After another day of continuous journey with small breaks in between, they finally arrived at their destination.
It was the ruins where he was teleported to this world. The place where they were summoned by that damnable goblin, Cursaac
Tristan finally went back to the place where he first arrived.
"Here we are, the Ruins of Aesir."
"Ruins of Aesir?"
Tristan asked Serene once again to make sure as its name was exactly the same as the title the barbarians gave to their god-like warrior. Recalling the seemingly unbeatable figure at that time, Tristan's eyes turned sharp as he scanned the entire area with his gaze.
Oblivious to Tristan's reaction to the ruins' name, Serene proceeded to explain about the matter. "There are three known ruins in the Arcadian continent and all of them were called the same as the ruins of Aesir. The ancient record that I saw said that it's been here even before the elves arrive to this place."
"Oh, right. I also heard there are a few more of this kind of ruins on the continent across the sea." Serene added at the end.
Without further ado, the three rode into the ruins - the dome-like facility.
The moment they entered, the sight that greeted them was exactly like what Tristan had expected. The half soccer stadium dome was completely filled with bones, rotten corpses, and patches of dark surfaces.
The air smelled so bad that Tristan had to cover his nose. Otherwise, he would throw his entire worth of meal out.
"Why didn't you guys clean up the corpses?" Tristan asked, only to find Serene looking at him with a gaze that said 'are you serious?'.
Apparently, she was kind of surprised by his question as the elves had no custom to bury other corpses besides their own kind. Therefore she found his question to be weird and thus, the reason for her current expression.
Seeing the weird look that she gave him, Tristan shook his head and walked toward the center of the facility. There, he once again saw the 10 meter tall black stone, where a bird-like symbol was engraved onto it.
If what Serene said earlier was true, then this black stone must have come from the time before the elves set foot here, which was an extraordinary fact itself.
Once again, Tristan wondered what connection that goblin, Cursaac, had with this place.
With Serene who knew about the place's history and Chieng's knowledge, Tristan began to pull the pieces together as he could slowly see the whole picture of what had happened.
From Chieng, he found out that the goblin was apparently a notorious galactic criminal, and known to cause trouble across the planets. This also meant that the goblin came to this place not too long ago.
This deduction could be further strengthened by the current situation of the facility itself. Half of its entire structure consisted of ancient-looking material, while on the other side was actually part of the goblin's large flying ship that landed on the place - according to Chieng's words.
As for the black stone that stood tall in the center, Chieng assumed it to be either a transportation device or a beacon.
Before they ventured further to the remaining goblin ship, Tristan realized that there was no trace of orc corpses, which was weird as he remembered there should be some around. He was sure there were at least a hundred orc corpses that should have existed as they died thanks to the huge battle between him and the space knights.
While Tristan was wondering where those bodies went, it was actually Chieng who cleared his suspicion. He told him that the orcs' bodies had higher metabolism growth, which in return resulted in a much faster decomposition rate.
As Tristan's suspicion was cleared, the trio swiftly went toward one of the doors which were already part of the large spaceship. Soon, they started exploring the place inch by inch.
"Go find anything useful, Chieng."
Tristan sent the space knights' mechanic to venture the ship, searching for anything valuable. Meanwhile, he himself went toward one place that he liked to check.
The laboratorium. The place where his own body lay the last time he saw it.
After walking through several doors, Tristan eventually found it. A pile of bones that had slightly decayed with rotten mass scattered all around. He could no longer differentiate which one was his and which one were Desmond and the other captive.
Tristan was crouching there for a moment, looking at the pile of bones with complex emotions in his heart.
"What is it?" A soft voice was heard from the side, where Serene was standing.
Tristan didn't even turn his head to her and said, "A piece of the past."
The female elf seemed to understand what Tristan meant as she decided to also crouch next to him in silence.
Moments later, Tristan finally stood up and casted [Heat Touch]. In an instant, the remains were eaten by the blazing fire and reduced into ashes. The fire was so fierce that it was enough to make the room full of smoke, causing Tristan and Serene to walk out.
A while later, the two met with Chieng again, who returned empty handed. It seemed that there weren't really any useful things to loot as most of the structure that was left were the ancient ones.
Tristan wondered if the elves who came with Serene at that time were the one who looted the entire place. For a moment, he wasn't sure if he should ask him this, but ended up asking it anyway.
Unfortunately, Serene said she wasn't sure herself as the group was split up at that time and she was part of the group who went out to chaser the goblin and him.
However, she told him that if there were indeed something that was worth noting, normally all the items would be delivered to the Arcadian Kingdom's capital. To be sent to the Arcadian King.
Hearing that bastard's name again and having nothing to loot irritated Tristan to the core. But then, Chieng suddenly told Tristan something that managed to light his eyes.
It was indeed true that the goblin ship was gone as it was used for fleeing, but there was still the space knights' ship which crashed when they entered the planet, and Chieng could lead them to the crash location.
"That's a freakin good news Chieng! Let's go! Lead the way!"
