Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

Lesson 2671: Joint Exercise Edition - Ancient Armor -

A joint military exercise led by Emperor Leonhardt. It was the Adventure Department that participated in it, but it was also carried over from the end of the first day to the next. However, that was not the end, and the three men at the upper level and Yuri also took part in the evening party hosted by Emperor Leonhardt afterwards, and Sora anticipated the future activities of merchants and bank executives. For a moment, he was talking with Reil and his usual army masters.

Bernstein introduced a man named Archill, Urca's ambassador. He said that he had come into contact with them for some purpose, so he moved to a quiet place where he could talk away from the center of the party.

There's a room like this, right?

"Yeah... have you ever used it...?"

Yeah... Keitaro... I think there's a guildmaster.

The four of them moved to the upstairs part of the venue. The venue was like a private room with a view. After all, when the lords gathered together, there came a time when they had to talk. It was prepared for such a time. Of course, the Empire would eavesdrop on it, so it was right to use it when they didn't want to be bothered by the people around them rather than using it for confidential consultations.

"Haha, I see... oh, Lord Bernstein. First of all, thank you for arranging the place."

"What do you mean, good?"

First, Bernstein shakes his head in gratitude to Archill. Therefore, when I was able to calm down and talk again, Archill placed a video projection device on the desk.

"Well... I'm going to do a lot of prepositioning." We don't have much time for each other. That's why I'm going to go straight to the point. You can find it here. ”

When Archill says that, he activates the device on his desk. What was reflected was the half-dead and half-damaged armor, though not complete. I don't know whether it would shine or emit something in the chest area, but it was a slightly unbalanced armor that was similar to glass and somewhat old-fashioned and futuristic. Seeing such armor, Reil leaned his head back.

"This is..."

Moments. Don't you recognize me?

……

Asked by Bernstein, I instantly saw the armor that was reflected back. I didn't recognize it, but there were certainly verses that came to mind.

"... I don't remember seeing it... but I thought it was similar to the light armor the bandits used." However, there was definitely nothing like the glass in the center, and other colors were more brown..... "

"Yes... this is a draft of the light armor used by the bandits based in the great desert of Urca... or a prototype, no, it might be a good idea to call it an original."

"" Original? ""

Instantly, Reel and I tilted their necks together. To this, Archill asks for confirmation.

Yeah... you know that bandits in the Great Desert use strange magic tools, right?

"Yeah... I've been to Urca several times during my stay, so... I've seen it there."

I've been listening to you for a while.

The moment it was deposited with < < > > as an adventurer, it was different. So for a moment, I fought many times with the bandits of Urca, but Reel had never seen the magic tools.

"This armor is actually one of them."

"I've been injured in my hands for a moment." You've heard of it, haven't you? "

"Yeah... is that what this is?"

"It's an embarrassing story." This was taken in several battles with Augustine. "

In response to an instant inquiry, Bernstein took out a magic tool similar to the Archill from his pocket and placed it on the desk. Projection of several pictures. There were bandits fighting Augdine, and he was retreating in support of a merchant corps or something. I saw a few of those bandits and nodded instantly.

"Oh, this armor. What I saw....."

"I guess... you're not the one I want to see." It's these guys. "

Bernstein said that, in the back of the picture. It wasn't the end bandits who wore the simplified armor that I saw, it was the bandits who were small. Looking at the armor wrapped around those bandits, they compared it to the photo of the Archill next to them.

"This is..."

"I wonder if it's the same thing..." There is a slight difference in the details..... "

“Yeah, I think we're pretty much the same.”

Bernstein nodded to Lil's words, and expanded his collection of photos. Confirm the bandits wearing armor similar to the armor of Archill's unfolded video on some of them. Therefore, Archill went on to convince the two of them that it was probably the same armor or the same source.

“Perhaps the difference is due to the fact that we have replicated the parts that were lost during the restoration with the current technology.”

"According to our investigation, the people wearing this armor are the ones who are close to the bandit king... the SS." This is what they use. ”

"I see..."

When I was told for sure, it didn't look like it was wildly fluttering. So the moment asked.

So, this armor is hard to come by?

"No... that's not true."

Instantly shaking his head, Bernstein looks at Archill. So now he took over the word.

“This armor was found in a newly discovered ruin in the Great Desert.”

"A new ruin...?" I heard that the excavation in the great desert of Urca is not very advanced either..... "

"Yes. The skyboat technology is at its dawn, and they've finally secured most of it from the center of the desert, where we can hope for a safe start..."

As I suspected, the investigation into the desert had not progressed. Archill sighed and shook his head.

"That's true. I heard from Lord Bernstein, and when I searched for Ballantine's materials with the McDowells again, I found some ruins that were likely to be undiscovered."

Well... that's how it is.

You know what I mean. Bernstein tells both of them with his gaze that Archill hasn't seen himself. And now they both seem to have figured it out. Therefore, since this was not related to the subject matter, Bernstein will let the subject matter proceed as it is.

"So, the ruins that we found, it looks like they didn't do anything about it." Well, it's pretty far out in the desert and completely buried in the sand, so I don't know... "

It was buried in the sand... you found it quite well.

"If it weren't for the big dad's information, we wouldn't be looking for him." Most of us wouldn't have seriously looked for my grandfather's information if we hadn't talked about it. "

As has been said several times, Kite and Ballantine's approval ratings in Urca no longer reach unusual territory. It was unavoidable, but it seemed that everyone was seriously looking for it, even in situations where there was only one clue. And as a result, it was found. Bernstein shook his head in awe of the hard work of the people of Urca.

"Well, that's fine." I found it in the bowl and in the corner... so I went into the investigation. That's where we found him. ”

Could it be that the ruins were swallowed up by the sand?

"No, I think I've probably been attacked by a monster." A shattered weapon had fallen nearby, so it must have been hit and killed. Since Mako-san's body was not recovered and stayed that way, I guess that's what happened. "

It must have been so worn out that I couldn't even recover it. I instantly thought so, listening to what Bernstein had to say. Nevertheless, the result is that we have this information. It was not a bad thing for them in future generations.

"Yes... and now the Republic of Urca is secretly supporting the investigation of the ruins by Lord Bernstein and Lord Augustine."

"But it's not me and him... do you remember, Leena?"

"Yes, it's your daughter's, isn't it?"

"Oh, he's leading the investigation team." Dyne and I stand out from the crowd. He scratches the bandits around, and he investigates behind them. "

"I see..."

Leena was one of Bernstein's daughters, and she was a big woman. When I was in Urca, I was cared for several times. He was one of those powerful cultivators who said in an instant that his skills were definitely stronger, but he still couldn't win.

However, because she was less prominent than Bernstein and Augdine - a deliberately less prominent species - she secretly gathered information while Augdine stood out and fought the bandits.

"So, some of the better magic armor was still unearthed at the head of that one." Well, I'm secretly doing it so that the bandits don't find out, so I'm not going anywhere... "

"Still, we have a lot of information that we haven't had before. So, you two... House Barnstadt. Therefore, I would like to ask the McDowell family or the Adventure Department to help me analyze this magic armor.”

Parse?

The Adventure Department, which had a tech team, could certainly do something that was misleading. In the blink of an eye, the McDowell family's technical abilities were too overwhelming to compare, but they could not hide their confusion. And this time, Bernstein told him.

"Ah... well, for a moment. Your confusion is all the more puzzling." But of course, there is a solid reason for this. "

"Why...?"

"Ah... ambassador"

"Yes....."

At Bernstein's request, Archill rotates the projection of the armor. That's exactly what was reflected on the shoulder. It was quite worn out and hard to see, but there was some kind of carved design.

"This is..."

"It doesn't have much magical significance. But it's only true that it's a pattern that has some meaning.”

"Oh... that's why." Certainly, a technical analysis would be enough to ask Kuzha's aunt, but it would be a religious story. And I don't know what's going on here, but I can't judge it's us, so I decided that it's faster for you guys to get through. "

"I see... it is possible that we have more information on the myths of the Enesian continent..."

Although this is unavoidable, it is Kite who is in direct contact with those who belonged to the old civilization. Currently, the Adventure Department specializes in ruins exploration, and it has more information than other guilds and nobles.

As has been said several times, the Adventure Department has the greatest track record of exploring ruins in Enefia in the past year. It would have been natural to think that the Adventure Department's opinion would have been correct. Of course, behind that, I thought these two routes would be the surest way to report to Kite.

“Okay, I'll talk to Kite. How do I respond?”

"If you can bring it to me." I'll be on the flagship of the Empire for the next three days, and I'll be in the Imperial City first... so I was wondering if I could get in touch with you. "

Got it.

I can't move because I don't want to be sure about Kite either. So, for the moment, I decided to take this case home to respond to Archill's request for the time being.
