Lancelot.

"Mmm."

It was that S-Rank Adventurer Lancelot that was falling in the middle of the desert.

Apparently, I couldn't stand the harsh environment of the desert, and I may have exhausted myself.

No, he's still alive.

If we keep the ice ship close and make sure it's not dead, apparently.

You noticed this sign, and I've been reaching out with my hands stuck in the sand.

"Are you kidding?"

That's what Alc called it.

Meanwhile, Iris pointed in a different direction,

"Over there."

If you look closely, several of them had also fallen behind Lancelot.

Apparently they were trying to cross the desert in a group.

The Lions decided to split up and retrieve them and gather them in one place.

"Now you're all. It doesn't look like he's dead."

Still terrible dehydration and fatigue and would definitely die if left alone.

"What are we going to do?

"I'll make you recover for now"

"Then I'll take care of it. Area heel!"

Sylvia uses magic and heals them.

"For once, I'll give you about water and food. We'll figure it out ourselves."

"If you don't stay like this, the demons may attack you."

"Well, let's keep it this way"

I decided to build an ice house with the service and put it to sleep in it.

You'll wake up by the time the ice melts through with heat.

That's how when I got on the ice ship again, I ran out of the desert again.

"Mm, I see it. Oasis."

Only in this harsh desert was the city of Oasis, Barr, where travellers could rest their bodies, reached by a line of lions.

Palm trees and other greenery grow and flourish as square houses made of bricks line up.

In the heart of the city there was a lake, which became a valuable source of water for the people living in this city.

Far back in ancient times, this area seems to have flourished greatly, and the majority of the inhabitants living in the land today are said to be their descendants.

The remnants of that ancient civilization or the giant ruins of the quadrangle cone can be seen in the distance.

"And you've missed me so much."

I had stopped by a little bit a hundred years ago, but I should have been a little more lively at the time.

It is from the beginning that there are few travellers, so perhaps the number of residents is decreasing in the first place.

"Oh, that's unusual. Are you travelers?

It was a middle-aged woman who looked like a resident who had spoken to the Lion line.

"Yeah, I am. We're on our way to the Beast Nation."

"It's just kids, isn't it? It's hard to cross this desert."

"Don't worry about it. Because I'm still an adventurer."

"No, no, no, no. Even adventurers do a lot of work in the desert every year."

With that said, Lancelot was dying, Rion recalls.

The desert environment seems to be tough for S-rank adventurers as well.

(Well, I think Lancelot is a pretty weak category among the S-ranks)

"That's right, auntie. This city feels so lonely."

"The lake is dying. There are more young kids out there, knowing there's no future in this city."

"The lake?

"Why don't you go check it out?

The Lyons came to the shore of the lake after being taken by a middle-aged woman.

But all that was there was dry sand.

At its center, there was just a puddle about twenty meters in diameter at best.

"I used to be a lake all over this sandy area, hey. Now it's like this."

"How did this happen? Because it's not raining?

Mertella asks, but it hardly rains on the land from the beginning.

Yet this lake has been hoarding water, by the way.

"Come on. According to the legend, a long time ago, someone made a lake here with special powers. Then I built a city, and more and more people. That's how the city was born."

And it seems that the person who created the lake became the first king.

They say the giant ruins of the quadrangle cone visible in the distance are his tomb.

"If you want to know more, go to the lord. The lord seems to be his descendant. Either way, there is no inn in this city, so if I could stay, it would be like a lord's mansion."

They rarely have travelers, so they don't have accommodation in the first place.

Lyon was told the place and decided to go to the lord's mansion.

"... here?

When I said mansion, it was just a little bigger than the rest of the house, and it didn't change that much.

"I'm sorry."

"Yes, sir."

It was an old man who came out of it.

Dressed like a desert resident and ruffled short sleeve half trousers, but apparently he's the lord.

When Lyon told me what was going on, he was comfortable with the stay.

"However, just now, another traveler is staying. There's only one room. Still don't mind?

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"By the way, she's also an adventurer, and she's out for a little while now at my request."

"Request?"

"It's an investigation of the ruins you can see over there."

Beyond the window the lord pointed to, I saw the giant ruins of that quadrangle cone.

"Apparently, she's an adventurer who specializes in exploring ruins and labyrinths or something. They're looking for something called sleeping in that ruin."

"Something?

"The legendary magic artifact that supposedly created this city's lake is an infinite amount of water."
