Episode 162
Klein guided them inside.
Unlike the other stairs, the lowest floor had only one long passage, and the place they were heading was the end of the passage.
Klein walked down the short passage and gave a detailed explanation of the ruins.
“You know that the seal of the ruins is divided into two major parts.”
The ruins where the guardian sits and the ruins that test the tester’s knowledge.
In general, large-scale ruins can be seen as a mixture of the two. The same goes for the ruins I went to practice at the academy .
“There was a lot of damage to the bottom floor, but in the end we succeeded in excavating it safely. But…”
Her steps stopped.
They reached the door at the end of the passage.
Allen looked at the door slowly and frowned.
“What is this?”
The material of the door was heterogeneous.
Unlike its surroundings made of steel, pipes, and teeth, the door was made of stone, and a picture of an old myth was engraved on it.
In the center of the door, there was a hole that looked like a key.
“I don’t know why there is a seal on this ruin that only seems to exist in ruins related to the World Botanical Garden.”
It was certainly strange considering that the ruins were usually excavated according to the theme.
“But why do you need the blood of the Fairy King? And this hole… Am I right?”
Allen’s gaze turned to the painting on the wall.
A man in a crown had a cut in the palm of his hand, and his arm was thrust into the door.
“After analyzing the drawings and writings on the door, we came to the conclusion that the blood of the fairies was necessary. But…”
Klein blinked and one of them walked out.
The thin man untied the cloth covering his head. Then he exposed pointed ears like Inelia. He drew one of her daggers and asked her to look at her.
“Can I start?”
“Yes, please. Sarian.”
champ-
He made a small cut on the palm of his hand and stuck his hand in it like a man carved into the wall.
The wall that vibrated for a moment vibrated as if it was about to open, then stopped as if nothing had happened.
The elf called Sarian pulled out his arm again, as if he had done it many times, and poured out the potion.
“Thank you, Sarian. I’ll tell you the potion I used, so make sure to get it again.”
She turned to Allen again and opened her mouth.
“As a result of the experiment, it did not react to any blood other than the blood of the fairy. It was the same when the third prophet stopped in the middle to check it.”
At that time, the strength of the vibration became stronger and the door moved, but it did not open in the end.
“It’s called daisy, but… after trying over and over again, I found out what’s inside.”
non-airline.
A relic that has been frantically searching for in the Empire and has been trying to restore it ever since.
“So, if it’s Inelia-sama’s appearance yesterday… it’s possible.”
Allen turned to Enelia with a look of understanding.
A small light flickered on the bracelet and spoke to her.
[If you are anxious, you do not need to do it.]
But Enelia proceeded without hesitation.
Standing in front of them, she changed her appearance just like the one she had seen yesterday.
The gray skin, twelve pairs of wings, and eyes were divided into compound eyes, and the atmosphere had changed so much that it was hard to recognize that it was the same person as before.
“Oh… that one.”
“Will it be this time?”
“Of course, because the apostle brought him.”
Not paying attention to their words, she pulled out a dagger and cut off the palm of her hand.
Then, without hesitation, he put his arm through the hole.
The stone gate, which had been shaking for a while, became stronger and then suddenly stopped.
“••• Is this the end?”
Just when the others looked at the door with curious eyes, a pupil appeared behind Inellia.
“Allen, isn’t it dangerous to reveal that here?”
‘She must be thinking.’
I don’t think she did something like that for nothing.
As if to prove Allen’s guess was correct, she used the power of the Fairy King.
A huge sense of intimidation emanated from the summoned eyes behind her back. Then the stone door vibrated again.
Deaf and deaf-
The door began to open as if by force.
“•••Also.”
“I’m going back now…”
However, the speed of the door opening was too slow. The door, which opened at the speed of the slugs crawling, as if not in a normal way, stopped after five minutes.
Enelia unleashed her transformation and took a few steps back with a pale complexion.
Priest Elena opened her mouth slightly and stopped.
“Inelia-sama! It can be fully opened in a little while, so why…!”
“Elena, stop it.”
She stopped the ignorant young priest as Allen greeted her without a word.
“◙
As Elena covered her mouth with both hands, Klein sighed a little and turned her head to Allen.
“I’m sorry. I’m worried that I may have put pressure on you by giving me unreasonable expectations.”
“No, that’s fine. And…”
As Allen’s gaze turned to the stone gate, the eyes of others followed him.
“It doesn’t seem like a complete failure.”
The gate of the stone gate stood still, unlike the rotten roots. Seeing the strange heat in their eyes, Allen said calmly.
“It looks like it will open completely with just a few more attempts.”
Since then, Enelia has been in and out of the lowest floor once a day.
“Oh…! Now, ahh, just one more week…”
“There will be an opening for one person to pass through.”
“After all, the apostle had a plan.”
On the fifth day, Allen looked at the gap that was now wide enough for a small animal to fit in.
Inside, a faint light did not darken the space, and in the center of it, a huge airship was waiting for its owner, with only dust piled up.
The moment Inelia finished her work again, the floor shook again.
“oh.”
Allen supported the neighbor who was about to fall.
“••• Thank you. Apostle.”
Sarian, who had been demonstrating to them a few days ago, was an elf, but had no essential abilities for elves, including elemental magic.
That is why I have been discriminated against.
Elves are generous enough to embrace half elves, but that doesn’t mean complete equality.
It just makes a place for them to live on the other side of the forest.
Even if it seems to give equal rights, there is inevitably an antipathy for life expectancy and lightened blood.
Among the elves, Sarian is a being with abilities inferior to that of a half elf.
He was shunned by the elves knowingly and unknowingly, and he became an opponent to show off his accumulated sense of inferiority to the half elves.
so he ran away
And came to the ring bridge.
“No, there’s no need to bow your head like that just holding on to you.”
Allen said so and released his arm.
‘By the way… :
He questioned the shaking as if the fortress cycle had become more frequent.
Considering the materials and minerals needed for a city of this size, and the several layers of fortress walls that were pulled out of the ground a few days ago, it must be true that the ground layer has weakened.
‘Is it usually just shaking like this and the end?’
There were no accidents that occurred because the ground was dented or because of frequent earthquakes.
Even the undead attack periodically, and the floor there never collapsed.
‘and…?’
Allen turned his head at the sudden gaze and saw Enelia approaching in front of him.
She looked at him with strange eyes.
Then he spit out a word.
“I almost fell.”
Allen thought for a moment, then nodded.
“I’ll take care of it next time.”
Sarian, who was by their side, understood the strange master-slave relationship different from what he had seen in other humans.
The Apostle’s handmaiden is also special, so there is something they don’t know.
Except for the time she went to the ruins, Allen spent her time blocking the undead.
A large army of undead attacked every two days, and a small group wandering around, I don’t know where so many corpses appeared, but they suddenly appeared when the time was right.
Allen thought that it would be better to destroy the main camp, and pursued them all day long, but without much profit.
After that, I’ve only been defending by killing all the people who come.
“Why didn’t there ever be a stronger enemy?”
‘Up until yesterday, they said it was cool to kill enemies easily’
“That was yesterday, and today is today, right?”
Allen swung his sword, not responding to her whim.
Jotunsverd Four Seasons Kaltnifl
It swept away all the undead that remained in the cold mist. They tried to struggle somehow, but the Four Seasons attacked the dead more deadly.
They couldn’t stand it any longer, and they turned into ice statues and rolled to the floor.
“Whoa.”
Allen looked at them and increased the size of Bestla.
As he swung the giant sword that had grown to the extent that he could handle it himself, the statues that had filled the surroundings shattered and sparkled with small pieces of ice.
Allen confirmed that there were no undead left around and kicked the ground.
As he returned by jumping over several layers of the fortress walls, the members of the fortress shouted with cheers.
“Thanks for the favor!”
“Apostle!”
Allen accepted their greetings familiarly, and finally turned to the man who called him.
As soon as he made eye contact with Allen, he opened his mouth.
“A dry wave is waiting for you. Please come as soon as you arrive.”
As he nodded, the believers around him also stepped aside without blocking their body.
When Allen followed him to the front of the hut, he bowed his head and went straight to the other side as if he had work to do.
As he arrived at the door, he heard a voice from inside.
“It’s open.”
Allen saw the mermaid flapping her tail in the bath tub.
“It’s a little late this time. Don’t let the apostles be lazy.”
Allen stared at her and shook her head.
Originally, her role was to do what Allen does now.
To meet a large army of undead in place of broken metal that is difficult to use. But she lived on the bottom of the sea, and it can’t be easy for her to move on her land.
There are few sources of water here, so it was difficult for her to show her stamina.
Soaking in the water tank right now is because her skin should not become dry due to the nature of her race.
“•••You look good.”
“It’s nice to be able to rest thanks to the apostle.”
Allen put aside the useless argument and brought the matter to the fore.
Meeting her was his first request.
“So what are you going to do now? Tomorrow the ruins will come and be completely conquered. What I want is….” “
“I will hand over the airship to the apostle when I want. Did you come to inquire about it?”
She answered neatly, as if she was not interested in the treasures the Empire wanted.
Seeing that, Allen pulled out another last thing.
“Do you know… by any chance, the name Aveline?”
The moment she heard her name, she paused, waving her tail leisurely.
She turned to Allen and opened her mouth. In Allen’s eyes, her body was a little stiff.
“Does the apostle know the saint?”
“I found out.”
“•••If you know the destruction of the future, do you also know information about the future?”
Her eyes lit up for a moment, but then she turned her head.
Then, as if he had stopped at some point, he swung his tail again and opened his mouth.
“Aveline is a saint raised in our school. One day, she suddenly ran away.”
Her expression and actions were all the same, but… Allen felt that she had given her pretty heart to her Avelyn.
“I don’t know why he ran away. One day, he read an old book that came into the main sanctuary and disappeared.”
“Aren’t you planning on looking for it again?”
She looked at Allen as if to understand the meaning of the words, then shook her head.
“I’ve already left. The saints are also well aware of our sexual intercourse, so they won’t be arrogant for nothing. If it wasn’t for the apostle, I’d have tried to find it…”
I don’t think so now.
In fact, it was Allen who stopped the attack the Circle Bridge was trying to cause at the Academy.
Allen asked something else, as she didn’t want to bring the story up further.
“Then can I know about the old tome?”
“It’s probably the first thing she knows about it…because she took it with her.”
“Then, do you have more to say?”
As Allen shook her head, she dipped her head under the water.
In response to the act of telling him to leave on his own, he left the hut.
‘now… /
As long as the non-collinearity is secured, most of the planned work is almost complete.
Now, at the academy, you can refer to the information in the black book, maintain close acquaintance with Kim Woo-jin, and grow the power that has been created in this way.
‘And Heisel.’
I needed to meet him and talk to him properly.
Allen finished thinking and went home. Today, I was going to think about how to get Julius back.
So Allen went to bed after researching the new role.
And that night.
Kugugugugugugugung-
The whole city shook and fell from the bottom• The city began to sink halfway underground.
