by adminHow can we hack this many people?
Still, it seems that the princess thought that it might be possible if it was the prince.
“Because you have such a persistent personality, I thought that might be the case.”
Gulp!
“Are you talking about the entire punitive force?”
“If you’re trying to find a way, you can do it. So everyone, be careful.”
“Yes, yes. Okay.”
“The prince is starting to take notice of this side.”
We didn’t even get to talk much.
If the prince was offended, it could have negative consequences not only for the princess but also for the soldiers he was talking to.
If he were the only one in trouble, that would be fine, but what about the poor soldier who can’t even fight back if the prince takes revenge?
We have no choice but to be careful on our side.
This consideration must have touched the soldiers, as they all looked deeply grateful.
“Can I not say hello to the prince?”
“If you do it, I’ll probably die of joy.”
When Princess Rasiel said, “I’m so happy I could die,” she probably didn’t mean it in a positive way.
Nowadays, greeting someone might feel like picking a fight.
I thought it would be right to just go for now.
“I want to see that guy’s crumpled face again, but I’ll have to hold back. It’s too sad to watch the soldiers’ faces.”
If Princess Canabi had been in good health, those soldiers would have been under her command.
“I think it would be better to hold back this time.”
“You have to scratch it while you can.”
Judging from the fact that he doesn’t do anything provocative towards the prince, even though he feels regretful, it seems like he has no intention of picking a fight.
“There will be another chance later.”
“Will they find the scraps we left behind?”
“Well, it won’t be easy to find it without Sister Melody.”
After we left, the device naturally returned to its original position.
I thought Sister Melody had destroyed the device so we could get in, but that wasn’t the case.
Over time, it naturally grew back, and when we came out, we were shocked to see that the wall had been rebuilt.
“Well, they don’t have priests like us. Hoot!”
Princess Rasiel placed her hand on my shoulder.
“Bringing Arthur was the best decision I ever made. Thank you for coming with me.”
At first, I was interested in the young and small girl who spoke in a unique way, but she seems to have grown up in a flash. It’s like my nonexistent niece showed up all grown up.
“I always hope that the princess’s future path will be filled with blessings.”
“I hope the potion I just got contains the answer. I did a good deed today, so won’t he be pleased? Of course, it wasn’t me who did it, it was the priest.”
* * *
The prince did not look back at our group as we passed by.
We left them behind, quiet as the calm before a storm, and continued on our way.
The back of my head was tingling, but I knew I had to hurry and find a way out.
“Phew, I feel better now that I’m out of sight.”
“Let’s leave it alone. It won’t look good anyway.”
“Come to think of it, if those people keep going down that road, we don’t know what will happen, right?”
“I heard the priest say something a while ago, that there was a high probability that there was a trap set by heretics.”
We don’t know what the outcome will be if we continue on our own path instead of going down the path made by the heretics in the middle.
So you’re saying things aren’t going to turn out so well?
“I’m worried that if we keep doing this, that prince will end up killing all the innocent lives.”
“The priest tried his best to heal me, but if I get hurt again… .”
When Prince Loras’s punitive force completely disappeared from sight, everyone began talking about their plight.
Then, I began to feel regretful that their arduous schedule was not over yet.
Of course, no one was willing to give me advice, only to worry.
If that were the case, I would have done it a long time ago.
Even if he heard such things, he would only feel uncomfortable, because the prince would not change his mind and he could not disobey orders.
“Let’s stop talking about other people and talk about ourselves. Leader, where are we going now?”
Anyway, soon the labyrinth terrain will change and a path leading outside will appear.
Until then, we had to continue to endure in the labyrinth, so we needed a next destination.
“First, I’ll leave the ice castle. There’s nothing to gain by staying here any longer.”
“Oh.”
Everyone seemed happy to hear the news.
“And I plan to make a suitable place for all of us to stay and rest until we leave. The princess has agreed to this.”
“Is it okay to rest around here?”
“We’ll have to go out and see, but it doesn’t seem like a good choice since there are a lot of people inside the castle. You know, we have a lot of luggage, right?”
What if you come out of the castle and there seems to be an unusual amount of luggage?
“Since there aren’t many people, those who don’t know anything might be greedy and want to try it out.”
“Oh, is it really that bad to look down on a small number of people? Rather, having a lot of luggage despite a small number of people means that you have good skills. You can figure that out with just a little thought.”
“Isn’t it because you can’t think that way that you commit crimes and live like that?”
Everyone walked along the street, talking with a much lighter heart, perhaps because there was no longer any reason to fight.
“Besides, our luggage is so bulky that even if we cover it, it won’t be completely covered. If we go down, won’t everyone be focused on it?”
“Oh my, just thinking about it makes my spine tingle.”
Because everyone had packed as much as they could, their packs were much heavier than when they first arrived, so if they were attacked, it would be fatal.
Fighting monsters was okay, but fighting people was completely different.
“If this is a huge hit on the 4th floor, there must be something even bigger on the 5th floor, right?”
“I think the 5th floor is the most dangerous. If the heretics have made a lair in this castle, doesn’t that mean they’ve already taken everything they could take?”
“Ouch!”
“If a new monster has settled in the castle for 300 years, wouldn’t there be much merit to it other than the fact that their bodies are expensive? The stuff we take will be more expensive than their bodies.”
It goes without saying that the equipment that has gone through all the processes is much more expensive than the actual cost.
While going back down the road I came from.
“Please stop for a moment!! There is a decision to be made here.”
The guide stopped us.
“You have to decide whether to go down the same staircase we’ve been down, or take a path we’ve never taken before.”
The place where we chose a different path from the prince has reappeared.
“Priest, don’t you feel anything right now?”
“Yes? Me?”
“Hey, you shouldn’t say that to someone who just exerted themselves so much that they have trouble walking.”
“Just in case… .”
“Unfortunately, there isn’t. I wish I could find an easy way.”
After achieving the original purpose.
The unknown intuition no longer responded.
I think he may have known that there was a holy relic and was urging them.
My intuition never kicked in again while the relic was in my hands.
“Going back up those stairs is like asking for death, so let’s just go the other way.”
“As long as it’s not on the way up to the 5th floor.”
“Going up to the 5th floor might actually make it easier to find your way. Aren’t there many paths that lead to the 5th floor? Instead of wandering around aimlessly, it might be easier to just go up to the 5th floor and find your way.”
It made sense.
“But the prince’s subjugation force that went to the 5th floor looks like this… .”
Since we had just come back, no team was happy to go up to the 5th floor.
Princess Rasiel said something that made her teammates even more worried.
“If it were the prince I know, he would have failed to conquer the 5th floor. If he had succeeded, he would not have come back.”
He said he came back to take a closer look, but I was sure that was just an excuse.
“If he had succeeded, he would have looked at me differently. He had no composure. He looked impatient and anxious. That’s why he fell for my provocation so easily.”
As much as she disliked Prince Loras, Princess Rasiel seemed to know a lot about him.
“Therefore, it seems dangerous to go up to the 5th floor, so let’s take a different route.”
After listening to Princess Rasiel’s words, the leader made a decision.
The road the prince and his party took and the road we came from.
And finally, among the remaining roads that lead to unknown destinations, I decided to choose the one with no destination.
“The traces are so colorful that there’s no need to look for them. If you go a little further, there are a lot of monster remains.”
It didn’t take long for the guide to find out which way the prince was headed.
The entire team moved forward, hoping that the mysterious path that no one had yet taken would eventually lead down.
* * *
“You’re so lucky.”
It was a great decision to take a different route than the one to the 5th floor.
We could tell that we had come down from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor.
“There are people nearby. They seem to be fighting.”
“Ignore and go down as fast as possible.”
“Yes.”
Once we left the 4th floor, where the terrain was not clearly known, and reached the 3rd floor, the guides were able to find their bearings much more quickly.
It was because there was a map to refer to, but also because there were so many people around that it was difficult to see the monsters.
Since you don’t necessarily have to prepare for monsters, there is no problem if you just walk quickly.
It took quite a while to get up to the fourth floor, but it only took a few hours to get down.
As soon as I arrived at the first floor lobby, I felt at ease, as if I had returned home after a long trip.
“At first, I definitely felt like this place was pretty, but now I feel like it’s just pretty trash.”
I think I’m getting sick of ice castles now.
Even if you go outside the castle, you will still be inside a labyrinth, so the world will be covered in snow.
Thinking about that, I couldn’t help but feel like returning to the temple.
