Chapter 61

“It’s looking kind of rough out there . It looks like it’s about time to call it a day . ”

Would the survey team drop the investigation and still keep a lookout?

He said something like starting over from gathering personnel .

If it was going to take that long, they wouldn’t go to the trouble of allocating personnel .

If all the survey team will return, then they can enter the ruins as they please .

“Hmm…… . But the people on the survey team, they don’t seem to have anything particularly unusual with them . You didn’t find anything inside, did you?”

“Maybe they didn’t get in to see what was going on . ”

As I recall, there’s a treasure called the Arrow of G.o.d .

The theory is that the treasure is hidden deep within the ruins .

The reason why no one has been able to enter the ruins of Zeshum for a long time is because no one has been able to break the sealing art that was applied to the entrance .

Perhaps there is a similar mechanism inside the ruins .

“But if that’s the case, doesn’t it make sense for Mea and the others to enter?”

“But since it’s time to visit, I thought I’d like to take a peek inside to commemorate the occasion . I want to examine the magic on the walls of the ruins a little closer… . Because of the difference in race and era and the characters are unusual but they are still in sync with the spirit language…… If I search for a convenient high basic like technique that I know or something similar to it, I might be able to do a simple a.n.a.lysis . As for me, I’m a bit curious as to which type of technique the old elves used…”

“I, I see… M-Mea is interested too, yeah . ”

Mea awkwardly strikes a follow-up .

Oh no, I can’t help but get carried away when it comes to my favorite field of study .

“Hey, Mea, is Abel always like this? or maybe there’s something bad in the food I brought…”

“…this is normal . ‘I’m having fun now’ if it’s translated . It’s okay because he’s generally been like that since we met . ”

Maizen and Mea are talking in a whisper .

You don’t have to say that much…… . .

I quickly grab my staff and get out of the carriage .

Just as the old elf who was screaming earlier, Ebelheid, was pa.s.sing near our carriage .

Ebelheid stops and looks back at me .

“Ebelheid-sama, you have finally stopped!…… Um, I don’t know if I say it like this…… or shall I say this as an official stance . In the interest of making my lord look good, could you continue the investigation here for three days?

Wegener-sama is a person who has contributed to the Lords.h.i.+p in various ways . It may have been something that displeased Ebelheid-sama…… but please take a look at it a little longer…… We have several weeks’ worth of preparations for the cargo . There is also money for transportation . A one day’s worth of returning dragonfly indicates that it might make the lord unpleasant . ”

One of the investigators begins to convince Ebelheid .

“H-hmph! After all that you’ve said, how can I cooperate with you when you’ve bowed out now… . ”

“The fellow will never amount to anything . I’m not going to waste my time on this Wegener guy . ”

“Wha-wha, Whaaa…!?”

Wegener’s face turned red in anger and he held his head in his hands .

I could see a few more strands of hair falling out of his thin head .

The investigators stop Wegener, who is trying to grab onto Ebelheid, in a panic .

“…… But you can think about leaving a little longer . ”

“Ebelheid-sama, what does that mean…”

An old elf scary old man was walking towards me .

W-what? is there a misunderstanding?

I move to the right and Ebelheid’s eyes follow me .

He’s definitely coming towards me .

Maizen jumped off the carriage and stood in front of me .

“Yes?’ As a semi-E-cla.s.s adventurer, something you want… . ”

“You’re in the way . ”

Ebelheid pushed Maizen away gingerly .

“You are Marren, aren’t you? I heard that you were long dead, but it was a lie after all . ”

This old man is very tall .

190…… is an exaggeration . But he’s definitely at least 180cm tall .

When he stands near me, I can’t help but look up at him .

When I took a step back, Ebelheid took two steps forward .

Close, too close .

“Yes, I am, but…”

“Where did you get that wand? Answer me . ”

Ebelheid asks in a high-pressure manner .

“This is my own work, but…”

It’s a little wand I made from the leftover wood when I carved the World Tree Ortem .

“Ho~…… You made it yourself . Give it to me . ”

He reaches out his hand and I hide it behind my back as quickly as I can .

It’s a cane that I worked so hard to make . I’m not going to say ‘Ah, I see’ and give it him If a stranger says to me to give it to him unilaterally .

“It’s based on a wood with very high magic power . I’m amazed at how beautifully you’ve been able to work it . However, the main aim of that type of wand is a high efficiency, controlling magic power, and gathering spirits is the importance of that thing . Am I right?”

This guy can tell just by looking at the wand for a minute .

That’s what you get for living so long .

“Why, are you out of theory?”

“I’ve never felt that my magic is short of instantaneous power . The only time I almost ran out of magic power was when I was a child . I thought it might be better for my future if I can increase the precision as much as possible and specialize in the experiment rather than the practice . ”

“Ho~, you’re a very confident man . You’re like a fogey who has never seen the sea . But at least you are better than Wegener . You want to enter the ruins, follow me . For your payment, I’ll negotiate with the lord from my way if you are helpful . It won’t be a bad idea . ”

That’s a wish that just come true for me too .

The ruins of Zeshum were built by the elves .

I’m not confident that I can a.n.a.lyze it on my own, but it’s rea.s.suring if an elf who has lived for hundreds of years can tell me a lot about it .

It is likely that the lord will take a large portion of my share, but I’m glad to know that I don’t have to worry about me doing whatever I want and drawing their attention to me .

And if it works, even if we don’t find anything, we might be rewarded if it helps with the investigation .

“Kicking this Wegener to the curb and bringing in a kid like that! I wonder how far and how far you’ll have to go to taunt me with this!”

“Ohh, please calm down, Wegener-sama! At last, Ebelheid-sama has said that he is going to stay!”

The investigators stop Wegener, who is blus.h.i.+ng and barking again .

“Really! You may do as you please . But if this does not produce any results, I will advise my lord to do the same . To Beat that elf out of here!”

Wegener wrinkled his face and thrust his fingertips at Ebelheid .

Ebelheid glared at Wegener like he was interrupting him, then looked at me as if he had quickly lost interest .

“Well then, it’s a pleasure to work with you . The young sorcerer of Marren . ”
