Some of the , the <>, migrated to the planet Arus.
Why did they build an underground city under the <?
Turles began to explain his guess.
"Perhaps it was a ."
"A survival experiment ......?"
"Yes. ...... organisms live by adapting to their environment. Unless, of course, the environment changes so drastically that they can no longer adapt."
"I understand."
Jin nodded.
In the first place, the creatures living on Ars today are the ones who have survived the drastic environmental changes, such as the doubling of the gravity.
"In other words, the changed the environment in which they lived and gambled on their ability to adapt as living creatures."
"Oh, so that's what you mean."
"Oh, is that what you mean? ...... This idea was more or less in the minds of all the who migrated here."
"I understand. ......<> are also descended from them."
"That's what I mean."
That the Independents among the moderates are the ancestors of today's <> is proven by the <> Turles, who have been alive since that time.
In their case, they left blood by having offspring with the natives.
"I suppose they hoped that the change in environment would stimulate their individual vitality, their survival instincts as a species ...... and increase their population."
But the uninhabited < indicate that the road was a dead end.
But here, a new question arises.
"<>, with that kind of experiment, are there any other > people who have done this?"
"Probably there are. ......Maybe the creation of a settlement on the moon (UNY) was part of that."
The place where Milowina lived alone. The place where the people of the old Leonard Kingdom fled from <>.
After all, both <> and <> are extinct. .......
"I wouldn't be surprised if they were on the ocean floor ......."
Turles speculated.
Indeed, it is possible that they are building cities deep under the sea, Jin thought.
Perhaps the was a remnant of that.
And the obvious question.
"If they are there, do they have any intention to come out in the open?
"They don't like change, so they won't come out unless ...... there's something wrong with them."
"I see. ......
Somewhat relieved Jin and the others.
Jin recalled that they had talked about the same thing about the or its relatives who might be on the western side of the Rasheel continent.
"If there are such <s, how should we deal with them?"
This was his main concern.
I have a feeling that we need to be prepared and prepared for the future, or rather, we need to be ready for the future.
After all, there is at least one facility that has a magical reaction.
"Yes. I think it would be better if ...... I, Maricka-sama, Zion-sama, Rhodoth-sama, and the others go there.
The , who are close by blood, and the , who were once their followers. Then they will not be alarmed any more than necessary.
Jin asked if it would be okay to use a at first, and the <> nodded.
The <> nodded. Your skill is sufficient and supreme.
"Thank you, sir.
"And as for bringing in the plague, I'm sure it can be perfectly sterilized.
It is also possible to use powerful sterilization and purification methods that cannot be applied to humans.
Half a day later, the two underground cities were found to be .
"So they met the same fate after all. ......"
"I see. Was there some kind of model?"
Turles explains it to me.
"There must have been some kind of city model. It is easy to build according to it. It's rational.
He also explained that there is no sensitivity to the same configuration as other cities.
"So you are saying that all of the underground cities in the area have a similar structure?"
"That's right."
This was good news for Jin and the others.
The procedure for visiting an with a real ...... magical reaction is very easy to understand and thus easier to make contact with.
"So, did you discover anything new?"
<>
"Please."
<>
The first find that the old man described to me were two intact golems.
They have not been tampered with by the followers as was the case at the <>, but are simply deteriorated and stopped.
Since the <> is intact, we will be able to obtain some valuable information by analyzing it.
The other is a .
It is said that it briefly describes how the site became a ruin.
"Let me hear that one."
<>
Here ......<>, and another one to the north of the <> were experimental cities, as <> Turles said.
They were built at about the same time and settled by 13 volunteers from the invading faction.
<>, five at the site east of the Crescent Lake>>, and four at the site north of the Dyson River>>.
The composition of the town is almost the same.
What is different is the followers.
First, <> lives with followers, automata, and golems.
The <> ruins are served by automata as followers.
And the ruins north of the Dyson River are served only by the follower race.
They began to live in such a combination.
However, after about 1000 years, all the ruins became uninhabited.
The site that lasted the longest was the one north of the Dyson River.
The last inhabitants, including the followers of the tribe, disappeared about 2,500 years ago.
"It's amazing, in a way, that it lasted a thousand years underground..."
Goose exclaimed in amazement.
"Hmm. Still, it wouldn't make much sense if they were extinct."
Turles sighed.
"But now we know why there were so few documents at the ."
"<>, what do you mean?"
"Mm. It means that there was someone who was able to pull up the results of the that were conducted at the three facilities. Perhaps they are in the underground city where the magical reactions are."
"Oh, so that's what you mean. ...... I see."
Now Jin and the others became more and more curious about the with the magical reaction.
