　Tulu had discovered the ruins, so Gina and the others were escorted by Dine, and we came to check out the ruins. The ruins were almost completely buried in the ground, and it looked like it was going to be a big project, not like the excavation we had expected.

　Tulu is removing the soil from around the building, and the soil that was inside the ruins is being taken out together with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, there is an object on the surface of the soil coming out of the building. That must be something different from the soil inside the ruins that Tulu was talking about.

　However, seeing the objects being carried out one after another like a conveyor belt, it seems to me that this is more of an inspection work than a treasure hunt.

　Excavating ancient ruins is supposed to be the royal road of fantasy, but at once it seems like a part-time job, which is a little sad.

"Yuta. I found Belle! Is this a gift?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I'm indulging my sentimentality, Belle picks up something from the dirt and comes swooping toward me with a big smile on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They don't care about conveyor belts or inspection work, so they seem to be having a great time, and I feel like my spirits are lifted just by looking at them. I know, there's no need to think about unnecessary things to lower my spirits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I regain my composure and freeze when I see the treasure that Belle has brought.

"Yuta?"

"...... Well, wait a minute. Sylphy, is this treasure?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't appraise the treasure in the first place. I think it's impossible for me to appraise a find when I can't even recognize an ordinary item on the market.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it is a big jewelry, I can judge how expensive it is, but this is a ...... dish?　It looks like metal, though it is coated with some kind of soil and darkened. It doesn't look like rust, so it's not iron, right?　　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm, I think this is silver. I think it has some value as a metal, but I don't know if I'd call it a treasure."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Silver. I've heard that silver used to be used for tableware to prevent poisoning. Maybe it was used for tableware in the same way in this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a world with mithril, orichalcone, and other fantasy metals, silver is also a metal with a certain value, so let's call it a treasure.

"Belle. It's silver. It's a treasure."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Whoa, Ginny, treasure!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Belle holds up the clay-covered silver plate with both hands and flaps her feet. He looks so happy. Well, I guess he's not so much happy about the silver, but about the sound of treasure. Let's just praise her a lot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll look for more!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Satisfied with all the praise, Belle gently placed the silver plate next to me and flew to the next treasure. She seems to be addicted to treasure hunting.

"Coo!"

　I heard Tamamo's muffled voice and turned around to see her holding something in her mouth that looked like a stick. Behind him were Rain and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's hard for me to check every one of their treasures, but I'm sure they'll be disappointed if I don't check and praise the first one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is this a ...... silver spoon?　If there is a silver plate, there should be a silver spoon. Maybe a complete set of silverware. Would the price go up if it were a set?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You found quite a bit of treasure."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though the building has not yet been fully revealed, treasures have been discovered that could be worth a small mountain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some of the metals, which look like pebbles, have been eroded by rust, but there are also gold ornaments, jewelry, and silverware. We also found mithril and other fantasy metal weapons, armor, and magic tools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was especially surprised that the fantasy metals did not rust or deteriorate, but became shiny after wiping off the dirt. Also, magic stones were found in good condition. It seems that the magic stone is also a material that does not deteriorate over time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right. Considering it's a big building and the number of silverware found, it must have been the house or store of a very wealthy person, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think Sylphy is right too. If so, does this mean that the ruins were destroyed before the rich people had time to escape?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my mind, rich people are well informed and sensitive to danger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Or maybe they escaped with only really valuable treasures. But since we found some bones, it's more likely that they perished before they had time to escape."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, it could be the bones of servants or something. ...... Whether they escaped or not, it doesn't matter now. We may wonder why it was destroyed, but it is enough to know that there are still some treasures of some value.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it would have been better if human bones had not appeared. I had fought skeletons and zombies so much in the land of the dead that I thought I could handle human bones, but the ones that were not demonized were strangely lifelike and scary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't want to see Belle and her friends bringing human bones to me again with such glee. Flare, you know you don't need to bring skulls, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... how many human bones are left to begin with?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess it depends on the environment in which they were buried, but considering how many dinosaur bones have been found, how long can they remain for thousands of years?　If so, there are a lot of human bones ...... from this site, which makes me feel depressed, and I think it is right to throw them to Mr. Viktor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If he also investigates the reason why the site was destroyed, it would kill two birds with one stone since my doubts would be cleared up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The moving earth finally stopped and Tulu flew in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you done?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tulu nodded in response to my question. The excavation of the building was completed. He did not look tired from the exertion, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did you have a good time?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tulu nodded his head again. It looks like he had a good time after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. That's good. Thank you for your hard work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think about it as I thank and praise Tulu. If Tulu is having fun, should we continue excavating the ruins?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it's still heartbreaking to see human bones, even if they were found a long time ago. They may be historically valuable materials, but I wouldn't want to see them again and again if I could.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......If Mr. Viktor can do it, we can ask him to participate in the excavation by chance using spirit techniques. Let's leave the disposal of the human bones to Mr. Viktor and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tulu. Do you know what the inside of the building looks like?　Is it safe to go inside?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a three-story building made of stone and looks sturdy, but some parts of it have collapsed, so I am concerned about its safety.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's pretty rock solid, so ...... are you sure?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I asked Tulu to confirm the safety of the building, he tilted his head and gave me a subtle response. It was an ancient three-story building, so even Tulu, a spirit of the earth, might not have been confident.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With Sylphy, I would be perfectly safe if something happened to me, but there was still a chance that the ruins would be beyond repair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since I'm going to ask for an appraisal anyway, I might as well summon Nomos and have him check it out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A nomos with a slightly troublesome expression was summoned. Probably, he summoned Nomos while he was working on something related to alcoholic beverages. Well, I can't be bothered with Nomos, since he is working on alcohol-related tasks most of the time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I need you to check the safety of those ruins and appraise the treasure there, okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, the ruins of the land of Morion. I found something I've missed."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Huh?　I thought I heard a word that might ruin the romance of history.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Nomos. Do you know about these ruins?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mm. The country was destroyed by floods and mudslides caused by the long rains. There used to be a big town here. There was a royal city at the foot of that mountain, but it was completely engulfed by the mountain. I remember it well because I was there to clean it up."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No wonder Sylphy knew about it, but it seems that Nomos not only knew about it, but was directly involved in it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I was going to ask Mr. Viktor to tell me if he found out anything, so the result should not be any different, but it is a delicate feeling to talk directly to the people concerned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Well, it can't be helped. What was supposed to be a grand historical romance has turned into an old story of a neighborhood grandfather. There's no excitement at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's left to clean up?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I told you before that spirits move when the balance of nature is greatly disturbed. That's it. It's been raining here for a long time and there's no sun. It's gotten so bad that we've been sent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I remember hearing something like that. I remember that we talked about why the spirits don't touch the land of the dead, and that's how it came about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I see. Well, then, if we search in the royal city, will we find the ruins?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The treasures in King's Landing look more impressive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's completely swallowed up, so you'll probably find some treasure if you look for it, but I doubt the ruins will be as beautiful as they are here."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, the royal city was in worse condition. If there are no buildings left, the treasures are scattered and hard to find.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we are in need of money, there is no need for us to go on a hard treasure hunt in our current condition. Let's be satisfied with this town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. Thank you. Can you appraise the building and the treasure for me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure I could find out more about the situation back then if I asked him for more details, but since I'm sure it's not a bright story, let's focus on the objective at hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, yes, of course. Which is ....... It's pretty solidly built. I've reinforced the weak points, so you're safe now. Next is the appraisal. ...... Yuta, the little guys there seem to be concerned about the ruins. I'll appraise them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tulu was right, it was a pretty sturdy building. Still, there were some weak points, so it was right to have Nomos check them out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then Nomos' tsundere burst out. He was blunt, but it was so obvious that he was looking out for Bell and his friends that it made me smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm tempted to keep on grinning at the bearded uncle with the tsundere, but I'm afraid he's going to snap at me, so I'd better go inside the ruins.
