Episode 157: The Underground Temple of Rown 2
"Let's just talk a little bit about the underground temple in Rown where we're going."
Lucia walks forward, talking.
"By using the infinite mana produced from the statue stone, A ul Naav has acquired a rich forest. Al Naav, the capital of the Elves, which brings together two hundred thousand people, was the most prosperous city in the world."
People in the woods, when it's a story or something, have an image of not being very urbanized.
In the first place, you don't think it's very populous?
After all, there is a strong impression that forest = hunting and gathering life = primitive.
But the country of Lucia was different.
I wonder if the conditions seem to be right and strongest for abundant forest resources and for vegetation to recover soon after mana even after logging.
Fast-growing forests, and rich soils, must be a tremendous advantage.
It's a bit unthinkable in our world, but with all the resources of mana, this kind of cheesy nation also comes into being.
A lot of emotions, or that vibrant world I saw in Lord of the Rings is going to fade away so much...
Yeah, of course, neither Lucia nor the elves in this world are bad at one thing in this matter.
"The underground temple of Rown was managed by the royal family as the heart, symbol, of the richness of the country. They let the royal woman live in the temple and run it as a substantial rear house. The contemporary king gave birth to more than two hundred sons to more than a hundred women. I was the most brilliant of them all."
"That's..."
"The Royal Experiment, to the extent that. There were around a hundred 'elements', including me, but I was the only one who did not fall off by the time the country perished."
It reminds me of the castle that sent hundreds of children to the saints.
Even a few of you, no. You mean if you grow up alone, that's fine.
I wonder if that would be a necessary sacrifice if the country were to be saved.
No, from Lucia's mouth, it doesn't look like she was killed by another 'element' that fell off.
Simply, it may just be used as an instrument of political marriage.
A royal would be worth a lot of use.
"It was also studied how to free my abilities without Malevito...... There was a monster invasion before that."
And then, as I knew.
The country perished, and Lucia came to Lean.
In the end, she met Marebito, or us.
"The underground temple of Rown, which was banned by non-royal men, thus boasted some of the country's finest protections. Difficult to fall from the front, can bounce off any protection... should have"
Nevertheless, while the country itself is doomed, there is no way that only this place can be protected.
Lucia said she doesn't know exactly how this place fell.
Apparently it is certain that the statue stone, which was bringing abundant grace to the land, has ceased to function.
Stopped functioning, or...
So I wonder if the earth has become such a wilderness.
"The pile I saw at the stormy temple in Gal Yarth wasn't working. On the contrary, it was used by monsters"
"Perhaps you were afraid of that. I think my arrogant father, at the end of the day, guided the end of the whole world."
Lucia's words were so spicy.
Well, it seems like the usual thing for her to say something critical about her country.
"Leanne thinks the statue stones of the land are sealed. Because the royal family had a ritual of sealing for times of need. This should have been inherited by all the nations that inherit the five piles, with similar rituals. In the unlikely event that a pile is to pass into the hands of a stranger, he said to make sure to seal it before doing so. That should have been the duty of the pile-keepers."
"Uh, in Gal Yards, the statue stone, of course, was used. You mean the storm temple guys didn't fulfill their obligations?
"Yes, the corruption of the land will mean that it was more than our country"
I see.
Is that why this is such a troublesome thing as an undead infinite gush?
In the end, I pushed this one off with the quantity, too.
What the hell would have happened if there had been another Divine Soldier Necromancer on that spot?
Exactly, I don't know if I could fight it.
"So you don't have to worry about your enemies using infinite mana this time"
"Perhaps. Until now, the unsealing has not been confirmed. Because if the statue stone is activated, there will always be an impact on the ground."
I see.
That's dependable.
There's only two of us here, but then there's nothing we can do about it if the other guy has the ability to be cheesy.
"So, when Lucia unseals it and uses the ability of the statue stone to seal the enemy,"
"If the operation works,"
"When it works, don't you think?
"Of course, I intend to succeed..."
Lucia stopped and looked back.
The red eyes that stare at me shake in confusion.
"The operation on the Gal Yards has already been successfully completed. If you have to, you can call for backup from the land. It may be possible to break through from the front by pressing from the front."
"That's too much drain," he said.
"But if you fail... Kaz, you will be lost"
I laughed bitterly.
That's not true.
"Lucia, in that case, you die, too. Either way, it'll be over when he dies."
"Even if I die, there is only one princess in the diaspora, who disappears. But, Cuz, are you..."
"You know what, Lucia? We're buddies. My people's lives are equal, and I don't want any more of them to die alone."
Lucia shut up and stared at me.
I kind of understand the words she's swallowing.
That's an ideal theory, and if it's a dream story, you want to be.
But it's not.
This is determination.
"Lucia and you are as important as Alice and Mia. [M] That's all, remember."
"Is that, not a romantic emotion..."
"As a companion"
Lucia also swallowed some words to get lost...
"Yes."
and nodded.
My facial expressions always seemed a little loose.
The end point of the corridor, at first glance, was just the end of the line.
But, naturally, there's no way there's really anything.
When Lucia touched the wall, the entire wall of the end glowed blue.
"Ahead, it's the enemy's nest. Cuz, are you ready..."
"I don't think so."
I held Lucia's hand.
Lucia has gripped back hard.
"Coming."
Two of us, hands on the wall.
Teleport-specific intoxication.
Teleported out was a warehouse-like small stone room.
There's only one door. The door is open, and I can see the aisle.
From that passage, unreliable lights like candles were plugging in.
The room is littered with debris that would have been crates.
It was dusty.
I see, from here on out, is it a space of dust...
So, from the aisle, the smell of my nose about to bend, the smell of fecal urine drifts.
Yeah......? Is there a creature?
Animal monsters, not undead?
If you're a nosy animal-based monster, you might sniff us right in.
Then it's a pain in the ass.
For one thing, subpoena the Rank 9 user demon, Paladin.
This paladin is our escort.
Status quo, only melee power.
Compared to the Occasion or Alice, it's thin, but unless even the Divine Soldier class enemies come, it'll be a mess.
"I'll scout in Invisible Scouts first. Remote viewing, please keep an eye out."
"Accepted. Nice to meet you, Cuz"
Lucia told me what was going on down the aisle.
Going left, there is a hall, and Rown's underground tree says it will be ahead of it.
I sent this user demon down the aisle from the point of view of Invisible Scouts.
Transparent scouts walk slowly through stone aisles to avoid making footsteps.
Occasionally, the discarded crates are rolling all over the place, strangely with poor vision.
Although this also provides us with a shield.
I saw Lucia's hall.
By the entrance, there's a stack of crates.
The Invisible Scout leads up to the crate and sneaks a peek into the room from above.
On the wall of the hall, something like a light was attached, which emitted a blur and orange light.
Probably magical lighting.
Thanks to that all over the place, indoors are bright as thoughts.
So, the cause of the rotten odor was found.
What was there is, in a way, a familiar, tragic sight.
All over the hall, more than twenty women were layering their skin with monsters.
However, the sight that is now spreading in front of me was not as unscrupulous as the rape of the oak......
The women, they all wore collars.
The excrement drowned.
In addition, monsters are a completely different type from oaks.
Everyone has dark green skin and is about the back of a kindergarten child.
If you look closely, they were apparently dwarf-shaped monsters with lizard-like faces.
Mostly, one woman is swarmed with two or three dwarves, ravaging her.
The number of women is a little over twenty, with more than forty on the monster side.
I wonder if this dwarf monster should be named Kobold.
'Cause, ah, that's what I thought...
No, if you've already encountered a high ministry or something, it doesn't matter.
I whispered and explained to Lucia the situation in the room.
Monsters will also be described in detail.
However, I do not speak the word Kobold.
Now what does Lucia call her opponent...
"It's probably Kobold."
Lucia, after all, that sort of thing.
"The hands are clever and we will specialize in group warfare. It is not as strong as it is on its own, but it is said to be a monster that is lumpy and sloppy."
"You're a dwarf, but you have lust or something?
"The purpose would be mana. Is there a magic guide somewhere in the room that saves mana?"
Oh, Mana.
It was originally planned to be supplied with mana from Rown's underground tree, so I wonder if it feels like an alternative to that.
Uh, magic gear, magic gear... oh, I wonder.
"Several Kobolds are lifting the woman and carrying her to the back left corner. I don't know what it is from here."
"Perhaps there is a magic guide installed there"
Yeah, that, but then why do I need to bother raping you?
My question was on my face, Lucia said, "It seems to be mistaken, but the opposite is true".
"Kobold is a monster that doesn't require much mana to maintain its body. It is possible to supply this externally because more mana is produced in the body than is necessary to maintain it. It is said that the most efficient way to do this is to pour mana on humans once and for all."
"I guess that means you're putting mana in those women over there once and sucking that mana with a magic guide"
"Probably. So you want to destroy the magic guide"
Yeah, I guess so.
Whatever the purpose of the enemy, it is our mission to interrupt it.
"I wonder what you're going to do by saving mana"
"For example, you need tons of mana to create fancy magic guides"
"Do you know what kind of magic equipment you're building here?"
"There are several possibilities, but there is one possibility, for example, a magic guide for the royal family to unseal the seal they unleashed on Rown's underground tree,"
Well, if you even unseal it, you can use Mana all you want.
So now you're taking away Mana?
Or not, but then it's possible that the orcs who attacked the school were thinking the same thing...
No, you don't.
Those orcs were just moving with desire to see.
He seemed retarded.
