Curious to see what would be in the chained rooms, Loria's attention was quickly drawn elsewhere. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The remains of broken tables and chairs in a building that looked like a dining room, with large blackened marks on all four walls, which Loria recognized as magic, and as she followed Isabella through it, a corridor lined the densely packed rooms appeared in front of her.

Loria looked around the room, judging from the old furnishings that it seemed to be a residential area, and she became more and more curious about who had built it for what purpose...... And what about those people? Why should they abandon this place.

"Here we are."

Isabella, who had ushered Loria into a library, looked around to see as if she was trying to remember where the things had been hidden.

The books on the shelves look a little like crumpled apples.

Loria didn't know why she was using this analogy, she walked into one of the dusty, half-collapsed bookshelves, picked up a book from the ground, maybe because it was kept in the dry ground, it had not been completely damaged, the gilded title was missing a few letters, but she could still guess that it was a book about alchemy, she wanted to open it, but found that the pages were glued together, so she had to put it back so as not to destroy the monument.

Isabella also found an iron rod out of nowhere and pried the crunchy floor up, and to Loria's surprise, there was a secret compartment underneath - a tall blonde woman dragged a small box out of it, rudely knocked the lock off with the iron bar, rummaged through it, and threw strange things that she didn't need everywhere from time to time.

Her behavior made Loria wonder - she seemed familiar with the place, and just when Loria thought she had something to do with it, she had no scruples about destroying it.

More importantly, how could the king's bequest be in such a strange place.

"Found it."

Isabella pulled out a small, almost brand new dark red wooden box from under the chest and tossed it to Loria.

The box with runes carved on its surface was not locked, and Loria's curiosity rose to unprecedented heights knowing that it was a magical item when she held it in her hand...... What will be inside?

Powerful magical trinkets? Precious magical materials? Or is the box itself important?

Loria was pitiful about the creation of enchantments, magic arrays, and magic items, and she turned over the small wooden box without seeing the reason, and Isabella on the side just clasped her hands in front of her and watched her quietly.

Having had enough of playing with the box, Loria finally opened it, but there were no seductive jewels or sparkling gems falling out of it, only a few thin yellowed sheets of paper stuck under the box, as if the wrapping paper had been abandoned on the back of a gift.

If it weren't for the strange writing on those tattered pieces of paper, Loria might have done something to buy and return the pearls...... Well, at least the box is pretty good.

Loria, who was staring at the handwriting on the paper, didn't notice that Isabella's expression became nervous.

"This is the third legacy?" Loria looked closely at the strange symbols and letters, she could make out half of them, they were Salas, but the grammar was very strange, and a few of the remaining symbols were demonic, "Metri...... The Well of Eternity...... Metri? The Well of Eternity? ”

A cursory translation could barely read the message, but Loria was intrigued by the two peculiar words, a few very old fragments, written in the way they should be part of a scroll, too old to be accurately estimated, and the magic on the box must have existed to protect these ancient fragments.

As Loria eagerly tried to translate, Isabella spoke up, "This relic used to belong to a group of mages and alchemists, and this is a relic left behind by them...... Do you like it? ”

"I don't know what it is, but it should be very precious." Loria, who was full of interest, was a little excited in her tone, and with strong interest, she kept muttering, "Metri...... Scrolls, High Elves...... Arcantics. ”

It seems that he has obtained something terrible, and there is finally a precious thing among the three relics.

"I want to trade it for something with you......"

Isabella said hesitantly, it was terrible, Loria actually saw a timid expression on her face that used to laugh at others.

"Isn't this a bequest for me?"

As she spoke, Loria closed the box and silently hid behind her, apparently not planning to return it.

Isabella shook her head, as if she hadn't noticed Loria's little movements, and she said, "The bequest is something else, I just want to exchange this box with you." ”

"What do you want to change?"

Loria wanted to hide the box in her skirt, and although she had been taught magic in a very different way than ordinary mages, she had also heard of the Metri Scrolls, a lost secret art created by a group of powerful elven mages at least nine thousand years ago.

Originally, I just listened to it as a legendary story, but I didn't expect her to see the relevant fragments...... While it's not certain that this is part of the Metri Scroll, there will be at least some hidden clues in it.

At the very least, it's an ancient document.

"......," Isabella lowered her head and was silent for a moment before saying, "Hairpin...... Hairpins before you...... If you're not enough, you can take anything from my house. ”

Her family should be referring to this ruin, and she actually unveiled the bottom line first in the negotiation...... Loria took out the hairpin from before and put it in the palm of her hand, it was indeed an ordinary and worthless little thing.

Doracelia......

Is it really good to hand over my great-grandmother's relics like this?

Loria hesitated, and when she saw Isabella's eager eyes, she became even more confused.

Why would this woman want this hairpin?

But if the hairpin had some major interest in it, why did she give it to herself in the first place? Wouldn't it be nice to hide it secretly.

Loria walked up to Isabella and asked, "Do you know her......?" Meet Doracelia...... You're not human, you've lived for many years, have you? ”

Interrogative sentence form plus affirmative tone.

Isabella just sighed, she acquiesced.

After thinking about it, Loria handed the butterfly hairpin in her hand to Isabella, "This is a reward for your honesty." ”

Isabella lowered her head and stared into Loria's eyes for a long time, and after a while, she took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket, stuffed it into Loria's hand, and said, "This is a reward for your kindness." ”

Loria unfolded the piece of paper, on which part of the will of the former king was recorded in a slightly ornate neat font:

'King Steinbled, Fritz? Hillsbrad presented the following items to Miss Loria, the Royal Librarian: first, the Shadow Sword in the arsenal, and second, my mother's hairpin......

Loria's eyes widened, and she unconsciously continued: "Third, Isabella, the royal guard, ......" (to be continued.) )
