Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1541 - 1074: The Last Thread of Hope Held Tight

"I wish to know the method to cross Nanierga."

When Reiger expressed his purpose with an extremely casual attitude, as if chatting, the atmosphere of the whole room changed.

Not only did Malfoy’s face change, but Melo and Naisa also immediately looked at Reiger sharply, all with shock in their eyes.

"Your Excellency... what did you say?"

"Wait a moment! Your Excellency, you..."

The first ones unable to remain seated weren’t surprisingly Malfoy, but Melo and Naisa, who were closest to Reiger.

The two women, unaware of Reiger’s purpose on this trip, completely lost their calm upon hearing Reiger’s words.

Yet, when they wanted to interject, Beluti had already grabbed them, stopping them and shaking her head at them.

Melo and Naisa wanted to say something, but seeing Reiger’s calm demeanor, they ultimately restrained themselves.

As for Lilicia, Jelina, Hilune, and others, they were somewhat at a loss, staring at each other.

In this situation, Malfoy put down the fire spirits in his hand.

"I won’t ask why you want to know such things." Malfoy watched Reiger, squinting his eyes, and said: "But I think you’ll be disappointed."

"Nanierga is the greatest engineering achievement in the history of the Dwarf race."

"Its purpose is to resist the invasion of the abyss."

"Therefore, there is no way to cross it."

Malfoy spoke these words decisively but failed to move Reiger.

"According to historical records, initially, it was that now-destroyed empire who commissioned the dwarven master artisans to build Nanierga as a defense line against the abyss, wasn’t it?" Reiger surprisingly brought it up, saying: "It’s said that to create this defense line, the empire completely depleted its national treasury and consumed most of the resources provided by various races, which led to the successful emergence of the defense line."

"That’s correct." Malfoy nodded and said: "The resources expended on Nanierga, along with manpower, finances, and materials reached an unbelievable level, and even our dwarf race paid a massive price, exhausting several master artisans; but undeniably, this sacrifice was worthwhile."

Being able to protect the source from abyss invasion for thousands of years, Nanierga indeed emerged very timely and very grandly.

However...

"Since it was that empire who initially commissioned the dwarves to build Nanierga, then wouldn’t that empire want to keep any backdoors, completely isolating their territory from the source, handing over their land to the abyss?" Reiger calmly stated: "I do not think they would do so."

"So, you think Nanierga has a backdoor?" Malfoy sneered: "Just based on this baseless speculation?"

"This indeed is speculation, but not without basis." Reiger tapped his fingers on the table in front, casually saying: "Everyone within the source knows that before it was destroyed, that empire was waiting for the return of the Master of the Holy Sword Moslo, to lead them to fend off the abyss and reclaim their lost homeland."

"Since they held such a wish, it is impossible for them to cut off their own retreat."

"If one day, the Master of the Holy Sword Moslo really returns, wouldn’t they have to find a way to break through the source wall commissioned to the dwarves, built with enormous sacrifices, stepping over the remnants of the giant wall, and fight their way back?"

"I do not think they are a group of fools."

This indeed is just a guess.

But just as Reiger said, this speculation isn’t entirely baseless.

Careful consideration can make it clear; the already-destroyed "that empire" if truly planning to one day reclaim their territory, fend off the abyss, and restore past glory, it could not have made Nanierga a future obstacle.

Given this, there must be a method to cross Nanierga, returning to that fallen land.

Precisely due to such considerations, Reiger came rushing to find Malfoy.

If he weren’t certain there was a backdoor left in Nanierga, Reiger might already have resorted to [Wishing upon a Star] to achieve his goal, even at the cost of valuable experience points.

"...Perhaps that empire was just driven by despair, hence the thought of constructing the Nanierga Giant Wall?"

Malfoy furrowed his brow as he argued.

"The Holy Sword Moslo disappeared along with its master for so many years, and that empire gradually perished resisting the abyss. Maybe they knew their savior wouldn’t return, and even if it did, they wouldn’t be able to see it, hence they commissioned us to build Nanierga?"

Under such circumstances, the other party might indeed not consider leaving any backdoors.

Regarding this, Reiger didn’t entirely deny.

"Such a possibility exists, but I am more inclined to believe they were still waiting, waiting for the Master of the Holy Sword Moslo to descend again in their time of greatest despair."

Speaking up to this point, Reiger’s tone also underwent some changes.

After all, he knew very well where the Holy Sword Moslo was.

Moreover, he also knew what kind of "savior" that "empire" had been waiting for, before meeting him.

Reinnaier was annihilated, becoming history along with ancient magic civilization.
