Chapter 53 – 52. Elven Ruins – Library of Records

* * *

I arrived at the portal of the historic site in Gangnam, Seoul.

“The explanation is over. When using this ticket, you can work in the Elf Ruins for 10 days. Would you like to enter the elven ruins?”

To say it twice is nagging.
I handed over the ticket to the guide who explained the ruins for a while.

“Yes.”
“I checked my ticket. I hope you have a good time.”

Following the guidance of the guide, as we entered the portal, a huge historical site caught our eye.
There are many buildings similar to medieval Europe, but most of them are in ruins.
It’s natural since it’s a historic site, but if the elven kingdom hadn’t collapsed, it was originally a space that would have been Reina’s hometown.

“Wow, this is the elven ruins.”

I only read the novel, but seeing it in person is amazing.
The destroyed ruins were the ruins of the country of the elves.
The elves who lived in the forest long ago finally defeated the demon lord and established the country of the elves, escaping from life in the forest, according to the guidebook of the ruins.

“But there are really few people.”
“It’s boring.”
“Even Eunha Yoo! It’s too much!”

Rayna gets angry.
No, it’s a problem because it’s really boring. If you really want to be excited just by looking at it, a roller coaster is perfect.

“But what if a dense slug were added to this boring place?”
“Not this time!”

I sneaked my hand between Reina’s crotch and slashed it very hard.
I felt embarrassed that I had come to the ruins for Reina to do this.

“Sheesh!”
“No, it wasn’t like that before. Why, without even trying.”

Certainly, it might have been before the awakening. I don’t like getting hit by a guy, but should I rub it? May have thought
But that’s just the past.

“That’s right, Reina wants to eat.”

You wouldn’t be able to call yourself a lesbian if you stayed still after seeing such a lewd and demanding body. It is Reina’s body that angers both males and females at the same time.
Of course, what I want to do now is a joke.
Due to Dark Elf Reina, I am satisfied enough now.
Rather, I should be fully prepared when I think of Choi Si-woo, a corrupted female who will attack me later.

“Haa, but our time and place are covered. I’ll do anything when I get back. I want to feel the breath of my ancestors here.”
“I can make you feel real.”
“Yes? If I say something strange again, will I really stop rubbing it?”

Reina clearly misunderstood something with her angry tone.
In the first place, the Elf Ruins event was going beyond time and space to the Elven Kingdom. I can’t help but feel the breath

“Both of them go there.”
“This is all because of Yoo Eun-ha!”

Reina points a finger at me and sighs.
No, I’ve been sticking with it until now.

“No, you who can’t just refuse are also a problem.”

Yoo-jung, who had been watching quietly, argued with Reina with a face blinded by jealousy.
Should I make this one less appealing?

“Did Yujeong Lee say I was Yobai in Japanese at night? I was going to do that.”
“Ah. Is that okay?”

Lee Yoo-jung blushed at the words she said casually and went inside the ruins first.
Well, one important thing. Lee Yu-jeong did not refuse to say that I would do Yo-bai.
That’s just what I said. I really feel like I have to do it.
That’s how I entered the ruins.

“This must be part of the ruins.”
“I guess so. I heard that the elven kingdom is the size of South Korea according to books. It’s a pity that you can only see a part of it.”

In fantasy world view comics and games, the countries are only at the level of some city, but it seems that the elven kingdom was a considerable size from the description.
Oh, it’s not that South Korea is big. From a fantasy world perspective, it was said that the kingdom of elves divided the continent with the most popular empire of the time, so it was based on that logic.

“Well. Is that a restricted area over there?”
“There was nothing to see even if I went in. I just blocked the deal because I thought it would collapse if the structure of the building went wrong.”

It was a building that looked like it would collapse as soon as you entered it.
It feels like a temple, but he said that there is nothing in the original work.
Originally, Choi Si-woo entered and ran into an event. Actually, Siwoo Choi remains in Songdo, so I have to take care of everything now.

“Okay. Then you can solve it by force, right? If you take it all away.”

Reina pretended to remove her remains with her hands and bowed her head.

“The ruins are worth just in part. It should be preserved and studied as it is. You can’t ruin that or something.”

I wonder if there is a need to care so much about the ruins of other worlds. Still, it’s worth noting that it’s an ‘elf’.
A long time ago, elves were a race that only appeared in novels, cartoons, and anime. Of course, from the point of view of the people, it must have been quite an attractive ruin, and the descendants of humans of mixed blood. Elves are important.

“Why is it so complicated?”
“That’s not even an entrance in the first place. We have somewhere else to go.”

I took the two of them and turned from the collapsed building entrance and entered the side of the building.
At first glance, it seems like a place where Iljin girls would grab a girl passing by while chewing gum. If you look at the description of the novel, it is definitely here.

“What do you mean?”
“The leaders of the elven kingdom recorded their end in the historical archives left by the founder before the kingdom collapsed.”

It’s not just the end, it’s a kind of Han.
Hoping that the descendants of the elves will take care of it in the distant future, he created a barrier so that only noble elven blood can open it.

“What is that?”
“And that archive survived the cataclysm of countless worlds thanks to dozens and hundreds of barriers.”

According to the setting, Earth is the least damaged by the cataclysm.
No, there was a catastrophe called the invasion of monsters, but there were cases where the crustal movement was severe in other worlds.
The country collapsed in a huge sinkhole.

“The area where the archive is located has become a historic site and is now open to the people of Earth.”

Although earthlings do not know about the archives.

“Is that here?”
“Yes. As I said, I didn’t think there was an archive because I didn’t touch it too much to preserve the ruins.”

Who would think that there is an archive of elves?
In the first place, the humans only knew about the elves, only the ruins and people from the other world. So no one knows about the identity of the archives, and people from other worlds have lived on Earth since childhood, so they don’t know about the archives.
In addition, there is little information about the archives.
Even in the Elven Kingdom, it was a place that was secretly filled only by the leadership, and information was not leaked to the outside world.
Most of all, when the elven kingdom collapsed, the royal archives were burned down, so the archives must have been buried almost forever.

“How do I get in?”
“Elf blood. It’s only half, but I need your blood. Exactly here”

I pointed my finger at the dusty floor.

“This.”

After kicking the floor we were stepping on a few times, a thick layer of dust spread, revealing the pattern on the floor that had been covered.
It is the crest of the elven kingdom. At first glance, it feels like it’s just a decoration, but this is a lock to unlock the barrier.
It is not something that anyone who is descended from an elf can open it.
Only elves who inherited the royal lineage of the elven kingdom were eligible.

“This is the magic circle.”
“It’s an opportunity to see the history of your ancestors. If not now, I don’t know when I’ll be able to come back to the ruins.”

Originally, it was a structure in which Choi Si-woo accidentally scratched Reina during a prank, and a drop of blood fell here and was activated.
But, this time it is different.
It was no different than me, who was too lazy to go to the elven ruins, and brought Reina with me. Reina has to shed her own blood in her.

Pushuaaaaa!

“Kyaaaaagh!?”
“Yoo Eun-ha, is this okay?”
“Everyone hold each other’s hands tight!”

The saying “Leave your body to the rhythm” Comes to mind.
And I must have got the rhythm wrong, and I trembled with them in the storm of her space-time.

[You have entered the archives of the elves.]
[Warning! The aura of a human and foreign creature was detected. Block intruders.]
[Warning! The intruder’s level is high, so the barrier cannot be activated!]
[Warning! Instead of activating the barrier, the next best thing is to move the intruder to the archive of records!]

* * *

I woke up to the dirty feeling of the cold wind brushing my skin.
Exploring the surroundings, I found a space with a mountain of books.
Weird. According to what I know, in the novel, brightly shining magical powers are floating around, the bookshelves are arranged in an orderly manner, and in the middle there is a record-keeping record that works as a magic gear.
But here it is just a pile of books.
Come to think of it, I think I heard that it was a library of records at the end. Don’t you know what it is? I need help from the Akashic Records. At least that means it’s not an ordinary archive.
It never appeared in the original.

“Hey, Akashic Records. What is the Library of Knowledge?”
[The library of records is a kind of trap made in the archives of the elven kingdom. Originally, the barrier prevents intruders, but the intruder’s level is too high and the barrier cannot block the intrusion. The next best thing is the Archives of Records, created to trap intruders. If the archives are the place where the official history of the elves is kept, the archives of records are discarded knowledge or logic. It is a trash can that handles discarded data as a place where unnecessary ancient information is accumulated.]

I have a little headache. Is this place important enough to cause a headache?
Archive. Store. Well, if you don’t openly say that it’s a trash can, is it a story that this place is also part of the archives?
It’s probably hard to set traps inside the archives, so it seems like they used the archives of records, which throw away discarded materials, anyway as traps.

“Anyway, then this is also an archive, right?”
[Yes. To be precise, you can think of it as a library trash can.]
“Right.”

In a word, it’s fucked up.

[It is possible to escape if the master uses the power of the evil dragon, but it is not recommended because there is a risk of burning the entire archive.]
“Reina and Yoojung are the problem.”
[However, the master’s authority is not simply a high-level intruder. Originally, it is an area from which escape is impossible, but the escape route has been opened in this place, which could not handle the master’s presence.]

In other words, being trapped in a dungeon?

“Is it. Okay, I need to find a way out first.”

First, I got up and checked my surroundings. But right on the wall to my left was a strange bulletin board.
Looking at it from a distance, it looks like some of them have been erased and rewritten.

“What, is this a safety rule?”

-Welcome to the library of records of the elven kingdom. The archive of records provides a code of conduct for employee safety. The information below must not be disclosed externally, and the authorities are not responsible for accidents caused by ignoring or violating these items.

What is the Neapolitan ghost story?
It’s annoying to read, but you need to know that to get a hint to escape or not.

1. If you find a ‘closed bookshelf’ while wandering the hallways or using the magic gear in the control room, stop all actions and immediately leave the library and deliver the information to the person in charge. At this time, you must never look inside the ‘closed bookshelf’ and you must not go inside. The closed bookshelf is also a bookshelf that has disappeared from the archives of records. Does not exist. Therefore, there is nothing to see the closed bookshelf.
2. If you hear a voice saying that the records of the traitor Ralph have disappeared from the Records of Rebellion bookshelf, you must not go looking for them. First of all, after answering that you will take action immediately, you must immediately replace the magic gear and close the record bookshelf of treason. The magic gear installed in this archive of records does not have a call function, and the archive of records is currently managed by only one security guard.
3. Occasionally, corpses are found in the library. This is a common occurrence with other libraries, so you can follow the safety rules. However, never approach a corpse if there is wet paper on the corpse’s face, and close the area. And let other workers know about it.
4. If you’re making your way inside to the back door of the library and you find yourself wandering around the hallway, look around the corner, crouch, close your eyes, and cover your ears. The daytime worker checks the back door hallway every day when he or she arrives for work. You must stay that way until the staff finds it in the morning.
5. If you suddenly hear the sound of flipping papers, immediately lie flat on the floor and hold your breath until the sound is gone. Get down as quickly as possible to avoid having to hide behind cover or enter a room. After that, call the cleaning staff to remove the stain on the bookcase. Additionally, if anything else exists after this one, you should never look at it.
6. If burn marks are found in the hallway, immediately ring the fire alarm magic gear in the control room to evacuate all researchers. Please check if the number of people is correct and re-enter after 2 hours or more. Please inform users that the smoke detector went off because of a researcher who smoked in the bathroom. If there is an empty number at the time of the number check, when you enter after 2 hours, go to the area with burnt marks and go to the bookshelf where the marks are connected. Elves, parched like mummies, will be found unconscious.
7. Regardless of your gender, sexual activity in the library is strictly prohibited anytime, anywhere.
8. Among the magic gears placed in the control room, if the purple magic gear rings, never accept it. This magic gear does not supply magical power, and does not have a currency function.
9. If, on a rainy day, a human woman with gray hair, pale skin, and bloodshot eyes comes to her, she should not be driven away if she has no umbrella or raincoat and no wet spots. Please check the archive documents from 3 years ago in the control room and tell me only the location of the closed bookshelf. Afterwards, if you hear the screams of a man caught cheating on a rainy day and beaten to dust, you should ignore it. You can just get caught up in it.
-Maxim Weston, Administrator, xx/x/xxxx-
10. Ignore items 1-9 in this safety rule. Currently, the control room is closed in a demolition state. Workers just lightly patrol the inside and leave immediately.
-Date xx/x/xxxx admin Raina Silverryuk-
11. Item 10 does not exist in this safety guide. No matter what is written in item 10, please let it go through one ear unconditionally. If you have registered Rina Silver Ryuk under the administrator’s name, ignore it unconditionally. Lyna Simberyuk is a dead elf. Therefore, the safety rules cannot be modified.
-Maxim Weston, Administrator, xx/x/xxxx-

Year and date erased.
Fuck. I’m afraid of something like this No, before that.
I looked at the door immediately to the right.
On the door hung a sign in what seemed to be the language of the elves.
Something ominous

“The Akashic Records. What language is that written in?”
[It says Control Room.]
“Oh my God.”

Dog safety rules. What do you want to believe
Not.
Good. Let’s think good. If you think about it calmly, all of them can be interpreted.
This is the ruins of the elven kingdom. According to the setting, elves are a tribe with a civilization that excels in knowledge and magic.
Wouldn’t it be the Earth before the cataclysm where even magic didn’t exist? How can this be interpreted?

1. The closed bookshelf is said to have disappeared. In other words, it was literally closed when it was time to close it, but it reappeared due to a malfunction in the control room, so don’t get hurt by approaching it for nothing. Or, a skilled intruder who could restore the missing bookshelf came in.
2. In a word, the excellent Kampf who can hack magic gear and send voices is whining because there is no record of traitor Ralph. It’s not once or twice, let’s implement justice by closing the bookshelf where the intruder is.
3. Bookbak This means that the Kamp guys broke in and snorted through the records. In case it is found again, inform the other workers not to be surprised by the body.
4. This library is so damn complicated that the corridors are so maze that you can wander around. If you get lost, don’t waste your time, tuck into a corner and wait for the next guard to patrol in the morning.
5. Kobakjuk The little elves are touching the bookshelves and doing dangerous things, so keep your head down and if you get lost in the children’s bookshelves, call the cleaners to take care of it. You don’t know what those snobs will do to the safety rules later, so you have to be careful here.

The problem is after this From number 6 onwards, it is the fake safety rules of those snub-nosed intruders. First of all, you have to interpret it while keeping an eye on the trap of the Kobakjuk.

6. It’s a shady cheating by dirty perverts who pretend to set a fire on purpose and want to snort comfortably and leisurely for two hours. There is even one security guard on duty. Pretending to start a fire and kicking out all users means that even the Kobakjuk idiots intend to monopolize each other’s records, or that they do not know that the library has only one manager in the first place. In other words, they are the idiots.
7. In a word, this is “Only I will put it in the book.” It is a phrase that expresses the desire to monopolize records in earnest. It is also a phrase that shows that the trick in #6 is to monopolize the library rather than to go crazy.
8. The purple magic gear can function as a currency and supply magical power. Kobakjuk Kamps are measures to prevent security guards from communicating with the outside world using magic gear.
9. The wife of one of the Kobakjuk Kamp guys can come over. She is frantic with the determination to kill her husband her, not just once or twice. So, she meant to send the woman to the place where her husband her, Kobak Juknom, is. Kobakjuk, who should be diligently putting records in the closed bookshelf that disappeared, breaks into the library on a rainy day, and this article was written by rival Kobakjuk 2.
A guy named Maxime Weston made up to 4 clauses, but since the rest of the space was too empty, the no-nonsense Kampf guys made up the clauses on their own. And finally, the 10th clause was written by a person named Raina Silverryuk, who is the surname of the royal family of the elven kingdom.
10. I wrote it like a fucking mess. I can’t tolerate it as a royal family. Let’s just destroy it all. It means this.
11. If the silver library is closed, the Kobakjuk Kampf will be ruined, so it is an indomitable will to restore the control room again in the situation where the royal family is gone, to inform that the library is fine, and to continue the Shady behavior. The name of the manager, Maxime Weston, is written here to add credibility.

Interpreting it, it seems appropriate to use this place as a trash can.
This shit, it must have been originally adjusted to prevent intruders in the archives.

“Then we have to find the back door.”

In any case, even the ruins of Kamp are bothering people.
