188 – Pyramid (1)
Chester and Monia, who spent about a month training with Urgo, were finally able to hear from Urgo that they were ‘pretty strong’.
Of course, Chester was already recognized by Urgo from the start. So, to be precise, it is right to see this evaluation as being given only to Monia, not Chester and Monia.
Anyway, it took me a month to get this evaluation. The location of the oasis changed about six times, so I had to spend time moving from place to place in the desert in search of the oasis, but I was able to get the recognition that it was okay to enter and exit the pyramid in a much shorter time than Urgo had thought.
“Monia, it’s pretty basic.”
“No matter what happens, you need to have strong legs and back, so I focused on training them.”
It was thanks to Chester’s steady raising of Monia from the island.
Of course, it would be difficult to say that she is strong if evaluated objectively. Perhaps even a guard in a suitable town could defeat Monia.
However, at least he was strong enough to use several tools to help Chester between battles and not hold him back at the same time.
“Then let’s go.”
“Oh, wait. Let’s prepare separately.”
“What preparation?”
When Chester quietly signaled to follow, Urgo told the nearby warriors to remain still and followed Chester.
“… … .”
Jahan, who had been watching the situation, carefully started following the Chester family and Urgo.

“… … ruler.”
And Chester, who judged that he had been away from the village and the training place of the warriors to some extent, looked around to see if anyone was around and took out what he had been hiding deep in his backpack every day.
“Here is this.”
Next, Chester took out a bucket of water made from the scales of his wide feet, spread a cloth on the ground, and placed the items he had hidden on it.
“What is this?”
“It’s a thing called grace from the top. It is a mineral from the great lake at the top of the floating island.”
“favor… … .”
“I’ll show you something amazing.”
Chester said that and cut his palm with a knife.
“hey!”
Urgo was taken aback, but Chester didn’t care about Urgo’s reaction and brought his bleeding palm to the blessing at the top.
How long must I have left my wounded palm on the grace of the top? When Chester removed his palm, to his surprise, the wound that had been bleeding until just a moment ago had healed to the point where a skin film formed.
“… … Right.”
Seeing that, Urgo nodded in agreement.
“This is the secret to how quickly you recovered from such severe wounds.”
Even Urgo found it strange. How did Chester, who suffered a level of wounds that he had to fight at the crossroads of life and death even after taking good care of himself for a few months, recover quickly and challenge himself again?
The secret was here.
“yes.”
Chester said that and showed the water bottle.
“From now on, I’m going to pour the grace powder of this peak into these three water bottles.”
“Are you asking me to make powder? I think you know the power of powder.”
I showed it like this, but it was strange that I couldn’t infer it. In other words, Chester’s words were this.
To use the grace of the top and carry one spare life for each person.
“yes. It’s hard to do this with me and Monia.”
“I get it.”
And Urgo, who brought an ax to pulverize the grace of the top, had a hunch.
‘hard!’
It wasn’t impossible to break if you tried to break it, but it was hard to believe that it was a simple ore.
Moving the ax lightly would not break the grace of the top, but would damage the axe, so Urgo gave strength and began to rub the ax into powder with the grace of the top.
Fortunately, when Urgo’s strength was added to a sturdy axe, the grace at the top smoothly turned into powder.
After preparing up to three bottles of grace powder at the top, they really moved to challenge the pyramid.
And after the Chester family and Urgo disappeared.
Jahan, who had secretly disappeared somewhere, was in contact with other desert tribes. In the past, they tried to make friends with Urgo on the pretext of a trial, and planned to contact Chester to attract them to their side.
“Are the great winds and desert demons really leaving for the pyramids?”
“Yes.”
“… … The scout’s report also said they were going to the pyramids, so that’s probably right.”
They, the wise camel tribe, tried to recruit Chester, but after recruiting Jahan, they realized that Jahan had a lot of dissatisfaction with Chester and decided to use that heart.
A young, arrogant, yet bent down warrior! It wasn’t too difficult for them to penetrate and capture their weakened hearts, and Jahan, acting as a straightened warrior after his duel with Chester, gained more trust from the Scorpion tribe under the sand and gained more information than before.
The information flowed to Jahan passed to the wise camel tribe, and finally, when Urgo and Chester, the biggest obstacles, disappeared, the wise camel tribe prepared to eat the scorpion tribe under the sand.
“How long will it take to come?”
“No matter how great the wind and the demons of the desert are, to do so, you will have to bring warriors, not scouts like us.”
“As the desert changes, the positions of our tribe and your tribe have moved a lot, so it will take some time.”
Give the information to the tribe, get ready, until the tribe comes again to attack the scorpion tribe under the sand… … .
“It will take a week to ten days. Until then, hide it well and be prepared.”
“I get it.”
Jahan nodded and turned around.
Taking turns, Jahan looked at the tents of his tribe in the distance.
It was the arms of the tribe he was born and raised in, but that didn’t matter.
‘I’m strong.’
Pride.
‘Everyone said that.’
Oman.
‘But he suddenly appeared!’
jealousy.
‘Even though he’s leaving anyway!’
No one saw Jahan as special anymore.
Everyone cared about Jahan, who was horribly defeated by Chester, and deliberately distanced himself from him for the pride of Jahan, and didn’t bother to mention strength or Chester, but Jahan wasn’t mentally mature enough to accept such consideration. .
He just thought that the people of the tribe had started to turn away from him. He seemed to think that he was no longer special, that he had no value, that he was just an ordinary warrior.
Jahan hated it so much.
So, I held on tight.
In order to erase the tribe that does not acknowledge oneself and start over.

“We have to dig down here and find the entrance to get in.”
After reaching the pyramid, Urgo put out one side of the pyramid in front of him and pulled out a shovel while saying that to Chester.

Likewise, Chester and Monia pulled out their shovels, put Ant and Rex aside, and started digging hard in search of an entrance.
Fortunately, the sand of the Land of Immortal Gold is as soft as water.
Even standing still, the terrifyingly soft and fine-grained sand that your body would slowly fall down flowed down as if quicksand was created just by being poked with a shovel.
Thanks to this, the three men, who started making holes by digging up sand instead of scooping it up with shovels, were able to find the entrance to the pyramid faster than expected.
“If this were the case, I might not need a shovel.”
“No, the shovel will be used for climbing. When going up, it is not easy because you have to climb this easily collapsing sand.”
“Oh, is that why the shovel is slightly bent?”
“yes. To use it like a hook.”
As they spoke, the three of them brushed off the sand from all over their bodies. In the process of digging down, how much sand had gone in, there was already a thick pile of sand at the feet of the three of them.
“What is missing?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“How are Rex and Ant? Are you both okay?”
“It’s okay!”
– Bruise!
“Every time I hear it, I think, but that wolf behaves like a dog… … . Was the wolf right?”
“Oh, would it be? I’m a hunter, not a zoologist, so I don’t know the finer details of wolves and dogs. do you know?”
“I don’t even know… … .”
As they talked, the three looked at the exposed entrance of the pyramid.
“What a huge entrance. Why is it so big?”
“Isn’t it made big to look majestic? You don’t have to make it big for any reason.”
“Ah, it could be. It’s a building made entirely of gold. Could even the emperor live inside?”
“Then is this an adult? It is an unusually shaped castle.”
The three went into the pyramid while chatting about each other.
The moment you go inside, the sand and dust scattered in the air disappear cleanly, as if you are blocked from the outside, and clear and clean air rushes into your respiratory system.
At the same time, no matter where the heat of the desert went, a pleasant coolness drifted inside, enough to make you feel cool because of the temperature difference.
“Five.”
“Wow.”
Chester and Monia looked around in admiration.
“To say it’s a castle, there are no decorations in the entrance hallway. boring.”
“Apart from the fact that it’s made of gold, I think the academy will be more splendid.”
As soon as they entered, the two people, who had lived in all kinds of luxury as a duke’s family and their exclusive butler, went inside while appraising the inside of the pyramid, which was unexpectedly mediocre.
Urgo, who was overwhelmed by the pyramid and stopped walking, saw the two of them reacting to living in a world so different from his own, and sighed softly and followed them.
