The brave man opened the coffin and rose

The lizardman named Skaras felt the magical rhythm coming from the blast furnace, impact hammer, and explosives.

He had no idea of ​​the details and just felt confused.

And in Sweet Leaf Town, all the people who witnessed all this felt a strong sense of excitement.

“Two problems… solved at once, and it can also help with integrated production… It’s like the breath of God.”

Sister Agatha said this, and this was the first time she realized so clearly the tip of the iceberg of how to use the magic crystallization she created.

If Abbes were here, it could be given a more appropriate name, the heartbeat of industry.

The person who brought back the key things to solve these problems was the bear goblin Kurgei.

----------

Time goes back to the moment when the bugbear Korgai separated from Abes and Anivia.

Obviously, different doors took them to different places.

Kurge was behind that door and didn't see Abes and the others.

He also didn't know that the master he had just "pledged allegiance" to was now fighting against undead creatures, a big man spitting black water, and a group of mages.

What he saw was a completely different scene.

Some huge obsidian rectangles are neatly arranged in the hall before you, like the continuous bookshelves in a library.

Then, each of them passed through some metal tubes and led to a stone tablet.

Kurgei first looked at the front of these obsidian-colored rectangles.

And the inside is indeed divided into many layers, just like the bookshelves in a library.

But what was placed inside was not a book, but a thin sheet similar to the shutters of a venetian blind, supported by a metal shaft and slowly rotating.

The thin sheet exudes a metallic luster and is engraved with extremely simple rune symbols.

can't read……

The bear goblin scratched his head, then left and came to the front of the stone tablet.

After tentatively touching the stone tablet, a vast expanse of empty white appeared before Kurge's eyes.

He touched his eyes in confusion. His eyes were not injured and there was no foreign object blocking his vision.

If he ignores the white stripe and doesn't look at it, it won't block his vision.

But if he focused his attention there, the white stripe would appear quite clearly.

And this white strip will always exist as long as he is near the stone tablet.

The white stripe will disappear only if he walks one meter away from the stone tablet.

After disappearing, if he approaches again, the white stripe will not appear unless he touches the stone tablet again.

He frowned, stepped back one meter away from the stone tablet, and then stared at the places he had touched.

This stone tablet is very unusual.

The surrounding obsidian "bookshelves" and metal "louvered windows" all have a common feature.

That is the accumulation of time.

Whether it is the dust on the surface or the signs of oxidation, it is enough to show that this place has gone through a long time.

However, only on this stone tablet, which is ultimately connected by some metal pipes, there is no sense of time at all.

The strange patterns carved on the stone tablet are clear and bright, and the entire stone tablet has been cut and polished into an extremely smooth state.

And Kurge did not capture any traces of moss on the base of the stele or anywhere else.

In short, there is no damage to the pattern, it is as clear as if it had just been painted, the polished surface has not been worn into a rough state, and there are no traces of moss or the like.

Nothing seemed like it had lasted this long as the surroundings had.

Some kind of magic that can resist time?

No, no, no. Even though the bugbears are not very smart, Kurge can guarantee that time-related magic does not require so many twists and turns.

There is no need for so many "bookshelves" and "louvered windows", and there will not be a white strip appearing in front of his eyes.

As a brave bugbear and a skilled mercenary, he would be happy if someone could cast a speed-up spell on him and ask him to show how to hit twelve enemies in six seconds.

I have experienced the feeling of time being accelerated. I don’t need so many unnecessary things, and there won’t be any IOUs.

While thinking, Kurge approached again, then put his right hand on it and called out the white strip.

This time, he began to try to think of some specific images in his mind, or to speak.

That's usually how those magics work.

Then, as expected, the stone tablet responded to the words he spoke.

When he said "I want to go to where Lord Abes is now", the words he just said appeared on the white strip word for word, and after a brief pause, it began to change like garbled code, and then turned into a line of text with more precise definitions.

[East Gate of the Capital of the Northern Kingdom of Wommza]

This line of text appeared in front of Kurgei, with a faint light coming out from the black border of the text, as if trying to attract his consciousness to move closer.

Kurgei hurriedly shook his head, quickly let go of his hand, and ran one meter away from the stone tablet.

After a long while, when he was sure that nothing had happened to him, he moved closer again and tentatively touched the stone tablet again.

But this time, what appeared in front of him was not a white bar.

This time, the white bar will only appear again after his consciousness notices the small cross symbol of "+".

"Well, if I say I want to go back to my hometown to have a look..."

……

After trying a few more times, Kurge looked at the text in front of him again and roughly understood something.

The bear goblin, who had probably figured out the principle, didn't want to stay here any longer and shouted loudly.

"Go back to Sweet Leaf Town. I want to go back to Sweet Leaf Town. There is a very reliable silver-haired girl there. She is someone that Lord Abes trusts."

After a brief flash of white light, what appeared before Kurgei's eyes was the familiar mayor's hall of Sweetleaf Town.

At this moment, a stone tablet appeared and stood under his crotch.

The shape of the entire stone tablet is incompatible with the shape of the roads around Tianye Town.

A stone tablet suddenly appeared from under his feet, causing him to fall headfirst.

But despite this, after getting up, Kurgei roared with joy twice.

"I'm back!"

"Take me to see Kronos. I have a report on Lord Abeth's situation."
