Chapter 601.2
I’d never talked about this with anyone outside my family, but I was originally from another world, and in the dungeon I could use other world's technology as well.
This world itself, [Dominus], and [Dungeons] were essentially the same thing. The only difference was the scale, so they should have been able to do the same thing here, the origin of [Dominus].
So if they had wanted to, they could have used more modern technology. They just didn't.
It seemed that they deliberately began with a stone-built civilization, developing everything from scratch rather than importing fully-formed technology from another world.
Sure, there were Ancient Golems and the city itself was remarkably advanced, but… maybe they just couldn't resist the urge to check out these shiny technologies.
Either way, it was a super civilization that suddenly appeared, so there must have been a lot of technology that disappeared without being passed down to future generations.
And with that in mind, I went on alert.
"–Here come the golems." (Yuki)
When we reached the same location as last time, the golems appeared in the same way. The samurai robots were there too. They were used as a set here.
However, what was different from last time was that they didn't notice us.The armor seemed to be working properly, as the golem's face-like part turned towards us, but then turned to the other direction without any reaction.
I knew this would most likely happen, but wow, it was impressive. I was amazed at how we were able to camouflage ourselves like this in such a short time.
Everyone looked a little nervous, but when they saw that the golems didn't seem to care about us, they seemed relieved.
If our plan had failed and the golems guarding this place had become hostile, it would have become a life and death situation. It was no wonder that everyone was so tense.
"… Let's go, you guys. Just don't let your guard down. Tools are just tools. Don't be overconfident." (Yuki)
And so, we proceeded through the sewers.
We occasionally bumped into golems, but we slipped past them and headed deeper and deeper.
It wasn't a straight path, but a complicated one, and that was where the Sakuya radar came into play.
Just like up until here, he pointed out the way accurately, and no one doubted it as they followed my son.
Actually, the Demon King, seeing the radar in action for the first time, looked deeply intrigued, but he didn't ask any questions.
As we continued on, we eventually came to a staircase leading up and a door at the end.
Just like up until here, I took the lead and climbed the stairs. I opened the door at the back.
"Are we… inside the castle?" (Yuki)
I had half expected it to be the case, but it seemed that the sewer had led to that castle after all.
–An abandoned castle.
Countless torches burned steadily along the walls, their light filling a spacious corridor. The ceiling rose high above, stained glass glittered on the walls, and a rich carpet stretched across the floor.
For now, there were no golems around. Nothing triggered my vigilance.
Perhaps they were deployed from elsewhere, like an armory.
"… Everything seems fine. You can come here now." (Yuki)
At my call, the others stepped through the doorway.
"Is this really…inside that castle?" (Finar)
"Ah. It seems like the sewers are connected to this place after all." (Yuki)
"… The magic energy here is incredibly dense, far denser than the outside world. If this was normal in the Age of the Gods… I wonder how strong the people who lived here must have been." (Finar)
"Well… with such dense magic energy, I think even ordinary people would have outstanding magic abilities." (Yuki)
I looked at Sakuya.
"Sakuya, where do we go next?"
"Au!" (Sakuya)
"Okay, this way…" (Yuki)
"… I'm starting to want to ask about your cute son's mysterious abilities." (Finar)
The Demon King muttered to himself, and I shrugged.
"I can't really explain it. We just call it Sakuya's radar. We don't know how it works. Only God knows." (Yuki)
We followed Sakuya's directions, but soon reached a dead end.
The first thing we saw were four huge doors.
Each door had some kind of symbol painted on it, some symbols were also painted on the floor.
Was this… a puzzle to solve…?
There was also something that looked like a mural that seemed to be a hint, and this area looked like a place that required some brainpower to solve.
"Ahaha" (Yuki)
"What's up?" (Finar)
"Well… I was just thinking that this place is full of fun." (Yuki)
To prepare such a vast chamber and use it just for puzzle solving… It was impressive. Maybe I’d try making something like this myself someday.
"Now, Master Eldogalia. Looks like this is your team's chance to show off their skills–" (Yuki)
"Ahh! Uhh!" (Sakuya)
"–Ah, I'm sorry. But it seems like my kid has already figured it out." (Yuki)
"Haha, that can't be helped. I guess we might have to retire at this rate." (Eldogalia)
Sakuya pointed at one of the doors. Just like so far, that was probably the right answer.
Sorry, the creator god. Probably Gaia, the earth goddess.
My kid… had some kind of mysterious power that was helping us. While I'd really like to use our brain here, I would cheat too if I could.
