The last king of the millennial kingdom! (One)
It was dawn the next day.
We gathered at the entrance of the hostel before the sun even raised its head.
All the horses to be ridden were fast and sturdy guys that Viscount Langbuye had given them.
The saddle bag was filled with food, drinking water, blankets, and various medicines for India.
He took everything that could be a weapon.
– Hehehe!
“Oh, please. Let’s come back safely together.”
I looked at the horizon while stroking the first words.
The other side of the sky was brightening in purple and orange. A cool wind blew.
In the air there was the smell of clear dawn and the smell of sand.
In fact, we were going to leave right away yesterday evening, but the Viscount couple, who returned from wholesale spices, insisted on us.
I understand the concern about the child, but he said that it is dangerous when the sun goes down.
It won’t prevent them from leaving, but the spirits are more active at night, so I also advised them to go to the sundowner if possible.
However, considering the child who will be in the ruins, it was an urgent situation.
It was none other than Marion who calmed us down.
‘There are a lot of adults who went with me. If it was India, they would have stolen all their food. He must have stolen napkins and socks.’
‘Marion.’
‘Really. My aunt and uncles always said that I was the smartest kid in the village.’
‘But I don’t know what my brother’s situation is…’
‘What if I go there when the sun isn’t there and tell them, but if a precious person gets hurt? India wouldn’t like that. I’m the same.’
Maybe that’s why it’s so blatant and fickle.
The crying child hanging from the bridge was gone, and I wondered where did this little boy like a polished bubble come from.
Crucially, Monica, the ruler of Caravansaray, also sided with Marion.
He said that it would be reckless to go to the ruins at sunset, and even asked him to think of the people and the people of the empire.
Everyone came out like that, so there wasn’t much else to do.
We decided to go to bed early and get up early to go find the child.
So a new day has come.
– Kee, Kee!
“Are you looking forward to it? Are you going to be friends with me?”
– Kyeung!
“It’s a big deal. Our Demi has finally lost her fear.”
Shinsu seemed to lose his mind if he was too afraid. I laughed when I saw the guy sitting in the saddle basket.
Tite was held by Kristel in a swaddling bag, while Leia and Perry were held by Sant and Joan, respectively.
Marion, who decided to follow us, rode the horse with Sir John.
Dukshim, who was asleep, decided to take care of the Rangbuye family at the dormitory.
The Crown Prince proudly rode alone.
The Chaum Ruins was a place that came out of Caravansaray if you run all the way south.
There were no other buildings or terrain in the middle, so anyone could easily go there if they wanted to.
But no one had such a mind.
Because no Neutral Zone resident goes into the ruins where ghosts are wandering.
Unless you’re crazy, drunk, or a robber.
“Kristel, are you really okay? Mom is worried.”
“Calm down, mother. I’m not going to steal, and I have no plans to destroy the ruins. I will never make any excuses for the demons to attack.”
Kristel got on the horse and comforted Isabelle.
First, he held out his little finger and made a promise.
Seeing you like that, you seem to be on good terms again, but why did you do that yesterday and the day before?
“According to legend, spirits sometimes sing songs to entice human souls. Be sure to cover your ears if you hear any strange sounds. If you don’t listen to the end, you can be free.”
“Yes, Mrs. thank you.”
I answered with a smile.
The Viscount Marize looked at me and whispered what my granddaughter was like and what my son-in-law was like, constantly stuffing fruits and donuts into my pocket.
I think you want me to come back safely and introduce you to my granddaughter-in-law.
Just leave it to me, I’ll do my best. For reference, the likely candidate is over there.
“majesty. Please don’t draw the magic sword, and also rule the holy flame. Pretend you didn’t see anything. You must not provoke the spirit to anger.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Prince Cedric looked down at Viscount Clement and said:
As I always think, he was surprisingly polite to an adult.
Finally, the old couple approached Kristel for a while, and reached out to their grandchildren’s cheeks.
Then she smirked and pulled herself away. The two old men and I looked at Kristel in amazement.
For some reason, she had a more bewildered face than us. At first glance, Isabelle seemed to be in shock.
“uh······. Well. I will go. Don’t worry, I’ll use a magic tool flare if anything happens!”
Kristel ended the situation with an awkward greeting. It was true that there was no time to delay.
Finally, Monica grabbed Marion’s arm tightly, and the Prince spurred on first.
I put the veil over my nose and pushed forward vigorously.
“Huh!”
“Hey!”
– Catch up, cackle, cackle!
Dust rose up in the pale blue sky. We said goodbye to Chaum Village for a while.

The ruins were really close.
It looked far away from the town, but it only took about 30 minutes to run on a horse.
-Multiple, multifaceted, multifaceted…
“Ugh! Aren’t you talking about that zucchini bee or something?”
By the time they reached their destination, Joan pointed to the sandy beach with a mournful expression.
Paladins are indifferent, but we’re the only ones with rabbit eyes!
“I think so, Baron.”
Sant answered the same death after death.
‘Aww, my stomach is rumbling.’ The angry baron shuddered.
Carcasses of black amber bees were lying around the historic site.
Most of them were buried in the sand, but there were not many, and even they were badly damaged by storms.
He’s a good talker, but up close, the beast was almost the size of an adult’s forearm.
The beetle in the ＜Mummy> series was aegyo. I frowned and turned my head.
I wasn’t good enough to watch things like that.
Sir John was covering the eyes of Marion who was sitting in front of him.
– Hehehe!
“Looks like that’s the entrance.”
The prince, who had stopped speaking, spoke as heavily as the main character of an old western.
I quickly followed his gaze.
Beyond the dim morning glow, a huge trace of history was unfolding.
“Wow······.”
– Kiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Demi and I both admired at the same time.
There was no single pillar the size of an apartment building as seen at the mouth of the neutral zone.
However, there were huge rocks lying here and there.
It is unknown what it was originally like, but it seems that there was a very magnificent structure on the ground.
It was clear that the ancient traces remained in the place where it had been swept away by the wind and time, and looted by robbers.
In the place where the sandy soil was dug, spacious tiles made from carved rocks were densely placed.
Whether it was a sidewalk or a driveway, that would have served as a road anyway.
“Demi, look over there. How could this have been made a thousand years ago?”
-talent
“It must have been really heavy. Isn’t the country ruined by having subordinates do this kind of work?”
Joan pointed out sharply in a sullen tone. Indeed, an artist from commoners was different.
Acting like a royal family, I just smiled vaguely.
“Soundbite.”
-fault!
The party was a hippo with as much noise as possible.
The Prince and Sir John tied their horses to pillars that reached their waist.
We acted after the two men.
Her father, who was holding Marion down, smiled lowly.
Suddenly, the words gathered together snorted as if it was interesting.

Other than that, the whole place was as quiet as a lie. There was not even the sound of grasshoppers and birds that I had always heard in the Imperial Palace.
It was creepy.
“It’s like a pyramid site.”
Kristel mumbled my inner heart instead.
I slowly walked into the ruins, holding Marion’s hand, holding my almost nodded head.
Sant said looking around.
“But the ghost is nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, the······.”
“The sun will rise soon. It is said that the spirits instinctively avoid the time when light overcomes darkness and gains strength. Of course, facing the sun doesn’t make you weak.”
‘It must have been hidden deep in the ruins by now.’ Sir John kindly explained.
I’m not a vampire, but I’d like to be a typical ghost group.
Good thing you came in the morning.
“Hey, it’s the stairs.”
“yes. This is the entrance the Prince said.”
Marion bravely pointed to one place. I swallowed dry saliva and proceeded.
The Prince and Kristel stood on the left and right, and Sant and Joan pressed close to our backs.
Leah patted the priest’s chest as if cheering him on.
Sir John, as always, was in charge of the rear.
-Jacquard, jayak, jayak
-Jump, jerk, jerk…
Black darkness awaited us with its mouth open.
The underground road was in the form of a plausible corridor.
The side walls were strong, and the stairs going down were intact.
As I approached my nose, a cool breeze came from below. I only screamed inwardly.
“Huh, that one.”
Whoa! Marion’s heart was about to drop as she was pounding.
Whether I grabbed my chest or not, the child went upstairs and squatted down.
Kristel ran as if flying and surrounded the girl. The prince looked down at me and clicked his tongue.
“When do you plan to be graceful?”
“Be quiet.”
Yes, if I was sleepy and I was afraid of ether, it would be worth it. Did you add anything?
“Right. It’s written by India. Scratched with white pebbles. I’m sure it’s a password we always use between us.”
“I see. I wrote ‘DG REG.’”
“what? Do you mean ‘go back’?”
Joan, who had been listening quietly, asked a question. I hurriedly bit my lip.
When I’m scared and laugh, my hair grows in strange places.
“Dei Gratia Regina.”
The answer was given by Sir John. We looked back at the same time.
He smiled softly like a raging wind.
“’The King by the grace of God.’ That’s roughly what it means in a new language.”
“Ah, I saw it in an old theological book…. By the way, it became a password because India knew it too. I didn’t know it meant that.”
“New words cannot be learned unless you are a cardinal-level cleric. I know a nice sentence.”
The paladin curved his drooping eyebrows.
Kristel asked Marion softly as she handed over Marion’s hair.
“Did you learn such difficult words? They are genius sisters.”
“I just memorized the spelling, and I saw India in bricks.”
“brick?”
I whispered and approached.
Marion shook her head and looked up at us.
“Sometimes there are broken bricks around the village. I said it was written there. It doesn’t seem worth much if the robbers don’t take it with them.”
“·················ogue.”
We quickly exchanged glances. Silence lingered for a while.
Hopefully here… Is the King of Salvation Unio buried?

“No one knows that.”
I don’t know, I don’t know… Touk, todd, tok, tok, tok, tok, tok…
The clear voice of a child and the sound of footsteps from the group echoed together.
Demi ran around without a sound.
Anyway, we were about to go downstairs to the basement.
It seemed certain that India was facing downwards, and according to Sir John, who patrolled the ruins, there were no people around.
There are carcasses of horses that appear to be robbers, but there is also an explanation that they were all eaten by black amber bees.
So there was only one option.
– Hurr!
In the hallway without even the slightest light, the prince lit a flame and took the lead.
Holding the whip, Kristel walked side by side with him, preparing for the unexpected appearance of a demonic beast.
The Viscount told me not to use the sacred fire, but I already broke one of the elders’ words. sorry.
“There are many sayings that this is a grave. It may not be what you see in the book. India did too. Maybe it was a secret prayer room where the residents hid during the temple days… It could be tombs. But I don’t know what the tomb is. My brother doesn’t even know.”
‘I forgot to ask Grandpa Scotty.’ Marion said brightly.
I smiled and waved the boy’s arm.
In his other hand, he was holding the growth he had inherited.
The air in the ground was as cold as a refrigerator and damp as in the rainy season.
Even so, the body temperature he met was just warm.
“A very, very old tomb is called a tomb.”
“I see. That’s why the village elders seem to say it’s just a grave.”
“Who’s grave do you call it?”
“In the past, when Holy Father Irenner was there, a lot of high-ranking people came to study it. But he went to the side he gave and said that no one cares anymore. Even the Vatican does not speak, so the villagers continue to live without knowing it. We studied hard… It is still difficult.”
Marion said while muttering Ma’amoul cookies.
I barely let out a sigh.
I’ve heard many stories about the Vatican’s lack of fame, and that the Pope was concentrating on saving money after the death of the Pope.
Still, it is… done. let’s not talk
“Then this must be a grave in nine out of ten.”
I muttered as I stared at the dim ceiling.
The old site left outside was too majestic to be a secret religious facility.
Umm, if you are the monarch of a ruined country, you will definitely have regrets…
“No. Could it be a wealthy aristocrat?”
“Ah, prince. Of course, he must have been a highly respected king of this size.”
Christel answered from behind. I nodded my head and paused. for a moment.
“·················ogue.”
– Ttogak, Ttogak, Ttogak
Kristel was walking in front of me. The hair all over his body stood up in an instant.
