NOVEL NEXT chapter 123
123 – The First Emperor’s Tomb (4)
Ella, who did an amazing job, stood in front of the door, but did not enter.
“Ella?”
When Louis De asked curiously, Ella bowed her head with a shy smile.
“My job was to open the door. I can’t go any further.”
‘Because Victoria promised to go only to the door… ‘
But she didn’t know how to say it herself. Because she knows best what Ella’s appetite for experimentation is.
Exploring these unknown ruins must be the kind that Ella can’t stand.
Anyway, Louis nodded her head.
“Miho.”
“Kang!”
“Please see Ella. And you’re next to Hersy again.”
Miho moved her short leg and jumped onto Ella’s shoulder.
Although the seed of the monster must have dried up in this area where the Knights of Windsor are spread. It’s a law that people don’t know.
“Go with caution.”
“Yes!”
Ella gave a modest salute.
‘… A knight?’
And she walked behind her without hesitation.
“I can see why you boasted so much.”
Victoria murmured softly as she watched Ella walk away from her back.
“Know good and do it properly. It looks easy, but it is very difficult. He’s a smart kid Above all, your thinking ability is very good.”
“Isn’t it? Ella is great.”
Ruid was happy that Victoria was recognizing him.
Victoria smiled warmly.
“Yes, if that child comes to the north, it seems to be of great help. Because our family doesn’t have enough smart kids.”
Ruid pointed at himself.
“You know me? I am smarter than Ella.”
Victoria held Louis de’ armpits with her soft smile and lifted her up.
“Sure. My son is the smartest man in the world.”
Carefully holding her, she moved her steps.
From a high point of view, the ‘Tomb of the First Emperor’ could be seen at a glance.
A red flag symbolizing the empire and a silver flag symbolizing the imperial family are crossed and inserted between the wide corridors.
It is hard to believe that the ruins were built a thousand years ago and are well preserved.
Louise walked all the way in Victoria’s arms. She was so large that if she had walked on her own, she would soon have exhausted herself and gone to sleep.
However.
“… Is not it.”
“I feel a sense of déjà vu.”
Ruid descended from Victoria.
He pulled out a short wooden stick from within her arms.
A wooden stick too simple to be called a staff.
Ruid aimed at her head.
“Show everything you’re hiding.”
Take-!
Blue light slowly spread from the tip of Ruid’s staff.
The blue light stayed in the air and illuminated the surroundings for a while.
As the glow subsided, a change occurred.
The width of the huge hallway, which obviously couldn’t even see the end, increased on both sides.
However, the length was quickly reduced to the size of a room.
“This is… “
A throne was created at the end of the red carpet.
The throne was far from glamorous.
On such a simple throne, a skeleton was sitting with its chin resting.
‘Eh.’
As she stared at the empty eyes, she felt as if her soul was about to be taken away.
“Are you okay?”
Victoria asked anxiously. Louise nodded her head.
“Yes.”
“That…… Apparently, it looks like the remains of the first emperor.”
“I think so.”
‘I never thought the tomb of the first emperor would be so simple.’
I tried to spread her magic widely, but that was it. There is no such thing as a hidden room.
Ruid was a bit disappointed. She knew a great adventure was waiting for her. Or maybe it’s an awesome treasure. After all, the more money, the better.
She thought it was still too early for her to be disappointed. She’s going to have to shake off everything that’s already there.
“Can I take a look?”
“Louis, do whatever you want. I have no intention of telling this to the imperial family anyway.”
“No?”
Victoria’s eyes calmed down.
“Windsor’s mission is to protect this land and its people. Other than that, nothing else matters. Keep in mind, too, Louie.”
In a word, he said that he would not cause a fuss.
“Yes.”
Ruid walked slowly toward the skull.
There was a table next to the skull, with a book and a blue heart on it.
– Pounding, pounding.
And, that heart was still beating.
‘What Artifact? I can’t tell from the outside.’
First, I decided to read the book.
Victoria also watched the contents of the book by her side.
She frowned.
“Um… This is a language I don’t know. Can you read Louie?”
After seeing her book, Louis nodded her head calmly.
“Yes.”
She couldn’t help but know.
No, from the beginning she thought, ‘Maybe that’s right?’
Yes, it was written in Korean.
Louis closed her mouth and read quickly.
The content of the book is long. It was a diary. A diary in which the first emperor wrote down impressive days.
No, a novel about a possessed person becoming emperor, building and ruling an empire.
Yes.
Strangely, the idea of ‘democracy’ is dormant here and there in the Prime Empire, and that is all the cause.
Because the absolute ruler who founded the empire was a possessor from Korea in the 21st century.
“What does it say?”
“Tell me the answer to the test- it says.”
“… It’s quite long.”
“Well, I can’t read anything else.”
Ruid lied and didn’t spit in her mouth.
Victoria noticed at once that Louis was lying.
However, she rather smiled warmly and stroked her hair.
“Someday, tell me.”
Louise lowered her head slightly and answered in a low voice.
“… Huh.”
Ruid shook his head to shake off his gloom and closed the book. She threw it into her own space and went in front of the emperor.
In fact, there was no word in the diary that said, “Tell me the answer to the exam.”
Just like Ella, I just read the magic formula engraved in this space.
Ruid looked straight at the emperor and said.
“First test. A procedure to confirm that you are a member of the royal family. Because you didn’t want non-descendants to discover the tomb.”
Since Ella had already released everything, she did not feel any difficulty.
“Second test. A procedure to check wisdom. What you want is a descendant of wisdom, not a descendant of stupidity.”
The second test was unexpectedly difficult. Rather than the question itself being difficult, the knight statue itself was a test.
Ruid guessed that the statue of the knight was not strong. However, if you destroy the statue of the knight at will, you will not be able to enter this tomb.
It was a test that asked whether they had hostility, whether they had other intentions, or whether they were wise.
“The third test. A procedure to see if you have the ability to penetrate strong fantasies.”
Ruid said in succession.
“Fourth test. The intention is to check if your intuition is good by letting you find the right answer without giving any clues.”
‘It’s pretty bad. If it wasn’t for me who can use the 5th magic, if it wasn’t for Ella’s level of genius, it would be impossible to pass all these tests.’
Of course Lucius couldn’t pass the third test, and Damon couldn’t pass either.
At that moment, the emperor raised his head.
“Louis.”
Victoria sensed that something was wrong and pushed Louis behind her.
I felt a powerful magic power in the heart of blue light.
The skull that absorbed magic rattled.
And—
The emperor’s body began to fill up.
“It is black magic. Louie. Get ready.”
Victoria said sharply, drawing her sword halfway.
Louise held Victoria’s hand, keeping her eyes fixed on the emperor.
“No. This.”
It is hard to believe that the emperor who was filled with flesh was a skeleton until just now.
It was the appearance of a young man.
Victoria probably misunderstood that she was black magic because she showed a tendency to reject nature, but this is not black magic.
Ruid twitched his eyebrows.
‘The Fifth Magic.’
Among them, it was the magic corresponding to ‘space’.
As far as Ruid knew, ‘Delrin’ was the only wizard in human history who had even been near the Fifth Magic.
So this is, the greatest wizard in history. It is the magic of ‘Delrin’, the most important person in the world that Ruid possesses.
“This is an illusion.”
As soon as Ruid finished speaking, the emperor spoke.
“Nice to meet you. My descendants.”
**
“Thank you, fox!”
Ella crouched down and petted the fox.
Miho liked it.
‘It’s always nice to be petted by a human. Why did I only know this good thing now?’
Actually, Miho is a little arrogant spirit.
There was no choice because it was the Great Spirit, the only entity that maintains the balance of the world.
Previously, it was Miho who refused to touch anyone.
However, in this game, I really liked being petted.
This is the influence of his own master Louis de.
Miho, connected to Ruid, was able to read emotions to some extent, because whenever she was cute like this, her owner was in a good mood.
“Oh, I was nervous and sweaty…. Why am I still sweating in this cold?”
Ella sighed and said to Miho with a bright expression.
“Louid hates not washing, so I’ll go take a shower. Will you go to Hercy?”
Miho turned his back without a word.
‘Hey, human. I’ve filled what I want, so I don’t need it anymore.’
Miho ran on a wide snowy field.
A cold wind blew, but the arctic fox’s double coat deflected it all.
On the contrary, the gentle breeze blowing deep into his fur made him feel good.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s the body of an arctic fox, but this climate environment is Miho’s preference.
She quickly ran over her eyes and stopped somewhere.
I shook her body from side to side as I brushed off her snow from her body.
Miho pulled out her tongue and panted. Calmly, she gazed somewhere.
This is the tomb of the first emperor who came earlier.
At the entrance of the stairs, I saw the figure of a woman who was craving something with her mouth caught in her ear.
Sophia Queensberry, a first year student at the Ministry of Magic at the Imperial Academy.
She sensed a presence and looked at Miho.
“Uh, huh? Hi… fox.”
She looked a little taken aback, but she asked in a timid voice.
Miho slowly approached her.
Sophia smiled roundly and tried to stroke her Miho.
By the way-
“!”
Sophia stepped back behind her, her eyes wide open. The black magic barrier that symbolizes the black magician was hit.
Miho’s feet tore through the barrier like paper. It seemed to be blurry, but Miho’s body gradually grew larger.
Miho, who was so small that she could be held in Louis’s arms, grew so big that she couldn’t even dare to look at it.
She had nine tails, and her gravity was so strong that it was difficult for her to breathe.
Fast-
The snow piled high around them all at once sank.
Miho said coldly, looking down at her trembling Sophia.
[You foolish human being.]
Miho was a spirit.
A spirit never forgets what it has seen.
That’s why I knew.
Sophia’s soul in front of her is in an altered state, and what’s inside is an evil human being.
[In my master’s land, what are you plotting?]
“Ugh… Did you wake up?”
Lilith didn’t act as timid as before.
She scratched her head as if she was being annoyed.
“Oh my God, using the great spirit as a familiar. …… After all, Ruid-sama is great. Ah, I wish you would tame me like this even in bed.”
Miho’s face was distorted.
[Four years…… Dare to the human subject!]
Miho showed great displeasure and raised his front paw at Sophia.
Lilith’s face was shadowed by the gigantic Miho’s feet. She smiled and waved her hand.
“Well then, bye. They’ll become colleagues later, so don’t impress me too much….”
Kwaduk!
Miho crushed Sofia without mercy.
Although her white feet were stained with blood, Miho was still angry.
[Did he run away?]
I decided not to pursue him.
Destroying the soul was simple, but doing so would use up too much of the owner’s magical power.
It was difficult to find out. Because she stood in front of her master and wanted to remain a pure fox forever.
But—
[…] She remembered Soul of four years.]
If it bothers her again, she will get rid of it then.
