Chapter 58 - A girl in a ruins

Seeing her eating deliciously somehow gave me a strange feeling of calm.

She devoured the fruits one by one without any sign of stopping, she made simple fruits look so delicious .

Seeing her eating with gusto, one simple question kept ringing in my head, how long actually she has not eaten?

"Hey miss, how long have you been in these ruins?"

Even though I had just taken the supplies yesterday afternoon, I had filled up a sack of food full of fruit, but in an instant this girl almost spent half of it.

Makes me think if there is anything unusual in these ruins? To make her hold hunger like that.

"Hmm ... what date is it now?"

This simple reaction has raised many questions in my mind.

Date? Why does she ask calmly dated? What does that have to do with my question? There's no way she lost his sense of time right?

Even people who languish in closed spaces can still count days. Really how long has she been in this ruins?

"If I say what date it is now, you won't reply with answers like 'you mean the era before the world tree collapsed' right?"

She could not possibly lose his sense of time unless, she was from the future, a time traveler who happened to land in these ruins, without knowing how to return, such a person was likely to have no clear knowledge of the present.

I do not consider myself special, knowing 'I have returned to the past', it is not impossible other people can do it also in a different way.

"No, wait, what did you say before?"

Seeing his reaction, it seems I just think too much. 'back to the past' could not be that easy huh?

"Nothing, forget it. I just thought how can you eat so well, you look like you haven't eaten in a long time "

"Ahaha, actually ... it's been a few days I could not eat properly"

She sounded a little awkward when she said that, fortunately hse wasn't angry, she also answered my question correctly. But from the answer, there are things that I'm curious about.

"Then why don't you come back?"

If starving, she can come back whenever she wants, then for what reason did she choose to continue to stay here?

Because she knew the entrance she could also go out using the same road, there was no way she was trapped here, someone else's footprints at the 'cave' door of the road I had passed were most likely his footprints.

There was no way she could pass a giant hole above the city.

Even if you have the same pointed ears, unlike Pixie, Elves does not have wings, at almost the same height as a 3-digit building with a floor, I find it hard to believe she will use that 'hole' as a 'path'.

"Ah ... About that, may I tell you a moment?"

Tell a story?

"Yes, no problem, even if 'not for a moment' will I still listen?"

Ugh ... I answered without thinking, I did it as if I was used to it. This conversation pattern, this sensation of deja vu feels as if I've done it repeatedly, feels a little strange.

"Either a few days ago, due to the impulsivity and ignorance of young people, we went to visit these ruins ..."

"Wait a minute"

It's not good to cut a story in the middle like this, but I have no other choice, I have to confirm something here.

"You said 'visiting' right? Did you get information from somewhere? "

'visiting' this word is used only when someone knows the place and destination they are going to, even when considering differences in meaning and language, I have other evidence that she does know the location of these ruins with certainty.

Like the use of the phrase 'impulsiveness and ignorance of youth' I get a kind of intuition that the sentence does not only refer to a young man's recklessness to visit the ruins.

"Yes, one of my friends who bought it from someone in the information merchant"

Information trader?

Hearing this, I involuntarily furrowed my brows, as I recall information that was easily bought like this was rubbish information.

Not infrequently the 'ruins' information purchased only shows a city that was recently abandoned for some reason or a city that is not related to magic at all so that it has no value to explore, this type of information is often called fake ruins.

Even if someone gets the right information, there is no guarantee that the ruins have not been explored by others.

The worst case is the original ruins that have been explored by others, which basically all the 'treasure' has been cleared and leaving only traps and other similar things.

Of course there are also some cases of someone finding gold in a rubbish heap.

The most important thing is, has Ladur also found these ruins by the same method?

At first I thought these ruins were undiscovered ruins, considering that Ladur got the results of his exploration, and when I came here and saw someone's footprints, I was actually surprised.

Now what I'm trying to consider, is Ladur also affected by encouragement? Has she been driven by a desire for revenge and accidentally found gold in a rubbish heap?

I don't think so, if Ladur becomes strong through such auspicious method, she will become a careless person and not vice versa.

As I recall, Ladur was a very careful person, apart from these ruins he had never visited other ruins.

"Did your friend really buy it from an information trader? "

"We just have no other choice, what can we do as a small group of rookie archeologists is almost impossible to get the correct ruins information"

It seems like she was a little misunderstood with my question, actually I asked just to confirm the source of the information, but instead she thought I had trouble trusting their stupidity.

No problem, however my goal was achieved.

Without even reminding her I already knew they were a group of beginners, seeing how careless they were and the fact that this girl could not see my illusory magic.

I just need to think a little to see this.

When I turned my eyes to her again, the girl still hadn't continued the story, nor did she continue the half-finished food hanging in her hands.

From the look in his eyes I could see, she was like saying.

"So is there something you want to ask again?"

She asked me to ask at the same time, which meant she didn't want to be interrupted when I told her later.

That easy-to-read expression is really cute.

"Sorry, it's okay, just continue your story again "
