My mentor used to be so busy translating the books of the Old Empire that he was completely exhausted. He had found many knowledgeable scholars but it was all in vain. And you actually…"
Reiner sweatdropped.
What the hell is this? It’s a sacred blessing.
Junice is really hard to fool...
"Not all of them, just a few words here and there."
"Really?" Junice bent down, put her face close, and asked sincerely.
Norah's inner voice drifted over, having been silent all the time.
(She's so close...)
Reiner continued to deal with it: "Really, I'm not lying to you, I'm the most honest person."
Junice observed him carefully for a long time before speaking: "You have so many secrets..."
At this moment, the old farmer across the street spoke again: "Mr. Reiner, can you help me?"
Seeing an opportunity to change the subject, Reiner quickly returned the book and said, "No problem. Just send me a request and we'll go look for it right away."
"Okay." The old farmer turned and walked towards the counter.
Reiner said to Junice beside him: "Lead the way, guide."
The four of them quickly left the city.
On the way to the ruins in the south of the city, Nora scouts ahead while Reiner Junice and Martina stay behind.
The journey was smooth and they successfully arrived at a wilderness in the south of the city.
Reiner looked around and saw nothing but weeds and forest nearby. He asked in confusion, "Where are the ruins?"
"The Lost City is underground." Junice stepped on the compacted soil on the ground.
"Should we start digging now?"
Junice was amused, she reached out and patted Reiner on the shoulder: “You are such a humorous man.
There's usually a strange kind of magic stone near ruins. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary stone, but it's covered in all sorts of magical symbols.
After saying that, she used her staff to push aside the grass and led the way.
Soon she found a stone that had been eroded by wind and rain for a long time. There were indeed many crooked symbols engraved on it.
“This is the entrance to the ruins.
Also, after using the magic stone, you can't use it again within a short period of time. You need to wait for a while before using it again." Junice taught carefully like a teacher.
"Reiner, remember the teachings!"
"Why are you so serious all of a sudden? I don't understand you." Junice smiled and bent down to blow away the dirt on it. "Let's go in when you're ready."
Reiner turned his head and looked at the two animal-eared girls.
Nora and Martina are ready to go.
"Anytime."
Junice nodded and took Reiner's arm.
The two looked at each other.
Reiner asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me?"
"I wanted to ask you something." Junice looked at Nora and Martina and said in fluent Demihuman language, "It's best to have physical contact with each other when entering the ruins, otherwise you might be teleported to a different location."
When the two animal-eared girls heard this, they ran over happily and followed Junice's example, holding Reiner's hand.
"It doesn't have to be like this. As long as Nora and Reiner are in contact, it's okay for you to hold Nora's arm, Martina."
"oh."
Martina finally loosened her arm around Nora.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Junice placed her hand on the magic stone...
