The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee-Chapter 449 - The Deepest Room
Chapter 449 – The Deepest Room
We had enough to sleep and a warm meal.
Everyone seems to have lost their tiredness.
「Okay, are you ready, Belda?」
「I am.」
「Moko, it’s going to be a rough fight. Please stay here and wait.」
I thought it would actually be harder on Moko psychologically than physically to fight his master.
So I urged him not to fight, giving that excuse.
「I thank you for the consideration, but I shall go as well.」
「But Moko…」
「I know that I’m not much of a fighter in this condition…」
「That’s not the case.」
「No, I know it very well. I’m thin and weak, but please don’t even think of me as being there.」
Femm saw my expression and added,
『I ask as well, Alra. My father must see his end.』
「Hm…」
『He stayed here for 300 years to make sure. It’s more important than his own life.』
「Femm, thank you…I feel that way.」
「Really? It’s dangerous. You’re weak…」
There was a high possibility of Moko dying. So Vi-Vi said.
『Of course it would be sad, but it’s the pride of being a magical wolf.』
「My son seems to have been a good father.」
Moko said, happily wagging his tail.
He knew that his granddaughter understood the pride of a wolf.
「Okay, I guess Moko can come too.」
「Thank you, master of Femm.」
So we all entered the last room.
The room had all the same material for the walls, floor, and ceiling.
It looked like white marble, but it wasn’t marble at all. And everything was engraved by fine letters.
The width was about 30 times a man’s width, and the ceiling about 8 times a man’s height.
The depth was about five men deep as well, quite shallow.
There was a transparent round crystal object sitting on a pedestal near the back of the room.
And the room smelled of wolves, as Moko had lived here 300 years.
「This is a bit too small for you, Moko.」
「Yes, but I couldn’t move freely due to the curse. So it didn’t matter.」
And with that said, Moko looked around the room. He couldn’t even do so for 300 years because of the curse. Maybe this is the first time in 300 years he could freely look at it.
I walked over and stroked Moko’s head, thinking of the 300 years of loneliness.
Moko was surprised at first, then accepted it, saying,
「Madam Belda, that sphere is the key to the royal family.」
「Here?」
Belda walked directly up to the sphere.
I walked up as well and examined it with magic.
Vi-Vi and Timi were behind me, doing the same.
Vi-Vi was on Moofy, who was sniffing it.
「Don’t think there’s a trap, Alra.」
「Moo moo.」
「Yes, but it is advanced technology. Was this made by the demon lord?」
「Yes, and the mage and the healer.」
「Quite some magicians.」
「Yes, and the Lord was still stronger than all of them BEFORE he became a demon.」
Moko said proudly, but a little lonely.
That hero was stronger than the three that created this dungeon.
Then became a demon, immortal, and even stronger.
「Got to get ready for this!」
「ryaaa!」
Shiggy was ready to go as well.
「Just put your palm on the sphere and the seal will be broken.」
「Only that?」
「Yes, the moment you do, the hero will be free. If you’re uncareful, he’ll wipe you out immediately.」
「Some responsibility.」
She looked very nervous.
So I said to Belda.
「Belda, wait just a moment.」
「Sure.」
「Moofy, can you get bigger? This will be a fierce battle.」
So Moofy grew to twice the size, about three times the normal size of a cow.
「Moofy, could you put Belda on your back?」
She’d be relatively safe there.
『Okay, I do it.』
「I don’t mind.」
「Thanks. Belda, stay there, okay?」 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖
「Understood.」
So Belda got up on Moofy’s back.
She was a dragon knight, so she was quite good at hopping on.
「Chel, onto my shoulder.」
『Piggi! Got it!』
「Femm, now let me ride.」
『Sure.』
I was on her back, and we were all ready for battle.
