Chapter 137 – Chapter 24: Torrent 3
The ruin Silvan discovered was located deep inside a dense forest Karamis, the area Silvan defended, was located to the south-east of the Demon World and was in contact with the Great Desert, one of the buffer zones to the Huested, the Great Desert was an incredibly large desert area Despite its proxietation due to the abnoric lines in the Deon flely for an hour or two before landing in an open area in the ement of the trees looked unnatural, like it was an artificially created landing point
“Beyond that is the entrance to the ruins It was so well hidden that I wouldn’t have found it if it wasn’t for a coincidence”
Sepira said as she spread out the stairs for descending froon Silvan had already juazing at Silvan’s back
Sepira laughed aardly
“Someone was hit by a creature and fell to the entrance of the ruins It was a deep well-like entrance”
It was a fun story, but Felicia thought otherwise She frowned and asked,
“That person, are they okay?”
“Yes, relatively Their shoulders and neck are stiff though”
Sepira laughed aardly again, and Felicia understood why Sepira’s ears were red throughout the story
‘No, she didn’t want to talk about this in the first place’
When she thought about it, the story shouldn’t be ah soon disappeared
At that moment, the staircase was opened co down and hurried to catch up with Silvan Once she arrived at the entrance, she understood why Sepira emphasized it had been an accident
The entrance to the ruin was hidden very well No, if she had coht it was just a deep pit
A circular passage with a diameter of approximately 15 meters was drilled vertically akin to a well The earth was bumpy, like it had been for the entrance
Felicia knelt on the edge and looked inside the hole while sniffing it There was a faint but clear scent A place where ood sic power”
That wasn’t all There was a soft glow inside the deep hole, and the light was leaking from the inside
As Felicia looked carefully, Silvan quickly held out a hand
“Now, Felicia Please ehed while Felicia, who pulled back reflexively, cast a ic spell
“Levitation”
Felicia dropped down slowly into the hole, while Silvan’s shoulders sagged with disappointe was visible It was a very old passage, but it gave off an artificial feel
After the two of them went down, Sepira, Delia and the five crewruins with a se nuhts in the passage One was a diht which seeht co
It was very pretty, but it was hard to proceed with the exploration with this lighting Felicia pulled out a stick with a brilliant light at the end of it which she had prepared in advance They were in a large crypt which re tribe subjugation
Silvan’s group had already explored the first floor, so they hurried on After arriving at a place which was like a central hall, the unknown characters Sepira had mentioned were revealed for the first time
“Indeed, they really are like the characters I saw Maybe… the legend ht be true?”
Felicia said as she looked at the letters carved on the high ceilings, floor and walls The confused Sepira asked,
“Your Highness, the legend?”
As always, curious questions pleased Felicia, and she responded by spreading her knowledge
“After going to Kaltein’s lair last time, I did some research However, I didn’t have tiht”
It wasn’t just Shutra who had investigated after returning to the De’s Palace
Felicia looked at the characters and said again,
“In fact, this wasn’t soh research It is a story I picked up while investigating ruins”
There was a question hed and asked Sepira a new question,
“Sepira, how ’s Palace?”
“I knoas created 500 years ago”
This year was obviously Year 512
Felicia stretched and said,
“Yes, only 500 years Before that, the Era of Struggle was only approxile referred to the ti, when all species had been at ith each other The Demon World of that time was no different than as beyond the limit line Every day, a cruel war occurred
“Then what type of civilization was there in the old days?”
Before the Era of Struggle—
The distant past before the Thunderdoom Fortress was built…
“We don’t know No o, it is only up to 6,000~7,000 years It isn’t an exaggeration to say we don’t know much about the civilizations and how the species lived before that ti time for the dark elves Sepira counted in her head for a while before her long ears extended
“Your Highness, if it was 7,000 years ago… wouldn’t it have been hard to have a proper civilization?”
The dark elves had also been different 7,000 years ago, and they had been primitive in many ways
Felicia nodded
“The majority of people think like that They think it was a tiht in tribal units But I don’t think so If there hadn’t been a flourishing civilization in those days, we shouldn’t be able to find their traces after they have long since perished”
It was o Maybe it was a past that went back even enous species Although there is little evidence, I think it makes sense”
Felicia said with a sraved on the floor
“Your Highness, do these characters belong to the indigenous species?”
“Let’s see, should we find out froh
