Chapter 338 Lost Item
Big brother?
Brother, whats wrong?
Today, I have to go back to the future. I have decided to go ho.
Even though the Chieftain was an elf, he seed to know about various things in the world, enough to write novels on the Surface World, so I think that if he discusses things with Espie and Slayer, he will be able to handle the land issue.
But Im going to have a talk with Espie and Slayer well, unfortunately
Espie Slayer
Un, Big brother?
?
I have to leave these two behind. For over ten years.
How do I tell them that?
How do I convince them?
From now on, we wont be able to see each other for more than a decade
So, Young man, where will the land be purchased?
Hmm? Y, yes.
I couldnt think of any words. But there was no ti.
To get to Shiznautmy, we need to move fast.
I an
Uh-huh Shiznautmy the mountainous area beyond there seems to be within the territory of the Kingdom of Japone, and the mountains are privately owned and for sale well buy that .
Japone beyond Shiznautmy? N, no, Young man. Thats far too great a feat for our humble number to traverse unnoticed.
Huh?
In the first place, the problem was that the Chieftains people could not get there.
Thats right. You cant get there unless you pass through the forest and push through the plains.
There were less than a hundred elves in the village, so with that many on the move, theres a possibility that they will be found.
Hey, Larouiph, can you use your warp to get us there?
No.. I cant get that far either.
If it was just , Espie, and Slayer, there would be no problem. But, in that case, it ans that we will end up abandoning the elves, which would be too heavy on my conscience.
Even if I go back to the future today and betray my precious younger sister and brother, I have to at least resolve this
Ha~ a conundrum indeed. If only we could employ the teleportation device to swiftly reach Shiznautmy yet, once there, we must surface again, and what lies beyond should be within the warp distance of Lady Larouiph
What?
Huh?
No, its nothing, Young man. rely a murmured thought.
At that mont, Treainar reacted to the incomprehensible words uttered by the Chieftain.
Teleportation device? A device is it?
Chieftain Teleportation Device? What does that an? Is it so kind of magic?
Huh? Oh, thats of no matter. The device is just that, a device. As a matter of fact scattered across the realms, are devices imbued with Shiznautmy technology, so capable of whisking one swiftly to its nasake.
Huh!?
Well, truth be told, as I was crafting the map just before, I noticed the presence of one such device nearby, although it lies beyond our employ.
Treainar seed concerned about it, so I asked on his behalf, and the Chieftain said sothing outrageous.
Not magic, but technology? Why is there such a thing?
Thats ridiculous Ive never heard of such a thing in that place, even though the Demon King Army destroyed the Sorcery City of Shiznautmy, and investigated it afterwards.
Ah~, well~, it is indeed so unmistakably, it lies much deeper still only the city of Shiznautmy and a fraction of its subterranean vaults were vanquished by the Demon King Army yet beyond lay depths more securely sealed
W-what was that?
Ive heard that before.
But, Treainar said that no human could get there, and only a few in the Demon King Army knew about it.
One of them was Jamdiel. The technology and whatnot that lies deep within was used to conceive Kron
And the other was
Apologies apologies. Let this tale fade into shadows. Moreover, in truth, this discourse holds no aning whatsoever.
What do you an?
In fact, within those depths lies dormant technology Furthermore, to utilize those teleportation devices, a key is requisite. With said key, one may traverse swiftly from the nearby teleportation device straight into the heart of Shiznautmy but without that key, it remains an impossible feat.
Then where is the key?
Hmm~ I did possess it, yet sohow managed to misplace it truly, I well, at the ti, I deed it no longer of necessity and thus refrained from searching Ha~, in hindsight, perhaps I should have made a more diligent effort.
Key?
Child
Y, yes.
The key ntioned by the Chieftain was
Say, dear, Im unsure, but could this be before our fateful encounter? You wandered aimlessly, devoid of ho or destination, until chance led you to collapse within our forest, whereupon and my companions discovered you.
Hmm? No, the loss of the key occurred quite recently, in truth. It slipped from my grasp as I stumbled and fell into the river, carried away by its current.
Huh!? Fell into the river? Ive not heard of this!
No, it was during my flight from the arranged marriage that I lost it, refusing to be bound to such a fate, I fled.
Suddenly, a lot of things happened wasnt the Chieftain originally born in that village?
Besides, how does the Chieftain know so much about Shiznautmy?
No, before that, the key is
Hey, Chieftain. Do you an this?
I took that out of my pocket.
Besides Treainar and Jamdiel, he was the other person who knew about Shiznautmy.
I got it from Paripi
Oh, indeed. Thats the Master Key, not only for the entrance to the deepest recesses of the ruins but also for activating the device nestled within the depths eh?
At that mont, the Chieftain stiffened as if ti had stopped.
But a few seconds later
E EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHH !?? M, Master Key!? Wh, what!? F, furthermore th, the very one I dropped in the river and got washed away! Eh!? Why do you have it, Young man!? Did you pick it up!?
N-no I-I got it from an acquaintance
The Chieftain ran up to screaming with his mouth so wide open that I thought his jaw might have fallen off.
No way
I picked it up. No, seriously. Really no lie 100%. I just happened to pick it up after it was dropped.
That Paripi, did he really just pick it up?! Whats more, is this sothing that belongs to the Chieftain?
Ha, haha what coincidence this is, or perhaps fate.
The Master Key dropped by the Chieftain was picked up by the surviving Six Supremacy, Paripi, who gave it to in the future more than ten years later, and the lost item transcended ti and ended up here but that aside, one thing that bothers is
Although the hour is late this one who in hells is he? Even ignoring his powers and abilities he is no re elf.
Right. Who was the Chieftain?
