Episode 181. It’s rice
#
Are there real dungeons?
But that wasn’t the point.
‘Anyway, he seems to have known that there was a dungeon.’
What the hell are you calling that acting?
Nathan looked at Ion, sweating.
But yes or no. Ian nodded and spoke calmly.
“Oh. You can set off that signal now.”
“Yes Yes? ah! Is that?”
Nathan pulled out a flare from within his arms and detonated it.
Peeing~ Boom!
Instantly, green smoke spread through the air.
The mercenaries who saw it approached the destroyed unmanned mine.
“Snacks. It’s fast.”
“Isn’t that a good explanation of the flares?”
“Red is a total attack. Isn’t the green one coming to the place where the flares were fired and monitoring the surroundings?”
It was just as Nathan said.
If it was originally, it was a signal to deal with the 3rd Prince Louis and monopolize the ruins.
It was meant to prevent others from even approaching.
In fact, the unmanned mines and underground dungeons belonged to the Hellgaia Territory, so there was no need to do this.
‘But you don’t know what a person’s heart is. Because other people’s rice cakes look bigger.’
At least Ian had many enemies.
Someone could sneak in or steal something.
So, it was decided that it would be best to completely block the surroundings with the mercenaries.
No one can enter the dungeon.
Nathan looked into his arms while watching the approaching mercenaries.
“But how about this? There is one more flare left.”
“Have it. I don’t think there’s any need to blow it now.”
It was truly a warning sign for just in case.
It was a good thing I didn’t use it, but if I did, it was like a double-edged sword from which it was difficult for me to be safe.
But that wasn’t the point now.
“Please be careful with the mercenaries. Let no one in here.”
“It looks like Heinkel is coming over there.”
Nathan delivered Ion’s orders to Heinkel, who came running.
Heinkel, who was the mercenary leader, placed the mercenaries outside the unmanned mine. Then he mobilized all the mercenaries except for the guard group to deal with the enemies sent by Prince 1 and Garcia.

Most of the dead or collapsed people were sent to Helgaia’s prison.
Ian was watching them with cold eyes.
‘Only me and my people should know about this place.’
Then Nathan asked cautiously.
“But did you know it was going to be like this from the beginning?”
“What do you mean?”
“Earthquakeno see. And… I had never even heard of a dungeon in the mine.”
“I do not know? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen it.”
Ion rolled his eyes as if he didn’t really know.
Nathan looked at him as if he were piercing his heart.
“For such a thing… you are too casual.”
“Oh? Play. La. Woah. La. There was this place. I was so shocked that I couldn’t speak well.”
“····.”
Nathan looked at him like he was crazy.
But Ian ignored him and headed inside.
“Now, shall we open the treasure chest?”
“Come on, wait a minute. Prince! Dangerous! let’s go together!”
Following Ion, Nathan hurriedly entered.

Lewis was leaving the Hell Gaia estate with his knights.
Then a knight came and asked.
“Can I really come over here?”
“Is there any problem? Sir Owen.”
“It’s because I feel like I’m being attacked by the 7th Prince.”
I had no choice but to do so.
As the party who saw the deal between Lewis and Ian next to him, he was not at ease.
Lewis’ eyebrows fluttered at the knight’s words.
“I’ll provide the force, and the youngest will pay the money. Isn’t that a pretty good deal?”
“Yes, but. It feels like we are at a loss.”
“you’re right. Prince. At the very least, you don’t know how much money the 7th Prince will spend.”
The knights shook their heads as if they could not understand each other.
It was said that this might be Ian’s feat to undermine Lewis’ knight power.
“It could end with just a few pennies.”
“On the other hand, we have to face the enemies directly with the sword. Obviously, the damage is bound to increase.”
“The Duke of Garcia is by no means an easygoing person. Isn’t it because of the sins of his son, Ceres, that he was imprisoned in the royal castle until now? If he comes out… I don’t think it’s a good option to be close to the 7th Prince.”
At the words of the knights, Lewis also nodded.
“okay. Surely it will be.”
“If not. Why did you accept his offer? At the very least, we could have signed a contract in a more advantageous way for us.”
“Are you asking for fortitude and speed, for example?”
“Well… if possible, it would be even better to get Lord Fiosen, who is called the Iron Wall.”
At the words of the knights, Lewis burst into laughter.
“The lords are too greedy.”
“However. Shouldn’t that be the added weight?”
“After all, there is only one throne. Aren’t these the 7 princes that one day will have to face each other?”
But Lewis shook his head.
“no. This is not the time for us to fight.”
“Why?”
“Because the enemy is not the only Duke of Garcia.”
“yes?”
“Behind Garcia is a bigger one. It’s also an enemy you can’t defeat unless you hold hands with the youngest.”
It was the first prince.
Those who know that he is alive now have no more than five fingers.
If the 1st Prince and Garcia had teamed up, they had to get rid of this one first.
“Anyway, it won’t hurt us that much.”
“The Duke of Garcia is your opponent?”
“What Ian wants is to attack the upper ranks of the Duke of Garcia. No matter how strong the top is, it will be there.”
“Yes. All they can hire are wandering knights.”
The third prince smiled.
“Besides, there is nothing to worry about. Unless the youngest guy is an idiot, he’ll never spend a penny or two.”
You are the enemywas not strong
He must know that getting rid of Prince 1 and Garcia is more important than fighting Louis right now.
“in between. All we have to do is cut off the enemy’s eyes and ears, as well as their hands and feet, and replenish their power with the money sent by the youngest.”
“Really… that’s what you thought.”
“It will never hurt us. With the money and information from the youngest, we will be able to easily obtain seasoned knights with various combat experiences.”
“You are the third prince. You all had a plan.”
Only then did the knights vigorously nod their heads. It was also said that they were the masters they followed.
But then. One knight tilted his head.
“But isn’t it really worth it?”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s a relic. It must be on that mountain.”
“ah···”
Other knights agreed with Juan’s words.
It reminded me of the struggles I had to find the ruins until now.
The knights were usually people who didn’t like books. Almost living in the Royal Library for the 3rd Prince Louis.
“It’s not just a day or two, it’s not a trace that we’ve been researching for months and finally found.”
“I searched the library as well as the mountains like a mouse…”
“Weren’t we homeless every day, let alone an inn?”
Actually, it didn’t matter that much.
If only we had to find the ruins.
But they never found it.
“According to the torture, there are great treasures of gold and silver . . .”
“Actually, if there were only those ruins, there would be no need for us to receive the support of the 7th Prince.”
“It is said that three generations play and eat one authentic ancient relic. I am so sorry.”
Certainly, the words of the knights were not wrong.
Even that Lewis was nodding his head.
‘Even if the words written on the torture were half correct, I would have been able to obtain a tremendous amount of wealth.’
Hopefully, a new duke family that surpasses that Garcia could be born.
At the very least, if the ancient magic tools written on the torture still remain…
‘It is possible to mass-produce things worth a thousand gold. If that happens, not only the succession structure but also the composition of the continent will change.’
Ancient relics and magic tools had such value.
In particular, if it is a relic dungeon in the form of a workshop that remains in the legend, a new royal family could be born.
But Lewis grinned.
“Okay.”
“Why? Lord.”
“It is a place that outstanding people like sergeants could not find no matter how hard they tried. Even that wasn’t enough, I used all my strength, but I couldn’t find a single trace.”
“!”
“We couldn’t find it, but who can find it?”
It was really rude.
But Lewis believed in his skills and the skills of the knights he had, so he was able to say that.
The knights also agreed.
“That’s right, but…”
“It’s just that I’m sorry. If the legend is true…”
“Because it will be really helpful to the Prince.”
Still, Juan looked sad.
“I felt an earthquake a while ago. Maybe it didn’t show up in that earthquake?”
If that happens, it could be that he only did good things for the 7th Prince.
Even now, I want to go back and see the ruins.
But Lewis shook his head.
“He has already promised to take his hand. The lords are knights. As your lord, I will never say two words with one mouth.”
“Haona…”
“And above all else.”
“What is that.”
“Exploring historical sites is by no means easy. No matter how fast youEven Son wouldn’t want to beat the Guardians in it.”
“ah!”
tutelar.
It was a word referring to the ancient guards who guarded the dungeon.
Each one was stronger than the knights, and they were monsters that could not be easily defeated with a normal sword.
At least, there are usually dozens of Guardians appearing in dungeons.
Dozens of knights were needed to kill them all.
So Lewis couldn’t help but laugh.
“The youngest has little to no knighthood. If you really found that dungeon…”
Can’t you just ask for my help?
At Lewis’ eyes, the knights all grinned.
They understood the will of their master.
“No matter how much my brother flies and crawls, he is still my food.”
And it was the same with Lewis.

Nathan was genuinely perplexed.
“This.. what the hell are these!”
It was because of the strange monsters that appeared before him.
He worked hard even to the
Kang!
His sword simply bounced off.
On the other hand, the enemies boasted of their hard skin without a single wound.
Guardians who had only heard of rumors.
The gatekeepers guarding the dungeon were blocking the way.
But it was then.
“Go away.”
“Ha…but that would put the prince in danger.”
“I’m fine, so go away.”
Nathan stepped back with a frown on his face.
That moment. Ian stepped forward and threw something in his pocket.
and.
bang!
The monsters fell backwards with a huge explosion.
The golden-skinned monsters were ruined beyond recognition.
Seeing that, Ion raised the corners of his lips.
“It’s rice.”
“yes?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Nathan did not understand the situation at all.
As with the sudden relic dungeon, it was because of the prince who easily subdued the dangerous guardian.
At the very least, the prince then easily subdued not just one or two, but dozens of monsters.
‘How the hell did a prince come into being…’
No matter how much I wanted to believe, I couldn’t believe it.
That’s a prince who’s been a serf all his life.
To the extent that anyone saw it, it seemed like a sage who had lived for several decades.
That was then.
“It looks like this is the treasure room.”
Wherever Ion was pointing, there was a door made of huge gold.
Drawn there are dragons and birds.
Then Ian called Nathan.
“What are you doing. Unable to open the door.”
“Shall I open it?”
“Then shall I open the weak one?”
At Ian’s words, Nathan put on an absurd expression on his face.
But he’s a knight.
He faithfully understood Ian’s orders.
Good profit!
And the golden door opened.
The end
