Chapter 405: 16 Year Old Inglis and the Highland on Distance Sea (14)

The next day, Inglis and her companions were escorted by First Professor Vilkin to the underground floor of the Central Research Institute. The facility responsible for producing Hyrule Menaces was located there.

Eris was set to commence her treatment within this facility, prompting their visit to bid her farewell. The initiation of her treatment meant they wouldn't see her for a year or two, making their approach hesitant. They had used a device to communicate with Special Envoy Theodore from Illuminas, receiving his approval for the integration of the new function proposed by Professor Vilkin, as Eris had requested.

Inglis was also keen on observing the facilities that enabled the creation of a Hyrule Menace, representing a cornerstone of Highland technology.

Look~ There it is~ Thats the Hyrule Menace manufacturing facility~

They found themselves in an immense underground space, its natural rock formations exposed. It was unclear from which part of the world this section of Illuminas had originated, but the cavern seemed like a remnant from when the island was part of the mainland.

The vast chamber contained a single, imposing structure.

Wh-, what is that?!

A really large stone box?

It almost resembles a sarcophagus

The stone coffin towered above them, demanding they crane their necks upward. It was difficult to encapsulate in words, dominating the underground expanse with its significant presence.

Its flickeringwith a peculiar light

As Leone noted, a subtle, shimmering glow emanated from the sarcophagus's surface.

But it feels somewhat soothing, or rather, nostalgic, doesnt it~

Its ephemeral and beautiful.

Inglis remained silent as Rafinha and the others shared their impressions. Her silence stemmed from a deep recognition; it was something ingrained in her memory as King Inglis.

Thats called the Sarcophagus of Greyfriar~ Eris will step inside for her repair and enhancements~

To think Ill enter that coffin again. I never imagined Id encounter it a second time

First Vufailbane, and now the Ravine Stone Doorartifacts familiar to King Inglis were reappearing.

Glis? What's wrong?

N-, nothing.

You're plotting something, arent you? Up to no good again?

No, its fine, Im not plotting ah.

A brilliant idea had just struck Inglis. It could potentially improve their situation

What? What is it?

No Maybe I want to enter it, just for a little while?

Hey! I knew it, youre planning something!

Catching onto their exchange, Professor Vilkin chuckled nervously.

Well~ I cant allow that~ Eris must be the only one inside during the process~ Introducing any foreign element could jeopardize the creation of the Next Generation Hyrule Menace~ We cant risk causing global trouble, can we?

Yes, I understand! Ill keep a close watch on her!

Rafinha scooped Inglis up, embracing her tightly. Inglis was like a kitten in the grip of its mother.

Please do~

Professor Vilkin offered a smile.

Inglis had anticipated she wouldnt be permitted to enter the sarcophagus. Forcing the issue could strain relations with Highland, especially since she and her friends essentially represented the Kingdom of Charalia.

Perhaps there would be an opportunity to use it in the future, though by then, the urgent need might no longer exist.

As they talked, the group approached the imposing sarcophagus.
