Chapter 471 - Ruins of Imperial Dungeon 3 (1/2)
“Huhuhu. Surely they are all stuck in there.”
Emperor Rudolf, who was looking through the three-dimensional view in front of him, smiled.
In one of the sections of the dungeon, several red spots were currently blocking the green spots, not letting anyone move.
Well, the red dots were disappearing one after the other.
“Your Majesty, this is…?”
Voltas was asking the same question for the fifth time.
Rudolf, staring at the three-dimensional view, turned to Voltas with a smile.
“Huh? What did you say, Count Voltas?”
“I asked what the device was. I never knew such a device was in Your Majesty’s office.”
“Obviously, you didn’t. This is a top-secret that only the Emperors of the past knew.”
At Rudolf’s words, Voltas could feel his heart stabilize.
Surely, such a thing had to be a top-secret of the Emperor.
Voltas was just a little worried about whether or not the Emperor knew everything that he was doing.
Had he ever been outside the Emperor’s eyes?
“You know about the legend that goes around the Imperial Palace, right? The story where the last princess of the Libiya Kingdom had disappeared with a ruby.”
“Yes, I knew very well the story that was created by the ancestors, but…?”
“You must know it. It is real. It was a lie that the Goddess Belize took in the princess and dragged the first Emperor to hell.”
Emperor Rudolf sat while looking at the portrait of the 1st Emperor at the side of his office.
“In the past or in the Mado era, there was a special magic tower where magic research was being conducted. It was a place where the impossible was being studied. Even in those days, the magic was as brilliant as now.”
“Impossible areas…?”
“Time and Space.”
At the words of the Emperor, Voltas couldn’t get his head around it.
He was someone who didn’t know much about magic, but he knew what the Emperor was showing now was truly something that happened only in the realm of God.
In response to Voltas’ reaction, Rudolf smiled.
“You might not believe it. However, the thing about space was successful. It was rare, but there are things like ‘subspace’ which have been created to contain items.”
Subspace items made in the Mado era were all over the ancient ruins.
Luke’s subspace artifact was one of them.
“Even if space was possible, isn’t time impossible? Going to the past or to the future only work in novels.”
At Voltas’ words, Rudolf shook his head.
“We already achieve the results with space. Why do you think that ‘time’ is impossible?”
‘Was it really possible?’
Rudolf continued to speak whether Voltas considered him to be insane or not.
“Anyway, the ancient fairy wizards who succeeded in creating the space continued to study in Time, and they came to the conclusion that adjusting Time would require a huge amount of magic to match with the power of the God.”
It was impossible for people to have magic powers equivalent to the power of God. A human’s body wouldn’t be able to stand it.
Thus, the ancient wizards tried to get such power from nature.
As they searched for places with mana fields in nature, they finally managed to find the best place.
“And was that the Imperial Palace?”
“Yes, the place where the dungeon is located attracts all the powers in the world, not just mana or aura. Even people who stand there for a long time will die.”
‘Was that why a prison was built over there?’
While Voltas was in thoughts, Rudolf continued to speak, “Even after the Mado era disappeared and the magic tower perished, the strange phenomenon of the place didn’t change. That was why humans began to seal it off and build temples over them, in hopes that the evil of the world would disappear.”
