I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 198 ~ If there is a hole, I want to enter the homework of people ~
After all, this battle settled down to a draw. Dr. Wile was supposed to make an award, so I made an award instead. I am an outsider and aristocrat, so there is no problem as an agent.
Count Rockman looked a little dissatisfied, but said nothing. You know I belong to the Vicomte, but Dr Wile is also a relative of Vicomte Rockman. As soon as Boomerang did not commit the foolishness of stabbing him to make the situation worse, Count Rockman was calculating well. It is also said to be difficult.
Everything is settled and the status quo is maintained. The rights of the river are basically held by the new Viscount Weissman, but it was decided not to charge royalties for the time being.
This result won't hurt anyone... War money is everyone's burden. The expense on the part of Vladimir Rockman, who was getting ready with a large number of people, would be quite a sum. The poor countess on the border must have been quite hurt.
On the other hand, the Countess has a small number of people and a large budget. As long as there is no significant loss, it may be said that the judgment of the new Viscount Weissman wins.
I'm relieved by this result, as I might have been in trouble if I hadn't won or pulled off the count. Because there was a possibility that this would affect the development of the streets that are currently underway.
The road linking the towns of Dorton and Dantes is a huge 400 km long project, but most of the land is state-owned without a lord. So, as long as we get permission from the state, we can proceed with the construction without any problems. Since the land on which the lord resides belongs to the new Viscount Weissman, who is also a party, there is nothing wrong with proceeding with the construction. You can cut through the woods and cross the river as you like.
However, if the rights of the river were taken away by Count Rockman, "Change the route because the change in river flow may affect the territory" or "Compensate for the expected crop impact due to the change in water volume", there was a possibility that a very troublesome adjustment would be required. It is a story that has often been heard in previous life that every time a complaint is made and every time the work is interrupted.
Of course, I intend to proceed with the construction with care so as not to affect downstream as much as possible, but I don't always get the perfect job. Unforeseen things happen all the time. I'd really appreciate it if you could find a deadly bug by the deadline, but it's a pretty common story.
In that case, it would be easier to make adjustments and fixes if there were fewer people involved. If it's the status quo, it's just me and the Vicomte. The sooner the decision is made, the faster everything goes. I don't want to have as many people as I can.
In that sense, the results came together in the closest way possible for me. Happy birthday.
As the soldiers on both sides prepare to return, me and my people will proceed to investigate the Great Hole. It's not unusual for the ground to collapse and the undead to spring. I can't do it without looking into it.
The depth of the hole is not that great. Could it be at most a hundred meters? And at the bottom of that hole....
"Do you see anything?
"Is that a ruin? You don't look familiar. It's like a frog egg."
"... it looks bad."
Oh, ufufufu.
Christella, who is not good at heights, is holding me blindfolded as usual. It's still a hot season, so I can't beat it.
At the bottom of the hole was a collection of hemispherical buildings that looked like bowls lying down. The fact that another hemisphere fills the space between the hemisphere and the hemisphere certainly reminds us of some kind of egg or mass of foam. Because the color is red, I look more like a squid than a frog egg. I want to eat hot rice topped with plenty. You can also enjoy a bowl of seafood topped with salmon sashimi. Oh, my God! Speaking of which, there was no soy sauce, what a surprise! No, because it has miso, I might get soy sauce. I'll ask you later.
Some are half-destructed by collapsed dirt and sand, but a significant number seem to retain their shape. If it were a ruin, it would be a very valuable cultural property. Scholars seem happy.
I asked Dr. McGaffin for confirmation.
Post-Magorical Residence. Built with magic. Although the color of the exterior wall varies depending on the geology of the land, the common feature of the style is that the shape is domed.
That seems to be it. I thought it was kind of like a shelter or a research facility because it was a dome, but it seemed like it was a normal residence. I don't know what you think made you look like that. Was it a town that liked frogs? Or was it in the middle of a bubble? It is foamy.
The Magic Nation was a great nation that thrived on this continent before the present Kingdom of West Midland was founded. He ruled the entire continent with a superior magical civilization, but was destroyed by God about 2,000 years ago, despite taboos. They don't have a detailed record, but I guess that god is "God of Weather and Justice."
Remnants of the Magic Nation era are still found everywhere, and the magic equipment excavated from them seems to be of higher quality and valued than it is today. It's amazing that the tools over 2,000 years ago are still working.
"It seems to be a relic of the Magical Nation era. It looks like the undead is gone, so why don't we go down and explore?"
"According to the balance magic, there is no toxic substance in the hole."
"Hello, ancient ruins! Don't smell the treasure!
"Oh, I hope it doesn't smell like undead rotten meat. Ufufu"
Whatever it is, it is definitely an ancient ruin. Then you'll have to explore! Suddenly, it's starting to feel like an adventure! I knew the fantasy wouldn't be like this!
◇
Riding on a planar magic board, everyone descends to the bottom of the hole and onto a semi-destructed building.
I was able to see the collapsed building wall up close, but it wasn't thicker than I expected. It is only about 5cm and the core material has not passed through. Was the dome shaped because the pressure was dispersed and sturdy, or was it magically enhanced? What a strange architectural method.
The ruins of the basement were not so wide. It's a circle about 500 meters in diameter, and we came down just in the middle of it.
Yeah?
"What's wrong with you? Dear Beat,"
"No, I thought it was the only place buried in the dirt."
"What's the matter? The ground is sinking up, so it's only natural?
"That's right, but that means that it wasn't buried in the soil until the ground fell up there, right?
"Ah! I see! This means that the ruins weren't buried on the ground, they were probably built under the ground from the beginning!?"
"Yeah, I thought that might be the most convincing."
Oh, I see.
"... the Underworld?
"Oh, my God, the laundry won't dry under the ground like this."
No, I think he's a wizard, and the laundry was magic. I don't know. Well, if you're an underground man, it's an ant because it's romantic. It looks like an attraction in a rat amusement park. Unfortunately, rather than ancient nature and dinosaurs, no rat was alive. Looks like everybody was undead.
But, well, why did you build a town in the basement? You think we had to go down to the basement because we were at the limit of the elevation? It's a low-rise domed house.
Mmm, I don't know! I'm sure there was such a movement. That's what I'll do. Leave the difficult task to the scholar.
"Speaking of which, is there a laboratory in my country? Discover ancient ruins like this."
"There is a Royal Academic Magic Institute in King's Landing. There are a number of laboratories in the hospital, but is it the Magic Developments and History Laboratory that will likely excavate the ruins? Sometimes the monuments of the Magical Nation can be useful."
That's Christella, the answer will echo when you hit her. It's too bad I haven't taken my blindfold off yet. Pick it up quickly.
There is no problem if there is a research institute. We'll collect the artifact first and sell it high later. I may have unexpectedly been able to work on a good money plan.
Hurry up and search for a house in a building with a broken ceiling. Since there is no light in the house, I will illuminate the whole house with a flat magic parallel light.
Hmm, is this the bedroom? The house itself is about 300 square meters in size, but the interior seems to have been divided into several rooms. The wall part of the partition has collapsed and the two rooms are in succession. The neighborhood looks like a living room.
There are two white cubes lined up in front of you. In any case, it looks solid in stone, but the size of the cube is just like a single bed, so it really looks like a bedroom. There is no cracking, but there is a yellow taste after aging. Well, maybe that's what it was originally designed for.
... it's not a coffin, is it? Vampires come out of the undead connection... yeah, it's okay. There's no sign of the monster anywhere. It's my life that doesn't stand up because I'm about to flag it.
Now, there's an unidentified object in front of you, and in that case, it's Dr. McGaffin's turn to trust you. Doctor, please!
The bedside of the Magical Nation era. Sleep with your body floating in space with magic. There is no load on gravity, so there is little burden on the body.
I knew it was a bed. And ultra-high tech (?) It's an air bed. Wow, I definitely want it! Oh, but maybe I can't hang a blanket? I think I need a sleeping bag in the winter.
"It's like a sleeping platform from the Magical Nation era, but it's out of power. Let's take it home and check it out."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Kikka's crush came into her ear as she was floating her bed with a flat paste on it. Yeah, no problem. The only other magic items left that looked like cultural property were roots. I'm an adventurer!
I didn't see anything at first sight in a room that looked like a living room. Modern Japan seems to have as much TV as it does, but did it not exist in a magical country? No, there's no radio underground.
I may have exchanged information magically, but the magic elements hardly move underground. It's pretty hard to tell where I'm going underground.
Probably because of the high density of magic deposits carried by rain and groundwater. In fact, there are hundreds of times more magins in the atmosphere underground. Because of that, the magic elements hit each other and their movement was restricted.
... oh, is that why this town was built underground? I didn't want to leak magic elements outside, so I built a town in the basement... there was a reason I had to shut it down... a magical country that was destroyed by taboos... and now the ceiling is collapsing and connected to the outside... so maybe not here!?
"Explore early! Christella, find something magical and valuable to bring!
"Oh, I see! Please wait a moment!
"Why, all of a sudden! What happened?
"I don't know, but, as you can imagine, it might be bad to stay here long. That's right, Daisy. Can't you see what" preview "means?
"... wait, focus.... I see it! Young man, let's go! This place will be gone by tomorrow!
"Oh, that's tough."
I knew it! Daisy's "Prefetch" is highly accurate. Probably will be. At all, I don't really want you to hit me, so I guess that's a good guess. Stop flagging my life on an unexpected diagonal.
I hurried to gather things that looked like magic equipment that I didn't know how to use. I checked with Dr. McGaffin to make sure it was okay, and then I escaped the ruins.
In the meantime, everything inside is recorded by camera, so it can be summarized in the materials later. Let the scholar bear with it.
◇
Later that night, when we escaped, the ruins disappeared forever with the roar.
A huge island floated above the site, which consisted of only huge holes.
