Chapter 2685: 2685 - - 72-05 Up the tower

The door opened to reveal a huge hall.

The entire first floor of the tower seems to be a hall, and it is circular in shape.

By eye, it is only a little narrower than the outer diameter of the tower, so there can be no doubt about it.

The height to the ceiling is about 10 meters. It is quite high.

There is a pillar of about 7 meters in diameter standing in what seems to be the center of the tower, but there is nothing else.

There is a little dust on the floor.

"The composition of the air inside is almost the same as outside, but there are a few aromatic hydrocarbons in the air.

Aromatic hydrocarbons are organic compounds classified according to their molecular structure.

They are so named because many of them give off an aromatic (good-smelling) fragrance, but be careful because many of them are highly toxic.

Typical examples are benzene, toluene, xylene, phenol, cresol, naphthalene, and azulene.

"Probably phenol."

Phenol, also called coal acid, is used to make bakelite (phenolic resin) and fungicides.

It has a peculiar odor that many people would recognize if they smelled it.

"Is it disinfected or something?"

"Or maybe so."

There could be several reasons for this, such as an outbreak of plague, or rotting carcasses of animals or preserved foods that have entered the area.

"We'll know more about that as we investigate."

Jin D and his team examine the circular hall, but find nothing but dust.

If there was any garbage on the floor, it would also be analyzed, but there was nothing even there.

"I guess this pillar ...... is probably an elevator.

It is not impossible that there is a hidden staircase in the outer wall, but this is the center of the base. The <> Turles assured him that it would not be that elaborately hidden.

"Is it made of ...... adamantite on the surface?"

"The interior appears to be light silver."

reports his findings.

The walls of the column appear to be of double construction.

The outermost wall is made of scratch-resistant adamantite, while the inner wall is made of lightweight light silver.

Since there is nothing else to gain, I decided to open the door attached to the pillar.

The power was out here, too, so I had to open it manually.

The inside of the pillar was dimly lit.

"Hmm...... lighting...... no, the emergency lighting is <>? Then I wouldn't be surprised if it is still lit."

The inside of the column is visible in the dim light.

The outer diameter is 7 meters, and the inner diameter is about 6 meters. This means that the walls are 50 centimeters thick.

In addition, there was a pillar with a diameter of 3 meters in the center.

Around it was a spiral staircase 1.5 meters wide, leading upward.

"The center must be the elevator. The surrounding area is probably a fire escape.

There was a door on the central pillar, but it was locked. When he carefully pried it open, he found that it was an elevator.

"It would be difficult to restore the elevator's power, wouldn't it? Shall we use the stairs?

Since all of them are golems or automata (< is treated as an automata), walking up the stairs is not a problem for them.

We all went up the stairs. About 12 meters up, there was a door to the second floor, which was open.

If it was meant to be a fire escape, that would make sense.

Let's take a look at the floor.

"Okay."

The floor was also circular, and seemed to make full use of the interior of the tower.

Unlike the first floor, however, there was some equipment here.

However, most of it was half destroyed.

"There's not much to see," he said.

"Well, I don't want to spend too much time here, so why don't we move on?

"I guess so."

So the group goes up to the next floor ......3.

"Mmm...... this is a ...... golem."

There were three stopped Golems.

However, the golems were also half-destroyed and did not move.

"It looks like a ferrous alloy.

"Yes. The joints are rusted and this red rust is definitely iron-based.

The craftsman (Smith)1 confirmed Mr. Jin D's guess.

"Master (My Lord) will be interested in it, but I think we should wait until later.

And so, the group headed for the upper floor.

The group headed for the upper floor.

"It's a ruin after all.

"Nah, nothing."

Jin and Erza were also a little disappointed.

"But Jin, isn't it a little strange that there's nothing here?"

Reinhardt said.

If the inhabitants were destroyed, then there must be some of their belongings left.

"That's for sure. ......"

"That's probably ......."

This question is answered by <> Turles.

"...... safe inhabitants of the <> must have collected what they could use."

The <> Turles explained that the concept of <> must have become stronger because of the long period of time they lived without resources.

"The three remaining golems were probably used to maintain the tower. They must have stopped working over time."

That makes sense.

"Mm."

"...... But , that would mean that there are no more proper or left in this tower, right?"

"Mm?　......Mmm, yes, that's a possibility. But the magic brain is a kind of symbol of the institution and the town, and I don't think they would give it away in the slightest.

"I see. ...... But what about the magic brain in the underground of the the other day?"

There was a magic brain that controlled the submarine in the basement of the , but a hole had been made in the room and the magic brain had been destroyed.

"Hmm. I think it might have been another motive. I've been thinking since then that, for example, a competitor tried to win by destroying the magic brain.

Isn't that against the rules?"

"I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what kind of agreement they had.

"That's true."

At this point, Jin decided to return to the problem at hand.

The screen of the large magic screen showed the fourth floor.

The fourth floor was shown on the screen of the large magic screen.

There is nothing here either.

Let's go up.

"Yes, I think so. The master (My Lord) is waiting for us.

The group continued to go up. They were 60 meters above the ground.

The spiral staircase ends there.

"This must be the top floor.

Only on that floor, there was a door at the end of the staircase.

I thought it was locked, but it was not, and although it was a little heavy to move, I could open it normally.
