The inside of the pyramid.
From noble mtl dot net
When imagining the inside, one would often imagine the cold stone walls and the white bones of grave robbers lying on the floor.
A dark place with mummies popping out.
A labyrinth where strange beetles jump out and eat people, or dog-headed monsters jump out and cut people’s bodies to pieces, pulling out their hearts and placing them on scales.
Or maybe an ancient pharaoh comes out and summons a black wizard, and the priest opposing him summons a white dragon and plays a dark game of trying to bury each other?
That was the pyramid in my head. The inside of the ivory pyramid we entered was covered with grass, and the walls on both left and right sides were lined with beautiful marble.
There was a fragrant smell that I couldn’t tell if it was flowers or fruit, and I could even hear the BGM of a harp being played.
Is this really a ruin that has been dormant for over 10,000 years?
“Look at that.”
Then Brigitte pointed to something of hers.
It was a flower growing on the grass, and the form that grew in the shape of a child’s palm was very familiar.
I opened the scroll I received from Sultan Saladin and compared the shape of the flower growing on the floor with the “Flower of Mago” Drawn there.
They look the same.
The difference is that the flowers that actually grow are a pretty yellow color.
“It’s grown a lot.”
There were about ten flowers growing.
At this rate, even if you give one flower to the emperor, you will still have nine flowers left.
Suk suk.
As I was putting it in my pocket, Garot called me this time.
“Judas, look at this. “It’s a footprint.”
As Garot said, I took a good look at the floor.
Then, just as Garot had said, small footprints were seen.
There are a lot of them.
“These are the footprints of nymphs. It looks like the nymph bandits passed this way.”
It was just as Garot said.
In this scorching desert of ten thousand miles, we were finally able to successfully pursue this band of nymph thieves at close range.
To be honest, it was only a matter of time.
“It looks like it’s headed underground.”
Garot calmly chased down the nymphs.
Is it underground?
I quietly placed my palm on the floor and was shocked to feel a strong energy coming from underground.
Come to think of it, didn’t the chief of Oasis Village scare you by saying, “There’s a scary monster in the pyramid!”?
It didn’t seem like something I just said.
“There is something powerful in this basement.”
I gave everyone a light warning.
Everyone showed solemn expressions as if they understood what I meant.
A being strong enough to evaporate the ocean.
They must have realized that the entity that brought down the ancient kingdom of Babylon and caused the “Great Destruction” Might be located deep underground in this pyramid.
“Judas, in some ways this may be a childish question. “Can I ask you something?”
Brigitte asked me a question in a low voice.
What are you trying to ask?
“What is it?”
“If you fight this underground being, who will win?”
I see.
It’s not an important issue.
Salome and Iscariot both looked at me.
I tried to answer moderately, but if you ask this seriously, it’s right for me to answer seriously too, right?
“I win.”
After defeating Nocturne, I was strong.
To be honest, I didn’t even know where the limits of my strength were.
To put it simply, ‘there are no problems in the world.’
“But that won’t happen. “I don’t sense any malice underground.”
I was particularly sensitive to what could be called malice. That’s because I am a newly born transcendental person who has overcome the wall called Nocturne.
So I was able to see through other people’s suspicious thoughts better than anyone else, and if anyone had bad thoughts, I could easily notice them, even if they were as big as dust.
What I tell you is that this underground being had no malice.
On the contrary, I felt like he was desperately calling me.
* * *
“There’s no one!”
This was Naru’s impression after wandering around the pyramid for about an hour.
Naru seemed to feel quite lonely in this large pyramid.
“No one is here.” It’s a big palace. I think I’d be bored if I stayed in a place like this for too long!”
It was just as Naru said.
At first I was overwhelmed by this amazing structure, but after walking around for about an hour, I honestly got bored. Well, it’s not like there’s a huge treasure buried there.
“Why did Tywin and the nymph bandits come here?”
There must be a reason why they moved here.
If you head underground and meet an amazing being, will you be able to understand the reason?
“This…”
At that time, Hina stopped walking as if she had discovered something.
Hina’s eyes reflected the pictures on the wall, like murals drawn playfully by a child.
There were a lot of people with pink hair in the mural.
They were people who resembled Hina and Salome.
“Are you Hina’s distant ancestor?”
As I was tilting my head, Brigitte, who was watching the mural with me, came up with a small hypothesis.
“I guess he’s royalty. The decoration is different alone. It was also decorated with sparkling jewels. Marduk’s royal family seems to have been handed down since the days of ancient Babylon.”
There were people with pink hair in this land a long time ago.
Those with pink hair were mainly bowing towards the sun.
It appears that the sun was worshiped in the ancient kingdom of Babylon.
Even now, Yahbach, the god of light, is the greatest god that people believe in.
After walking for a while with that feeling, a device leading to the underground appeared. It was something like an elevator, and it was amazing that something like this was made using ancient scientific power.
Wooooow-.
When I rode it and went down to the lowest floor, I saw a wide open space.
Unlike the above-ground pyramid, which was bright everywhere, this underground clearing was dark. However, it would be more correct to describe it as a mysterious blackout rather than an eerie darkness.
“Wow─.”
Who was impressed?
I think it was probably Naru.
Naru looked up at the ceiling of this dark clearing and was very happy.
“It’s like the night sky! “It seems like the stars are twinkling!”
It was just as Naru said.
The ceiling of this basement was studded with tiny grains of salt, emitting a beautiful, twinkling light that looked as if it had been transported to the night sky.
The level was so elaborate that even constellations could be seen.
“Can I get a star?”
Naru stretches out her hand.
Soon Cecily and Hina, who were watching the situation, also stretched out their hands towards the sky.
Of course, the ceiling was very high, so the children’s short hands could not reach the sky.
The children were very disappointed, but I vaguely thought that it would be good if what happened now would become a good memory for them.
Perhaps seeing the stars today from the basement of this pyramid will be a great memory that I will never forget.
Wouldn’t today’s experience alone be enough to make you happy that you had a good summer vacation?
“It’s very sophisticated. How could humans 10,000 years ago have moved such a sophisticated sky onto the ceiling of an underground facility? Have we actually degenerated from the beginning?”
Brigitte also looked at the sky and muttered her feelings.
It was a feeling worthy of a wizard.
If I touched her butt even once, I wouldn’t notice it.
Zech.
I actually touched it once and didn’t notice.
She was completely lost.
What about Salome or Iscariot?
“No treasure? Treasure?”
Salome was busy looking around and looking for treasure. It seems that the stars in the sky did not have much meaning to Salome, who lusted after gold.
Garot was similar.
“There is something ahead.”
Garot was also looking forward rather than looking at the sky.
Did you say that Garot’s eyes can see much better in the dark than in daylight?
“They are nymphs. Nymphs are in front of some huge structure.”
Finally, Garot announced the discovery of the nymphs.
We headed there.
Just as Garot said, close to ten nymphs were seen gathered in front of a huge structure.
Judging by the fact that they had pitched a tent and lit a bonfire, it seemed like they had been camping for quite some time. It was a little chilly in the basement, but it was warm near the bonfire and cocoa was being boiled.
“Ah, Sifnoi has arrived… !”
“There are also small Koreans… !”
Dododo – the nymph thieves who came running and greeted us warmly.
“The little Koreans are so cute… !”
“We nymphs have the spirit of Hongik Nymph, which means that we should benefit the nymphs widely and at the same time cherish and care for the small kores… !”
The nymphs were especially interested in children such as Naru, Cecily, and Hina. It seemed to be true that nymphs loved children, so everyone was naturally an excellent nanny.
“Tywin.”
I called out to Tywin, who was painting the floor between the nymphs. Then Tywin seemed startled, looked at me, and slowly opened his lips.
“… “What’s going on here?”
“I came to see you. I ended up talking to my family about making you my fourth and first daughter. “It was quite difficult to get here.”
Tywin was to be my fourth daughter and also my first. Of course, I don’t know what she thinks.
The guy seemed to hesitate for a while, but then he started tracing the floor again with the stone pencil in his hand.
Now I see that the floor is full of formulas painted in white, but I can’t even recognize them.
It was a surprisingly detailed formula.
As I was looking to see what this was, Tywin said.
“This is the formula of truth that opens this door. When n〉 is 2, it proves that there are no positive integers x, y, and z that satisfy the equation xⁿ +yⁿ =zⁿ.”
It’s the formula that opens the door.
Isn’t this the same problem as Sphinx asked earlier?
Only then did I look at the large structure in front of me.
It was a door so large that it reached the high ceiling. The width from side to side alone is about 20 meters.
Wouldn’t the height be about a hundred meters?
The door was full of ancient letters that looked so incomprehensible to me.
It’s probably about the problem Tywin is solving.
“Beyond this door-like wall lies the answer I want. If you don’t get the answer… I will never be anyone’s daughter..”
Saying that, Tywin sighed after her.
He looked very tired.
Soon a nymph wearing armor reassembling a turtle shell spoke to me.
“Kore Tywin has already been solving this equation without sleep for three days and three nights… ! However, it is such a difficult problem that it is not easily solved… ! It was nice to throw a sugar rock at the Sphinx to get rid of it, but here we were completely blocked… !”
I see.
I said, stroking Tywin’s head.
“I know the answer to this problem.”
“… Is that really true? “You can prove Archmage Fermat’s difficult problem?”
“Yes.”
I moved Tywin to the side and placed my hand on the huge, magnificent door. The force felt from the overwhelming force and weight was enormous.
But it wasn’t a big deal to me now.
“Inhale—.”
Gooooo-.
Drurrrr.
As I applied force, the solid door slowly began to open backwards.
