Chapter 1473 – [Diana Dox and the Final Ruins]

We prepared to depart for the Cutshi Kingdom. In fact, there was not much to prepare like that, and Diana only had to pack her belongings, but it didn’t take long for Diana to think she was preparing in advance.

I had to think of transportation, but Elizabeth took care of it. She pulled out a fancy carriage from her own, her child’s space.

“There are many amenities along with space expansion magic inside. You will be comfortable while traveling.”

“It’s cleaner inside than I thought.”

“Eden, why is that a line that seems to cause problems?”

It feels like a blue oni is chasing me and I’m going to go crazy… Well, it’s a dog drip.

Even if the wagon wasn’t that small, the interior space was unbelievably spacious. It has decent hotel-level facilities and is spacious, so even though there are quite a lot of people, you can get on one carriage and go.

In addition to that, even the horse pulling the carriage. I wanted to pull the animals raised here instead, but Elizabeth took out a horse-like golem and made it pull the wagon.

“It’s pretty good, but if you have this kind of technology, wouldn’t it be better to make a camper or something like that?”

“It’s a piece I made a long time ago. I didn’t even think of the concept of a vehicle when I made this. So I made an excellent wagon. And wouldn’t something like this be relatively inconspicuous here?”

“I think it’s already noticeable enough.”

“At least it’s better than running silently.”

Anyway, it’s quite spacious, and thanks to Elizabeth’s baby space, she can store a lot of ingredients, so she doesn’t seem to have any worries about feeding her kids. It is enough to think of catching wild animals in the middle and replenishing them.

Soon, we left school with Charles seeing us off. He waved his cat’s paw as if he hoped it would be a trip where he would gain a lot this time as well.

“Then I hope you have a good trip!!!! See you after the trip!!!!”

“Goodbye Charles!!! See you later!!!!”

After starting the journey in earnest, I felt the performance of Elizabeth’s carriage clearly. If you look at the scenery outside the window, it seems to be moving, but you can’t feel the vibration at all inside.

It feels like you are traveling inside a hotel rather than traveling on something. Well, this is a good experience, so I think it’s okay.

It’s nice to see things like this and that as we go, but that doesn’t mean we can’t just suffer. Besides, since I’ve been here four times, wouldn’t it be nice to go comfortably at least once?

The way is comfortable, but I can’t waste that time. First of all, we checked the itinerary.

“How? First of all, the sanctuary? Or excavation?”

“I think it would be better for you to decide, not me. I’m in a position to receive help, so I’ll follow your schedule.”

“Then I’ll have to decide after hearing your story before that. Can you explain it in detail while looking at the treasure map?”

“Yes, hold on”

Soon, Diana pulled out her treasure map again.

I had only seen it briefly before, but looking at it now, there were a lot of things drawn that were very complicated even though it was very old. And upon closer inspection, it is no ordinary map.

A typical map is such a flat map looking down from above. However, this map was a cross-section, a map showing the side where something was cut.

I would like to have a map like this, but think differently. This map indicates that it is underground, not above ground.

“Yes, actually this map is only half. In order to survey the exact location of the ruins, a flat map, not a cross-section, must accompany it.”

“Where’s that flat map?”

“That…My father had it, but he went missing some time ago.”

“Yes?”

Little by little, Diana explained her own story.

Her family, the Dox family, is a very famous family and has been able to contract with the spirits of the earth for generations, find mines, underground water, or build underground facilities.

And relatively recently, after we informed the existence of humans in the kingdom of Aif, and it was announced, the family decided to excavate the ruins based on the treasure map left by the founder of the Dox family in earnest.

In the middle of the investigation, Diana’s father suddenly disappeared. Along with the other half of this map.

“If you’d gone out to investigate something, you would have told me. But the sudden disappearance…”

“Um, something suspicious.”

“I know this!!!! I was kidnapped by the Nazis!!!”

“Eden, there are no Nazis in this world.”

“I think it would be okay to have them. Maybe it’s because they’re idiots, but the meat is pretty good… Oh, sorry. I can’t eat other meat anymore.”

Lulu stopped talking. Well, I don’t think I can change my habit overnight, so I don’t want to criticize it.

If you think differently, Lulu used to be an extreme carnivore, but now she’s vegetarian, no, not completely vegetarian. He’s only been able to eat one type of meat for the rest of his life, so it won’t be easy to adapt. You should understand that part.

In fact, if you break it, there is no problem other than breaking the engagement, but you are protecting yourself. It remains to be seen whether she will be able to endure to the end and overcome her nature. Of course, I’ll give you some help.

“We get along pretty well. Isn’t it just that we got engaged?”

“Well, if it weren’t for this kind of relationship, she wouldn’t have made her fiance for nothing.”

“At the same time, I think you know what a possible man you are. Where the hell is a man who gives affection to a woman who tries to eat him?”

“Here it is!!! What can I do!!!!”

“That means that you are a person with a lot of affection. Even with that kind of women, there won’t be any major disagreements, right? That’s proof that you give that much love.”

“Uh… Is that so?”

There is some truth in what Elizabeth said, surprisingly, even if I unintentionally set up a harem, I rarely have any problems because of it.

Well, these days, the Heavenly Demon and Ana are helping me, but it hasn’t spread to bloodshed yet. I can’t say that there was absolutely no such thing as bloody each other in the first place, but it was rare.

……Honestly, if women fight, it’s my fault. It’s because I can’t read enough and love you enough. No matter how much Zion and Eden are the best for me and other women are next, it doesn’t mean that I don’t take care of them because they are always next.

If any of my lovers other than Shion asked me to rip my heart out, they would rip it out on the spot. Well, it will hurt, but you won’t die.

Anyway, one of the things we have to do has been decided. First, find Diana’s father and find the half of the treasure map he has.

This part was relatively simple. In fact, it is difficult to find a person who has no trace of where he is, but it is because Eden is there.

“I’ll have to look for Gaia Records~”

“But if you think about it, it would be faster to find where the ruins are based on this half-map.”

“Do you think if Luffy knew what One Piece really was, he would have said he was the Pirate King?”

“That’s it too”

It’s okay to look at hints for difficult questions or answers, but it’s not fun or exciting if you just openly find out the results or answers. And anything that only pursues results is not good.

“Even the boss couldn’t reach the result after only pursuing the result… Don’t come close to me!!!!”

“Jojo drip is about that, where is Diana’s father?”

“You were in the Kingdom of Cutsea?”

“What?”

It may be somewhere in a remote area, or in the worst case, it may be dead, but it seems to be in good shape unexpectedly. It’s not anywhere else, it’s on the side of the kingdom.

It seems that you just have to find it on the way and get what you get. And while I was there, I stopped by the sanctuary.

“Wouldn’t it be better to stop by after everything is over?”

“Not anywhere else, if you need to excavate an underground ruin, it’s not bad to get help from the owner of that sanctuary or make a contract.”

“Um… That could be it.”

We definitely set our schedule. And quickly move on to the kingdom of Cutshi.

The ingredients were sufficient and the carriage was fast, so it was more comfortable than any other trip. As long as there was mana, the doll horse would keep running, so it could keep running even in the middle of the night, and there was nothing to worry about as there were no interruptions in the middle.

I could have stopped at a village on the way, but rather than doing that, it was better to just run straight to the capital of the kingdom, so I went straight through the shortest route. As a result, I was able to cover a distance that exceeded a week in 2 or 3 days.

Of course, it was boring, so I stopped the carriage for a while in the middle and went hunting. And Lulu surprised us by catching something like a giant mole.

“Come and pick it up!!!”

“It’s a big mole!!! Oh, he’s also blessed by the spirits.”

“Really? It’s not an ordinary animal. Somehow, the speed of digging and strangely, it attacked with a stone.”

“Anyway, dinner is mole meat!!!!”

“How am I supposed to cook this? It looks like it will be raw, so I think I’ll have to use a lot of spices to get rid of the smell.”

I’ve eaten a lot of strange meat, but I’m honestly new to mole. The moles you usually see are at most the size of the palm of your hand, but what do they eat?

But this guy’s size was no joke. I’m not joking, it’s the size of a real house, so if it wasn’t for Eden and Lulu, our gluttonous pair, I wouldn’t have thought of eating all of this.

Anyway, Eden and I disassembled the mole and cooked it. Like a guy who lived in the ground, the meat had a lot of earthy smell, but when it was marinated in spices and made spicy, it changed to a unique meat flavor.

Is this the original mole meat? No, maybe it’s not a normal mole, but a mole that has been blessed by the spirit, so the meat seems to be different. Just as Lulu prefers transcendent meat, unusual animals are quite delicious.

“Umumum !!!! It’s delicious !!!! I feel a bit tough, but it tastes more chewy.”

“It’s the first time I’ve eaten animal meat blessed by spirits, and it tasted like this!!! Try it for the first time!!!”

“Yes, yes, eat a lot of Diana. Before we finish.”

“Oh, I can eat the bones after eating, so it’s okay.”

“Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. I don’t eat beef bone soup or even the bones, but Lulu chews them up.”

And as if showing off, Lulu was chewing bone-in meat by the bone. Because to Lulu, bones are nothing more than food with the texture of sweets.

“Your cooking skills are very delicious after a while. No matter how unique the ingredients are, you cook them so deliciously.”

“It’s like investing half of a reincarnated person’s life, but if you can’t do that much, you’ll have to hit the chef.”

Elizabeth, who is quite picky about her appetite, also enjoyed it. Since the ingredients are ingredients, I was worried that I might feel rejected, but surprisingly, I eat well.

She looks like an aristocratic girl on the outside, but she has a surprisingly easy-going side. Well, it reminds me of Ana. Well, the proportions are different though.

If Ana is 30% of the lady and 70% of the female lead, this is the opposite, about 70% of the lady and 30% of the female lead. Maybe she’ll get along pretty well when I and Elizabeth meet. Even if Ana argues with the Heavenly Demon, who is a similar type to her, this one is similar but different.

“I will arrive at Cutsey Kingdom soon.”

“Oh, you came sooner than I thought. This trip will be a bit loose.”

“It’s all thanks to Elizabeth!”

“What do you have?”

And we arrived at our first destination, the Kingdom of Cutsea. The Kingdom of Cutshi is a place where houses are built mainly with soil or stones, befitting the Great Canyon Sanctuary, which is a place where there are many earth spirits.

It feels like being in a folk village in the Joseon Dynasty. The walls were covered with earth and the roof was made of stones or something similar to tiles, and there were also tall buildings with several stories instead of one story.

Perhaps because it is built using the spirit of the earth, it seems that it can build buildings that are normally difficult to build due to their weight. And the pinnacle was a huge castle that could be seen in the distance.

When I visited Abes Kingdom in the past, I was told that I would be more surprised if I visited the capital of Cutshi Kingdom, but that was true. This is because it is one of the most splendid palaces I have ever seen and has excellent architectural skills.

The building material itself seemed not to be very different between soil and stone. However, the scale and the decorations that went into it were surprising.

A white castle made of marble. A structure as huge as that is white, as if it hadn’t burned at all, so I was in awe. And not only that, but it is hard to believe that it was made with the level and technology here by using various metals and jewels and decorating it with colorful patterns.

Considering that gold is the least valuable of the materials used for decoration over there, that’s all I’ve said. Especially at the top of the royal palace. At the tip of the tallest spire, a huge diamond the size of a human torso was inlaid, shining mysteriously in the sunlight.

“If Shion had seen it, he would have been crazy.”

“Okay. Let’s just take a picture instead and send it to mom.”

“Maybe next time he will come.”

The precious metals used for decoration over there would be an astronomical amount by human standards, but to Shion, it was no big deal. If you want to, you can bring asteroids made of all kinds of precious metals, whether gold or diamonds, from space.

However, the architectural style was different. As it is the first thing Zion sees when traveling, the architectural style that went in there was very outstanding. It’s gorgeous and cool enough that you wouldn’t think it was made by a beastman who evolved from a dog.

It feels like the Taj Mahal. Originally, the Taj Mahal was also decorated with jewels before it was looted, but is the original Taj Mahal similar to that? No, in some ways, that side is higher.

“I’ve seen it before, but it’s amazing.”

“Oh, have you ever been there?”

“Kutshis are surprisingly good at dexterity and things like that. Perhaps they developed talents for modeling or something like that under the influence of the earth spirit, but to compare them, they’re like dwarves.”

“If you think about it, digging and being dexterous is like a dwarf.”

If you look at them, even though dogs are evolved beasts, their hands themselves are fully developed, even if not to the level of humans or ifs. Come to think of it, did you even have a thumb? Then you’re done

Perhaps the news of our arrival has already been conveyed, so many cutsies welcoming us spread flowers along with greetings. Besides that, I was spraying something shiny, but to my surprise, it was gold dust.

No matter how much Yesto said he was the owner of the sanctuary, he did not know that he would welcome him by sprinkling gold dust as a welcome greeting. Indeed, Yessto was enjoying the feeling on top of the wagon with his wings wide open.

“If you think about material things, is the Kutshi kingdom the richest?”

“Yes? Why?”

“You have a lot of precious metals like gold and jewels.

“Uh…I don’t know why you think so, aren’t precious metals just pretty?”

“Yes?”

“You can’t even eat, but you can’t become rich even if you have a lot. The real rich are those who have a lot of food and food.”

Diana wanted to hear what she had to say, but on the other hand, it seemed right. No matter how much she made a contract with the earth spirit, she couldn’t live on gold or jewels. She had to earn money by farming or working to buy food.

Humans would have gone crazy, but perhaps because they evolved from animals, even if they think precious metals are pretty, they don’t seem to be risking their lives here.

Well, even if society collapses in the post-apocalypse, seeing that precious metals are used instead of money, human greed is understandable. Even if the world perishes, it is human beings who value gold.

I wonder if it’s peaceful here because the direction of greed is different like that… I honestly like it.

Anyway, we headed straight to the royal castle with a grand welcome. Upon entering, the inside of the castle decorated with various jewels and gold and silver welcomed us.

It’s really gorgeous here. I’ll have to set aside some time later to take a real commemorative photo.

The place we arrived after receiving the guidance was in front of the throne. We met the king of Cutshi Kingdom. A cutie with black and white fur, but an elderly beastman who could tell that he was old greeted us.

“Heh heh, nice to meet you. I’m the king of this Kingdom of Cutshi. I’m a sub-locally 4.”

“Nice to meet you, Your Highness”

If you think about the etymology of the name and the type of dog, is it border collie? Hagisa That’s because he’s a smart breed.

In the midst of greeting him, Eden muttered something small next to her.

“Bulocally? Chojang?”

Dog drip greed here?!

No, if you hit a dog drip, is that a dog drip!!!!
