Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 249

 

Northernmost



"The examination of all parties and contacts has been completed."


Ginkei and the doctors who were under its command determined that the damage was minor.


"There was some reddening of the skin, but it was minor. They all suffered minor injuries and will be able to continue their lives."


"I see, thank you for your hard work."


Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.


"Shiro-dono, the disposal of the corpse is finished."


It looks like Rumseil can finally take a breather.


"I feel bad for the fairies."


"Yes, they're all clamoring for sugar as extra pay."


When Ginkei examines Elfriade's data


It turns out that there are beings that are not affected by radiation.


First, dragons.


In the first place, since it is a being that is supposed to fight in outer space, it is natural that countermeasures against cosmic rays are in place.


Next, fairies.


In the first place, fairies are creatures made out of masses of mana.


Therefore, they are not bound by the common sense of organic life.


Then there is the synthetic dragon, Dranmeira.


These dragons, which are a failure of dragons, can survive even in high concentrations, although there are differences among individual dragons.


Of course that includes me who is type C


That's why


"I can't go with you?"


Wince looks displeased


To which Ginkei counters


"Impossible. Wince Edgeworth is just a human who has only become immortal and super long-lived. If you head for the ruins, you will surely end up like the bandits."


And with a bonus that you can never die even in that state


"Mother, it's okay. We'll definitely come back!"


We will go to the ruins, just me and Sedona.


"But I never thought we'd be heading for desert ruins in this day and age..."


Reminds me of the old synthetic dragon invasion.


"Rumseil, is the synthetic dragon from back then still alive?"


"It's still wriggling around. Can you say that it is still alive?"


The synthetic dragon at that time was too unpleasant, so it was cut into pieces and buried.


However, since it is also a material for refining orichalcum, it is sometimes dug up by a few people.


"I'd be more comfortable if we turned everything into Orichalcum, but..."


"I hear it's very costly and time-consuming."


"If we refined every piece of meat at once, we'd be on the verge of economic collapse."


"That much, huh..."


According to Sermus, it is scheduled to be refined over 200 years.


"Shiro-sama! I have an urgent report!"


"Eh, what happened again?"


A city guard came running in, out of breath.


"T-there's a transmission from the imperial capital... it wants you to come back there immediately. This is an order from His Majesty the Emperor!"


"What is it this time..."




--------------------




"Giran!"


"Shiro, you're back."


The locomotive is now troublesome.


So Wince and I got on Sedona first and returned to the Imperial City.


"Is it urgent?"


"Maybe."


"You're not making any sense."


"Shiro, your favorite fish sauce ingredient. Do you know where the fish can be caught?"


"I heard they used to farm it in the sea, and now they farm it in the bay that was created during the collapse?"


"Do you know where that is?"


"In the northernmost part of the continent?"


"Something terrible happened in a fishing village there."


"What kind?"


"A pillar of water rose from the sea, further north than the continent."


"A pillar of water? How high?"


"Higher than the clouds, I'm told."


"…You're kidding, right?"


Isn't it 2 km even if the altitude of the clouds is low?


"Did they report any kind of clouds?"


"I don't know. They said all the clouds in the vicinity were blown away."


"Blown away, a shock wave... Is there any damage to the fishing village?"


"Glass used in the fishing village was broken. There were some injuries from that, but nothing major."


"And?"


"When the water column subsided, a mountain appeared."


"...I'm sorry, I don't understand."


"Don't worry. I don't understand either."


Eh? Did an underwater volcano erupt?


"Another place at the same time. I got a transmission from Suitka."


"What did it say?"


"Large numbers of wyverns flew away from the mountains where there were no people. Towards that mountain."


"Wyverns... huh..."


I guess we'll have to investigate the ruins later.


Clearly, this one looks more dangerous.


"Emperor Giran"


Suddenly Sedona joins the conversation


"That north side investigation. I'll take care of it."


"Are you sure?"


It's not okay


We don't even know what's going to happen.


"Father, investigate the ruins with Ginkei."


"No, you can't."


"It's okay. I can feel it somehow."


There is no anxiety in that expression


"I have to go to that place"


"………"


"Please, Father. Let me go."


"Nnnnnnn~ Wince, please."


"You're overprotective. Father Shiro."


Shut up.


What's wrong with worrying about your family!


"And while we're at it, let's get Yukikaze and the airship out of there too. Tenrei..."


"She's away, though."


"She's away."


I'm sure she'll cry later
