Chapter Thirty(3/4)
Slien observed Maru's movements with great interest, but he soon knew what Maru was doing.
"You are thinking about the structure of this ruins!"
Maru looked at the ground attentively and nodded. He murmured in his mouth, and his fingers were busy drawing.
“Here!”
Maru stood up with a smug smile.
"What do you know?"
Although Redlik's expression was funny, it was undeniably serious.
"This is just a possibility..."
Maru said, looking back at the door they came in. The door was on the left side of the wall, but Maru ignored the existence of the door and walked straight to the empty right of the wall.
Afterwards, he took off his gloves and investigated carefully as if he was about to lie on the wall.
“It’s been a really busy day today.”
Maru took out the short sword from his arms and slowly inserted the sword into a crack in the wall. A stone on the wall was dug down. Maru caught the heavy stone and placed it carefully. Arrived on the ground.
"Fortunately it was not sealed with magic."
Maru murmured like this, reaching her hand into the hole behind the stone she had just taken down, then grabs a ring connected to the chain and pulls it out.
Then a square kilogram appeared on the wall next to it. The stone wall moved backward and moved to the left, revealing a deeper path inside.
"There is a hidden door!" Bill whistled in emotion.
"That's all, the treasure should be inside!"
This time, Bill took the lead in walking into the hidden path. The path extends straight forward for a while, and after walking to the end, there is a two-sided door with delicate patterns.
“It looks like it’s inside no matter how you look at it.”
Bill tried to push the door open with a little touch, but he couldn't open it.
Bill touched his head and turned around to ask Maru for help.
"Let's take a look."
Bill pulled the door open as he said. Bill turned around embarrassedly, and everyone laughed.
There was a magic light for lighting in the room, which made Bill a little dazed because it was too dazzling. He turned around and blinked, and then turned his eyes inside again.
I soon saw what they wanted.
There is a slender pedestal on the front of the room, with a box made of crystal placed on it, and a sword is placed in this box like a body lying in a coffin.
"This is amazing!"
Maru called out happily. In addition to the magic sword, there were also treasures that seemed valuable in the room.
Shi Liew found several ancient books and happily picked them up.
"One, two, three. Even if so many people come to the table, there are quite a few, and those who take the magic sword don't have to count it..."
"Maru!" Bill scolded Marru who was jumping beside him.
"I don't mind, I'm not short of money anyway, and I've got the magic sword I want."
Redlik walked into the box where the sword was being set with joy.
"Will there be any mechanism on the box?"
Redlik asked Maru, who was waving around like an estimate.
"It's better to check it out."
Maru said as she walked to the box and checked carefully with the pedestal as the center. There was no mechanism, but he found that there was a sign full of words under the pedestal. With just his little knowledge of ancient language, he could only recognize it briefly. If you use this sword, it is just called "Giant Slash", but of course he can't read the dense articles below.
(Anyway, the person who made this sword must be stinking, it has nothing to do with me.)
After Malu made such a judgment, he reached out to the crystal box, but suddenly pulled his hand back.
"Maru, what's wrong?" Bill asked worriedly.
"Well, nothing, it's just that this box is very ice-filled, I was scared."
In order to check if there is any mechanism, he put on the gloves he had just taken off, picked up the crystal box and put it on the ground, and at the same time he also judged that if it was just this box, it would definitely be a good price when taken outside.
"Okay, His Highness Redlik, this sword is undoubtedly a giant slash. Just pray that this sword has not been cursed!"
"Even if there is a curse, it's okay. In this way, you can defeat that giant and the abominable Principality of Vino!"
Redlik held the scabbard in his arms preciously after holding it in his arms.
"Don't you pull it out and see?" Maru also asked Redlik with interest.
"It should be pulled out when fighting the giant, otherwise it would be bad if it melted at that time."
While holding this sword, Redlik felt the coldness coming through the armor. His face also showed a satisfied expression because he achieved his goal, and even showed confidence in winning.
.
"It doesn't matter if you're happy..."
Suddenly there was a voice behind her back, and it was Xilith who spoke. Her voice was as cold as melting snow water, and with thorns like a rose.
"Don't forget that the exit here is surrounded by enemy soldiers. With this magic sword, you may really be able to defeat the giant, but if you have to fight dozens of soldiers, you may not have the chance of winning."
What Xilith said has restored everyone to themselves. As she said, if she cannot break through the enemy's siege, there is no way to fight against the giants.
A faint and steady breathing sound came from all around. One of the louder snoring should be from Maru.
Sirith, who was in the dark, had not closed her eyes. Although she was of course very tired, she didn't know why she couldn't sleep. In fact, in some aspects, she was only wrapped in a travel cloak and lay in the ancient kingdom.
The person who could sleep on the cold stone floor in the ruins was strange.
Although Xilith often sleeps in the open, she still likes to lie comfortably in bed and take a good bath before. In summer, it is okay to change to take a shower. For Xilith, she only has this time.
Only then will you realize that you are aristocratic.
There is also a noble here, a man with prefect blood, who can be said to be the lord of a country.
Xilith just realized that this person was not sleeping, but I don't know if the reason was the same as her. According to the news she heard in the city, this person had been hiding in this mountain and playing hide-and-seek with the enemy for a long time. Thinking of this
Just click, you know that he must be several times more tired than Hillis now.
"Your Highness, are you not asleep yet?"
Hillis whispered to avoid waking the others.
“…Well, I’m not asleep yet.”
A response came after a while.
"Don't call me by your noble name."
"Or what should I call it? Lord Prince or the next prefect?"
"I think you're mocking me."
"I just want to mock you."
"Xilis, I don't know what you're angry about..."
The sound of metal armor came, and Redlik seemed to sit up.
Xilith also got up. But no matter how big she opened her eyes, she could not see any images in the darkness.
"Anyway, I'm wrong, I apologize to you."
Another faint metal sound came, probably because he lowered his head.
"As a prince, you cannot bow your head to others at will. Has your father taught you?"
“…It’s true.”
Redlik's voice was a little surprised.
"How did you know?"
Of course, Xilith, who is also a nobleman, knows that aristocrats are more noble than a commoner. People in the upper rank should not bow their heads to lower ranks. No matter where they are, they must have this idea. I really didn't expect that they are both.
The humans are so arrogant, their thoughts and attitudes.
"Honestly, I don't know what I'm angry about, so I don't want anyone to apologize to me."
Even in the darkness, it is easy to imagine Redlik's current confused expression. Although this person is undoubtedly a prince, he was not restrained during his growth and seemed to be not very close to his father.
OK. Shelis had invited him to travel with him after the end of this mission. Shelis always felt that he wanted to agree, but he knew that his identity would not allow him to do so.
Redlik knew that he was destined to be the next ruler of the Principality of Hailan, and he accepted it.
Xilith always feels a little sad about this matter. Now Hailan's fate has almost ended. Most people know how difficult the aristocrats who perish in their country will have. At that time, Xilith's own family encountered
The tragedy is still deeply imprinted in her heart.
"It's sad to apologize to others without a reason to apologize, so you'll forgive me anyway."
Redlik said a little at a loss, even the grammar became weird.
"... Then you just don't apologize?"
To be continued...
