LOG IN
Ancient ruins is dormant in the darkness, the millennium times cannot the erosion fall these firm manual construction material qualities, but actually the erosion falls here had had the human aura, a cold and moist air occupies in the corridor and room that these had experienced the hardships of life, in the air has already not been angry, does not have the dead air/Qi.
This atmosphere has continued such, till was broken by outsider.
The magic crystal stone sends out has lit the path of advance luminously, the fully-armed Cecil fight soldier squad walks under the leadership of Knight Byron in the corridor deep place, they cautiously, concentrate on, as if prepares to deal with these monster that pounces upon suddenly at any time from the darkness freely since they enter ruins to the present, the biggest lifeform of sees also is just several mice.
Knight Byron walks in the forefront of team, but his behind soldier carries with the hand an oil lamp in having the situation of bright magic crystal stone, the illumination function of oil lamp is not quite big, it main function is when periphery the oxygen deficit proposed the early warning, as well as, when periphery had the shadow, the unclean thing emergence reacted.
According to order that Gawain issues, they penetrated in this ancient mountain ruins, now already the second day in ruins moving, along the way the thing of seeing still not too sweeping change, nothing but is the plan neat and broad to the astonishing corridor and is emptying the room, the construction structure in mountain massif gives the feeling of person from the beginning is very complex, but after exploring some time has then been able to know its rule: This facility obviously aiming at letting the person becomes lost designs.
Thing that however no matter this sees arid, Byron fulfills duty to fulfill responsibility is carrying on the labelling of various plans and rooms of map.
The ray photo of magic crystal stone enters another deep room, Byron and the others arrived at had been labelled for „the third corridor” temporarily the corridor end, the soldiers to stand guard the lineup to go forward, after confirming in the room the security, then supposes the sentry post in the entrance: They prepare to take a short break here.
Carries on exploration when dark ancient ruins is the matter that quite loses the physical strength, walks the stamina consumption is not anything, but in the darkness tried to find out that actually quite tests the spirit of person. The soldier of this bring is the experience rich will excellent veteran, but still needs to rest to walk promptly.
After investigation excessively hazard factor, soldiers then pitch camp in the open area of room corner, all around they place the magic crystal stone provide the illumination, afterward pulls out the respective dry rations and potable water, makes the best use of the time to eat food to supplement stamina, Byron sits by together the magic crystal stone, taking advantage is looking at the map on hand luminously.
On this handpainted map is labelling at present already has explored the region, because the corridor and room are very orderly, the map also appears is very concise easy to understand, although the three-dimensional facility has created certain trouble to the draw map, so long as drew each plane alone on the paper is also not the issue.
Byron of mercenary family background has a familiar task and handles it with ease.
„Sir, this as if anything does not have,” a veteran said in side, „useful thing was evacuated.”
„Valuable thing often in a deeper place,” Byron replied, and was pointing at one on map, „according to the beforehand rule, here should to the next big steps, later walk toward here.”
„Yes.”
Byron returns the attention to map on, and swept one that just to be turned on the oil lamp of chimney at will, the bright flame well was still burning, and shivered because of the breeze gently.
wait a moment...... Wind?
Wind that which in mountain of entire blockade in ruins comes? Won't the well ventilated passageway form such big air current?
The vigilance that the mercenary time trains makes Byron not let off this detail, he closes the map immediately, induced really to have the wind with the saliva getting wet finger earnestly.
„Here has the air current,” he reminds immediately, „selects several lamps again, looks separately, this room should more than one access.”
The soldiers go into action immediately, starts to seek for the secret door and mechanism/organization in room, quick, they have then discovered exceptionally the place.
In the end of room, on a wall has the obvious rectangle to be hollow, if shape front door, but by after the hollow region piles up one pile of decayed junks that is being the millenniums make decent the wood/blockhead rack and steel waste material.
Before the room the ray was dim, moreover this ruins himself everywhere can see that similar wall was hollow and after the junks pile mostly was to demolish the equipment , the trace soldiers who left behind from the start have therefore not paid attention to these things.
But this place has the air current to blow, it is passing with the outside obviously.
Byron commanded the soldier to eliminate the junks of these stacks, finally revealed one -and-a-half to install underground the metal in wall, that was a root diameter is less than half meter circular cylinder, was vertical to the ground, had half to bury in the wall, but exposition the part was proliferating the complex pattern, its upper half was a downward inclined plane: Obviously cannot treat as to put aside the goods the floor.
„What thing is this?” A soldier looks at that metal column curiously, on the face is having the tense look, „should not be the trap......”
„No,” Byron shook the head, simultaneously is recalling the Gawain confession to own some general knowledge, „according to the view of Sir Duke, the goods of this outward appearance usually such uses......”
Was saying, he while has placed in the hand the inclined plane of that metal peak, but the latter did not respond.
On the Byron face is not awkward: „Naturally, in this most things were unusable, the age for a long time will be after all bad, this was the general knowledge.”
A soldier has proposed one carelessly: „Sir, have you picked trying the glove?”
Byron face is not red, and also stared this big end of soldier one eyes: „You try!”
The opposite also worthily is the soldier who Byron leads, was impolite, casts off the glove then to study the Byron appearance to place in that incline the hand.
The next second, that metal surface complicated pattern slightly is then bright, where simultaneously has the slight vibration never to know transmits, while on that soldier face shows the astonished look, Byron then heard in that metal to transmit some distortions, moreover exceptionally stereotypical sound: „Examination...... Sample tester...... Stabilization period...... The approval passes. Is opening the isolation gate......”
Afterward along with the ancient mechanism/organization revolution sound, on the wall that place hollow place shrinks unexpectedly really inward, before and has revealed one, channel that hidden!
All people look at each other in blank dismay, dumbfounded.
„I...... My anything has not done,” soldier hurries to receive the hand, a face tight and not handles, „you look.”
After Byron looked at a front door, that dark channel, casts off own glove suddenly, places in the hand that metal incline.
The metal installment has shone similarly, and quick spreads the old-fashioned distorted from inside the sound: „Examination...... Sample tester...... Stabilization period...... The approval passes, isolates the gate to be at the opening condition.”
„Am I also good?” Byron is dumbfounded, knit the brows, has selected a soldier casually, „you try!”
This soldier follows the example also places in that installment the hand, the matter that later has is completely same: The metal installment shines, and broadcasts a sound from inside, informs news that the approval adopts.
Indeed as long as is puts to be able the hand personally through the test.
„Goes bad after mostly......” linked has been testing two soldiers, Byron slightly relaxed, „after all such ancient thing.”
A soldier asked cautiously: „Sir, in that we also......”
„Goes to have a look,” on the Byron face was still discrete, but in the heart jumped for joy slightly, once the wave spread former mercenary that Southern Region size ruins has not overturned a vehicle as one, he as if smelled the good thing flavor, „looked was so long, finally a little discovered!”
......
ruins while Byron one line of unceasing thorough mountains, a new guest simultaneously was also stepping the Cecil Family new territory.
This is a stature graceful young woman, she does not wear the Ainz style fine gauze women's clothing, the long hair hangs loose after behind, a light purple veil has blocked from her facial features, only leaves behind pair of bright and nimble and resourceful pupil reveal outside, she like this naturally entered the Cecil territory, across the sentry post of soldier, across the camp now is the small town the front door, goes through in neat log cabins.
Cecil citizen come and go by her busily, but everyone looks but not see it.
Wears the female of veil only naturally to walk, observes this to only have the town of several months of history eyeful curiously theoretically. These systematic log cabins in other place could be the qualified cities construction after all in the most places of this time, the housing conditions of common people could not even have compared this room, but in fact these log cabins were still obvious „transition construction”, because by the town main road, can see everywhere is carrying on the demolition reconstruction the house, these houses have rammed the ground, and constructed with the bricks, obviously was this small town next generation of houses.
The unusual noise never the distant place transmits, wears the female of veil to go following the prestige, discovered that broadcasts the sound the direction is a piece emits the mist and dust the workshop, she walked curiously, opens the door frankly and uprightly, after seeing inside scene dumbfounded.
Originally here is burns the bricks the place, but in the courtyard central obstructing canopy is actually putting two grotesque machines, a machine has obvious mana to respond, it is revolving under lead of some type of magic mechanism/organization, and with powerful revolution axis actuation with its connected another machine, but that machine unceasingly will suppress the neat firm unfired brick as the silt mixture of raw material, these two machine not only efficiencies are astonishing, moreover does not need obviously the complex control: The common people of two wear homespun cloth clothing look by the machine, but more people in being busy installing the animal-drawn cart the unfired brick of that fast formation, pushes to courtyard another side that is arranging neatly, compared with ordinary brick kiln big in enough several rows of dry kilns.
That two large-scale magic installments...... Is what?
Magic mechanism/organization? However controls their mage? Who is pouring into mana to them? Who is adjusting their mana flowing? Who is controlling their speed and start and stop?
Difficult to be inadequate is that two from top to bottom mana response no average people?!
Said...... This place can induce to mana probably everywhere responded, this is really strange, is very difficult to be inadequate this stretch of territory entire to construct on mana focus?
Wears the female of veil to wrinkle the attractive brow, she wants to go to disassemble very much to have a look that two machines, but must make such action out of the ordinary, perhaps wise sneaks or the psychological suggestion technique will expire, therefore she can only shake the head regrettably, withdraws from the courtyard to close the gate.
But at this moment, seemingly a little familiar, the sporty sound behind conveys from her suddenly: „! Which are you?!”
