Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

The ashes of Sire Bundy were sold for 5,000 gold.

The successful bidder was a woman named Gong Sia who gave me the ticket to the black market auction house.

Why do we need the ashes of Sire Bundy?

And seeing that she can earn 5,000 gold, her status seems unusual.

‘Anyway, that man looks pretty pissed off.’

Even the man who coveted the ashes couldn’t afford to pay more than 5,000 gold.

Instead, he shuddered and spurned his seat and left.

‘Was that really the purpose of this auction?’

I decided to stop caring about it.

It’s gone anyway, there’s nothing better to think about.

“Relax… … .”

“Are you really afraid of losing your money?”

“of course! What the hell was this fool thinking, calling 2,000 gold for something like that?”

“Because it’s useful.”

“That one? where?”

“There is such a thing.”

The auction continued.

Since then, there has been nothing worth buying or interested in.

Most of them didn’t even know what it was, and because they didn’t have money, they weren’t even interested.

The funniest thing was that Flake was here and that Gongsia intercepted what he was aiming for again.

I didn’t know if she really needed the item or if she took it as revenge.

“Ehh, is it a waste of time after all?”

After the auction was over, Frances let out a short sigh with her shoulders drooping.

“I think I had a good experience.”

“How much money did you spend on security? … .”

She was already busy calculating money in her head.

By the end of the auction, it was after many auction participants had disappeared. The auctions here don’t show the best items last, so there was no need to waste time.

Frances and I also left the auction house and walked down the empty hallways.

If you go a little further from here, there is an auction receiving place, and whenever you see those who go there, you will send them eyes mixed with envy.

When you reach the stairs through the hallway.

“wren.”

A familiar voice called me.

It was Gongsia.

“ball… Shia-sama?”

I didn’t know that he would suddenly approach me here.

Do you have something to do?

“Take this.”

“uh… … .”

I accepted the small wooden box she handed me with a bewildered expression.

When I opened the wooden box, I found a small bag with bone powder inside.

“Why do you do this to me?”

“Didn’t you save me? I don’t know why you want something like this, but it seems like you’re short on funds, so I bought it instead.”

When Gong Xia saw me entering the auction for the first time, she bought the item for me.

It was a really unexpected gift, so the impression came twice as big.

“thanks… do.”

“It’s a little cheap for my life, but with this you and I will end our debt.”

“Of course. The auction house ticket was enough for me.”

“You may be, but I am not. I bought it for you, so may I ask you something?”

“yes. Ask anything.”

“Why did you want to buy it?”

Her eyes shone finely.

pure curiosity… Or something like an inquisitive mind.

“My job is a gravekeeper.”

“… A gravekeeper?”

“yes. It is my job and my duty to appease the spirits of the dead. Is this also part of that duty?”

She furrowed her eyebrows like mountains.

An expression of complete incomprehension.

Or it’s the look of disbelief.

“Why are you trying to appease the soul of a murderer?”

“I just ask you to repent of your sins in the next life. Because every specter has its own karma. And that’s the same for me, Gongxia-nim, and the escort in the back.”

“… … Do I have karma?”

“Everyone does. Even the smallest things and irreversible big mistakes are all just differences in degree. I am doing my duty to clear that karma.”

She stroked her chin as if lost in thought.

“Erase karma… … . Heh, I tend to hate being in debt. If you have karma, you just have to pay the corresponding price. I heard why it’s not funny.”

“I’m sorry.”

“… … One, I’m not trying to erase karma, I’m just doing my duty. If you are right, that will soon erase my karma.”

When she said that, she smiled softly.

“let’s go.”

Just when she turns around.

Koo Goo Goo Goo!!

A loud explosion came from beyond the wall of the auction house.

The entire building shakes and the vibrations spread in all directions.

“what?”

“Some madman made such a fuss in the black market auction house… … !”

The scale of the explosion was too large for a normal accident to have occurred.

Besides, there’s no way that kind of explosion would happen at this auction house.

“princess! You must evade it now!”

“Go ahead. I will leave immediately.”

Gong Sia and the escort looked at us and ran down the stairs.

‘princess? If you are a princess… … ?’

Before I could continue my thoughts, the aftermath of the explosion from above collapsed the stairs, blocking the way down.

“I will go the other way.”

“Anything that breaks through walls?”

“It may be possible, but now the support is weakened in the aftermath of the explosion. I don’t know if it’s just one wall, but it looks dangerous because you have to go through several walls to see the outside.”

“I can’t help it.”

Take the half-floor stairs and run to the end of the hallway on the other side.

And again, a roaring roar.

aaa!!

At the same time, the right wall shattered and a huge fire and pile of stones rushed into our place.

“Keugh!”

“princess… You’re… … !”

And a red-haired man who appears through the flames.

“flake!”

“Kyik! I’m here to find mine!”

A raised mouth. The mad eyes are clearer than before.

Shiiik!!

hooked!

The sword was stuck in the abdomen of Flake, who was only aiming for Gongxia.

A talented person that even I missed the moment.

Gongxia’s escort again hid their presence among the flames and thrust their swords into Flake’s abdomen in a surprise attack.

“At the same time, the vital points are well blocked.”

“Kick.”

Flake smiles with his lips wide open even though the sword is stuck in his body.

“Great? I didn’t notice at all.”

“Relaxed treatment… … Ugh!”

The blood that flowed from the abdomen rode over the sword and became lodged in the guard’s body.

Like a living thread, dozens of veins of blood entwine and bind the guard’s entire body.

‘Crazy… … , Was the blood magic that strong?’

Flake’s wound from which he pulled out the sword was covered in blood and began to heal.

I had never heard of such magic.

no, is that possible?

“Den!”

From nob le mtl dot com

Gongxia urgently called Den and I stopped her from moving forward.

“Get out of the way.”

“you… … ?”

Seeing!

The moment he tries to run away with his first marriage.

This time, an explosion occurred on the floor.

aaa!!

The ceiling, the floor, everything collapses.

From nob le mtl dot com

Gong Xia fell first, then I followed her.

“Where are you going!”

Flake jumped on top of me as I fell along the disappeared floor, and my right hand was wrapped in yellow lightning.

‘Blood magic seems to be the strongest, but this time it’s brain attribute magic… … .’

If it’s magic that shows nonsensical abilities, there’s a high possibility that there will be restrictions.

Since I can’t use blood magic right now, should I use the next most powerful brain attribute magic?

‘First of all, prepare but leave blood magic aside.’

Whoo!!

Waves of lightning that flew through the air.

Swing the chohon to slash the electric shock, then turn around to prepare for the shock.

Kwaaang!!

The shockwave that came as the floor exploded.

It was only a height of the second floor, but if it falls incorrectly, it will cause a great blow.

With all my energy, I pushed the electric charge of the flakes that occupied the floor and rolled.

“Keugh.”

Unlike me, who rolled over awkwardly, Gongsia and Flake landed safely on the floor.

‘How did you do it?’

Even if Flake uses wind-attribute magic, Gongxia… … .

‘Was my prediction wrong?’

He thought of Gongsia as the princess of Rosaria. But I heard that the Princess of Rosaria can’t use magic… … .

‘This will come later.’

There was no time to think about the identity of Gongxia for a long time.

It was because Flake, who had landed on the ground, was running straight towards Gongxia.

“Give me!”

As I hurriedly ran to protect Gongxia, he kicked the stones rolling on the ground with his feet.

A stone that rushes so fast and heavy that it gives goosebumps to just kick it.

It was clear that he accelerated with wind magic and flew away.

‘The utilization of magic is different from other wizards… … !’

He’s a guy who can’t be careless.

bang! bang! bang!

I hit the stone with my sword and ran at him.

Even though his eyes were on me, he kept moving back and forth in case she ran away.

‘What on earth is that thing so obsessed with?’

During the auction, the item that Gongxia bought was a ring called ‘Blue Eye’, which was studded with brilliant blue jewels.

The unusual thing is that there is a dark sphere embedded in the middle of a spherical blue jewel, which looks like an pupil, so it is said that the name blue eye was given.

It is clear that Flake also participated in the auction house aiming for it.

‘First of all, it looks pretty desperate, so let’s use that.’

I dug inward and hit the sword with a seed slash, and the guy bent his back all the way to avoid it.

A movement that cannot be considered a magician at all.

At the same time, the stems of thunderbolts extending from both hands flood me from side to side.

Dismissed!!

The right stem was cut off, but the left stem bent like a whip and wrapped around the left arm.

“Run away! hurry! Whoops!”

It looks like he is trying to save even a woman who is in danger.

She flinched, looked into my eyes, nodded, and turned around.

‘good.’

I was worried if I would stop and stay still, but fortunately, she accurately noticed my intentions and moved.

I sent energy to my left arm to hold on, but then my left arm started to feel numb.

“Where!!”

Flake’s eyes widen and he releases the thunderbolt, then turns his back on me and heads towards Gongxia.

‘As expected, that bastard, the traits of a madman must be working on those blue eyes right now.’

That attitude of taking things without looking back.

I kicked off the ground and ran to him, raising my spiritual power.

[Spell of Debilitation]

The Eternal Stone of Chohon is dyed red, and an evil spirit emerges from it and wraps around Flake’s entire body.

“what!”

Flake panicked at his body, which suddenly couldn’t move on his own.

I immediately caught up with him and swung his first soul, knocking off his entire right shoulder and arm.

“Khaaa!!”

Blood dripped from Flake’s shoulder as he screamed and rolled on the ground.

The screaming man’s face flushed red, and soon the blood began to clump together as if it were alive and moving like a moment ago.

‘This time… … . Is that blood magic a condition that it activates when the body is injured?’

The movement of the wriggling blood is somehow ominous.

I wanted to slit his head on the spot, but I couldn’t come close to the intuition that I would be harmed if I approached that man full of madness.

“I think we should get out of here first.”

“That, it is.”

From nob le mtl dot com

Gongxia, who answered with a stutter, ran after me, as if the appearance of the flakes was bizarre even for her.

Kwagwagwagwa!!

Another explosion occurred from above.

The ceiling collapsed behind us as we ran through the collapsed cavity, where Flake fell.

“I’m going to kill you aaa!!”

A high voice can be heard between the rising dust and the pouring piles of stones.

‘Let’s not really see each other again.’

With a tired face, Gongxia and I shook our heads and headed outside.

Fortunately, this floor had a path to the outer wall, and at the end of it, the outside could be seen through the collapsed wall.

“It is a little high. It’s hard to go down like this.”

“Just go.”

Even though it was about 5 stories high, Gongsia grabbed me by the back of my back and jumped outside as if she didn’t mind.

‘This… … .’

The wind gathered around Gongxia and gathered to the floor, completely absorbing the impact of the fall.

Having landed safely, I looked at her with a puzzled face.

When she saw my expression, she smiled and walked towards the fallen escort.

“Den.”

“It will be fine. Because I healed you.”

Frances was standing next to Den as if he had safely escaped from the building with Den.

From nob le mtl dot com

Gongxia stared at Frances like that, then reached out and grabbed her hand.

“thanks. What is your name?”

“Francis.”

“Remember. both of you.”

“What is your true identity?”

She came up to my question.

Then he took off the mask that was covering his face and showed it only to us.

Purple hair and jeweled purple eyes.

A smile full of dignity along with harmonious features.

“… … no way.”

“Shh. It came secretly, so be quiet.”

She put the mask back on and woke the escort.

Curiously, she caressed the guard’s cheek, and he woke up with a flash.

“Go, ball… … .”

“Den. wake up My business is over.”

“yes.”

Den hastily got up and pulled himself together.

“If you come to Rosaria, I will treat you properly.”

Before Gong Xia left, he looked back at us, spoke softly, and disappeared among the crowd.
