Ryan�s eyes lit up as if he had remembered something.

�I have a good idea.�If you can�t penetrate the spirit zone, how about digging into the ground yourself?�Maybe something will come out eventually?�

Sirone and Amy looked at Lian as if they were bewildered, then resumed their conversation.

�How about getting in touch with the natives?�I live with the locals, so there will be people who can speak the common language.�

�Hmm, that�s right.�But I don�t think such people know anything important.�I�d rather have an interpreter����.�

Lian screamed in agony.

�hey!�Why don�t you answer me?�Let�s dig!�

Tess intervened.

�You idiot, how do you put a shovel in a ruin that even the self-governing government can�t touch?�If you do that, you will receive a heavy punishment for damaging cultural heritage.�

After scolding Lian, she turned to Sirone.

�What are you going to do now?�

�I don�t know.�Investigation is the best, but I think it will be difficult right now.�I need to find an interpreter and I need a tribunal pass.�

�okay?�Then, I have a method I can try right away, but would you like to hear it?�

�Oh, really?�tell me!�What is it?�

Lian said with a hateful expression, as if he couldn�t be embarrassed alone.

�You�re not talking about secretly digging, are you?�

Tess desperately suppressed her anger and continued.

�����anyway.�Here�s how I thought.�While you paid attention to the ruins, I took a look around the other side.�But there is one peculiar thing.�

�What is unusual?�what is that?�

Tess scanned the surroundings with her gaze.

�Look closely at the people.�Most are tourists, but there are a few that are not.�The ones who walk in groups, are armed, and don�t care much about ruins.�

The three looked around.�Certainly it was.�There were obviously not many, but armed men were walking around.

�aha!�I see!�

�Yes, they are mercenaries.�Why are mercenaries roaming around tourist attractions?�Some of them look quite strong.�After all, there is something in these ruins.�

�And the mercenaries know that?�

�That�s right.�After all, contacting the natives takes time, and they might not talk to you, right?�But mercenaries are different.�Because the fact that you are here means you know something.�

Sirone admired Tess� keen eye.�While others were concentrating on the ruins, she was alone observing her external situation.

If you knew Tess�s origins, it was natural.�The Elzain family has historically produced numerous commanders and diplomats.�But their true strength lies elsewhere.

It was Ganja.

Of course, from the point of view of the enemy country, it was a spy, but the information that infiltrated and sent to countries around the world was making a huge contribution to the diplomatic strategy of the kingdom of Tormia. JrNovels.com
