The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 305
64page. Kazan Rudric (4)
7.
A space with a heavy sense of silence.
With the presumed tomb of Kazan Rudric in front of them, Syrpi and Muak kept their mouths open for a while and only had blank expressions..
On the other hand, Ulan and his party looked around curiously and opened their mouths..
“Is this the Kazan tomb?”
“Well, it's smaller than I thought..”
Noah let out a short sentiment..
With a somewhat surprised expression.
It was natural. This place was so small and shabby that it was hard to believe that it was the tomb of a man who was called the great hero of the desert..
So I was looking around to see if there was a road leading to another space..
“well, something must be wrong!”
A shrill voice echoed through the hall..
It is the voice of Syrpi Rudric..
She let out a cry full of disbelief, meeting every gaze directed at her..
“There's no way the tomb of Rudrik in Kazan, the tomb of our ancestors, could have been left unattended like this.!”
“……yes i think the same.”
Muak also shook his head..
Like I agree with her.
“This makes no sense. There's no way the tomb of our ancestors we've been looking for for a thousand years is in such a close place.?”
“that's right!”
Syrpy gives strength to the voice once again.
The two of them seemed stubborn as if they would not admit that this was the Kazan tomb..
But Ulan thought differently..
“that's your opinion.”
“what?”
“These guys, that's what you call Shinsoo, were the guides here. Does that mean that Shinsoo brought him to the wrong place??”
“that, that…….”
Muak was speechless for a moment..
because it was the theory.
If their claim is correct, it becomes a story that Shinsoo is lying..
“I heard and saw it.”
“Kazan Rudrick is their old master, so there's no way they'll lead you to the wrong place..”
The other party also nodded as if agreeing with Ulan's words. At that time, the evil bird, the poisonous snake, and the white wolf opened their mouths one after another..
[clack! cack!]
[shudder!]
[Greung! greung!]
Of course I couldn't understand.
Then the interpretation of Perticia followed..
“This is the tomb of Kazan Rudric. In addition, the only thing that is shabby is the outside, and the inside is much wider than this, so don't worry..”
“that, really…….”
“Are you saying that this is the tomb of our ancestors?.”
Shirfi and Muak's eyes turned to the entrance of the tomb again. With eyes filled with complex emotions that cannot be expressed in words.
That was then.
“everyone, come this way.”
Dillia, who left the group for a moment and headed toward the entrance, gestured. After a while, she pointed to a stone slab near the entrance..
“Here, something, written, it seems.”
“This…….”
“It's a holy text or something..”
Ulan muttered softly..
From his point of view, it was because the characters written on the tomb of Xarthum were quite similar in appearance..
Noah, on the other hand, shook his head..
“no, it's different.”
“what? what point?”
“It's true that they are letters from the ancient desert kingdom, but they are not sacred letters. If this is it, maybe even Syrpy can interpret it..”
After answering, Noah stepped back..
As if asking Syrupy to interpret instead.
Then Syrpy tilted his head..
“let me interpret?”
“yes please.”
“……why?”
It was a natural question. Why are you leaving the interpretation to yourself now when you have interpreted it well on your own until now??
“I'm just a little tired.”
A vague answer.
However, since he couldn't say anything about being tired, Sylphy moved to the stone slab..
After a while, she put her finger on the slate and immediately began to interpret the contents of the slate..
『Announcement to guests visiting this place.』
『If you are not a blood relative of Rudric, I advise you to leave this place..』
『This is the tomb of Kazan Rudric..』
『Arrangements for Heirs.』
『Those who do not qualify as successors are not allowed to look inside or step into my tomb..』
Written on the front of the slate.
According to the records, this is definitely the tomb of Kazan Rudric..
And as soon as this fact was revealed through Syrpi's mouth, there was a stir among the warriors of the desert who followed Muak..
“Indeed, this is the tomb of our ancestors.?”
“uh how did this happen…….”
Appearing in shock.
To be honest, the warriors did not believe Perticia's interpretation. She was a human outside the desert, much less the imperial princess, the enemy of the church..
So I thought it was intentional. However, the story changed after hearing the interpretation of the record on the stone tablet from Syrpi's mouth..
Sirpi is Rudric's direct blood relative..
There was no way a person with such a status would come up with a false interpretation. Meanwhile, Noah smiled softly at this sight..
‘That's the reaction I expected.’
This is why Noah entrusted the interpretation of the tablets to Sirpi. To tell the truth to the desert warriors who deny reality.
But it wasn't just the warriors who were shocked. Syrpy also seemed to be quite shocked by what he had interpreted..
“Then I will interpret the rest..”
Because the purpose was achieved anyway.
After answering, Noah walked over to the slate, leaving Syrpy with a blank face behind. It was to interpret the remaining contents on the back side..
『However, if you are Rudrick's blood relative, stand in front of the door and prove your qualifications. Then he'll let you look inside.』
That's all the content on the back.
After finishing the interpretation, Noah looked back at Ulan..
“It's the same way as the Tomb of Xarthum..”
“Then I'll see blood again.”
Uhlan with an ax drawn.
He grabbed Sirpi's hand as he had done before Zartum's tomb. Then he tore her skin lightly with an ax and made a wound..
Then, as before, Syrpy brought the blood-stained palm to the center of the stone gate..
some time after that.
cooong! coo goo goo!
The tightly closed red light flashed and opened with a loud sound. Then, a slightly wider space opened up in front of the party..
“There is also a fire stone here..”
“Everyone is pretty wary.”
Laurea and Sven muttered in turn while looking at the blast stones behind the stone gate..
After carefully passing the vicinity of the Blast Stone, the party arrived at the space beyond the Stone Gate. Then he made a puzzled expression.
“what? this space…….”
“There doesn't seem to be anything special about it.?”
Following Ibella's puzzled expression, Laurea tilted her head as well..
Unlike Zhartoum's tomb full of stone slabs, Kazan's tomb was empty. Subsequently, Sven also found something strange..
“I don't think there's another door.”
The only door that exists in this space is the stone gate the group just passed through. In other words, this was a completely dead-end room..
“oh! what is written there!”
Then Perticia pointed at the wall in front of her. As she said, there were letters believed to be in Kazan Rudric's handwriting..
Soon Noah's interpretation began.
『welcome through the first door.』
『Rudric's kinsman, my descendant.』
『Arriving here must mean that you have read the records left by Zhartoum..』
Judging by the mention of Zharthum, it seems that the correct answer was to visit his tomb and then come here..
Noah continued to interpret.
『But you can't go to the next room, so only those who have proven themselves to be heroes can pass this place..』
“heroic qualities?”
“what else is that?”
Ulan and Perticia tilted their heads..
However, I have not yet been able to answer the two questions. Because this was not the content of the slate.
『find them and bring them here.』
『If you bring in someone who has truly proven his heroic qualities, the true entrance I have arranged will reveal itself..』
All that was written was this.
After talking for a long time, when he took a moment to catch his breath, the conversation between the party struck Noah's ears..
“He is a being who proves the quality of a hero..”
“what does that mean?”
When various speculations came and went.
Noah broke into the conversation.
“My guess is that it means someone who has passed the hero's ordeal..”
“Yes? Trial of a Hero?”
“not the warrior's ordeal?”
“Yes, the Hidden Piece hidden in the Fountain of Magic, the place where Uhlan obtained Kazan Rudric's emblem..”
It's definitely a reasonable guess.
The relationship with Kazan Rudric was also sufficient. When Noah's speculation was entangled, Rudrick's followers suddenly moved..
Grotesque bird and poisonous snake, Baekrang.
After each of the three members settled down in the center of the room, they suddenly began to radiate terrifying magic power..
“suddenly what…….”
The moment the party reacted in surprise to the sudden action, a bluish light magic circle appeared between the three members..
Soon after, Baekrang opened her mouth, and Pertisia, who heard it, gave an interpretation..
“I say go up there.?”
“over the magic circle?”
“Yes, it is said that light comes from the body of a being who has proven his qualifications as a hero standing there..”
Then you should go up.
With Ulan at the head, the party stepped onto the magic circle one by one..
Then a strange thing happened.
saaaaa!
A whitish light like water mist swirled around the magic circle, and soon a bluish light radiated from Ulan's body..
“It's also what I expected.”
A being who proved the qualifications of a hero.
This means Ulan who passed the hidden peace in the fountain of magic, the hero's ordeal..
Around the time Noah, who had changed his guess to certainty, was nodding his head in silence, an unexpected addition suddenly occurred..
“uh? wait for a sec.”
“This…….”
Ulan wasn't the only one who glowed. Dillia, Perticia, and Sven, who came up to the magic circle belatedly, also emitted light from their bodies..
“……!”
Seeing this, Noah opened his eyes wide..
Because these four had something in common. It is that he passed the warrior's ordeal. Noah, who witnessed the variable, soon came up with a new guess..
‘Then, does Kazan Rudrick's saying that the being who proved his qualifications as a hero means a warrior??’
However, there are doubts about this speculation..
The part about how Kazan Rudric, who existed a thousand years ago, knew about the existence of the hero..
Then I suddenly remembered the old days.
‘Ah, come to think of it, in the original work, it was not revealed who created the hero's trial..’
Trial of the Seven Warriors.
This is an ordeal created to select the warriors who face the abyss. Those who pass the ordeal get special rewards and become stronger.
However, it is not known exactly who created the ordeal. As I thought of these things, a guess passed through my mind for an instant..
‘wait, that's……!’
Could it be that Kazan Rudric was the one who created the Trial of the Hero? Noah licked his lips at the sudden guess..
‘Possibility is enough.’
According to Zhartoum's records, after the 7-day disaster in the desert, Kazan Rudric left the desert and wandered the continent..
Then it becomes understandable that Kazan knows about the existence of the warriors and that the bodies of those who have passed the ordeal shine..
‘yes, then it makes sense.’
Blue eyes shining like stars.
When speculation turned to certainty, an unexpected change broke Noah's thoughts..
aaaaaaa!
Ulan and Dylia, Pertisia and Sven.
The sight of the beings except for the four ordeal passers being wrapped in the light of the magic circle. Seeing this scene, Noah couldn't help but put on a blank expression..
“……uh?”
Another new variable.
It was Laurea and Ian..
