Episode 640
The tombs and ruins of the empire were not easy places. Especially the older the place, the more so.
Tombs and ruins built in the days of the Old Kingdom were equipped with various powerful means to ward off intruders, and these measures were more than enough to tear the unfortunate intruders to shreds.
In order to break through this tomb, it was simply not possible by force. He had to be knowledgeable in all kinds of studies, especially archeology, and had the wisdom and boldness to remain calm in unexpected situations.
At the same time, I needed intuition and luck to run away if things went wrong.
Thatâs why wizards hired adventurers to send them instead of entering these tombs or ruins when they were discovered.
It wasnât that he recognized and sent adventurers as talented people with the above talents, and it was because he wouldnât get hurt even if he failed.
Gainando unknowingly hid behind Lee Han and asked Arsil.
âIs this a good place?â
âThis is good enough.â
Lee Han let out a sigh of relief.
It looked pretty good than I was worried about.
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
Yoner carefully asked while Nilia and Gainando looked at Lee Han in amazement.
âLee Han. What does it mean to be okay⦠to be okay?â
âItâs neither too hot nor too cold, right?â
To Lee Han, Arsil was a kind and kind older brother, but he was a bit numb because he had been hanging out only with spirits for too long.
If you go to a place where lava boils or your exhaled breath freezes, the human race could be a bit dangerous.
In comparison, the ancient tombs here were relatively pleasant. Other than the cool air, I didnât feel any danger.
Kainando muttered in tears.
âDonât come over to play.â
âWhat did you say, Cainando?â
âOh nothing. Nothing.â
Nilia asked as if she still didnât understand.
âWardanaz. I have a question.â
âask. Nilia.â
âThis is your familyâs estate, right?â
âyes. Itâs out of town, but itâs also a manor here.â
ââ¦If a tomb like this is found in an ordinary manor, shouldnât we call in more people?â
Even if it was originally a noblemanâs estate, it was rare to find tombs or ruins there.
In the first place, it was because the more people burned, the faster the tomb or ruins were discovered.
Of course, among the nobles who had vast and remote estates, there were still people who still found tombs or ruins within their estates, but when they found them, they usually⦠âDonât they call
more people?â
Sending knights or wizards under the family, hiring adventurers, hiring mercenaries, or at least calling the strong expert shadow patrol in the nearby mountains⦠When Nilia was a child, she also had memories of being begged by people from the northern baron family
.
A labyrinth was found in the territory, but the monsters kept climbing up and the retainers were disappearing.
âOriginally, thatâs not true.â
Lee Han nodded his head politely.
âBut my familyâs estate is so vast and so remote that this happens more often than I thought. Thatâs why I donât call people one by one.â
Arsil nodded as if agreeing with his brother.
As any wizard knows, bizarre things happen more often where there is a lot of magic.
As the magical power accumulated in one place creates all kinds of changes, cracks with other dimensions are created, the rules of reality are distorted, and comics are brought about.
If it was a family like the Wardanaz family, one of the largest magic experiments conducted in real time in the empire, the surroundings could not be affected.
After hearing the explanation, Yoner said as if he finally understood.
âAh, is that why there werenât so many people around the mansion?â
âno. Itâs just because my parents are annoying to have people around.â
ââ¦â¦â
Arsil made an excuse saying, âIn fact, there is such a purposeâ, but it did not reach his friends.
âAnyway, this kind of thing happens often in the territory, so I tend to leave it alone unless itâs a big deal. The knights will have no hands left to respond to each one.â
âWhat is the standard for big things?â
âSomething like the Golem Rebellion?â
Nilia was speechless and couldnât ask any more.
Seeing the face of a friend who answered as if it were natural, he felt helpless, not knowing where to start talking.
Gainando whispered as he looked at Yoner and Nilia.
âDry! please! I donât want to go in there! Itâs not even Einrogard, why!â
âDonât warlocks like going to the grave?â
âWhat nonsense! So, all alchemists like to lock themselves in their workshops and prepare materials?!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI like itâ¦â
Yoner thought to himself.
However, contrary to Gainandoâs whisper, Lee Han was quite motivated.
Seeing the relatively intact tomb, he became greedy.
âolder brother. How many trinkets are in there? Are there any old gold or silver coins? do you have? hey Good for you.â
Hearing Arsilâs explanation, Lee Hanâs face brightened and turned around.
âGreat. you. After touring the estate, can I take some extras with me?â
I was a little sorry that the friends who came to visit the mansion were constantly bored, but I was able to take a valuable bonus as well as tour the manor.
I couldnât help but be happy from the standpoint of treating my friends.
âLee Han.â
Gainando called to Lee Han in a thin voice.
The moment I entered that dark, open-mouthed ancient underground tomb, it seemed that I couldnât tell whether this was the Wardanaz family estate or Einrogard.
âwhy?â
ââ¦â¦â
However, Cainando couldnât bear to say, âI donât want to go inâ.
I felt the emotions of Lee Han, who was excited to give his friends a pleasant experience.
How could I say âI canât get in!â over there!
ââ¦Yo Yoner has something to say!â
âWhat kind of garbage is that?â
Nilia murmured in horror.
Earlier, when Ink made Gainando the enemy of Yoner, I thought, âIsnât that a bit harsh?â
âYoner? why?â
Despite the betrayal he had just done, Gainando sent an earnest look to his relative.
please!
âPlease dry it!â
Yoner replied with a smile.
âGuinando said he was looking forward to the tomb. They say he learned to use black magic in times like this.â
âguy!â
Lee Han patted Gainando on the shoulder as if he was going to die.
When Arsil asked why, Lee Han became proud and boasted about his friend.
âHere, this guy named Gainando is majoring in black magic⦠Ah. Excellent. Among the students who study black magic with me, I am counted in the top five.â
âThere are less than five people who hear black magicâ¦?â
âShh.â
Yoner covered Niliaâs mouth.
Arsil praised Gainando as if he was proud.
He didnât know exactly what he was saying, but he could feel that he was praising him, so even though he was in tears, Gainando nodded.
âPersimmon⦠Thank youâ¦â
âKainando, you are finally starting to take an interest in studying magic. happy.â
Arsil asked, puzzled. Lee Han replied with a straight face.
âno. older brother.â
âWhat did you say?â
âYou said you were my nephew.â
ââ¦â¦â
* * *
I made a fuss at the entrance, but surprisingly, the inside of the tomb was not dangerous.
There were no traps near the entrance, but above all, it was because Arsilâs ability was fraudulent.
Drooling!
Every time Arsil took a step, new spirits appeared and managed the path.
The rock spirits repaired the floor that was about to collapse, repaired the cracked ceiling, and the sand and earth spirits appeared and filled in any cracks.
The light spirits lighted the path to prevent Arsil from falling, and flew in front to check if there was a trap. If there was a trap, the spirits ran and nullified it.
Lee Han and his friends who saw it from behind couldnât help but be astonished.
âThatâs ridiculousâ¦!â
In terms of spirit affinity alone, Nilia was one of the most outstanding axis here, but what Arsil is showing now is beyond imagination.
How could one person be blindly loved by so many different kinds of spirits?
âHow is this possible?!â
âYour brother used to be like that.â
Lee Han answered with a grunt.
It was just an innate affinity that no theory or magic could explain.
Shocked, Nilia muttered involuntarily.
âBut Wodanaz is afraid of the spirits and avoids themâ¦â
ââ¦â¦â
âAh. no. Iâm sorry.â
âIâm okay. Itâs true, but what?â
âIâm really sorryâ¦! Sorry!â
âBecause itâs okay.â
âActually, itâs not okay! Just be mad!
âItâs really okay, so why are you angry?â
Nilia was desperate to be on the letter blacklist again.
âIs it that great?â
âYou donât know because youâre only playing with the undead because youâre doing black magic. How great is that.â
âIt has nothing to do with black magic!â
Gainando, who had been scolded for asking a question, was furious.
I thought it was definitely comfortable.
Even if the undead were that respectful, it would have been worthwhile to be a warlock.
âLee Han. Han Lee. Is that impossible with undead?â
ââ¦Cainan Island. Are you crazy?â
âAh no⦠I asked because it might be possible for you.â
Of course, Gainando knew that such a thing was impossible as an undead.
Basically, the undead were ferocious and violent beings, so it was impossible to take care of them in detail like that.
If you gave the command to the undead, âIâm trying to break through the tomb, check the floor, check the ceiling, and check the trap in frontâ, there were cases where the trap was activated on purpose.
But if itâs Lee Hanâ¦
âNot everything is possible with me. Guinan Island.â
âBut Leehan, you are afraid of the undead. So I thought it might be.â
ââ¦â¦â
Lee Han kicked Gainando who was walking in front.
âwhy?!â
âCaught on a stone.â
Knock knock knock
knock- Arsil stopped and tapped on the wall of the tomb. Yoner asked, puzzled.
âHow did you know there was a road in here?â
âThe spirit told me.â
âItâs really fraudulentâ¦!â
I tried not to be envious, but as a magic school student, I couldnât help but be envious of Arsilâs ability.
If he had that ability, even when doing alchemy, he could just summon a seasoned and excellent spirit and listen to him.
Even when reading various old books, it was enough to call a spirit who could read this languageâ¦
âThis is the space where the knights who guarded the tomb stayed, and there are silver burial items and some books⦠Ah. Has your brother already taken the book? What book was it?â
Arsil was excited by his brotherâs interest and explained what the book was.
So, once upon a time, knights told a lady at the courtâ¦
âThey said it was a book written in useless novels. Letâs go in.â
ââ¦â¦â
Arsil was sullen, but went inside unnoticed.
In the room sat a huge rock, Hecatoncheires. Lee Han and his party were shocked when they saw a monster that could easily defeat any giant.
ââ¦older brother. Isnât that a hecatoncheires? You didnât tell me because I didnât seem interested? â¦Of course I like treasure more than monsters, but shouldnât you tell me whatâs there before you go into the room?â
While Lee Han gritted his teeth, Arsil shrugged his shoulders and apologized, then spoke to Hecatoncheires.
Hecatoncheires, who was glaring at Lee Hanâs party ferociously, turned his head quickly after hearing Arsilâs request. Lee Han said to his friends.
âDonât make too much noise and letâs play quietly.â
ââ¦â¦â
