Trash of the Count’s Family

from Raon who was puffing up his chest and urging him to move as he headed toward the staircase.

He then said something to Raon who was about to follow behind him.

“Tell your mom that youll be back soon.”

Raon flinched.

“Meeeeeow!”

“Hes right, you need to say goodbye! Hans said we needed to do that!”

On and Hong wagged their tails and informed Raon before leisurely following behind Cale.

Choi Han naturally easily caught up to Cale and stepped in front of him.

“Hehehe.”

Bud seemed drunk as he staggered behind Cale.

Raon was left alone.

The eyes of the black Dragon who was fluttering his wings slowly headed to the side. He made eye contact with Lord Sheritt.

Raon ’s eyes quickly headed back to the front.

Raon hesitated for a bit before quickly rushing down into the staircase. He shouted as he did that.

“I, I ’ll be back soon, nya!”

Lord Sheritt smiled at Raon who disappeared after imitating On and Hongs usual tone before she slowly closed the entrance to the underground passage.

She returned the carpet to its original spot and got rid of any signs of a door being present there before slowly activating her shield.

‘I must persist.

One of her dreams was to protect and defend a place that someone was planning on returning to.

Ooooooong-

A white shield slowly started to get bigger.

She heard Ron ’s voice as she did that.

“Lord-nim.”

Ron pointed to the Lords shield with a stoic expression.

“Your shield looks too new and strong. Why don ’t you make it look a bit older? It would be best if it looks like it could break at any moment.”

The Lord started to smirk.

“I was planning on doing that. But they will be suspicious if it looks too weak. We need to do just enough to make it seem like we are putting our lives on the line.”

“Ah, I see.”

Ron nodded his head and the Lord smiled mischievously before sending her shield that was now at a controlled level outside the dome.

That shield wrapped around Eruhaben ’s rag-like shield.

“My liege, it looks like those bastards are planning on resisting as long as possible!”

“It definitely looks like the others overdid it to protect the castle and the Lords illusion. The Lords shield seems to be the strongest.”

“It looks like Cale Henituse has no more strength left to defend.”

The enemies conversations were naturally revealed to the Wind Elementals.

Who would expect that Cale would be able to hear the voices of the Elementals?

‘We need to snitch on them!

‘Its so nice having a human who can hear us. We need to tell him everything.

‘Shut up. Just remember what they are saying. We need to tell him everything!

The Elementals were working hard to listen to the enemies conversations.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

The sound of quick footsteps moving forward filled the underground passage.

This passage was wide enough for a large cart to easily fit through.

“…Ahahahaha! Who knew there would be such a passage?!”

Mercenary King opened up his arms as he ran down the passage. There was a bottle in each hand.

‘…This crazy bastard.

Cale wanted to leave Bud behind. Bud didnt know about this and approached Cale.

Cale felt himself getting more and more annoyed every time he smelled alcohol on Bud and saw his red face and tried his best to avoid him.

However, Bud started to speak before Cale could do that.

“I didnt expect the Dragon Slayer village to be underneath the Castle of Light.”

Bud continued to speak while looking as if he was not drunk at all. He recalled what the Lord just told them before they entered the passage.

“According to the Lord-nim, they built this village underground. Thats really amazing. An underground village, I never considered such a thing.”

Cale bluntly commented back to the amazed Bud.

“I find you to be even more amazing.”

Cale found Bud, who could change from a crazy bastard to a normal person and then back again instantly, to be amazing. He thought that there would be no one else like Bud in this world.

“What? I ’m amazing?”

Cale ignored Bud and continued to move.

On, Hong, and Raon were already with Choi Han in front of them.

”Cale-nim, it looks like we will arrive there soon.”

Choi Han, who was keeping track of how far they were moving, reported to Cale once he thought they were getting close to the spot Lord Sheritt mentioned.

“Don ’t stop and keep running.”

Cale gave the order to Choi Han before continuing to run without stopping as well.

Smacking the White Star from behind was a race against time. It was better to move as quickly as possible.

That was why they needed to move without stopping.

At the same time, everything needed to be perfect and they could not miss anything.

That was why Cale ’s reddish-brown stealthily and slowly started to prepare to record.

The things Lord Sheritt told them floated through his mind.

‘There is a large underground village the size of this white ground down there.

‘That is the Dragon Slayer village.

He had first thought about the Dark Elves Underground City when Sheritt said underground village.

‘That is a land of death that only rocks can exist. People cannot live there.

Lord Sheritt had described that underground village. There was something else she had said as well.

‘There is something for you to find there.

Cale recalled the item Lord Sheritt said he must find.

“…There ’s a record book there?”

That was what Lord Sheritt had said.

‘Once the ancient times ended, the first Dragon Slayer started to record the reasons the ancient times had to end.

The terrible deeds of the person who tried to become a god during ancient times. The story of the battle he fought against those who opposed him. It was said to be a record of everything.

“Cale-nim!”

Cale looked forward after hearing Choi Han calling for him.

The end of the passage.

He could see a large boulder.

Cale gave an order to Choi Han who was looking at him.

“Break it.”

Choi Han took out his sword.

Slash.

The shining black aura cut vertically.

Baaaaaang!

The large boulder blocking the passage broke apart and caused a dust storm.

Cale slowly walked into that dust storm.

He felt as if he could hear Sheritt ’s voice explain the situation again.

‘Youll arrive at a cliff once you get to the end of the passage.

Rustle.

The debris from the destroyed boulder was falling off of the cliff.

Cale stood at the edge of the cave in the middle of the cliff as he looked around.

‘That large cliff surrounds the underground village.

He looked down.

It was a place where time had stopped for 1,000 years.

‘Then you ’ll see a land of death with nothing in it.

“Ho.”

Bud let out a gasp.

Cale just quietly closed his eyes.

One thousand years.

“Beautiful.”

Cale could see a place that was extremely beautiful, as if it was paradise, even though no humans were there.

‘However, it will seem like paradise to you.

Lord Sheritt had a bitter smile as she said the next part.

‘It is because it is the village that my precious close friend and I worked so hard to protect.

The paradise-like location that had been hidden away for 1,000 years became recorded in Cale ’s mind.

Cale undid the first button on his shirt.

Unfortunately, a paradise without any humans nor animals just seemed like a land of death to him.

“Lets go.”

Cale ’s body slowly descended to the land underneath the cliff. Previous ChapterNext Chapte
