 However, the overall impression is that it is dirty.

 <>, but the amount of light is somewhat unreliable.

 It appeared to be quite old.

 In addition, it seemed to be poorly maintained.



Is this where we're going?

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



At least part of it.



 I listen closely, but I don't hear anything.

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



 There's no sound of any equipment working, no golems or anything like that.



Is this facility still alive?

I don't know. As before, I want a two man cell to search the hall.

Understood, sir.

 The Shinobi squads split up and began to investigate, but the hall was visibly empty, and they quickly came to the conclusion that there was nothing to be found there.



...... then, the remaining target for investigation is ......

It's probably just over that passageway.

 The corridor beyond that was not completely dark ......, but it was quite dark. I had to turn on the night vision function to see if it was safe.



Let's go carefully.

Yes, sir!



 The ten men move toward the back of the passageway, looking ahead, left, right, up, and down.

 The aisle is about 3 meters wide and the same height as the hall. The material is stone, just like the hall.

 The passage ended after about 30 meters and led to a small room.

 The room was empty. It is only .......

This is .......

There's a magic circle on the floor.

It's still ...... alive.



 The shinobi who examined the shifting magic circle reports.

So it's possible that someone has been in and out of this room.

That's what I'm thinking. There's no dust on the floor. The floors must be cleaned regularly.

 As if to confirm his words, something appeared in the small room.

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





What is that?

It appears to be a golem that specializes in cleaning.

 Its body is a flattened cylinder. It has six legs like an insect, which it moves around dexterously.

 The bottom of the cylinder has an intake port through which it seems to suck in dust.

I've never heard of this type.

No, I don't. It's not like any of the originals that we know of.

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



That doesn't mean it's not one of the originals.



 In that sense, this < is an important key to finding out the identity of the creator of this facility, or at least the person who maintains it.

 For a while, the Shinobi Unit was dedicated to observation.

 After about 10 minutes, the six-legged golem left the small room, apparently having finished cleaning.

The reason for not sweeping the floor is probably so as not to wear out the magic circle engraved on the floor.

He seemed to be careful not to scrape the floor with his footsteps.

The soles of the feet seem to be made of a soft material, so there was no footstep noise.

 And so on. All of them are sent to the old man.

Now, let's go to the passage where the cleaning golem left.



 It was the only opening other than the one we came to.

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





 The passage was also about 3 meters wide and the same height. The material was the same stone.

 But this time, it took about 10 meters to reach the next small room.

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





No sign of the cleaning golem.

It's probably already finished cleaning this room, and has gone to another room, or is on standby.

Then let's investigate this room.



 This room is very different from the others.

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



 There were several magic tools and magi-machines in this room.



...... This is not the technology of the .

I agree.

Perhaps ......

...... from the old kingdom of Dinar, I'd guess.

 The old man has also given his opinion.

at the end of the . It is thought that it was reactivated by the recovery of the free-magic element (ether) concentration. I will refrain from further speculation since we do not have enough information yet. Please continue your investigation.

Roger that.

 The more we investigate, the more it becomes clear that this facility was built with technology from the former Kingdom of Dinar.



The Northerners, as they were called at the time, naturally invaded from the north and moved south, correct?

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


Of course they did.

Then why would they build a facility like this one, so to speak, in the far south?

We have no way of knowing what people were thinking at the time.

 But the old man had a theory about that.

I see.


Yes, sir.

 Once again, the Shinobi Unit began their investigation.


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


Well, there is no evidence that it is definitely from the former Dinar Kingdom.

I'm 99% sure that it's not from the Origin.

Well, there's no mention of the old Dinaric Kingdom.

No, it does.

What?

A book bearing the sigil of the Kingdom of Dinar.

 The book has a black leather cover, with golden letters and the coat of arms of on it.
