39-12 Dodora Ruins

On February 17, an investigation team from the Paleontological Party (Nostalgia) had begun investigating the ruins of Dodora on the east coast.

This is a site where you have not yet carried out a detailed investigation either. [M]

I wonder what we have here.

To the fun Elena, Donald told her to water it.

"Well, experience suggests that ruins close to the sea are no big deal."

"Oh, really?

"Mm-hmm. With the exception of mineral resources, it's hard for industry to develop."

I don't know.

Elena is skeptical.

"Anyway, let's find out and see"

ruins, called, but the point is the ruins of an old city.

I call it a 'ruin' because it weathers over the years and is no longer visible to the city, but its size is a city.

It was roughly 240 years ago that the former kingdom of Leonard perished with 'magical depleting heat'.

In those 240 years, most cities, towns and villages had returned to the earth.

"One of the reasons is building materials."

Elena, who saw the rest of the building, spoke to Donald to confirm it.

"Right."

Donald replied as he touched the walls of the remaining building.

"Stone, but pretty soft. I think the Potlock of the Kingdom of Elias used a lot of similar stones."

"Right."

Great Valley Stone, a light stone limestone called. Easy to process, insulated, fire resistant reverse, brittle, easy to weather.

I guess there are other factors, but for this reason, Elena and the others decided that there would be few safe buildings.

"Last time Dia was awesome."

Elena shrugged as she went further into the investigation. Dia is the old capital, so its size is not comparable to that here in Dodora.

"I guess it's because I get sea breezes and lots of rain"

Donald shrugged back too.

Otanishi is susceptible to water, so much rain seems to cause degradation as well.

Most buildings collapse to such an extent that they do not retain their original form, and are covered in shrubs and sticky grass.

In the meantime, there were several buildings that almost retained the prototype.

"This is a different building material..."

Donald made sure by touching stones of distinct hardness.

"Maybe it was built in a different time."

Elena also made a guess.

"Then there may be something to be gained."

Elena took the initiative and stepped into the building.

By the way, has it decayed? There is no such thing as a door, and windows are just holes.

In other words, garbage, dust, and all sorts of other things were all you could blow in, and the grass was even starting to grow gray shrubs.

"Looks like it's been here as long as it's been."

"Right."

"But the building isn't weathered. Why not? Because it's made of different building materials. What's that for?

"I guess it was built for some special purpose"

Elena and Donald approached the truth, having a conversation that felt light.

"In position, was it the mansion of the lord or his equivalent?

"That's a good chance."

"Then you can have something left..."

"Right. Maybe there's a hidden room or a basement."

Donald also agreed with Elena and decided to explore whether there was a basement first.

"Underground Exploration (Grand Search)"

Elena used Underground Exploration (Grand Search) on top of Earthly Attribute Magic Primary. It is magical to look for underground minerals, etc., but we can also know if there are cavities.

After several exercises.

"There's a cavity down here."

Elena was brilliant, she discovered the basement.

However, the entrance and exit are unknown.

There's a chance he turned it into a secret room.

"That's right."

Jen tells me that the former kingdom of Leonard was exterminated by 'magical fever', so he realizes that maybe this basement could have been built to escape the plague.

"If only humans of the time had been evacuated inside..."

Donald shivered.

Meanwhile, in Penglai, Lao-jun learned about this discovery and rushed to confirm it with the Peep Peek Telescope (Peeper).

Because if something harmful was sealed inside, it would be dangerous.

But.

"Is it just a repository... can I leave this to the archaic party (Nostalgia)"

There was nothing to be afraid of, old man, and you decided to leave it to the flow.

"Either way, I think we need to look into it."

Elena said in a resolute voice.

"Right... right"

"But please, Donalds, stay away from me for a little while. I'm the only one who can find out."

"But Elena..."

"It's okay. In the first place, in the basement 240 years ago, what kind of danger do you think there is?

To reassure Donald, Elena dared to ignore events at Botsfa ruins and such.

"Okay. Be careful."

"Yeah. If there's no danger, I'll call you right away."

Thus, Elena began to make holes in the floor, one person. I mean, we're gonna pull out the basement ceiling.

Use soil attribute magic 'digging (digging)' instead of engineering magic.

Stone material is also easily processed by earthly attribute magic, so this is now an ant. Instead, Elena can barely use engineering magic.

In about fifteen minutes, there was finally enough hole for one person to get through. The floor = the ceiling in the basement was about a meter thick, so it took time.

"That's enough now, isn't it? We need to do some recon first."

Elena let herself dance into the hole without hesitation.

Elena stepped down to the floor, falling roughly five meters.

"This place..."

There was nothing there. It was empty. Actually, it's the front room to the library.

Elena called Donald because there seemed to be no danger.

"What's up, Elena?

Donald has literally rushed. The escorts are with us.

"Oh, you have a hole, Elena, are you in there?

"Yeah, there's nothing where I am right now. But I have another room ahead of me. I don't feel any particular magic, so I don't think it's dangerous."

Donald rejoices when he hears that.

"So I can go, too, huh?

"Yeah, come on."

"Okay."

So Donald commanded the escort to let the rope drip in the hole.

"Then I'll go, but I'll ask for a lookout. If we don't come back for too long, judge for yourself."

So Donald disappeared into the hole.
