Episode 145 Castle of Wailing (2)

-come… Come to me… hurry… come.

I came to my senses.

It’s not an auditory hallucination.

I don’t know why, but it’s calling me precisely.

The magic barrier also has a mental protection spell attached to it.

A sound wave coming through it.

ghost?

A strange thought crossed my mind.

Due to the enlightenment in the elf village, the upper level battle is in the process of being developed in earnest.

Intimacy toward spirits and nature increased rapidly.

-come… Dear fate… … . I was waiting for you… … .

“If it’s an invitation, I won’t decline.”

The feeling conveyed is not bad.

This is not the call of a dark warlock.

A castle of wailing with many stories.

came out

The castle was as quiet as ever.

Although it is the last gateway before entering the royal castle, there is no revelry atmosphere.

The commercial district is not very developed.

All the magic lights you see occasionally.

-Come here… Come here… … .

The call became stronger.

I followed the sound and slowly headed to the place where the waves were transmitted.

“Are we here?”

A certain point of sexual tolerance.

After the month of Kapros ended, the inner city’s defenses became that much more relaxed.

If danger had reached this place, the kingdom would have been torn apart.

There were only occasional soldiers standing guard to protect the outer castle.

“Magic is… It’s not… How do I open it?”

I have been informed that waves of intense attraction begin from here.

An ordinary, resistant wall that no one would suspect.

-Come in… … .

With words.

Weeeeing.

The invisible barrier disappeared.

And the stairs leading to the basement reveal a shape.

“Dual space magic?”

Magic that only opens to those who are permitted to do so.

It is a call from someone greater than me.

Jump and jump.

I went down the basement stairs.

There was no such thing as fear.

I already knew from the voice calling me that it was meant well.

Slowly.

When I came down the stairs, the space immediately closed.

Magic that is not magic.

Pot! Pot! Pot!

The underground depth was considerable.

Every time I stepped on the stone stairs leading to the basement, a magic light automatically lit up.

An underground staircase with no common moss to be seen.

How deep did it go down like that?

“!!!”

The moment I came down the last stairs.

The underground space we encountered.

“W-what is this?”

A huge stone door appeared in front.

An iron gate reaching a whopping 5 meters high, which is hard to imagine in an underground space.

It was decorated with a brilliant golden dragon flying and roaring.

The majesty was so great that I felt fear the moment I saw it.

“no way… rare?”

It doesn’t make sense, but the possibility is high.

It was said that the Dragon Lair itself exists in an absurd space.

But there is no guardian.

There was something about it that was too weak to be called rare.

first… go!

I put my hand on the door.

OK… .

That’s it.

The door moved slowly.

thud!

Soon the door was fully opened.

Paaaaat!

An intense light pierced my eyes.

And the sight you see.

“Huh!”

An exclamation that came out spontaneously.

Amazing and awe-inspiring.

A majestic space that was carefully built by craftsmen.

It is a small royal palace.

About 100 marble stone pillars, each as big as the thick waist of a saint, are lined up without an inch of disarray.

The floor is also covered with the same type of marble.

Countless hours must have passed, but it is a quiet space without a trace of dust.

It was beautiful.

In front of the hundred or so stone pillars are human-shaped statues.

Hundreds of human statues that seem to come to life and move at any moment.

Everyone is bowing their heads and kneeling as if they had made a big mistake.

Moreover, they are bowing their heads in one direction.

Although it is a statue, its appearance is so severe that it cannot be described in words.

The lifelike facial expression is disconcerting.

No matter how you look at them, they look like they are alive.

The atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

Jump and jump.

I passed between the statues and moved forward.

An exceptionally dark space at the end.

Paaaaat!

Suddenly, golden light burst out.

“!!!”

The throne visible at that moment!

I slowly looked at the golden throne.

A white bone is sitting.

Also, gold and colorful jewels piled up on both sides of the throne.

It gave off a unique golden beautiful light that was indifferent to the weight of time.

The amount was so enormous that it could not be measured even at a glance.

That treasure trove that only rumors circulate about.

Even if you only dispose of the visible treasures, this is a huge amount, enough to easily build a kingdom.

The one who has turned white while sitting on a golden throne.

It seems as if it has been guarding the throne for a long time, and it looks as if even a gentle breeze will instantly turn it into dust.

The golden sword embedded in his chest pierces the golden chair and secures his white bones.

Even though he has white bones, he maintains an upright posture as if he does not want to lose his original dignity.

A beautiful crown with red rubies rests on the armrest of the throne.

One side of the throne where the white bones sit.

Anyone can see that it is a wizard stone statue.

The expression of the wizard stone statue, with its beard hanging down to its navel, is full of sadness.

His gaze is aimed squarely at the king.

When it comes to life, it looks like a scene from a movie.

“What the hell is this place…” … .”

Traces of petrification magic felt in the stone statues.

They were clearly people who were alive before the statues.

At that moment, goosebumps ran down my entire body.

It is an 8-circle spell.

Magic used as a curse.

It prevents one from returning to nature even after death.

The worst punishment on this continent.

An object lying on the feet of a wizard stone statue caught my eye.

It was a faded magic letter.

I had a feeling I had to see it.

I heard a letter.

It was written in blood.

I looked at the contents of the letter.

-Airando Kingdom Calendar Year 787.

The fate of our Ayrando kingdom has come to an end.

“Airando Kingdom?”

It is a kingdom that was ruined in a past era that I have also heard of.

-Here, in the king’s temple, His Majesty King Kaline and his knights blame themselves with tears of blood and sacrifice themselves to the gods, asking for forgiveness for their sins.

The contents of the letter are filled with desperation.

-The good king committed suicide with the sword of King Laperados, the founding king. The king’s blood is soaking my feet.

Soon I too will go to where the King is. This is deplorable! Due to the evil conspiracy of the empire, even the subjects were driven to starvation and painful death. I want to make up for my sins by shedding tears of blood.

“He was a loyal subject.”

Even among wizards, there are people like this.

-Elcurendo, the founder of the empire, was the first king of Laperados who, when he founded this kingdom, considered him important and granted him the largest land and gave him the title of duke.

His descendants recruited the kingdom’s nobles and rebelled against the royal family. Furthermore, he paid a huge and dirty bribe to the wicked Black Dragon Ashmarian, something that no human being should ever do. This brought about the destruction of surrounding nobles and kingdoms, and finally he brought his bloody sword to his homeland, the Kingdom of Airando.

“Ashmarian? Dirty bribe???”

These are unknown words.

A dirty bribery attack that no human being should engage in.

The contents of the letter became increasingly serious.

-What is even more unforgivable! The king said he would surrender, but the evil dragon Ashumarian summoned the flames of hell here because he only wanted death for everyone. And all the good and helpless people were killed.

Oh, control!

Even now, the people’s wailing can be heard! The king’s heart is turning red. I could teleport the king with my magic, but what king is without subjects and subjects? The king asked his ancestors to commit suicide by committing suicide.

“To that king… “It’s that subject.”

Every scene was vividly depicted before my eyes.

-It’s unfair, but human life is nothing more than trivial things to God. I also break the chains of fate here.

Fortunately, before Leshuparos, the Gold Dragon Lord, returned to Mana’s embrace, he was able to seal this place with the power of Leshupars, the sword of wisdom made from dragonborn. Without being detected, he was able to cast petrification magic on his good majesty and his loyal subjects. Furthermore, I am leaving a message to the person I am destined to meet.

“Leshfar? Then that sword… … .”

A sword stuck in the king’s white heart.

The sword body is golden.

That sword made from the bones of a gold dragon that I had only heard about.

-A fateful person! Get revenge!

Slay the evil dragon behind the evil empire!

It wouldn’t be difficult if you could discover the truth about the Sword of Wisdom, Reshpar, and use its power.

“truth? … strength?”

The wizard’s letter contained extremely secret content.

I don’t know why I’m a fate person.

-Ashumarian’s goal is the extinction of all humans on this Gaisha continent!

In addition to revenge, I also ask you to play a role in preventing the extinction of all humans.

Among the dragons that were commanded by Odin, the creator of this continent, to be a being of contemplation and control, Ashumarian is the only one who has become an evil dragon and laughs at Odin! He may be plotting the extinction of humans using powers other than his own.

O lover of good mana! Don’t let down your guard and gather powerful people to fight against his plot!

Please do your best to ensure that cruel incidents like those that occurred in the Kingdom of Airando are never repeated in the human world again.

I ask you one last time to pull the sword from the king’s heart and set the good king’s soul free.

This was the end of the will and the endless letter.

Confusing.

In the end, a letter from a wizard turned into a stone statue telling me that my mana is good.

“It’s the Black Dragon Ashmarian… … .”

It gave me goosebumps that I had to have a dragon as my enemy.

I’ve never even imagined it.

No matter how strong I am, it is difficult to deal with a dragon that throws 9th circle magic like a joke.

They are the guardians of the human world called Middle Earth.

It is a powerful being that blocks demons.

“Leshpar… … .”

I looked at the king who had turned white.

The moment the sword is drawn, the king’s white bones will turn to dust.

It’s a request I’m reluctant to ask.

But the wizard’s will.

I’m also curious about a sword called Leshpar.

A golden sword embedded in a white heart.

If you look closely, you can see a dragon engraved on the handle.

Lechepar decorated with golden jewels.

I took my hand carefully.

I deeply engraved my respect for the dead in my heart.

I spread my palm out on the handle with the dragon symbol embossed on it and gently squeezed it.

That moment.

Paaaaaaa!
