Admission is for nothing (255)
Lesson 50. Dragon’s Tomb – 1
It was a grandiose play indeed.
To put it bluntly, Aneri and the other party did not think that the exploration of the ruins would end peacefully from the beginning.
To be honest, I was expecting a conflict.
The Guardian Alliance, formed by the civilizations of the thirteen planets that make up the D-13 dimension, was a no-response alliance that was famous for never ending internal conflict even after leaving the clear external enemy of dimension pirates.
Yumina had been keeping an eye on the D-13 dimension since the moment Asha became strange.
Then, after learning that he had discovered the ruins in Galahad, after consulting with Aneri, he took measures to spread rumors that there was a member of the Level Force Mercenary Corps with the power to open the ruins.
‘And they were caught well and brought us here.’
Yumina, of course, is a full professor at Union Academy, so she has considerable personal connections and information even without the president’s help.
However, the fact that she found out that the ruins were discovered in Galahad anyway means that information control is not completely done within Galahad.
Most of the members of the alliance are probably aware of the existence of the ruins.
They are the ones who stir up internal strife even when nothing happens, so how can they just leave behind a major incident called the ruins?
In fact, since the existence of the unscheduled reconnaissance ship was confirmed, it is obvious that a conflict will arise in the future.
‘The reason I’ve been quiet so far is probably because there’s no one with the ability to open the ruins anyway.’
But right now, the level force has come here.
This means that those who aim for the ruins will be able to move without hesitation.
I was confident that I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a traitor among the knights who entered with the party.
no there is
Even though he was too weak to have a relationship with him, his emotions were clearly visible.
“But how did you avoid the scout ship? If it had been shot down, there would have been an uproar by now…”
“That’s a trade secret. Then guide me to the ruins. Let’s finish it quickly before it gets in the way.”
“It is. Please, I hope you don’t break the contract.”
“This is what you’re going to do.”
Even before entering the ruins, Ban Yu-Won, staring at Aneri and Crown Prince Rosius, who were keeping each other in check by firing sparks, alerted the entire party by electronic call to those who were judged to be enemies among those present.
―It’s not a big deal if you look at the force, but since you don’t know what they’re hiding, you should subdue these guys first in case of emergency.
-Who is that man?
Ban Yu-mi’s question was not transmitted, but her intention was transmitted resonantly only to the party with the same prominence.
A method of communication that is overwhelmingly more stable than the transmission target that can be transmitted.
Indeed, it must be that the teenage family has developed because they have this ability.
―Rosius didn’t lie when he talked to Aneri earlier. However, it seems that he has no intention of properly keeping his contract with us.
―If you’re rotten, then what does it mean that you negotiated with your sister even fighting?
Selden’s reply was also not transliterated.
A magic that is more violently implanted in the brain, and is probably close to the category of telepathy.
It is somewhat surprising that Seldon, a pirate who is hard to find in his manner of speech and behavior, deals with magic, but on the contrary, if he had no special abilities, he would not have been able to get a place in Crimson Spear.
-That’s camouflage. In case of breach of contract, the responsibility falls on the one who reveals his true intentions first.
―It’s possible because you don’t know that there is a master key here. Whoops.
While having a sharp confrontation with Rossius at the head of the party, Aneri skillfully intervenes in the conversation between the team members.
In principle, this was a technique close to transmission.
Master Key Ban Yu-won replied with a smile.
―Don’t interfere and play well.
―Of course, that is basic. Among the countless Ninbeop (忍法) skills I have learned, there is one that divides the heart into two.
Aside from the fact that Aneri’s fraudulent nature was gradually revealed from the start of this quest, I decided to deliberately ignore it because it seemed that she was slowly revealing her true identity.
“From now on, let’s get on the wagon and move around.”
“That’s fine, but you’re not thinking of dragging the knights all the way there, are you?”
The landing place of the spacecraft was also a remote forest, but the place Rocius was guided to was even more remote.
Aneri frowns at the carriages waiting in line.
On the other hand, Rossius responded leisurely.
“I have no intention of bragging about the fact that I am exploring ruins. But as you have experienced, there are no perfect secrets on this planet. So, we plan to split the group in the middle to confuse those who pursue us.”
“Hmm.”
Meanwhile, Yuwon Ban felt the vibration of the broken pieces of the cross inside the inventory getting stronger.
It seems that the closer you get to the historical site, the more violent the reaction… Ban Yu-won pretends to be an ordinary commendation and confirms it with Lilith, who is in his chest.
‘Can’t I get a rough idea of the location of the ruins if I calculate this backwards?’
[I already finished the calculation and sent Tike upstairs. Oh, I think I found it?]
Everyone in the family is so competent that Ban Yu-Won has no time to do anything.
Ban Yu-won checked the coordinates of the place that Tyche sent through resonance and said to Aneri.
―Now that we have the coordinates, let’s move on to space movement. He says he will use space magic from now on while maintaining great form.
―No, how did you get the location of Yuwon-nim’s ruins? I don’t know because I’m usually in Union, but it’s not a skill that can come out from a lower dimension.
―People from lower dimensions can’t even open ruins.
―That’s right. After all, Yuwon-nim is the best.
When Aneri, convinced of the anti-yuwon logic, conveyed it as it was, Rocius burst into laughter.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! If you can move directly to the ruins, what reason would you refuse! It’s a funny joke, but no matter how good your mercenaries are, it’s only possible in a teenage family…
”
The most important condition when applying space magic to others was cleared, so there was no need to hesitate anymore.
In fact, the other knights except for Rocius had so little magical power that they could be drawn into space magic without performing such skits.
――Shuuu
The next moment, the six members of Banyuwon and the four knights including Rosius, a total of ten people, reached the ruins with building materials scattered here and there.
From the outside, it doesn’t look like there are any ruins, but as soon as you arrive at this place, Rocius’s expression hardens, so it seems you’ve arrived properly.
It was a little funny that the other knights were frozen as if they had no energy to speak of.
“What is this… how?”
Rossius was dumbfounded and muttered something he couldn’t understand, but hurriedly checked the three knights who came with him.
All of them were knights he did not normally trust, and that was because the anti-yuwon, who knew that they were all traitors, deliberately picked and brought only them.
“This is… Damn it. How else did you know that this place was a ruin?”
“That’s great. You said you could open the ruins. As for the technology related to the ruins, this side has an advantage.”
Aneri, who was about to reveal her true feelings by casually nodding at Rossius’ words that aroused deep sympathy, hurriedly changed her words.
“It would have relieved the worry that our movements would be exposed as we wished, right? Now go into the ruins.”
“No wait. Damn it… Kkeuh There’s a strong knight among those I left behind.”
“A strong knight? Even jokes.”
Fortunately, Aneri, who had returned to her original relaxed appearance, snorted.
“When we look at it with our own eyes, it is there. Moreover, unless you break the contract first, I guarantee you won’t get hurt inside the ruins.”
“…”
Rossius felt that he was getting involved at this point.
However, it is also true that the current situation is a perfect condition for him, who is betting his country’s fortune on the exploration of ruins.
Finally, he nodded, closing his eyes tightly.
“Go in.”
He hired his knights to remove some of the rubble, and a stone staircase leading to the basement appeared on the floor.
It was a stone stairway of a different age from the surroundings, which made us feel the age of eternity.
Rossius was in the lead, with one other knight beside him, and the other two went behind the half-yuwon party.
As they descended the stone steps, Aneri sighed and asked him, feeling the unpleasant stares on the back of their heads from behind.
― Yoowon-nim, did you bring only suspicious children to prevent information from being leaked?
– of course. There’s no need to go around advertising the fact that you know how to teleport. They all die in here.
– Ugh. If you talk about killing your son so easily, it scares the mother.
― Isn’t that the DNA passed down from your mother?
― Yumi, what did you just say?
Leaving the two people who started a mother-daughter fight, Ban Yu-won shared all the information he found out in a short time with the rest.
―As everyone knows, there are forces that have already entered this planet. Some of those knights have tools installed on their bodies that transmit their location the moment they die. So when they die, it’s a mess from that moment on.
―There is no point in hiding something in front of the young master.
―And… I want all of the ruins to be eaten by us. Let everyone move with that thought in mind.
―You should just kill them all.
puck! Aneri suddenly hit Sheldon in the back of the head.
Aneri calmly replies that there were bugs in the frightened knights.
Sheldon, a pervert who is resentful but shows signs of liking very slightly.
Ban Yu-won began to worry about whether this mercenary group would really be able to destroy Prominence.
“This is the entrance.”
After walking down the stone steps for more than 10 minutes, a huge door finally appeared in front of them.
A door made of an unknown metal that proves to be a trace of an ancient civilization.
It absorbs all magic power and physical shock, and has stood there for hundreds and thousands of years without ever aging or being destroyed.
“hmm.”
Aneri winked at Banyuwon.
The eyes of the knights, including Rossius, were focused on Ban Yu-Won, who had been buried in the middle of the party and stepped forward for the first time.
“Leeja used that space magic earlier…”
“Get out of the way because it gets in the way.”
The moment Rosius was pushed away and Banyuwon, who was seated in front of the door, reached out and touched the metal door, a string of complex concepts swirled around and conveyed information to him.
Of course, the heaviest concept was the seal, and rare metals formed by combining several concepts were also visible, but more important than that was the cross that vibrated like boiling in response to these concepts.
Ban Yu-Won secretly took it out of the inventory and pointed it at the door.
-Authentication failed. The master key has been compromised. Please recover after going through another authentication process.
A mechanical ancient language echoed throughout the space.
Of course, it was an ancient language, so no one could understand it except for the semi-amusers.
“really… You react.”
“A member of the mercenary group who is not so famous with this ability?”
Rossius and the knights, who accepted this as proof that the seal was successfully lifted, looked at Banyuwon with their eyes wide open, but even so, there was no way to find out his personal information now that he was protected by a mask.
‘A master key, was this really the key?’
Well, even in cartoons, there are many cases where the main character’s initial equipment is the key to entering a high-tech facility.
After all, Asha is the same as the main character of this dimension, and the necklace that Asha was wearing around her neck was both a shackle and a key item that restrained her freedom.
So, this development is rather natural!
Moreover, although I am not sure, it seems that some of the metals that make up the metal door match the metals that make up the master key in Ban Yu-Won.
‘Let’s open it.’
It’s simple if you just open it.
The concept of the seal that makes up the metal door is extremely hard, so Ban Yu-Won couldn’t just take it out, but he has the world’s artifact Seal Ring.
When I brought it to the door, the concept of the seal that formed the door was naturally disturbed and released, and eventually, guided by his power, everything was absorbed into the ring of sealing!
Ring of Sealing [Sealing 850 Amplification 100 Enhancement 100]
In the process, all the concepts that make up the Ring of Sealing have grown significantly!
The metal door that was standing tall in front of Ban Yu-Won’s smile of conversion lost the concept of the seal that maintained its durability and collapsed.
But in the meantime, all the concepts that formed it flew into Banyuwon and were sucked into the cross in his bosom.
Liberation of the soul [Bonghon(封魂) 1000 Perma(破魔) 500 Ancient Knowledge(古代知識) 500]
The cross was returned to its original form… no, it was even before Asha’s time when it was made!
―The master key has been restored. Please restore the items consumed in the process before it is too late.
Ban Yu-Won didn’t step out and do something.
Just as he opened the door, the protocol designated as the top priority for this facility—“recovery of the master key”—was executed, and the ancient metal blocking the entrance was consumed to restore the cross!
‘Amazing, Great.’
At the point of obtaining the upgraded Sealing Ring and the release of the Soul, an overwhelmingly high-ranking artifact that even faded, Ban Yu-Won could have made a U-turn and returned to school, but… How many treasures are there at the entrance
?
Ban Yu-won gulped down his spit so as not to be noticed and looked back.
The rest of the group of nine were staring blankly at him.
“egg plant.”
He declared in the most blunt voice and entered the wide open ruins.
Others simply had no choice but to follow him in a daze.
