Kansis type B!!”
Dana took out a potion that made old paper stronger from her bag and cursed.
Cansis B-type——Simply put, it meant a slightly cheaper reinforcing agent. In other words, you need to use milk for cooking, but it feels like only low-fat milk is available.
“Patience. No, that’s okay. That’s it! I touched it, but it’s not to the extent that it comes off my hands, so I’m sure it’ll work out somehow.”
There was no room to go back to pick up another potion.
Didn’t we pierce the space that used to be full of traps? It was safe to assume that there was a 100% chance that other hyenas would snoop around and pick up the map while I was away.
“German silver?! Are two bottles enough?!”
“You should try it! There will be no peak——! Franc! Lend me your core knife and hammer!”
“Uh? Oh yes!”
Gathering the missing tools, Dana and I went to work.
Sipal But how many months has this been? I don’t know if I can do it right. Even after restoring the torn map, it was difficult to read.
Dana raised the corner of her mouth, as if I was clearly showing off.
“Hey, you sick bastard. What’s stiff Do you do this once or twice?”
“No, you’re a fucking woman. It’s been more than 2 months since I dropped the hammer, but you’re not scared? You’re proud of yourself for being a slave for a long time.
“Are you black? Why am I an ajumma, my dad’s reserve army bastard?”
“Because she’s my wife, fuck her. Aren’t you going to marry me?”
“… Uh, is that so? When did I become out of stock?”
“This isn’t a fucking bitch. She left nothing but love for her husband in the very depths. Take off your doctor’s cap, bitch.”
“This fuck… Alright dude I don’t know why I can’t die and live by this baby. “
“Because I was born sweet in the world?”
“Give me the hammer, fuck you. Reinforce your wagyu.”
While babbling, Dana grabbed Fran’s golem core knife.
An iron-skin woman who is calm even if her hand is stamped on this eye-catching hammer! That’s why Dana always held a peak like this, and I used to hammer a hole in the stone.
“Excuse me~? Don’t get excited, you two, can you explain? What are you doing~?”
Rari Lura asked, twisting her head in a corner. I concentrated, and she answered.
“Reinforce this piece of paper. I make a hole in the stone and pour a potion that makes the paper stronger into it.”
“Oh, so a hole? Can’t we just lift that wall?”
“The map is torn up and down when you lift a stone because it is so closely attached to the floor with moisture. Rather, I have to be careful not to break the wall here and drill a hole. Concentrate, my junior, let’s take a break for 3 minutes?”
“—Four?! Shh, shh?”
“Shh. Sorry, shh Don’t talk to me because I’m not crazy.”
Treasure Map! Ruins! Paper! Dr. Nord!
I couldn’t even remember what I said 3 seconds ago because I was so crazy about the future. I hit the knife Dana held with moderate force.
─Kaang!
The tip of the knife was slightly dented. The weight of the fucking hammer and the size of the knife were different from the excavation equipment I knew, so it was hard to concentrate.
It’s 10 times more fucked up than the first day I changed the pillow I’ve been using for 10 years and lay in bed. I’ll turn around.
“Ah, are you fucking mad all of a sudden? Dear wife Why did you leave your pick and hammer behind while exploring the ruins? Are you trying to make your husband look bad?”
“Sorry. It’s my fault.”
“Hey there? What will happen to me if I apologize there?”
“An average Kitai guy?”
“Why can’t I die from this bitch? Ultang is about to go out.”
─Kaang! Caang!
Let’s bite Concentrate, focus.
Breaking out in a cold sweat, I put all my effort into hammering. Do you accidentally split a wall with a huge crack? The map also enters the world of the three branches according to the crack of the opening arm.
If you go to see Jegalryangdo 3 times, it will appear, but even if the map is restored after 30 days, the letters Romania will be transformed into Tolmania.
Then I went there because it was written as a treasure house, but it is actually a filth warehouse, so I can take a picture of a different world Fuse-style toilet exploration that causes a storm.
“Baba bam ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba b ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba a bab a ba ba a ba ba a ba ba a ba ba a ba ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba a ba ba a ba ba ba a ba ba ba ba ba a”
“Oh, fuck. This bastard has gone insane again.”
MacGyver OST playing in my head.
I drilled the peak feeling like an all-rounder. ─Kaang! A hole was punched through the wall with a shrieking sound.
Damn, success!
─Tuk-tuk-tuk. I hit the left and right sides of the knife with a hammer. This was because the knife could be pulled out only when the gap was widened.
“Write…”
Dana pulled a knife from the wall that fell to the floor. I put my weight wide and pressed against the wall so I couldn’t lift it.
I repeated that 4 times to make a hole in the wall to put the potion in.
“Did you see it? Did you see Are you tired? Didn’t your skills rust? Are you born?”
“Cancer. He’s so damn good at digging holes. With your hands, even I can synchronize with this hole, you bastard.”
“… Sister. I have Lalilura and Tirsi.”
“… … Sorry. Pretend you didn’t hear.”
Dana, oblivious to the time and place, so busy repelling my words, put her head down and shuddered at her shame.
“Gotta lift up the funnel, sister. Search me for real.”
─It is less and less.
It was me pouring the potion into the funnel supported by Dana with my tremor-inducing hand.
The potion leaked through the wall and came out at my feet. It’s not wrong. That’s right.
——————————————————
I poured all the potions from the 2 bottles to reinforce the map.
When the protruding part of the map was strong enough not to tear when pulled, we got up from the wall.
“Fran, Lalilula. Come and listen together If you grab the edge and lift it at the same time, it will tear.”
“Yeah? That might not be enough… Can I leave it to Lingling?”
“Uh. No. He has a huge height difference with Fran.”
“Ugh. Nor, that’s too much…”
Frank, who was struck by a mysterious blow, groaned. Sorry. Forgive me just this time. I’ll make up for it later at the inn.
“Now, do you pick up according to one or two? One or two!”
“Ugh!!”
Listening to Ralilura’s strange spirit, a wall was erected. Tyrsi opened her eyes wide.
“Oh, I’m fine! It’s a bit smudged, but it’s an almost perfect map!!”
“Be careful!! Be careful not to collapse the wall and put it down!!”
─Kooung.
It was a fucking eerie sound, but considering the weight, you could say it was lightly laid down. I look at the map built on the wall with peace of mind.
His fucking mouth opened to the limit.
“In the world or on horseback. Performance is certain.”
What was restored was a world map drawn on brown leather paper.
Indeed, there was a smudged corner, but if the researchers rolled it and restored it, it would be restored to its original form within a month! Then Dana pointed to the corner of the map with light emanating from her eyes.
“Corner! Corner over there! Look at your age! Damn, crazy! The publication date is pre-Golden Age!!”
“What?!”
I stuck my nose in the issue date under the map like a local mutt sticking his head in a dog hole.
“Hermy Sifal! It’s real!!”
It was the chronology of the Golden Age, before the ancient civilization collapsed! It means that it is a complete world map from the time of ancient civilization that was not reported to the academic world!
“Treasure Map!! Get it again!!”
– Wow! Me and Dana gave a high-five with enthusiasm.
“It’s great!! Even if you can’t restore this, it’s like a research institute unit paper! What if I go to the seminar podium after half a year as the research director?!”
“What the heck!! All you have to do is make a fucking presentation and attach a professor! Fuck my noona, do whatever you want! 29-year-old female professor!”
“The bastard dared to mention my age and sat down. But I watched it because it felt good!!”
Hehe!! Franc!! Fran, you too, come and dance!!”
“Uh? Me too? I hate it for some reason… Oh. Ah Okay! Don’t pull!!”
Hee hee!! Ehehehehehe!!”
Unable to hold back our bliss, we pulled on the francs and danced.
It was just a little better dancing than putting a peeled lizard on a fire, so Tyrsi, a fallen nobleman, and Lariru, who must have learned to dance in a circus troupe, were not together, so they kept a little distance.
“Oh no! It’s not the time to be like this! Take this off!”
Dana, who expressed her joy to the fullest, wiped away her sweat and smiled.
“Franc! Will you help me remove the map?”
“Yes… I will… I feel dizzy because I wear a ring…”
As I hugged Fran and rotated 3600 degrees, Fran headed towards the map with steps reminiscent of drunkenness. It seems that the effect of the sensory enhancement ring was not adjusted.
─Chiiiiik. Take
Remove the map, dry it well, and put it in your bag. It was almost as prudent as a job seeker bringing his company application to an interview.
“Whoa whoop whoop!! If this map is restored, we may be able to find additional undiscovered ruins!!”
Dana said with a tension that was not yet excited.
“I will report to the academic community as late as possible. No, I have to do the restoration work myself. If we excavate the ruins that only we found out, we can continue to raise our performance!”
“Chu, congratulations.”
“Chu, congratulations… ?”
Dana regained her composure a little at the reaction of the girls who couldn’t keep up with the tension.
“Uh, anyway, let’s get back to this for today. Hide the map quickly in the lab safe, and explore the lower floor again tomorrow.”
─Hmm. Dana clears her throat and returns with the expression of a dark circle girl who always looks bored. Let’s look at the twitching of the corner of her mouth as a charm.
“Aha♡! Unnie and senior are so happy that we didn’t even have time to be happy!”
Dana and I both bowed our heads at Lari Lura’s words to sort out the situation.
Hey, that’s because you don’t know How the fuck is this
I had to put up with her feeling of humiliation, like I was an otaku who listened to what it was.
But I hope you understand. We couldn’t help but mess around like that.
‘With that map, I can find the ruins of an ancient civilization!’
It doesn’t stop at simply building a track record in academia and making money! It is a map that can bring me rapidly closer to my purpose, the quest for space teleportation magic!
With a swollen heart in my heart, I accompanied the party members on the way back.
──By the way.
“… Her?”
On the second floor that was so noisy…
No sound was heard.
The dead silence stung my ears. If the noise penetrated the brain, the silence seemed to permeate the chest.
“What, what?”
Dana was also nervous, completely forgetting her excitement from just before. She goes down to the third floor. Less than 3 hours have passed. How can people fall in like this?
“… I will try to detect it.”
Frank listened as a representative. Mana from the rune of the ring radiated light, strengthening Fran’s five senses.
“… Hear.”
Frank, who pricked up his ears, spoke intermittently.
“The sound of walking… I’m eating something. My feet must be wet, and I hear a splash when I walk. However, it seems to be very large…”
Fran, who held her hands as if in prayer and listened, suddenly opened her eyes.
And I looked down at the floor.
“——Bottom?”
That was the moment.
“──Korrrrooo.”
With a low cry, a huge, crustacean-like hand burst through the floor like a ghost.
It literally moved to grab Fran’s body like a vise crushing apples!
“──Fran!!”
“──Sister!!”
The only people who were able to step out were me and Lalilura, who were concentrating on Fran’s words rather than being wary of the surroundings.
─Fuck! As I pushed her franc away and Lari Lura caught her collapsing franc and tossed it to her side.
“Fuck?!”
A hand that looked like human skin had turned into an insect’s carapace grabbed me and Lalilura’s body.
─Hwaaaaa!!!
The feeling of sinking to the bottom as the floor disappears!
Under the merciless pressure, me and Lari Lura were dragged helplessly and sucked into her unknown space.
