Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~

Chapter 59 - Twelfth Episode - Zeshum Ruins (3)

Finally, we arrived at the ruins of Zeshum.

Several carriages of the adventurers who came before us were parked there.

My first impression of Zeshum’s ruins is that it is a huge stone fort.

Several techniques are etched at the walls.

It is quite advanced.

It’s mainly a sealing type of magic.

The book says that the elves who descended to the ground sealed the function of Zeshum’s ruins as a fortress when they reconciled with the Norc tribe.

It was probably the magic formula that was applied at that time.

The magic method used is old and one can feel the difference in time.

Even those that can be easily reproduced nowadays have been assembled with a lot of effort.

However, even this becomes a reference.

Depending on the application, the possibilities are endlessly expanding.

As for me, it was worth it just to see that.

“It’s a fantastic ruin. I’m really glad that it was worth it what I came for. Thank you for bringing me here, thank you very much.”

I tap Maizen on the shoulder as I say it.

“………Mea is also glad to see that Abel is happy. Well, um, did you get to keep the travel expenses?”

“Hey, wait a minute, you guys! Don’t tell me you’re going to give up on me! That’s the trouble with adventure! Are you guys going to throw yourselves in front of the rampaging Fang?”

“No…… it’s better to go home quietly now.”

I pointed towards the ruins of Zeshum.

Five men stood at the entrance to the ruins.

They were all dressed in the exact same design, with white embroidery on blue cloth.

“We are my lord’s survey party! Currently, access to the ruins of Zeshum is forbidden without the lord’s permission! Now get the hell out of here!”

“If you are too persistent, I will refrain from being myself! My lord is an investor in the Adventurer’s Support Center, you know. Even you fools know what this means!”

In front of the five people who call themselves a survey team, a gathering of about thirty people has formed in front of them.

These are probably adventurers who came to explore the ruins of Zeshum, just like me.

All of them seem to be of bad people.

A woman with rags wrapped around her body, a half-naked man, and one wearing heavy armor that looks like it’s on the verge of breaking.

“Shut up! Let me through! You could have come through by force, this one!”

“Money! At least give me the money! And then I’ll back off!”

Compared to the five men who were well-groomed and well-faced, the thirty raggedy men were in severe contrast.

They continued to shout vulgar words.

The corresponding group of five people was also visibly in a bad mood.

“Don’t look down on me like a wimpy little boy! Didn’t they let you sleep with a faggot lord to serve him? Ah? That’s a good status, you male whores!”

“You people! I will not tolerate any outbursts against my lord!”

“Oh! Am I right? Did you get mad at me for being right?”

“I’ll beat you to death!”

“Calm down, Allen. My lord knows that these type of people will come out!”

It was getting more and more barrenly contentious.

If you look closely, you can see that Gaston is there, too. He’s in front of me, raising his arms in the air, playing onlookers.

“Hey, let’s go home, Maizen. I don’t want to get mixed up in that.”

“Mea also…”

I now understand why the Adventurer’s Support Center hadn’t released information about the ruins.

The lord must have spit on it and proceeded with the investigation.

That’s just the way it goes. It’s low risk, high return.

You’re in a position to have a monopoly, but you’re incompetent not to.

They say there are no good stories in the world, but I guess that’s what happens when the powers take it all away.

I wish they had made a bigger statement and made it clearer saying “don’t come”, but maybe that would only increase the number of people who thought they might be able to pick up the slack.

“I-it’s all right! Because when something similar happened before, the rootless Lords folded!　We’ll watch the proceedings from the back and mix in when we feel the conversation is about to move.”

“Ehhhh…”

That’s not what I was expecting from an adventurer.

“Look, when things get rough, you can join the riot and stop the adventurers. If you can stand out there, you might even be able to successfully take you in. I know a few adventurers who ended up working for their lordship in a similar fashion.”

It’s not the same…

“L-look! I’m the leader! You said you wanted me to be the leader! Wait, don’t leave! All right! The second half of the day, second half of the day, let’s stick here!”

Other adventurers had begun to leave in droves.

About five groups of adventurers have already turned back the way they came after we arrived.

…I think it’s time for us to go home.

“Listen to me! I’ll keep yelling at you day and night! If they’re tired, their judgment will be impaired!”

Gaston inspires the other adventurers.

Barren. Horribly barren.

I really wish the lords would withhold his name and pluck them out of the city.

But, we’re in a situation that we stayed because of that…… I want to go home.

It’s needlessly cunning that they don’t resort to violence after making so many threats.

As long as it doesn’t become a violent incident, it won’t be the problem I pointed out.

There’s an atmosphere that a big scuffle will happen if either one made a momentum to make a move.

“Hey, get those people watching from there to join in, you coward! Do you want to take advantage of this? I’m telling you, you’ve got a rotten bone in your body! If you won’t do anything, go home!”

I’d like that too.

There are many other adventurers besides us who are watching from a step back.

They all watched the adventurers and the lord’s survey team from the carriage as if they were cages in a zoo.

Whether or not we’re going back, we should also go back to the carriage for a while.

I’m tired of standing there.

At that rate, it looks like there won’t be any progress for a while.
