Chapter 78
[A Dungeon?] - Armveil
"With a capital D. And it’s the whole capital to boot." - Garami
The day after we had defeated the horde of undead mooks, I activated the communication magitech I had gotten from Armveil before we left.
It’s a wonder of an item, only made possible thanks to the combination of the R&D1 department and vice-leader Blott himself. Many would kill for one of these, as communication across long distances is difficult to implement without the necessary skills.
On a side note, they supposedly tried to set up communication towers before, but they were all destroyed by monsters. Something about the signals attracting monsters. This led to people forgetting about phones for a while, but the R&D has done the impossible. Their creations are still only prototypes, and the portable types, like this laptop-like invention right before me, can only be used once.
[...If that is true, then you’re right that the value of that place’s going to break the roof. But, do ya got some proof for that?] - Armveil
"I’ve got five reasons to believe this:
"First, the ’artifact’ mentioned in the legend has a high potential to be a Dungeon Core with a Death attribute. That would explain why the ’wild undeads’ can be considered ’different’ from the eyes of the natural undeads here, who were ’born’ due to the miasma leaking from the Dungeon.
"Second, the undead horde was armed with Demonbane weapons. Meaning they have someone who can create them, along with knowing there would be a demon among the natural undeads. This further strengthens my belief in this place is a Dungeon. One that specializes in treasures and undeads." - Garami
Dungeons can recreate almost anything that exists on Terra Sol, excluding certain masterpieces, such as special swords only smiths can create after putting several years’ worth of blood, sweat, and tears, behind their work. I hope they’re too expensive to mass-produce...
"Third, the ’barrier’ that the natural undeads are using as a safe area... is a Safe Area for real. The kind that one can find sometimes in Dungeons. No Dungeon-related personal can enter the place, but one can’t attack from inside the barrier either. " - Garami
