The Cave King will live a Paradise Life -Becoming the strongest with the mining skill?-
Episode 163: It was an advance payment!
"Su, wow, this place is already here!"
Princess Alissa of the Kingdom of Alancia raised her voice on Taran, who was going faster than a horse.
Those who pass by see what happens to us.
Everyone was thin without exception.I can't see any obese people.
Besides, most private houses are just stone buildings.
Somehow, don't recall the early shawl.
Sheol was also a grey island at first.
The roads are sparse and the streets are so lonely.
Riena asks Arisa.
"Alissa... the population of this city was 30,000, right?"
"Oh, no, technically, three thousand more..."
"Thirty-three thousand?"
"No, 30,000..."
Riena leans her neck, but nods immediately.
"Thirty thousand people. I understand."
As a city of this size, maybe 30,000 people are small.
But it's hard for Sheol to feed 30,000 people.
Now Riena is wondering how much food she can share with the people of this city.
As we go down the road, we see the tower with the Shrine of Silence that we came out of.
Alissa looked at it and said.
"Straight down the main street behind this tower!There is a royal palace there! "
Talan moves in the direction that Alissa points to.
He stepped out behind the tower and suddenly opened his eyes as he walked along the main street.
"This is...."
Riena was stunned by the sight in front of her.
The streets we've seen so far were too lonely.
But what we see now is a very glorious place.
Beyond the high iron fence, you can see a large lake.
It was surrounded by plants and a luxurious white wall mansion on the outside.
The fence itself contains magic... I wonder if it is enchanted like a shield.
Riena murmured.
"Nature remains here....."
"Oh, it's the only place on the continent...."
Alissa murmured with a complicated face.
Is this lake like a world tree to us?
But unlike us, it doesn't seem to be open to the outside world.
There are too many guards standing near the fence.
Children won't even stop by, and it won't be an easy place to get in and out.
Sheol's World Tree is accessible to everyone on the island....
I was also worried about the guard's equipment.
Unlike a soldier on a castle wall, he wears iron plate armor that covers his entire body.
Some of them wore golden armor, maybe a captain.
Nice weapon.
Huge shields and decorative hullbirds.
Inside the fence are archers.
I didn't see it at first because it was behind the tower, but I didn't expect the city to change so much in the same walls.
In this sight, I murmur unexpectedly.
"... Alissa. Why don't you turn it around the walls with all this power?"
"Well, that's... I think that's strange, too..."
I have even more doubts about Alisa's poor answer.
"If you think that's funny, why not?"
Talan almost stopped at the fence gate.
The guards were all pointing their weapons at us.
Alissa screams at the guards as she gets off Taran.
"These are my guests!Those who came from the Temple of Silence! Keep going! "
"Your Highness, even if you are a guest of His Highness, you cannot let anyone pass through!In the first place, no one with such a monster can enter this sanctuary! "
The guard pointed at Taran and Siel and said.
Talan and Siel listened to it and stared at the guards without moving.
But neither I nor Riena are feeling well.Talan and Sierr are important friends.He's a monster, so don't let him through.
"Oh, you guys! How rude!They offered us help!?Those who have prevented the raid together! Apologize now! "
Alissa immediately yelled at the guards.
But nobody listens.I saw Alisa making a fool of her.
Meanwhile, a man in a glorious coat emerges from the fence gate.
A young man with long blonde hair, wearing gold and silver jewellery ornaments all over his body.
"Your Highness, Alissa! Are you back in the sanctuary now!?"
"Lurat! These people have appeared in the Temple of Silence!They can help us! "
Apparently the man is named Lurat.
"Hmm. So these are the guardians..."
When Lurat stares at us, he laughs at us like a fool.
"I'm a very poor person. Isn't it the same as those people?And even ugly creatures... get the hell out of here!Don't mess with my Highness any more! "
Having heard that, I was overwhelmed by anger.
Tell Riena and the others immediately.
"Guys, let's go home. We don't need to help these guys."
Riena nodded silently.
"Ladies and gentlemen, wait! I will make sure he apologizes for his disrespect!"
Alissa lowered her head to us and stared at Lurat.
"How rude! Lurat, they helped us!?"
Alissa returns it, but Lurat says it's a hassle.
"You don't have to say it out loud.Without him, the walls of Alamberg will not be broken. "
"How can you say that!? More than a thousand people have already died!Incursions are getting intense day by day... even the sanctuary will be over if the back wall is broken! "
"The sanctuary will be destroyed?Hahaha! This ancient sacred land will never be destroyed!We have plenty of food. "
"Lurat, you don't know anything!Even if we don't have food anymore! "
"People have as many mushrooms as they want.Or is that it? Your Highness is finally tired of that?I can't help it. "
Lurat says, removing the red apple from the waist bag and showing it to Alisa.
"Look, you like it, right?"
Lurat threw an apple in front of Alissa.
But I'll crush it in half.
How could you do this... to make food worse?
With this apple, at least one child should have smiled.
But Lurat doesn't seem guilty.
He says with a smiling face.
"If you want to eat, go ahead. The sanctuary has plenty of other food!So come back here, too! "
"No! Lurat! Apologize to them!!"
Earlier, Alissa drooling just by saying the name of the food, but she showed no interest in this apple.
All that, she looks even more angry.
I pulled the arm of Alissa.
"... Alissa, I understand the situation. That's enough."
"But heel!"
"We're not going to help them... but don't worry.We're all here to help. "
Alissa looks surprised at the words.
Meanwhile, Lurat, listening, laughed.
"I can't help but laugh at you in such a disgraceful outfit!Your Highness! We and those there live in a different world!Come back to me as soon as possible!! "
That's how Lurat went back into the sanctuary.
