Chapter 48


Disposal Ruins Investigation Team


Several men were walking in the dark forest .


A member of the investigation team suddenly stopped and looked back at something he didn’t notice before .


[What in the world are those corpses?]


Hearing him, I also turned around and looked at what he’s looking at .


[I don’t know . Those corpses looks like a fallen mercenaries to me . ]


[Are they perhaps on their way to Mills?]


[That’s possible . Other than our group, the only people who pass through this forest are those who are heading towards Mills . ]


I noticed that one of the members looked really pale .


He is very pale .


[Have you ever seen a corpse that had turned into that state before?]


[Ye… Yes…]


The corpses were terrible .


There were a total of four of them .


None of their faces could be identified .


It must have been eaten by some kind of beast or a monster .


One of the members knocked over the sword that was hanging on the waist of one of the corpses .


[To fall in a forest like this, these mercenaries probably aren’t that strong . ]


[These corpses, no one of them had any money?]


Anyone could seldom find that much money from dead corpses .


Of course, that includes the baggage they had .


However, no money were found on these corpses .

[They may have encountered a robbery . Well, it’s rumored that there have been occasional robberies going on in here . ]


[Does that mean that after these people were killed by a monster, other travelers who pass by looted these corpses?]


[If they were just going to be killed by some random monster in this forest, they shouldn’t have bothered becoming a mercenary . ]


[Did a monster finally come out from the Disposal Ruins?]


[Hahaha, if that were so, then we have to ask the Magic Knights to handle this instead . ]


[You’re right . ]


The members tried to insert some jokes into their deductions of what they think could have happened to those people .


[Oh, we can finally see our workplace . ]


Disposal Ruins .


The familiar landscape .


There would be no change yet again this time .


That’s natural, or so the captain thought .


[There’s no abnormality this time again . ]


One of the loose-lipped members spoke .


[This job sure doesn’t have that much change . ]


[An unchanging job is fine . Okay, I’ll do the usual confirmation . ]


[Captain, you’re so serious~]


[It’s because this is still our work . ]


This is the job that was tasked to them by their Allied Kingdom, Allion .


A periodic survey to the Disposal Ruins .


Urza Kingdom and Allion Kingdom have been hand in hand together .

These two kingdoms have a good relationship that they had been maintaining for a long time .


I’m glad that I got this job .


I strongly like that .


First of all, the pay for this job is good .


And yet, the job is very easy to do .


I take out a magic tool from my bag .


This is a magic tool that was personally made by Goddess Vysis .


For many years, this investigation had been occurring from one team to another .


I walked along the walls of the ruins .


I traced around for quite some time until I pressed on one unsuspecting part of the wall .


Clank~ clunk~


A dent appeared out of nowhere .


It’s an elongated hole that is just wide enough for an arm to fit through .


I would then bring the crystal near the hole .


It’s a black crystal .


If you see this crystal’s color turn to platinum, then the work is over .


I don’t know the principle of why the crystal changes color .


However, I had no intention to investigate the reason .


An easy job .


Everyone in the Investigation Team is happily enjoying the leisurely job .


I know what kind of place this Disposal Ruins is .


But I’m not interested .


It has nothing to do with me whoever is sent to wherever it is .


It’s a discussion that has nothing to do with my life .


If I can have an easy life without danger, then that’s just fine .


I don’t wish for any change in my life .


Everyone was used to the leisure of our job .


Even I’m the same as them .


I don’t want any trouble in my life .


I just want to continue to do this good-paying job with ease .


[Hmm? What the?]


[What happened, Captain?]


[The color didn’t change . ]


The black crystal didn’t even shine at all .


There’s always something that behind that hole that made the crystal shine into platinum .


The crystal at my hand should have changed its color in response to that .


[Captain! Does this mean—]


[Ah…]


My eyes turned serious as I looked at the others .


With a stern expression, I held my hand over my mouth .


[I guess this crystal had finally reached its end . ]


[Even the magic tool that the Goddess had personally made had a lifetime too~]


Clink~


I poke the crystal with my fingertip .


[I guess we have to this crystal changed for a new one . ]


[When we get back, should we report this to Allion?]


[No—]


I replied quickly within a beat .


[I can just tell them at the time of the regular report . That should be about half a year later . ]


[Is that okay?]


[The procedures to handle matters are really troublesome especially when the news have to be sent to Allion . The procedures would be easy if it would be just talked about in this country . ]


[Ah… I understand . ]


The Investigation Team started preparing to leave the Ruins .


[Well, I guess the report this time should be “No Abnormalities” as usual . In fact, I can’t anything that had changed at all . ]


[Well, what if there may actually be some people who had lived and managed to get out of this Disposal Ruins?]


[Hahaha! That’s impossible!]


Laughing and joking with the rest, I turned back and looked at the ruins .


[There was no record of someone of someone who has managed to live through there and escape the ruins even once, even after examining the past records about this ruins . ]


The Disposal Ruins with zero survival rate .


There can be no change .


I put the crystal that doesn’t work anymore into my leather bag that was strapped on my belt .


[This will be just an easy job . Absolutely . ]
