Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

changing air.

A cold air that seems like it will stop breathing at any moment surrounds the space.

“What, what? no… … , Ren?”

Confused by Layton’s words, Jennon looked at me.

– Oh, father! no! That’s Spencer Travis! father!

Spencer tried to stop Layton with a puzzled face, but Spencer’s voice did not reach Layton.

“They said they would cut their throats if I lied to them.”

He approaches, staring at me.

My heart started beating like crazy.

Do you feel this kind of pressure when facing the sword of a high-ranking knight?

“If you have a mouth, tell me.”

his sword strikes

A white chill began to settle over my body.

“Looks like you have nothing to say.”

– No, no, no, no!!

“Lee Een!!”

Huung-

“… … .”

“… … .”

A cold wind hit my face.

Layton’s sword stopped in front of my eyes.

Through his sword, Layton’s eyes are visible. He was looking at me like he was going to eat me.

“I knew you would stop.”

“yes.”

“Why?”

“Because he is Spencer.”

A very fleeting agitation appeared in his eyes.

The air in the atmosphere returned to normal. The momentum that seemed like it would kill me disappeared in an instant.

“How did you know this skeleton was Spencer?”

At that question, I slightly turned my head and glanced at the others.

Seeing this, Layton nodded and sent the others outside.

“A friend with many secrets. Are you done now?”

“yes.”

“Tell me.”

“I am a gravekeeper. Honor the spirits of the spirits and manage their resting places. I sometimes hear the voices of the ghosts.”

“I hear a voice… … .”

He had a look of disbelief on his face, but he quickly nodded.

“Then can I ask when was the first present Spencer received from me as a child?”

I just listened to him and shifted my gaze.

Spencer was listening to him, so there was no need to say anything else.

– It was hard bread made by my father. They say you have to eat these things when you go out into the world.

He smiled at the memory and said.

I told Layton exactly what he said.

“… … Huh, really, really.”

Since he even copied Spencer’s way of speaking, he would have no choice but to believe it even if he didn’t want to believe it.

“Don’t you think I killed and staged a play?”

“It can’t be. Spencer is strong. He is not a person to be beaten by the gravekeepers of the hills behind him. Besides, I have no reason to tell you this.”

– right.

Spencer added an explanation to Layton’s words.

– Those who killed me are black magicians. It suddenly attacked and blocked my ability with an unknown force.

“Why did the warlocks attack you?”

At my sudden words, Layton tries to say something, but then shuts his mouth.

This guy is good because he’s quick-witted.

– I don’t know either. However, he said he was looking for a test subject for a certain ritual. This tomb is also part of that ritual.

[Main Quest – Traces of the Warlock]

[The warlocks are plotting something. Find their traces.]

– Traces of the Warlock 0/3

Suddenly, the main quest appeared. This is the first time since the last quest to defeat the grave robbers.

‘What the hell is it? Is it related to the warlock?’

There was no reward this time.

I feel like I’m losing my motivation.

[“Sub-Quest – A Request from a Missing Person” has been resolved.]

[Acquire 「Agility +0.4, Spirituality +0.3」.]

All of a sudden, my enthusiasm welled up.

“Is the story over?”

Leighton asked me.

“yes. Warlocks seem to be behind this incident. They say they killed Spencer.”

“Black Mage… … , those damn things… … !”

A chill rages around him.

Even Layton, who is good at controlling his emotions, seemed unable to hold back his anger at this moment.

“Whoa… … , You looked unsightly.”

“it’s okay.”

“You belong to our family… , No, it’s like my benefactor. do you want something I’ll give you anything.”

Nothing comes to mind.

what should i get

In fact, Layton’s good feelings and good ties with the family were enough.

“I don’t want anything. It’s not something I wished for.”

“… … I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I do know this one thing. You are so different from the rumors.”

Layton stared at me. His wild, gleaming eyes yearned for the truth.

‘The face will be pierced.’

“Rumors are usually exaggerated.”

“If you are, then so be it. Anyway, it’s not my castle to not pay anything.”

“Then let me know if you find a decent graveyard.”

“Why a graveyard?”

“Because that is my job. I want to see the new graveyard.”

Rather than work, it is to find ghosts.

Because in order for me to grow up, I have to relieve the resentment of the ghosts sleeping in the graveyard.

“Kuh, this is the first time I’ve heard a request like this. good night. But that’s not enough. I will take care of delivering the reward separately.”

I should accept this

“thank you.”

Only then did Layton smile with satisfaction.

Huong- Huong-

The sound of the blade cutting through the wind echoed through the Decane.

In the dark night sky, where only the moonlight falls sparsely, Rayman still wields his sword.

“Ha, is it still far away?”

Recalling Ren’s fantastic swordsmanship he had seen during the day, Rayman looked at the pile of straw lying around.

Looking at the smooth cross-section of the exactly horizontally cut pile still makes my heart thump.

The sword that flows smoothly becomes heavy at the point of impact.

Looking at that smooth cutting surface, he felt ashamed of his own swordsmanship.

“Will I be like the shooter someday?”

– You’re getting sick.

Havenberg, who was listening to Rayman’s self-talk, shook his head.

The perfect horizontal slash Ren showed during the day was a swordsmanship that Havenberg had mastered.

It was difficult to use horizontal slashing perfectly, so I learned to feel it through the ganglyeong.

– Well, that’s not a bad thing.

It’s a good thing to see Ren’s achievements and develop a sense of improvement.

At first seeing Rayman’s attitude, Havenberg did not like him very much, but his sincere attitude towards the sword changed his mind a little.

Booth’s-

Suddenly you hear the grass shaking.

Rayman turned his head to find the source of the sound.

‘The wind is not blowing… … .’

Did the shooter come up?

Thinking of doing that, Raymon hardened his expression and grabbed his sword.

It can’t be.

The shooter said he would definitely come in the morning.

‘Could it be that the grave robber I mentioned back then is back?’

Obviously, the shooter said that he was a master of sword skill expression.

Of course, that swordsmanship was not good, but just being able to express swordsmanship made the current Rayman an opponent he could not win.

gulp-

Tension runs down your throat.

Repeated contraction and relaxation of the muscles throughout the body.

Two black figures emerged from the grass.

“Thank God, he’s not there.”

“My dear, why is the mountain road so rough? You fell off a cliff and tore your clothes!”

The spiky-haired man screams in annoyance.

The giant next to him is holding his sword tightly as if he is wary of something from the moment he jumps out.

‘It’s definitely the grave robber the shooter said.’

can i win

Obviously, the shooter asked me to protect Decaine, but hardships are expected.

“What are you?”

The giant asked Rayman.

“What are you? Why are you intruding into other people’s workplaces and making a fuss?”

“workshop? Aha, you must be the gravekeeper who works here?”

“Also, look! Didn’t I say he wasn’t a gravekeeper here?”

“Right.”

Rayman, who listened to the two of them, immediately realized that the gravekeeper they were talking about was his shooter.

“I am not a gravekeeper here. this bastard.”

“what?”

“I’m just an assistant shooter who recently ran away after some idiots came here to help. Our shooter will be coming soon.”

Rayman pretended to be relaxed and continued talking leisurely.

In fact, Ren doesn’t come. After training during the day, I decided to rest at home tonight.

“Hey, you’re the big guy who came here last time, right? He said his arm became a rag… … , Did you manage to get treatment and come back?”

The grave robbers frowned at Raymon’s characteristic blunt tone.

“Ha, the young bastard… … .”

“Should I fix that guy’s tone?”

Grave robbers began to approach, grinding their teeth.

‘this… Isn’t that a reaction?’

You should be scared to hear that the shooter is coming up, but the reaction of the grave robbers is strange.

Rayman did not recognize that he had tempered them.

“Ooh, our gunner is coming?”

“This bastard! Where do you hit a ridiculous phrase? Why is such a master doing grave work like this here!”

“Has the master at least spoken to the kingdom? Brilliant said he lost interest in Decaine, so it’s true, seeing as he’s set up a guy like you.”

Rayman hardened his expression and gritted his teeth.

I have no choice but to fight.

2:1 situation.

The big guy is holding a sword, but the spiky hair is holding no weapon, as if he’s not paying attention.

‘First bread victory!’

Rayman dragged the two of them pretending to step back, then suddenly changed direction and pounced on the head.

“Get lost!”

The diagonal slash that we trained every day.

Place your body on the ground and swing while holding the center with your lower body.

Whoa-

Squeak-!

“hahahaha!”

He parted the front of his pouty hair and parted his chest long.

damn, sorry

It was a bit shallow. I was able to cripple it at once, but the pouting head reacted faster than I thought.

At that time, the giant’s machete rushed in.

Chaeyoung-!

puck!

“Kueek!!”

I blocked the sword in an awkward posture, then the guard was released and I kicked the pit with my foot.

can’t breathe

It looks like two ribs came out.

‘Damn, is this how I die… … .’

The opportunity to learn proper swordsmanship has finally arrived… … .

“That bastard… … Kill them!”

“i get it. you have to kill it anyway Otherwise he might find out we’re here again.”

The giant’s machete is lifted into the sky.

Are you going to die like this?

I don’t want to die. I want to live a little longer and learn the sword!

‘Yes, let’s not give up like this.’

Rayman tightly gripped the sword that he hadn’t let go of until the end.

Machete comes down.

He thinks that the game has already turned, and he is not paying attention.

‘now!’

Only one chance.

Give my bones and take the opponent’s life!

Rayman dug in and shoved his shoulder into the machete.

“This crazy… … !”

The machete dug into his shoulder. The giant glared at him with a bewildered face.

‘Win. In this gap, he thrusts his sword and cuts the opponent’s heart… … .’

Quadruped!!

“Haaa!!”

The sword spirit shimmering over the sword slashed through his shoulder and spurted out, striking Rayman’s sword away.

Rayman rolled across the floor with his shoulders in rags.

If it was a real swordsmanship, his body would have split in half.

“You cheeky bastard. You kill me properly.”

Tuduk.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking branches came from behind.

When the giant looked back, a familiar human was standing on a tree branch.

‘Then that master… … ?’

The giant’s eyes grew wide.

“These ruined babies… … !”

Climbing the Decane, Ren looked at the grave robbers with a distorted face like a demon.

* * *

When I came down to the house, I couldn’t rest comfortably at home because of the constant feeling of anxiety.

So I climbed the Decane late at night.

Could it be that I have stayed in Decane for too long? Decane’s soft dirt seemed more comfortable to sleep in now.

“uh?”

As we near Decane, we hear a sound coming from inside.

At first I thought it must be the sound of Rayman training, but it wasn’t.

‘no way… … ?’

I hurriedly jumped up and saw a familiar giant.

And even the image of Rayman lying on the floor bleeding.

“These ruined babies… … !”

Anger welled up.

What the hell is there in this graveyard that keeps coming back and bothering us?

This time, I thought that I should definitely deal with those grave robbers.

“Don’t make me regret coming here again.”
