Act 4: Chapter 46: 《Lavia Monolith》
After that… I went around while appraising each item with 《Akashic Record》 to find a phantasmal-rank item or legend-rank item.
Since I couldn't find anything that took my interest, I looked through the bookshelves from beginning to end.
Though some A-rank book seems to be quite valuable according to 《Alashic Record》, they range from delusional adventure stories to thin dictionaries.
「It feels like I'm inside recycle store with the smartphone in my hand…」
My hope to find something useful within the Dragon King's treasury dashed slowly.
Suddenly, a black book in the corner caught my attention.
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
【Necronomicon】《Value: Legend》
A grimoire that recorded the super rank necromancy taught by the angel to the ancient necromancer, 《Norn The Gravedigger》.
《Norn The Gravedigger》 went mad when writing this grimoire, that was the reason why deciphering it was troublesome. As if that wasn't troublesome enough, even the scholar concluded that the content of the second half of the book was completely meaningless.The royal alchemist Megistos was locked up inside the dungeon and ordered by the king he served to research immortality from this grimoire.
On a certain day after researching it for fifty years, Megistos suddenly left the dungeon, appeared before the king said 「I understand the truth of this world」 and started massacring everyone in the royal palace, and has been missing ever since then along with this grimoire.

I almost threw the 《Necronomicon》 as soon as I saw the description.
Alas, I barely stopped it since Riddler was looking at me, ready to shout at me.
Why did the book that had been missing along with Megistos who had lost his mind stay in this place?
When I turned the page, I saw the second half of the book was written 『I understand everything! Haha, serve you right!』 in ancient Lochlore's letters written with blood.
I closed the book at once.
「B-Becareful, Kanata… That book is a precious treasure…」
「M-My bad! Uhm, I'll take this one…!」
I felt like someone who accidentally damaged the store's merchandise.
That ominous-looking scribble might be written went Megistos went mad.
This was an ominous book for sure alas, it was a precious Legend-rank item.
There was nothing wrong with taking it out of this place.
Moreover, I wanted Lunaire to teach me more about necromancy alas, she seems to be reluctant to teach me necromancy.
I wanted to know more about Lunaire.
That's why I thought that I needed the knowledge about necromancy.
The reason she felt reluctant to teach me necromancy might be because she guessed my motive.
Let's read this book carefully during my spare time.
There was nothing wrong with reading the book that contained the super-rank necromancy magic.
I felt sorry for both Megistos and Norn though.
Alas, I had no item that could contain Nyarlhote—.
The moment I thought so, a black stone slab caught my attention.
Ramiel did say once before that there was a slab containing the high-rank magic used by gods in old times.
Was this the slab she referring to?
Upon a closer look, there was a picture on it.
It looked rather simple alas, there was the picture of a tall man pointing his finger at the slab.
The appearance of that man looks familiar to me.
「Nyar-…-Lhotep?」
I turned over the page of the 《Akashic Record》.
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
【Lavia Monolith】《Value: Legend》
The summoned girl with the power to see through the essence of magic, Sage Lavia analyzes the magic used by higher beings and leaves it on the stone slab.
Alas, not even sage Lavia understood the essence of the magic, even if she understood, she couldn't express it properly in the record.
The human lifespan was not long enough to complete the research.
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
Sure enough, written in this slab was the magic used by Nyarlhotep.
This might be our trump card to defeat him.
I had no idea what kind of magic was recorded in this slab though.
It was filled with strange symbols for magic formulae.
It might take quite some time to decipher this slab.
This might be barrier magic but, I need more in-depth research to confirm that.
But, it would be useful for sure.
「Riddler-san… May I take this slate?」
「Uhm… Are you sure about it? I mean, it looks like a complete, random scribble.」
Yup, I received the permission from Riddler.
I took 《Lavia Monolith》 and stowed it into 《Dimension Pocket》.
「But, I ended up taking Philia-chan's share…」
「Don't worry, Philia can't find something that Philia likes in this place, Philia is happy that Kanata can use it!!」
Said Philia happily.
Hearing that, I brushed Philia's head.
「Let's go shopping in the city later.」
「Yeah!」
With this, we accomplished the first goal of coming to Peach Dragon Village.
And managed to subdue one of the 《Invicible Hand of God》.
… All that left was going back to Polorock and explaining this matter to Rosemonde who was waiting for us there.
I mean, despite her brusque attitude, Rosemonde strangely had a strong sense of duty, thus she might still be looking for Ramiel right now.
