The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 533 - Abandoned Ruins Middle Layer 7 -
"Okay, here we are."
At the same time that Thorca descended into the earth, he lit up his surroundings with light. Many have fallen ill to the sudden movement of others down on the ground and their shock.
You were unhappy that the landing didn't go well, or you fumbled at the soleca.
"Oh, my God, that's dull. - It moved so gently, you can't even land well?
"Don't be with you, Saurka. It moves at a speed close to the light and is most difficult to stop. Even metastatic magic is intoxicating, but without my inertial and gravitational controls, some people get their bodies screwed off, right?
"Humans are brittle."
"Even the silver family is special to you."
Saul or not complained about Alphilis's objections, but he didn't say it any harder when he saw some of them vomit. Relatively safe was about Betts, Lexus, and even Diore felt dizzy and on one knee.
"What, this is..."
"Ugh, disgusting. No."
"Ho ho, ho... sorry. For a while, can I take a break?
Larna and others looked blue and vomited, but Sorca and Alphilis were exploring the surroundings without even looking at her.
"Saurka, where are we?
"Come on? I meant I chose a big place that was easy to land in. If you stop in a poorly narrow place, the shock waves will echo and it'll be even worse, won't it? Besides, if I hit the sonar, I'd have a better place in Ucco. I'd like to put a piece on it with a preemptive blow, if possible, but I think I've come a long way. I had a few branches when I fell, but I guess I took them off."
"Really... can't you get more lights?
"I woke up in the evening and haven't had much sun, so I don't want to waste it if possible"
"Is it about 40% of the effort?
"I guess 30% strong. I think we'll lose when Ucco recovers."
Alphilis knowing that there is no room for more than thoughts in Saurka's words. Whether you want to find a place for Ucco, signs of Ucco are also rare in places without spirits. So I was looking up at the statue in front of me unexpectedly, trying to find out what was going on around me first.
"Is this...?
"... what is it?
Saurka turned the light source upwards when she saw the reaction of Alphilis, but there was a statue several times the size of a human. It also looks like a golem, but for that it is a metallic, bipedal golem.
While I don't really want to expand the light sources, when Saurka released multiple light sources around her, the surrounding walls were lined with similar giants at regular and equal intervals. Those arms and legs were thin, there was no face, and only the cheeky face looked down at them to add and subtract.
Thorca flew the light source in all directions, but as far as I can see, the metal giants seem to be in line all the time. That number wouldn't be 100 or 200. Maybe more than a thousand loose ends.
A servant Sorca also seemed creepy to this sight.
"... does it work? You don't even look like a monument keeper or a gatekeeper."
"Okay, please. If this is all the gatekeepers, this is where we die."
"That's right. Maybe it's not the right place. I'm not going to move now, but if these numbers of gatekeepers move simultaneously - how many days will the ground be flat?
"If we were to go all directions from here, it wouldn't take 30 days. Simola knew this existed...?
When two people start walking thinking that way, the others follow it with no one else. If we lose sight of these two now, we will be left in a world of true darkness. Some still had the aftermath of the landing, but they started walking patiently there.
"Wide..."
"Who made this?
"Sorcery - I can't put it together well"
"I can't use the Great Stream at all. We need to make sure we organize magic with just the stream."
"You two, what are we doing here?
Betts questioned the leading Alphilis and Saurka. The two replied looking at the left and right lines, at the end of a similar passage that sometimes intersects them.
"I won't struggle if I find that out"
"It's being verified now. It's our first place, too."
"Oh, my God, you can't use it."
"What are you talking about? Whatever you think, arsenal, right?
It was the line that uttered the sudden words. Everyone turned to the words in unison. Of course, Sorca and Alphilis look surprised.
"- Why do you think so?
"It's hard to think about. You're so big, you flatter me, you look so good. How dare you line up all these dolls, you think you'd do it with a hobby? Even in the army, when you're a soldier, you'll line up neatly, right? Just like that, these guys are soldiers waiting to leave. Of course, there's a chance there was some weirdo freak who had hundreds of years of spare time, but it's not zero!
"Huh? Sometimes humans say good things."
Thorca praised him purely, but the line ignored him. And then Alphilis realized that the noise of Alphilis had grown louder in his own head.
"Already awake...? It's too early, but I want you to sleep a little more... eh, what?
"What's up, Miko?"
"Miko said not to. - Huh? You want me to illuminate the metal soldier's chest?
Following Alphilis' soliloquy, Saurka illuminated the metal soldier's chest. On the chest of every soldier, four letters carved, but each seemed different.
