Translator: Atlasstudios Editor: Atlasstudios

It was a ruin

At first glance, the whole underground cave appeared cube-shaped A gorgeous palace rested in the center A h it was guarding it The only way out of here was the stairway that the duo found previously

“What in the world is this place…?”

Marlene stared speechlessly at the scene Rhode fared slightly better because he had experienced much more than her Compared to how Marlene reacted, Rhode stood still and silently recalled his knowledge about the origin of this ruin

Although the tere considered the brightest as after all Rhode’s knowledge was froic None of they If there was a scholar with theure out their location

“Did you find any clues?”

Rhode calnaled the black hound to scout ahead while they followed a distance behind Nevertheless, Rhode didn’t drop his guard even the slightest bit as he constantly swept his eyes over his surroundings

The whole palace emitted a luxurious atmosphere The pillars were intricately carved, and it appeared coic sphere was floating in the air Under its brilliance, the shadows slowly melted away

There were no corpse, no furniture, and no weapons

Empty

That was the first impression Rhode had when he toured the place

In fact, the ‘ruins’ can’t even be considered as ruins as they were largely intact without any bleh, the place housed no everyday objects other than staircases, pillars, and sculptures

Back in the gah each of them was unique in their oay, at least they had weapons, ar around All of the activity of one kind of another But this place is different Everything was… seely dead It was as if the entire area was devoid of life Even the surrounding moat water didn’t make a sound when it flowed

“This place sure is strange”

Rhode put down his sword and walked to a nearby pillar His eyes scrutinized the complex text and patterns carved into the stone Unfortunately, he couldn’t find any clue about their situation Just a little behind Rhode, Marlene was doing the sa as well, but she actually found a clue faster than Rhode

“I think it was built during the Fascarl Kingdodo of the Creation Era Despite being one of the strongest kingdoms at that time, it suddenly disappeared one day Even in the historical records had only a fewwas how a country as powerful as they suddenly disappear in a puff of smoke And no dom’s relics and ruins were nowhere to be found Not even the Country of Light and Darkness had found the reardless any country’s wealth of knowledge, no one had the records of the Fascarl Kingdoon spell in the Ancient Era

A country that was this mysterious should contain valuable equip in this place…”

With the help of the ht, Rhode could see the end of the palace

No treasure chest No swords No nothing Only a lonely stone altar stood erect which made Rhode somehow feel sorry for it

Just beside the altar were two knight sculptures They wore a full plate arh they elcoth

“Since there’s nothing here, we should leave”

Rhode was the type ouldn’t leave ee, and it ame, he still could resurrect But he couldn’t do that now, so he felt that if there was nothing worth spending ti would be the best option

Marlene was slightly discontented with Rhode’s unfounded wariness, but she still followed his order and kept silent When she stood up and planned to leave, at this moment, her squirrel familiar appeared fro frantically Marlene’s expression ied

“Mr Rhode, they are here!”

Fck it!
