Episode 640
The tombs and ruins of the empire were not easy places. This was especially true in older places.
The tombs and ruins created during the Old Kingdom were equipped with various powerful measures to deter intruders, and these measures were more than enough to tear to pieces the unlucky intruders who came in without a second thought.
To break through this tomb, mere strength was not enough. He had to be knowledgeable in all kinds of studies, especially archeology, and had the wisdom and courage to remain calm even in unexpected situations.
At the same time, you also needed intuition and luck to be able to run away immediately if something went wrong.
Therefore, when wizards discovered these tombs or ruins, instead of entering them, they hired adventurers and sent them there.
It wasn’t that they sent adventurers because they recognized them as having the above talents, and it was because they didn’t want to get hurt if they failed.
Gainando hid behind Ihan without realizing it and asked Arsil.
“Okay, is this a good place?”
“This is okay.”
Lee Han breathed a sigh of relief.
It looked a lot better than I had feared.
“……”
“……”
While Nilia and Gainando were looking at Ihan in astonishment, Yoner asked cautiously.
“Lee Han. “What does it mean to be okay…?”
“Not too hot, not too cold, right?”
To Lee Han, Arsil was a kind and gentle older brother, but he was a person whose senses were a bit numb due to hanging out with spirits for too long.
The human race may be in danger if they go to places where lava is boiling or exhaled breath is frozen.
In comparison, the ancient tomb here was relatively comfortable. Other than the air being a bit cool, I didn’t feel any danger.
Gainando was in tears and muttered.
“You shouldn’t come to play.”
“What did you say, Gainando?”
“Oh, nothing. Nothing.”
Nilia asked as if she still didn’t understand.
“Wardanaz. “I have a question.”
“ask. “Nilia.”
“Is this your family territory?”
“yes. “It may be on the outskirts, but this is also territory.”
“…If a tomb like this is discovered in a normal territory, shouldn’t we invite more people?”
Even if it was originally a nobleman’s territory, it was rare for tombs or ruins to be discovered there.
In the first place, the more people worked, the faster the tombs and ruins were discovered.
Of course, among nobles with large and remote fiefdoms, there are still those who occasionally discover tombs or ruins within their fiefdoms, but when these are discovered, they are usually…
‘Shouldn’t you call more people?’
Send a knight or wizard under your family, hire an adventurer, hire a mercenary, or at the very least call in a reliable expert or shadow patrol from a nearby mountain range…
When Nilia was young, she also had memories of someone from a northern baron family coming out and begging her.
A labyrinth has been discovered in the territory, but monsters keep crawling up and the vassals are disappearing.
“That’s actually true.”
Lee Han nodded gently.
“But our family’s territory is so large and there are so many remote places, so things like this happen more often than you think. That’s why I don’t call everyone one by one.”
Arsil nodded as if agreeing with his younger brother.
As any wizard knows, where there is a lot of magic, strange things tend to happen more often.
As the magic power accumulated in one place creates all kinds of changes, a crack with another dimension appears, the rules of reality are distorted, and a world-changing cartoon is brought about.
A family like the Wardanaz family that conducted magic experiments on a real-time scale, one of the largest in the empire, could not help but have an impact on those around them.
After hearing the explanation, Yoner said as if he now understood.
“Ah, so that’s why there weren’t so many people around the mansion?”
“no. “It’s just because my parents are annoyed by people being around.”
“……”
Arsil excused himself by saying, ‘Actually, there is such a purpose,’ but it did not reach his friends.
“Anyway, things like this happen often in the territory, so unless it’s a really big deal, I tend to leave it alone. “There won’t be enough knights left to respond to each one.”
“What are the standards for big things?”
“Something like a golem rebellion?”
Nilia was speechless and could not ask any more questions.
When I saw my friend’s face answering as if it were obvious, I felt at a loss and didn’t know where to start talking.
Gainando whispered as he looked at Yoner and Nilia.
“Stop me! please! I don’t want to go in there! Why isn’t it Einroguard?”
“Don’t warlocks like going into graves?”
“What nonsense! “Then do all alchemists like to stay in their workshops and prepare ingredients?!”
‘I like it…’
Joner thought to himself.
However, contrary to Gaynando’s whispers, Lee Han was quite motivated.
When I saw the tomb in relatively good condition, I became greedy.
“older brother. How many trinkets are in there? Are there any old gold or silver coins? There is? Hey. Good for you.”
After hearing Arsil’s explanation, Lee Han’s face brightened and he turned around.
“Great. you. “I guess I can get a bonus after seeing the manor?”
I felt a little sorry that my friends who came to visit the mansion were constantly bored, but I realized that they could not only see the estate but also take home valuable bonuses.
I couldn’t help but be happy as I treated my friends.
“Hey, Lee Han.”

Gainando called Lee Han in a weak voice.
The moment I entered that ancient underground tomb with its black mouth open, I felt like I couldn’t tell whether this was the Wardanaz family territory or Einrogard.
“why?”
“……”
However, Guy Nando could not bear to say, ‘I don’t want to go in.’
I could feel Lee Han’s excitement to give his friends a fun experience.
How can you say to that place, ‘I can’t go in!’
“…Yo, Yoner has something to say!”
“Um, that kind of trash?”
Nilia muttered in shock.
Earlier, when Ink made Gainando an enemy of Yoner, I thought, ‘Isn’t that a bit harsh?’ But now I see it was very appropriate.
“Yoner? why?”
Gainando sent an earnest look to his relative, despite the betrayal he had just committed.
please!
‘Please stop me!’
Yoner answered with a smile.
“Gainando said he was really looking forward to the tomb. He said he learned black magic to use it in situations like this.”
“guy!”
Lee Han was so proud that he tapped Gai Nan Do on the shoulder as if he was dying.
When Arsil asked why, Lee Han became proud and boasted about his friend.
“This guy here named Gainando majors in black magic… Ah. Excellent. “Among the students who take black magic classes with me, I am counted among the top five.”
“There are less than five people who practice black magic…?”
“Shh.”
Yoner covered Nilia’s mouth.
Arsil praised Gainando as if he was special.
I don’t know exactly what he said, but he felt like he was praising him, so even though he was in tears, Gainando nodded.
“Thank you…”
“Gainando, I see you are finally starting to show interest in studying magic. happy.”
Arsil asked, puzzled. Lee Han answered with a straight face.
“no. older brother.”
“What did you say?”
“You’re asking if I’m your nephew.”
“……”
* * *
Although there was a lot of fuss at the entrance, surprisingly, there was no danger inside the tomb.
Not only was there no trap near the entrance, but more than anything, Arsil’s ability was deceptive.
Grumble!
Every time Arsil took a step, new spirits appeared and managed the path.
The rock spirits repaired the floor that was about to collapse and repaired the cracked ceiling, and the sand and earth spirits appeared to fill in any cracks that might have occurred.
The light spirits illuminated the path to prevent Arsil from falling and flew ahead first to check for traps. If there was a trap, the spirits rushed to neutralize it.
Lee Han and his friends who saw it from behind couldn’t help but be shocked.
“That’s ridiculous…!”
In terms of spirit affinity alone, Nilia was the best here, but what Arsil was showing now was beyond imagination.
How can one person be so blindly loved by so many different types of spirits?
“How is this possible?!”
“My brother was always like that.”
Lee Han grunted and answered.
It was just an innate affinity that no theory or magic could explain.
Nilya, who was in shock, muttered inadvertently.
“But Wardanaz was afraid of the spirits and avoided them…”
“……”
“ah. no. “I’m sorry.”
“I’m okay. “It’s true, but what?”
“I’m really sorry…! Sorry!”
“I said it’s okay.”
“Actually, it’s not okay! Just get angry!
“It’s really okay, why are you so angry?”
Nilia was desperate to be put on the letter blacklist once again.
“Is that really that big?”
“You don’t know because you only play with the undead while practicing black magic. “How amazing is that?”
“Well, it has nothing to do with black magic!”
Gainando got angry after being scolded for asking a question for no reason.
I thought it was definitely comfortable.
Even if the undead were just that humble, it would have been rewarding to be a warlock.
“Lee Han. Lee Han. “Is that impossible with undead?”
“…Gainando. “Are you crazy?”
“Oh, no… I asked because I thought it might be possible for you.”
Of course, Gainando knew that something like that was impossible with the undead.
Basically, the undead are fierce and violent beings, so such detailed care was impossible.
If you give the command to the undead, ‘I’m trying to break through the tomb, check the floor, check the ceiling, and check for traps in front of me,’ you may end up intentionally activating the trap.
But if it’s Lee Han…
“Not everything is possible for me. Gainando.”
“But you are afraid of the undead. So I thought it might work.”
“……”
Lee Han kicked Gai Nando who was walking in front of him.
“why?!”
“I got caught on a stone.”
Knock, knock, knock-
Arsil stopped and knocked on the wall of the tomb. Yoner asked curiously.
“How did you know there was a road in here?”
“The spirit told me.”
‘It’s really fraudulent…!’
I tried not to be jealous, but as a student at a magic school, I couldn’t help but feel envious of Arsil’s abilities.
If you have that ability, you just need to summon an experienced and excellent spirit and listen to it when performing alchemy.
When reading various ancient books, all you had to do was summon a spirit that knew how to read this language…
“This is the space where the knights who guarded the tomb stayed, and inside there are grave goods made of silver and some books… Ah. Did you already take the book? “What book was it?”
Arsil was excited by his younger brother’s interest and explained what the book was.
So, once upon a time, knights met a lady of the court…
“They said it was a book containing useless novels. “Let’s go in.”
“……”
Arsil looked sullen, but went inside without showing it.
Inside the room sat a huge rock, Hecatoncheires. Lee Han and his party were astonished when they saw a monster that could overpower a decent giant with its physical strength.
“…older brother. Isn’t that Hecatoncheires? You didn’t tell me because I didn’t seem interested? …Of course, I like treasure more than monsters, but shouldn’t you tell me what’s in the room before I go in?”
While Lee Han was grinding his teeth, Arsil shrugged his shoulders, apologized, and spoke to Hecatoncheires.
Hecatoncheires, who was glaring fiercely at Lee Han and his party, suddenly turned his head after hearing Arsil’s request. Lee Han told his friends.
“Don’t make too much noise and play quietly before leaving.”
“……”
