Lesson 19: The Dungeon

Mapping the Royal Castle for the first time on the morning of the third day.

"May I have a word?

At first it was an exploration between me and Illis alone, but Sylvia and Melissa and escort subjects were also visiting under the Beast King.

"What's up?

"I found something in the castle that I'd like you to see, so I want you to follow me."

"Is that urgent?

"Yes."

In some cases, it could be more disastrous than it was when the thunderbeasts broke out.

"Okay."

The Beast King, who felt the disturbing air from my expression, acknowledges it.

"I'll call the escort."

Although within the royal castle, there is not necessarily no traitor.

You can't walk around without an escort because you're a king.

"No, I'd like to be alone if possible"

The less people know what to show you now, the better.

"Fine. Instead, protect me as well as Noel."

"Yes."

The destination is a dark place further down the first floor of the Royal Castle.

"Do you understand what it means to guide you ahead?

"Absolutely."

The Lord of the Royal Castle, the Beast King, understood as he walked about what was ahead of him.

We get to the end where no one leans on us.

"Um... how did you get me to a place like this?

"I wonder why the entrance to the basement is built at the end of every castle."

The royal castle of the kingdom of Metis also housed the entrance to the labyrinth (dungeon) beneath the castle. It's a place I have to hide, so I guess it's to hide it from anyone's eyes.

The royal castle of the kingdom of Memphis had the same important facilities underground.

Most of all, there is no labyrinth.

deflect the end-of-life wall. On the other side of the wall, shifted by a force so light that it was unlikely to be a wall, was a stone spiral staircase leading underground.

"I can't believe there was such a place in the castle..."

Noel is surprised to see the spiral staircase for the first time.

Even Noel, who has lived in the castle for a long time, has not been informed of his underground presence. There were facilities in the basement that had to be kept that secret.

"Follow me."

I say it for members who don't know what's at the end of the stairs.

The path leading underground is dark and soon invisible, so light spheres created by magic - light spheres (light balls) - are released from your hands to brighten them.

It goes down a narrow spiral staircase where two humans pass through the best.

"How far is it going?

"About five floors?

Answering Mr Mishrina's question, he goes down the stairs silently.

The wind coming from the basement is cold.

After a while he reached the end of the stairs and went out into a large space with lights.

"This place..."

The space is circular and about 100 meters in diameter. It is quite widely built and is also more than ten meters high.

And there was an iron lattice around the outer circumference of the circle.

"No way......"

"That's right. It's a dungeon for capturing felons."

The tip of the iron lattice was to be jailed and more than thirty criminals were to be trapped.

"What do you want me to show you by bringing you here?

"Haven't you noticed?

No one is in the cell near the entrance.

Even the closest prisoner is more than twenty meters from the entrance, so sometimes it's dark and I can't help but notice.

"... that's really weird"

The Beast King noticed the discomfort.

"If you're a prisoner resenting a human being out there, it's not weird to raise one of your grievances if someone comes. On the contrary -"

I can't feel alive.

Prisoners, that is to say, people who are living and redeeming their sins.

At least you have to live.

"I'm alive. But I don't know if I can say I'm living that state..."

Approaching the nearest prisoner.

"Ugh..."

The Beast King moaned when he checked the prisoner's condition.

Sylvia supported Mr. Claudia fainting and falling, who confirmed in the same way, and Ms. Mishrina was praying. Noel is holding his mouth to avoid spitting out things in his stomach.

"What the hell..."

"You're almost mummified"

The body is lean and in a state where there is only bone and skin. His mouth was open and his hair almost fell out and his eyes were blinded.

You noticed our presence. Desperately trying to reach out. But it never reaches us. It just moves like a slight tremor.

You don't look very alive.

"This is what's happening because they're sucking me off."

"What's this all about?!?

The Beast King is angry to see how the prisoner is.

After all, did he know anything?

He runs to the next cell to check on the other prisoners, and when he finishes checking, he also checks the next cell.

As a result, all of the prisoners were being sucked alive in the dungeon.

"You brought me here. Then you also know what's causing this!?

"Of course there is."

I realized that I was in the dungeon when the Royal Castle mapping was at the end.

We started our quest on the upper floor of the castle, and we realized that there was a vast space underneath the castle as we explored the first floor.

At first, when I rubbed through the space where the dungeon was located using [wall drainage], my consciousness turned to all the objects on the floor. But the groans that came from the moment I stepped down to the floor made me realize that that was the dungeon and what the prisoner was like.

"There was a ritual going on in this dungeon. They use their life force as a source of energy for that ritual."

"The ritual!?

I've never heard of such rituals taking place.

"When did you make sure the prisoners were safe?

"... the prisoners naturally need food. No one wanted to go into a place like this, so I was letting them carry food to keep them in the sun... I only heard that report. Recently, the prisoner was imprisoned six months ago, but he didn't do anything to be present at that time. The last time I took you to the dungeon was five years ago."

The Beast King teaches me as I remember.

Five years before that, there was nothing like a ritual taking place, just a prison where prisoners were being held.

"You've got a lot of time."

If you have five years, you can steal the king's eyes and get ready.

It's about King Leonid Beast who's going to take Noel's side in this country.

"The Beast King. What do you think of this floor?

Hit the stone floor with your feet just like the wall.

"Nothing... isn't it just the floor?

"Does it look that way"

Bring the light bulb (light ball) closer to where the floor is.

To make it easier for the Beast King to understand.

"Nothing out of the ordinary, though?

But I still didn't get it.

"You're just a little different in color"

Sylvia immediately noticed.

It was dark and hard to tell, but two types of tiles were used on the floor: light gray tiles and dark gray tiles.

"[Summons]"

Magic formations appear on the floor to summon eagles out of the labyrinth.

Eagle - The Sapphire Eagle jumps off the floor and stands by near the ceiling.

"It's my user demon who just flew it. You can share your senses. Simply put, I can also see the view the demon is looking at. So now I know what the floor looks like from the ceiling."

Magically create video in the air.

Even if you don't know just because you show a part of the floor, there's something you can tell if you show the whole thing. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't seen the floor from the ceiling either.

"Is this the magic team?

"Exactly."

A dark gray tile was used in the light gray tile to draw the magic formation.

There was also the darkness of the dungeon that had never been noticed before.

"Melissa, you know what this magic formation is all about."

"Yes, we've only been able to analyze a part of it, but this is a magic formation to summon high-ranking demons."

Melissa answered as she watched the magic formation when she [summoned] the Sapphire Eagle.
