Ashes and Kingdoms

Nevertheless, it was not in reality affordable and the reconstruction of Nanais did not carry it so well.

When they sat down for three days, the Dark Families realized the existence of man.

Finn soon fell out of his hard work, talking about how much Lena's help was impossible, such as wasting time with debris hauling during the day and withstanding the attack at night.

While he slept half the day, Plast found a house with solid foundations and began to build a temporary residence on it. There were plenty of waste materials and stones, so reusable materials were also collected quickly, but I don't have enough hands at all.

When I arrived in Nanais about ten days later, although Taz's employer turned me around loaded with various supplies as promised, that's why I hadn't come up with a search for a burial item that seemed to be available for payment.

"What, are you still such a zama? I don't have a choice."

The adventurous and lucrative captain tongued and gave the crew a decree. Turn the rubble upside down without one left, and fish for the golden-eyed ones, he said. Thanks to this, the work progressed dramatically, but most of the treasures found were loaded onto the ship in exchange for food, etc.

"If there was a Valt here, it would have been flashy."

Plast said blur and Finn nodded bitterly, too. Even to him, there is no dissatisfaction. No matter how many owners have died, everything here belongs to Nanais. It was hard to be robbed of that as just, like, money. When, among other things, the orphanage debris was brutally removed, so much so that neither Taz nor Finn could see it, temporarily leaving the scene.

In fact, jewellery and the like are of no use even if they are in our possession today. That's why he sees his feet, and he doesn't hesitate to take that and this away, which hurts his self-esteem badly.

The captain turned a blind eye to Finn and the others present at the exhumation inspection with a complicated face.

"If you have something in you, take it. But I'll take the rest. Still got something for you, anyway? I'll sell this in my own country and buy you anything. I'm a good man."

Of course, I'll take the fee, but let's pretend it's over. Finn was uncomfortable but nodded indulgently. Man like a chunk of intent, but so, because I can see one definite muscle going through. Strong core, not to be swayed for good intentions or sympathy. That's why I can believe that I would never do an unfair imitation in commerce.

Inspired that Taz was well tolerated, Finn handed him a list of things he wanted delivered.

The captain read it at first reading slightly, and this would bring it all together, he contracted. Then he wiped out his grin by eyeing the sloppy line of loot.

"Most of the Nanais missed out on this stuff."

Pointed out abruptly harsh facts, both Finn and Plast, were stuck in words.

Indeed, it showed that all things could not afford to evacuate. The property hidden under the floors of the house, etc. remained almost intact, as well as household goods and food that had been collected in the barracks, without any signs of being taken out, just rotting out there.

No bodies have yet been found under the rubble, but some of the bones, etc. continue to emerge from corners of the street and bushes, thinking they were outdoors and taken away by the beast.

To the two of them who shut up, the captain said in a serious way.

"Before I anchored myself offshore here, I found myself a little concerned. Down there."

That's what he pointed to was the Cape where the Temple of Audia once was.

"There's a little cave and a beach at the cliff wave. Just around the corner, I think we can launch something that fell into the ocean... but I don't care what you think, it's not one or two of us."

"... Huh!

"I'll lend you the boat and the men, so don't collect and mourn him. Don't worry, I won't pay for that. We don't want to get pulled over there either."

Saying something like a sailor, he flaunted his successful shoulder. Finn thanked him with a dark face and went to tell Oandus it was up to him. Consider that this task should be done by the Nanaith.

Collecting the remains and artifacts took three full days. Not as big as a cave, the sinuses are filled tightly with adhesive, and no matter how many rounds you pile up to the limit on a small boat, they are launched again the next day as well. Instead of one or two, there were dozens of skulls alone, and it was thought that the actual dead would surpass hundreds.

Someone set fire to breaking through the walls, desperately trying to retreat from the darkness, hunted down to the temple, and finally from the Cape...

The sight seemed visible. There is no longer the art of knowing what happened in reality. Maybe a lot of people died in human strife, or maybe desperate people threw themselves. Only the result is the same, that not a single speaker remained.

Since most of the artifacts were submerged in sea water and scrubbed by waves and rocks, the captain did not tell them to come either. There were some precious metals that were likely to be sold if polished and reworked, but when I thought about the hassle of peeling them off from rotten cloth and leather and removing seaweed and dirt, it didn't suit me. Besides the dead, what are they doing?

Most of those metals belonged to legion soldiers. Fittings for swords and sheaths, clasps for leather armor, and shoe soles.

"I guess you fought to the end"

Taz, who was working with me, looked at the mountains and loaded artifacts and snapped. Whatever their opponents were, they didn't, until the end, abandon the city and run away. I guess I fought anyway, even if I just couldn't.

Finn nodded silently. I don't think that Captain Musdo is going to get screwed easily, and I recall once saying a daring word of optimism in Comlis. I was going to realize I was resting, but when I was able to poke the evidence in front of me in this way, I still had to understand that I was sweet.

Maybe, and.

He may be alive, he may have fled somewhere. In a corner of my mind, I believed that slightly. Masud, the director of the orphanage, the children, the priest Fianella... the soldier who gave Finn the swordsmanship tricks, and Nellis' childhood tame girl.

But reality did not condone it. In the north, a large number of facial acquaintances died while they were under such illusions that they acted with emperors and generals in their own country, were noticed by councillors and did something big - or could do it from now on.

In severe silence, they completed their burial. By then, many bodies had also been found from under the rubble, but most of them could not be made individual graves because they were unidentified, and after putting them together in one place, they brought affordable stone and made it a tombstone. There was no room or tool to elaborate on the inscriptions and decorations, so very briefly, just carve "The Coming and Moon of Darkness 1086 Citizen of Nanais".

It was a hard task, but burial does serve as a separation for the living. Thereafter, Finn and the others immersed themselves in rebuilding without sinking into grief.

As always, at night, the Dark Beast attacked, but its momentum gradually weakened. It's something Finn never fights back, and he probably ate a shoulder watermark.

Eventually, when the bungalow of temporary residence was completed and a few more days had passed -

"Brother! Come on, come on! It's important!"

Pulled from the morning by an excited Nellis, Finn left the house one after another as he bit down the stretch. Climb the path where the debris has been removed and can be walked to the temple ruins of Cape Verde.

Originally the temple's herbal garden was roughly immune from damage during the collapse, so Nellis was building a small field there.

on acres dug up with black soil,

"Here, look!

The green twin leaves were stretched completely with shimmering morning dew on them. Finn gave a grumpy, slight and deep exhale.

"... oh"

Words don't come out, that's all I say and crouch. Many, many, I couldn't wait to love the green spreading small leaves toward the sun as I contended ahead.

Explain with your hands wide open as Nellis comes and goes dancing between the acres.

"I planted beans here. The wheat and melon you sowed over there, it's sprouting!

"You did it, Nellis."

"Next time Taz comes, he'll bring more seeds. You'll be the first to eat green beans in the summer. I guess melons are faster. Fun!"

I thought the orchard trees were completely destroyed, and there was a hiccup coming out of the remaining strain of burning, I don't know what kind of seeds were in the underfloor warehouse, but there were some that looked like herbs, and then...

Finn was smiling and hammering at the chatter that went on.

When the crop harvest is possible, we can call people here. The beast of darkness, too, at this rate, would keep it far away from the point where a man could live. It will still take a long time to put it back when you didn't have to fight just to look around at night......

"Finally, it feels like you can see ahead"

Finn stood up and stretched out. Nellis also smiles and nods loudly. They walked from either side to the edge of the field and looked down at Nanais. The city didn't look abandoned anymore.
