132 – Dungeon of the Constellation (2)
characterization.
It’s easy to recall what Tigris had in the past when he was subjected to the ordeal of the constellation in order to obtain the necklaces of Perschen and Adne, which everyone in the ordeal of the constellation recognized as Perschen’s comrades.
When entering the dungeon of the constellation, every member of the crew would be affected by the characterization.
Trisha said, making eye contact with each one of them.
“When you enter the dungeon of the constellation, you will be assigned a role assigned by the constellation. Except for Nadal, of course. In the case of Mr. Nadal, he will definitely become an alchemist Regius.”
“But others don’t know. For example, in the case of Sir Tigris, he could be the protector of the Kingdom of Male, the country in which this dungeon is set, or he could become the commander of the Knights of Griffon.”
This was the reason why it was difficult to attack the dungeon of the constellation as the number of people increased.
When you enter the dungeon, you do not know what kind of position you will receive.
Some are mercenaries, some are slaves, some are lords…
No one can predict what kind of crisis they will face depending on the role they take on, and it can change the flow of this history and cause a major setback in the capture of the dungeon of the constellation.
“Each of you will face a number of challenges depending on the character’s social position assigned to them. The key is to get out of the role as naturally as possible within at least one to three days, gather in a designated place for each team and carry out the mission.”
Trisha pinpointed the three points with a red pen.
“Team A gathers at Regius’ private laboratory, Team C gathers at the waterfall on the east side of Lake Selfs, and Team D heads to the World Tree. At that time, the beasts had established diplomatic ties with the elves, so even if the beasts go to the World Tree, there will be no special sanctions. Sir Tigris will be working alone, so the most important thing is to find the giant closest to you.”
Trisha said looking at people’s faces.
“Then, if you do not understand or have any questions, please raise your hand.”
Then, Amoris raised his hand.
“Mr. Trisha. Can’t I go in?”
“As I said before, you can’t.”
“······Sheesh.”
Amoris was left out of this raid.
Not because it was not helpful to the raid, but because Amoris could be trapped in the mysterious land with a high probability the moment he entered the dungeon.
Amoris was the only one who was alive when Regius was alive among the people present here.
This time, Linia raised her hand.
“Are there any language problems?”
“Even if the buzzwords are slightly different, the words will all work. And since the languages of other races, such as beasts and elves, are automatically translated, there will be few communication problems.”
Trisha looked around and opened her mouth.
“I don’t think there are any more questions, so I would like to make one final caveat. This is a time when giants and dragons ruled the world. People have a different way of thinking, and things that are impossible to understand from your point of view will happen everywhere. For example, monthly sacrifices of people to avoid being attacked by dragons and giants.”
At Trisha’s words, Linia trembled slightly.
He knew that human sacrifices were frequent in the past, but he never dreamed that he would actually see them.
“So, there is no need to be angry about something, and there is no need to be emotionally drained. It was just the culture and way of survival at the time. If you die or get seriously injured while helping out with a sad heart, you have to start over.”
Trisha looked at the raiders with fierce eyes and said.
“To start over means to commit suicide.”
The dungeon of the constellation can be started anew when all the raid members die.
However, it was a very big problem to have to experience death, let alone wasting precious time because of one person’s mistake.
“So, don’t get caught up in an argument and get out of your body as safely as possible. Principal Bastian has prepared several artifacts that will be helpful for this attack, so please learn how to use them all within this week. Do you know?”
All the raid members, including Tigris, nodded their heads.
“Then let’s all do well. This is the end of the briefing.”
* * *
a few days later.
Charlotte and Irene and Linia and Rain Rover were scattered on the floor of the gymnasium.
“Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh…”
The four of you were so exhausted that you could barely breathe.
Tigris pulled out his sword and looked around.
The surrounding area was a mess.
Groundwater began to flow out of the pit made by turning the ground upside down, and water began to collect, and cut vines were scattered all over the place.
Irene barely got up and said.
“Are you successful?”
Tigris nodded slightly.
“At least I won’t die in the dungeon.”
At that time, Irene was satisfied and lay down.
Tigris tested the skills of Charlotte, Irene, Linia, and Rain Rover.
In addition to testing individual skills, we also checked how well the sum was matched when working as a team.
His individual skills were as Tigris understood, but his unity as a team was beyond his imagination.
In particular, when working as a team, Linia’s change in swordsmanship was remarkable.
“Linia.”
Linia barely got up.
In Linia’s left hand was a small circular shield.
“When did you practice Wagner swordsmanship?”
Wagner’s swordsmanship was a universal swordsmanship widely known not only to mercenaries, but also to general soldiers.
In terms of knights, would it be similar to the Imperial Swordsmanship?
Among the mercenaries, Wagner’s swordsmanship was more popular than the standard swordsmanship that required the use of Aurors.
“I learned it at school. And since I’m not as quick on my feet as Charlotte or Irene unnie, I thought I’d just go out hard in this case… is it better to just make a sword?”
Tigris shook his head.
“no. Rather good.”
Tigris seemed to see a new side of Linia today.
Using a shield and a sword at the same time is more difficult than you think.
For mercenaries or soldiers who have just received military training, it is very good to use a shield.
However, if you learn the walking technique using Auror, you will naturally throw away the shield because the shield is rather annoying.
Even Linia knew that the shield was good for defense, but there were a lot of restrictions on movement.
So, using a small round shield that doesn’t interfere with movement, and at the same time receiving the Rain Rover’s ‘Smooth Wind’ magic buff, the speed did not fall behind even with a sudden position change, but rather contributed greatly to the team’s stability.
What Tigris wanted to praise above all else was that he thought about his own shortcomings and developed it.
“When the time comes later, I will teach you the swordsmanship that suits you.”
At the same time, among the swordsmanship books piled up in the Imperial Archives, there was a swordsmanship related to swordsmanship.
It wouldn’t be bad if it was modified to fit Linia’s body and taught.
Linia smiled broadly.
“yes! thank you!”
While conversing with Linia, Rain Rover poked out the fallen magical moles and the vine queens.
“You must get up now. Let’s go home.”
– Kiying…
The magic moles and vine queens entered the Rain Rover’s summoning pouch.
Rain Rover’s summoning skills were outstanding.
Monsters with higher intelligence are more difficult to deal with, and monsters that can use unique magic are even more difficult to tame.
However, the Rain Rover dealt with three magic moles capable of using earth magic and three queens of vines capable of using plant magic.
Thanks to that, Tigris seemed to be fighting 10 people at once instead of 4 people.
In addition, Rain Rover went beyond the basic auxiliary magic that Tigris taught at Imperial University, and taught him suitable auxiliary magic for Charlotte, Irene, and Linia separately.
I heard from Trisha that the four of us worked hard to prepare, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.
Charlotte took a deep breath and stood up.
“Are we tomorrow?”
“okay.”
Tomorrow, as soon as Charlotte and Irene’s final final exams are over, they set off for the dungeon of the constellation.
There is no turning back like an arrow that left a protest.
No matter what happened, this dungeon attack had to be successful.
* * *
the next morning.
When Charlotte and Irene went to the Imperial University for their final exams, Tigris and Rain Rover headed to the Imperial Palace.
Before leaving, I wanted to see His Majesty the Emperor, but the Rain Rover headed to the Treasury, not the Palace of Spring, where the Emperor was.
In front of the report, as expected, Matteo the reporter was waiting.
“I see the great golden clan.”
Matteo politely greeted Rain Rover and opened his mouth.
“Would you like to see right away and go inside?”
“yes.”
As if Rain Rover had already told Matteo, the two immediately looked and went inside.
Tigris said to Rain Rover.
“Did you not come to see your Majesty the Emperor, but to collect the relics?”
“What are you going to do, Dad? Do you know that the word “outside homemaker” exists for nothing?”
“Will your Majesty not be offended?”
“I personally saw it before because of this problem. That’s it.”
“What exactly is this problem?”
Rain Rover said with a mischievous smile.
“You can see it for yourself.”
Matteo made his way through the winding road and arrived at the front of the stairs.
Matteo said to Rain Rover.
“My Majesty the Princess. Please give me a golden seal.”
Rain Rover pulled out a small golden ring from his pocket.
The golden ring was engraved with the coat of arms of the Emperor Lucet, and Rain Rover poured his mana into the coat of arms.
Then, next to the stairs, there was a luxurious golden door that had never been seen before.
“Here….”
“It is a treasure trove that only the imperial family can go in and out. Come on in.”
Matteo handed Tigris the lamp he was holding in both hands.
“I will be waiting here.”
According to the laws of the Empire, no matter how much they reported and lost, they could not enter the 0th place report, so they had to wait here.
Rain Rover climbed the stairs familiarly, and Tigris followed Rain Rover’s feet with a lamp.
Upon entering the 0th place report, Tigris could not keep his mouth shut.
There were exactly two relics in the 0th treasury, one with a huge sword on display and the other with an antique wooden staff hanging on it.
Tigris left his wooden staff behind and headed towards the giant sword as if possessed.
It was in the shape of a giant sword that was big enough to cut even a giant’s head, and although it looked modest on the outside, it had an old-fashioned charm as if it had spent many years.
Tigris knew better than anyone what this great sword was.
This great sword was the ‘Sword of the Adversary’ used by Tigris in the final war before his return.
“How is this sword here…….”
“I’ve been here since the beginning. He was probably here when Aurome became a chimera and blew up the treasury.”
then it doesn’t make sense
When the report is completely destroyed and disappears, the relics inside will also disappear.
It was designed that way, so how could this adversary’s sword be here?
“There are a total of two ways to get to the 0th place. One is the way through the treasury and the other is the secret passage in the Palace of Springs. Perhaps when this place fell, someone took the adversary’s sword and golden thunder staff through the secret passages of the Palace of Springs.”
Come to think of it, this golden lightning rod was a relic used by the Rain Rover.
With enough mana, he overcame countless crises thanks to this holy relic, which can cast electricity-based magic at will.
The Rain Rover turned to the sword of the adversary, not the golden lightning rod.
“As you know, the sword of this adversary is the sword that killed the last giant and the king of giants, so it has good effects against giants.”
After putting on the strength-reinforced gloves that were placed in front of the enemy’s sword, Rain Rover handed the enemy’s sword to Tigris.
“Your Majesty’s Majesty said that it would be necessary for this dungeon raid. Take it.”
“Can I take this?”
“I was originally going to give it to you at the engagement ceremony, but think of it as giving it a little sooner.”
“Nevertheless, this is of the Lucet family…”
“Don’t be shy, take it. It’s very heavy.”
When the Rain Rover forced Tigris to hold it, Tigris accepted the enemy’s sword.
The feel of the adversary’s sword was the same that Tigris had remembered.
A very heavy but perfectly balanced balance, and even a sharply forged blade despite being a great sword.
If you ask me what is the most perfect sword in the world, I can’t argue without it.
Tigris continued stroking his sword without saying a word, checking all over the place.
It was so cute that Rain Rover burst out laughing.
“Did you know that while you say no with your mouth, you keep your eyes on the sword? It’s so cute I’m dying.”
Tigris poured mana into the sword of the adversary.
Then, the shape of the greatsword shrunk and changed to the long sword shape Tigris had envisioned.
“Can you make it that small?”
“It is one of the minor abilities of the Sword of the Adversary. You can also freely increase and decrease the weight. In addition to that, a sword is created just by pouring sword energy. In short, anyone who wields this sword will be able to imitate the sword master.”
As for Rain Rover, Tigris was cute as he spoke about the performance of this sword.
I wish I had more words like this.
All of the Tigris were good, but it was a pity that they were silent.
“Do you have anything to say to me, who gave me such a good sword? How many times have you begged your father for this sword?”
“Thank you very much. His Majesty the Lady of Rain Rover.”
“Just barefoot? I don’t see any sincerity.”
“How would you like me to do it?”
Rain Rover snapped his fingers and called out to Tigris.
Tigris tilted his head and approached the Rain Rover.
“It will take a month for Sir Tigris to get the right answer, so I will force you to give it the right answer. Bend your back a little. You are too tall.”
Tigris bowed his head.
“A little more.”
When Rain Rover and Tigris were almost at eye level, Rain Rover grabbed Tigris’ tie and pulled it.
Tigris’ reaction speed could avoid Rain Rover’s lips, but Tigris did not.
Three seconds, like three hours, passed, and Rain Rover grinned.
“If you avoid it, you tried to make fun of it until you die, but you didn’t avoid it, did you?”
“·················ogue.”
“You know what? Sir Tigris doesn’t say anything when he’s embarrassed?”
Rain Rover said, wiping away the lipstick left on Tigris’ lips.
“And the look is so cute. Maybe that’s why I fell in love with him.”
Rain Rover took the lamp from Tigris’ hand and said,
“Then go down. Matteo is waiting for you.”
Tigris felt as if possessed by a fox.
The man is lovestruck.
