"This is... [Elzeroth Tower City]!"
"As always, it's a cold place, Red... not Master.Use insulation magic, it's too cold for the boulder. "
In front of Red, one of his disciples stood on the railing and watched the spectacular scenery spreading in front of him, while the other trembled freezing.
Beyond the handrail there was a huge hole - the other side so invisible - in which there were countless spires.
The spires were connected by narrow corridors, where evenly spaced blue fires swayed, creating fantastic sights in conjunction with countless giant ice columns growing from the cliffs toward the sky.
"It is one of the holy places where it is said that one of the five great saints of the Jehovah's Cross, Jesus, got divine revelation here...Look, there are only pure Muslims in there.Don't say anything you don't want to irritate me.Especially... Luca "
Luca turned to the words of Redo standing behind them with a disgusting look on her face.
What the hell?
"Anyway, you're the type who thinks you're religious or stupid."
"It's a boulder, Master, you're right.I may have met Elsius, but he wasn't a bum.I don't really know what he did here... but I don't think he's going to make it a sanctuary. "
"History is like that all the time.Please don't talk to the people here like that.... "
"I know. You're Master Uluse."
"Ahahah...."
Sheath laughs when she sees Redd and Luca interacting.
Thanks to Master Luca and I getting along while saying something about the kettle, the journey so far was lively and enjoyable.Luca keeps his master's words while saying bumpy things, and does everything he can to train.I can win now, but if I ask, I may be pulled out.Yes, it was a sheath that put more effort into training.
As he spoke, a young man with a wand hanging from the tip of a lantern that emitted blue light came from a narrow passage along the cliff that followed.
"Ah, are you the guests that Grand Virgin candidate Elena was saying?
The young man was wearing a blue cloak over the dress of a Jorge cross priest.There is a soft smile on his face.
"Oh, I'm Red.I'm an adventurer, but my main job is to study Jorge Cross.These two are my disciples. "
That's how Redd introduced Sheath and Luca.The sheath and Luca just lowered their heads silently, thanks to the nails they had been stabbed to say nothing more.
"Religious research is unusual for adventurers.But I'm sure she's good enough to allow Elaina to visit the Holy Land.I'm Rasula, the conductor and caregiver.It may be a short time, but thank you very much. "
That being said, the young man, Rasula, bowed gracefully to the nobility ceremony.Looking at that, Redo speculated that this young man named Laszra would probably have been quite the same person.
"Fufu, this is easier to understand than the Jorge greeting, right?Ah, it'll be cold... [insulation warmth (heat protection)] "
So Laszlo lifted up his staff, and a pale blue light enveloped the reds.
Wow, it's warm.
"I'm sorry, thank you, Mr. Laszlo."
"Ah, I thought you were gonna die cold."
When Rasula was satisfied with the reaction of the three of them, she said this way and went back to the original path.Then they followed in the order of sheath, Luca, and Red.
"Now, let's start with the history here.Originally, this [Elzeas Tower] was just a ruin.Researchers say the spire itself is a relic of the Old World, but we still don't know what it was built for. "
"Certainly, the saint Elseus got the divine revelation here..."
Laszra answers Redo's words.
"Yes. Elseus, who was still just an apprentice priest, found this place during the pilgrimage and discovered the mysterious nature of it.And Elseus meditated for two years at the top of the [Dragon Fang Tower] in the middle.And when I heard the word of God, I woke up as a saint. "
At the tip of Rasula's cane.Located in the center of this hole was a temporarily large and tall tower.As the name suggests, the tower, which stretches in a fang-shaped and distorted manner, is the place that has been specifically designated as a sacred place in the land called the [Elzeas Tower City].
"And since then, we Jorge Cross Muslims, especially those called the Elsians, have settled here to protect us, and we are still here."
"What about food?
Sheath answered as a pure question.The holes were surrounded by wasteland and there were no signs of people living there.
"Once a week, my compatriots carry me.In addition, some spires grow vegetables and cereals, so it's not too much trouble. "
"Oh... are you self-sufficient?"
Redo was surprised. I didn't think crops were growing in places like this.
"If you think about it, maybe."
"... self-sufficiency, hey"
Luca smiled at it.Luca closed her mouth again when Redo pushed her back.
"Mr. Laszra. I'd like to check on that [Dragon Fang Tower] if I could... oh, of course, under your direction and surveillance."
When Red said that, Rasula smiled bitterly.
"Hahaha... I guess so.I don't think it's any more interesting than that.But, Mr. Redo, as you understand, even this outer edge is allowed to enter only a limited number of Jordanians.It's only thanks to Elena that you, not even the Jorge Cross, can step in this way. "
In the dark, Rasla, who said he would not let him enter the Dragon Fang Tower, decided to give up for a while.
"I know. I appreciate it, too.Let's not talk about wagamma. "
"Thank you very much. For the moment, I'll ask the elders... but don't expect anything.But even I'm reluctant to look at this visit. "
Redd is more inclined to be honest or alert to Laszra than he thought.
While talking about it, the road along the cliff was cut off, and instead a passage led to a spire in the hole.
At both ends of the aisle stood two priests with strong bodies.He has a long spear-like torch with a blue fire on its tip.
"Thank you. They're like... guests."
When Rasula said so, the two priests nodded silently and held a prayer pose for the Jorge Cross ceremony.Looking at it, Rasula walks down the aisle.
"Wow, it's expensive!
As the sheath peered down from the edge of the passage, the ice blew up.It's dark below, and I can't see the bottom.
"Don't let yourself out.I still don't know how deep it is down there. "
"What? You don't understand!?
"Yes, each spire has a broken staircase that prevents it from going down.Only the Dragon Fang Tower in the middle goes down, but it's sealed off. "
"Block?"
"That's right.There are still monsters and old remains down there... very dangerous. "
"Oh, I didn't know that."
That was the first time Red had heard of it.Well, it was originally a closed land, and there was little information about it, but I didn't think there was such a place.
"Occasionally, we build pilgrims, especially for those of us who remember each other, and then we go underground one by one... but it seems a little difficult."
Red decided to remember the information.Pilgrimage Corps. The [Dragon Fang Tower] is a dungeon underground.
Maybe it has something to do with the brave.
When I was talking about that, I reached the first spire.
"This is one of the few places fully equipped for visitors.Basically, you'll stay here.Let me show you to your room first. "
When I entered the spire, it was a hall with a table and chairs where I could eat.Rooms, corridors, and stairs were arranged in a spiral, and the reds were guided to three adjacent rooms in a spiral corridor leading up.
"Please use this one.I hope you're tired, and I'll meet you in the hall just below in an hour.Let's think about future dates while eating. "
"Okay. Ugh, you guys leave your stuff and come to my room for now."
"Yes."
Copy that.
Thus, Redo and the others arrived safely in the [Tower of Elzeas].
The next morning.
When he noticed the noise below, Red hurriedly put the two swords to his waist and jumped out of the room.
At the same time, the sheath and Luca also came out of the door with their respective objects.
"Master, what is it!?
"I don't know."
"... it's not a mess anyway."
"Don't say that...."
Red shouted to Laszra, who was in the hall below, with only a bad feeling.
"What happened!?
The moment I saw the Reds, the expression of the priests around me became steep.
"Red-san... look at that..."
That said, Laszla pointed towards the passage leading to the cliff.
"You're lying....."
Redd didn't think of it, but he was stunned.
Because.
The passage that was supposed to lead to the cliff - completely collapsed (...) (...) was (...) (...) or (...) et al. (...).
