21 Hidden Power

Ian touched the groove in the bed. Then the bed moved on its own.
drizzle
As the bed was pushed forward, the door appeared. At first glance, it looks like the entrance to a dungeon.
Ian checked his entrance and raised the corner of his mouth.
‘It’s clear. It’s here.’
Either way, it was a dubious entrance.
It was too old to be an underground air defense built by a peasant, and the shapes and phrases engraved around it were written in ancient language.
Ian slowly went down the stairs to the basement under the bed.
‘It’s darker than I thought. I’m going to stumble if I’m wrong.’
The basement was very dark. To the extent that you have to walk down, constantly paying attention to the sensations in your arms and legs. The only way to walk was because of the light from the room that came out from behind.

Much less the smell from the basement, the sultry atmosphere, and the bizarre sound of the wind. It was a normal atmosphere for even bold soldiers to be frightened.
‘If you do it right, you can get it. The power that Karan had obtained.’
Ian’s eyes seemed to be getting better, and he was smiling.
Did it go down that long?
widely!
Ian finally reached the end of the stairs.
But a big problem arose.
‘what. How did this happen?’
At the end of the stairs was a small cave. But there was nothing inside.
Truly common.
Embarrassed, Ion looked around, but there was really nothing inside.
‘Can’t this be?’
If you can’t get Karan’s power, a big setback has occurred in the plan.
‘Damn… like this…’
But it was then.
“!”
I found something engraved in a hazy on the floor. It had huge patterns and hard-to-read characters.
‘This is definitely an ancient language.’
But I couldn’t read it. While he was a prince, he had access to knowledge of ancient languages, but never properly learned it.
In the end, Ion, who was thoroughly researching the surroundings, sighed.
‘Considering that Karan gained power here, I can’t even feel the energy of his magical powers.’

Maybe it was Karan’s bluff, and in fact, wasn’t this space used as a warehouse or air-raid shelter in ancient times?
In the end, Ian had no choice but to head up the stairs.
Just in case, it seemed that I had to find a book related to the ancient language first.
But it was then.
“!!”
Suddenly there was a huge roar.
Kugugu Palace
Ian looked down in embarrassment, but it wasn’t a sound coming from the basement.
Rather, the sound is from the ceiling!
Ian looked up and was astonished.
‘no! The door!’
It was the sound of the entrance door being closed. It was the moment when Ion was about to rush towards the entrance.
‘!’
Ian, who was walking towards the entrance, was startled. It was because of the silhouette seen from the entrance.

Maybe late 10’s?
Silver hair that looks like a peacock’s childhood. His eyes are cold, but the corners of his mouth are full of playfulness.
‘The third peacock!’
He was Karan, who had disappeared from the castle. He was also the guy who originally came to this place and gained strength.
And finally, Karan, who appeared in front of Ion, raised the corner of his mouth.
“There is nothing there. Idiot.”
“no! stop!”
Ian EunI hurried to the entrance.
But it was faster for the entrance to close than he could reach.
bang!
The door closed in front of Ian’s eyes. The passageway, which had depended on the small light at the entrance, was instantly covered with darkness.
“That damn child.”
Ian fumbled around the door desperately.
However, no matter how much he searched, there was no button to open the entrance, so Ion kicked the entrance.
‘Somehow, I couldn’t see him.’
I’m sure you’ll be waiting for yourself in a place like this.
Ian thought about Karan in the past. Although there was no head-to-head battle, he was an unusual child among the children of the duke.
‘He’s overly moody and capricious.’
He was born as one of the greatest geniuses in Garcia’s history. He was very good at devising laws that would go down in history, but he was such a nuisance that even the Duke would get sick of it.
‘That guy. Could it be that you followed me?’
he was clear
Otherwise, there would be no way to close the entrance at this time.
He must have already known about this underground.
‘Then, have you already gained strength?’
No, it didn’t look like that.
Of course, that wasn’t the point now.
“under···. Apparently, I was trapped in a place with no exit.”
This wall is thick enough that no one will hear you screaming. Since I came without telling anyone, no one came to find me.
‘This could be really dangerous.’
There was a chance that Karan would open it, but it didn’t seem like he would open it easily from what he said.
If this was a really important place, he wouldn’t be able to open it easily.
“At least I can’t help but hope that Galon will doubt the child.”
That was the moment when Ion sighed.
“uh?”
As the door closed, something rather strange happened.
When the inside of the cave became completely black, something slowly appeared in the darkness.
It is clearly the pattern of the floor. No, it wasn’t just the floor.
The whole wall of the common room was lit with light.
Ian walked towards the cavity as if possessed by its beauty.
“Does it only respond when all the light disappears?”
It will only be revealed in complete darkness.
But the painting on the wall was more shocking than the glow.
Not only people, but also animals and all kinds of things were drawn, and even the expressions on their faces were vividly felt as if they were alive.
Among them, Ion was concerned about the person who was sculpted at the top.
“Is that… the king? Emperor?”
It was a figure with a gold crown. He stood with his sword as if giving a command. And below it, seven beings were fighting with their own weapons.
Those who look like knights and those who look like wizards.
‘The 7th main line?’
It was clear that there were entities that only appeared in very old myths.
They had only heard of stories, but they were fighting fiercely with those who looked like monsters.
For a moment, Ian could not take his eyes off the picture of the iron gate.
“No. Now is not the time for this. We need to find an exit.”
That was the moment to turn around.
‘!’
A sentence began to be engraved between the magnificent paintings.
It wasn’t anything else.
[Those who want to prove their qualifications. Show your beliefs]
Ian was perplexed.
‘Is this a trigger condition?’
It was very likely that it was the power that Karan had obtained. But Ian was in trouble.
Show your beliefs, was your belief something you could see?
At that time, a new letter was engraved under the sentence.
[Prove your qualifications and convictions with blood]
“blood?”
I didn’t know why.
Ion pulled the dagger from his waist as if possessed.

“You idiot. There is nothing there.”
The duke’s third son, KaranHe let out an exhilarating laugh.
The image of Ion falling into despair at the sight of the door still closing was vivid.
“Look there for the rest of your life. Is there anything special?”
The secret passage Ion found was a place with a long history even in the Duke Garcia family, the founder of the country.
From what I heard, it was said that it was the place where the first king and the first duke existed.
So I wondered if there were any hidden secrets or treasures, but I couldn’t find anything special even though the previous dukes and their children were mobilized.
It was the same with the ancient words written on the walls and the patterns on the floor.
‘The pattern on the floor is meaningless. The ancient words written on the wall are…’
It was just a historical story.
The story of an ancient king and his servants.
Especially when they saw the nonsense that was close to self-congratulations about one article, everyone was disgusted.
Thanks to this, successive dukes treated the space as garbage.
It was because a lot of money went into asking many scholars to interpret the ancient language.
Of course, Karan had a different idea.
‘It can’t be. If you look at the fact that there are no flaws in any attack, it must have been some kind of secret.’
As much as Karan could not give up the secret, he continued to challenge for several years. However, Ian’s sudden action turned a playful mood.
“Get out of there and kill yourself. little boy you see me I think I’m going to have to go through some hardship.”
Of course, it wasn’t that Ian didn’t like it.
The second older brother with a dirty personality with no skills. Not only did he mess up Servant Lee. Didn’t he even play with the assassin, the servant?
So it was interesting.
“Really, how long is that little boy going to survive there?”
The servant who had been imprisoned in the past came out as a corpse in three days.
‘Still, he’s the one who made my father in trouble, so I hope it lasts 4 days. No, do you want to last 4 days? ‘
Before that, I was lucky if I didn’t tremble in the darkness where there was no light.
In fact, even he was scared and never closed the door from inside. But if you just look at the structure, he was a genius and knew everything.
‘When the door is closed, structurally, it becomes a complete dark room.’
That was when Karan came out of Ian’s room.
“Master Karan? Why are you coming out?”
“!”
It was none other than Nathan and Galon who appeared before him.
Karan smiled at the sight of her being wary of herself.
“Why are you coming? From now on, you say I’m in charge of the prince? So I came to meet you and say hello. But why aren’t you here?”
Nathan looked absurd.
“ah. Karan… will the master say hello?”
Isn’t that guy a far cry from saying hello?
In fact, he did not greet the royal family, but when the angry prince said hello, he broke his leg instead and was banned from entering the royal castle.
But who comes to say hello to whom?
Karan raised the corners of her lips at Nathan’s suspicious look.
“But what are the lords doing here? Sir Gallon is the prince’s escort…”
Karan’s dangerous eyes turned to Nathan.
“Why is Sir Nathan here, who should be my escort?”
Nathan smirked.
‘This weak-headed master.’
“Hey, the 3rd Confucius didn’t stay together, so I went looking for them. I have something to tell the prince.”
“What do you want me to tell you?”
“Why do I have to tell the master about that?”
“Did you skip training and lose your mind? I’m in charge of the prince. You’re away, so if it’s urgent, I’d better listen.”
“ha···”
Nathan shook his head.
I wondered if I could tell Karan about this.
‘Excellent, but too pony-like.’
But in the end he had no choice but to speak.
“I have received a message that the 2nd Prince has arrived at the Duke’s Castle.is. But they said that they wanted to see Prince Ian by all means…”
The opponent was a strong enemy of the succession war.
Is there any way to look at Ion, who appeared out of nowhere?
It was only natural that the Duke ordered Ian to be protected. Then Galon stopped him, saying there was no reason to deliver more to Karan.
“So where is the prince?”
“Why are you asking me that? Didn’t he come to say hello?”
Galon looked at Karan instead of answering. His eyes were telling him not to lie, but Karan was relaxed.
‘I can’t hear anything down there. Be suspicious for the rest of your life. Will I get caught?’
By the way, there was a time when the three were facing each other without a word.
bang!
A loud noise resounded from the entrance to the castle close to the annex.
And that place connected to the garden is the only entrance connected to the annex!
Everyone frowned at the sound and ran away.
It was the person who appeared there.
“therefore. Where is my handsome brother? He said he was in the annex, so I came to see him personally.”
2 princes.
Behind him were a bunch of armed knights and soldiers.
Galon and Nathan frowned. However, Gallon quickly cleared up his complexion and stood in front of the second prince.
“I’m sorry, but Prince Ian has been away for a while for other work. Come back next time.”
At first glance, it was a polite way of speaking.
Of course, the voice stood out. It was natural. Because the behavior of the 2nd prince now was very rude.
But the 2nd Prince raised the corners of his lips sarcastically.
“Something else?”
He glared at the knights with eerie eyes.
The brilliance was enormous.
“My brother is a very scary person. He puts the knight in front of him, and he hides himself.”
Karan, who leisurely followed the scene, opened her mouth with a smile as if it was as planned.
“The 7th Prince disappeared as soon as he heard the news of His Majesty. And it seems that it will take a considerable amount of time to find it…”
At Karan’s words, the second prince narrowed his brow.
But it was that moment.
flash!
“What… what! That!”
“It’s dazzling!”
Inside the annex, the light pouring out of the space where Ian was supposed to be was pouring out of the annex.
Everyone, even Karan, looked at the place in amazement.
