Time-Space Transfer Device
With the Guildmaster's cooperation, I began thoroughly researching literature on Atlantis's “Time-Space Transfer Device.” After meticulously analyzing vast amounts of data, I discovered what appeared to be the device's blueprints, existing in several fragmented pieces. The blueprints were written in ancient Atlantean, and deciphering them took considerable time. However, with the Guildmaster's assistance and by drawing upon my years of cultivated knowledge of ancient languages, I managed to grasp the overall picture.
The device apparently requires complex magical circuits, crystals engraved with geometric patterns, and the bodily fluid of a specific magical creature. That creature is a legendary being known as the “Time-Manipulating Dragon,” and its bodily fluid is called a “Time Fragment,” an extremely rare substance.
“A Time-Manipulating Dragon... Where on earth could it be...?” I muttered. The Guildmaster frowned as he spread out an old map. “...According to records, this dragon was once said to dwell in a land of extreme cold known as the ‘Eternal Glacier’... However, this information is centuries old, so it may not still be there...”
“The Eternal Glacier... That would involve considerable danger...” I murmured, gazing at the map. An adventure in such a frigid land would not be easy, even for someone immortal like me. Yet, unraveling the mystery of this spacetime transfer device would be a crucial step toward deciphering the message from the Creator of the Universe and uncovering the secrets of the Atlantis civilization.
“...Mitam... Are you certain you wish to continue this adventure, knowing the dangers?” The Guildmaster asked, as if confirming my resolve.
I nodded without hesitation. “...Yes... I will never give up until I unravel this mystery...” My words carried unwavering resolve. The Guildmaster accepted my determination and nodded quietly.
“...Understood... I too shall journey with you to the ‘Eternal Glacier’... But remain vigilant... The dragon that manipulates time is an exceedingly dangerous entity... We must prepare thoroughly...” With that, he began preparing for the adventure. Grateful for his words, I began my own preparations. The adventure in the Eternal Glacier... It would mark the beginning of a grand journey filled with unknown dangers and new discoveries.
