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

Episode 1144: The ruins at the bottom of the lake

Return to Earth, the original purpose of Heavenly Cherry Blossom School. For this reason, the kites who obtained the map in Legado, inside the floating city of Raingard, a legacy of prehistoric civilization, succeed in discovering the lab that was sinking into the depths of an unnamed lake in the northwestern part of McDawell territory based on the information obtained from it. In the meantime, the kites who had completed the simplified preservation of the site were supposed to conduct an actual investigation.

"Hmm...... Fireflies. What's going on with the underground structure?

"… below, check the cavity. Looks like the structure's still there for a while."

"Then there's no total collapse, do you mean... water?

"Some of them are submerged."

In response to Kite's inquiry, a firefly wearing investigative gear will present its findings this time. It should also be noted that the members who were the main survey team of the central building said near Kite that they were headed by a firefly, called the moon.

Three other people are supposed to be incorporated here: Al, Rufus and Alice, on a rotating basis. Al needs information when he asks the military to preserve him after the investigation of the kites, and Rufaus is simply very strong. Alice is out of the question of collaboration.

It should be noted that three other relatively safe buildings besides this central building had been confirmed at this site, each with its own troops centered around Sola, Moment and Xiang. Otherwise, if it means troop leader, Cherry Blossom commands in the camp outside, and Ruiki leads the Dragon Knight Squad as its perimeter guard.

Well, by "Mizuki," the Dragon Knights can't fight underwater on a boulder. Either way, it would be best to have them provide perimeter protection with high mobility and a wide radius of action. It was never incorporated into the investigation team.

"Hmm...... Tina. Don't forget your underwater gear, stay with me."

"Mm-hmm. It seems highly probable that water has flowed into the lower cavity as well."

"Maybe."

Kate keeps a one-off meeting with Tina. The leaves are supposed to come with Oa and the others, and they have not yet arrived for the arrival of the members. They also arrange repair parts for the magic furnace, etc., and it will be the day after tomorrow at the earliest. So as for the kites, if it's possible by then, it's where I want to find the power room.

It should be noted that the technical team of the Adventure Department is also being brought in this time, so basically, they are operating each team. Specifically, there are three people operating on each squad at all times, one dedicated to the top like this time Kate and Tina, and two placements for the other members.

That ultimate command was to be exercised by the lights, and they were not part of the investigation team. Just in case there's a fight. With the exception of those like Tina and Maple who can normally fight, most technologists only get their feet together. It would be best to have it checked from a remote location.

"Okay... well, let's go"

When Kate says so, she walks to the door where will never be supposed to follow to the roof. There's an entrance and exit. It was decided that it would be best to enter from here. but, well, naturally, the door didn't move completely.

"... right"

"? Why, what is it?

"The power furnace is shut down, but the automatic door works?

"Ah, uh..."

When it came to too much logic, the calendar I inquired about nodded over and over again. It is. It's with a lost automatic door and a wall. It can't be moving.

"Well, then... well, I'm well equipped this time, so it's okay," he said. Fireflies, help me. "

Copy that.

That's what Kate says, she takes the little magic equipment out of the trinket compartment that hangs on her hips. It looks like a bar-shaped object that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. The tip was made of metal and was only slightly pointy as to whether it could be pierced. And the moon was interested in it.

"What, it"

"Hmm... well, dare I say, a tool for picking"

Kite answers the moon's query, gesturing barely to find something with her hands on the floor. You can think of what you're looking for as the foundation that's embedded in the floor. and fireflies opened their mouths looking at the ceiling part the other way against kite, who had been looking at the floor for a while.

"Master. We have found traces of what appear to be laylines at the top"

"Really... it goes on down there?

"I thought this was… going inside. I can confirm the existence of a line on the side, but it's probably meant to hold something like an authentication code or an access key."

"Right. Is that all you got?"

In response to a firefly report, Kite rises. Maybe he was trying to react when people came in infrared instead of detecting the weight, just like the Earth's automatic door. So the fireflies cut through the walls of the ceiling section in small pieces.

"Good... Everybody, stay back a little. Fireflies, be alert."

Copy that.

Kate lowers them all - because there is a chance that there is an enemy - and places the fireflies with the demon gun next to them and pushes the little magic prop that she took out earlier. and when kite infused him with just a little magic, what an automatic door that should have lost power.

"Good. Bingo... inside... you're safe"

"Enemies… cannot be confirmed. Release alert."

"Oh."

To the firefly report, Kate pulls a small magic item for picking out of the wall and goes into the small store again. Apparently, fortunately, there is no enemy here. As such, the kites enter through the open door. Apparently, it never closes.

"What did you do?

"Hmm? Yeah, if you're losing power and you're not moving, you just have to turn him on. This is what it is for. Well, it's useable because it's losing power, and it's one of the props for the site survey."

Kite takes out the earlier trinket and explains it to the moon. As a general rule, it is as he stated. To put it plainly, electricity was poured directly into the wiring that had been unplugged and moved forcefully.

If it is an electrical device, it is the act of making the device itself a grandfather if you make a mistake, but in that sense, it was something you could do because it is a relatively rugged magic tool. Electrically speaking, it can move even if the voltage and current are slightly different.

"Even if..."

Kite gives in a little and observes the rusty metal that was rolling at her feet.

"... hands?

I don't care where you look from.

Kate picked it up and nodded at the moon inquiry. Well, I'm just stating it as I see it, so you're right it was falling. It was Golem's hand that was falling. Apparently, it deteriorated slowly because it was demonic metal.

"Tina, how long does it take for magic silver to rust?

"Uhm... it's over 1000 years old. Well, given the degree of degradation, it's not from the Mars Empire. '

"Well...... then, what are the chances that the average household has a golem?

'Let's just say there isn't. If I conclude, it's not a hit. "

Read ahead of Kate's words and Tina will come to a conclusion. The Golem can be described as a tremendous treasure at any time. It is not very popular with the general family. It is Legado's word from that time on that it will not change whether it is a metaphor or prehistoric civilization.

This is above all because the material itself is valuable. At the end of the Mars Empire, fireflies also have a history of trying to be developed as household use, but they should nevertheless be said to be for the upper classes only.

The price of the material is too high to be popularized in the general household. Given the numerous special features there, it's easy to imagine that even if it's not for metaphorical combat, it probably goes well beyond one car. If it were for combat use, even the faceless special golem, a mass-produced firefly, would far exceed the price of a single modern small combat airship. Of course, that's a waste compared to that because it performs well accordingly.

"Bingo, huh? How dare you? Well, I haven't had to find him in over a thousand years."

"Rather than, it's better to think that the bottom of the lake was already at the height of the Mars Empire."

"I don't care about the boulders, the empire, the bottom of the lake."

'Well...... yup. I'm not going to look into the rest. "

Tina smiles slightly at Kate's words. This one had circumstances specific to Enefia.

'There is, indeed, land in Enefia that cannot be developed. As a result, many investigations do not go much further. All this.'

"Well, there's plenty of land at the same time..."

Kate sighed as an exchanger. This problem is particularly pronounced in the McDawell family. His land far exceeds Japan's national territory. It's even more special because of Kate's assignment. Therefore, there were numerous problems that would not normally occur. So Kite exhaled a deep sigh.

"Ha... I would have liked to have put Maxwell in the middle more if I could..."

"Well, there's no way to do all that."

Tina laughs and sends comfort to the mourning kite. After all, if you are an exchanger, you want to keep your home base in the middle of the land, which can be called the capital. Because that's what works best for the economy and governance.

Most importantly, the farther you get, the less you can see yourself. For that matter, it's easy to hide from the rulers and do whatever you want. Inevitably, the misconduct that happened was a headache for Kite and the others.

but getting Kate to Maxwell in the first place was a defensive circumstance at the time. And there's Kite's return to Earth, and there's a history of it developing as it is. Now we're moving the base. There's no way I could say that. Because it even affects the economy of the Empire.

"Ha... why are you ruling more land than Japan, I..."

"I didn't have the right person. I mean, if you look at the situation at the time, who would want to be based right in front of the demonic realm? '

"Wow. Just sayin"

Tina likewise gives a reason in the first place for Kite stating the cause in the first place. For better or worse, he was a hero. So after just finishing off a wasted topic to talk about, Kite decides to move on. So the first thing to see is a collapsed staircase, no matter how you look at it.

"Well... no matter how you look at it, you're not going to make it down."

"Of course not. Stay as good as you can tell by the stairs."

"Good... everyone, be careful when you go down. Slipping your legs can be more of a collapse and upside down. There's nothing I can do about the collapse, but I can handle slipping my legs with caution. If it collapses, wait on the spot."

That's what Kate says, he takes the initiative and goes into the stairs. Come on, he's the best expert. It would be best to get ahead of him. So the kites go further down.

"Four floors down from the roof"

"Confirm descent 4 levels from the rooftop...... um. Are there any problems so far? '

"Well, it's just down there"

Kite responds to Tina's words by looking around at the situation in that hierarchy. I don't know why this ruin collapsed, nor why this laboratory was to be destroyed. And I don't know what's going on with the structure of this ruin.

Instead, the task of confirming it is this one. Command will be making a three-dimensional map by now, after checking the situation after Kate and the others have passed by. To complete it, Kite and the others just move on.

'... Mm. Kite. Stop a little'

"What's up?

"You got something?

As Kate stops her leg, Yuri tilts her neck. I haven't found anything so far. but I guess there are things that bother me about staying together.

"So far, can you look at it again?

"So far?

Right, about 20 degrees.

"Okay."

Upon Tina's request, Kate turns her face in the direction she directs. It looked like the ceiling had collapsed from the upper level, making it completely dead.

"Nothing, though?

"Almost down there...... oh there"

"... you got something?

"There's just something like a box..."

I hear you have something to worry about. For Tina, Kate asks, and Yuri tells you what she sees. From a depth of 50 meters on the boulder, it is further into the ruins. Though the lights are on in magic for once, the details are not entirely clear.

Sometimes you can better understand the footage you can see from Kite's headset, which is secretly mounted from a high-sensitivity camera to something - much more powerful than the stuff for Alliance members in Adventure.

'... um. Kite, look a little closer.'

"Oh, okay...... all, pause. Be on perimeter alert. Yuri, let's go."

"Hoi Sa"

When Kate gives instructions to the investigation team, she follows Tina's instructions on foot with Yuri. That's how approaching the collapsed wall, Yuri noticed.

There was something like a cable stuck to something like a metal box that she found, and it looked like some kind of torso, depending on how she looked.

"... this... cable?

"Well... could it be the torso of the Golem... is it?

"I thought I would, so I asked Regado to confirm it, but I think I figured it out. I'm pretty sure it's the torso part of the security golem."

What Kate was looking at was a square metal object. Although Kate had also noticed this, she didn't notice any cables on the boulder. I guess it's beyond pausable as video that you noticed. No, even without that, you might have noticed in Tina's case.

"That means..."

"Well, there's no doubt about it in the lab..."

"Fighting is normal," he said.

"Bye."

Tina acknowledges Yuri's words. I mean, that's what I mean. The security golem is normal, but it's made to fight. And the kites, naturally, are not researchers. It is an intruder. I'm glad to say that if you encounter a living security golem, there will be a battle.

"Tina, tell the command to alert everyone."

"Uhm. Take care of yourself and move on."

"I know."

This just came out as a certainty that I knew it in the first place. You need to be careful, you don't have to worry about it now. That's why Kate decided to move on with more caution.
