I was reincarnated as an all-time talented genius of a famous family Chapter 178
119. Those who ran away (1)
I walked carefully and carefully.
Because you never know what will come out of the inside.
Thanks to that, the movement speed was a little slow, but it was still as comfortable as the heart.
If it’s a place I know well, I don’t know, this is a land of severe cold where people rarely step.
“… … .”
Thanks to that, the guys who had been talking the whole time here were following me very quietly.
In fact, it is a cave with nothing special.
There is no artificial trace on the wall, and there is no smell or hint of a trap.
Still, in case you didn’t know, I walked without letting go of the strings of tension,
And how much time has passed
“be careful.”
I found a cracked floor.
Judging from the water leaking out little by little, there is a possibility that it will go down with a little force.
Took.
I tossed a few rocks around and jumped over to find a safe place to land.
“come here.”
Fortunately, the ground didn’t go out, and we jumped one after another and passed safely.
“Puheheeng.”
Last was Chiron.
It’s because he’s big, and he’s nimble too.
Hey, it’s natural to be nimble. It is fortunate that the cave is large enough for Chiron to jump like this.
“let’s go.”
And now we slowly let go of our guard. I walked quite a bit from the entrance, but I didn’t see any signs of a trap.
instead-
“That… … .”
I saw something different.
“Skull?”
Priscilla stepped forward and shook her head, as if trying to raise her divine power.
“They are not undead.”
So what is it?
I’ll have to go and check it out.
Anyway, the words of St. Aimar come to mind.
He said he found this necklace in front of some remains.
“Then are those remains correct?”
“Isn’t it? I don’t think Saint Aimar could have gone deeper than this.”
First, I looked at the remains.
As for the skeletons, I’m probably the only expert here.
I’ve seen more corpses than anyone else here, and I’ve seen more remains.
And I asked a lot.
The corpses of my men, with my own hands.
“There doesn’t seem to be any major trauma.”
Usually, the way to estimate the cause of death in a skeletal state is to look at the bones.
If you’ve been hit or stabbed to death by something, there will definitely be traces of it on your bones.
However, this skeleton has no trauma.
but… … .
The hand seems to be holding something tightly.
Could it have been the necklace?
“The cave is also quite cold, but it must have taken a lot of time for only the remains to remain.”
“I know.”
Anyway, nothing special about it.
However, as much as St. Aimar found the necklace here… … .
If you go further inside, something will come out.
“let’s go.”
We started walking again.
Still, a feeling of anticipation rises, perhaps because at least one trace of something has been found.
how long did it take to do that
We decided to take a break for a while.
“Whoa. You really walked all day yesterday and today.”
“But it is really exciting. Could there be anything in a cave this deep?”
“That skeleton. How did he die there?”
They settled down in a suitable place, and instead of lighting a bonfire, each of them warmed up with a heat artifact and talked about this and that.
Again, the biggest question is the existence of the dead.
“What is the real identity? You said you found a necklace under him?”
Why did he have a necklace containing an ancient magic concentration?
Or maybe it’s a person related to the magical kingdom of Arcana?
A number of questions have arisen, but the evidence to be obtained is lacking.
“I guess we have no choice but to go inside.”
“that’s right. But what if the road splits?”
“I have to put a marker in the center and move it.”
Let’s talk while making a plan in case of various variables.
“Let’s move.”
we moved on
And how much time has passed
Finally-
“There.”
I’m starting to get caught up in my gut feeling.
A more certain smell of ancient magic.
“really? I found it?”
“huh. It looks like it’s inside.”
Fortunately, there was no fork in the road, and the smell wafted from the end of the direction we were going.
But what we faced was a dead end.
“It’s definitely here.”
“Is this a blocked road?”
“So, I’ll have to look for it now.”
After raising the feeling as much as possible, I moved my body to the place where the smell was strongest.
“It’s here.”
It is just a cave wall without any artificial feeling.
But here it is.
It is felt most strongly here.
Whoops.
I raised my magic and took my hand.
Then, the walls of the cave began to blur like a magic curtain.
“oh my god… … .”
“Gee, was it real?”
As I heard a startled voice behind me, I raised my mana even more, and finally I was able to ‘remove’ the wall.
“It’s very well camouflaged.”
If it wasn’t for my magic, of course no one would have found it.
It has been used as a place of asceticism for a long time, and explorers must have visited it several times, but now it has been discovered.
“It’s a door.”
Ernest exclaimed.
Yes. The wall was removed and the door was revealed.
That door looks very solid.
clap.
Of course it doesn’t open.
“Sir, I will try.”
At that time, Dorian stepped out with great energy and took out something from his subspace.
It was the gauntlet.
It should be said that the gauntlet is not worn by knights for hand protection, but is optimized for punching.
“I will try to break it down.”
“Are you okay?”
“I will use this opportunity to save the pride of the Martial Arts Department.”
Dorian seemed to be increasing his mana, and stood at the door with a lot of confidence.
and-
Quaang!
Two things I know for sure.
“Ughhh… … .”
That door is harder than expected.
And that Dorian’s hands are very sore.
“Why, why are you so hard… … .”
The iron door wasn’t even scratched, and Dorian took the repulsive force as it was, so he grabbed his hand and rolled over.
“Oops, I’m crazy.”
Thanks to that, Priscilla sighed and grabbed Dorian’s hand and breathed divine power into it.
“Thank you, Miss Priscilla… … .”
“Stop flirting!”
Then, the two exchange glances… … .
play very well
Well, thanks to that, I learned that it is a very, very solid door.
However, rather than a physically solid door, it feels like something is blocking the door from opening or breaking.
It’s not like it’s not, if it’s a punch like Dorian, who belongs to the Martial Arts Department, it should have at least a scratch, but it’s clear that it doesn’t even have that.
In other words, it is not that Dorian is weak, but that this gate is too strong.
“Could there be a device here?”
Ernest, who had seen me melt down a screen or a barrier several times, seemed to quickly notice.
“Perhaps.”
And there was one more quick-witted guy.
“Kiruk! Kiruk!”
It is Karnas who has made a remarkable contribution when ‘melting’ something.
He was like that when he dismantled the dormitory’s magic barrier, he was like that in the restricted area, and he did a lot with a single flame in the subjugation battle afterwards.
“How about this time, do you think it will work?”
“Kiruk!”
Karnas flapped his wings and smirked as if to believe it.
“Puhihing.”
Chiron, who cries as if he doesn’t like it, is a bonus.
“Why are you again?”
“Pu hee hee hee!”
It was then that Chiron jumped out of nowhere.
He approached the empty door and accepted it.
Quaang!
“Pu-hee-hee-hee!”
Then he wobbled like a Dorian, barely balancing himself, shaking his head vigorously from side to side.
“Hey, did he just headbutt me?”
“Yeah, I guess… … .”
I was at a loss for words, and Karnas also stared blankly at Chiron in amazement.
It’s no joke that he’s competitive.
“Pu-hing, pu-hing.”
“Look where you are.”
Priscilla hurriedly ran up to her holy power and covered Chiron’s head with her hands.
“Please take care of me, Priscilla. Does the divine power work on animals too?”
“It doesn’t work. I don’t know if he’ll work well because he’s such an unusual guy. No, where is the crazy case where you crash into a solid door with your head like that?”
It seems to be here.
don’t be crazy
I don’t know if there is any gold on the skull.
Seeing that you are not in pain, you seem to be fine.
“Karnas, let’s melt it first.”
“Kiruk!”
It suddenly jumped in and was delayed for a while, but Karnas was already ready.
“Kireuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Roaring!
Then flames came out and hit the door.
wait a while-
“It disappears.”
It is felt.
Something that was blocking it was gone.
In the midst of this, the door slowly melted away, as if the skin was being peeled off… … .
An old door appeared.
The paint peeled off in places.
But there was one peculiar thing.
“This scratch… … I think it just happened?”
A scratch on the door.
The old but sturdy-looking door was cracked open.
It also has a sharp grain, as if it had just been cracked.
“Ah, please. You couldn’t even pierce a Dorian fist?”
“Really Chiron?”
Thanks to this, Dorian fell into despair.
“My, my fist… … Can’t say enough… … .”
In fact, if you look closely, horses weigh much more than people, which is natural.
However, in terms of being able to use magical powers, humans are usually superior… … .
“wait.”
I tilted my head just in case.
“Do horses use magic?”
“Ah, that can’t be.”
“Nonsense.”
right?
It can’t be.
I approached the door, holding down my doubts.
It happened for a while, but now it’s time to find out.
what’s inside
sereung.
“Back off.”
I pulled out my Arcanium sword.
A beautiful green light flows in a dark cave.
“wow… … .”
“It’s really pretty when you see it in the dark… … .”
right.
It’s not pretty.
So you can’t use it at night.
I don’t know if this is the case.
Awesome!
I just split the door with my sword. A door that grinds lightly like a piece of cloth.
“I’ll cut anything with that sword, right?”
“No matter how you think about it, really… … I wonder if that’s why I can’t use it at night?”
Amid the admiration of my friends, I put back the Arcanium sword.
It’s pretty, but it hurts my eyes.
“By the way, what is the name of that sword?”
“this? Just a sword.”
“… … It’s Dane. I don’t even give it a name.”
If it’s not necessary like a club, what do you do?
“If you must build… … A shiny sword?”
“done. It was my fault for asking.”
In Layla’s sigh, I narrowed my brows. why. It’s just simple and pretty.
“Anyway, let’s go in.”
What we’ve been up to since…
“this… … What is it all about?”
Skeletons everywhere, so… … .
It was like seeing a scene that had been neglected for a very long time after being massacred.
“oh my god… … .”
Everyone is speechless at the sight that is so unrealistic.
Dozens of human corpses.
Dozens of skeletons to be exact.
“What the hell happened?”
deep in the cave.
A secretly hidden space within it.
There are dozens of skeletons inside.
What are they, and how did they get here?
Fortunately, it’s true that too much time has passed and it doesn’t smell like rotting corpses… … .
“I don’t think I was killed by anyone.”
Another thing I was able to find out was that not all of them were killed.
“How do you know?”
“look. Most of them are leaning against the wall at an angle, and there are no marks on their bones.”
Then one of the three
or outbreaks of contagious diseases.
Or something we can’t fathom.
Otherwise… … .
or died of starvation.
“Let’s look around some more.”
There were quite a lot of things in a space large enough for dozens of people.
Be it blankets, old weapons, or daily necessities.
But the food is very little compared to that. To be precise, they are containers or packaging materials that contain food.
“Dane, would you like to come over here?”
Crucially, Ernest found the evidence.
“Look, something is written… … Is that right?”
It was a small diary.
exactly… … .
“okay. That’s right.”
It was a diary written in the ancient Arcana language.
Then guesses are gathered in one place.
Then these people… … .
under.
It feels like something is missing.
Saint Aimar found a necklace containing an ancient magic concentrate in a cave here, and inside this cave is a diary written in the ancient Arcana language.
“These people are the ancient Arcana.”
The conclusion came out like that.
So, now is the time to find out more.
A kingdom that was destroyed without even leaving a trace.
and the remains of people who may have lived there.
indeed-
What happened?
Seruk.
I opened my diary.
