A few days later, Sei Itō finally arrived at the capital of the NGL Republic. After booking a simple hotel to rest, Sei Itō went to the library early the next morning. He took out his hunter license that he barely used and obtained special permission. Then, he went to the basement of the library with Officer Guan to look at some secret documents.
"Is Rocodda's document here too?" Sei Itō asked as he looked at the densely packed documents in the basement, as well as the items and coffins arranged in rows.
"It's here, but you need special permission from His Majesty to view it," Officer Guan said with a smile.
"Oh? Is Rocodda's document so troublesome? "Sei Itō was a little surprised. Was it necessary? Other ruins didn't have such troublesome approval, except for the famous royal tomb. Could it be that Rocodda's ruin was close to that level?
Sei Itō's interest was piqued.
"Yes, I'm not sure about the details, but you need the King's personal approval to view the document." Officer Guan nodded. He was also a little confused, but he knew not to ask what he shouldn't ask, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Then I can look at the general information about Rocodda, right?" Sei Itō asked again.
"Of course, please follow me." Officer Guan nodded with a smile and extended his hand to show Sei Itō the way through the documents. Soon, they arrived in front of a relatively bare bookshelf. Officer Guan said to Sei Itō, "It's here. This row of documents is related to Rocodda's ruin."
"Oh, thank you. Can I view it from here?" Sei Itō asked as he carefully looked at the bookshelf in front of him.
"Of course, but please take care of the documents. Please be gentle when you take them out." Officer Guan nodded. Hunters had a lot of privileges. Most people would have to apply if they wanted to view it from here. It would be good if they could come down in half a month, and that was under the condition that they had a guarantee. Without a guarantee, they weren't famous, so they couldn't expect to find this secret document for the rest of their lives.
The officer turned around and left. Sei Itō didn't stand on ceremony. He took the slide and climbed up. He picked up the document on the top and started reading it.
No one knew how much time had passed in the secret underground chamber. By the time Sei Itō finished reading all the information about the ruins of Lolokda, a few days had already passed.
Sei Itō got up and moved his stiff body. He sighed regretfully. Although there was a lot of information, there wasn't much that Sei Itō was interested in. Most of it was just a detailed record of the discovery. Although there were pictures of some items interspersed in it, the content and items that could arouse Ito Seiji's interest were not here. However, he knew that it was probably the information in the other secret vault.
Sei Itō looked around and saw that there was no one around.
"Check with the Magic Cube and see if there are any secret rooms around us."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ripple shook the void, splashing some of the accumulated dust and spreading it into the distance. A moment later, the Magic Cube's information appeared in his mind …
[There's another secret room 30 meters to the left and about 15 meters down.]
"… That's quite secretive." After Sei Itō received the information, he muttered to himself. After walking about 10 meters to the left, he found that he had reached a wall and couldn't go any further. "Looks like there's another path to that side. It's not good to peek. In the end, I still have to check the ruins myself … "
He was a little disappointed. He sighed and turned to leave.
"Sir Hunter, have you finished reading the information?" The officer appeared at the right time and asked Sei Itō.
"Yes, I've checked everything that can be checked. In the end, I still have to go to the ruins to take a look." Sei Itō didn't hide anything. There was nothing to hide anyway.
"I see. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait a few days. I heard that a group of archaeologists will be heading to the ruins of Lolokda soon," the officer said.
"Forget it. I prefer to be alone." Sei Itō flatly refused. Then, he chatted with the officer for a while and left the library under the officer's escort.
The ruins of Lolokda were located in the Arya Forest of the NGL Republic. The Arya Forest was a dangerous place with all kinds of magical beasts and swamps. People often went missing or died in the Arya Forest.
Sei Itō relied on his skills and boldness. With the thought that the Arya Forest was not as dangerous as the Lost Beauty Wetlands, he simply bought some food and camping equipment and set off for the ruins of Lolokda.
In the forest, Sei Itō went at full speed, completely ignoring the swamps. As for the ferocious beasts, they chose to take a detour under Sei Itō's murderous aura. Even if there were one or two foolish magical beasts that came forward, they would be killed one by one by Sei Itō's newly auctioned famed sword. After Sei Itō left, the corpses that were left behind became delicacies that other animals fought over.
According to the map in his memory, Sei Itō arrived at the location of the ruins of Lolokda around evening. Piles of broken stone buildings began to appear on Sei Itō's path.
Sei Itō looked at the sky and took out a tent from his dimensional storage. After eating something, he finally had the time to look at the relief carvings on the surrounding buildings.
The contents of the relief carvings were no different from those on ordinary ruins. It was nothing more than the images of totems or magical beasts worshipped by various civilizations. Coupled with some strange plants and patterns, it formed the unique carvings of that civilization.
Sei Itō observed along the way. After finding nothing worthy of his attention, he returned to his tent and began to rest.
The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, Sei Itō put away his equipment and extinguished the flames to prevent a fire from breaking out. He then began to walk along the gradually appearing stone path to the interior of the ruins.
After a short time, Sei Itō finally arrived at the entrance of the ruins. The huge door that was as tall as three people was half-opened in front of Sei Itō's eyes. The pitch-black passage behind the door was like a big mouth that was choosing people to devour, causing them to tremble. Sei Itō held the famous sword in his hand, expanded his mental strength, and walked in.
First, it was a long passage. On the walls on both sides were simple drawings of totems. After walking halfway, the drawings began to change. The general content was some content of people's livelihood and sacrifice. The hunting group carried the prey back to the tribe. The patriarch led the tribe to a sacrificial altar made of bones to bleed and then offered their skills to the existence they worshipped. The murals here depicted the existence being worshipped as a monster with devil horns, black skin, red eyes, sharp teeth, and an arrow tail. It was as tall as four or five people.
"This is … a devil?!" Sei Itō thought to himself in surprise. Although there were similar drawings in other ruins, they were not as realistic as Rocodat's depiction of the devil. The other ruins were all painted in an abstract style.
"Could it be that Rocodat's people have seen devils before?! Doesn't that mean devils have appeared in the Hunter's World before?! "Yi Tengcheng was shocked by his own deduction. What were devils? They were creatures whose combat strength was second only to gods in various myths and legends. The powerful devils were even more powerful than gods.
"If that's the case, then the World Barrier Fragment might not be a coincidence." Sei Itō's heart was heavy as he continued walking.
The end of the mural suddenly changed. It was as if it had suddenly changed into another world. That world was filled with magical beasts, and all kinds of strange species were everywhere. There were giant ants the size of humans, tall devils, violent magical beasts, and towering trees … and so on.
"What's this?" Sei Itō was also confused by the sudden change. He frowned in confusion. "Why does it feel like a different world?"
Sei Itō could only keep his thoughts to himself and continue walking deeper. Soon, he reached the end of the passage. Sei Itō still did not understand the meaning of the murals. He turned around and began to explore the other buildings in the ruins …
The hunter was ready to scam. Ants, an outer world. If it's too much of a scam, I'll make up for it later.
