How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives - How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives chapter 129

Chapter 129

Xian came out of the sealed room holding a bronze mirror.

Hector and the Giant King, who were waiting outside, looked at him.

“how is it? Did you find any good way?”

“Heng, there can be no such thing. How can a young swordsman like you break the seals made by ancient wizards?”

The Giant King smiled and spoke. He didn’t say anything, but Hector seemed to be thinking the same thing.

Hector gave a glance at the giant king and spoke in a sullen tone.

“Then there is only one option. Let’s decapitate him and take his heart.”

“omg!”

Only then did the giant king wake up in a fright, as if he remembered his situation.

Then he backed away and sent a wary look at Xian and Hector.

He showed the bronze mirror Xian was holding.

“Don’t worry. The seal has been moved properly.”

“what?”

As if asking what that meant, the Giant King looked at the bronze mirror Xian was holding.

“I don’t know the principle. But all the ancient magic in the room came into it.”

“really!?”

The giant king was greatly surprised and checked the chains on himself.

Looking at it, it seems that the chain is a little longer than before.

Originally, it was only tightly bound around the throne, but now it seemed like it could go farther.

To confirm that, he ran to the sealing room.

A room that I couldn’t enter because of the chain of seals until now.

“It’s real!”

Looking at the empty room where ancient magic and letters disappeared without a trace, he shouted happily.

The hateful magic that had been tying herself to this nothingness underground. that was gone

“hahahahaha!”

The Giant King was greatly mad. Isn’t it worthwhile to have endured for a long time without dying?

Finally, I was able to go out into the outside world.

“It’s not that the seal has disappeared.”

Xian came in and talked to me before I knew it.

The King of Giants knows this well. The seal didn’t disappear, it just moved to the bronze mirror Xian was holding.

I don’t know what that mirror is, but it’s clear that it’s a very high-ranking item.

In the end, I didn’t find complete freedom.

but.

“Does not matter.”

That much was tolerable. If only I could get out of this musty basement!

He looked at Xi’an.

“Did you say you wanted something from me?”

Xian nodded.

“Don’t let me help you. Show me the ground instead. the blue sky out there. That is all I want.”

A long time ago, when he was still young, he was entangled in ambition and all that.

But now it’s all a thing of the past.

There is only one desire left for him now. Wanting to see that wide world again.

“It is not difficult.”

Xian nodded. In a way, it was a wish similar to that of Hector.

The two came out of the sealed room again.

“Has everything been sorted out?”

“okay. He decided to come with us.”

When Hector saw the Giant King, he held out his hand. The Giant King took that hand.

“I never thought I would join hands with the devils again.”

“This is my first time acting with a giant.”

“okay?”

“I wasn’t particularly interested in the ground at the time, so I was stuck in a cave.”

The three left the ruins behind. However, the giant king had a lot of things to do before leaving.

First, the heart, the only remaining trace of the original body. I extracted energy from that heart and put it into my current small body.

“Ugh… … . Although I feel uneasy about putting my heart into this small body.”

“Can’t you leave it behind?”

“That’s right.”

The next thing to do is the corpses of giants lined up on both sides.

Silence in front of his compatriots who once followed him.

With him watching the corpses of his compatriots, Xian and Hector came up to the ground in advance.

As I was eating beef jerky in the shade of a tree near the entrance of the ruins, I saw the giant king trudging up.

Soon, he stamped his foot once towards the entrance of the ruins.

―Kurrr!

With that one step, a great earthquake occurred, enough to shake the mountain. The aftermath of the earthquake directed entirely to the underground ruins, and soon the ruins collapsed.

That’s how the giant king buried all the bodies of his compatriots.

“Are you done?”

“okay.”

“What about my other compatriots?”

“Not here. Those who remained in this eastern land are the last.”

Why, unlike the other giants found by the Dark Magic Tower, all the giants here were corpses.

I don’t know why.

However, the giant king was smiling bitterly at the collapsed ruins.

“Let’s go. Where are you going?”

“First of all, we should go to Keldwin and supply them.”

“Keldwin? Is that the name of the city?”

Soon, the three of them left behind the ruins where the giant was buried and headed to the world of humans.

* * *

“Are you leaving now?”

“yes.”

Stop by Keldwin to wash up and get some food and water. After a full day’s sleep, they were ready to leave.

The mayor came out to see them off. For reference, Ban Asla had already returned to Jakarta a long time ago.

The mayor glanced at the giant king while talking to Xian.

Apparently, there were only two of them before, Xian and Hector, but a group they hadn’t seen before appeared.

A little child wrapped in a chain.

“What are you twisting?”

As I was staring at it, the giant king said that and stared at me.

A bad-mouthed kid. The market is huge, I cleared my throat and averted my eyes.

He knew it well from his long experience.

That vain curiosity urges the people.

“May I ask where you plan to go?”

Now that the Giant King has been brought, there is only one place to head. A place where the Empire is in full swing in its war of aggression.

However, I decided yesterday which of the two places to go first, Glacier Baengnyeong or Jakarta.

“I’m thinking of going to Glacier Baengnyeong.”

“It’s north.”

Yesterday before resting, I toured the city and got information.

The war itself is being fought in both Glacier Baengnyeong and Jakarta, but it is said that Glacier Baengnyeong is more dangerous.

Prisoners are enduring a lot due to guerrilla operations, and even if their shelters are destroyed, they can move without major problems. It was a race that wandered aimlessly in the first place.

However, half-elves are those who settle in one place and live their entire lives. This makes them more vulnerable to invaders.

“Take care of yourself.”

“Mayor, I hope the city will be able to rise again safely.”

“Heh heh, thank you.”

After saying goodbye to the mayor, Xian, Hector, and the Giant King headed north.

The country of the northern land, Glacier Baengnyeong. Country of half fairies.

That was the place to go once.

“A country founded by that old woman… … . Just listening to it makes me feel annoyed.”

“Do you want to?”

“There is such a thing. The one who bullied me the most.”

The Giant King murmured.

ancient beings. Unlike Hector, who was only stuck in the hell world, he worked directly on the ground.

‘I’m sure the road won’t be boring.’

There was a lot to hear.

* * *

A village located relatively far out of the territory of Glacier Baengnyeong.

This village, which was living in a small society among the residents, was being trampled by a giant.

“Stop! Make the most of your time!”

“Squad 2 prepare to evacuate quickly!”

Dozens of half-elves were blocking the giant. Knights belonging to the Guardian Castle, dispatched from the Fairy Palace.

While one unit tied the giant’s feet, the rest of the unit gathered the villagers and prepared for evacuation.

“Ah! No! This is a land where our ancestors have lived for hundreds of years, so where can we escape!”

“Isn’t life more important!”

“I can’t go, I can’t go!”

Evacuating the residents was not easy either. It was never easy to ask them to abandon their hometown and run away, who have been rooted in this land for hundreds of years.

“… … I’m sorry.”

puck!

The hard-faced guardian castles stunned those residents. Then he took me to the carriage that was waiting in advance and sat me down.

They are also half fairies. It is not that they do not know the feelings of those who have to abandon their hometowns.

However, even so, it was their mission to save even one more people.

“Move quickly! It can’t last that long!”

“yes!”

The movement of the guardian castles in perfect order soon succeeded in putting all the villagers on the wagon.

They left the burning city behind and headed for the fairy palace.

The residents in the wagon shed tears as they watched their hometown move away.

However, they were not even given time to grieve.

“Where are you going in such a hurry?”

“Mmm, stop!”

At the sight unfolding right in front of them, the guardians stopped the carriage in fright.

An old man in black robes blocking their way. Behind it, the road completely forked as if an earthquake had struck.

It is so wide that it is impossible to cross without a bridge.

“Kuh! Get out of the way!”

“Nope?”

The old man in black robes opened his palm and raised it slowly.

Then, the coo-gu-gung, the wall rose further from the back.

While the front is blocked like that.

“Kuhhh!”

Suddenly, a giant came thumping from behind.

An old man and a wall using mysterious magic in the front, and a giant in the back.

The guardians were taken aback by the completely blocked situation. The villagers in the wagon were trembling and embracing each other, unable to look outside.

“Kill him, Kaldor.”

“Kheung!”

As the old man clicked his finger, a giant called Kaldor approached the carriage.

A threatening look, as if he would step on it with his big feet right now.

In order to stop him, the guardians gnashed their teeth and raised mana.

at that time.

“Ugh!”

Between them, a carefree voice that did not fit the mood echoed. It was even the voice of a child.

“The Kaldor kid has grown up like this.”

The true identity of the voice was that of a child. A child with flowing white hair and chains wrapped around his arms.

Kaldor lowered his head slowly and looked at him.

Then I giggled.

“who… … ?”

A slow-talking giant. Then the little child approached the giant.

“Your king, you bastard.”

baek!

kicked in the shin

Then something happened that caught everyone’s eye.

“Ah!”

With just one kick from a child who was insignificant even by human standards, that huge giant fell down holding onto his shin.

The guardians opened their eyes wide, and the residents in the wagon cautiously looked out the window.

But what surprised me more than anyone else was the old man who called the giant.

“What, what! who are you!”

The old man shouted in bewilderment, and at the same time reflexively gathered his hands together.

The foreboding was not good.

“I think you have business over here.”

“omg!”

And that hunch came true.

The man behind the old man, who had appeared before he knew it, stabbed him in the back with a black sword.

If you apply a little force, it will go to the position where your heart will penetrate.

A cold sweat broke out on the old man’s back.

“First of all, tell me your name and who the devil you contracted with is.”

The stranger in the back, Xian, said that as if there was nothing more to see.
