Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 173

Chapter 173 I put the key to Count Belstein’s secret space

into the treasure bag and looked at the letter.

The blood smudged the writing, but not enough to completely mash the words.

elegant style. colorful sign.

I nodded.

“I can’t read at all.”

“Yes.”

what why How do I know the language of this world?

These people probably don’t even know Korean.

As expected, authority is the answer in this case.

I focused on my eyes.

“The Occult Heretic Inquisitor?”

I was able to figure out what was going on right away.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, but if I had to summarize it in three lines, this would be it.

The Count was obsessed with the occult and bought all sorts of spells and enchanted items.

Some of them are very dangerous and evil.

The Heretic Inquisitor is on his way, so dispose of the items you gathered quickly.

“Looking at the results, it looks like they all died before they could be disposed of.”

The castle walls with traces of being attacked all over prove it.

The old castle visible over the wall also has burnt marks.

It says heretic inquisitor, but it seems that there was a battle close to a war.

If it’s natural, it’s natural.

Here’s the key to the room where I’ve stored my stuff. How can I dispose of it?

Since the letter didn’t even reach them, they probably didn’t even know that the Heretic Questioner was coming.

“On the other hand, there are no corpses of monsters everywhere.”

The only remains left outside the castle were in the wagon.

Why only these people?

It’s a really strange combination.

It’s certain that the Heretic Inquisitor came in.

You can assume that the body was removed by the people there.

I thought for a while.

“There is an order. This guy arrived late, after everything was done.”

Attack of the Heretic Inquisitor. They erased the traces of the battle and left, after which the monsters attacked.

After everything has already been done, the person with the letter and the key arrives here. After that, I got upset.

If you think so, the front and back are correct.

[Reasonable reasoning!]

[I recognized the background of the 42nd floor.]

[5000 points will be paid.]

Look.

Even the system says I’m right.

That’s how it is.

“If it’s the background of one floor, there’s a reason for that.”

It was not enough to simply say that the count family had disappeared from the Heretic Inquisitor.

At least that’s where I’ve been through so far.

The 15th floor, where the rulers of the 19th floor and the rulers of the 29th floor were intertwined, and where the villagers were buried alive.

The 25th floor of the traces of those who tried to avoid destruction by becoming frozen humans.

The 39th floor showed the results of the 4th Demon Realm’s unification war.

There were many layers that seemed to have no background, but there was something in every place with a background.

I guess that’s the case here too.

“Couldn’t that evil thing still be there?”

Other than that, I can’t think of anything else.

The key is right here.

It may be that the heretic inquisitor did something to find an evil object.

Anything to check.

First of all, finish what you were doing first.

I haven’t looked around all the fields outside the castle yet.

There may be other clues, so let’s look around.

* * *

As a result, there was nothing special about the field outside the castle.

Maybe it was because the manor was there, so there were no special plants or hidden items in the forest.

However, that did not mean that it was completely unsuccessful.

“It’s a dog hole.”

north of the wall. I found a hole that only one person could pass through.

A place secretly hidden by rocks.

If the luck stat didn’t react, it was natural enough to be inadvertently overlooked.

Aren’t you award winning? It looks like it was made to secretly come and go outside the castle.

It is possible to jump over a castle wall enough, but if there is such a thing, the human psychology is to want to use this side.

It’s bulky because he’s wearing armor, but he seems to be able to get through if he pushes it somehow.

“Ahhhh.”

Deokchun takes the lead first.

It’s small in size, so you can move around comfortably.

If there is any danger, we can warn you in advance.

[Night Vision (E) Lv. 7]

When I went inside, the passage was quite deep.

If it was a castle wall, it would have been enough to pass through it a long time ago, but you can keep moving forward.

The slope is also subtle.

It seems to be facing the front, but at some point it continues downward.

It is certainly.

It is true that this aisle was created artificially.

Contrary to the exterior, the trimmed inside.

There was no lighting, but the air circulation was good and there was no stagnant smell.

“Gee heck.”

“What do you have?”

Deokchun, who was walking in front, points to one side.

A crystal the size of the palm of your hand. There are patterns drawn on it.

complex formula. Signs of unknown meaning are intertwined in a mess.

Is it a magic circle or a pattern that proves which group?

maybe you don’t know Maybe it’s a trap.

Didn’t he experience the extinction magic circle in the labyrinth before?

I read the information while preparing to escape with fog speed if necessary.

[Crystal that looks like something]

-That’s cool!

– That’s all.

“I don’t know what Count Belstein is, but I guess it’s true that he’s a stranger to magic.”

I put a meaningless pattern on it to make it look very important.

It must have been an armpit.

A swindler comes to you. This is an ancient magic circle, imbued with mystical power, and if you say anything, that’s good! I must have bought it.

He said he was obsessed with the occult, so he goes into details in useless places.

thanks i know one

It was made by Count Tonglong himself.

That means that there is a high possibility that it is connected to the secret room or whatever.

-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The atmosphere changes little by little starting from the crystal.

I faintly feel the wind.

It seems to smell like incense.

the problem is.

“To that.”

“Does it seem like a dead end?”

The passage that seemed to continue was blocked.

I can’t even guess where this is.

Not only do you not know the size and structure of the castle, but even if you do, you will lose your sense of direction as you move through the winding passageways.

I swept the aisle floor.

Smoothly processed tiles.

It has a bit of dust, but it is of good quality.

Should I say that the finish has improved since the crystal I saw earlier?

I paid attention to the sparsely visible moss and small insects.

These guys are alive because they have something to eat and the environment is ready.

Even bugs don’t live where there’s really nothing.

Is there somewhere to roam in search of food?

I followed the bugs carefully.

-It

was confirmed that the bugs disappeared through the fine cracks.

He stretched out his arms and patted them around.

– Tuk-tuk

– Tung

-tung?

Subtly different sound.

again at regular intervals.

– Tuk tuk tuk

– Tung

here.

– Kwajik!

Without hesitation, he thrust his fist into it.

Smashed and scattered debris.

oh my fingertips are cool

-bang! Quaang!

knocked on the wall in succession.

Then crispy!

There is a hole in the wall and the hand goes through it.

There is space!

“Deok Chun.”

“Gweek!”

Deokchun slips through the hole.

It’s like a clever frog.

I immediately read my will and set out to confirm it.

Did I arrive right? Or is there a trap lurking?

I want to check with authority, but there is no response.

The performance is certain as it has risen to the SS level, but it does not give a complete answer.

It’s just easier to attack, but I have to do some parts on my own.

I guess it’s been 10 minutes since I waited.

“That’s right.”

Deokchun comes back and holds out his hand.

I think you need to hand over the key.

Give him the key from the wagon and he goes back inside.

-Kurrureureung

“Aww!”

The floor of the aisle I was in opens.

If I was an ordinary person, I would have fallen, but I am a superhuman.

I crouched down, balanced, and landed safely.

Passageway overhead.

A door about 40 centimeters thick is open.

That’s enough to withstand any kind of attack.

This is why there is no response even when beaten.

The place Deokchun passed through was a passage made for ventilation.

[You have entered Count Belstein’s secret space.]

The message comes to mind.

Appears to have arrived properly.

“Oh what is all this?”

I admired a little.

If you were at the level of a count, the class you collected was different.

Starting with a bizarre stone statue, a crystal that emits a mysterious light.

A pile of parchment with a picture that looks like a devil and a pile of papers with unknown mathematical formulas.

There was a wooden desk and a half-melted candlestick on the geometrically patterned carpet.

Very suspicious at the same time.

“It’s a bit like a second grader.”

“On him?”

Deokchun tilts his head.

There is such a thing, child.

It’s a very terrible disease.

My peers didn’t have time to go through it either.

It’s because I’m a sophomore, I’m nabal, and the real world has changed into a fantasy.

It was closer to hell than fantasy.

“Mostly things that don’t seem to mean much. Oh oh! Isn’t that cool?”

Armor decorated on the wall side. It’s a design you would only see in a game.

It doesn’t look practical, but the lack of lines is 100 times better than my fall line set.

Of course, mine is also sophisticated, but the color of this guy is a problem.

“The scale is too big.”

This is bigger than the treasure chest I saw in the labyrinth before.

Although there are no treasures here.

instead.

[Color bird’s eyeballs]

-Why do you keep the eyeballs?

-Feathers and beaks would be much more valuable.

-Used as an ingredient for corruption potion.

[Kraken’s Tooth]

-Ancient monster’s powerful tooth

-It boasts tremendous strength.

[Fairy Wings]

– Lost mystical powers, but beautiful.

-Used as a hallucinogenic ingredient.

There were all sorts of weird things that could be used as ingredients.

Is that all?

Various ores and gemstones.

There are also dried herbs and plant roots in flower anti-rot medicines, and so on.

Items that would have been used by witches in fairy tales.

These are things that can actually be used.

in short.

“Material warehouse.”

At least that’s how it seemed to me.

The Count himself seems to have bought it because he seemed to have it, but not to me.

– Ingredients for Buff Potion

– Ingredients for Lesser Stealth Potion

– Ingredients for Smell Numbness Potion

Information visible through authority.

materials gathered in one place.

You can see the potion crafting recipe.

You don’t usually get a chance to see something like this.

This is lucky.

I thought I needed to level up my potion making skill.

When the corner of his mouth went up.

– thump thump

A noise came from the corner of the secret room.

A pipe about 2 meters long.

I feel divine power.

Dark-colored metal tube.

Five stakes containing divine power pierce the coffin.

It looks pretty old with the worn edges.

-Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrin

_

A groan is heard inside the coffin.

A gloomy aura felt at the same time.

[The coffin that sealed the demi-demon]

-The culprit behind the downfall of Count Belstein.

-The Heretic Inquisitor destroyed the castle in search of the coffin, but was unable to find it.

– The demi-demon is asleep.

– The seal has weakened.

– It looks like the seal will be released soon.

[You will be given a choice.]

[Ignore it and run away.]

[Rearrange the holy relic to strengthen the seal.]
