Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 120
Episode 120 〈 Irans’ Underground Labyrinth 〉
Orichalcon Grade.
For adventurers, it was like a dream and was also at the pinnacle of existence.
It is known that there are only about 20 people on the continent, and it was an honorable level that could only be held by those who had achieved achievements that were enough to save the country.
However, there is an adventurer who achieved that level in an unusual period of just one month.
“So, I told you so. “They are of noble blood from the Forgotten Realms!”
The adventurers said, making their mouths water.
In Elusha’s Adventurer’s Guild, the story of an adventurer named ‘Allen Lupus’ spread like a trend.
For them, Orichalcon was an object of admiration and was actually a hero who protected this territory.
“Elise is the princess, Allen Lupes is the guard, and Hans is the chamberlain!”
These rumors almost certainly spread.
It was a rumor I didn’t trust at first, but now I had no choice but to believe it.
It’s Big Eyes.
A demon that can trap a dragon in its stomach and slowly digest it before eating it.
He defeated such a demon and completely destroyed the giant necromancer force.
Is that it? I faced thousands of unknown undead hordes alone.
There were too many eyewitnesses from the lord’s throne room to dismiss it as a rumor.
Since such a hero could not fall from the sky, naturally, rumors spread that the royal family was going on an adventure to revive the fallen kingdom.
It was the imagination of an adventurer.
“Then what, we fought together with the royal family?”
“We fought together, but he solved it all by himself.”
“I heard there will be compensation, right? It will be huge, right?”
The adventurer’s guild was abuzz.
Due to the invasion of Big Eyes and the Monster Dead, the roof of the Adventurer’s Guild was blown off and one of the walls was collapsed, leaving it empty.
Repair work is also underway in various parts of Elusha Estate.
At that time, someone visited the adventurer’s guild.
I just took steps.
Still, everyone’s eyes were focused on his appearance and they froze.
The adventurers stood up quietly.
With a nervous face, he bowed his head towards the silver paladin and showed respect.
The silver paladin ignored the adventurers and stood tall in front of the information desk.
“Oh, are you here?”
The guide stiffened and stuttered.
I thought it would be better to deal with nobles.
“I came because I heard that the commission fee was paid.”
The receptionist broke into a cold sweat at the stiff tone of voice.
He rummaged under the shelves.
The amounts presented by the Kingdom of Airans were placed on the table.
The adventurers widened their eyes.
Leather bags filled with gold coins are piled up one after another.
“How much is that…?”
The receptionist gasped and piled up the remaining money. Then he spoke to Orichalcon adventurer Allen.
“This is the compensation given by the Kingdom of Airans.”
At the guide’s words, Allen reached out and grabbed the leather pouches.
Because there was an item window, there was no need to carry it separately.
The adventurers whispered again as the money bags piled up on the counter disappeared in an instant.
They thought it was magic because the money bag disappeared in an instant.
As the adventurers’ imaginations grew once again, another guest visited the adventurer’s guild.
It was Edolf, a high-level iron adventurer.
He was accompanied by knights and wizards dispatched from the royal family of Airans.
Edolf took a step and stood in front of Allen.
And kneel down.
The adventurers’ eyes widened.
It was natural for an Iron-level adventurer to be polite to an Orichalcon adventurer.
But there was another reason why the adventurers were surprised.
This is because the royal knights and wizards right behind him also knelt down.
It was also extremely cautious, like the courtesy shown to royalty.
“Edolph, a lowly adventurer, greets Allen.”
Edolf gently raised his head and looked at Allen.
The Airans royal family would like to invite Mr. Allen. Would you like to do this?”
At those words, Allen smiled inside his helmet.
**
I returned to the inn.
Outside, the guard sent by the royal family of Airans, along with Edolf, was waiting in line.
I watched that scene silently from the window and then turned my head. I made eye contact with Ellis Hans, who was in the room.
“An invitation came from the Ayrans royal family. If they invited you, you should respond. “Because I have business to do in the palace grounds in the first place.”
I took out a few money bags from the item window and placed them on the shelf.
“They say this is Big Eyes’ compensation. “There was no separate request, but it looks like the royal family paid compensation.”
Honestly, it’s money you don’t need.
Because he had the authority to move the funds of the Holy Empire. When it came to money, it was overflowing.
Above all, since Aslan even excavated the king’s tomb, he had no interest in money.
Even Hans, who was crazy about money, was unresponsive.
“Let me interpret it. We’ve been researching warp gates for generations of our damn blood. How on earth did these guys get this kind of technology?”
Hans glared at the runes with his eyes wide open.
He was interpreting the runes of the vampires’ warp gate Nemesis.
I looked at Ellis.
She was staring blankly at the money bag. I saw it:
“You can write whatever you want.”
“really?”
Ellis’s eyes widened, and she stretched out her hand to grab the money bag.
She smiled softly and said,
“The church that Director Evelyn was running just collapsed. It should be enough to cover the cost of building a new one.”
She has a good heart. Does this
mean she uses it for others rather than for herself?
In fact, she is the cardinal’s granddaughter.
Money would be meaningless to her.
Come to think of it, Yuria is there.
We need to slowly look at Yuria’s trends.
Growth rate Powers that can be used, etc.
Elise took the money bag and made a curious expression.
She looked at me and asked,
“But what if the royal family of Airans is inviting you?”
“I guess they’ll treat you as if you’re an Orichalcon adventurer. That’s either it or not.”
I said, looking at the royal guard outside the window.
“They invited me because they knew I was the prince.”
The Irans royal family sent an invitation. I plan to comply.
Irion, the capital of Irans.
Because there is the item I was looking for in the ‘basement’.
**
I took a carriage and headed to Irion, the capital of Irans.
A cool breeze blows through the open window.
As I looked outside, I saw a river connected to the sea. Like an island, a waterway surrounded the capital Irion.
Tall buildings form a camp.
There were many ships for trade and numerous carriages passing by.
Hans, who was in the carriage, rested his forehead and stretched out, probably because of motion sickness. Ellis asked me with a puzzled expression.
“The royal palace’s underground labyrinth?”
I nodded at Ellis’ words.
“Yeah, he’s asleep there. “The Noble Phantasm of Ordin, the first Holy Emperor, that Brother Rupel mentioned.”
Cardinal Michael, the head of the Order of Caolum, discovered traces of the Holy Ordin while researching Aztalun. It seems that Ruppel obtained the corresponding information by chance.
Rupel believed in the Chaolium Church and based on the traces, he found out where the Noble Phantasm was buried.
And that place is the underground labyrinth of the Kingdom of Airans.
It was ‘Taitalos’.
“Is there such a thing in the Magic Palace?”
“They say it’s hidden from the Ayrans royal family, but underneath it is a labyrinth made up of all kinds of mazes.”
It was also a place where a new type of ecosystem existed through magical processes.
Even the Airans royal family kept it secret, so information was quite limited.
“Actually, I chose the adventurer profession to get there smoothly. Well, there was an intention to make the Airans royal family notice.”
“Does it have something to do with adventurers?”
Ellis tilted his head.
I guess she doesn’t understand.
Why do you need the identity of an adventurer rather than a prince to enter the labyrinth?
“Of course, I can make a request as a prince.”
But these were sensitive times.
“The neighboring country of Rom is in an uproar because of vampires. Of course, Airans will have no choice but to be cautious. Especially what if the prince of the Holy Empire, who is at loggerheads with vampires, comes here?”
It will show reluctance.
To be exact, I would be scared.
“As the prince of the Holy Empire, I am in a diplomatic position. But now, I am an adventurer belonging to Airance. Do you know what I mean?”
Ellis, who was thinking deeply, opened her mouth.
“Are you saying there is no need to consider diplomatic positions?”
“that’s right. It’s an ambiguous case for them. The prince came in ‘intentionally with a false identity.’ What that means is that you can decide whether to treat me as a ‘prince’ or an ‘adventurer’. And what if I call myself an adventurer?”
“You want to treat me like an adventurer?”
I nodded.
The prince is not someone who can be moved easily.
The way you speak and the way you act are directly related to a country’s diplomacy.
The kingdom of Irans was a former ally, but is now in conflict due to a battle of pride over faith and magic. Therefore, it was difficult to access it easily.
If you were to suggest here, ‘I want to enter the labyrinth.’
It was obvious that the other party would respond by saying, ‘Then we have conditions too.’
“Not only that, the prince who is at the center of the incident is here. Airans will also become anxious. There will also be suspicions that there may be a vampire in his palace. That is probably why he is being invited.”
Ellis nodded in agreement.
“I don’t want to be indebted to the Holy Emperor, but at the same time, I am afraid that there might be a vampire. If it were me, I would ask for a request as an adventurer…”
This is the correct answer.
This is why I deliberately chose a name that was easy to get caught and did not control my power.
The child noticed. I was hoping that the Rance royal family would invite me to the palace.
However, something unexpected happened when I dealt with the necromancers.
For this, the Irance royal family owes me a great deal.
I more than met the conditions to enter the labyrinth.
Let’s chat. While floating, I arrived at Irion, the capital of Airans.
A river flowed within the city and I saw tourists riding boats on it.
I also enjoyed the surrounding sights.
“I have arrived.”
The royal knight opened the carriage door with courtesy and carefully said,
“I will show you around, Mr. Allen Rupes.”
It was confirmed by the title given by the royal knight.
The other person’s position is that they see me as an ‘adventurer.’
Me and Ellis Hans walked through the spacious palace under the guidance of the royal knight.
There are all kinds of statues scattered around.
There are more wizards than knights. He walked around the palace, standing out.
“Here we come. Please come in.”
The royal knight opened the throne room doors from left and right.
A colorful carpet is spread out, and nobles and wizards can be seen to the left and right.
It was obvious that they were very nervous.
As I walked through the center, I glanced at the nobles.
Some of the nobles who made eye contact were startled and quickly bowed their heads in greeting.
The other nobles just frowned.
‘Are there only a few people who know me?’
I turned my gaze and looked at the royal throne.
There is an old woman there.
She was sitting on a throne, wearing a rich skirt, and holding a crystal staff in her hand.
I stood tall, and Ellis and Hans knelt and bowed their heads as a courtesy.
“…what?”
“what are you doing.”
“Such a lowly…!”
The nobles protest when I, an adventurer, do not kneel.
The wizards dissuaded them.
I looked at the old woman on the throne.
[Rox Airans.
Age: 82
Characteristics: Weak body Superhuman mana Vast knowledge Magical genius. neutral tendency.
+ Is Kelt still in good health?]
…Is Queen Irans worried about her grandfather?
Maybe the two are related.
Queen Rox, the owner of Airans, looked at me and said.
“Welcome, Allen Rupes. “Orichalcon’s adventurer.”
Queen Rox stood up from her throne and strode towards me.
Grab the hem of the rich skirt and lift it lightly.
With a graceful gesture, she bowed her head.
“Rox Airans. “She is the queen of this country.”
I smiled bitterly at Queen Rox’s words.
As a queen, it is not easy to bow down in front of high-ranking nobles and wizards.
I took off my helmet.
He put his hand on his chest and bowed down to answer.
“This is Allen Rupes. “It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty.”
Queen Rox smiled softly.
She stretched out her hand.
I paused, but the queen caressed my face.
“You look like him.”
“…”
Queen Rox said, withdrawing her lingering touch.
“There is a different reason why I called you. It may be a rude request, but as an adventurer, I would like to request it. Will you take it?”
I asked, looking at the queen smiling leisurely.
“What kind of request is this?”
“This is where the major nobles of Airans gather. And what to request.”
Queen Rox said, gently closing her eyes.
“We are hunting down vampires.”
The royal family is in turmoil.
While the nobles were muttering and perplexed, the royal knights and wizards stopped them.
It must be embarrassing for them.
“If you accept, I will reward you accordingly. Either as an adventurer or… as another identity.”
Queen Rox slowly opened her eyes.
She said with a sharp look in her eyes.
“Will you accept it? Hero of Elusha.”
