"Old man, were you sure that was the right thing to do?"
Jin, who was watching the exchange between Marikka D and < on Horai Island, asked.

"Hmm?"

Jin agreed with the old man's explanation and decided to wait and see what would happen.

Mmm. This suggests that the room hasn't been cleaned in a hundred years or so.

That's the only way.
Normally, the room with the transfer magic circle would be filled with several golems, but the fact that they were not there, they thought, must mean that something unusual is going on.

Knowledge is useless, since the structures in the base are all different from 1 to 3.
But I thought this was a base specialized in production.

Yes. But it's too quiet for that.
That's for sure.
This land would have been suitable for mining as well.

But the fact that we can't even hear the sound of digging proves that something was going on, he said.

Let's go to the bottom first.
Oh, yes.

So, the two of them went for the deeper part of the base.

They continue down the corridor and find a fire escape that leads down to the base, where they confirm that the door is locked.

Locked fire escape?
...... The most likely explanation is an intrusion by a foreign enemy, but I didn't see anything that looked like it.

The mystery only deepens.
The two of them went down the fire escape cautiously.

Hmm. But most of them are ethereal luminaries.

Hydrogen sulfide.
About 5 meters down the stairs from where the warning light was illuminated, a strange smell began to permeate the air.

Hydrogen sulfide is a volcanic gas, after all?
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
I don't think a mining golem would be rendered inoperable by that much gas.
No, mithril silver is not very resistant unless it is treated on the surface.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Mithril silver also reacts with sulfur to form silver sulfide, which is a poor conductor of electricity as well as magic.

But that won't stop the golem.
That's right.

Basically, the mining golem is airtight and watertight. They are not affected by gases or spring water.

Then there must be another reason why it stopped.
That's what we have to find out.

The two bodies then proceeded to carefully descend the staircase.

(...... hydrogen sulfide is increasing...)
Mm-hmm. But I don't think this is the direct cause of the anomaly.

The concentration is not high enough to have an immediate effect on the human body.
But the fact that these gases are floating around without being purified is more problematic.

Is the air conditioning in the lower levels not working?
That's all I can think of.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
But since there are no humans in the area anymore, a little bit of gas shouldn't be enough to stop the base from functioning.
There must be something more.

We have to find it.
Mmm.

The two more bodies descended the fire escape and reached the bottom level.
This is probably where they will find the brain of the controlling magician.

Hmm. The concentration of ...... gas is still acceptable.
Hydrogen sulfide, when very thin, smells like rotten ...... eggs.

It is heavier than air and soluble in water.
Covering your nose and mouth with a wet handkerchief can lessen the effect for a short time (the best thing is to stay away from it).

However, no debris of any kind could be found.
I thought there might have been a battle between golems.

If so, it means that they cleaned up the mess.
Instead of solving the mystery, it has deepened it.

The two bodies, observing their surroundings, finally arrived at the room where the "brain of the control magician" was supposed to be located.
Here, the two close the distance between them and investigate the door and its surroundings.
