◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki
Mount Navathe is a rocky mountain on the border of the land of Gypsy and Apophis.
The altitude is not very high.
Mount Iwayama is long to the east and west, and many valleys are formed.
Beyond this mountain is the land of Apophis.
The pyramid of interest is just beyond Mount Navathe.
In the first place, the Pyramid of Destination was robbed of what was under construction, alerting to the actions of the Serpent Queen, who ruled the land of Apophis.
All I can say is that I'm stupid.
The architect was Halsese, and the person in charge was Halsese and Isdes.
They said they had a full defense, but the enemy's invasion outweighed it.
It's not even an excuse.
The empty ship carrying us descends into the huge valley of the rocky mountains.
I will not attack the pyramid directly as it is.
Because apparently the enemy already knows we're coming.
The ambush is no longer possible.
Then I decided to take a moment and attack slowly.
Hide the empty ship in the shadow of the rock and we walk the valley.
"I don't think you need to go down all the way? Nothing seems to be going on here."
I say what I wonder.
That's what Reggie and Ishtia think.
It appears on my face.
By the way, Tona doesn't know what she's thinking with no expression. Nell looks uninterested and Mejed doesn't see his face in the first place.
"That's not true. Dark-haired wise man Chiyuki. Yes, there is."
It was Isdés who answered.
"What's going on?
"Hmm!! That's what you'll find out when you go. You're gonna follow me in silence."
Reggie says Halseus is in a bad mood.
Halses has been in a bad mood for a long time.
I don't think Raj likes the fact that he summoned Benne, the spiritual superior of light.
And then walk for a while.
"Wow!
Unexpectedly, I make a voice.
It was when I was walking through the valley for a while.
This is because of the emergence of a structure made of cut cliffs.
The structure is beautifully decorated.
"This is the Kaznel Palace. It's one of the bases for the Dwarves against Apophis. We will reclaim the pyramids based here."
Isdes explains.
Wow, I was just about to get inside.
Armed skeletons appear from the ground.
Skeletons.
The shadow of the rock shadow makes it possible to operate here.
"Skeleton? Why are you here?
Raige stood up for the weapon.
"Wait, these Skeletons are not enemies. It's Nepheus! Thanks for picking me up!!
When Isdés screams, those who wrap their bodies in bandages appear from behind the building.
You look human. But he's not a living thing.
Probably an undead named Mummy.
Mummy and the others put one knee on the ground and crossed their arms with their chests and lowered their heads together.
Apparently, it's under the command of Isdes, including Skeletons.
I found out about Mummy when I looked into the pyramids.
As the administrator of the pyramid, Mummy is the undead created by Isdes.
As intelligent as vampires.
The big difference is that it doesn't need to be replenished like a vampire.
Some of the pyramids were built away from the city, so Mummy, who doesn't need supplies, is a good administrator.
I usually sleep and wake up when something happens.
Some people mistake the pyramid for a grave because a body named Mummy is asleep.
And since there are magic devices made of gold in the pyramid, it seems that the graveyard rougher (Tomb Raider) that targeted them will break into it.
However, the intruder will die under a spell that Mummy is good at.
Luckily fleeing the pyramids, they can operate in the light of the sun, covered in a magical cloth.
You'll be chased everywhere.
"I've been expecting you!! Our God!!
Among the mummies came out a man wearing a headscarf called Nemesis and the most luxurious costume.
He is probably Nefes.
It will be called King Mummy (Lord), or Tomb King, the superior species of Mummy.
"Mm-hmm. It's Nepheus. You're ready, right?
"Yes, my God. We are gathering as many Mummy soldiers as we can, waiting for the pyramids nearby."
King Mummy (Lord) Nepheth bows his head respectfully.
From that appearance, I feel a strong connection between Isdes and Nefes.
Perhaps Nepheth was created by Isdes.
The army god Issue is the best swordsman in gypsies.
At the same time, he is a good Necromancer.
In Gypsy Seal, the best warrior can become Mummy under Issue and gain eternal life.
For this reason, he is worshipped as a god of mammy making, and as an idol in the sacred room.
This area is with the legend of the War Maiden.
I don't know why Mummy has so many ex-humans.
It may simply be a matter of numbers, or it may be reluctant to make other beast gods' families mummy.
"Come on, great people. I'll show you inside."
When Nepheth said so, Mummy's soldiers stood up and split between the left and right.
Enter the Kaznel Palace and enter the large hall.
It seems to be much larger inside than the size of the entrance.
"It's Nepheth. How's the stolen pyramid?
"Ha!! I'm on it. I'm going to make a visual."
According to Nepheth, Mummy's magician cast a spell.
Light stretches from the domed ceiling and the image is projected into the air.
A black pyramid is reflected in the dim view of the sky covered in black clouds.
Though the sky is dark, countless wild fires (wild owisps) fly around the black pyramids, so anyone without night vision will be able to see them.
In addition, the pale and glowing knights of skeletons riding black horses around the pyramid are running through the sky.
It's a superior undead called the Ghost Knight.
This undead is a powerful monster with superior martial arts and magic, able to summon and operate a nightmare horse (Nightmare Horse), a median spirit of darkness.
I can see other monsters like the Reaper and the Ghost.
Quite a lot.
They may be watching us.
"Them!! Fill our pyramids black!!
Halseus moans with regret.
I wonder if the product was not painted black.
On the side of the black pyramid is a white sigil of Diadonna the Snake Queen.
This pyramid belongs to Apophis.
"What do you mean? Looks like the footage is disturbing.
"Thank you very much. My God. Apparently, powerful magic ripples don't trigger magic well."
Nefes apologizes to Isdes.
Perhaps even my magic will not produce any more footage.
Just watching this footage feels powerful magic from the pyramid.
"Hey, isn't it much bigger than a regular pyramid?
I say what I think of the pyramid.
Many of the pyramids in Gypsy Seal are based on the golden pyramids made by Hayboss God in Arnak.
Basically, the structure hasn't changed, no matter how different, it should only change a little in size.
However, I think the black pyramid is three times larger than the normal pyramid.
"Exactly. Dark-haired wise man. I put my hands on the design to make it an absolute protection from Apophis. But as a result, they were delayed and attacked."
You can't!!
I feel like I'm stuck in the words of Issue.
"Until now, they have never attacked. There was an alarm. A sudden attack. I was able to evacuate Halseus-sama and the dwarves who were working on it."
I think Nepheth is drooping.
Perhaps Nefes was there.
Could it have stimulated Apophis by trying to make this pyramid?
Then you're too dumb.
As a result, the power of the black pyramid made a hole in the gypsy seal boundary.
It seems that Halses and Isdés received a fairly strong sermon from Selmetra about it.
"You're an idiot."
Reggie says something I didn't say, even if I wanted to.
"You!! What do you mean!! I won't let you fool me!!
As I thought, the incompetent prince is angry.
I want you to be careful what you say because it is troublesome.
Halseus pointed his hip sword towards Reiji.
Halses' sword is a common single-blade weapon in gypsies called Copish.
The blade is curved midway and has an ax-like slashing force.
"Prince, please calm down. Now we should focus on reclaiming the pyramid."
Tona stops Halses.
Halseus moans slightly as Tona enters.
You probably don't want Tona to hate you.
"Indeed, Lord Tona is right. You saved my life."
Halseus holds the sword.
"Ah, let's just say that...."
Reggie seems to be in trouble.
It must be ridiculous to have a partner.
"Lord Isdes. I want you to tell me what to do."
When Tona listens, Isdes nods.
"Yes, Tona. There are many enemies, but they are undead after all. I don't like the magic of light. And here are Halseus-sama and Reiji who can use the magic of light. And since Mummy and the others are resistant to light magic, they will not be accompanied by Halseus-sama's magic. So I'm going to go from the front."
I want to explain to Isdes that it's just a push.
However, there may be no other solution.
"What if someone gets caught?
When Tona asks, Isdes leans his neck.
"Lord Tona? What are you doing?"
"Perhaps the cause of the disappearance is the Apophis. Some of them may have been captured. There are also cats who have been reprimanded."
We've heard about the disappearance.
Probably the Apophis gods.
They could be taken hostage.
"I will abandon it. Recovering or destroying the pyramids is our top priority."
Halseus nodded in Isdes' words.
"It's Tona. Those who are caught will not want to be our shackles. I can't help it here."
Halseus and Isdés are right.
But Tona doesn't seem convinced.
"I want to help if I can."
"But I don't know where he is, and I don't even know if he's alive."
Tona shook her head next to Isdes' words.
"It's okay. I can get more information. Get me a map of the pyramids."
"Ah, I see, Lord Tona. It's Nepheus. Bring a map of the inside of the pyramid."
"Yes, my God."
Nepheth nodded and asked his man Mummy to bring more maps.
"Thank you."
Tona takes a book out of the air in thanksgiving.
It looks like some sort of magic book.
"Summon a special spirit. Book of wind and earth. Open it."
A book of magic emerges from Tona's hands.
When the Wizard Book opens parallax in the air, the letters written in it glow.
Shining letters come out of the book and fly around Tona.
"Running from the roots of the world to the top, little spirits. Answer my call. Tell me, tell me, Ratatosk."
A lot of small angled squirrels appear that glow green in response to Tona's call.
Squirrels circle around Tona and leave with a fierce momentum.
Tona called out the Ratatosk of the Spirit. His alias is "the tooth of the mouth."
I don't have any attributes in particular.
This little spirit can go to the place of the earth spirits and the place of the wind spirits, and can get the information.
Unless it's so powerful, you can get inside the border.
However, there are constraints.
The information conveyed by this Spirit is not always accurate.
Therefore, the surgeon needs the ability to read.
Lino stopped calling because the information conveyed by this spirit was too inaccurate.
However, it would be quite powerful if it could be read well.
"All right. I've looked into the information that 42 ratatosians will tell us, but I think the captured ones are here in the pyramid."
Tona points to a room in the pyramid.
"Well, that's between Duamtoev. There are people caught there."
Tona nods.
"That's what Ratatosk thinks. But I didn't know the exact number."
This is going to raise an impressive voice.
I pulled the information from that ratatosk.
Probably used some sort of magic book, but it's still amazing.
"That's Tona!! You're about to enter that black pyramid, aren't you? Let's get you out of here!!
Reiji praises Tona.
But Tona's expression didn't move.
Until now, if there's no response, Raige will be a little miserable.
"Please wait, Lord Reggie. I know who's been captured, but there's still a problem. According to information, the prince of the snake awaits in the pyramid. We have to do something about him."
"Oh, you mean him. I'll take care of him. So there is no problem. Come on, let's go."
Reiji says confidently.
"Wait a minute!!
Suddenly, Nell, who had been silent until then, screamed.
"What's wrong, Nell?
"Tonna. I can smell rats just now."
Nell and his cats nodded at once.
"What are you talking about? It's Nell, isn't it normal to have rats?
"Halseus-sama is right. Princess, I do smell rats, but Arnak would probably break into them here."
I don't particularly care about Halses or Issue.
Cats and fairy cats certainly had a special ability to sense rats.
Perhaps that's why mice are more concerned than other species.
"No? Wait, Mummy over there? Come out here."
Points to Mummy's body that Rage is holding back.
Mummy called me and walked over here.
"Chi!! Kizukareta!! Minna out Tekoi!!
I can hear your voice not from your mouth, but from your stomach.
All of a sudden, Mummy's stomach bursts from the inside, and something small pops up.
"Shh?!! Ratman?!!
Rat Man jumped out.
It wasn't just one animal that made it.
Rat Man jumped out of several of Mummy's stomachs.
"I hate cats!! Spider Discovery Kittecretana!!
Rat Man (Rat Man) and others move quickly toward the cats.
"Everybody intercept!!
"" "Nyaaaahh!!!
The cats pull out the thin sword (Rapier) on their hips at once.
The cats in the boots that came with Nell were the best known as the fairy cat swordsmen.
Because of its cuteness, I'd love to take one home.
The fairy cat swordsmen (Nyankofencers) take back Rat Man one after another.
That's the princess's escort. We had no need to move at all.
"I didn't know you were being hacked..."
I look at Nepheth as unbelievable.
That sounds like the same to Isdés.
"Probably had the ability to erase signs and presence to the limit. Otherwise, it's impossible to infiltrate."
Tona explains.
I was also aware of the presence of a mouse.
But even if I was there, I didn't mind.
It is an abominable ability.
"It makes sense that the information should be out of the box. I'm sure they'll be waiting for you."
Rage laughs invincibly.
Strong enemies are waiting for us.
But to save Shirone. I have to go.
I made up my mind.
