Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 1114 Exploring The Golden Pyramid

Chapter 1114 Exploring The Golden Pyramid

??-----

After I helped them sort their things inside of Glutton, each of their possessions inside a bag belonging to each person marked with their slime for "scent", the slimes felt satisfied. Many of them decided to move back to the Oasis and regroup with the rest of the Slimes we rescued, but a couple remained with us.

It was a tiny golden slime and a slightly larger green slime. Both were rather peculiar. The golden slime had a piece of the green slime inside, and the green slime of the golden slime. They seemed slightly calmer and smarter than the rest too but weren't the chief.

"Well looks like most of them left. It's just you two." Pyuku laughed, patting the two. The slimes bounced around and produced tiny tentacles out of their bodies, pointing at me.

"Oh right, introductions, my bad." Pyuku laughed. "These two slimes offered themselves to help us explore the deeper areas of this pyramid. They're a couple, meaning mates. Do you see the colorful spots inside of them? Apparently, mates share a tiny piece of themselves with one another, which marks them as a pair. Eventually when they want to reproduce, this piece inside of them mixes with another piece of themselves inside and gives birth to a slime egg that later hatches. Once it hatches the slime emerges out of our body… naturally, or something, I don't quite get it."

"Um alright, I didn't expect you would go in so much detail but thanks?" Celeste wondered.

"It sounds interesting." I said. "And it is so cute they're a couple! For how long have they been together?" Pyuku asked them after hearing me.

"They said that 108 years." Pyuku said.

"WOW!" Mist gasped. "That's a lot of time! I'm so happy for you!"

"They're cute! And there are little spirits around them too." Lara nodded. "They're trustworthy fellas."

"Well if Pyuku trust them then of course they're trustworthy." Aquarina nodded.

My mother was simply listening while exploring the village in detail, and then walked back with us, she seemed rather pleased we had two guides here with us now. She nodded, crossing her arms.

"Nice to meet you two, my name is Faylen. I am a Saintess down there, and also I am quite interested in exploring the ancient texts written in these walls." My mother introduced herself.

"They say they already know your name…" Pyuku giggled. "Ah, but their names. Right, our culture usually doesn't pick names. We can simply tell from one another through scent. But if you were to call them by names… The green one prefers something like Emerald, the golden one, Sunshine."

"Okay, gotcha." I nodded. "Anyways, Emerald, Sunshine, how much have you explored of this place?" The slimes talked with Pyuku and then he translated to us.

"They said they have explored this area for almost fifty years now, with the help of a larger team that decided to not participate now." Said Pyuku. "They have gone until the very last floor. This pyramid only has two more floors beneath. But all of them are apparently full of dangerous traps and monsters. But a lot of the shiny things they got were from treasure chests."

"A lot of treasure chests, you say? And traps protecting them…" My mother analyzed. "I see, this pyramid must be some sort of storage facility then! They're the rarest of the ancient god civilization's temples. But the most prolific in terms of treasures."

"Storage facility?" Mist asked. "What does that mean?" We continued discussing as we made our way through the corridor the slimes guided us through. My mother was pleased Mist asked, she loves to explain things and showcase her vast amount of knowledge.

"Well, I already gave a brief explanation that these temples were left by the Gods, right? Sometimes they were giant airships that could traverse the stars. Such starships, as we'll call them, were very, very big, and had many sections." My mother explained. "Some sections involved the creation of new organisms, the experimentation on creating new organisms, the specialization of new items, the creation of new sources of energy, and so on. Amongst them, the rarest area within these starships which hasn't been recovered by them yet would be the storage facilities. Due to how precious they were, most of them were retrieved already, but there's a few around. This one is one of them!"

"So it's a place where they store stuff?" Celeste asked.

"Yes, pretty much. They stored their most precious materials, items, relics, accessories, and so on!" My mother said. "A literal treasure trove. Though I am not really interested in the monetary implications, and more into what we could learn out of those materials and their inscriptions and principles. The creations of Gods are much different than our own craftmanship. We are still too far behind in terms of technology, even with the help of magic."

"So mom's big plan is to somehow copy the god's technology?" I asked her.

"So mom's big plan is to somehow copy the god's technology?" I asked her.

"W-Well, come on now, dear. Don't say it like that…" She laughed a bit. "But maybe… yes, perhaps. It is still a very distant dream. But we elves live long lives, so I thought it wouldn't be bad to dedicate a good portion of my lifespan to something that could one day help us defend ourselves better against future menaces, such as Evil Gods… Or well, the Gods we worship themselves."

"T-That's a really ambitious thing!" Mist said. "Interesting… But I don't know what I would do myself…"

"Yeah it's a bit confusing. Like, how do you decipher technology?" Lara tilted her head.

"Hahaha, well, it's not something you should be worrying about. If we find something nice and useful I could also gift it to you." My mother nodded.

As we walked downstairs into the second floor of the pyramid, we found ourselves in front of a large hall. It had three corridors at the end, and a golden altar in the middle.

"Emerald and Sunshine say that this is the forked path, as they called it." Said Pyuku. "Each path leads to a perilous area full of traps, but they're also full of treasure and shiny things."

"Is there one path you haven't explored yet?" Asked my mother.

"Yes, they say they haven't explored the middle path!" Pyuku nodded.
