Episode 640
The tombs and ruins of the empire were not easy places. Especially the older the place, the more so.
Tombs and ruins built in the days of the Old Kingdom were equipped with various powerful means to ward off intruders, and these measures were more than enough to tear the unfortunate intruders to shreds.
In order to break through this tomb, it was simply not possible by force. He had to be knowledgeable in all kinds of studies, especially archeology, and had the wisdom and boldness to remain calm in unexpected situations.
At the same time, I needed intuition and luck to run away if things went wrong.
That’s why wizards hired adventurers to send them instead of entering these tombs or ruins when they were discovered.
It wasn’t that he recognized and sent adventurers as talented people with the above talents, and it was because he wouldn’t get hurt even if he failed.
Gainando unknowingly hid behind Lee Han and asked Arsil.
“Is this a good place?”
“This is good enough.”
Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.
It looked pretty good than I was worried about.
“……”
“……”
Yoner carefully asked while Nilia and Gainando looked at Lee Han in amazement.
“Lee Han. What does it mean to be okay… to be okay?”
“It’s neither too hot nor too cold, right?”
To Lee Han, Arsil was a kind and kind older brother, but he was a bit numb because he had been hanging out only with spirits for too long.
If you go to a place where lava boils or your exhaled breath freezes, the human race could be a bit dangerous.
In comparison, the ancient tombs here were relatively pleasant. Other than the cool air, I didn’t feel any danger.
Kainando muttered in tears.
“Don’t come over to play.”
“What did you say, Cainando?”
“Oh nothing. Nothing.”
Nilia asked as if she still didn’t understand.
“Wardanaz. I have a question.”
“ask. Nilia.”
“This is your family’s estate, right?”
“yes. It’s out of town, but it’s also a manor here.”
“…If a tomb like this is found in an ordinary manor, shouldn’t we call in more people?”
Even if it was originally a nobleman’s estate, it was rare to find tombs or ruins there.
In the first place, it was because the more people burned, the faster the tomb or ruins were discovered.
Of course, among the nobles who had vast and remote estates, there were still people who still found tombs or ruins within their estates, but when they found them, they usually… ‘Don’t they call
more people?’
Sending knights or wizards under the family, hiring adventurers, hiring mercenaries, or at least calling the strong expert shadow patrol in the nearby mountains… When Nilia was a child, she also had memories of being begged by people from the northern baron family
.
A labyrinth was found in the territory, but the monsters kept climbing up and the retainers were disappearing.
“Originally, that’s not true.”
Lee Han nodded his head politely.
“But my family’s estate is so vast and so remote that this happens more often than I thought. That’s why I don’t call people one by one.”
Arsil nodded as if agreeing with his brother.
As any wizard knows, bizarre things happen more often where there is a lot of magic.
As the magical power accumulated in one place creates all kinds of changes, cracks with other dimensions are created, the rules of reality are distorted, and comics are brought about.
If it was a family like the Wardanaz family, one of the largest magic experiments conducted in real time in the empire, the surroundings could not be affected.
After hearing the explanation, Yoner said as if he finally understood.
“Ah, is that why there weren’t so many people around the mansion?”
“no. It’s just because my parents are annoying to have people around.”
“……”
Arsil made an excuse saying, ‘In fact, there is such a purpose’, but it did not reach his friends.
“Anyway, this kind of thing happens often in the territory, so I tend to leave it alone unless it’s a big deal. The knights will have no hands left to respond to each one.”
“What is the standard for big things?”
“Something like the Golem Rebellion?”
Nilia was speechless and couldn’t ask any more.
Seeing the face of a friend who answered as if it were natural, he felt helpless, not knowing where to start talking.
Gainando whispered as he looked at Yoner and Nilia.
“Dry! please! I don’t want to go in there! It’s not even Einrogard, why!”
“Don’t warlocks like going to the grave?”
“What nonsense! So, all alchemists like to lock themselves in their workshops and prepare materials?!”
‘I like it…’
Yoner thought to himself.
However, contrary to Gainando’s whisper, Lee Han was quite motivated.
Seeing the relatively intact tomb, he became greedy.
“older brother. How many trinkets are in there? Are there any old gold or silver coins? do you have? hey Good for you.”
Hearing Arsil’s explanation, Lee Han’s face brightened and turned around.
“Great. you. After touring the estate, can I take some extras with me?”
I was a little sorry that the friends who came to visit the mansion were constantly bored, but I was able to take a valuable bonus as well as tour the manor.
I couldn’t help but be happy from the standpoint of treating my friends.
“Lee Han.”
Gainando called to Lee Han in a thin voice.
The moment I entered that dark, open-mouthed ancient underground tomb, it seemed that I couldn’t tell whether this was the Wardanaz family estate or Einrogard.
“why?”
“……”
However, Cainando couldn’t bear to say, ‘I don’t want to go in’.
I felt the emotions of Lee Han, who was excited to give his friends a pleasant experience.
How could I say ‘I can’t get in!’ over there!
“…Yo Yoner has something to say!”
“What kind of garbage is that?”
Nilia murmured in horror.
Earlier, when Ink made Gainando the enemy of Yoner, I thought, ‘Isn’t that a bit harsh?’
“Yoner? why?”
Despite the betrayal he had just done, Gainando sent an earnest look to his relative.
please!
‘Please dry it!’
Yoner replied with a smile.
“Guinando said he was looking forward to the tomb. They say he learned to use black magic in times like this.”
“guy!”
Lee Han patted Gainando on the shoulder as if he was going to die.
When Arsil asked why, Lee Han became proud and boasted about his friend.
“Here, this guy named Gainando is majoring in black magic… Ah. Excellent. Among the students who study black magic with me, I am counted in the top five.”
“There are less than five people who hear black magic…?”
“Shh.”
Yoner covered Nilia’s mouth.
Arsil praised Gainando as if he was proud.
He didn’t know exactly what he was saying, but he could feel that he was praising him, so even though he was in tears, Gainando nodded.
“Persimmon… Thank you…”
“Kainando, you are finally starting to take an interest in studying magic. happy.”
Arsil asked, puzzled. Lee Han replied with a straight face.
“no. older brother.”
“What did you say?”
“You said you were my nephew.”
“……”
* * *
I made a fuss at the entrance, but surprisingly, the inside of the tomb was not dangerous.
There were no traps near the entrance, but above all, it was because Arsil’s ability was fraudulent.
Drooling!
Every time Arsil took a step, new spirits appeared and managed the path.
The rock spirits repaired the floor that was about to collapse, repaired the cracked ceiling, and the sand and earth spirits appeared and filled in any cracks.
The light spirits lighted the path to prevent Arsil from falling, and flew in front to check if there was a trap. If there was a trap, the spirits ran and nullified it.
Lee Han and his friends who saw it from behind couldn’t help but be astonished.
“That’s ridiculous…!”
In terms of spirit affinity alone, Nilia was one of the most outstanding axis here, but what Arsil is showing now is beyond imagination.
How could one person be blindly loved by so many different kinds of spirits?
“How is this possible?!”
“Your brother used to be like that.”
Lee Han answered with a grunt.
It was just an innate affinity that no theory or magic could explain.
Shocked, Nilia muttered involuntarily.
“But Wodanaz is afraid of the spirits and avoids them…”
“……”
“Ah. no. I’m sorry.”
“I’m okay. It’s true, but what?”
“I’m really sorry…! Sorry!”
“Because it’s okay.”
“Actually, it’s not okay! Just be mad!
“It’s really okay, so why are you angry?”
Nilia was desperate to be on the letter blacklist again.
“Is it that great?”
“You don’t know because you’re only playing with the undead because you’re doing black magic. How great is that.”
“It has nothing to do with black magic!”
Gainando, who had been scolded for asking a question, was furious.
I thought it was definitely comfortable.
Even if the undead were that respectful, it would have been worthwhile to be a warlock.
“Lee Han. Han Lee. Is that impossible with undead?”
“…Cainan Island. Are you crazy?”
“Ah no… I asked because it might be possible for you.”
Of course, Gainando knew that such a thing was impossible as an undead.
Basically, the undead were ferocious and violent beings, so it was impossible to take care of them in detail like that.
If you gave the command to the undead, ‘I’m trying to break through the tomb, check the floor, check the ceiling, and check the trap in front’, there were cases where the trap was activated on purpose.
But if it’s Lee Han…
“Not everything is possible with me. Guinan Island.”
“But Leehan, you are afraid of the undead. So I thought it might be.”
“……”
Lee Han kicked Gainando who was walking in front.
“why?!”
“Caught on a stone.”
Knock knock knock
knock- Arsil stopped and tapped on the wall of the tomb. Yoner asked, puzzled.
“How did you know there was a road in here?”
“The spirit told me.”
‘It’s really fraudulent…!’
I tried not to be envious, but as a magic school student, I couldn’t help but be envious of Arsil’s ability.
If he had that ability, even when doing alchemy, he could just summon a seasoned and excellent spirit and listen to him.
Even when reading various old books, it was enough to call a spirit who could read this language…
“This is the space where the knights who guarded the tomb stayed, and there are silver burial items and some books… Ah. Has your brother already taken the book? What book was it?”
Arsil was excited by his brother’s interest and explained what the book was.
So, once upon a time, knights told a lady at the court…
“They said it was a book written in useless novels. Let’s go in.”
“……”
Arsil was sullen, but went inside unnoticed.
In the room sat a huge rock, Hecatoncheires. Lee Han and his party were shocked when they saw a monster that could easily defeat any giant.
“…older brother. Isn’t that a hecatoncheires? You didn’t tell me because I didn’t seem interested? …Of course I like treasure more than monsters, but shouldn’t you tell me what’s there before you go into the room?”
While Lee Han gritted his teeth, Arsil shrugged his shoulders and apologized, then spoke to Hecatoncheires.
Hecatoncheires, who was glaring at Lee Han’s party ferociously, turned his head quickly after hearing Arsil’s request. Lee Han said to his friends.
“Don’t make too much noise and let’s play quietly.”
“……”
