 The old man listened to Golem's story of the past, but there was nothing new in it.

 It was not so different from what he had heard before in the basement of the old capital, Diaa.

 The information other than the past told by the golem seemed to be more useful than that.

"So once the air is inhaled, it is heated to a high temperature, sterilized, cooled, and then exhaled."

 The temperature at this point is about 600 degrees Celsius. Dust and other particles would burn up.

 But metal and stone powders with higher melting points would not work, and the energy efficiency would be too low, Jin felt.

 Colored water flows out of a transparent container, and the time is measured by the way it decreases.

 The container is divided into two parts, and when one part is empty, the other part is full, so that the top and bottom parts can be switched.

 This tool was not so much used for telling time as for elapsed time.

"Did you use it for experiments or cooking or something?"

"Father, it could also be used to measure training time."

 Jin thought that it might have been used as a kitchen timer or a stopwatch.

 Third.

"<>. ...... This composition is duralumin."

 It was an alloy of aluminum, a little copper and magnesium, very close to the alloy called A2017 in modern Japan.

 However, the surface of the golem was thought to have lost some of its shine due to its somewhat poor corrosion resistance.

"It's not anodized, I guess."

 Jin muttered a little out of focus.

 Anodizing is a process that creates an aluminum oxide (alumina) film on the surface. It has a high hardness and protects the material from scratches and corrosion.

"But then, there is no legacy of warp gate technology. ......"

 The old man replied to Jin's muttering.

"I see. ...... Indeed, the technology of the transition gate (warp gate) is ideal for sending in troops."

 The same is true for food and materials.

 In that sense, we should be glad that the warp gate that the Kingdom of Celuloa has redeveloped at the moment is not very energy efficient and is only one step away from being put to practical use.

"If the <> and the <> are established, we will not have to repeat the mistakes of the <>."

 Call it wishful thinking, but Jin could not help but hope that it would be so.

"I also thought that you might have some information about <> Shuki Tsetsi, given the riddle."

"That's some useful information, isn't it?

"Yes, Elena."

 Elena and Donald are pleased with their newfound knowledge.

 Golem asked.

"What?"

 I didn't see any such thing," Donald told him.

"This room was dustier than that one over there, you know? Not a good place to store books, is it?"

 Elena also tells the truth.

"I see. ...... It's the passage of time. It is providence. If time tells me to , then I must obey.

 The golem utters a rather pessimistic line.

Wait, wait. That's a waste of time. I think you could make a great contribution to the world today. ......"

 Donald follows Golem's instructions and changes the settings on the controller.

 Donald is relieved.

Then she said, "Well, Nia..."

"Yes, thank you. I'm Nia. Master, I'm looking forward to working with you."

 Thus, by an unforeseen circumstance, Donald was able to acquire the information golem.

 The guards carried the control unit on their backs.

 The group, including Nia, returned to the ground using the rope ladders that had been reinstalled by the guards.

"The passage of time can change the landscape like this, can't it?"

 Nia, who had checked the situation on the ground, said in an indifferent tone.

"Yes. Nia, is there any other place where we can get more information?"

"Yes. If my information is correct, there should be a laboratory about 50 meters ahead.

 But all I could see was a ruin covered with vines and grass.

 Since Nia was a golem created after the magic war, it was adapted to the current concentration of free magic element (ether) and seemed to work fine.

"Is there anything wrong with it?"

 Donald asked, and Nia shook her head. Such a gesture was a bit human.
