My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I'd Open Up a Weapon Shop

Garnett, Chandler, Lionel, Hild, Ambrose from the Knights of the White Wolves.

Alexia, Noir from the White Wolf Shop associates.

From the Knights of Silver Wings, in addition to the Knights led by Carmine, Bran is under their supervision.

And in addition to the High Elf Eile who was forced to follow - another one from the Demon King Army.

"I'm still your leader...."

Demon King Army Four Demon Generals, Ice Nozzle.

He was also supposed to accompany us as part of the expedition.

"Even though Suzuri and Austri were assigned to attack forces....."

"I'm sorry I didn't meet your expectations. But I need a guide. I can't go around with lice crushing."

"I know. But why me? Your Majesty's judgment....!

Norzuli seems to have been very dissatisfied with being turned over to our unit, but this is an ideal choice if we look at the causes from the past.

If you've actually lived in the third tier before and still have the strength to enter the Five Fingers in the Demon King Army, there's no reason to refuse because you've been hurt many times.

"Luke. Looks like the assault force is ready. It's about time."

Garnett, who was watching the attackers, tells me that all preparations are being completed.

It's over to bloom standing tales at the tip of a floating island.

I turned to the Explorers, including Nolzli, and said what I had to say as captain.

"As we were told at the advance operational meeting, we will enter the city at the same time as the attacking forces, but we will act completely independently of the attacking forces. The goal is first and foremost to gather information! Priority is to obtain information on the techniques of ancient magical civilization and evidence of AGART RUM's crimes!

So I cut off my words, inhale deeply, and then declare a decisive word.

"--Explorer, let's go!

And we embarked on an exploration of downtown Floating Island.

Floating islands have cities in their center, surrounded by garden-like green spaces.

The landing site was the corner of these green zones, so Blanc's magic backing never came from Agat Lam.

But from here on out, if they don't move very carefully, they'll find out where they're using it as a base.

"--What do you mean, this is--"

― ― Such a desk theory was quickly overturned when I stepped into the city.

The first downtown area we boarded was complete (...) all (...) none (...) people.

Numerous roads and buildings made of advanced technology that closely resemble the townscapes of ancient magical civilizations reproduced by the Shen Wei Hel.

But I don't see a citizen using them anywhere.

"It's a ghost town. Norzuli, what the hell is going on here?"

"Don't ask me. Before they drove us away, ancient descendants and privileged demons should have actually lived there. Didn't you step into the city with your advance reconnaissance?

"Reconnaissance to the perimeter of the planned landing. I didn't set foot in the city, but I kept it for observation from afar... Damn it, should I have had a little more hostile observation?... no, it's results-based, that's..."

We're not the only ones confused.

In Elf's sense of time, the confusion of Norzuli, who lived in this hierarchy until a short time ago, seemed deeper than ours.

Apparently, the attacking troops who broke into the other route are also confused.

One day, Garnett, who was running up the building, came over with a report looking out the distance.

In that case, I stood up and stepped in hot when I was about to attack, but I couldn't find a key target.

Confusion is not our ratio.

"... the descendants of the ancients abandoned their flesh, and the Demon King army was defeated through the gap of the ground invasion... During that period, communication between the second and third tiers was also interrupted. Has the demon tribe left in this hierarchy been erased as an obstacle by Agat Ram?

I concentrated on the "right eye" and put my head to thinking about why the city was deserted.

"If we had wiped out the Demons, the total population of this tier would have dropped dramatically. Then it wouldn't be unnatural to abandon some islands and concentrate the population in certain cities....."

Can I have a word with you, Captain Luke?

Sir Carmine raises his hand lightly for permission to speak.

You're not trying to force me to partition here because, nominally, you're setting me up as a troop leader.

"Did you find anything?

"Rather, I feel uncomfortable. If it was abandoned a long time ago, don't you think the city would be beautiful?

If you ask, you're right.

Buildings that are not always maintained deteriorate quickly.

This is no different from the architecture of ancient magical civilization.

The magical plant reproduced in memory, the dungeon that lost its inhabitants and completed its role as an evacuation shelter, even with advanced technology, it is difficult to avoid deterioration over time.

"The Knights of Silver Wings are not only policing but also investigating crime. I'm honed in my skills and ability to observe my career patterns and the situation on the ground. Rust on building window frames, road surfaces, piping… no matter what, there's no sign of neglect."

"But, brother! There's no sense of life in the building!

Garnett stays on the wall of the building with his skill-enhanced arms, peeks into a room a few floors above ground, and reports to Carmine.

"What kind of furniture?

"Just for now! But it doesn't look like it's being used!

"I see!... I see."

Sir Carmine exhaled briefly and then turned to me.

"Captain, this is just my guess, but they probably keep this city for a while."

"... just like keeping your spare room clean?

"That's what it is. Perhaps, as Captain Luke guessed, the organization's functions as a hub are concentrated on any island. But I didn't abandon the other islands, and when things settle down, I take care of them again... in my opinion, this is the situation."

It is a persuasive guess. Perfect explanation of the situation in this city.

Then, the problem is, "Then where should I look?"

"... nozzle. Suppose they choose one of several floating islands...."

"Hmm, I don't have to think about it. It's the only way."

Norzuli looked up at one of the floating islands in space with a bitter expression.

"Centralized island (...), a central island that should also be called the capital of the third tier."
