Chapter 233
A very nervous young man is reporting in front of a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
“Final analysis suggests that Bellev Luingenes installed the magic circle and Lyranne Vivien activated it.”
“Does that mean you’re both in the city?”
“Yes. Assuming that Noark’s protective barrier is working normally, it is highly likely that he is also inside Lapdonia.”
“One camouflage means they’re astonishing.”
“They’re sick of it. Then, I’ll report on the casualty statistics collected this morning.
The young man reported the total damage of this incident in a sad voice.
However, the middle-aged man just listened without inspiration.
“Yes, a lot died.”
4 70% of the explorers above the floor are dead.
It is said that only about 1,600 explorers who remained in the discard pile and the reactionary elements who did not enter the labyrinth from the beginning survived.
In fact, massive damage equivalent to a dimension collapse.
“It was better.”
Lapdonia The chancellor of the Marquis Tercerion laughed as if spilling out of one ear,
and the young man tilted his head.
“Yes?”
“It’s nothing. I have something to think about, so go out.”
“…Relax, father.
” “In
the palace, by position .”
‘
I guess I’ll have to contact the Mage Tower soon.’
The man got up and went to the window.
I could see servants everywhere busy with today’s event.
Shaaaaa.
When I opened the window wide, a strong wind blew in.
The sun was warm and the sky was bright without a single cloud.
” His Majesty the King will like it.”
It was the perfect day to start a new era.
***
Ecliptic Karnon.
A special area where commoners cannot even enter without permission.
“Oh, is that the royal palace!!
” After entering through the gate, a road that stretches all the way to the palace appears.
The floor is full of flower petals. There
are crowds of people
gathered everywhere as if watching a parade on the main road
. It’s made up of employees who go to work or stay here.
“Wow! It’s a parade of heroes!”
“Sprinkle the petals!”
I don’t know how much they were paid as part-timers, but countless servants lined up on the roadside and greeted us fiercely.
How long has it passed?
“We’ve arrived. Were there any inconveniences during the journey?”
Soon the carriage stopped in front of the outer wall of the palace.
Not only the one we rode in, but also hundreds of other carriages.
“Then let’s get off.”
“Oh wait! Let’s catch our breath for a bit, huh?”
Are you feeling nervous now?
Actually, he said that this is the first time he’s been to the ecliptic.
“…Tell me
when you ‘re ready .”
I saw the faces.
The survivors who crossed the line of fire together during the last tragedy.
However, there was a distance between them, so we only greeted each other with our eyes whenever we met.
“This is Pert, who served as the guide for today’s heroes. come here We will serve you.”
We simply finished checking our IDs in front of the gate and followed the guide into the palace. The
official name is the Palace of Glory
.
Bi Bjorn…….”
Einar glared at me as if he was stunned at the splendid interior, worthy of the name of the palace. He is
always like this in a strange place.
“Straighten your shoulders. If you came as a guest, wouldn’t it be more strange if you did that?”
“…Ah, okay!”
“Come this way.”
Following the guide, we arrived at a private reception room of about 20 pyeong.
“It is an honor to serve our heroes.” As soon as we entered, the ladies-in-waiting came
to set our hair or tidy up our sloppy clothes instead,
while the dedicated guide informed us of simple etiquette and the order of today’s banquet.
“Mr. Yandel!” “Oh
,
you’re dressed up like that, so everyone won’t recognize you?”
Raven and Abman, who had arrived about 10 minutes earlier, came to our waiting room.
They, too, were dressed differently than usual
. Raven in an authentic dress and Mr. Bear in a neat suit.
“Isn’t it a little awkward?”
Mr. Bear scratches his cheek with a shy expression.
He came dressed up with the help of his wife, but he said that he put on his energy and changed them here
. I wish there was one that was the right size, but…
“All tailcoats for guests are enchanted costumes.”
According to the guide, it seems that there are thousands of magical clothes that can be worn regardless of size
. Enchantment on.’
At first glance, it’s reasonable, but it’s an outrageous waste.
How many guests like us who don’t have banquet clothes can visit the royal palace.
“Then Raven, did you change
your clothes here too?
” …I see.”
Like a wizard belonging to the upper class, it seems that she had at least one set of formal clothes like this.
“Wow, that’s pretty. How do you like this?”
“Uh… well. Actually, I got it as a gift from Master before.”
“Oh really? Anyway, wearing that kind of clothes really makes me look like a fairy. Not those fairies, but old fairies from fairy tales.”
“Are you talking about fairies?”
“Ah, yes. That’s that.”
“Hmm, aren’t you kidding me for being short right now?”
“No, it can’t be! Is it really pretty?”
Mischa and Raven’s girl talk started before I knew it.
Bear and Einar stepped back and had another conversation.
“Hey, Yandel. Have you heard anything more about the reward? There is a level 4 essence that I have wanted for a long time, but
I was wondering if it would be possible.”
“Well, I haven’t heard anything about
it .
” Do you have anything?”
“Give me one too. I’m bored.”
As we sat side by side and munched on the beef jerky, the guide who had left for a while returned.
“They say they are all ready to enter. Come on, let’s go.”
The hallway outside the waiting room filled with crowds.
The guides lined them up in an orderly manner.
For reference, our location was in the front center, with Melter Fend on the left and Uncle Kyle on the right.
“Ah, are you here?”
“That outfit suits you quite well.”
“Now, stand here.”
……It’s burdensome.
“Why am I in the middle?”
“Hehe, it’s better for someone else to stand Isn’t it strange? Everyone here is the one who followed you, only looking at your back.”
Umm…
I have nothing to say, but this man doesn’t tend to hit me too high.
So I was about to say something.
“I’m going to start . see Look ahead,”
said Kyle, staring straight ahead.
“Heroes are entering!”
Someone shouted and the door opened wide
.
Bouuuuuuuu
! ”
As I stepped through the door opened at Kyle’s prompting, numerous explorers followed.
Tremply.
The space beyond the door was a rectangular hall.
It was wide enough to accommodate thousands of people, and an empty throne room. There was a red carpet all the way to where I was.
I continued to walk along the carpet. I
was dying to walk without crutches, but I struggled for barbarian pride. I trudged.
As
I stepped forward, the knights drew their swords and saluted. The priests gave blessings while using their holy power.
Ah, the nobles applauded from afar.
The treatment was too disgraceful for an explorer a little over a year old to receive. It
didn’t feel particularly good.
Maybe that’s the case with the other guys as well. ‘This is
n’t a spectacle.’
Oh, is it a spectacle?
fault.
As soon as I stopped walking, the explorers who followed also stopped in line.
There was a difference from the orderliness of soldiers.
Since they have not learned the rituals, the clothes do not fit properly, and the clothes are in the middle of the day, so it gives a feeling of clutter.
But was that funny?
“Put.”
A nobleman could be heard laughing in the distance.
And it spread more and more.
At the same time, there was also the sound of something being crushed.
I
turned my head slightly and looked behind me to see an explorer clenching his fists.
It was the warrior who cleared the way in the cave with me.
Seriously, when you break the heads of monsters, there’s not much to see.
‘I’m less shy than I thought.’
Another side of the warriors that I didn’t know back then.
I don’t know why, but I didn’t like it.
Maybe that’s why, without even realizing it, cheers broke out.
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
A shout that echoes in the vast space.
It wasn’t intentional, but the afterword continued.
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
It was a cry from warriors addicted to our battle cries, including not many barbarians.
“These madmen even from the palace…”
Most of the explorers made a stunned expression or let out a breath as if they were not praying.
The nobles, on the other hand, were a little different.
Did you think this was a promised performance?
The aristocrats, who had been silenced for a moment as if surprised, applauded and whistled.
‘These are really funny cubs too.’
It’s kind of funny, but the atmosphere has improved.
A splendid royal palace, countless eyes from nobles who are hard to see, awkward tailcoats, and so on. The explorers who were uncomfortable with this place regained some composure.
‘If all cancers are brazen explorers, this is how it should be. How did he come back alive?’
As I looked at him with satisfaction, Kyle grinned from the side.
“I told you. Who else would stand in front of this if not you.”
Well maybe that’s right.
Who else would do something like this, if not a barbarian.
“Be quiet!
In such a heated atmosphere, the prime minister appeared.
***
Appears to be in his early 50’s.
A good impression with gray hair.
The chancellor, somehow reminiscent of the principal, stood in front of an empty throne and began his speech.
Let’s start with a light joke.
“Haha I’m sorry. I’m too late. Please, heroes, don’t be too angry. It’s not a very good day.”
The speech, which naturally led to the weather, was connected to the next topic as if flowing
water
. “They have done something that even the most famous clans, let alone the knights of the royal family, have not been able to do .
Perhaps without them, we would still not know what happened there.”
Reviving with Noark’s information.
Nominally, this was our merit.
Well, I can’t say openly that we give carrots to suppress the backlash of the explorers. ” Therefore
, I, Ageni Lawton Tercerion, on behalf of His Majesty the King, who is bedridden, praise the achievement!”
After the long speech, the chancellor organized the rewards according to the exploits of the explorers.
First of all, 10 million stones for all survivors. Is there going to be additional rewards according to the performance of the Emperor Karnon? By the way, we were the
first to announce the announcement…
“Come out, Melter Fend, the leader of Clan Nartel.”
“You made a great contribution to winning the battle by defeating Blue Mane, a criminal from the Blue Lang tribe in the battle in the Goblin
Forest
.
” will open You can choose one essence and one thing you want. I will also give you a bounty of 25 million stones.”
“Thank you.”
Melter Fend obtained a ticket to the treasure house containing a level 4 essence and equipment of equal value.
‘……My turn. Is it something we can look forward to?’ Actually, among the three of us, Melter is the lowest
in terms of
achievement. Looking at everything we were able to kill the wolf in the first place, it was possible because I knocked down the corpse collector
. “Sir Kyle Pevrosk, the iron mage, please come forward.”
” It
‘s been a while
, Prime Minister
.”
Suggesting a way for the expedition to survive, using
scalpel teleport to get Berzak out of the way,
and taking time and dealing damage to the Destructionist in the Goblin Forest battle.
“Studying forbidden magic a long time ago . You wanted permission to do it? As of today, you are the proud royal mage of the Lapdonia royal family.”
Thank you very much.”
Kyle was promoted to royal mage. It gave
him
the opportunity to learn and learn all kinds of magic to his heart’s content
. Is it because it is a completely different case from Melter
and Kyle ,
who
were famous from the beginning?
To be able to return to the bosom of the family.”
“To fight more courageously than anyone else on the most dangerous frontline and become an example.” ”
To be a bait so that the explorers can survive and buy time from Berzak.” ”
The Curse of the Otherworld .” It made a decisive contribution to the victory by driving the received soul, Abed Necrapeto.” It
seems like nothing happened when he said this. I
was thinking about that in my mind.
“This is not enough to express the hard work you have done. . But nonetheless, I commend you on behalf of the royal family!”
“…….”
“I will open the Golden Marriage Report to you. You can choose the essence or item you want, and I will give you a reward of 50 million stones. Also!” The
chancellor continued.
“I will grant you the title of Baron.”
…Huh?
