Chapter 112
Then Siervian, who had been wandering around with a small orb of light in her hand, pointed to one side. At a child’s eye level, she could see some legible characters placed considerably lower.
“Representing Vuific, may you rest in peace? May you find eternal peace?”
Indeed, this place seemed to be a space dedicated to commemorate someone. As Damian contemplated the meaning and organized his thoughts, he found himself pondering. It seemed that it would be better to return to the magic circle they had entered initially.
“Huh?”
Thinking differently, Siervian tilted her head as she mulled over the phrases Damian had read aloud.
Vuific was a flower known by the nickname ‘Winter Farewell.’ She had even discovered it herself in the palace’s garden when she was younger.
“What’s wrong?”
“Well, it’s just…”
What puzzled her at this moment was the reference to the name here.
‘Why is this here?’
Elvish, Vuific.
Overwhelmed by the unexpected information, Siervian pointed at the characters for Vuific, as if entranced, and asked, “The word representing… it must refer to someone, right?”
“Well, probably. Referring to a person named Vuific?”
Vuific wasn’t a person’s name. However, she knew of someone who used ‘Vuific’ as their nickname.
“Vuific was the first emperor’s nickname, right…?”
“What?”
At that moment, a loud thud echoed from a spot near the statue.
“…!”
Startled, Siervian and Damian, who had just relaxed upon realizing there was nothing here, instinctively stepped back.
Instantly, Damian cast an offensive spell in his hand and quickly pushed Siervian behind him. However, what they witnessed was an unexpected scene.
“Originally, over there…”
“Yes, it was a wall.”
Originally, there were sturdy pillars lined along the wall near the statue. But now, in the direction they were facing, a small corridor had suddenly appeared. The wall that had blocked their way seemed to have shifted like a door, with one side sliding against another.
“What should we do?”
“Let’s wait for a moment.”
The emergence of the passage put both of them on high alert. They wondered if there might be something inside that would attack them. However, even after waiting for a while, nothing came out to attack them.
“Shall we go?”
“This place has light magic as well. It seems similar to the corridor we passed earlier.”
As they cautiously approached, they could tell, just like as Siervian had said, this new corridor resembled the one they had passed through when they arrived.
A single light floated at a certain distance from the ceiling, creating a unique atmosphere. It was fascinating.
“Be careful, Siervy.”
“Yes.”
Casting magic detection once again, they stepped into the new corridor. After all, if they wanted to escape from this place, they had to keep moving.
Siervian was lost in thought as she looked at the newly revealed corridor.
‘Why did this secret passage suddenly appear?’
She didn’t know if reading all the Elvish writing on the walls was a trigger for this place. Perhaps it was essential to speak out a specific word presented there.
‘By the way, I never expected to see the name Vuific here.’
She recalled how she knew about Vuific, a rare flower which rarely bloomed in the deep crevices of the mountains.
It was because she had seen in a history book that Vuific was a nickname frequently used by the first emperor. Curious about what it was, she deliberately looked it up. After seeing the beautiful flower in an encyclopedia, she remembered it.
“Siervy, if what you’re saying is true, could this place be something created by the first emperor?”
“Well, it could be a coincidence.”
Nevertheless, it was a possibility. If this place was somehow related to the first emperor, it would explain many things, such as why the teleportation spell reacted only to them.
[Damian Elverdotte]
Thoughts: If this is indeed the legacy of the first emperor, I should explore it this time. I might find clues outside that could help defeat our enemies.
The corridor continued to stretch long, maintaining its characteristic of leading straight ahead. As the endless corridor began to feel slightly eerie, suddenly, a different space appeared.
‘This was just like a treasure vault, as I expected.’
It was strange because the only similarity between the corridors was that they were urged to continue walking straight ahead, but something odd happened this time.
Anyway, as they cautiously examined the surroundings, her brother who appeared a bit tired from magic detection spells, said, “It seems a bit smaller than before.”
Fortunately, this time, the corridor was already lit, revealing what lay ahead. Despite searching with magic detection spells, this place appeared to be unremarkable—it was only a small ordinary room.
“Is it… a laboratory?”
“It seems so.”
Inside the room, there were numerous tools of peculiar shapes. In the center, a cylindrical object was vertically embedded in the floor and emitted a faint light, and scattered about it were carved stone fragments. On the old wooden desk attached to the wall, papers with complex formulas were strewn everywhere.
The most peculiar thing was that despite this seemingly ancient space, there was not a speck of dust.
“A preservation spell is in place. It seems to be a laboratory.”
“What could this place be?”
“Ah, don’t touch that pole, Siervy.”
“Okay.”
In response to her brother, who pointed at the cylindrical object that had been giving her that strange feeling, she readily agreed. However, she didn’t omit observing the most unique object in this room from a distance.
‘I could feel something from the ground…’
There was a strong and distinct energy flow, like a flow of mana, emanating from the cylindrical object.
Fortunately, the energy didn’t feel aggressive.
“Siervy, there’s a teleportation circle here.”
“Is it the way out?”
“Well, I’m not sure.”
After careful exploration, they discovered a teleportation circle on the opposite side of the entrance they came through. They saw a magic circle atop the stairs that resembled an altar, as if to prevent accidentally stepping on it.
Damian became deeply engrossed in his thoughts without stepping on the stairs.
“Siervy, can you examine the magic circle here a little? Examine it, see if there are any clues.”
“Okay. I’ll do my best.”
“Don’t get too close and activate the magic circle alone, understand?”
“Okay!” Despite warning her, Damian was constantly worried that Siervian would succumb to curiosity and activate the magic circle alone.
However, he had to do it that way because he couldn’t ask Siervian to explore a place where there might be a lot of Elvish writing. In the end, he cautiously kept one eye on his sister while looking around elsewhere.
‘He’s really full of worries…’
Anyway, in order to fulfill her assigned mission, she extended her neck and carefully examined the magic circle from where she stood.
In fact, Damian, who was excellent at magic, should’ve known that the chances of her discovering something were slim.
‘Hmm, I still have no idea!’
She was staring at the pattern of the magic circle without understanding any of it, when suddenly, a strange sensation made her alert.
‘Huh…?’
The presence seemed to whisper to her and promise to take her wherever she wanted…
“If this place is truly related to the first emperor, then this is…!”
“Haha. I don’t think such an important item would be casually placed here, Siervian.”
[Damian Elverdotte]
Mood: Very hopeful
Even though he said that, it seemed that he too, secretly had high hopes.
So Siervian pursed her lips in excitement and concentrated to examine the documents on top. Since he didn’t think she would discover anything about the magic circle, Damian didn’t stop her.
‘I hope everyone is okay. Maybe we can find an escape route here.’
Suddenly, she became concerned about the knights left outside and the attendants who would be panicking when they disappeared. And she also worried about their father, who would have received news by now.
‘Get a grip and stay strong.’ Comforting herself, she flipped through the papers on the desk, following Damian’s lead.
It wasn’t a coincidence that they were the only ones who arrived here from that field. Although she couldn’t understand most of the things written, the formulas on the paper were composed of numbers, so she could interpret them.
“They’re all ordinary spells.”
“Oh, this one is strange, Brother.” She discovered a very peculiar formula among the papers she held in her hand.
Damian took it from her and automatically read the Elvish script written at the top.
“Proof of the effect of fire whirlwind.”
“Oh, isn’t that one of the war spells?”
Since a familiar word came up, she brightened and asked. Damian, who also showed an interest in the spell, smiled and continued to read the next words.
“That’s right. It’s written here, too. A black… magic, proven in war, a major…representative formula.”
However, the moment she heard the next words, she felt her heart drop.
“…What is this?”
The paper both of them were holding dropped with a loud fluttering sound onto the desk. Hearing an unexpected sound, she suddenly sensed a familiar fear enveloping her, the same as when she had been caged in the cold underground prison and heard the angry cries of the crowd.
