Chapter 57 - (Remake)

Meanwhile, Alan, who had been traveling tiring 2 days 3 nights, finally arrived at his destination.

In an underground valley, he looked down at the dead city that had lost its era of glory. From the structure of the building and the layout of the city, Alan was sure the city was quite prosperous.

While sitting leisurely on a horse, he stared at the hole above the city in the sunlight of life, which freed the city from the darkness of the punishment of time.

This underground city, is a closed city.

There is no hole that can really be called a road, I can't understand how the people here used to access the outside world.

Even though I call the road that I passed before as a cave, but actually it's just the crevices of rocks that happen to fit into my body, to fit in the horse I brought I was forced to exercise a little, the result was the hole was closed instead.

The way I come back later might be a little difficult, I have to crawl or do other troublesome things.

It's really troublesome, maybe it's better for me to stay at the house of Ladur until the time limit for the visit is over, and anyway on this first world trip Gaia has an alternative way home that can make people return to earth automatically, even though the word is very uncomfortable .

I myself does not ever feel it. Because the alternative way of returning was only available in the first world visit, while on the first world visit I still didn't wake up and take the life of the Dungeon Attacker seriously.

Still on a horse, I carried him around the city, trying to do a little investigation and observation.

To be honest, I hardly understood about these ruins, aside from the fact that Ladur gained strength in the system of the gods of death from this place , so I came here without any preparation.

I know this careless act is not right, it is taboo to go to the ruins without any preparation, especially since I have no resurrection instrument as a back hand, if something happens I can only rely on my own abilities and try not to die.

Even so I was not too worried, because I could still guarantee that this place was included in the ruins with little risk, and besides that Ladur who was just an ordinary person without any ability was able to explore by himself and get results.

At least with my current ability I still say I can survive confidently.

Still, I still can't deny that exploring without any preparation is really troublesome, I can't even determine from what era I mean since when the city was abandoned, and what race inhabited the city in the past.

On planets with magic systems like this planet, too many factors can fool conclusions.

The only clue I have is only the use of the essence of the world's tree essence related to the settlement of the ruins , the problem is I do not understand what for and what is the relationship between this herb with how to resolve these ruins.

First start to pay attention to basic information first.

World tree, some ancient Elves tribe also called world tree as tree of life. Still, knowing this won't work either.

One might think of the elements of death and life as opposing elements which will always counteract one another like fire and water, but in fact it is not, or at least that's what Ladur said.

Ladur also said, that life and death are complementary elements, they will continue to make a cycle that is always repeated, even though I myself do not really understand what that cycle.

When I was trapped in this world, Ladur helped and taught me many things.

But at that time I was too idiotic to understand the importance of learning knowledge, even though I was so close to experts that strangely death was the element that I did not understand.

Luckily I have a pretty good memory, I can still remember some basic knowledge that Ladur taught.

Like for example the relationship between the elements of death and life that I mentioned earlier. After that, I also began to study other basic sciences.

I managed to learn another fact about the relationship between the two elements that was not mentioned by Ladur.

It is true that the elements of life and death are not really opposites, but it still does not prevent them from hating each other.

The spirit of the dead will generally be delivered to the underworld, but some will not and prefer to stay in the old body.

As Undead for example, they are still alive but they can no longer feel the life, the brand a can not enjoy the taste of food again, delicious sleep, sex, scratching when itchy and others.

They can only look enviously at living creatures and hate them. For living creatures the same, none of them likes death.

To vent their hatred they will hurt each other, even though they cannot hurt using elements directly, they will find other ways to hurt.

Like zombies and undead, they will chase creatures with the highest life energy, eating and absorbing the essence of life in them, even though it has no effect other than making the flesh on the body a little 'fresher'.

In the case of living things will be the same, they might not die even if they are given death energy, but if too much of it will definitely cause adverse side effects, such as a body that is too weak and susceptible to disease.

Not opposite, but will not make peace with each other.

When Undead feels the energy of life, they will act as if attracted by a magnet, and I, who brought the extraction potion of the world tree to the 'den of death' like this ruins , is not nearly as different as suicide.

I was curious about how Ladur went through all this.

"Eh who?"

When I still thought I heard the voice of a girl from one of the houses I was going to pass, from the empty door I saw a silver haired girl looking at me with sparkling blue eyes. Suddenly I immediately stopped the horse I was riding.

"Hello, miss," I say while trying to get off the horse.

The fact that there were other people in these ruins didn't surprise me, I had guessed it ever since I saw someone's footsteps on the road that I passed.

It's just that I feel the question and the fact that the girl has been surprised is a bit strange.

The trail that I saw before did not come from only 1 person, especially in the middle of this city, I think there was a group of archeologists who came to this ruins.

Secretly I began to observe the girl's actions trying to steal some information.

"Need something from me miss?"

As the word was finished, a loud roar could be heard from his stomach. The brown skin from behind the silver hair turned slightly red.

Smiling kindly I offered the girl food.

"I have some fruit, want some?"

What a beautiful coincidence, with this I don't have to bother thinking about ways to build relationships.

"En" The girl answered while looking down embarrassed.

Alright, let's get this girl spewed out all information about this ruins.
