72 – Cave Exploration

Pink-colored hair, uniquely large breasts among Roel’s heroines, and skin transparent enough to show thread veins. Beautiful appearance and genius alchemy ability.

Rosalind was the character I had the most affection for, and she had a lot of high-level fan art that I couldn’t post on public notices. The sight of her blushing as she looked at me made her feel very strange, and she cleared her throat for some reason.

“Keuheum, it’s not strange….”

In order to spread the cure for stone thorn disease Lawton left me to many people, Rosalyn’s help was essential.

I added a brief explanation of stone prickly disease and a request to make a large quantity of cure.

“This is a cure that will save many people.”

At my words, Rosalyn’s eyes lit up. Although she showed a maniacal obsession with Roel, she was basically a good person.

“Will you trust me this time?”

At her teasing question, Rosalyn pursed her lips and nodded her head.

“Okay. It’s about saving people, so of course you have to help.”

Having faith in Rosalyn’s serious expression, I immediately handed over the box containing the research materials and medicines Lawton had left behind in the space warehouse.

“Wow, that’s a lot of data….”

It was a material that Lawton had studied all his life, so the amount was considerable. After looking at the contents of her contents, Rosalind looked a bit fed up. After saying good-bye to Rosalind, I parted ways with Rosalind and headed straight to Bella’s lab.

If it was the naive Rosalind, it was clear that she would fall for Bella’s flamboyant speech again. She thought she’d be better off putting her hand down before Bella did her dog.

The current Crown Princess, Crane La Bella, has fine, gray hair unique to the Crane Imperial Family and a look worthy of being called a peerless beauty.

If you look at her golden eyes in a place where the warm sun is shining, any man would be inundated with s*xual desire.

Her

Because of her beautiful appearance, she was targeted by her siblings since she was a child, but rather, her Bella used her appearance as her own weapon based on her outstanding wisdom.

Her golden eyes drew her dark lines, and when she smiled softly, I thought that anyone would want to protect her.

Her sweet smile and her soft voice allowed her Bella to hide her true face and make her look like a lovely girl.

People who don’t know her Bella’s real face easily confide in her. She became easy prey.

However, I knew better than anyone the monster behind that beauty, so I couldn’t be fooled.

“Okay, what happened again this time?”

The look of Bella sitting in her chair and looking at me with her arms crossed, as if expressing with her whole body that she was not happy. I sat down on the opposite side and went straight to the point.

“You didn’t forget to do me a favor before, did you?”

You don’t want to give me the Spear of Ruin, when you tested me with the word insurance. Instead of taking the test, I said to do a favor as a reward.

“Of course I remember.”

Bella replied, raising one corner of her mouth.

I’m talking about entrusting Rosalyn with the cure, and when her research is over. She asked Lawton to be credited with distributing and creating a cure for stone thorn disease.

After listening to me, Bella asked a few questions about her cure. She nodded.

“Okay, if Rosalyn finds a way to mass-produce the cure, I’ll distribute it to the people.”

As I gave a satisfied smile at Bella’s cool answer, Bella asked abruptly.

“But have you ever thought about that? If you use the stone thorn disease cure to use stone thorn disease, I think it will be a very good weapon.”

Bella’s golden eyes shone dangerously like snakes.

“This is a cure. It is not a weapon.”

What dangerous thoughts does Bella have? Let’s expect it, answer with a straight face.

A sneer appeared on Bella’s face.

“Don’t take it emotionally as my opinion, think carefully. If you use it against the barbarians in the north or the demons and monsters in the eastern border, you can save a lot of people’s sacrifices.”

Putting other people’s lives on the scales, Bella offered her sweet offer, but I shook my head.

“One man gave his life for a cure. I believed that it would be used for everyone and handed it over to me. But how about using it as a weapon? Don’t taint Lawton’s will.”

“Roel would have accepted my offer. It is the best way to reduce the sacrifice of allies and maximize the damage of the enemy.”

I couldn’t argue with Bella’s words. Because that was true.

Roel is a warrior and a hero who saves the world. He wasn’t stupid. He sometimes used his power to crush his enemies, and even sacrificed a few for the cause.

In the first place, this novel started with the intention of writing a warrior story.

Like most of all heroes, Roel couldn’t escape from the framework of utilitarianism unique to a hero.

A warrior who fights for everyone’s happiness. For the sake of maximum happiness, we believe that personal sacrifice is unavoidable.

So, for Roel’s dream of becoming a hero. He chose his growth rather than helping me who was crumbling next to him.

Bella added her words with a snake smile.

“That is the crucial difference between Roel and you.”

I growled at Bella who said that.

“Don’t talk nonsense and keep your promise.”

“You say you developed a cure to help people get out of pain, but you don’t want to save more people’s lives. Don’t you think it’s a contradiction?”

Bella looked at me with her childlike innocent face.

I leaned over and whispered to Bella.

“What?”

“What… ?”

As if not expecting my words, Bella stupidly asked back.

“Like you said, I’m different from my older brother. My priority is the one I know, rather than tens of thousands of unknown people.”

If I could use Stone Thorn to prevent a future eastern border massacre, I would have accepted Bella’s offer.

However, the Imperial Palace was now overflowing with followers of the Church. Even if Bella doesn’t use it elsewhere, if they have a weapon called Stone Thorn in their hands. Uncontrollable chaos will come to the continent.

Ever since I became greedy to become a lover with Luna, I set a clear goal of becoming stronger for the sake of my precious person.

Now I can’t be a hero who can save everyone like Roel. Because just protecting the people around you wasn’t enough.

That doesn’t mean he broke his promise to become a hero. It’s just that he has no intention of giving up something precious to become a hero like Roel.

I stood up from my seat, looking at Bella with a puzzled look on her face.

“Did you even lean on me when I said I was trash?”

Saying that as if laughing. I left Bella glaring at me and left her lab.

Because of Bella’s personality, she will always keep her promises, and what Lawton left her with me will soon be resolved.

***

It was the weekend that promised to explore the caves.

All the members who had finished preparing for the expedition in advance gathered in the club room.

“Okay. Shall we move?”

Lakard and I lifted the wardrobe and moved it against the wall of the bed.

Arya immediately opened her closet door with a click.

Stopping Arya, who was about to run to the Erado Cave, I told her crew.

“Because I don’t know what’s inside. Everyone thinks it’s practice and gets nervous.”

At my words, the members nodded.

That’s what I said, but it didn’t seem particularly dangerous. Wouldn’t it be a place to rest like an island or a snowy mountain?

Lacar, carrying the lamp for the cave prepared by Kane, entered the closet first.

After that, the members headed to the closet, and I entered the closet with a lamp at the end.

The inside of the cave was smaller than I thought. The two could pass if shoulder to shoulder, but I didn’t feel the need to.

“Okay, first of all, it’s time for Luna to play an active part like the last practice.”

At my words, Luna gave a pretty smile and nodded her head.

Taking her chalk from her bosom, Luna drew her magic circle on her floor and used her guide magic.

“If you go all the way…. It opens up a lot of space.”

Arya let out her snort, probably excited by Luna’s words.

“Space?! Isn’t there a treasure there?”

Seeing Aria as if she was about to run away at any moment, Kane quickly grabbed Aria’s shoulder.

“Because I told you to go in. Let’s move to a position during practice.”

With Lacard at the forefront, we headed into the cave. It felt like a tunnel that someone dug artificially, so there was nothing to see inside the cave.

There is no other way to fall, so let’s walk straight. Before long, the gigantic space Luna had spoken of appeared.

As we stepped in, a light came in from somewhere to illuminate the interior.

“Wow, what is this… !”

Arya’s eyes widened. The rest of the crew also admired her with their mouths open.

There was a huge temple that seemed to have been carved out of the entire cave. And inside, there was a huge stone door reaching the ceiling that could be seen from afar.

Looking around, we headed for the temple. There was nothing inside, just the road to the stone door.

“Isn’t this the only way?”

The cave was much shorter than I thought. I came out of the closet and arrived in less than 3 minutes.

Lakkar said after checking if there was a way to go somewhere else.

“Isn’t it possible to go through that door to another path?”

Lakhar looked a little more excited than usual, as if his adventurous spirit had been stimulated by the magnificent stone gate.

“I don’t know what’s behind the door. Let’s disperse and check the surroundings first.”

As I scattered and looked around, I heard Arya’s cry.

“What is here!!!”

Arya waved her hands up and down her, telling her to come quickly, as if she had found something on her door.

When all the scattered members gathered, Arya shrugged her shoulders and pointed at what she had found.

“Look at this! It is an ancient language!”

The unknown letters written on the doorpost must have been in an ancient language.

But since it was an ancient language, everyone didn’t know what it was written in. When you are thinking about whether you have to open the door and go in. Suddenly, Luna stepped out.

“Joe, it’s a little bit, but I can interpret ancient languages… ! This….”

Luna, who was looking at the letters on the doorpost, muttered after a while.

“… The room of trials?”

Cane interrupted just before Luna finished speaking.

“Okay. Get some stuff out of the manager’s storage, we’ll go camping.”

Unlike Kane, who gave up right away, perhaps thinking that the word trial would bother her, Aria was more energetic than ever.

“The room of trials!!! If you endure the trials, there will surely be great rewards… !”

“It’s camping!!!”

As if Arya couldn’t hear Kane’s screams, she took out her wand and finished preparing to face her ordeal.

“You can do it after camping!”

Kane looked at me with a sullen expression at Aria’s words. Well, I came all the way here, but it was a pity that I only went camping.

If it’s an ordeal, I don’t think it’s that dangerous.

“Okay, we’ve come this far, but we can’t stop going in. Are you all ready?”

When I said that while taking out the Spear of Destruction from the Space Warehouse, everyone nodded vigorously.

“Now then, the third activity of the Messiah Club. Break through the room of trials! Let’s get started!”

Actually, I was a little excited too. A temple of such a gigantic size that is impossible except in fantasy, and a magnificent door to the room of trials that exists in it… ! What kind of man could stand this.

When I put my hand on the door with the members, the majestic stone door opened by itself and bright light poured in from the inside, and my eyes closed by themselves.

When I opened my closed eyes, I was standing alone in a wide area that looked like the basement of the temple, with the members by my side gone.

“What is it?”

As soon as I was about to hear my worries about the missing members, they appeared with the sound of cute footsteps.

Unlike the sound of cute footsteps, it came clattering in red armor….

“Raccoon?!”

It was a one-eyed raccoon holding a spear taller than its own.
