Chapter 62

Led by Ebelheid, we walked through the interior of the Zeshum ruins .

I look left and right as I go, stopping occasionally to look at the carved patterns on the walls .

I still have a vague idea of the structure of what seems to be a sealing ceremony that was carved afterward, but I have no idea what the carved ceremony is for before that .

I lightly tap on the wall of the ruins .

Ebelheid-san, what exactly are these ruins made of?

Its probably the special ore that my ancestors wrought . A technology of the Kingdom of Heaven . Not of the earth .

I see If we dont start analyzing this ore, well never get around to it .

But since its protected by a ward, its not going to be easy to pull it off .

Im sure Ill be able to make a big hole in it if Im serious about shooting my magic at it, but it will be difficult to control its power .

Its a good idea to be able to use it to make a big hole in the walls of the ruins .

Destroying the ruins is also quite awkward .

Besides, one wrong move and you could be buried alive .

If its a certain level of seal, Im confident that I can forcefully smash it, but I want to make it a last resort .

If only there was a piece of it somewhere . its too clean to be 2000 years old .

Its too well preserved . so this is the power of the seal .

If only the World Tree had been preserved in such a tight ward like this . yeah, well, if it had been, I wouldnt have been able to buy it .

Theres no need for that . Im not here to figure out the magic formula of the ruins . Im here to break the sealing formula .

Maybe so but it might give you an idea of what to do

I wont attend to your personal interests . You were hired by me, Abel .

Hes stubborn and smart .

Hes a nasty old man .

Somehow, hes very unpleasant . Youve half forced him to pull us in, you dont have to deny it from your head like that

Mea comes in for an earful .

No, Ebelheid-san was right earlier . The connection between the sealing technique and the existing technique is thin . Its more like a form of sealing the entire ruin rather than sealing the function of the magic formula of the ruins . If we can even trace the superficial nature of the ore, that would be enough . Its certainly one approach, but there are plenty of other things to prioritize . That was a strong statement I made earlier to establish a name for digging into my interests as a priority to investigate .

Its unfortunate that they saw through my intentions and rejected my proposal, but I wasnt offended by it either .

There werent many people who could talk about magic on an equal footing, so I was kicked out of the hook in an instant, and I was even rather a bit excited about it .

I, I see . Im sorry for interrupting you somewhat halfway .

Oh, so you thought of testing me .

Ebelheid interrupted the conversation .

She was speaking in a whisper, but apparently her voice had gotten louder in the middle of the conversation .

Not good .

As I recall, before entering the ruins, Ebelheid was furious with Wegener saying, You are not to measure me with the likes of you! .

Ive always heard that elves have a lot of pride .

My statement could be taken as a low opinion of Ebelheid .

We are now forced to enter the ruins under the authority of Ebelheid .

If hes put in a bad mood, we could be thrown out at once .

No, no, I dont mean to do that, or .

Kukkukku, now youve said it, you brat .

Ebelheid said happily, hiding his mouth and quickening his stride slightly .

Apparently, we didnt put him in a bad mood .

I let out a breath of relief .

Ive never seen Ebelheid-samas face like that before . He was a difficult person and always seemed to be angry . . No, I was saved, too . I really thought he was going to leave like that .

One of the survey team comes up to me .

He was one of the people who had stopped the adventurers from trying to enter the ruins .

Um, I think I heard his name

Oh! Am I right? Did you get mad at me for being right?

Ill beat you to death!

Calm down, Allen . My lord knows that these type of people will come out!

Ahh, Allen-san

He was the one who was furious at being called a male prostitute .

W, Whats wrong with you, you know, those pitying eyes? Is there something on my face?

No, I just thought you had it rough

Wawawa, nono, people like that are common . I dont pay attention to them .

I think he was pretty angry about that

He said he was going to beat him to death, didnt he?

Why dont we take a walk around here, Ebelheid-dono?

Wegener, who was walking behind him, calls out to Ebelheid .

Youve been moving around for a while now and havent been able to do anything about it . This is the kind of thing where you need to make a steady reference . After talking so loudly to me, this is the state of affairs

Wegener chuckles as he scratches his head .

What is this guy talking about?

Ebelheids eyes narrowed that looks like Hes being annoying and he quickly turned his head forward .

Ha! Youll get yourself into trouble if you hurry, oh Ebelheid-dono .

Im sorry, but the wall sealing technique is just to maintain the quality of the effect within the range . There should be a great original technique .

I interrupt, and Wegener glares at me .

H, how do you know that without even looking at it properly! Dont just say careless things!

As of now, the sealing formula here itself isnt much different in construction from that of the Peeg tribe, famous for their wards . The surface may be different, but the essence is the same .

T-, that cant be but, but

Oh, Im surprised you noticed that . Perhaps my ancestors who came down to earth had something to do with the Peeg tribe . I commend you for recognizing it at first sight .

Ebelheid lets out an exclamation .

Wegener scoffs as he hears this and scoffs back .

young man, do not be in a good mood .

Halfway through, I turn around and he glares at me unpleasantly .

I think Ive been targeted by a weird person .

You are more than I imagined . You were a lucky find .

Ebelheid says, hiding the smile on his mouth with his hand .

I could see the corners of his mouth hanging up through his hands . This persons laughing face, its freaking scary .

Once we have made some progress in analyzing the sealing formula, we will return to the city to make up for the knowledge we lack and the tools we need . Follow me there, too . No, I need your help when I finish analyzing the ruins . Be my right-hand man . I promise you better treatment than any other nobleman out there .

I feel like Im getting a weird look here too .

It came out big, but does this guy have that much money or something?

But working for Ebelheid might not be so bad .

I think I can learn a lot from him .

Most importantly, our talks match .

Well, Ill give it some thought

I felt eyes on me and turned around to see Mea staring sadly at my back .

When our eyes met, I gently turned my face away .

Well, Id like to avoid going out too much as long as possible .

Meas face glows with a puff .

Because she doesnt say it in words, I feel the extra pressure .

Shes usually cheerful, but shes not the kind of girl to come interfere at a time like this, is she?

For now, lets pay off the debt quickly .

If this is the case, Im going to get into the habit of looking at Meas face .
