Chapter 23 (1/2)
The Book of Dragon Chants (3)
It was a coon chants
After he had retired, he toured the continent, during the return to his home town
Without a plan, withoutpreparations for war
Just a rando trip, filled with fresh air and under the stars
The old ivory toas just on his route
‘I used to want to visit here in my life’
In the past, Ian found a hidden wine storage under the old ivory tower
The storage was chilled by a freezing spell
Thanks to that, the wines in there were tastily fermented
‘I can’t just leave it there’
After he took some wines which were in a fine condition, he decided to dispel the freezing spell on the storage
Its power source ht have worked for a hundred years
Enormous amounts of mana must have been injected to power the spell
It was safer to dispel the ic to prevent further unexpected accidents
‘Then I found soe’
It figured out that the storage hadn’t been chilled by ic
Of course, there was no source of mana as well
It was cold energy coe
“It’s the same as before”
The wine storage that he now visited earlier than in his former life
It had stayed the same as in his memory
Chilling air, ic sealed wooden wine containers
The wide area was filled with containers
Most of them were empty containers
‘I don’t knoho made it, but he must be an alcohol lover’
Ian approachedthe large sized wine container, which was located in the centre
It was so huge that it rown men in there
It was fixed to the ground
Tong Tong!
Ian gently knocked on the large wine container
It echoed back as it sounded hollow
Like in his for size, but contained no wine in it
Bang!
There was no need for hesitation
He sic
Its insides were then revealed
It wasn’t an ordinary wine container It only looked like a wine container
In reality, it had no bottom Instead, the rocky floor of the ivory toas revealed
‘He hid the entrance quite smartly’
In the past, Ian thought the entrance y
For instance, hidden by ic operated door
Just like the entrance of the wine storage, he expected soic
‘And I figured out that the entrance was under the container’
As those words were said, the foot of the candle was dark
He was absentminded
It caused him to feel ashamed of himself until now
Grrrrrrr!
Ian strongly pushed the rocky floor to side
He enhanced his strength with mana
Whirrrrr……
With freezing air, a staircase was revealed
It was so so down further in his former life
‘Not this time’
Since Ian had the body of young boy, he didn’t need to
Maybe this was the first ti body
Splash!+
The water under the staircase welcomed Ian first
The underground was invisibly dark
A single light orb wasn’t enough
“Light”
After he ht orbs, he was finally able to find the way
Although he had been here before, he couldn’t find the way as he was blinded
Further’ would come out
‘Gargoyle’
After passing the narrow aisle, he arrived at a round room
There were no further paths in the wide room
In the middle of it, there was a statue
In his foroyle statue, he was freaked out
He thought it was just a statue
‘Who would have ioyle under the ivory tower?’
In addition, he was able to recognize one important truth
There was no oyle
Which round wasn’t made by the ivory tower
‘Frooyles’
After the es moved their tower,someone probably came here and made it
Not only in his former life, this time as well
Crack! Grrr…
The gargoyle statue started tothe dust on it
Its surface would rupture soon and reveal its terrible appearance
This time, he was prepared
KAAARRRRKK-!
With its strange grow, a grey colored gargoyle jumped out
It leered at Ian as it ca towards him
It seeoyle decided to eat him
‘Its eyes were purple’
Its eyes were shi+ning like amethysts
Ian heard that its eyes are a very rare alcheredient
With its appearance, Ian could admit that
‘In my former life, I couldn’t look at it clearly’
In the past, he was freaked out and used too much force
An uniic that he wouldn’t dare to use with his current body
Naturally he didn’t have any time to see it in detail
Not just destroyed it, he turned it into dust
‘Ledio will like it’
Luckily, Ian also had his alchemist this time
He ht brew some nice elixir for him
“Aqua ball”
A basic ic like fire ball
A few aqua balls were revealed around him
It wasn’t that useful against a gargoyle
It was just simple water balls, while its opponent had stone-hardened skin
