1985 War and Peace, Part 521 ~ Abandoned Ruins ㊱ ~

"Well, what's up"

After the Alphilis and the others headed further into the lower level, the most troubled was Bergay of the fist-serving clan. Bergay had come here after tracking Titania, but that tracking did not exceed Arnelia's speed of exploration. That's why I ended up joining Arnelia's expedition team to track Titania, but what I heard was that it went to the lower level before the Alphilis and the others.

Its Arnelian advance party does not appear to be able to make its way to the lower levels on its own any further, and is currently in the process of asking Miranda, the headquarters that will be forming near the entrance, for future responses. Make sure Miranda calls. Make sure Miranda comes down herself, it'll take a moment if you think about the journey to this point. You can't just spend that time for nothing, and Bergay explored the area independently.

And what we find is a big hole that leads further underground. Titania used it, Layer and Lunatica were thrown at Hansvl, the big hole where the Alphilis and the others slipped down in the magic of the closet. Now the hole is blocked by a circular scaffold, but it doesn't seem to be possible to descend further down from the gap.

But a peek underneath is naturally empty. I thought it was too reckless to risk my life where I wasn't even sure if it would lead somewhere, or if it was just a vertical hole.

"You're still more realistic down the hole earlier. Go back."

"No, maybe not, huh?

In front of Bergay, multiple figures emerge from the black jaws. Bergay stood guarded, but Doom, who appeared, raised his hands to show that he had no will to fight.

"Can I have a Bergay? I'm a black magician's doom... but since I'm already treasonable against Orangeables, does that mean I'm a traitor? I don't have the will to fight here. Listen to me."

"... your signs are evil itself, whether you're a black magician or not. I think it's for the good of the world to succeed or lose, but it's for the good of people?

"You could have said that, my brother-in-law, you avengers clan. This guy's a deal, he doesn't care about each other, but as long as the profits are mutual. Aren't you?

You want Titania, I want to find out about this ruin and blow it to the Orange Bubble. What do you say we work together?

Belgay nodded until he couldn't figure it out, whether he trusted Doom quite enough with his candor.

"... fine. I don't trust you, but let's talk."

"The story is simple. This one's going down the hierarchy from here. I want to gather information at this site. [M] If Titania gets in the way at that time, I want it done. Securing Levantine if that's possible. Apparently, Levantine has Titania."

"Are you interested in Levantine?

"It's a sword that will cut off the mountain if you shake it. Aside from whether or not you can shake it, I'm interested to see how you can use so much power"

"You're like a scholar. Are you checking the ruins?

"You're on edge."

Doom walks straight through the side of Bergay to the center of the circular scaffold. Pointing there to the wand of memory, it slowly came to fruition from the wand.

"What's that?

"It's a memory wand. I can see what happened where I pointed this out. I can't specify a time slot, but I can see well when something different happened. This is what I realized when I was using this wand."

"I mean, less when something happens in a place like this? So it's easy to get clues?

"Your answer. It looks like it's going to turn its head."

When Doom mouthed the fruit that had been caned, what had once happened poured into Doom's brain. But the video is blurred because of how old the memory is. But...

"- Huh? You're lying, right? Is it broken, this wand?

"What's wrong, Doom?"

"No, no way... no way... why were there two ruin keepers?

Doom was confused. Of course, memories emanating from the fruit to which the memory wand applies are fragmentary, and the anterior and posterior contexts are often unknown. But in Doom's memory, a terrifying grinning administrator and an administrator with a Levantine were fearful, but confronted, and their faces were exactly the same.

Doom is exploring as he releases his splits into the ruins. In the room where Titania entered the back and found Levantine, he also realized that the earlier administrator and the individual were lying in decay.
