Chapter 229
Episode 229
“Grandpa! “Please talk to me today as well.”
“Okay, okay. “What should I tell you?”
“It’s about when I was in the military. “That’s the most fun!”
Nam Ki-cheol smiled as he looked at So-min next to him.
“LOL, how much did I tell you? “Did you talk about the war in Africa?”
[Okay, I’m about to die. Your daughter will be quite surprised if she finds out that the author is her real grandfather.]
[Shouldn’t you talk about it?]
[Yes, it’s a problem between the two of you, and it’s not something you need to hide from Somin. And it looks like your subordinates have known about him from the beginning.]
Alec and other quick-witted revelers also seemed to have noticed.
[Maybe they know that kid too, so they treat him more kindly. That smart kid’s insight is amazing.]
“Maybe so.”
Namgung had a bitter look on his face as he listened to the words of Mu-myeong, Lathea, and Natas.
“But in the end, it’s up to the father to cross the line. I have never been stopped. “I guess there’s something scary about a veteran who killed dozens of people on the battlefield.”
Namgung stood up from his seat.
While coming here, he saw Nam Ki-cheol’s hand go in and out of his shabby combat uniform several times.
The appearance of grabbing and releasing something.
It was enough to know what was inside his combat uniform without even having to say anything.
It must be a circlet obtained in the Hall of Thunder.
“Major Nam. If you have something to do, you better do it. Now we have arrived at our destination, and there may not be as many opportunities as we think.”
“Hmm….”
Nam Gung-cheol clicked his tongue as he listened to Nam Gung’s remark.
“Roxanne. “Have you finished interpreting the phrase?”
“huh. Alec and Zeren are currently working on the summoning circle. “Because so much time has passed, there are places where Jinbeop’s structures have been destroyed.”
“You have to hurry. The next door will open soon.”
“The rest of the Revelators are there, so don’t worry too much. “Because they can now do their part.”
“well. The owner of the next door has changed to a black dragon. “He is by no means an easy opponent.”
“That’s why I left Den Haul behind. is not it?”
Namgung nodded at her words.
“We will be able to open the entrance soon.”
Pillars of Hercules located in the Strait of Gibraltar.
As Alec drew a circle above his head on an old rock pillar, Roxanne unfolded the old scroll she was holding.
“Would it be better to stay a little further away?”
As Namgung stepped back, she began to recite the phrase written on the scroll.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu whose—
then the written letters slowly started to emit light.
The scroll slowly left her hand, rose into the sky, and boom! As it burned, the ground began to shake violently.
Kugggggggg…
At the end of the strait, a strong whirlpool arose and a pillar of pure white light was created.
“That’s the door to Ran’s treasury.”
“Everyone, stay alert. No one knows what’s inside there. “It could simply be a warehouse containing weapons, but on the other hand, it could also contain numerous traps.”
Namgung spoke to the people gathered in front of the Gate of Light.
“Think of it as a new dungeon that you have to conquer, rather than a place to resupply before going to Wu’s fortress.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“yes!!”
When Namgoong gave Somin a look, she lightly tapped the floor with her cane a few times.
Tung- Tung-!
As the tip of the World Tree staff began to glow slightly, the fairies around her sprinkled sparkling powder on the heads of the group.
“It’s fairy wing powder. “It has the power to allow you to fly for a while.”
When Somin launched her body as if to look first, they flew up into the sky skillfully.
* * *
“Hmm… I guess it’s less important than I thought.”
After entering the door of light, they slowly began to look around.
Contrary to what I had feared, the space behind the door was surprisingly ordinary.
Although it looks old, there are temples that are not broken as if someone had been maintaining them, and buildings where people might have lived remain intact.
“well. “I don’t think you can say it’s ordinary.”
Namgung pointed his finger at the sky as if telling her to look. Then the sky that seemed clear began to shimmer.
“The sky… is moving?”
“Look Carefully. “What does that look like?”
“yes?”
Park Hyo-joo tilted her head slightly at Namgung’s words and stared into the sky.
The movement of the clear sky was strangely swaying along with the wind.
“Could it be… it’s water and not the sky?”
“A city under water. Do you have any idea where this place is?”
“I can’t believe it. “Atlantis, where the treasure trove of Ran disappeared in legend… Or rather, does this really exist?”
“Because much of the history that remains in reality is connected to status. But that doesn’t necessarily mean this place is a real space.”
“Because the door of light itself that we have already entered is not real. “I don’t know if this is a virtual space or not.”
As Roxanne added her explanation, Park Hyo-joo looked around again as if curious.
“That’s why it was so huge. “I thought it was more like a city than a warehouse.”
“It’s a pleasure to have found a forgotten historical site, but we are not happy that his treasure is a city.”
“Why?”
“It’s too wide. “We can’t search everything in here.”
“Ah…”
Namgung slowly stretched his arms above his head.
“But the good news is that there is a huge amount of water overhead.”
▶ Use the Primeval Dragon’s Bracelet.
▶ Ichthyosaur Jewel is activated.
Suaaaa…!!
More than twenty sea fish appeared through the water floating like a roof above the sky.
As he stretched out his upward hand, they scattered in all directions.
“Thanks to the dragon core, the number of male fish has increased, but I don’t know if 20 fish will be able to cover this large city.”
“Are you just worrying about that?”
“…what?”
“That’s a problem when you’re alone. “Who are these people here?”
Park Hyo-joo smiled at him and snapped her fingers.
Wow…!!
Then, several wind spirits began to fly. After that, the summoned beasts of Somin’s fairy Zeren’s wisp Roxanne scattered in all directions.
“…Right.”
Namgung smiled shyly at those who were looking at him with a confident expression.
“It still seems awkward to rely on it.”
“You don’t have to rely on it. “You just have to leave the little things to us.”
He looked at Park Hyo-joo and nodded.
“I think I found it!”
When Somin shouted to Namgung, they all moved in the direction the fairy flew.
* * *
“Are we here…?”
“The fairies say that an unknown energy is flowing from this place.”
In front of the broken ruins that arrived across the center of the city, the fairies were talking to Somin.
“It looks like the wisps and spirits have the same thoughts.”
“Can you find the entrance?”
“Hmm… let’s take a look.”
Park Hyo-ju had the spirits search the surroundings. However, the entrance to the collapsed ruins was not easily visible, and nothing special could be found.
“What should I do?”
“Get out of the way.”
Sreung –
At that moment, Alek Traman drew his sword and slashed with all his might towards the collapsed ruins.
Kaan-!!!
“Whoop?!”
However, the moment the blade touched the debris, a strong force threw him away. The repulsion force was so strong that his body was pushed backwards.
“…Cough!!”
He spat out red blood along with his exhaled breath.
“Are you okay?”
Jeren hurriedly cast a recovery spell on him, and Alec nodded and looked ahead.
“It looks like you can’t break it with force. “What should I do?”
“There is a way to get in, so Ran probably told me to take his Noble Phantasm. What do you think, Major M? “Can you see the path?”
“Hmm…”
Nam Ki-cheol placed his hand on the wreckage.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!!
Then black smoke rose from under his palm and wrapped around his arm like a whip.
“What is that…?”
“I’ve never seen anything like that before…”
People who didn’t know about the black route couldn’t hide their surprised expressions at Nam Ki-cheol’s abilities.
Park Hyo-joo, So-min, and Roxanne, who deal with otherworldly beings such as spirits and fairies, looked nervous due to Nam Ki-cheol’s power.
“It’s a terrible morale….”
Roxanne wrapped Somin’s shoulders and looked at Namgoong.
Paang–!!
In a situation where everyone was tense, Nam Ki-cheol’s arm was thrown away like Alec’s a moment ago, along with a sharp roar.
“Huh?!”
Nam Ki-cheol’s body stumbled and shook violently.
Chiiik….
As black smoke rose from the back of his hand, as if it had been burned, he shook his head, shaking off the numbness in his arm.
“It cannot be opened using the black route.”
“Lan said that Wu’s fortress can be reached through the black route.”
“Because the properties of the two phases are completely different. “If my power works for Woo, it won’t work for Ran.”
“Hmm… then what should I do?”
“The black route is like forcing open the door of a closed dungeon. “If my power doesn’t work, it means that an authorized person, not force, is needed to open the door.”
“A person allowed to run… Is there really such a person?”
“Well, I don’t know that far. However, no matter how special Ran is, if he is of stature, there is bound to be at least one person he has a relationship with.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Of course he must be the revealer of Ran.”
“Hmm….”
Namgung sighed softly at Nam Ki-cheol’s words.
“Leoric. Do you know anything? “You were the revealer of Wu.”
[Hmm… Even when I experienced the carnival, the story was sealed. Naturally, he did not have a revelator.]
“Does that mean it was further back than your time?”
[Even so, it is not clear. I don’t know how long ago he had a revelator.]
“But he wouldn’t have asked us to go to his treasury without any reason. He must have made the offer because he could get in…”
Namgung gazed at the collapsed entrance of the treasury.
‘Who among us is qualified to open the inside?’
Ringing…
it was that time.
Namgung placed his hand on the platform as he felt an alien trembling in his arms.
At that moment, something appeared outside the squadron even though he did not intend to do so.
“This is…”
Looking at the small glass bottle placed in his palm, Namgung let out a low exclamation without realizing it. There were
[the tears of humans in the beginning]
.
Another person besides themselves.
“Lu(淚).”
