Chapter 1474 – [Diana Dox and the Final Ruins]

As with previous visits to other kingdoms, we were warmly received.

Thanks to Elizabeth, I came here quickly without stopping by the village, so I was looking forward to it because it was no different from the first meal in the Cutsey Kingdom. I wondered what would be delicious here, but I was able to guess roughly by looking at the dishes that came out.

Even though it’s a royal dish, it’s easy to understand when you see potato soup and sweet potato soup coming out. In addition to that, there are many dishes that contain carrots, radishes, and taro.

Of course, there are plenty of meat dishes too. However, since the proportion of root vegetables is quite high, I wonder if the specialty here is that way.

“Delicious!!!!”

“I see, it doesn’t seem like it was made with ordinary materials. Was it raised by the spirits of the earth?”

“That’s right. Our Cutsey Kingdom is also famous for its nutritious and delicious crops. Because there are so many things to eat, the rate of living in Paret is higher than in other countries, and there is no shortage of food.”

What should I say? Each kingdom feels balanced and distinctive.

Just like now, the Kingdom of Cutshi was in charge of precious metals and food, the Kingdom of Abeth was in charge of communication and distribution, and the Kingdom of Aif was in charge of medical care. I want to know what the Kartsi kingdom is doing, but they are probably fighting. If it’s a fire spirit, it’s fighting power will be much higher than other spirits.

I wonder if it’s necessary in a peaceful world, but other creatures blessed by spirits also appear here… Did you forget that the Kraken came out in the past in the Kartsi Kingdom?

Anyway, it was a royal dish, so it was delicious enough and I ate it deliciously. Eden and Ruru seem to have had enough, and they spent some time staying in the palace for a while.

In the meantime, he is preparing to visit the sanctuary and in addition to that, he plans to find Diana’s father.

“I’m sure it’s in the Kutshi kingdom, but it looks like it’s underground. It’s quite deep underground.”

“There are a lot of us Cutshies who like to dig in the ground…So, jokingly, we say that there are more underground facilities than above ground.”

“So maybe I know where the location itself is, but I don’t know where the entrance is.

“Isn’t there something wrong with you?”

“Yeah, do you think you’re healthy?”

“Then let’s stop by the sanctuary first.”

I don’t know what the purpose of the people who kidnapped Diana’s father is… But I think it’ll be okay if they’re confined for the satisfaction of the five bodies. There won’t be any problems right now.

Afterwards, we decided to set off to visit the sanctuary. However, before that, the king of Cutshi Kingdom called us for a while and asked for a favor.

“If you want to see Adreas-sama, I have one request for you.”

“Speak, Your Highness”

“Currently, the mining amount of the blessing of the land, which is used as a mine and currency for the royal family, has decreased. If you see Adreas, please ask why and if you can return the amount of mining to normal again. I will give you enough thanks for that.”

“Yes, I understand”

He said he would understand, but one question was what the blessing of the land was doing.

Since he came by Elizabeth’s carriage, he skipped the village and came right away, so he doesn’t seem to know about Cutsey Kingdom yet. From what I’ve heard, it’s probably an item used as currency, such as the catfish tree seeds of Cutshi Kingdom, the Tire snails of Aif Kingdom, and the bean sprouts of Abes Kingdom.

Later, when I asked Diana, she showed me what she had. It was a small piece of stone that looked like placer gold…But it wasn’t an ordinary piece of stone, it was spreading strange energy.

“This is the blessing of the land. It is something that is used as currency in our kingdom. It is used here and there in real life.”

“Where do you usually go?”

“Once you grind it into powder and apply it as fertilizer in the field, the crops grow well.”

“Oh, that’s nice. Is it fertilizer?”

“And if you add it when refining metal, it increases its purity and is also used for polishing jewelry.”

“It’s full and overflowing with just one use of fertilizer, but that much?”

What is Muan Sweet Water, no, because it is soil, is it Muan Danto? It seemed to remind me of Eden’s essence of water.

Because it’s a spirit like the Hagi Knight…But, Yessto. Do you have something

[Use the Essence of Fire to purify contaminated objects]

“But if it’s at the level of burning anyway, I wonder if there’s any meaning in purifying it.”

Anyway, we head for the Great Canyon Sanctuary. Although it was located not far from the capital, the scenery at the entrance was very huge and magnificent. The deep and wide canyon makes people realize that it is a small existence and gives them a sense of awe of nature.

It may be modest compared to other sanctuaries where volcanoes, underwater, or gusts of wind blow, but because of that, it had a different sense of intimidation than other sanctuaries. A sanctuary is not a sanctuary for nothing.

“Welcome to Summoner’s Rift”

“Wouldn’t Eden not roll you?”

“I don’t like hearing pad drip, so I don’t, but that and dog drip are two different things”

We all entered the gorge together. Here, I do not ride a carriage, but walk on my own two feet.

The appearance of the weathered rock was natural, but not only that, but various things can be seen between the strata split in the middle. I don’t know much about this side, but there were several fossils scattered here and there that did not match the age of the strata.

“Oh, it’s a Tyrannosaurus fossil!!! Crong, it’s your cousin!!!!”

[Kreung?]

“Strictly speaking, we should start with whether Crong is a Tyrannosaurus.”

“Crong is a Tyrannosaurus. Anyway, he’s a Tyrannoy.”

“Oh, the dinosaur meat was delicious too.”

“Next time Crong goes home, he’ll be able to eat dinosaurs”

“Five!!!!”

Looking at the fossils in the strata, Diana’s eyes lit up, and Elizabeth explained things to Diana. Elizabeth’s birth was not on Earth, but she had lived for many years and was a wizard, so she knew a lot.

“Oh, these are fossils that are often found during excavation.

“This is a creature called a dinosaur. It was a creature that ruled this land long ago, long before humans ruled.”

“Is that so?! It’s such an old bone, can it survive?!”

“Actually, it’s not bone, it’s stone. It’s made of various things that go into where the bone used to be and harden it.”

“Oh, there were people who ate it because it was a very big bone!!!!”

“I’m sure you’ve got a stomachache”

In the past, it was called a keel, so people used to grind fossils and drink them. After all, it was used as a medicine, so even if the amount itself is not large, I just want to chew the fossil like a meal.

No matter how much you make a contract with the earth spirit, eating stone or soil is different. In places where you can’t eat, they say they eat mud cookies or something, but that’s a different story.

“I’m sending the support money to them quickly, but are they eating well?”

“Your mother will take care of you, so you’ll be fine.”

How dare you do tax evasion or embezzlement with my daughter’s money? If you play with money, Shion will be stricter than me. If you are Korean, wouldn’t it be the fish of the Han River?

While looking at the fossils, I felt like I was in a museum, and I suddenly remembered one thing.

“What?”

“Dad, what’s wrong?”

“No, something came to my mind. Um…”

Traveling here many times, I learned that this place was originally Earth and was destroyed due to human disease. But on the other hand, strangely, human facilities remain and I have looked around, but I have never seen a human corpse.

Of course, a lot of time has passed, so it’s time for the bones to decay. Although it is early to be found as a fossil, considering that the mammoth mummy found in a cold place is relatively intact, it is possible to find human traces due to the overlapping of various elements.

But even in the height of the excavation boom, why aren’t human corpses and bones found?

It may be a coincidence, but it may not be a coincidence. Perhaps you should ask the owner of this place to find out.

Eventually, we were finally able to face the owner of this gorge.

Gooooo!!!

Even though I’m just not doing anything on the spot, it looks like a mountain because it’s like a mountain, no, it’s like a real giant stone turtle, but anyway, I feel that kind of intimidation.

Jerosto was a bird, Chishirba was a whale, Fulstead was a horse, and Adreas was a tortoise.

[It’s been a while. Adreas]

[It’s been a while… How are you…?]

[Yes, it was very interesting. Well done. It seems like you’ve been quite busy, right?]

[Well, somehow…]

Is it because it’s a turtle? Or is it just because it’s heavenly? The other person spoke slowly and was quite relaxed.

Come to think of it, isn’t Yessto following Eden to meet his friends? That seems to be a bit better, but if you think about it, I wonder if Yesto, not Eden, benefited.

Anyway, Eden shouted at such Adreas.

“Hello!!! Make a contract with me and become a magic cow… No, become a spirit!!!!!”

[Ah… That’s… Unreasonable…]

“I got rejected!!!!”

“This”

To be honest, from my personal point of view, considering that out of the four spirits, only one contract was signed, I think it’s not a big deal.

It’s not that Eden’s affinity is low. Even if you can’t honestly, shouldn’t you sign a contract for about half of them? But if Adreas refuses, the story is over.

I can force it, but I don’t want it. If that was the case, I would have beaten the opponent and made them sign a contract with Eden.

[These days… I have a lot of things to do… So I can’t]

“Work? What’s up?”

[I’m sorting out what humans have left behind…In that sense…What you guys did before…Thank you]

He’s probably talking about what we did in Aif Kingdom. Because there were radioactive and nuclear materials that even the spirits of the earth would have a hard time with.

Apparently, he was managing human heritage that would cause problems in future generations. So I asked him the question I had.

“Did you do that no human bones or corpses were found?”

[Yeah…Humans…It’s better not to stay…]

“No way”

Among transcendental beings of human origin, there are not that many people who affirm human beings.

No, it’s a pity to think that he did that even though he was of human origin. On the one hand, I have my own beliefs, but on the other hand, I’m going to have a good time.

Adreas’ efforts to erase human existence from this world were quite understandable. Especially in an era where excavation is in full swing like now, we have to work even more.

[For a few years…If I had come earlier…I would have signed a contract]

“Isn’t that our fault after all?”

“It must have been a matter of time. So don’t think it’s because of us.”

Well, first of all, that part is good. It’s none of our business.

Even if you erase human existence, you erase human traces, and that’s not a bad thing. Honestly, it’s to the extent that humans here can be erased as if they don’t exist. Ah, but why did the ones in Aif Kingdom stay?

[It’s too close to the capital… If you break it, the damage will be great…]

“Then I can’t help it”

[So… I was going to take the time to deal with it… But you guys did it… Thank you]

I honestly thought that if I did anything to erase human existence, I had to stop it, but that side seemed to care about the loss of life. In fact, it is the fastest and simplest way to change it once if necessary, but it is not doing that.

It’s a pretty good spirit. If it’s a spirit like that, what it does is trustworthy.

“Then, are there no traces of humans, that is, human bodies, in this world anymore?”

[Almost…None…Ah, there might be just one…]

“Only one?”

[That’s an exception…It’s different]

Exception, what is the exception? How is it an exception?

I don’t know, but when she was about to ask for details, Diana stepped up and she yelled at him.

“Adreas-sama!!! My name is Diana Dox!!!! Is that a story related to our ancestors?”

[Dogs…?]

“Yes!!!! Because our ancestors left very clear records about humans!!!!”

The giant tortoise then stretched her neck and approached Diana. Something bigger than a decent building, even if only her head, sniffed Diana and chuckled.

Of course, because of his size, he didn’t just laugh, the ground vibrated and an earthquake occurred.

Adreas spoke quite quickly, perhaps because of his excitement. It was average, but considering what he said, it’s fast enough.

[Yes, it seems the time has come. Then go I will know the truth]

“The truth? What truth?”

[You can tell by looking at it. Saying it doesn’t make any sense. It’s something worth finding out on your own, but it’s worth it, so look for it]

“Then what about the ruins written on this map? Please let me know!!!!”

Diana showed him the treasure map she had.

Actually, it’s only half, but he who is the spirit of the earth and the apex of it knows what that means.

I wonder if that’s the case, but he’s already erased all traces of humans on this land. He has that kind of ability, but he can’t be unaware of the ruins around his sanctuary.

No, to be honest, it’s not strange that you don’t know what’s near your house unless you’re on the road you often go there, but it’s weird not knowing what’s in your front yard. Besides, it wouldn’t be too small.

[That……]

Adreas took a close look at the treasure map Diana showed him. Then he nodded his head.

[Yeah, that’s right…]

“That one? What the hell is that?!”

[You have to see it for yourself…It makes sense…]

“Ah…..”

Diana made a pitiful noise. But still, Adreas left a very deep conviction about it.

[But… Let me tell you one thing…]

“Yes?”

[The ruins you are looking for really exist. So try hard to find

There is no guarantee as thrilling as the certainty of a known existence. I felt like the ruins Diana was looking for would be a very enjoyable adventure.

“One Piece actually exists…!!!”

“It’s not One Piece?!”

“I will become the adventure king!!!!”

If we leave it as it is, our Eden will go on a great journey.
