Chapter 218 (2/2)

『I tried searching for mana reactions within one kilometer radius, and I couldn't find a soul』

『Makes crossing all the easierbut this river looks usable in dom and Saihill Empire is about 10 meter deep

Even a mere river can be used in many hen it's this deep

『Many ways?』

『YeahSay, like this』

I conjured up a spell and dived into the river

And then I pulled the thing that was in the riverbed out of the water

『What'sthat thing? There's soic itee h to put 10 humans inside

It's sturdy and relatively newlyone of its corner

『It's most definitely a box used to transport the dolls』

『Transport the dolls?』

『YeaThey must have crammed around 10 dolls inside this box and floated it down the riverTheout of its set course』

I took out the ic item attached on the box's side and showed it to Ruli

Ruli has learned a lot about ic items, she's able to understand the content of this level of spell art just by looking

『Its basic configuration is that of an ordinary propulsion engine, isn't itIts course correction procedure is peculiarIs it getting instructions fro over there is connected hereThat part probably got bloay by a s the moment this box arrived at its destination』

I point at thecorner of the box

This part is probablynot by coincidence

It's possible to pinpoint where the dolls were shi+pped out if we could figure out instructions in the ic tool used for course correction

Conversely, there is no way to find out where the box is froic tool is properly taken care of

This river has many branches so there are many possible locations where the boxes could be set afloat

Finding exactly where the dolls fro upstream

『AhCould that be?』

While I was observing the box, Ruli said that and dived into the river

And then she ca she picked up in the riverbed

『Found it!』

Ruli shouted cheerfully while drying her wet clothes with ic stone in her hand
