Chapter 282 – Ep.281 Goldias Kingdom
I blinked several times to see if I had made a mistake and checked the paper the boy had spread out on the table.
-Sex.
No matter how many times I rewatch it, it’s sex. It’s not that I became a sex musae, but the word “Sex” Was written in very clear Korean on a piece of paper.
“This is an ancient language.”
“Ancient times?”
No, it’s Korean.
When Shio Lin spoke as if he knew something about her, the boy raised his head, his eyes shining excessively.
“What is an ancient language?”
“It’s a script said to have been used by the father of the first emperor, the founding king of the Kingdom of Tullius and the founder of the empire.”
“The emperor’s father?”
That sounds like my father-in-law.
“It exists hundreds of years ago.”
“Wow… “Can you please tell me more?”
I also slowly raised my head and looked at Shiorin.
A record of my father-in-law’s activities during his active years. This is very valuable information.
“I would like to tell you more, but I don’t know anything. “Kid.”
“To… Is that so.”
The boy lowered his head with an overtly sad expression. This bastard. It’s clear that he knows how to charm women.
However, Ms. Shio Lin looked calmly at the boy’s face and shrugged her shoulders.
Also a wizard. It is very clear that it is a break and a tie.
“Mr. Smith. “Can you stop getting up?”
Nyaho, who had been interested in paper like me at first, gently tugged on my arm with a similar annoyed expression as Shiorin.
Since I was full and the boy didn’t seem to know anything else, I nodded and got up. When I got up, the boy sitting next to me immediately got down from his chair and moved out of the way.
Nyaho asked the boy while lightly hugging my arm.
“Is the room ready?”
“Yes!! Please wait for a moment. “I’ll bring you the keys right away!!”
The boy ran somewhere again. And he returned with two new yellow keys in his hands. The boy said, handing over the key in his hand to Nyaho.
“The best room! You can use the room on the top floor!! There are only two rooms. If you need anything, please come down at least early in the morning and let me know!!”
“Okay. “I will.”
We headed to the guest room, greeted by a boy who bowed at a right angle.
Sweet.
When I put the key in and turned it, the door opened with the sound of the lock being unlocked.
A larger space than expected. A bed large enough for two people to lie down. A slightly worn-looking leather carpet with a small table and two chairs placed on it.
It was the ugliest place I’ve ever been to.
‘It doesn’t matter to me.’
I’ve been enjoying this luxury recently, but just a few months ago, I was sleeping on a hard, uncomfortable wooden bed in the guild.
By my standards, as long as there was a bed and a blanket, it was a great place to sleep.
Above all, we had a skilled wizard by our side who made even the poor luggage compartment a comfortable space. So there is no need to worry about the environment.
As soon as the skilled wizard entered the room, he held up a wooden staff and looked around.
“There is nothing particularly suspicious.”
“I say so. “Mr. West.”
Nyaho quickly jumped into my arms and started acting cute.
I stroked her hair with one hand and pulled down the mask on her face. I asked Mr. Shiorin while holding the pure white mask in my hand.
“You were there at the gate earlier. “Why did the driver tell you to wear a mask again?”
“I cast a simple illusion spell. “Pull down the mask slightly so that a hideous face appears, distorted and melted by fire!”
“Oh…”
“Lol. “I did well, right?”
“Well done.”
After answering sincerely, she sat down on the bed, hugging Nyaho.
“By the way, Mr. Shiorin.”
“Yes?”
“You know what you said below. “Do you really know nothing more?”
“The founder of the empire?”
“Yes. “The person who is the father of the progenitor.”
Ms. Shio Lin nodded her head and responded.
“There is data left, but unfortunately it is stored in places that ordinary people would never dream of.”
“Where is it?”
“The emperor’s remarks. “Master once told me that it is kept in a very special space that only the emperor of the empire can enter.”
“What about Bizelin?”
“Yes. But please don’t ask Master how he knows that. “I don’t know that either.”
“Okay.”
As I gently touched Nyaho’s waist and she nodded, Shio Lin tilted her head and asked.
“Are you interested in ancient languages?”
“… Little?”
“Then I can tell you.”
“No. It’s okay.”
“… ?”
When I immediately rejected her without even a single thought, she blankly blinked her eyes.
‘Because I can’t waste time learning what I already know.’
Mr. Shiorin, who had no way of knowing what was going on inside me, spoke to me with a sullen expression on his face.
“Even if you cry later, I will never tell you. Joy.”
If you look at that slut and even snort, it looks like he’s very upset. Of course, I have no intention of appeasing you.
I quietly asked Beneo, who was leaning against the door as if blocking it.
“How are you feeling? Im not tired?”
“Okay. “I don’t sleep that much, and I got some proper rest while switching shifts with the paladin.”
There was definitely no sign of fatigue on her face.
“If you have something to do, don’t worry about it and just say it.”
“Hmm… “There’s something that’s taking a bit of time.”
“Are you going to get caught?”
Nya Ho in her arms flicked her tail and raised her head slightly. I said, resting my chin on Nya Ho’s bangs.
“I wasn’t allowed to talk, so I was just sleeping and listening downstairs, but the guy sitting next to him was chatting. “It may not be important and I just didn’t say anything. They talked a lot about adventurers and the labyrinth, but they didn’t say a word about what happened to the adventurers who entered the labyrinth.”
“Now that I think about it, I see that.”
“Right? “There was no mention of who or what party got something or found another piece, and at least we heard a story about someone who died, went missing, or escaped in the middle of it.”
I thought about it one more time while explaining it to the three people, and it was definitely suspicious.
The atmosphere of this place was suspicious, and the boy sitting next to me was also suspicious.
We didn’t even ask about the labyrinth, but he himself brought up the story and took a gold coin from Nyaho.
Now that I have a lot of money, it feels like a gold coin is not a big deal, but in reality, a gold coin is not something that can be easily obtained. Especially if you are not the owner of the inn but rather an employee.
If I really didn’t have a plan, when I showed interest in the labyrinth, I would have seen it as an opportunity and organized everything I knew in a coherent way and told it about it.
How many adventurers entered the labyrinth?
Who got what there?
Also, several people failed to return and some parties ran away.
First, you can get an idea of roughly how many people you have to compete with.
Second, you can decide whether it is worth entering the labyrinth even by competing.
Thirdly, it is possible to roughly determine the risk of the labyrinth.
It’s not like I spent my time as a receptionist running errands for fucking idiots.
Anyway, to sum it up, the boy talked about things that were interesting enough to make him think it would be okay to go into the labyrinth at least once. However, it only said that many adventurers were drawn there and did not mention anything about what happened to them.
‘It definitely seems like something is there.’
The way he liked receiving the gold coin and his quick and quick movements. Plus, he has a knack for reading the atmosphere.
He was never an idiot to forget something. At least that’s how I saw it.
After gathering my thoughts, I spoke to Beneo.
“Beneo. I’m really sorry, but please find out more about the adventurers who entered the labyrinth. “It’s okay if you don’t look into the labyrinth itself.”
“Of course. “Is there anything else I can order?”
“I’m not asking you to do this, I’m asking you to do so. Ask. “I don’t have anything more to ask, and if you come back unscathed, I will ask you the same favor later.”
“… “I’ll be back by morning.”
“Please do me a favor.”
Beneo quietly turned and left the room without a sound.
I thought as I looked at the closed door.
‘It’s a labyrinth where traces of my father-in-law remain…’
It’s okay if you don’t have to check.
If there were hidden things that could be of help to me, wouldn’t you have mentioned them when you first connected with me about the Sith issue?
“…”
I thought about my father-in-law for a moment.
-Damn you son-in-law.
-I want to break my head.
―Because of you, my allowance for next month is gone…
-Be sure to train your body and come back.
Maybe he knew about it but didn’t tell me on purpose.
“Umm…”
“Why are you doing this? “Mr. West?”
“No. “I was just curious about where Nemea was and what she was doing.”
“What. “I guess they’re waiting for us to come out outside the gate.”
“Is it…”
I lay down on the bed, hugging Nyaho’s waist tightly.
‘When Nemea returns, I will ask her if it is okay to stop by the labyrinth.’
If not, maybe you should stop by on your way home from work.
“Hey. “Am I still there?”
“Oh, yes. “Let’s go back and sleep quickly.”
“… Are you really going?”
“No, whatever. “Why don’t you come up?”
Nyaho, who was very interested in Shio Lin’s butt, had her eyes sparkling.
“Big. Well, then please excuse me.”
She climbed onto her bed, taking off her coat.
Nyaho and Siorin. The two couldn’t let go of the blanket for a while.
**
The gateway commander’s office.
To fulfill Smith’s request, Beneo first moved to find the entry list. And in the desk drawer of the commander’s office, a document was found listing those who had entered and exited the gateway over the past two months, organized by date and time.
‘Smith’s suspicions were correct.’
Thick access list. There were no people classified as adventurers there. It was after checking the last page that her doubts turned into certainty.
The date on the last page of the list indicated today. And the names of her group, including herself, were not written on the list that pointed to today.
‘It’s going to be a mess from the start.’
They definitely said they would issue the permit tomorrow at noon. However, the name is not written on the list.
‘There is a high possibility that they will give you a forged permit and frame you as an illegal immigrant.’
Since there was nothing they could do right now, Beneo began searching her office to gather more information.
‘…’
It was a time when I was about to leave without finding anything to save other than the entry list. Beneo sensed a fast approaching figure as her steps were filled with urgency.
Quietly clearing her place, she retreated to a corner.
-Shit!!
An irritated voice coming from beyond the door.
The footsteps got closer and soon the door opened roughly and a slightly older middle-aged woman came into the office.
“Damn…”
The middle-aged woman cursed repeatedly and completely lifted her lowest drawer. She then turned over the drawer she had lifted and pushed it back in.
Dalkak-
The desk cover lifted up with the sound of a lock being released.
‘Like…’
Beneo admired the hidden tricks of the desk itself, rather than the contents inside the cover, and kept it in her mind so she wouldn’t forget it.
The middle-aged woman, unaware that someone was watching her, took out a small crystal ball from inside the cover.
Through her long experience, Beneo immediately recognized that it was a new type of communication sphere.
In fact, the middle-aged woman imbued the crystal ball she took out with her magic, and her small crystal ball began to sparkle, emitting a soft light.
-What’s going on? Sister Aulu.
As the light of the crystal ball became more intense, a young and gloomy woman’s voice came out of the small ball.
Middle-aged woman. The woman, presumed to be named Aulu, opened her mouth towards her crystal ball with the face of a beast, as if she had committed a great sin.
“… “The labyrinth has collapsed.”
-Sorry. Sister. What did you just say?
“Mine, the labyrinth… Collapse… “I lost.”
―… What is the cause?
The gloomy voice became even lower.
Middle-aged woman. Aulu pressed her lips with difficulty, her face turning pale as if she were completely frightened.
“Well, that…” I wasn’t there at the scene, so I don’t know the details…”
―Sister Aulu.
“Yes yes.”
―Do you want to mock me, sister?
“Oh, no! How can I respect the great man…”
―But did you report this to me without even finding out the cause?
“Well, that…” I don’t know the details, but according to a report from a soldier who was at the scene far away, it was said that the person in the pure white robe collapsed shortly after entering…”
‘…’
Beneo immediately recognized who the culprit was when he heard the identity of the culprit coming from the mouth of a middle-aged woman.
-What about the stone tablets with ancient language written on them?
“… Sorry.”
-Ah ah ah ah ah… !!
The sound of something breaking and breaking was constantly heard from beyond the crystal ball. Every time that happened, the middle-aged woman’s face went from blue to white.
A cracking sound was heard for a while, and at some point, the light from the crystal ball disappeared. There must have been a problem with the other party’s communication port.
‘It looks like it’s broken.’
Beneo watched the middle-aged woman, who had turned white and looked like her corpse, for a moment and then quietly left her room.
She walked down the dark hallway, gathering her thoughts.
‘I have a few questions… One thing is clear.’
A paladin wearing pure white robes.
The fanatic should never be left alone with Smith.
Beneo was convinced that she was a dangerous person who would have a more negative influence on Smith than anyone else.
