377 – The most beautiful woman # 32

“Rudenstone.”

I mentioned it briefly.

About the card game called “Ludden Stone”.

Yes, it all started with that card game.

“Eris, the dice you appraised back then were obtained from the forest keeper’s hut. I got it by winning a game called Ludenstone.”

“Hmm, it’s Ludenstone. It’s a pretty classic game. “I finally understand.”

Victorica asks.

“What is Ludenstone?”

Doesn’t Victoria know about Luden Stone?

Well, I don’t think this guy is very knowledgeable about card games or board games.

As I was trying to explain lightly, Eris took out a book from somewhere.

Tak-.

A thick, old book.

It seems to be at least hundreds of years old.

Kii Iik-.

When I opened the bookcase that made an unsettling sound, I noticed an illustration drawn a long time ago and a text about a card game.

「Ludden Stone: A card game inspired by the war fought by the gods long ago. Rather than simply a game, it is closer to a ritual used to predict good fortune and fortune and victory or defeat in war.”

After that, there was something written there, but the book was so old that the letters were blurred and couldn’t be seen.

Anyway, to put it simply, it is a game that was originally played as a magical ritual.

It reminds me of the saying that Yut, a game commonly played during holidays, also originated from fortune telling.

Eris said.

“In fact, Ludenstone’s cards are not made normally. It is made using the souls of real beasts, animals, or monsters. Shall I show you?”

Zek-.

Eris brought an empty card.

It was literally a white, blank card.

━Croak.

Eris places a frog taken from a beaker on top of the card.

After that, Eris muttered a spell, and the frog’s body melted and began to be stuffed into the card.

The frog finally became a 2-cost card with 2 attack power and 3 stamina.

“Whoa… How about it? In this way, the soul and body itself are sealed in a card and taxidermied. It takes quite a bit of effort to simply make one frog card. That’s why it’s expensive.”

It seemed quite difficult for Eris to catch her breath.

Would an Eris-level warlock have a hard time making one card?

It was a moment when I understood that one card pack containing 5 random cards costs 500,000 Rennes.

However, here I have one question.

“Then, this means that there is a high probability that the Siegfried Card is indeed a card created using Siegfried’s soul.”

Eris nods her head at my words.

“If you have seen Siegfried’s card, there is a high probability that it is truly a card created through Siegfried’s soul. But honestly, I can’t believe that they make heroes into cards. “The only ones who can do something like that are the gods.”

God─.

It was a time when I thought about the powerful beings I had seen in the Pantheon.

Eris said.

“It’s a game that originally originated from a duel between the great warriors of the gods. “Rudenstone’s name has been changed to suit the current times, and according to records, it was previously called ‘Einherjar’.”

Einherjar-.

When I was wondering why the name would be so difficult, Victorica, who is well-versed in ancient languages, kindly added an explanation.

“It means the eternal ones. I heard that when heroes and warriors die in battle, they go to heaven, Valhalla, and become members of the Einherjar. Become a warrior in the war for the gods.”

I guess so.

When a person dies, the right answer is to go to the ‘Pantheon’ and meet the noisy nymph Tutorioll.

Victoria continued her words.

“Anyway, I honestly don’t know if it’s a card game or something. The important thing is that Siegfried is in Rashgard Forest, west of the mainland kingdom. “Is there any way for us to get there today?”

A distance that requires at least a week of sailing and carriage ride.

Will I be able to visit that place in one day?

Soon Eris burst out laughing.

“Did you forget my major? Dreams and soul curses are my specialty. From now on, you will pour out your souls through ‘dreams.’”

Ah, indeed.

I was convinced.

When I was looking for the missing Morrían, Eris once sent my soul to Morrían.

My soul, which flew away regardless of location and time, searched for Morian and discovered that he was in the forest west of Ludens.

It sounds like they are going to do it on a slightly wider and wider scale.

“You will need an object closely related to the location as a catalyst, but I don’t think there is anything to worry about since I have Viktor’s dice.”

“Hmm…”

“Oh, by the way, didn’t you say Nike Mokemoke is from that forest? I remember he also took a black magic class in his first year. “It would be easier in many ways if he helped me.”

I shrugged my shoulders at Eris’ words.

“Well, Nike is not in a position to help others right now.”

I’m sure he’s curled up right now and falling asleep peacefully on the cushion.

The current Nike was both a human and a raccoon.

* * *

Late in the evening.

We gathered at Eris’ workshop.

Who are we here?

Victorika and I.

And it was Eris and Kriemhild.

“Ugh, my stomach feels nauseous…”

And there was Nike who complained of pain as if she was suffering from a hangover.

Also, next to it, “Ruden Stone’s strongest card is the Nymph Deck… There is also Arnoy who is making a lot of noise.

I asked.

“Nike, are you sure you’re okay? “I’m not even in my right mind yet.”

“Ugh, it’s okay! Because I am Victor’s partner! Only! Viktor has asked for my help, and I cannot remain silent!”

I guess so.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like it’s too much.

Eris said, having prepared several beds.

“I prepared the ingredients in a hurry, so I can send out three souls at once, four at most. First of all, Krimhilt is fixed. “Would you like to decide on the remaining three?”

It won’t be difficult.

Me, Victorica, Kriemhild, and Nike… It’s a bit ambiguous.

Due to Nike’s poor condition, the last place ended up being Arnoy.

“I’m telling you to trust only this Arnoy… !”

I feel anxious for no reason.

Is this right?

Zek-.

Eris installed the mirror she received from Victorica nearby.

“I will watch your condition with this mirror. If it feels dangerous, I can help you with magic. Don’t be too trusting. “I can’t even predict what’s going to happen.”

Huuu-.

Eris blowing white smoke out of her mouth.

“Well, first of all, let your body sleep… ” No, I’ll put you in suspended animation. Be careful because if you stay too long, your soul may not be able to find your body and return.”

I lay down on the bed.

Nike and Eris can be heard muttering and reciting incantations.

As the sound spread more and more, my body became as heavy as wet cotton.

Then, when I came to my senses.

“…”

I was standing in the middle of a dark forest.

A forest with lots of thorn trees growing under the full moon.

“Did I really fail?”

The Rashgard Forest I remembered was a peaceful, paradise-like forest.

However, the forest in front of me felt like it would be more appropriate to call it ‘magyeong’ rather than the national park where the mokemokes live.

━Grrrr-.

━Kyaaak-!

The sounds of wild beasts of unknown origin can be heard from all directions.

I am now a soul with ‘substance’.

I am reminded of the caution that if attacked, the physical side of the body is also dangerous.

If possible, I hope we don’t have to fight.

“It looks like the forest was abandoned by the forest owner.”

At that time, someone spoke next to me.

I was a little surprised and turned my head to see Kriemhild looking around next to me.

“Forests abandoned by forest owners are prone to becoming demonic forests like this. Places like this are filled with powerful monsters and attack people.”

I guess so.

Looking at the footprints of Mokemokes here and there, it seemed like this was the Rashgard Forest.

However, it seems that the owner of the forest, ‘Lesh’, has been absent for quite some time.

“… Ugh, I feel bad.”

At that time, Victorica appeared from somewhere.

Three.

It really is three souls flying in one place.

Eris’s skills are excellent.

“Then, let’s go.”

I traced my memories and headed to the forest keeper’s cabin.

After passing through the withered old trees and thorn bushes, a cabin that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time finally appeared.

The light is not on.

Giik-.

When I opened the door and went in, there was a terrible smell, as if something had rotted.

I turned on a nearby lamp.

You can see the inside of the cabin rotting with mold and moss growing here and there.

Victoria covering her nose with her palm

“How did it end up like this? Where is Nike’s dad going? The atmosphere is very different from the last time I came.”

“The West is currently in the midst of a civil war due to the De Winter family. “Maybe he was swept away by it and left his place or moved to his new home.”

That’s all I can guess.

The important thing is whether there is what we want in the basement of this cabin.

Soon Kriemhild looked around and asked.

“Really… Zeke is in a place like this? Where on earth?”

“It’s underground.”

Ki Ik.

I opened the door to the basement and went down the stairs made of mud walls.

There was a fairly large space underground, where Forest Keeper Lesh kept all kinds of games, dice, game pieces, and cards. Fortunately, this place was just as I remembered.

“That drawer, as I remember, Ludenstone’s card was there.”

It was when I pointed to the drawer with my finger.

Kriemhild, who looked quite nervous, stretched out her hand toward the drawer.

Grumble-.

Finally, the drawer opens and a bunch of cards are taken out.

It was a moment filled with strange relief.

I was wondering what if I didn’t have it.

Swish, swish-.

Kriemhild looked around at the stack of cards.

Then he shouted as if he was very surprised.

“「Bull Hunter – Theseus」? There is also “Invincible – Hercules”! What is this, these people are all great heroes with ambiguous endings! Why in a place like this? “What a discovery!”

“So, what do you think? Is Siegfried there?”

In response to Victorica’s question, Kriemhild shuffled through the stack of cards.

And then he finally catches a card.

“This… There is… ! 「Dragon Slayer – Siegfried」… ! You were in a place like this… ! I was in a place like this… !”
