(EP.354)# 2
354 – D#2
It is said that the main hall on this mountain is a place for those who cut off their steps from the world.
People who are cut off from the world often say, ‘I shave my head and go into the mountains.’
I just said that this temple is a place for such people.
That is why they are not interested in living in the world, and everyone is ignorant of who is famous and what festivals are taking place.
That’s why the monks here didn’t seem to know who I was. Everywhere in Angmar, people pretended to know each other, so this situation is rather unfamiliar.
“Who are you?”
It was when I was about to answer the old man’s question.
Shh.
Mirna stands between me and the old man and opens her mouth.
“It doesn’t matter now. Aliezer, please guide us quickly to the Pantheon. I’ll have to take out one of the treasures there and use it. It’s important.”
“much… . The original pantheon belongs to the dragon king. It would be the right thing to do, but to obey the words of that mana-sama. If there is one thing this old monk has to tell you… .”
After that, the old monk gave a rather lengthy explanation.
“Things kept in Manshinjeon. Among them, there are many objects that contain false curses and desires, such as the bones of a monkey’s hand or the seven marbles of a dragon god. That’s why I regularly perform purification rituals… .”
He said that what could be called that evil energy has gotten stronger these days. That’s why he couldn’t even approach the Pantheon without recklessly, except for the high priests.
“But the chastity ceremony is soon to come to an end. If you wait a little longer, the Pantheon will be reopened soon, so why not wait for it?”

Narmi wiggled her eyebrows at the request to wait.
“How long will you wait?”
“Let’s see… . Do you have ambassador Norva? The lady is asking when the chastity ceremony will end.”
Soon a young man in silk came up to the old man and whispered into his ear. It sounded like he said something small on purpose, but my sensitive fairy ears caught on to the sound.
– It will take another day or two.
two days
It was definitely a time that could be described as short if it was short. However, we do not have even two hours, let alone two days. As I was thinking a little about whether or not it might be good, Noh Seung-ryeo Ariesel said.
“Once you have come a long way, please come inside. I will bring you some five-color hyangcha and black red bean yanggaeng. There is nothing better than a way to melt away the fatigue of high hikes and long trips.”
At that carefree remark, Narmi asked as if furiously.
“We really don’t have time! Hurry up and go to the Manshinjeon! My sister and I will take care of the curse, so can you please guide me where it is?”
At the cheerful request of Narmi, I could see Noh Seung-ryeo’s face softening in an instant.
If it’s Narmi’s request, I’m sure he’ll be willing to do whatever it takes. Not to mention, she is a princess who does not hurt even if she puts it in Narmiya’s eyes to the people of the Draco family.
But soon, Noh Seung-ryo took on a very strict expression.
“no.”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi frowned at him.
“I am Narmiya of the Draco family. You are the servants of our family, the foodies, the students, and the monks. Aren’t you supposed to listen when I say it?”
It may seem a little disrespectful, but Narmi was right.
This world is a clearly hierarchical society.
The powers of nobles and commoners were legally determined. Even if it was Narmi, the second daughter of the high-ranking family Draco, it would have been possible even if it was possible to fill the pond and make a flat land.
But.
People looked at each other blankly.
Then, one or two of them licked their lips, and then burst out laughing out loud. Narmi and Mirna both narrowed their brows as if embarrassed by that outrageous laughter.
“What, why are you laughing? am i funny I’m Narmi von Draco… !”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi looked as if her heart had been hurt as if she had been ridiculed. Noh Seung-ryeo opened his mouth to speak softly to Narmi.
“We have been commanded by Judas, the great teacher and grandfather of the young ladies, to protect the peace and peace of this parish and pantheon. Even if the requests of the girls are against their orders, I cannot grant them.”
His tone was soft, but his firmness was like an iron wall. No matter what you say, no matter how much you ask, this old monk will not listen to Narmi.
As if he had noticed it himself, Narmi looked at me and Mirna while crying. To that, Mirna lightly sighed, “Whoa,” and then muttered.
“It seems that we haven’t been recognized yet. As head of the Draco family, as the leader who will rule these peaks. As the successor of Uncle Judas.”
The old man was silent.
But sometimes silence is a more accurate answer than an accurate answer.
As I listened to the story from the side, I felt the same. Narmi and Mirna have not yet been recognized as official successors in this place, the headquarter of the family.
Although the Draco family had been destroyed by the evil witchcraft Gamigin, it was frankly strange to think that there was no help from their stronghold.
If there was such a reason, I can understand why Mirna had to deal with so much work alone. Problems with inheritance and permissions have not been resolved yet.
Then Narmi asked.
“Then, what should I do to receive that recognition?”
At that question, the old man’s expression brightened.
“Are you interested in the ritual of succession, Miss Narmi?”
Seeing the people around them looking at each other’s faces and saying, “It’s fine” or “There will be no problems in the future”, they also seemed to be quite positive that their legitimate heirs were interested in inheritance.
“Then, Miss Narmi, it’s the next three days. You must bathe in cold water and chant prayers to purify your body and mind. Purity is the most important thing in inheriting the Dragon King’s Orb.”
Three days in the bath industry.
It was an absurdly long time for us, who only had two hours.
But Narmi looked at us and greeted us with a frown.
It was cute, but when I was wondering what it meant, Mirna nodded her head, “Really, that’s how it happened.”

🤩🤩🤩
“Oh, chaga!”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi, dressed in white linen, was drenched in cold water in a large fountain. Youngsan’s mineral water is said to be colder than ice.
“Too cold!”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Narmi’s trembling trembling after being beaten by it had a pathetic corner, like a dog hit by a strong shower.
-I’m so sorry, Mrs.
-Still, it’s a rule, so there’s nothing you can do about it.
While everyone is watching the situation, Mirna pokes me in the side.
“People paid all attention to Narmi. Now is the best time to sneak out.”
“stealthily?”
“While Narmi is attracting attention, we are robbing the pantheon of treasure.”
“ah.”
seizure.
It was such a criminal plan that I couldn’t even think of a story that came out of Mirna’s mouth, who had been living a good life as a woman.
It was perfect at the same time.
Seeing that he was not afraid to commit bad things and deceive others for the sake of his plans, he was also not lacking in being my wife.
sush.
We backtracked through a large crowd.
In the meantime, everyone’s eyes were on Narmi, who was screaming in the cold water, so no one cared about us.
“People have always been more interested in Narmi than I am. But, that aspect helps now.”
Saying that, Mirna’s face looked somewhat relieved.
A slight sense of inferiority towards Narmi. He must have overcome it to some extent. It would be nice to see that I grew up as a human being.
In terms of stealing, it would be nice to say that he was corrupted. Mirna rubbed her lips to see if she had read my thoughts, and said hesitantly.
“It’s just taking my stuff out of my warehouse. I don’t see that as stealing. So, it’s not bad at all.”
“It is, though. Do you know where the Manshinjeon should go before that? In my opinion, Mirna seems to be quite unfamiliar with this place.”
“Yeah, it’s a place I’ve only been to once since I was a kid. But, I vaguely remember. This stone road. fluttering flags. And just around the corner… .”
Mirna stepped forward like a competent guide.
━You guys, outsiders are not allowed in this place, keuk-!
From time to time soldiers and people spoke to us, but Mirna slapped them in the stomach with her fists, causing them to lose consciousness.
hair stone.
As I looked at the fallen soldier, Mirna pulled out her hand.
“I don’t have time to get immersed in appreciation. It would be in vain that Narmi drew so much attention… ! So, what we’ve done so far… .”
“I know. Come on.”
After running for such a long time, we eventually found a huge cave connected to the temple. A large entrance that appears to be several meters in diameter.
There are several stakes with chains attached to the amulet in front of them. Also, seeing the ugly statues of angels guarding in front of it, it seemed that he knew that this was an unusual place.
“Who are you? No one is allowed to enter the Pantheon during the ritual of purification!”
As soon as we approached the place, the martial artists with swords stopped us. Something I thought there would be some conflict. It would be better to subdue them quickly.
“What-!”
“Hey, the land! The ground is falling!”
“Magic!?”
They suddenly fell to their chests in the crumbling ground like a swamp.

paget.
Something flashed on the tip of my nose. A tingling sensation as if struck by lightning. Now I see that something invisible is blocking my way.
Mirna spread her palms in the air and clicked her tongue.
“It’s a barrier. After all, it seems that they are not going to let them in.”
The soldiers who are buried deep in the ground shout confidently.
“The magic of the old king Solomon and the hero Judas himself. An invincible barrier that has never been broken by any intruders! Those with a wrong heart will not be able to lift their toes!”
Indeed it is.
“But such a wall. I’ve always been through.”
Shh.
I put my palms on the barrier.
“Break it.”
“You idiot, it’s a shield like that arc’s dome. With only those words, the best barrier—”
Fragile, squishy.
The faces of the soldiers quickly filled with bewilderment at the loud bursting sound.
“… The barrier is broken… !?”
“For more than half a century, the pantheon has not been invaded by anyone… .”
When everything finally clinked to pieces. They stained their faces with astonishment and couldn’t keep their mouths shut. I wouldn’t have thought that the barrier I believed in would be broken.
“… You, who are you?”
I paused for a moment at that fearful question.
“You will find out soon.”
Before long, only my name and my flag will sound on the highest peaks of the world.
The last word seems to form a form, so I swallow it in my mouth.
jerk.
After saying those words, he takes a step into the dark cave. just one step. With that alone, the moist air stuck to my body, as if the world had changed.
This is Draco’s pantheon.
A place where all kinds of fetishes and curses gather.
“… It’s too poisonous.”
Mirna was very distressed and covered her nose with a handkerchief. It seems that it was difficult to withstand the insidious auras that lay on the underside.
But I was more tolerable than I thought. His neck and face were sharp, but there was nothing he couldn’t stand the thought of doing chemotherapy training.
What I see with my eyes are podiums and glass tubes scattered here and there. All sorts of strange objects inside filled my vision.
Where am I looking for?
As I frowned lightly, several letters began to come to mind.
“Monkey Hand Bones”
「Monkey head bone」
“Monkey Tail Bone”
“Monkey Back Bones”
“… … … .”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, what is it, you have collected a bunch of monkey bones?
I frantically turned my head to find the letter I wanted among the bones of the monkeys. If you’re taking your time, the guards who notice the breakthrough of the Pantheon will come to you.
After much effort, Lady Narmi is sacrificing herself in the cold water, but it cannot be turned in vain.
“Karma Changer”
Oh, there it is!

After breaking the glass tube, he held the mirror placed on the podium in his hand. Just then, I could feel something pounding hard in the back of my neck.
When I turned my head in a strange mind, I met someone’s eyes.
those blue eyes.
Somewhere familiar brown hair.
Even the appearance of a lively smile on his lips.
“… painting.”
It is a framed portrait.
The unique handwriting of the characters written in Moorish resembles the handwriting Bael showed.
“… Solomon.”
I approached the picture and read the text below it.
“My moon. my star. my old flame. Beatrice”.
