78-27 What I've seen from my research

The "Shinobi clan" was transferred to the hall.It's about the size of a gymnasium in elementary school.It is made of polished stone.

but the overall impression is dirty.

Because "ether luminescent (AL)" is used, it is not dark, but its light intensity is somehow not relied on.

It was found to be quite old.

In addition, it seems that no maintenance has been carried out.

Is this your destination?

At least part of it.

I try to clear my ears, but I can't hear anything.

It doesn't make any sound when the device is running, or when it stands up like a golem.

Is this facility still alive?

'Shinobi Ginseng' said.

I don't know. Just like before, I've been searching the hall with a two-man cell.

Yes, sir.

It was a "Shinobi unit" that started the investigation separately, but immediately came to the conclusion that there was nothing in the hall.

< ……………………………………… >

It must be across that aisle.

In the direction pointed out by "Shinobi Wu", there was an opening that looked like the only entrance to this hall.

The aisle ahead is dark... but it's pretty dark.If we don't turn on Night Vision, we won't be able to check for safety.

Let's be careful.

Yes, sir.

While paying attention to the front, back, left, right, and up and down, ten bodies continue to the back of the aisle.

The passage is about three meters wide and the height is the same.The material is the same stone as the hole.

The hallway ended about 30 meters, followed by a small room.

Good luck in the room. It's just...

This is....

There's a transfer magic formation on the floor.

This... is still alive.

Shinobi Lacquer, which investigated the transfer magic team, reported.

I mean, there could be someone in and out of this room.

That's how it will be. There is no dust on the floor.I wonder if they're doing regular cleaning.

Something appeared in the small room in support of the words.

It was thought that the function of the sensor would not be significant as the Shinobi unit disappearing due to "invisibility" paid no attention.

What's that?

Looks like a cleaning golem.

The shape of the body is a flat cylinder.Six legs grow like insects, and they move around dexterity.

The lower part of the cylinder has an inlet through which dust appears to be drawn.

I don't know what you're talking about.

It's not in the Original form we know of.

That's why I can't say it's not from the Origin.

In that sense, this "six-legged cleaning golem" is also an important key to grasping the identity of the person who built or maintained this facility.

For a while, the "Shinobi unit" was thoroughly observed.

And about ten minutes later, it seemed that the cleaning was finished, and the "Six-legged Cleaning Golem" left the small room.

I don't suppose it's because I don't want to wear out the magic team engraved on the floor.

He was careful not to rub his feet on the floor.

The material of the soles of the feet also seemed to be soft, and there was no footsteps.

Observations can be made such as.They are all sent to you. [M]

Let's go to the passage where that "cleaning golem" came out.

There were only openings in the corridors where they came from.

The passage is also about three meters wide and the height is the same.The material was the same stone.

But now I arrived at the next small room about 10 meters away.

There's no Cleaning Golem.

The cleaning of this room has already been completed, and they may have headed to another room, or they may have been on standby.

So, let's investigate this room.

There was one big difference in this room compared to the previous one.

Multiple magic tools and magic machines (Magi machines) were placed.

[... this is not the technology of the Original.]

I agree.

Probably....

[... it must belong to the old country, the Dinar Kingdom]

I'm sure you're right.

The old man gave me his opinion. [M]

My guess is that this facility was stopped for a long time after the free magic (ether) concentration in space dropped due to the "Magic Rush" (Ether Stampede) at the end of the Magic War.It appears to have been restarted due to the recovery of the free magic (ether) concentration.I will refrain from making any further assumptions, as there is still little information.Keep investigating.

Roger that.

The more we looked into it, it became clear that the facility was made with the technology of the "Old Dinar Kingdom".

The "Northern Nation", which was called the "Demon Nation" at the time, naturally attacked from the north down south, right?

I don't think so.

If so, why did you build a facility like this, called the "South End"?

I don't know what people were thinking back then...

But you were making an inference about it.

If we don't investigate a little more, we won't be able to prove it....

while preceded by

"... this was probably the 'last fort', to put it bluntly."

and speculation.

"It is the farthest place from the front, and there is a fast current between the land and the island.And the fact that we can only move through metastases is probably to reduce the risk. "

I see.

However, you still have the impression that it is incomplete.Keep investigating.

Roger that.

Once again, the Shinobi Squad began its investigation.

Hmm, there is no doubt that there is any physical evidence of the "Old Dinar Kingdom".

Ninety-nine percent, I'm sure.

Well, it doesn't say "The Former Dinar Kingdom."

No, there it is.

Huh?

It's a book with the emblem of the Old Dinar Kingdom.

This is....

The book was a black leather cover with golden lettering, and it certainly depicted the emblem of the "Old Dinar Kingdom".
