Magi’s Grandson

I watched the streets as if they were the ruins of the former civilization.

Collapsed buildings everywhere.

Firm ground.

This is asphalt.

There are not only tall skyscrapers, but also five- to ten-storey buildings.

Some of these buildings have collapsed, but others remain intact.

And cars dotted everywhere.

Yes, it's a car.

Covered with iron plates, wheeled and self-propelled, the brake I tried to make was not made, so I abandoned it.

It is left there.

I looked around in a daze.

The fact that there were skyscrapers meant that the neighborhood was a former office district.

I can't see anything that looks like a home.

A collapsed office town with no sign of anyone but us.

Seeing the sight, I felt like I was seeing a collapsed world of the past.

No, actually, this is a collapsed world.

When I thought about it, I felt like I couldn't stand being here.

"... kun. Shin-kun!"

Ha!

Too similar to my predecessors, but stunned by the collapsed landscape, I didn't realize that Sicily was calling me.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sicily. I was a little nervous."

"Really... is Shin-kun okay?

When I apologized for ignoring Sicily's call, Sicily looked worried.

"It's okay." What?

When I heard that, Sicily said with a worried face.

"Somehow... she looked spicy."

"Eh...."

Shortly after that, I heard a voice from a distance.

"Wow! What are you doing here?

"It's like another world."

It's true.

Alice raised her voice with pure admiration.

Lynn and Tony agree that it feels like another world.

Everyone seemed incapable of hiding their excitement in a sight they had never seen before.

There are many huge buildings that have never been seen in an underground space.

Although most of them have collapsed, the sight I see now is something I have never seen in this world.

That would be a surprise to Alice and the rest of the world.

Would Sicily be worried if she had a spicy face like that?

"I'm sorry, it's nothing. Still... is this an underground city?

Where we are is deep underground.

Was this city built into underground space?

No, it's not.

Thinking of me as an underground city, Mr. Shaolin gave me a negative word.

"Most of the ruins were buried deep underground. Therefore, it was judged impossible to remove all the soil on the ground, and gradually digging down from the top."

Shaolin says, "Look, can you see a hole in there?" pointed to the wall.

There were several holes closed with wire mesh.

"That's the first hole that was connected. They gradually dug down from there, and as they got deeper, they dug up another passage and connected it. How many branches were there on the way here?

"Oh, I see. Does that mean that passageways other than regular routes lead there?"

"That's what it is. Ah, the ceiling is magically hardened, so don't worry about collapse."

I see.

Has this ruin been completely buried in the ground over the years?

How long ago did the previous civilization flourish?

When I think about it, I feel romantic in magnificent history, and I also think about other things.

As far as this city is concerned, it can be seen that the former civilization has developed considerably.

How did it collapse?

Years have passed since this city was completely buried in the ground, and its failure to be discovered means that mankind has been unable to revive civilizations for a considerable amount of time.

Perhaps humanity has been hunted to the brink of extinction.

Why did that happen?

I think so, I'll look around the city again.

Then we found parts of the building that had been unnaturally cut off.

I saw it and was convinced.

There was a war.

I was convinced that it was true that only speculation had ever spoken of the collapse of previous civilizations.

And when I saw this destruction, I could speculate that it was made.

Weapons of mass destruction.

It has a deterrent effect.

Saying brutally, "We have such a powerful weapon, so come on in."

I suppose that's what the reincarnation of the former civilization thought.

But it's the people in this world who run it.

I guess I lost my desire to use a powerful weapon and used it.

This is the result.

If you look at something like this, you'll never be able to make the magic equipment that Mr. Shaolin is afraid of.

With that in mind, I noticed that Sicily was looking at me in silence.

"Hmm? What?

"No, I was thinking about something, so I wondered what I was thinking."

"Oh, no, I wondered why a civilization that could make such an amazing city had perished."

When I answered Sicily's question, Mr. Shaolin answered my question.

"It must be because of the war."

Even the Quanrons seem to agree with that perception.

Well, it's obvious when you look at the building that was partially taken.

"Still, I wonder how they destroyed the city."

When I said so, Mr. Shaolin spoke with a strange face.

"There's a big lake just a few days south of Elon."

"Mr. Shaolin?

The lake?

What are you suddenly talking about?

"It's that lake, but it's so big that you can't see the other side."

"Hah...."

Seriously, what are you talking about... no, I don't think so.

"And that lake, I surveyed it to make a map...."

Mr Shaolin said this after a little accumulation.

"It was almost a circle."

"Eh!?

……

Sicily is surprised, but I wasn't so surprised because I was within expectations.

"Does that mean... that the lake was made artificially!?

Sicily shouted in dismay.

It's unusual to be in such a hurry, so you must have been surprised.

"Perhaps an incredibly powerful magic or weapon was used in the war in the former civilization. A scholar in my country said," I wonder if the water accumulated in the depressions that were created at that time and turned into a lake. "

Moreover, the circle means...

From the sky...

When I said so, Mr. Shaolin opened his eyes.

"Yes, that's what the scholar said."

From the state of development of this world, it is not strange that there is a plane.

War with massive magic or weapons of mass destruction falling from the sky...

Hell.

Besides, the lake may be the only thing left in shape, but if we look at the terrain in detail, there's plenty of ground in a bowl, right?

I won't tell you.

"... well understood, Lord Shin"

Oops, I'm looking at suspicion again.

Then let's make an excuse that is common in this world.

I thought Mr. Shaolin said that.

Huh?

"The lake is round."

"Is that it?

"If you shoot a massive magic shot on the ground, you can see traces of lines or fans, not circles."

Sicily nodded convincingly to my words

Oh, that's right.

Is that it?

"Before, Shin-kun used to shoot amazing magic in our magic practice hall. At that time, there was a line towards the horizon."

Sicily says, "What are you doing? He looked at me with his eyes.

"Well, leave it. This happens when you shoot magic on the ground, and if you use such a powerful weapon on the ground, it is better to use it. It's only an attack from the sky."

After listening to my guess, Mr. Shaolin exhaled.

"That's amazing. Will you soon come to the conclusion that our scholars have been discussing for years....."

Mr. Shaolin is not surprised.

On the contrary, he is looking deeper and deeper into suspicion.

Is that it?

Did you fail?

He was anxious to see if he had failed to deal with Mr. Shaolin, and said with a serious face.

"If you listen to this story, you can see why I warned Lord Singh at the desert camp, right?

"Well, well...."

There is no trace of such a past in the Western world where our country is.

But Mr. Shaolin and the Quanrons are different.

In fact, we see signs of war that have shattered the world long ago.

You can't help but be wary of me using the same letters as the magic equipment you excavated from there.

"As I said before, I'm not going to create such a scene."

When I said so, Mr. Shaolin looked complicated.

"... you want me to believe that?

You have to believe me.

Mr. Shaolin kept his mouth shut about the words.

Maybe there's a lot of conflicting in Mr. Shaolin right now.

There is the best way to clear Mr Shaolin's grief.

But I'm hesitant to do it.

The way to do that...

"Or... do you want to kill me right now?

"Sin-kun!?

Mr. Shaolin looked at me in surprise at my words. [M]

... how did you come up with your idea?

Sicily is surprised that I suddenly said such a thing.

"I have the power to create this scene. No matter how much I say I'm not going to wave that power, Mr. Shaolin and I haven't known each other long enough to believe that word. I guess that's what I meant..."

When I said so, Mr. Shaolin leaned with his lips tight.

"I... can't do that..."

"Why?"

When I said so, Mr. Shaolin raised his face.

That face is about to cry.

"You... Lord Singh saved us... cured our sister's illness, defeated our enemy Hao and saved the Chamber of Commerce... a great benefactor."

Mr. Shaolin talks to me as I feel like crying.

... no, tears are overflowing.

"To such a great benefactor! I can't point the blade at you! But! But... I can't wipe out my anxiety..."

When Mr. Shaolin said so, he began to cover his face with both hands and cry.

"What should I do!? I don't want to doubt Lord Shin, the greatest benefactor! But... I really have to think about it!

"Mr. Shaolin...."

I guess I've been worried a lot so far.

Sicily is looking at Mr. Shaolin with a caring look as he reveals his chest with a bitter mind.

"Already... my emotions have been chaotic lately. I don't know what to do anymore."

Mr. Shaolin's face, with his hands down covering his face, appeared to have been soaked in the instant.

I don't know what to do...

I don't know that either.

I can't even say I'm going to die.

I'm not alone anymore.

I have Sicily and I have Silver.

You'll be sad when I'm gone.

I can't let my beloved man grieve.

There was silence between the three of us while no one could find an answer.

"Then Lord Shaolin will give it to Arthur Suheed."

"Uh-oh! It was amazing!!

I suddenly heard an aug from behind me, so I was really freaked out.

Turning around, Thor and Julius were with Aug.

"You can't trust Singh, can you? Then you can come to Earlsheed and monitor Singh."

"... Your Highness, will you allow me to monitor Lord Singh?

Mr. Shaolin looks at the aug with surprising eyes.

The same way I looked, Aug looked stunned.

"Hey, have you forgotten? When this is over and you get back to your country, you'll have surveillance from every country in the name of a clerk."

"Oh, that's right."

Seriously, I forgot.

Looking at me like that, Aug exhaled a deep sigh.

"Hah... that's exactly what you are... well, that's what I mean. We will continue to work as an organization in the future, but we are aware that our forces are isolated from our surroundings. There are others who share Lord Shaolin's fears."

"We're sending monitors from all over the world to relieve that anxiety."

"This is what His Highness has proposed."

Thor and Julius take over Aug's words.

"That's why. I would like you to send personnel from the Quanron as well, if possible. I've seen a lot of dragon crusades on the airship, the demonized Hao crusade, and so on in this country. Some will see us as a threat."

Aug looked straight at Mr. Shaolin.

"If Lord Shaolin takes up his post as surveillance officer, he will not be saddened."

"But that surveillance officer is not a matter for the state to decide...."

"Remember the words of our country now? I don't know when. If that's the case, you can already talk without an interpreter, and I think Lord Shaolin, who knows us well, is a good fit?

If you say so, I don't think anyone else is qualified but Mr. Shaolin.

Mr. Shaolin, who had been thinking about Aug's words for some time, looked at the aug and said.

"Then I will propose to the country and run for the post of monitor."

The aug laughed at Mr. Shaolin's words.

"Oh, I hope so."

"Then, after this sightseeing, we will go to the Yu Emperor's Palace. Thank you, Your Highness."

When Mr. Shaolin said that, he lowered his head deeply before leaving us and started talking to Mr. Refan.

Apparently, I was able to compromise Mr. Shaolin's concerns without resolving them.

"Besides, it was a good time. Honestly, I was wondering what to do."

"I just happened to pass by. Besides, Quanron will have national transportation from now on. Would you be dissatisfied if you heard about the surveillance officer from another country?

That's true, too.

One stone, two birds.

There will come a day when the Quanlon will send a surveillance team and stay close to me to relieve Mr. Shaolin's anxiety.

I knew the aug was awesome.

"Well, let's go. This city will be a reference for future urban development."

Aug said so and left the scene.

"Oh, thank you."

Thanking the aug for his back, he raised his hand and left.

"What are you wearing?"

"Fufu, it stinks, I'm sure."

Is that so?

That's right.

Well, okay.

"Well, let's take a look around the ruins."

Yes!

Mr Shaolin has gone to Mr Reefan, so I decided to look around the ruins alone with Sicily.

Let's start with that.

From the car!
