663 Episode 663: Curiosity and Concerns.txt




 Alexia asked me to do something completely unexpected and I was taken aback.

 It's a story that even feels nostalgic now.

 Right after Hild was dispatched from the rainbow scale knights, I was requested by Hild to investigate the Right Eye of Wisdom.

 Our souls were dragged into what seemed to be the spiritual world that existed inside the Right Eye, and we were unable to even investigate due to sabotage by the High Elf's Ail.

 Moreover, although I was able to fight off the interference, I ended up being blocked by Eir's hands from investigating again.

"Anyway, it wasn't me who investigated the 'right eye' at that time, it was Hild.
'Oh, I see. Then I shall have to enlist the help of Lord Hild.
...... And, you know, if I were to go through it again now, do you think you could expect any results?

 The reason why Eir sealed the memory of the Right Eye was because there was knowledge lying there that we shouldn't know.

 That High Elf had claimed that it was good to maintain the world that Alfazul had once protected, and in order to do so, it was necessary to put a seal on the Right Eye.

 Ultimately, however, Ail's seal was lifted by the Demon King Gandalf.

 When it was decided to form an alliance against Agat Ram, Gandalf told the secrets of ancient magical civilization and modern humanity and declared that there was no longer a need to seal the memory of the Right Eye.

 This made it possible to resume the investigation of the Right Eye of Wisdom - but in the end, no one had ever suggested that the Right Eye be examined again until now.

 The reason was almost certainly because everyone was getting ready for the battle with Agart Ram: .......

'There is! It's a big ant! I don't know what you heard at the Demon King's Castle, but if the information isn't coming down to us, then it's not about crafting or magic, is it? If it was, I'm pretty sure they would have asked me to 'analyze it for you guys'.
Mu......, that's probably true, but...
And besides, for us it's enough to see the streets of an ancient magical civilization. There's a lot to be gained just by observing a civilization with a high level of technology.

 Next to Alexia, who speaks powerfully, Noir is shaking his head repeatedly, cooing.

 This area should be called the perspective of a skillful engineer or wizard.

 Even if you see the same scenery, if your position is different, you will find different things.

 It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're looking at it.

'It's true that they didn't recreate the inhabitants, but they did have vehicles and such, didn't they? The infrastructure was recreated as well, wasn't it? Then that will be enough!

 Alexia is getting closer and closer in excitement.

 Noir's also looks at Alexia from behind with a gaze that is much more enthusiastic than usual.

''As long as the preparations for the raiding operation don't get delayed, I guess.
Then it's not a problem. I've designed everything, and I'm having the union make a prototype. I won't be doing anything for a while until it's ready.

 I see, it's hard to find a reason to refuse.

 As usual, Alexia's work is superb, and she seems to be working with plenty of time to spare, without sticking around until the last minute to eat bubbles on the deadline.

'...... Okay, I get it. I'll ask Hild to schedule it from you. Maybe if I ask him, he'll agree to it in two words.
'Of course! Thank you, Mr. Luke!

 Alexia and Noir beat their hands together with a joyful smile.

 The former is a big smile and the latter a subdued smile, but both seem to be equally pleased.

 For now, it's agreed that it's up to you and Hild to reconcile your plans, and the two of you return to the shop in a good mood.

 As a result, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go back to the store.

'Didn't you seem strangely reluctant to do anything? I had the impression you'd agree with me in two words.
'You heard me. Well, ...... it's a bit of a place to be.

 The secret of humanity that the Demon King Gandalf told us has been disclosed to only a very limited number of people so far, and it will be revealed gradually in the future as the situation unfolds.

 If that secret is hidden in the spirit world of the example, it is a bit risky to bring Noir and Alexia into it.

 However, that doesn't make it a worthwhile proposition to refuse them.

 If there is something to be gained from the memories of the ancient magical civilization, as the two of them claimed, then it could be an opportunity to greatly develop modern civilization.

 But the problem is not only that: .......

'...... Perhaps, by any chance, it could get nasty again because of the Alpha-Zulu connection. Honestly, that's my main concern.
