The Strongest Wizard Who Makes Full Use of the Strategy Book

Episode Five: Ruins of Tabla and Basecamp Street

Crim says it's likely that Ramsey headed for the "ruins of Tabla".

It is an ancient monument that tells the story of a massive site and a still vast unexploited area.

I need more than a "Level 2 permit" to get in, but I have a "Level 1", so no problem.

To get to the ruins of Tabla, we went first for the nearest town.

The name of this town is also called Tabla.

As soon as the massive ancient ruins are discovered from beneath the sand, the base camp of the adventurers can be created and eventually developed into a town.

The name of the town has also changed, and it is called by the same name as its ancient site.

The streets were not laid to the town of Tabla, and we traveled from the Oasis village to the village.

Getting around is an easy thing to do. Anyway, I have the Narsai.

"This is so easy dick! Plus, the wind's banging and it feels good!

And Crim is also a big shag without merit.

"I don't have a roof, though, and I need to be careful with solar radiation"

I was reluctant to rush ahead, but I took many breaks in the shadows of the rocks.

When I stopped by the Oasis again, I had a break and asked about Ramsey's footprints.

The Strategy Book contains a precisely depicted Ramsey sketch.

Using that, he said, "Didn't such an old man stop by on his journey? I can hear you."

However, because there is a security problem in showing off the Strategy Book itself, I used a further copy of it on the paper.

I'm not picturesque, but if I'm observant, I'm confident. If we captured the characteristics and drew them simply, we managed to get them to the sketch.

Crim was also honestly impressed with "Well, you're good at it."

And then he said, "Hate... you're not supposed to know each other. Why can you paint a Ramsey sketch?" And I was pursued, "so I said," This is magic! ♪ And I misled. ♪

And this sketch-hearing operation worked, and I was able to hear Ramsey-like sightings as I went.

"Looks like he's on his way to Tabla Ruins after all."

"Let's go after him as best we can"

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

But in the end, we arrived in the town of Tabla without catching up with Ramsey.

On holiday desert journeys, we may not be able to take advantage of the speed of the Narsai, but it would also be due to Ramsey's terrible familiarity with the journey.

I get the feeling that he's still the person to look at, including the healthy legs I don't think of as an old man.

The town of Tabla had a full range of facilities and services, just to support the adventurers.

Everywhere, such as the Inn, which combines a tavern, they sold adventurer-friendly bills and different perks.

For example, "Guests staying at our store will receive a complete map up to six levels of 'Tabla Ruins'!" Or, "I'll tell you where the five-tier hidden room is! You think so?"

I've heard about the location of a well-known hidden room, and I think it tastes zero...

In the meantime, we headed for the "Gold coin falling from the palm" pavilion.

Crim said, it seems to be an ever-staying inn in Ramsey.

Someone would introduce me or if I didn't have the Strategy Book, I wouldn't be able to find it first, it was also in the back street, it was a lonely store.

Even if Crim and I go in, the owner of the store doesn't even want to say hello.

However, the floor is carefully polished, and the garbage kind is not left unattended.

You mean not loving, but not uncomfortable staying?

I mean, it's a matter of what we value, of professionalism direction - and so was Bazelph - but I'm not hard on these bigoted people.

On the other hand, there's also a flirtatious mind to surprise him a little.

"Master. Is the room empty?

"... how many?

"With the two of you. - What the hell."

"... what the hell?

For the first time, the owner of the store turned to the entrance where we were.

His eyes opened in dismay.

Zucine...... Zucine...... Zucine...... Zucine......

I was so surprised that my eyeballs popped up when I saw the greatness of Gladys MK-II, the Mithrill Golem that came after me.

"It's just the two of us. Is the room empty?

I asked again with a clear face.

"It's for the golem... it's a room... hey... The floor will fall out..."

Oyaji did all the shopkeeper's work, though he blurted out.

Yeah, that's the professional guts I looked up to!

Then we decided to take two private rooms and one space for a camel hut. Camel hut, of course, for Gladys.

The money is paid in advance for three days. I tried to color it with an apology for the flirting, but Oyaji didn't take it grumpy. Professional.

"We followed Ramsey. You're supposed to be staying here, right?

"I don't know, a man like that"

"So you're not in the room right now?

"Oh, no, I don't. Such a guy."

"Does that mean you're going to the ruins now"

"Whatever you think, golem husband."

Oyaji has always been on the top of the Buddha.

It's a thoughtful interaction where you don't give away customer information cheaply, but you're free to guess.

I look back at Crim.

"Wait a night, and if you don't come back, we'll go to the ruins too"

"Oh, I like that"

Crim agrees, too, to stay overnight for now.

Dinner was delicious. The owner of the store, Oyaji, has bad sides but not bad cooking skills.

When I applied the pasted hiyoko beans to the bread, I ate them infinitely.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

In the end, Ramsey didn't come home.

We decided to head to "Tabla Ruins" in the early morning.

Gone, the owner of the store, Oyaji, gave me a lunch box (basket) to hang out with, "Of the lodging fee."

The "ruins of Tabla" are about a kilometer from the city down the desert.

You can see tall buildings, so unless even a sandstorm blows, you won't get lost.

Clear today. With the Narsai, it was a short distance away.

Me, Crim, and Gladys on board, running comfortably through the sandy ocean.

Today, the majority of what is called "ancient monuments" in this country was a very common town during the Old Magic Empire five hundred years ago.

Nevertheless, it just had a magical civilization that went further than modern times, and the "general" feeling and standards are flying away.

All the towns at the time were housed in what they called the "pyramids," giant metal buildings.

The pyramid is a building about one kilometer long and three hundred meters high at the bottom, with the appearance of a positive quadrangle cone. However, it was correctly in the form of an octahedron, with the structure that the lower half was still buried in the ground at the time, thus reflected in the positive quadrilateral cone from the outside.

We're looking for exactly that, a cone-shaped building.

"Atashi will suffer to understand what they thought at the time and what they lived in such a huge box of iron"

"Supposedly the protection from the outside enemy was perfect, though?

"Han, being a prose man! This is why he's a wizard!

"Thanks to a number of (magic items), however, it is said that the interior had no problems with lighting and was always full of fresh air. It seems like a nice place to live."

"So Atashi, I can't see the sun or the moon without the sky, I'm sorry to dwell all the way in a hentecoline iron box. I'm gonna catch my breath."

"Nevertheless, thanks to what you call a hentecoline box, it is certain that it existed in its entirety as an ancient site"

If this were the form of a town that we commonly think of, the magical imperial-era towns buried deep beneath the sand would never have shown their appearance on earth again.

But because it was a giant building, the top part of it peeked over the sand.

The adventurers make a leap through the wide desert to find undiscovered ruins with their heads up on the sand.

And I dream of being certified to the country as the first discoverer and having my own name on the ruins.

Undiscovered ruins that used to remain buried all the way up to the heavenly edge are blown away by the sand that was deposited in the storm and the top part gives a new peek into your face - oh my god, they often do.

Or they use enormous amounts of gold to do civil works, digging back to where they hit, and some luxury merchants and nobles to unearth the undiscovered ruins themselves. It is also carried out in the national policy of the present empire.

"The sad times surrounding the ancient monuments are a story that cannot be cited."

"That guy. Next time, let me ask you while you're drinking. We're here."

We arrived at the "Tabla Ruins" entrance without much trouble.

At the top, there was a place that I thought used to be used as a watchdog window, and now we can break into the interior of the site instead of the front door.

Near the entrance were guarded by about fifty Arabana soldiers.

And I ran into a scene that was somewhat troubled.

"Look, look! Is that a proper secondary permit?

"How much money did this one want to get!?

"Cool those eyes and do a good job of checking."

Three young adventurers were appealing diligently to the guards.

What a threesome, youngsters with faces together.

In contrast, the guards answered with a uniformly inferior grin as they passed through.

"Hi-hi, I'm sorry to hear that. I needed a Primary Permit to investigate the ruins of Tabla. Yes, I did (...) I did (...) now (...)"

"Hehe. If you really want to be right, show me the sincerity you deserve. Even if it's expensive and delicious, then maybe we'll get drunk and neglect security, too?

"Hyahahaha, nice to meet you all for fifty!

"Gehaha, if I didn't have that money, I'd bring you a Primary Permit!

"Ihihi, I wish I could bring it!

and surround the three adventurers to be scoffed at scatterly.

I saw such a sight and couldn't stop sighing.

"It's been a while since I've been here, but this country is finally falling."

And Crim is also sniffing unpleasantly again.

If the emperor is the emperor, the soldier is the soldier.

Regardless, I don't think that this kind of sight is passing by anywhere because of a very small part of it. I just find it ironic that eggs go first or chickens go first, when I wonder if the once glorious empire will fade away from such a terminal part as well.

Meanwhile, the triplets were also confused.

"No more money... no more..."

"First class permits are not a substitute for adventurers..."

"Brother, I know these guys and I can't help it. Come on..."

All three of them were good old and were about to cry out already.

The guards watched with increasing pleasure.

"If you sit down and lick our shoes, it could turn you through and into motivation. Huh?

and so on, and said something that surely was not in my mind, and stood up.

When I asked Crim to wait, he broke into the alley of the guards.

"Get out of there. I'll let you through."

Suddenly he stands next to the triplets and gathers the guards' gaze all together.

"What the fuck, Temee, all of a sudden!?

"I've come to explore the ruins. Can I come through?

"I don't know what to do!

"Wait for the order, give the order!

"Do you have a permit?

"It's not Class II! First class!

"If you can get it out, get it out. Hey, young monk!

"I (...) or (...) or (...)"

I took the Primary Permit from my nostalgia and showed it to him.

"Whoa, whoa..."

"Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess, autographed......"

"Ho, it's real... eh"

"It's been years since I've seen it. Ah...?

The guards immediately peeled off their eyes and swept away.

Or so I thought, being a humble face and a rubber,

"Go ahead. Come through, adventurer Sama"

"Because you know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

"Please forgive my earlier disrespect..."

"It's just so light, it's like it fits..."

"Do you have any? Haven't you lost yesterday's booze? Am I still drunk?"

And so on, begging forgiveness toward me.

"Don't get me wrong. Forgive me or not, I have no authority to do that."

"" "Well, that's..." "

"Are you begging for forgiveness from the upper ranks of the army and His Highness?

"" "What" "

"I hope they approve of the revamping. But Her Royal Highness seemed a lot harsh."

"" "Death Yonay" "

The guards shoved at me in unison.

Everyone was jealous of their barbarity, and imagining their unbright advance.

Well, it would have been a good pill.

By the way, I'm really not gonna snitch on anybody about this shit.

Regardless of that fool, if Heydal or Farah were truly a decent exchanger, the laxity, distortion of this hand's organization would sooner or later be solemnized.

Even if they didn't, that's what I deserved, not what I found out.

Well, if it's a bet, I'll bet on the one to be corrected.

The eyes burning in Princess Farah's wrath, which I saw in the palace, were impressive.

Once again, we went for the entrance to the ruins of Tabla.

Well, I look back at the triplets and say,

"What are you doing? Come quick."

The triplets looked surprised, often staring at each other in that face, but soon rushed over with joy and courage.

It was already the style of the puppy waving his tail.
