Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)

"Dear Lord, is that fossil near the excavation site?

A little while after the Theodrum soldiers reached the second tier - the cavity that serves as the excavation base - they interrogated Crowe about the way Winn was interested.

'No... but a little further down... the place should have been away too.... Was it, Kerr?

'Yes, not so deep, but the horizontal distance is there'

"What's wrong with that? Win '

'Er... there's a pit through there, isn't there?

'It's closed now... is that it?

"No, I was wondering what would happen if I showed the soldiers fossils."

It was an unconsciously ill-willed idea, and there was something that greatly touched Crowe's harp line.

'That sounds interesting. Let's arrange it quickly.'

It was a crow that adopted Wynn's suggestion without one or two, but now things moved ahead with the arrow tip that was thinking about how to guide the soldiers.

"Oh?... what?

"... Whoa! This..."

"Hurry up and contact the squad leader!

"Oh, no? They dug themselves into the fossil layer."

"Master, that's not the same place the Golems found it, is it?

'That's not true. The fossil layer seems to be spreading more than I thought...'

When we checked for coal, we searched for clues as to whether there were any signs of heat or pressure being applied to the sediment layer, so we didn't know until the fossil layer spread.

So this kind of overlook also arose.

"... Wow!? What the fuck!?"

"Calm down! It's just a bone!

"So... but Lord Commander... what the hell is that bone?

"The first one... it's a monster..."

"Is that... a corner...?

Theodrum soldiers whose hips are completely drawn forward of bones excavated from the fossil layer. The squires are intrigued by the peek at it.

"Master! That, what is it!?

"Come on, no bones."

"It's a bone I've never seen before."

"Master Crowe, what bone is that?

'Maybe... you're one of the elephants. I don't even know if it's a mammoth or a Naumann elephant or a different kind.'

"Elephant... is it...?

"Oh, that skull would definitely do it first."

One large hole exists in the front of the elephant's skull, including the Naumann elephant and the mammoth. If you are a human, it is misunderstood as a monster with a giant eye because it hits where the eye exists... in fact this can be a nostril. The elephant's eye is obviously smaller than the nose if you look at the picture, but it is also located on the side, so if a person who doesn't know the elephant only looks at the skull, it was not necessary to mismatch the nostrils with the ocular (cancer) fossa. So much so that some theories, such as the Greek mythical cyclops (Cuclops), actually imagined this skull as a model. Seeing the reaction of the Theodoram soldiers in front of you, it seems like a very likely story.

By the way, in this skull, the characteristic long fangs - the so-called elephant fangs - seem to have been misidentified as horns, not fangs, for whatever reason.

"What the hell! What happened!?

"Ah, platoon commander!

Corporal explains why he flew to his superior officer after an emergency report. The superior officer is listening to an explanation as he takes an alternate view of the corporal's face and the exhumed skull. Eventually, the platoon captain leaves the soldiers there to visit the upper management as this is in his own hands.

It was the day after that that the decision to secure the skeleton and close the pit was brought to the soldiers.
