25-04 What I Found

After "Conlon 2" took off, Elsa, who remained in Capricorn 1, also returned to Penglai at the transfer gate (Warp Gate).

Until Land 3 is sent in to be replaced and Jen Double returns, Capricorn 1 will be managed on this occasion.

At the speed of 'Conlon 2', it flew all the way to the destination, the El Rado mine, and arrived in roughly two hours.

The low concentration of free magic hormone (ether) could be solved by asking Verials to drink "Made in Penglai" Persica juice.

Looks like half a day will be fine with a glass of juice. It's a free magic hormone (ether) that I usually take in from my breath, but I knew in the example 700672 that it could also be taken orally.

"That was fast, how fast was it coming out?

It was' Jen Double 'who replied to a question from Berials with about 150 km/h.

Together, they say, "About twice to three times as many horses as all horses walk. Oh, speaking of which, was Grand Dragon's disease about the same? 'I shall also add.

I try to observe the surrounding terrain from above, with Verials on my ass, who loses words in that answer.

Under the eyes, there are mountains that would exceed 2,000 meters. This would be Mount Ellado.

Mount Ellado has an elongated mountain body to the east and west. At its eastern foothills was the El Rado mine, and at the southwestern foothills was the ruins of El Rado.

"Perhaps the ruins of El Rado are the key to the entrance."

"Right."

Jen Double and Reiko discussed it and decided to land by the ruins of Ellado.

Most importantly, the El Rado mine side has some, albeit slight, reasons for people coming and going.

As we descend Conlon 2 into the shadows of the rocks, Jen Double, Reiko and Berials try to jump off and disembark, all three carrying small baggage. It contains food and emergency equipment.

Conlon 2 then rises quickly. We're supposed to be standing by at an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters.

"Well, let's go"

I was checking from above, so I knew the way to the ruins of El Rado. The line headed early.

"Is this the ruins of El Rado..."

I knew roughly from the reports of the fifth row (Quinta), but even though it was over the magic projection window (Magic Screen), it was powerful to see it nearby.

If there is something close in the architectural style of the earth, would it be Byzantine architecture?

The building with its domed roof and the towers surrounding it stood out.

Not exactly the same, of course, and there are many differences. The scale is much smaller here, and the materials used were used everywhere, not just stone, but metal.

"The style is a little bit like ours."

Belials, who was observing, said blush.

"According to the information collected, it was already here about 500 years ago. That doesn't weather the exterior."

Jen Double gently touches the exterior wall surface.

(… is "toughening (toughening)" still hanging? that too, is quite powerful)

"Toughening" is an engineering magic that makes brittle matter less likely to crack. It was a suitable treatment to protect against weathering.

"Lord Jin, let's go inside."

Berials rushed in and said. He wants to get a clue to his sister as soon as possible.

"All right, let's go"

Jen Double took the headlamp out of his luggage. This is a flashlight that attaches to my head... although it is a magic guide lamp, not a light.

"This is good, I like my hands free"

Due to its properties, it will be illuminated more face-to-face.

Jen Double and Reiko are fine even if they don't have any light because they can even feel infrared, but they can still see clearly with a light source.

Well, for Jen watching on this side of the magic projection window (magic screen), the lights were a must.

The line slowly stepped into the ruins.

"You smell a little like mold."

Berials held his nose and mouth. Jen Double and Reiko do not breathe, so there is no problem.

"Berials, use this"

Jen Double took out the simple odorproof mask he made for times like this. It has a filter with fine, thin felt eyes and pinched charcoal powder, so you can expect some effect.

No need except for Verials, but also wear Jen Double as a pose.

"This is pretty effective,"

Berials was impressed with his cuddly voice.

"The destination is underground. Find stairs and hidden passages."

Jen Double said the policy while observing calmly.

"Okay."

The three slowly observed their surroundings as they walked carefully. Reiko will also check the composition of the atmosphere. Because Berials is biological.

"There can't be those stairs where you can normally go in and out. It must be cleverly hidden."

Jen Double spoke as if to confirm with Reiko.

"I think so"

Since this area of the ruins is also a place where ordinary people enter, it may be said that there is nothing dangerous or dizzying.

I searched around for about an hour, but couldn't find anything.

"Don't change your hands at last."

You will try magic. However, as a result, it is unknown what will be caused, so I decide to go outside once and try using it from the outside.

If nothing happens, we investigate it as it moves inside in sequence.

"'Acoustic Exploration (Sonar)'"

… but there seems to be no cavity anywhere.

"Let's go a little further."

So I try to use Acoustic Exploration (Sonar), but I couldn't feel the presence of a cavity.

Dozens of repetitions of this. There appears to be no cavity inside the ruins.

"Hmmm......"

A line that got me stuck.

The sun is tilting, about to set soon.

That's it for today.

Jen thought in front of the Magic Screen that he might have to change the way he approached it.

"... right..."

Berials also answered with a tired face. I know you want to be looking for more, but you still can't hide your fatigue.

Call 'Conlon 2' and get in. Inside, there's plenty of living space for three people to sleep in.

Nevertheless, there is no need for Reiko to go to bed, as well as Jen Double. It's just that Jen, the pilot, needs to sleep.

"Master (My Lord), I will take your place in the meantime, so rest."

Instead of maneuvering for you, Jen also decided to rest.

We continued our search the next day, but it was fruitless.

After noon, Jen uttered a fuzzy thought.

"Maybe there's an entrance for the mine, not the ruins?

"Hmm, that's possible"

So that afternoon I decided to look into the El Rado mine.

The basics is to try to get to the back of all the pits.

There were only about three mountain masters on this day, and the rest were quiet, so they managed to examine all the pits by sunset.

But the result was' No Results'.

"Hmm, shit."

I was wondering if I could find something more.

That's when.

"There seems to be something over here."

Reiko, who was investigating the pit on the southernmost side, raised her voice.

"Is that true? Let's find out more." Underground Exploration (Grand Search) "... What's this?

It's like there's a magical 'echo'.

"Hmm, but this looks like something natural..."

As Reiko dug directly into the rock with that hand, the discomfort became apparent.

"Well, this feeling..."

"Ah."

At the time Jen finished analyzing and judging the information from Jen Double, Reiko dug a certain ore.

"I knew it."

It was a huge 'mittianite' = Elladolite.

A chunk shaped like a cocoon and as much as 50 cm handed over.

"Wow..."

It is natural that Elladolite can be picked because it is an Ellado mine, but such a huge one would be scarce.

If you take it out as it is, the managers monitoring the pits will force you to buy it up.

Even if you try to hide it, it's not something you can hide because they have exploratory magic that takes advantage of the properties of Elladolite.

"All right, let's forward"

Fortunately, Berials is looking into another pit, so he won't be caught.

Jen, who was in Penglai Island, rushes to build a transfer gun that adjusts the destination. It's a pretty roundabout way for Lao to bring it to Reiko on the forwarder and Reiko to transfer Elladolite to Penglai.

"But once you make it, the rest will be easy."

The rest is easy, which means transfer guns. Instead of, of course, transferring it directly to Penglai, take the steps of transferring it from there to Penglai again. This is also for safety.

On this day the greatest harvest was' Elladolite '….

I still can't find a clue to Arshel.
