Chapter 1191 – Earth’s End
Portrait giant.
It was the name he heard after passing the trials of Yuna, the Four Heavenly Kings, and Bonar, the Ryunar of Boyd.
Boyd’s Ryunar said that if Hest failed the trial, a supergiant would trample the world.
Other than that, a lot of information came to mind.
Especially. A very creepy ‘guess’ too.
…Maybe not?
I glanced away and saw Kitz.
Of course, I had already explained to Kaitsu about the super-giants. His eyes also changed.
Prince Dolia smiled more relaxedly, probably noticing our interest.
“Huh. Do you know about the Paranormal Giant?”
Katz replied.
“…I’ve heard of the ‘legendary giant’ passed down through the royal family.”
“A legendary giant?”
I blinked at the story I had heard for the first time, and Kaiwegan, the explainer, began to speak.
“With the barrier, the first Pryunar and the first Hest. And a dwarf made it together. It is said that the skin was as hard as steel, the eyes were sparking, and it wielded a huge sword.”
Its strength was said to have shattered mountains and skies.
Well, so far. Having seen so many sky-slicing monsters, I didn’t really feel much of the analogy.
But the next words surprised me too.
“There was a story that it was a powerful weapon comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings.”
“Oh yeah…”
If it’s the Four Heavenly Kings, you mean Yuna, right?
To be honest, I’m confident that if I ask Yuna to go head-to-head, I’ll be brushed off like a dog.
Even if he attacked at the same time as Kitz, he would probably be robbed.
However. On the same level as the Four Heavenly Kings?
“It’s just a legend… But.”
Kitz gave a suspicious look.
The prince smiled bitterly.
“I also thought it was a legend until now. Until I found the data of the old documents hidden in the royal family.”
“Hidden material…”
Kaitsu muttered, then stared at the prince.
“It’s not the body, it’s the blueprint. Is it?”
“Yes. There is no explanation as to what happened to the legendary giant body. Even in the literature I read, there was no record of his actions after the fight with the Four Heavenly Kings.”
Perhaps the main body was destroyed in a fierce battle and only the blueprints remained, but the prince said that it might not have been possible to build it alone after Fryunar left for his hometown.
“Where are the blueprints?”
“Before that. Please make a promise.”
“Are you talking about putting pressure on Hest?”
Katz made a puzzled face.
“Even if the prince is telling the truth, there is no way to know if the information is genuine. It is burdensome to press Hest for information that is unclear.”
“…I heard that you are right.”
The prince is great too.
It’s embarrassing, but to think of a compromise right away after understanding it.
Katz groaned, then she bowed her head to me.
I thought for a moment about whether I should stroke the back of the head and say, “Oh, you’re doing well, son.”
“Sorry, Dre. We have to show our hand.”
I don’t know what bullshit it is, but I pretended to be very surprised.
“No. Are you going to say that?”
Kya Even when I think about it, the expression and the tone. It was all natural acting.
[…I hate to admit it, but it really is.]
Whoops.
It’s an acting ability that even the old dragon acknowledges.
[Like a man who casually walks on octopus feet, his acting skills are no joke.]
…Oh no!
After all, Mei-Chi is the only one for me!
While arguing with his soul friend, Kitz opened his mouth. No. The moment I tried to open it, the prince chuckled first.
Haha. As expected, you all have a hidden purpose!”
“Did you guess?”
“Of course, hero! It is a very famous story even in the Holy Land that Hest rebelled against the heir and most of the elders and officers had their own Ryunar sealed.”
At the end of the sentence, the prince looked at me with eyes full of respect. This gentleman. I think there must have been a lot of things piled up in Hest.
“The one with the ability to seal the native Ryunar even in a distant land is the Sword of Flame.
Uh. Did you?
I didn’t know because I left the paperwork to Kitz’s side.
“That can’t be the case. There’s no way people with that kind of ability and a great dream to destroy demons would waste their time.”
I don’t know about Kitz, but when I have a lot of time, I tend to write very carelessly.
“I thought that there must have been a different purpose in visiting the Holy Land.”
“I see. The prince’s eyes couldn’t be fooled.”
Katz smiled bitterly and said.
“Our goal is simple: to find and destroy the stinking earth’s core.”
The prince was hard as a stone.
He is perplexed as if he heard something he never imagined.
“…The stinky…Land? Is that, at this point, possible?”
Kitz suddenly looked at me and she smiled.
And then tak. She said and patted me on the shoulder.
“I thought it was premature, so I didn’t tell the world yet, but I’d like to say a special word only to the prince who showed his powerful hand without hesitation. A while ago, the dangerous area that the Holy Land of Wind was sealing. The Dark Forest disappeared. Here’s what I did in eight days. “
Prince Dolia’s eyes widened.
This time, even her body was shaking.
“Is that really?”
“We do not lie.”
The hero, who had lied a lot in his previous life, spoke confidently.
By the way, it’s not like I did it, it’s different from the first Winte… No. Since I broke the core of the Dark Forest, is that correct?
“Huh…! It’s smaller than the stinky land, but it purifies the Dark Forest, which is said to have a much higher density of demons…? Really…”
There was a new feeling in Prince Dolia’s eyes as she looked at me.
That. Avarice.
“You’re the kind of person who can’t figure out where the limits are.”
“Um… Thank you.”
I had nothing to say, so I just hung my head.
Your eyes are creepy…
“In other words, Daraj, the only kingdom at the edge of the earth, will be free from its sacred duties in the near future and will be able to afford it. Even if the forces left behind by the first Hest were defending the Holy Land, the efforts of the Dwarves to maintain it will be very great. It was great.”
If we succeed in destroying the nukes, we will be able to put the personnel who were blocking the land of stench into other missions. Then, Katz said, the prince could take that manpower and join the war.
But the prince immediately shook his head.
“Nevertheless, pressure on Hest is necessary. It does not change that they are indispensable to our dwarves’ strength. Also…”
Prince Dolia looked at me with her tail tucked in, then finally spoke.
“Because they have the blueprints for a paranormal giant.”
Kaitsu and I opened our eyes wide.
Hest has the blueprints for the Paranormal Giant?
It can’t be.
If there’s anything I hide from me, it’s the system I have. ‘Teen Family Management’ will warn you.
Is this the prince misunderstood or lying?
I stared into the prince’s eyes.
At least this man isn’t lying to me.
…No. Perhaps. Doesn’t the Hest family also know that they have the blueprint?
10,000 years is a long time, so it wouldn’t be strange if I forgot about it during that time.
Katz said after being silent.
“The prince’s proposal. Can I think about it a little more?”
“Ah. Of course, I’m not going to say anything shameless about asking you to fix important things right away.”
Said the prince, bowing politely and gracefully.
“Please enjoy our holy ground and decide at your leisure.”
“Why but?”
“Huh?”
As I was going down the stairs drilled in the bottom of the castle wall, Kitz looked back at me and asked.
I’m below me In other words, he was staring at the barrier.
How to say this barrier. Something feels off…
“Nothing.”
It was a feeling of incongruity that I couldn’t pinpoint, so I kept my mouth shut for now.
We soon arrived at the first floor and boarded a wagon that was smaller in size than Dudu-ri had brought, but much more luxurious.
As if it were natural, the carriage was enchanted to expand the space.
It’s said to be a prince-only carriage, kya. It’s good to have real power.
“Please enjoy yourself.”
“Thank you for caring me.”
Prince Dolia, who told me to relax and enjoy myself, stayed next to me and stared at me.
…
…And. I’m embarrassed to sleep.
…This person. Is it that one?
This is the first time this has happened. Can I firmly refuse?
The prince kept staring at me, and now I’m about to break out in a cold sweat. He opened his mouth
“Are you two going to Hest?”
“Huh? Mr. Grant said earlier that he had to see His Majesty first?”
The prince grinned.
“In normal cases, meeting the Titans is the natural procedure, but this case is special. The next Fryunar is here, but how can the Darraji royal family, who started serving ten heroes, force you to come first?”
“Haha. Thank you for your words.”
“Where shall we go first?” He said, “Do as you please.” When the answer came back, he cursed with his eyes, saying, “It’s rough because the fucker is asking for it.”
[It feels bad to communicate through eyes.]
…Come to think of it, is that so?
Now I have to restrain myself
“Let’s go first to Hestro.”
Rald, who said he left first, must be waiting for me anxiously. I wanted to meet the family head and check on the portrait giant.
Shaaaaa.
The carriage was faster than expected.
That’s even faster than a modern car.
But I’d rather not believe in the speed of a wagon than the holy place. My eyes were taken by the sight of the city.
In the cutting-edge city that seems to have embodied the modern future where I lived, buses and subways pass by as if it were natural.
Also. Each house has its own characteristics, such as the shape of a mushroom-shaped pot, so it is delicious to see.
In the distance a dark cloud rose, the prince said it was an industrial district.
The dwarves’ sanctuary is a living area where they eat and sleep. Industrial district of manufacturing operations. And it is said that it is divided into ‘commercial districts’ where people enjoy leisure life or trade.
Coincidentally, we were passing through the commercial district. In contrast to all kinds of goods that were exchanged in the fake holy ground we saw earlier, materials such as minerals and metals were the main trade items here.
Most of the Dwarven merchants were not soliciting customers, but were focusing on their own work.
It was not uncommon to see Dwarves making something in any district.
But. There is one peculiar thing.
I kept feeling Ryunar in abundance in the city, but it seemed that there was some kind of special technology in this city.
If you listen carefully, you can feel Ryunar when the dwarf shouts something El.
I’ll check later.
Whoops!
A deafening roar.
Looking up, dwarves with jet-like objects on their backs were flying around in the sky.
Also. On the road, Dwarves with boosters on their feet were running to and fro.
And. Are there different levels of skill?
I can’t tell if I’m in a fantasy world or a future science world.
Reinforced suit. It’s the coolest thing I’ve seen here.
However, there was a scene that reminded me that this place is also a fantasy world. It was around the time the wagon entered ‘Area 1’.
District 1, where the royal family stayed, was located on a higher ground than other districts, but there was no way to go up there.
However, the moment the wagon passed the paved road and entered the path of a mineral that would rise to a dazzling name.
Woo woo woo woo-!!
The earth trembled like mad.
By the time you think it might have been an earthquake, boo-woo! I felt floating.
“What…”
I opened the carriage door.
We were placed on a giant ‘palm’.
Oh oh oh!
When I turned my head, a huge golem was carrying a wagon on the palm of my hand and pulling it up to Area 1…!
For safety, the palm is surrounded by a protective film.
This is an enormously increased scale of the golem elevator that I saw at Prunar Academy. Thanks to the enormously large golem and the growing surroundings, I involuntarily exclaimed.
“Wow-!!”
Haha. You seem to be satisfied!”
Prince, of course. Duduri and Grant also looked satisfied.
It wasn’t just me, but the rest of the party, except for the Hero party, were very excited.
“It’s too early to be surprised. District 1 has a lot more amazing things. Districts 2 and 3 also have a lot to enjoy.”
“I’m looking forward to it!!”
Really looking forward to it.
Almiraj poked at my cheek, excited like a child.
“Why?”
“It’s cute~ Instructor.”
“…”
Embarrassed, I closed my mouth and stared at the ground. Then he discovered the dwarves on the ground.
They looked up this way and bowed their heads to me.
Do you know who I am…?
Just then, the prince explained.
“The only ones who can climb to Area 1 are those of the royal family or those of Hest, so we must show respect unconditionally. Haha.
It pops up again
I only had an embarrassing smile.
Eventually, the golem stopped, and we stood in front of the gate of the wall guarding District 1.
A majestic castle gate just by looking at it.
But… There are a lot of people in front of the castle gate?
2, 30 each. The two groups stood facing each other across the city gate.
It didn’t look like a guard.
The prince made a puzzled face.
“…A chancellor?”
Prime Minister?
The end of the prince’s gaze. I saw a dwarf with a nice mustache.
The dwarf standing next to him seemed to be confronting him, and the image of a ‘shaman’ wrapped around his body with strange trinkets came to mind.
But, the crest on the chest of that shaman dwarf…
“Hest?”
As soon as I finished my words, two representatives approached me.
When I glanced at the prince, his eyes were very ferocious. Perhaps he felt my gaze, and when he looked at me, he lowered his head and became embarrassed.
Chuck. Chuck.
Two representatives came to us. The chancellor opened his mouth first.
“Thank you for your hard work, Prince. From now on, I will serve the true warrior and the sword of mad flame.”
The shaman threw a word at the chancellor’s smiling face.
“Hmph. What are you talking about? You two came to Hest with business.”
The chancellor hardened her face coldly.
“Princess are bound to meet the Titans first. Is she challenging His Majesty’s authority now?”
“Challenge? It’s absurd. Are you blaming Hest for serving our lord?”
At that moment, the prince intervened.
“The true warrior and mad flames said they would start with Hest.”
Chancellor Oh, is that so? I wanted to step back, then smiled at me.
“Haha. Mad Flame. How about going to the palace first and having an audience with His Majesty? I’ll invite the people of Hest to the palace too, so it’ll save a lot of time that way.”
“What? By what right does the palace call us?
“…”
I was scratching my head.
Umm… I see.
Hest and the royal family. The relationship is fucking bad.
“What?
“Let’s listen, let’s listen? Ha. What are you going to do?”
Not just the two, but those who followed them. All those who sowed unusual prayers exuded powerful energy.
The chancellor and the great sorcerer seemed about to collide at any moment.
No. In fact, the chancellor and the dwarf were emitting their own Ryunar and colliding with each other.
If you were there, come. There are many crazy people in the Holy Land. Would have said
Kwajik. Kujik.
But. This hard energy stabbing my body right now.
These two representatives. And those who followed them were doing unreasonable ‘threats’ to force us to follow us with their energy.
The chancellor and the great sorcerer even wiggled their fingers as if asking me to follow them, with faces asking what to do if he didn’t follow our words.
So I.
Kwaak-!!
I grabbed the two dwarves by the neck.
“Ouch!”
“Cheer, heck!”
Kwadeudeuk. I asked indifferently, tightening my grip as if I would break my neck.
“What are you guys doing now?”
