Episode 99

Kaaang!

Holes were drilled all over the floor, but the royal family’s secret tomb did not appear.

“I’m sure it’s only here, but it’s strange.”

If there was a space in the dormitory that I hadn’t found so far, it was the basement of this dark, shady room.

The floor is a bit lower in this room than in the other rooms.

It’s as if it’s not a semi-basement.

“No, what am I missing?”

The plan was perfect.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the festival, I got out and came to the scheduled place without anyone knowing.

However, it was far from discovering the secret space.

I tried scratching the back of my head with the blade of a pickaxe, but the answer didn’t come easily.

‘There’s no use in dying like this. I have to move hard to get the treasure.’

Jumping up, I strained my eyes and looked around my old room.

The furniture that filled the interior was expensive, but the semi-basement was extremely damp and moldy.

The face of the secretary general who gave me such a beggarly place seemed to come to mind.

“Ugh! Wicked son of a bitch, put this great man in the dark? Hey!”

I swung my pickaxe as if a picture of him was drawn on the wall.

Bullfight! Patter!

But isn’t it a completely different dull sound from before?

In addition, the shape of the stone falling off was unusual.

Upon closer examination, there was a small hole in the center of the mark made by the pickaxe.

‘This is it!’

I was about to cheer for a moment, but I hurriedly stopped moving.

that buck! that buck!

It was because the sound of faint footsteps came from beyond the door.

‘Who is it? It must be in the middle of a festival, so why the hell did you come here?’

The semi-basement room to the northeast of the old dormitory building was famous for being rarely visited by people.

He probably came here for some definite purpose.

When I brought my eyes closer to the crack in the door, I saw the silhouette of a guy wandering the hallway.

I swallowed the tension and watched the opponent’s face.

‘uh? That guy!’

Surprisingly, the identity of the person who appeared in the semi-basement hallway was Franz.

What is the reason for the second prince, who is busy preparing for the beauty contest, to appear in a place like this?

Unknowingly, I realized the intention, and a malevolent aura dwelled in my eyes.

‘You must have come to find the treasure too? yes. Just try to come in here the head… … . Oh, was this a bit harsh?’

If it was cut down with a large pickaxe, even if it was a stone head, it would be dead.

I quietly changed the direction of the sack and grabbed it.

Hitting it with the handle won’t kill you instantly.

that buck! that buck!

Sure enough, Franz moved towards my dark room.

As expected, it seemed that this place was suspicious.

But it was just at that moment when he was about to grab the doorknob.

“It’s interesting. I thought you weren’t really interested in things like treasure.”

“Well…….”

Hearing someone’s sonorous voice from across the hallway, the 2nd prince drool and turned around.

Eventually, a figure emerged from the darkness with a gentle smile on his face.

“Ellington, what are you doing here?”

“What’s the big brother like? He said he wasn’t interested the other day.”

“I just came here out of curiosity.”

“Isn’t that because you got reliable information?”

“Don’t overlook it. Since you’re here, you won’t be able to avoid asking the same questions.”

“I’m just being honest. I’m here for treasure, but what’s the matter?”

“Smart kid, you can’t get away with it.”

Shaking his head, Franz walked to the middle of the hallway.

As long as there was a strong competitor nearby, the search was as good as skipping water.

‘You can’t just make others do good things. So get out of here, both of you!’

I shouted inwardly as I stared at the princes who were glaring at each other.

“By the way, didn’t you choose a place that was too obvious? Could it be that you hid it in such an easy place?”

“I’m not sure. Well, it didn’t matter anyway.”

At the 3rd prince’s provocative words and actions, the 2nd prince showed his discomfort and left the corridor.

He realized that there is no answer to staying here for a long time.

But Ellington stood there staring at the shadowy room.

‘Hey, disappear quickly.’

I did not relax as I watched the third prince.

He could run after Franz with a horse and charge him with a mean search.

I grabbed the handle of the pickaxe hard, but luckily I didn’t have to swing it.

Eventually, Ellington also disappeared from the semi-basement hallway.

“Phew!

I let out a sigh of relief and put down my pickaxe.

It seemed like I couldn’t just work like this.

I blocked the doorway with wooden planks and stones.

That way, you wouldn’t be able to get inside without smashing the door.

“The imperial treasure cannot be taken away.”

Of course, the imperial family’s treasure was not mine originally, so it was not appropriate to say that it was stolen.

‘How are you? Those who eat these things are the owners.’

Caang!

As the pickaxe hit the wall, the small hole gradually increased in size.

The more that happened, the more the expectation kept inflating.

In time, I was able to make a passageway that one person could barely fit through.

“right!”

When I put my body into the hole while singing for pleasure, there was indeed a space connected to the basement.

I pushed the light artifact I had prepared in advance.

Tung! thudung!

Three light sources fell on the floor to illuminate the enormous cavity.

Surprisingly, there was a gap of about ten meters between the old dormitory building and the underground space.

It was difficult to reach without going through this secret passage.

“So no matter how much the waves are useless.”

It seemed that it would take decades to break through the hard stone floor and descend underground.

For some reason, it was a moment when I felt foolish as I had been working with a pickaxe until a few minutes ago.

chuck!

Climbing the rope and getting down to the floor, I looked around with a triumphant face.

“Well, anyway, you made it in the end. Even if you go to Moro, you just have to reach your destination, right?”

There was no need to be discouraged just because he had suffered a little.

Didn’t they say that the power of positivity was infinite?

I placed light artifacts here and there to brightly illuminate the entire cavity.

Then, the secret of the Bertos Imperial Family, which had been hidden for a thousand years, was revealed.

“Five…….”

Soon, pure admiration burst out of my mouth.

To be honest, I had expected the size of the tomb of the imperial family hidden in the basement of the dormitory to be small.

“I thought there would be one or two boxes of gold and silver treasures… are these precious?”

I stroked the missing beard and narrowed my brows.

Unexpectedly, the scale of the underground space was considerable, and it had great historical value.

Once I went down, it was the beginning of the joint.

If you go forward a little from here, there are hundreds of statues standing in a row.

Each one is as detailed as if it were alive, and the state of preservation is perfect.

All of the statues were in the form of knights, and it was a look that made use of all the delicacy of plate armor.

‘If I just shake off the accumulated dust, I can sell it as it is.’

Even Felix, the Governor of Aberdeen, who had the Leader of Wisdom, would come running with his eyes wide open.

He told me to take his gold coins right away.

Of course, it would be difficult to bring this out, but what can I do to make money?

I stepped cautiously, thinking about the value of the statue.

Swoop! chuck.

But the trap did not trigger.

In the Tomb of the King of Dongpae, they went through a lot of trouble to clear the dungeon, but it didn’t seem like that would happen here.

“Is it so lax?”

I walked freely among the statues, but there seemed to be nothing there.

I smiled dejectedly and went straight into the cavity.

However, I wasn’t nervous or nervous at all.

Because danger always comes unexpectedly.

“That one?”

In the middle of going inside, I stopped my steps.

It was because something shiny caught my attention.

A sword floated in the air above the high altar behind the statue.

While spewing out a resounding resonance without a break.

Whoa!

‘Five… … . what is this. Isn’t the atmosphere a joke?’

The pitch-black sword body was emitting a terrible anticipation.

In addition, the appearance surrounded by black energy seemed to foretell death.

I thought that if a demonic sword existed, it would probably look like this.

As if possessed by something, I approached the altar and inspected the sword.

But I couldn’t touch or touch it.

“It looks like it’s surrounded by a 3D magic circle. This is almost the level of confining a demon god, isn’t it?”

The seal surrounding the sword was not one or two layers.

Teeing!

Let’s secretly shed mana, a strong repulsive force came out.

If I had stretched out my hand without thinking, my body would have turned to powder.

‘Even if I can’t do it, there are hundreds of them. How many years have you drilled them all?’

Members of Riverrun know how to handle mana, and can also cast basic magic.

Of course, I wasn’t a real wizard, so I wasn’t good at things like canceling the magic circle.

But that didn’t mean it was impossible.

It just takes a long time.

“The problem is that there must be a recovery magic circle installed here, right?”

Even if you pierce one, if you work on another, the previously destroyed magic circle will return to its original state.

Then you will only suffer and gain nothing.

‘Ah, that’s good. Let’s just pass this on.’

I stared at the sword with a sad expression and shook my head slightly.

cancer! If you’re a charismatic man, you should know when to give up.

Inwardly, he praised himself and turned around.

The imperial treasure is not limited to this sword.

It was intended to secure something else first.

As I was about to come down from the altar, I noticed something seriously different from before.

“No, but why are these guys looking back?”
