The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker

The city of dreams built by the settlers to the "continent of doom" - there is no record of how big Lanzharvest was.

So Hikaru has no choice but to speculate, though smaller than Dreammaker today, it doesn't seem to be much smaller.

There were thousands of people in the population - less than that, you wouldn't be able to say "statehood on the new continent" or anything else.

Come on, let's go.

The trees were breaking cobblestones and destroying the houses.

As we move on, we'll know more and more about the town.

The metal sign representing the store was corroded and fell.

The room that was barely on the roof was loaded with dust.

The boulevard was wide enough that a few carriages seemed different, but there were wild dogs roaming about as far back as Hikaru.

"... does this not know where the guild is in the first place?

"Stinky."

Koo says that's all he's been grumpy about since just now. From the dreammaker, it's coming to the back of the woods, so I guess it smells natural.

By the way, this ruin is just in the middle when you look at it in the north and south of the continent. Dreammakers are all the way south.

Hikaru did a lot of exploring this day but found no place that he thought would be useful.

First of all, there's nothing left in many buildings. There were too many buildings that seemed to have been brought out during the invasion of the monster and were just empty houses.

Next, more than half of the buildings have collapsed. It varies from what has collapsed over time, what monsters have ravaged and destroyed - monsters also compete with each other's species.

"Hmmm...... I guess I'll cut it up early. It wasn't decided that there was an Adventurer Alliance."

'Really?

The city was secluded and quiet.

Hikaru slept on the second floor of a relatively safe building on this day - choosing a building with broken stairs and lying down in that room all alone.

Hikaru acts early the next morning. I only narrowed my focus to larger buildings because I didn't have enough time to look into every little house. First the lord - the king? It's a museum-like building. In the centre of the city, the grounds are large. But the degree of destruction had also progressed.

The walls are almost broken and the courtyard is full of weeds. The building also had a few columns left, but that's about it, and you can't judge "This is the Lords' Hall" without careful observation.

The next thing Hikaru went for was a bureau-like building. It was three stories taller than the rest of the building. The third floor was almost collapsed, but the second and first floors were safe.

"Oh... I have paperwork to do, but..."

Could it be an official document, the records were kept but mostly rotten?

"Wouldn't it be like 'The Underground of the Ancient Divine People'?"

It was at the deepest end of the dungeon there, but the humidity wasn't very intrusive, and even the magical preservation seemed to work.

But sometimes Lans Harvest is sandwiched between the woods and the sea and corrodes quickly. There is no use for official documents even as a hical, so I will go through there and check inside.

"Uh, the safe's been hit"

The metal box as high as Hikaru's waist had the door wide open. It's empty inside. I guess I brought it up when there was a raid by a monster.

"... you hardly have anything like a human bone"

I thought you were more full of human bones, but I barely see them. Sometimes in the building. Whether the monster carried it, some insects that process human bones, or simply weathered it - no, it's too early to weather it. Not many residents were killed indoors, most of them either by boat or outdoors on the way out.

We'll explore upstairs, but this one was just as devastated as the first floor.

"Hmm?"

That's when I heard Gatan and sound from the ground floor, and Hikaru activated "Magic Detection" - I noticed.

Usually they just run laterally, and in the woods and so on, they also run upward. Because if you're checking all directions, the detection range is too wide and the brain is overburdened.

Something just seems to have collapsed about the identity of the sound and there is no sign of the creature.

But this...

"Right, underground"

"Underground?"

"There's a basement here."

Hikaru rarely used "magic detection" downward, so he overlooked it.

There was a magical reaction from the underground.

I looked for the entrance to the basement but couldn't find it. Ultimately, the entrance to the basement existed like a hidden passage in a storeroom.

When I open the door, the dust dances. Covering his mouth with a cloth cut, Hikaru goes down the stairs to the basement with a demon guide lamp.

The walls and ceilings are soggy and the feet are slippery, so I go down carefully - and I went out into a pompous space.

"Ooh..."

"Storage?"

"... well, the storage?

The walls were fitted with shelves but collapsed due to corrosion. Blackish, perhaps the fruit of the wood was along the wall. Nothing in particular near the center of the room, but beyond that - at the back wall was a magic prop that was caught in Hikaru's "magic detection" sitting.

"I knew it."

Hikaru's hip-tall stone was cut diagonally, and something like an iron pen - rusty and not sure - was rolling a few bottles underneath it.

"Urgent, demonic attack. That number is extremely high. Rands Harvest defense is difficult. His Majesty the New King has notified me of the renunciation of the capital. Requesting the help of the Villeocean Navy."

Letters of Understanding Monsville

That was the only wording written there.

"Ringa blade pen". Slightly different from anything Hikaru has ever seen, but definitely.

"I wonder if I can use it.... but as of 500 years ago, it already didn't seem to work..."

The second message would be a reply from Vileocean, but the only reason the letters were barely visible was because the communication didn't work.

"But there seems to be a magic catalyst left, and I think I'll use it for a little while"

Hikaru pinched the golden powder that was stuck by the iron pen with his fingers. This "Ringa feather pen" - although it is not in the form of a feather pen but an iron pen - seems to be rubbing the magic catalyst to react, so there is no problem with the fingers. Magic reactions are felt from this catalyst and pedestal.

"'This is Rands Harvest'... more"

When the gold letters emitted light on the table, they became black stains. The letters were sent - there's no doubt only that. It is unclear whether there is a recipient.

…………

No reaction.

'Let's get out of here. There's some air in here. "

"Hmm... ma, okay"

Hikaru also wanted to wait a little longer, but left the room thinking it would be hopeless given that it didn't work 500 years ago.

"Oh, are you all right? I don't think he's hurt... but he's full of dust. '

Look at Hikaru back there. Jin says that. Hikaru also pays for them by hand because it is true that the clothes were dirty everywhere.

"The harvest is nashi, right? There were no monsters inside the city unexpectedly, but they didn't have anything to eat."

"Didn't the woods get into the city?

"The outer periphery was eroded, but those inside are fine. You're amazing how the house collapses. I guess there's hardly anything worth it."

"Right or right. But what a safe return. I heard you could kill the signs and move, but you and Jin were half-hearted."

"Ha... you have to have a chance"

"So you're going to the Tower?"

"Of course."

When Hikaru responded instantly, he tried to think about it, then Wakamar said.

"... Actually, after you left for the city, Jin and I went north to see the Tower. Then there was nowhere like that."

"I guess. Even when I come back from Villeocean, I don't think anyone realizes it, so I can't see it from the sea."

"I can't see it from the sea...... can you see it from land? How could you do that?

"You can. The military is doing something similar."

When Hikaru talked about optical camouflage, Wakamal seemed convinced "is that it".

"But that technology..."

Wakamal looks sinister.

"What's up?

"... you should still talk about it"

Wakamal talks to Jin. At first Jin looked surprised, but after seeing Hikaru, he glanced back at Wakamal again and nodded to agree on something.

"Jin agreed, too, and I thought we'd talk about it."

"What?

- About the traitor.
