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
