"After we dealt with the warship, we immediately explored the ruins.
Our investigation revealed that those armored warriors had already excavated the outer layer of the ruins and entered the interior.
However, we discovered a seal inside.
Thanks to the seal's restrictions, the ore vein's energy remained abundant, with no sign of leakage.
But that same seal also made this ore vein extremely difficult to develop."
With Ōnoki leading the way, the group entered the ruins.
Ōnoki pointed at the seal's core in the center of the ruins and spoke.
"To develop this ore vein, we need to deal with this seal properly.
Without undoing it, we can't effectively extract the ore.
But if we simply undo it, I'm afraid the ore vein's energy will rapidly dissipate."
Amado Sanzu also examined everything before him with curiosity. He was quite interested in ruins and ancient kingdoms.
"You don't need to worry about the seal. Just leave it to me."
Tetsuya was quite skilled when it came to seals.
After all, his mind held a vast wealth of knowledge, though most of the time, his clever brain told him to simply use his superpowers to solve the problem.
But deciphering seals was like doing a newspaper crossword puzzle for him.
"Come on, let me give you a live demonstration."
Tetsuya walked over to the seal's core and circled it.
