I Can See Your Code

I see your code (88)

The entrance to the ruins was very small. It wasn’t decorated with anything special, and it didn’t look like there was anything special about security except for the Guardian. Even from a distance, you can think of it as a simple rock, so I can understand why this place has not been discovered until now.

The terrain to approach was too rough, and from a distance it must have looked just like a cave.

Anyway, unlike the plain and shabby entrance, the inside was incomparable to the outside. Conceptually, the difference is incomprehensible.

“Isn’t the inside cleaner than I thought?”

“… … Is that the first thing you see?”

Do you put the interior in front of it that looks several dozen times bigger than the entrance?

“Then what should come in?”

“It’s the size. Obviously, the inside is much bigger than the outside.”

“Looking back, that’s it too.”

Reynol glanced around once and shrugged.

“Well, it’s an ancient ruin. There is nothing very surprising, is it?”

“… … .”

I think I’ve adapted quite a bit to this world, but there are parts where the point of view is unusually large like this from time to time.

In my head, I know that ancient magic is involved… … Doesn’t it feel different when you see it in person?

I don’t understand it, but it’s not a problem that requires convincing, so I just turned it off.

Instead, I handed Reynol the mask and took the tarnhelm out of his backpack and put it on.

jing.

The feel of the helmet disappears with a slight vibrating noise.

Rinol, who was watching from the side, burst into admiration.

“Is that an artifact that changes the look I was talking about before?”

“yes. How am I now?”

“He doesn’t look very cheap and he looks like an old-fashioned old man.”

“Perfect.”

He smiled happily and continued walking.

Soon after, instead of a stone wall, an inner wall made of a smooth material appeared.

To be honest, it looks like concrete, but… … More importantly, the traces of destruction engraved around it.

“I think we fought here again.”

“Rather than a battle… … I guess I just broke the trap and left.”

“Why do you think so?”

I walked into the center of the hall. And rubbing the largest engraved mark, he said.

“If there is a battle, usually there should be a lot of wounds carved on the wall, but most of the traces here are concentrated on the floor. It was probably a trap with a spear coming out from below.”

“… … Did you, by any chance, even explore the ruins before you met me?”

“Why do I become an apostle, then a prophet, then a ruins explorer?”

I shrugged and looked around.

“More than that, we need to decide where we are going.”

Here, there were a total of four passages in a round, circular structure. In front of each of them stands a statue holding a sword, an axe, a mace, and a staff.

Is it like a riddle this time too? I frowned slightly. I don’t like that very much.

At that moment, Reynol, who was looking up, called me.

“Rian, come here.”

“What did you find?”

“yes. over there on the ceiling.”

raised his head. Surely, something is written.

[Here are knights, warriors, paladins, and wizards.]

[One in four of these people is a liar.]

[Of the four passageways, only the passage where the liar stands is the true entrance.]

[On the other three passageways, only death awaits.]

[Then who is the liar here?]

[Knight: A warrior or a paladin is a liar.]

[Warrior: I am not a liar.]

[Paladin: Knights are liars.]

[Mage: A knight or a warrior is a liar.]

“… … .”

Reynol raised her head for a while, then frowned.

“Again, this is a quiz question. I can’t fix this by breaking it, what should I do?”

There’s nothing to worry about.

“I’ll go first.”

When he responded indifferently, Reynol gave a surprised expression.

“The knight? Have you already solved it?”

“no. I think people just went there.”

I said looking behind the statue.

[PT-T][PT-F][PT-F][PT-F]

In the passage behind the warriors, paladins, and wizards, False, meaning lies, floated, while only behind the knights, the TRUE code, meaning truth, floated.

“… … They must have been in there for a long time.”

“It’s not the first time I see something like this. Stop it.”

As he spit it out and walked away, Rynol followed him with a trembling look. Did it go like that for 10 minutes? We arrived smoothly into the next room without any disturbance.

“… … .”

And since then, Reynol has followed me without a word.

“Things like that come to mind today.”

“What do you mean?”

“It is said that if the body is bad, the head suffers.”

Isn’t it the opposite?

Anyway, we cross about 10 more rooms similar to the previous one, and we are in front of a large cavity.

Inside, Calpheon’s party and Sylvester’s mercenaries, who arrived first, were seated.

When they came, they were mixed up regardless of whether they had a sense of camaraderie or not.

No, you just don’t have the energy to ask for something like that?

Each face is on the verge of death.

We decided to hide behind the wall and check the situation.

“What? A ruin explorer with 20 years of experience? The title of relic hunter is not worth it. The mercenary Jill is doing the same thing after all.”

“Ah, it looks like my head is going to be scaly, so please shut up your mouth. What kind of conscience are you talking about while pretending not to be? … .”

“Did I solve the two in the middle? Aren’t you the one following me?”

“That’s a magic-related problem, so it’s inevitable, and did you bury the 10 things I solved before that from your memory?”

… … I don’t know if that’s a friendship or a bad relationship. Curious, I pulled my head out slightly, but all the expressions on her face were harsh. They even throw off their shaky appearance and slowly start to unite with each other.

The conversation level went down to the level of elementary school students, so I wondered if he was joking.

“Do you know how many times I was wrong out of those ten times? How many times did our troops nearly die because of that? … .”

“Oh my gosh, I know this has never been like that. And, didn’t you say that we never followed? Why are you blaming me for almost dying?”

“… … Shut up, go away You’re not actually Artifact Hunter Sylvester. Otherwise, there would be no way to get lost.”

“Well, there has been only one mystery-type ruins site other than this one. The ruins of the Titan ‘Origin’, which was previously designated as a national treasure in Argon. I’ve never been in there. At least there are such types, so I learned them in advance, so this is enough, otherwise you wouldn’t have even passed the entrance yet.”

“Looks like there’s something stabbing you. I saw her mouth grow longer.”

“What and how?”

The two got up and started pointing their weapons at each other.

… … It hurts to see more. I looked away from there and turned to Reynold.

“I don’t think we have found the artifact yet, so let’s wait and see.”

“… … OK.”

Reynold shook his head as if he was surprised by their conversation.

The nerve war between the two had come to an end, and they were all sitting down and resting without a word. Sylvester was also frowned upon.

Yesterday I noticed it from afar, and now there is no sign of that. It’s not that I’m intentionally ignorant, it’s that I’m really tired and I don’t have the energy to do that.

Thanks to this, me and Reynold were comfortable leaning against the wall.

How much time has passed

A sign of movement was felt in the square.

“Hey, let’s stop moving.”

Sylvester got up from his seat, spreading his headlights.

The knights and wizards of Calpheon saw it and their eyes lit up.

“Where are you going?”

“Go far. You guys are so funny, don’t you see that there is only one place to go?”

Sylvester pointed a finger to one side. There was a gate large enough for almost one boat to pass through.

“Are you blind, or is your head blank? So, good luck. I will go first.”

“Stop.”

The knight stood up and said.

“No matter how you look at it, there must be a place where the relics are located. Why would you go into such a place first?”

“Oh, I didn’t know you were going to be so ambitious. Then I’ll yield to you, so you go in first.”

“… … .”

The article didn’t answer anything.

You’re probably thinking of the traps you’ve been caught in. If there is such a thing, the person who enters first has to be hit directly with it.

The wizard looked at the knight pathetic and stood up.

“The pros and cons are clear as you go in first and go in late. So why not go in at the same time?”

It seemed fair at first glance, but Sylvester frowned.

“How do you two know how to hit me at the same time? I don’t do that.”

“Are you looking at the pride of a knight in water?”

“I think everyone in the world has the pride of sucking a wizard’s ass.”

The knight pulled out his sword with a bubbling face. Seeing this, the wizard frowned and raised his hand to stop it. visor. The sword is returned without a word. Sylvester snorted.

“Cry or not. I’m serious about sucking your asshole.”

“Don’t provoke any more. Would it be okay if the two of you and our driver enter the same room?”

“Fish oil, do you want to go to a safe place, wizard?”

“It’s not for my safety. It’s common sense that the wizard is in the back. Don’t you even know?”

“The wizards tell me to be unlucky by saying that sound confidently.”

Sylvester shrugged.

“Well, if that’s the case, it’s fine. I like it too.”

The compromise was reached in a dramatic way and proceeded quickly.

Sylvester and the knight approached the door and began pushing with all their might. Perhaps it was surrounded by magic power, the huge door opened little by little with a squeaking sound.

Next to him, Rinol said with a worried look.

“Aren’t we supposed to go out soon? What if there are artifacts as soon as you enter there?”

“it’s okay. Because Skid Vladnir isn’t in there anyway.”

As I spoke calmly, Reynol tilted her head.

“There is only one door leading to another place from here, so where the hell are you?”

“excuse me.”

I said, pointing to the empty ceiling above the cavity. Reynol followed my fingers, moving her gaze, and said in a hoarse voice.

“there? there’s nothing A flying boat isn’t a boat after all, is it? It wouldn’t be the right size to be in a place like that.”

“It’s a small boat. Now is.”

“… … Now is?”

I shrugged at Reynol’s words. Even so, it wasn’t something I could understand by explaining it.

Even now, the code for Skid Vladnir was clearly visible in my eyes.

[AF-3]

A coin-sized figure flying in the air. I glanced at it and chuckled.

Another feature of the ship was that it could be resized at will.
