The Marquis Is a Master of Martial Arts

Chapter 23

[Ha, I heard reports that you look fine, but I wanted to hear and see for myself. I wanted to find you, but…]

“…”

I didn’t know that the Marquis of Rocks would worry this much, so I had nothing to say.

[They said you saved Ilia’s life and ended the life of an orc fighter, is that true?]

“Yes. I was lucky.”

[It’s luck… Anyway, it’s fortunate. Did you get the weapon?]

“We got weapons and we got people.”

[person?]

“Yes. I found an excellent blacksmith.”

The Marquis tilted his head as if it were absurd.

[Well, I’m going to come here and listen to your story slowly. When are you planning to come back?]

“I’ll go back to the sand.”

[Morara, then that’s great. Bring your little brother.]

“yes?”

“Suddenly, why are you bringing your younger siblings?”

Willington Rocks has three sons. Except for me, the other two younger siblings were attending different knight schools.

“You should have called yourself.”

The Marquis said he had something important to say and ordered me to bring all my younger siblings, but I knew what he was going to say.

The next morning, using the Marquis of Willington’s excuse to shake off Ilia and Rayan who were trying to capture me, I left the Marcus Marcus family and climbed a mountain in the Marquis’ territory.

“It’s convenient because there is a road.”

“That’s right. There are a lot of people here.”

Because it is a road used by many people, there are no grass and no stones to get in the way, so I was able to climb the mountain comfortably.

“Giranox, have you been here?”

“Of course. I came before the smithy opened.”

I was going up the mountain with Giranox, and he was going up the mountain at a familiar pace, as if he had been here before.

“By the way, did the Archduke come here to make a wish?”

“Wish? No, I’m here to find treasure.”

“A treasure?”

“okay.”

I slowly climbed the mountain while chatting with Giranox. It’s a tourist spot, so there were a lot of people passing by.

“With so many people, will there be treasure left?”

“Of course. There are many secrets in the world.”

“Ah! We have arrived. Grand Duke. Over there is Shinryong Cave.”

When we reached the middle of the mountain, people were standing in line in front of a huge cave.

“There are still a lot of people.”

Sinryong Cave is a cave where the legend of the dragon god lived. In fact, the cave had a huge entrance so that it could be said that a dragon lived there.

People who came here came to make various wishes to the ascended dragon god. Giranox must have come here to pray for the prosperity of the smithy.

“Not here.”

“yes?”

“It’s all nonsense and fake.”

“It’s fake…”

I didn’t come to make a wish like they did, so I broke away from their line and turned to the right side of the cave.

“Where are you going, Archduke?”

“I told you. It’s empty. We have to find the treasure. I wonder where it will be.”

I slowly circled around the cave and started looking for the trail I was looking for.

From noble mtl dot com

You just need to find a half-moon shaped hole…

I looked around for a while, but I couldn’t see the hole in the shape I was looking for.

As I thought about going back, I saw a hole in the shape of a half moon slightly turned.

“Is that it?”

I looked around and made sure no one was there before putting my hand through the hole.

Click!

Inside, there was something like a handle that you could put your hand on, but I grabbed the handle and pulled it like pulling a car door.

rattle!

coo goo.

“Wow! What is this?”

I felt a slight vibration in the wall that only I could tell by touching it, and a square hole large enough for one person to pass through appeared in the wall.

“Duke Archduke, what the hell is this hole!”

Those who made a wish at the Sinryong Cave were no different from bowing to an ordinary hole. That hole has nothing to do with the serpent, let alone the dragon god.

“The true treasure of this place is here.”

Sinryong Cave (2)

“Uh, Grand Duke over there. What the hell is this place?”

“What is it? It’s a cave. Go in quickly.”

“Ah yes.”

Giranox scratched the back of his head and entered the open door. I checked my surroundings once more and went inside.

coo goo goo

As if there was some kind of sensor, the door closed on its own after the two of us entered.

Tak Tak Tak Tak

The cave, which had been dark until a while ago, heard the sound of a fluorescent light turning on as soon as the door closed, and a shimmering light began to emerge from the ceiling.

“Wow, I’ve never seen anything like this. Grand Duke…”

“It’s because you’re a country boy. This kind of thing is common.”

“Uh, that’s right…”

[It’s common. What are you really doing!]

‘what.’

Agnes has been talking to me for the first time in a while. There was an indescribable surprise in her voice.

[How do you know a place like this!]

‘The Great Prophet told me’

[You’re laughing. Is the great prophet Hogu? Shall I tell you everything? They don’t care about status, class or money. Even if you’re not the son of the Marquis, even if you’re the Marquis, you won’t get this much information.]

‘Is it true?’

[Profit you!]

Agnes is more perceptive than I thought.

[Hey, you son of a b*tch, tell me!]

“hehehehe.”

I continued down the road, humming away Agnes’ question.

“Giranox.”

“yes.”

I stopped walking at a place where a large round wall protruded and called Giranox.

“Do you know where this is?”

“well?”

“The place you guys call Sinryong Cave is right next to it.”

He said while hitting the whole wall protruding round beside him.

“yes?”

“The walls are a bit thick, but if you cross this place, it’s a place where people make wishes and bow.”

“Well, then…”

“They’re begging you and me now.”

“Eek!”

Thanks to the sense of inner strength, I could feel the people behind the wall bowing, and something made me laugh.

“Most of the things that are popular legends don’t really matter if you look at them in real life.”

As I tried to confuse many things while writing the novel, the legend was not really a big deal, and the light things that were common in the neighborhood became heavy.

“But I heard that there are traps in places like this…”

“Come out now.”

The trap here begins now. The trap’s purpose is to check rather than repel intruders, so there shouldn’t be anything special about it.

“Don’t step on it. Can you see it?”

“Ah yes!”

Giranox listened to me and barely avoided the stone that was so blatantly protruding.

“What if I step on this?”

“This whole place will become an inferno.”

“hehehehe?”

It means the trap is simple, and it could be really dangerous after stepping on it, so I paid close attention.

“It’s arrived.”

Arriving at the end of the road, an empty space appeared without a door.

“Uh, huh?”

“hmm…”

Nothing could be seen in the room. It looked like an empty cave.

“Nothing special.”

“hahahaha! Is that so?”

Unlike Giranox, I was relieved. The story was changed, so I didn’t know who would have been here, but fortunately no one came.

In the middle of the cave, there was a hole similar to the one I pulled open when entering this cave.

rattle.

As I put my hand inside the hole, I felt a handle I could pull and pulled it straight away.

coo goo…

“Oh oh!”

As soon as the handle was pulled, the ground split open and a low stone table began to rise.

On the table was a luxurious-looking golden pouch and a small box for rings from the Gold and Silver Chamber.

Click.

When I went to the table and opened the small box, a warm and refreshing scent filled the room. It contained a golden orb.

“Right.”

[This, this…]

“Oh, do you know this?”

[Once upon a time, my master ate this. It’s a warrior’s jade!]

It was new that he ate this marble because Agnes’s former owner had never been properly set up.

As you can tell just by looking at the name, the Warrior’s Jade was an item related to battle.

In the past, if the Sichuan Dangga trait was not unlocked to the end, I had thought of finding it and eating it to learn the sword.

The Warrior’s Jade is an item that transforms any trash body into a body that is best suited for battle. The strength, flexibility, and agility of the body rise all at once to the point where they no longer rise.

Simply put, it creates extreme physical.

“Good good.”

I put the warrior’s jade in my pocket and this time I lifted the golden pouch next to me.

“where…”

When I looked inside the pouch, I could see a sea of gold. There were so many gold coins that I couldn’t use all my life.

“I tried!”

“What’s inside, Grand Duke?”

Cheer up!

Instead of answering Giranox’s words, he grabbed a gold coin from his pocket and threw it into the air like pollen.

“wow!”

Each magic bag has a different capacity for each grade, but the golden bag, the highest grade, can hold two container boxes.

This pouch contained the equivalent of a container box worth of gold coins. I smirked and threw gold coins into the air a few more times.

Oops, the spine suddenly…

Suddenly, I felt a creepy sensation running down my spine.

It’s the first time I’ve felt like this, but I need to get out quickly.

“Hey, pick up the gold coins quickly.”

“Eek! Why did you sprinkle what you were told to pick up?”

“Honey, if you pick up gold coins, it’s natural to scatter them!”

“Is that so…”

Giranox made a puzzled expression, but picked up the gold coin without saying anything.

“You have it. Just in case you need it.”

“Hey, you, there are too many of them.”

The gold coins Giranox picked up were many times more than what I gave him when I cleaned up his shop.

“Okay, take it.”

“thank you.”

“Now that we’ve done our business, let’s go.”

“yes.”

This is one of the bases of an organization that has existed since ancient times. It was made in case they lose their power, but in the novel, a herbalist who accidentally visits this place gains this power.

I didn’t want to run into herbalists or those demons, so I thought it would be better to leave quickly.

Giranox and I immediately left the cave and went down the mountain. Still the mountain was crowded with people going up and down.

Coming down the mountain, there were souvenir shops and several taverns scattered around, so it was so crowded that there was no space to step on.

“It’s too complicated, Grand Duke, so why don’t you move somewhere else?”

“Let it be.”

uh?

As Giranox said, it was time to try to get out of a complicated place.

Naturally, all my senses were focused on one woman. Sight, hearing, and smell all turned to her as if for granted.

She had an overwhelming beauty that made all the humans in existence her bridesmaids. If Ilya had a neat charm, this woman had an enchanting fragrance that attracted the world.

Why, why does no one know!

No matter how complex it was, no one looked at this woman of absolute beauty. She was heading towards the mountain with a provocative gait, as if she were alone in the world.

No way that woman!

After seeing this strange phenomenon, it seemed that I now knew who she was.

Quick!

He tried to quickly look away, but he met her eyes for a second. At that moment, a dizziness came as if the soul would escape.

Pretend you don’t know, pretend you don’t know

He gnawed his teeth hard enough to break them.

“Hey, is there any bar where the snacks are good?”

“I heard from the side of the mountain earlier that the dragon king’s rest is fine.”

“Then shall we have a drink there?”

“really?”

Pretending not to know anything, I spoke to Giranox.

“Okay. Let’s have a drink there.”
