Underground of <> in the northern part of the Kingdom of Egelea.

A new fact has emerged.

<

The old man immediately started to investigate <> using >.

<> just to the north, but this mine is closed.

The resources seem to have been depleted, the old man concluded.

>.

However, the Old Man thought that the Oefe Mine might have been dug up to its limits during the <>.

In any case, it would not affect this investigation.

<

The old man knew that there was a way to use the depths of disused tunnels as a secret base by digging or expanding them further, so he checked all 103 tunnels.

But he continues his investigations without getting tired or corrupt.

The Oefe mine is located at the northern foot of Mount Oefe.

The enemy of the <>, the <>, attacked from the north.

This means that it is risky to put the entrance and exit on the north side.

<

Now the old man decides to look for the entrance/exit or its traces.

<

Even with your operation, the difference of time required for <> and <> is 100 to 10,000 times. The difficulty depends on the size of the object in the solid.

>.

Even in such a case, you can recognize <> to a certain extent, the old man thought.

In the case of entrances and exits, <>, <>, <>, etc., can be identified.

Even if they have collapsed, weathered, or been covered by plants over the years, the man-made smell still remains somewhere.

Day and night, the old man continues his search: .......

Meanwhile, Arnold and Hannah D. were continuing their conversation with .

"...... So, <>, after finishing <>, you were sent to the front?"

<>

"Of course, not as a soldier, but as an engineer, I suppose."

"And that\'s why you were sent out as a technician, Mister Theodore, who is not an expert on the Golem?"

<

"After all, the War of Magic had a great impact on you."

<

And how did you survive the Aether Stampede?

<

Of course.

It is set to stop when the required concentration of free magical element (ether) cannot be obtained.

<

"Well, at least that long."

<<

"I guess so. I guess the was forgotten by then."

<

"Yes, I\'m glad to hear that."

At this point Hannah D. asked another question.

"By the way, how much do you know about the current world situation?

<>

"And that they are not <> but <> or <>?"

<>

"And that the Loren and the Nords are getting along well?"

<>

"I see. What about that?"

<>

Then explained the setting.

> that is analogous to an >.

"That\'s good to know."

<>, I will not attack them out of the blue>>.

"That\'s a relief. We have people from the amongst our ."

.

The <> did not react in a strange way when he heard this.

"Then, um, why did you kidnap the <>?"

Jin D. joined in at this point.

<

"In a very radical way, right?"

<>

Until I served Jin, I was working under the premise that <>, <> said.

"In other words, you were willing to make sacrifices in order to become stronger?"

"No, but considering the circumstances that led to it, I suppose it was unavoidable. I am more pleased that we did not have to make any sacrifices.

<

"But did you know the names of Rouzou Chiyoda and Tomoshide Yoda?"

"Then it\'s not surprising that you knew them."

Jin D., remembering something important here, checks with .

"Ah, then, does the name <> ring a bell?"

<>.

"Explain what you know about it."

<

<.

<

"I see... I see..."

Jin D was convinced that this was indeed the case, although he had thought that there might have been a connection at some point.

It was good news to know that had some information about Rinoura Mogi. .......
