Dragon King Straight (10)
“There is a possibility that you have taken the wrong path. We’ve gone through a few intersections so far.”
Then John said calmly.
Tite, who had fallen into a deep sleep in his arms, occasionally babbled.
Cedric frowned slightly under the helmet.
The empty holy stone passage was radiating indifferent light from all directions.
It was on the second floor.
“This is the only area paved with holy stones.”
“It could be a trick.”
“Or maybe there is a hidden door here?”
Between the two men’s quick conversation, Francisco carefully intervened.
Four eyes immediately rolled towards it.
The child disguised as a servant was very daring.
Even among adults who were several times larger than me, who didn’t even show their face under the helmet, the girl never felt shy.
I think he must have been only 14 years old, but the fact that he came to a place like this by leaving the lord’s castle alone proves the thick distribution of Francisca.
I grew up being loved quite a bit by saying everything I wanted to say while trembling.
Cedric asked sharply.
“A hidden door?”
“Literally. We hid the door because there might be intruders like us. The royal family, no, you said that the most famous mercenary guild on the continent is ‘wheat’, right? You must have had many adventures then.”
The child’s eyes twinkled unnecessarily.
He wept at the thought of Youngji-min, who had been bleeding a while ago, and seemed to have recovered his energy.
The paladins who already had such a mate and master swallowed a sigh without saying a word.
His large, speckled cheeks fluttered with excitement.
“You don’t know the novel? ＜The Liberator of King Baekgok>.”
“·················ogue.”
“I barely managed to get one without my mother’s knowledge. A flyer from the Empire!”
“·················ogue.”
Then, a silence like a rocky stone gently pressed on their chests and passed.
Yes. Even if it was Bareun, the northernmost point, there was no way the leaflet would not have spread to Atsumae, which is further south.
John turned around and focused on the noise coming from afar.
Baron Eda Atsuma, with his hordes of knights and mercenaries, had passed the passageway with the underground entrance and crossed the first intersection.
Among the dozens of footsteps, the sound of neat footsteps reverberated through the air.
Calculating the speed of their approach, the time allotted to them is now just over three minutes.
“Let’s take a look here first.”
In such a solid space, it would be safe even from the onslaught of mythical beasts.
However, the baron will surely want to check the well-being of Physis first.
“If you look there, the main character, Sir Kristel Langbuye, infiltrates the Dragon Palace to find the storage of the lost ice jam. Then, he meets an obsidian sea urchin who gives rise to three riddles! It’s a famous story in the royal capital, don’t you know?”
It was a dog whistle. Cedric passed the child and began to trace the holy stone wall.
Lofi in his arms ‘meowed’ as if reading his insides, and directed him around.
Francisca, who had been helping him with her claws, widened her eyes.
“Did you just make a cat sound, knight?”
“Not a single scratch, let alone a keyhole.”
The tip of the man’s black gloves quickly traced the holy stone.
John came silently to the side and looked down.
There was also truth to the words of the Crown Prince and the adventurous noble lady.
The intersections that have been passed so far have not been covered with holy stones like this.
No matter how much they sold their faith, they would not be unaware of the preciousness of the Holy Stone.
If it was enough to use the jewels from the place where the priest was buried in the first place, from the ceiling to the floor, and use it as a shield, it would be more correct to think that Physis is here.
Suddenly, I remembered the day I infiltrated the black magician’s mansion.
There was an opening and closing device in the form of a safe on the door…
There really is nothing here.
“I wish there was something here, but it really isn’t.”
Francisca followed the grown-ups and muttered, refining the holy stones.
Sedric paused for a moment and looked at the child.
Soon, red-tinted eyes came into view.
“My mother, my mother, is strange.”
“·················ogue.”
“You seem to be getting thinner day by day, and you often skip meals. Last time, dozens of Young Ji-min came to the front of the castle and cried and shouted. It seemed like someone was missing, but I couldn’t hear exactly. Just, just, just….”
“·················ogue.”
“When I asked many times what was going on, my mother got angry for no reason and locked me up for a few days. I still don’t know why they came.”
The girl quickly wiped away the flowing tears. He also bit his trembling lips.
Cedric just watched it silently.
His mate would most likely have offered him a gentle consolation like Krem Siboost, but unfortunately he lacks such talent and has not yet trusted Francis.
As he was the heir to the throne, who had been subjected to numerous checks and criticisms from birth, it was a natural reaction.
The moment John looked back at the two of them,
-Koo-gu-woo-woong!
A deep vibration sounded far away from what was supposed to be outside the guild chamber.
The stone passageway shook up and down, left and right, making a crackling sound.
The shouts of the mercenaries resounded from not far away.
Surprised girl rubbed sweaty palms on her apron.
Cedric Lister was sure this time.
I don’t know why I believe so strongly, but I swear it was the power of Christel Langbuye.
Unexplained anxiety gnawed at his cheekbones with his sharp claws. what?
······ Are you going to die in a place where the prince cannot see you?
-Tok!
That was then.
“Hey, baby lizard! Did you bring a lizard?”
A child who had just stopped crying shouted like a whisper.
The prince’s scarlet eyes moved in an instant.
Gugu, who had slipped out of his armor, was moving towards the holy stone wall with a precarious movement.
He immediately reached out his hand so that the god could climb the wall.
Then the lizard, like a fish out of water – I know it’s an inappropriate metaphor – was excited and started sprinting over the mineral.
The two paladins had no feelings yet, but the little boy seemed to sense his own heart little by little.
The three of them kept their mouths shut as if they had promised, and carefully observed the orange animal.
After a few dozen seconds passed,
-··············································································································· The
“Hey, here. It looks weird here. I found something!”
The fire lizard, which stood tall at a certain point, pounded on the wall with its tail.
The three pairs of eyes looked tenaciously under their claws.
The far corner of the wide castle stone wall, about two spans below the normal doorknob.
I could see something engraved with uneven engravings.
John gently pulled the lizard down and checked the piece himself. Excitedly, Gugu slapped the prince’s shoulder with his tail.
“·················ogue.”
A strange touch began to draw a map-like picture in the cardinal’s mind.
First of all, it wasn’t an ordinary keyhole.
The sculpture was much larger and more complex than that, and the overall rim was an elongated oval.
This is rather elaborate painting…
“It’s strange.”
“what?”
“It looks just like a person’s profile.”
“You’re talking nonsense.”
“······················Paul, be careful of your feet from here on! Pebbles fell from the ceiling…”
Shake! The flagship Francisca looked back.
Suddenly, Baron Atsuma’s party seemed to have reached his chin.
At the end of the passage, torches and human shadows flickered together.
‘Cheolkong, chulkeng, chulkeng.’ The sound of footsteps was so close that I was terrified.
Sedric put his hand on the hilt and calmly stalked it.
“Tell me exactly.”
“I do not know. This is more than a key… It feels like a painting.”
“ah!”
The girl gasped loudly and then covered my mouth.
“Hey, I have the same thing. Maybe this is right!”
The child hastily patted the nape of his neck and pulled out a necklace from under his jacket.
It was a typical aristocratic item with diamonds on a gold string. no-
“This is a locket that my mother and I share. Inside, the profile of the deceased father…!”
-widely!
The prince snatched the rocket and opened the lid.
Inside, the side face of a noble man was carved in marble.
After confirming the positive angle, John immediately shook his head and took charge of the rear.
That was the key.
“Hurry.”
“Yes Yes!”
Without hesitation for a second, Francisca took off the rocket and brought it to the wall of the Holy Stone.
Meanwhile, John cut through the air and held the sword of the sharp wind in his hand.
The voices of the mercenaries grew as if they could touch the skin.
Their shadows, which seemed to be just lumps, were growing in a clear shape.
In the meantime, the girl was confused about the up and down of the rocket!
“Oh, isn’t this the way? Wait!”
“It will be fine, Baron. Don’t we have Princess Isenia?”
“The mercenaries also have a lot of experience with witchcraft. You can hold on to your worries.”
·······Isenia? Did I just say Isenia? The prince’s pupils enlarged.
“Yes. It will be neatly arranged in a few hours if you take out the beasts.”
“What is the time, in thirty or forty minutes our children will come……”
-click!
“That’s Okay!”
As soon as the child began to murmur, the entire wall of heavy stones was hollowed out.
The prince clenched his molars and pushed the door away with intense strength in his arms.
The square stone mass rotated slowly around the central axis. ‘Gugugugugu….’
“Did Isenia tell you to take the healing priest?”
“I couldn’t catch it. sorry. By the time we got to the room, the knights had already passed out…”
“I jumped out the window! I missed it on the ground—”
The shadows of the enemies approached as if they could be grasped by hand.
The dance of the torch and the noise of the metal were too close.
Cedric pushed the boy into the space across the street first and moved quickly. And I quickly checked the background.
The door closes automatically, but John’s movements are too slow.
He knew he was prepared for any unexpected situation, but his fists were clenched.
– Clap, Clap, Clap!
The moment when the toes of the enemy who had crawled under his nose were revealed—
-Gugugugung…!
“You have earned another minute with this.”
‘Whirririk!’ Johan, who came into the room like the wind, pulled out his sword and whispered.
Francisca just then wiped her chest and sighed, ‘Whoah!’
But the prince was not even given the opportunity to do so.
-Tododog!
It was because Gugu jumped off the man’s tall shoulder and started running at full speed towards the heart of the room.
Sedric and Johan stood stunned and looked at him.
The girl, who had lost strength in her legs and staggered, eventually collapsed to the floor.
“Oh My God······. What is that, what is that? Do you know what knights are?”
It must be so, in front of them—
-aaa
– Thump, Thump, Thump…!
A bead so huge that all six pupils could not contain it, was moving from the deepest point, emitting an enchanting light.
All sorts of magical tools and bloody spears that did not match the supreme beauty were scattered around it, creating an imbalance.
Although the interior was surrounded by transparent holy stones, it was dark and gloomy like a starless night.
The two men took off their helmets as if possessed by something.
After that, Sedric clenched the sword tied around his waist. Whether this heartbeat, which is vividly ringing in my ears right now, is mine or that of Hyegum…
– Thump, pound, pound!
I couldn’t tell if it was him or that Physis.
“…a power that I have never experienced before. I can see why Sneijder defended the salt marshes to the extent that they collapsed.”
“·················ogue.”
In the pure ether of the same attribute, the man felt the thrill of expanding the capillaries throughout his body.
The sword in his hand was also burning fiercely.
-Totototalk!
And finally, the fire lizard, who had regained everything it had, embraced Yeouiju with its tiny front paws.
“ah······.”
-·········.
From the round gray eyes, lava dripped.
*
-Whew!
Whoa, that’s too high! Where are you going?
-Flapping, flapping, flapping, flapping!
“Herit! Hold on, hold on! Pause!”
“yes?”
The child, who had been soaring towards the endless night sky, looked down at me and tilted her head.
With a bright smile on his face, he almost forgot what to say.
I was surprised the last time I saw it, but Sir John really doesn’t resemble him in the slightest.
Nevertheless, the white hair and mint-colored eyes are very well trimmed, especially since the atmosphere is similar and cool and handsome.
“Thank you for raising me well, no. not this! We still have business down there!”
I hurriedly corrected the sentence and looked down.
Tess, who was holding our waistbands, also looked down at our distant feet.
-Whee
Still, no other spheres were seen.
So I had to help here.
