Underworld Excursion – 2
Florence herself was surprised.
It’s amazing how you can decorate such a casual complexion.
‘no. This is not something I decorate.’
She recalled a conversation she had with Velocian.
“Idria has already formally rejected this operation. If you make any weird teas, you’ll get caught right away.”
“I have quite a bit of patience.”
“It is not just a simple cold that erases the soul. Let me help you.”

Velocian said so and took action.Now her body was rotting from the inside.
To erase the soul means to die.
Firencia was apparently dipping one foot in the Redby River, with half of her soul being erased.
‘I feel like throwing up. I’m dizzy.’
Fever rises and chills occur.
Blood continued to spurt from the inside of his throat.
Still, how can you squeeze out such a calm face and tone of voice?
What kind of trick did the author, Velocian, use to make this play possible?
Firencia glanced at Velocian, who was talking to Idria next to her.
Then Velocian said to Idria.
“I’m going to have to stop.”
“What’s going on?”
“It seems that there are guests visiting my place.”
“Did you even have a house?”
“It would be more appropriate to call it a prison rather than a house.”
“… … ? it’s a prison Running around just fine.”

Velocian shook his head.“It’s like a human going through a mouse hole. The whole body was finely chopped, crumpled, and forced through.”
“… … .”
“In a nutshell, it means that the body is in a mess. The price to get out of jail is so great.”
“Who imprisoned a being like you?”
“Well. Anyway, for that reason, I have to go back to meet the guests. I don’t know if that guest will visit the room where I was imprisoned.”

Velocian left behind such meaningless words and disappeared.Idria looked carefully at where he was for a moment, then turned to Florence.
“Are you okay?”
“yes? What, what?”
“You’ve been glancing at Velocian since a while ago.”
“… … !”
“Isn’t he supposed to have done something to you?”
Firencia almost had her expression on her face.
But he did his best to keep his composure.
She tilted her head and answered.
“Nothing happened.”
Idria looked carefully at Florence and murmured.
“… … okay. Then I’m happy.”
I first contacted the emperor.
And he said that he would go to the Underground of the Imperial Palace.
He did my favor without asking or questioning, instructing the guards not to disturb us.
Thanks to this, we were able to reach the Imperial Underground Gate without difficulty.
squeaky. widely.
When we opened the door and went inside, we were greeted by a pure white world that we were afraid to get used to.
Neryl said, looking around.
“Is there a special room among these many doors? Velocian is hiding.”
“It may or may not be.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Grade-sama said that he had been trying to open each of these doors over the years. But there were no Velocians anywhere.”
“It certainly was.”
“If he didn’t find it, it means at least none of these open doors. Since the name is ‘Special Room’, wouldn’t the shape of the door be splendid?”
Everyone nodded, but at the same time, their faces became puzzled.
Because I didn’t see the so-called special door inside.
The door where the Velocian is studded may mean that it is nicely hidden somewhere.
I’m curious, but that’s not what’s important right now.
said Jenny.
“It’s an ignorant method, but I’ll open it up one by one. If something plausible comes up, we will meet again.”
“What if it was plausible?”
“Because Impelium told me to go to the underworld… … .”
“a. That would be just a metaphor.”
“I think so. Anyway, wouldn’t it be nice to find something like a book or a piece of paper containing the necromancers’ spells?”
We all agreed and dispersed quickly.
Except for me.
I was standing alone with my arms crossed in the center of the pure white world.
[What are you doing? You should find it too.]
‘I’m waiting for your touch.’
[…] … .]
‘At least you’re better suited than me to find things here. You’ve already seen the effect several times.’
[Well.]
‘please. No matter how small it may be, please tell me when you feel something.’
[Do your best.]
With that said, the trail really did its best.
In other words, he did not open his mouth for a whopping 3 hours.
Considering this guy’s chatty personality, it was a phenomenal concentration.
At three and a half hours, I stuck my tongue out.
‘Which is more contradictory, Quiet Trail or Honest Idria?’
[You’re talking too harshly.]
‘It’s a compliment.’
[It doesn’t sound like that at all. Instead, follow me.]
widely.
screen pops up.
It took me somewhere.
First of all, I gathered my companions with a communication ball.
There were already several precedents, so the party members followed me without question.
Offense asks in a whisper.
“Did Trail find something else?”
“Look. Rather, they say you can just call it Trail.”
“It would be better if you said that directly.”
“Because he is a shy warrior.”
“I’m different from you in many ways.”
“You’re talking too much.”
“It was a compliment.”
It doesn’t sound that way at all.
[That’s exactly how I felt.]
what are you talking about
widely.
Then the screen window stopped in front of a certain door.
Trail said in a serious voice.
[It’s here.]
‘What’s here?’
[I don’t know that either. But I’m sure it will help in this case.]
‘Good.’
I grabbed the handle.
And when you try to turn it.
Something strange caught on the edge of his field of vision.
At first, I thought it was a little bit uncomfortable.
But when I turned my head to look at it, words could not describe it as a sense of incongruity.
– Heterogeneity.
About twenty steps away from the door we were standing in.
There is a door with the same shape.
But the color of the door was red.
as if covered in blood.
“What about that door?”
“yes? what’s the matter?”
“Because only that door over there is red.”
The party members turn their heads.
But they tilted their heads and said.
“Red door? There is no such thing.”
“It was all pure white.”
“haha. It’s a red door. Because he is a true warrior, he knows the excitement.”
what?
In the eyes of the party, that looks like the same white door?
For a moment, I felt it.
“That’s it.”
“yes?”
“That’s the ‘special room’.”
“… … !”
“The shape of the door is the same, but that alone is a red door.”
“So it’s not the red door.”
Neryl is in denial, but it still looks red to my eyes.
Why does it only look like that to me?
“… … let’s go over You shouldn’t meet the Velocian now anyway.”
“Did Impelium give you that advice?”
“okay. He said that Velocian was strong enough to be incomparable with Ardin. That’s why, unlike Adin, he’s probably able to roam the outside.”
“… … .”
“I will open this door first.”
squeaky.
I opened the door.
It looked like a small warehouse.
In the warehouse, ropes, axes, and sickles were scattered randomly.
And there is an old little paper on the table.
It is similar to the bell that the nobles wave when they call the butler, or when the guests look for the innkeeper.
Ardwin said.
“It’s a cute toy. The servant that calls the soul… … It is something that every necromancer carries.”
“yes? You are not.”
“haha. This body was removed from such a species 20 years ago.”
“Did you take it off before you were born?”
“Even if necromancers originally call souls from the underworld, it requires very hard training to accurately call them into their own bodies. It’s as easy as flipping the palm of your hand.”
At that time, Neryl and Xenia laughed softly.
That smile contained noble advice: ‘If you don’t want to look behind you, return to your original tone.’
Ardwin, who grew cold, quickly changed his tone.
“At that time, you shake the bell to induce it. You can come this way.”
“Hmm. Anyway, it sounds like a rudimentary tool, right?”
“yes. Right. Shall we shake it first?”
“okay. The soul to call first is Lephia-sama. He’s the one who gets along the most with us, so he wouldn’t be angry if I called him as a test.”
“I know. Wait.”
Ardwin picked up the bell and waved it.
conductor. visor.
A very clear sound echoes through the warehouse.
I said casually.
“Good to hear.”
“Ahaha. You’re good at joking. brother.”
“Eh? why?”
“This is a sound that only necromancers and spirits can hear. A living human cannot hear this bell.”
Ardwin’s face, who had been talking up to that point, became pale.
Because of our subsequent testimony.
“uh? I think I heard too.”
“I heard it too.”
“Me too.”
“me too.”
Everyone in the party heard it.
Ardwin continued to shake his head, saying that this could not happen.
But he said in a serious voice that he had soon made up his mind.
“Well, I don’t know what happened, but I have a soul that I brought with me.”
“Lephia-sama?”
“no. Originally, Lephia was set up and called, but someone else came. I think he said he would go instead of Lephia-sama.”
“… … ? who.”
“Leon Shiok-sama.”
None of us didn’t know his name.
Leon Shiok.
He was the 3rd greatest warrior and he was the one who defeated the Demon King of Corruption along with other heroes such as Beyond!
From the beginning, I heard that the three major heroes and heroes met each other in the underworld, but no doubt, ‘I’ll go instead of you.’ It would have been on the level to do it.
I nodded to Ardwin.
Soon his voice changed.
“Wah haha. hello everyone Wow, all of the characters are tall. I have a friend whose presbyopia came a little earlier.”
“Maybe that’s not what I’m talking about… … .”
“Are you an offense? you’re right Anyway, I’m Leon Shiok. I’m counting on you.”
Leon is known for being very lively… … So, he was a bit more energetic than necessary.
He shook hands with all of us.
Even a normal handshake almost swings up and down like a swing.
I opened my mouth with the momentum that if I left it alone, it would take an hour with just the name.
“Leon. It is an honor to meet you.”
“yes? Hey, let’s not be too formal with the same heroes. That’s enough for my party members.”
“… … .”
“Let’s talk comfortably. Why did you call me?”
“You are here.”
“Aha. It really was.”
He scratched his head and said.
“I will correct it. Why did you want to call Lephia-sama?”
“Before that, I Why did you come instead of Lephia-sama?”
“All the other heroes said hello to the 5th hero, but I’m still the only one. I was a bit squeamish at Lefia-sama. He readily agreed.”
I bet she would agree, tired of it.
But instead of arguing like that, I went back to the main point.
“I didn’t call it out of necessity. I was just trying to test the necromancer’s servant you have in your hand.”
“yes? Oh, I made this.”
“you’re right. Made by Leon… … yes?”
“I made this in my later years.”
We all had to doubt our ears.
Xenia intervened.
“Leon-sama, were you a necromancer? Not as far as I know.”
“I never really had a job.”
“Oh.”
Yes.
Grade was known for her pure force, and Lephia was famous for her swordsmanship.
Unlike the two of them, Leon did everything well.
A genius in every field.
Even when it comes to magic, did you say that you surpassed him in a few years after learning from Beyond?
Paradoxically, it seems to have become a state of ‘no matter what you do’ as you achieve phenomenal achievements in all fields you touch.
So, after killing the Demon King, he wandered around the continent without a fixed place of residence.
[Huh. I am like you.]
‘After I retire, I plan to settle down.’
[Hmm.]
‘At that time, wherever Leon went, the people of the territory gathered like a cloud, so the emperor at the time was quite vigilant. What kind of peaceful retirement would it be to spend such a final year?’
[Actually, he already has such a genius in the title of a hero. They must have lined up to get a single instruction.]
Then Neryl asked.
“Why did you make this bell?”
