“Mize. Do you remember The Way of Wisdom about the terrain ahead?

“No… I hardly have any more. The memories I was referring to are quite old, so in these days when all sorts of paths have been pioneered, there are many cases where they don’t work.”

More than an hour has already elapsed since the beginning of the search for the labyrinth “Root of the Spirit Tree”.

Predicting the enemy is searching inside the labyrinth, you’d better stay here for another hour or so.

“This is…”

At the foot of the poke, I notice something strange falling.

Mize, who gave in in in front of him, confirmed his identity.

“Stone tablet, right”

The stone tablet falls on the floor, moss wrapped around it.

I guess I’ve been abandoned for a long time now.

“Does having a stone tablet mean… that this labyrinth was created in or before WWII”

Ancient civilization is in the first place – a civilization that flourished before the Second Wars of Bravery.

At the same time that the Second Wars of the Brave Demons ended, that civilization somehow became obsolete. So in the labyrinth created during WWIII and WWIV, no stone tablets have been found.

“Has Mr. Tweet ever seen a stone tablet in the past?

“Oh. Diving deep into the labyrinth, there are occasional finds. Most of the time… the inscription on the stone tablet is a special ancient letter, so you can’t decipher it unless you’re an expert… and even if you could decipher it, most of the time the contents are dangerous rewards…. Honestly, that’s something I don’t really want to see.”

In short, a stone tablet is a message left by a human being who lived before World War II.

Were there many friendly people at the time, and when the danger zone of the labyrinth approaches, they often draw attention with stone tablets.

“I… I can read this”

Thin – I had a feeling about that.

Mize’s Way of Wisdom uses ancient magic. Then it’s not strange to have knowledge of ancient letters.

“What does it say?

“Uh – there’s a treasure ahead,” it says.

“It’s too simple. You’re scared the other way around.”

It bothered me a little, but eventually I shook my head vertically.

I just wanted to go a little further. If it’s not a stone tablet that can reward you for the danger, you can keep going.

Besides, if the enemy gets here, there’s a good chance he’ll see this tablet and turn back.

If you are somewhat familiar with the labyrinth, you will not try to move on to the stone tablet. Neither would the enemy bring to the boulder a human being capable of deciphering ancient scripts.

“… hmm?

“What’s wrong, Mr. Tweet?

“I feel strange signs from the front. It doesn’t seem like a demon… but it’s not a person.”

But it was a human silhouette.

Nestled in the heart of darkness, an inorganic sign. The identity of the

“Golem……?

It was used in the Adventurer Alliance’s Basic Combat Force Test, the Golem.

The figure is slightly different. The golem in front of him was dirty with sand and dirt, his arms thick and his feet short. If you look closely, your feet are not touching the ground. Looks like it’s floating.

Golem’s eyes light a pale light.

I activated Ligament at the same time that my arm was lifted.

“Mize, back off”

At the same time as lowering the mise beside you, the golem strikes.

The golem floating in the universe has rotated his body as if it were a solo, attacking him with his thick arms instead of blunt instruments.

The reaction isn’t handsome, but that arm shouldn’t be prevented from the front.

Quickly release the Demon Bullet as you jump back diagonally.

The ejected magic bullet could not pierce the body of a hard golem and was bounced along with a loud noise.

I don’t know to what extent the field of view of the Golem is compared to that of humans, but it attempts an attack from the blind spot. As long as we can create a gap, we can quickly defeat it with the Instant Blade, as we did with Wang Du’s guild.

But Golem quickly fleshed out here as I turned around behind him.

– Are you protecting something?

It’s more of a move that you don’t want me to move on than you want me to take your back.

The Golem is not a demon. It was created by humans when ancient civilizations lived. Then maybe its creator is letting this golem protect something.

“Mr. Tweet! Can you stop the golem from moving!?

That’s when Mize screams.

“What are you doing!

“There’s something I’d like to try!

It’s not the answer.

But I was shot in the eye with that determination, and I shook my head vertically.

Pull the impending golem to its limit and jump over it on the verge of a collision.

At the same time, he dropped his heel to the top of the head of the spinning golem at high speed.

Gong, along with the loud noise, the golem that was floating in the universe strikes both its feet to the ground. The friction between both feet and the ground slowed the rotation of the golem and eventually stopped.

Mize goes around the back of the golem in that gap and sticks his arm out.

Shortly after Mize hit the back of the golem’s head, pressing his palms – the golem lost the light in both eyes and stopped functioning so that it could drip.

“… after all, this golem works the same way”

I don’t know what happened, Mize explains.

“The golem incorporates an emergency switch that stops the function. Through magic, I tried to interfere with it.”

“… is that also the memory of The Way of Wisdom?

“Yes, I hadn’t told you yet… perhaps the developer of The Way of Wisdom is just like the developer of this golem”

In other words, “The Way of Wisdom” will be the magic created before the Second Wars of the Brave Demons.

Mize’s head is packed with two hundred years of knowledge.

“Actually, I just pushed this switch at the same time as I started, even when I was tested for basic combat power in my guild…. Now that I think about it, you cheated”

“… that would also be Mize’s strength. It’s not like I got the power to make a deal. I don’t have the muscle to be complained about, even if I use it to my liking.”

Forgive Mize for feeling a little backward, and move on.

Ahead of pushing through the narrow passageway – there was a mystical sight.

“This is-”

In a spacious underground space, plants grew as far as they could see.

The luminous green plant that lights the phosphorescent light is something I recognize somewhere.

“Spiritual grass exa…… right?

“… oh”

I nodded at Mize, who opened her eyes and was stunned.

Ganoderma exa, an essential medicinal herb for the manufacture of Ganoderma elixirs. The Psychotropic Elixir is the most effective luxury product in potions, but in recent years there has been a shortage of Psychogenic Elixir, which is the material, and there are few examples of Elixir being manufactured.

It’s a precious herb. Most people die without seeing this herb for life.

That was now in front of me, growing countless times.

“Surprised… I didn’t know there was a swarm of exa here”

“Wow… it’s beautiful…”

Mize shrugs in a trance.

It seems that the spiritual grass exa emits light in itself, and the area was brightened by its influence. The bleak road leading up to here also goes hand in hand, feeling as if we are now at the heart of a mystery isolated from this world.

“Also, can you take it home?

Mize says when she returns it to me.

Exa is an extremely difficult herb to obtain. If you sell it, you’ll get huge amounts of gold…

“No… Exa is quite special about preservation laws. We don’t have the tools, we don’t have the means to bring this back.”

Explaining so, Mize was visibly depressed.

The original aim was an august crusade for funding. If we could bring back the exa, it would help us a lot in our escape.

But I can use this.

Even if you can’t bring it back, the information that Exa’s herd of land is on the spot is of great value.

For example – on negotiating materials.

“Let’s go wild here today”

“Here, are you spending time?

“Oh. By the time it’s overnight, you’ll be pulling the chaser too”

“… it’s kind of strange to sleep beside a spiritual grass exa”

In one of the most luxurious sights in the world, it is decided to do the wild lodging.

The next day, we returned to earth.
