The black hair maidservant hears the words of mistress, some accidents/surprises opened the eye: „Ancestral Tomb? But Holy Ghost festival already......”
„For the sacrificial offering ancestor,” Victoria did not shout the tone, „prepares, Maggie.”
Maggie calmly looked at mistress one eyes, has not inquired about again, but dangles to go slightly: „Yes, I understood.”
On such as buries in Southern Region Cecil old castle underground Gawain finally? Cecil is the same, the Ainz four boundary Founding Duke imperial mausoleums establish on land that finally, in they have protected, protects the northern hills „winter Duke” Snow? Wilde the institute of deep sleep, is built on summit of Northern Region hills Coldwinter Castle in this underground.
Across the Coldwinter Castle most lower-level cave, passes through that deepest solemn and respectful black corridor, was this castle most ancient and dignified imperial mausoleum region, the Wilde Family all previous heads of household has built their broad fortresses by the huge manpower and resources in the summit, but will have nearly 50% manpower and resources, used, in maintaining this depth buried in the imperial mausoleum in mountain massif.
Wilde Family ancestor not like Gawain? Cecil such once obtained the favor of strength of element, the Coldwinter Castle following imperial mausoleum completely depends upon generations of formidable human mage to exert the element blessing to consolidate with the manpower, was intact has preserved seven centuries.
Victoria? Wilde has walked into the mausoleum chamber accompanied by maidservant Maggie, in addition has not brought any unnecessary accompanying.
The magic crystal lamp of embed on wall poured into mana, sends out the gloomy and constant brilliance: For does not alarm the ancestor, magic crystal in imperial mausoleum is the special design, its brightness only then about the half of ordinary magic crystal lamp. Under this slightly dim light, the inclined downward mausoleum chamber slopeway extends the advancing side dim dark deep place in the line of sight of Duchess, looks like indistinctly, frightening.
But Victoria to like this dim and does not care, she takes footsteps stand forth.
The wall that soul suppressing stone brick builds retreats in her side backward, the firm stone tablet steps and boots collision send out the empty echo, reverberates in this entire fortress most ancient road, Victoria has a feeling, she as if in counter the path of time is moving toward-- she goes forward in this ancient road every time 100 meters, then recalled 100 years of time, she has passed through Mist Month Civil War, has passed through the Ainz last meridian, has passed through the dynasty reform, has passed through the year of abundant reality, finally...... Arrives for 700 years ago, arrives in this country and this family initial beginning.
The imperial mausoleum main hall of rectangle arrived, before maidservant Maggie arrives at hall entrance nearby stone column silently, the hand according to the metal disc of stone column surface, along with mana irrigation, the magic crystal lamp that in the hall various places mount also one by one shines, makes dark hall to fluctuate regards sufficiently luminous.
The portrait of Wilde all previous dynasties head of household is hanging on the hall wall, from the first generation „winter Grand Duke Snow? Wilde”, to the Victoria father, everyone has the same silver hair and serious face, they are hanging down slightly the eyelid, seems using the serious line of sight to gaze is walking into visit in hall, Victoria? Wilde is greeting the gaze of this in pairs eye confidently, and saw that inscribes that line on wall to teach the word ancient:
„We are the Ainz last barrier”
The line of sight of Victoria has swept on the face of ancestors slowly, finally falls on own father's body, her vision stayed on this dignified old Duke was very long, in a low voice said: Such that „father, really such as you expect, the Second Dynasty hidden danger erupted eventually...... Where perhaps but you cannot expect in this chaotic tide the biggest variable from......”
Silent a moment later, Duchess raised the head, told to maidservant: „You exit first, I need to live alone.”
Was the black hair maidservant silent was withdrawing from hall, Victoria? Wilde taking a step stand forth.
Before she arrives at the hall end lithical platform,-- this platform has about half person of high, as if a broad tabletop, the platform surroundings inscribe mysterious rune and pattern, but platform surface actually bright and clean like mirror, cannot see any cosmetic trace.
In hesitant a moment later, Duchess places in the hand the platform, read the ancient incantation in a low voice.
mana in air surges, around platform rune lightens one after another, that bright and clean such as the floor of mirror starts to ripple like the water unexpectedly, along with a piece of cream glimmer, about one foot square, the silver-white metal plate the platform surface that rippled from that floated.
This metal plate was sealed unexpectedly in the compact stone.
Victoria takes up this metal plate-- it is not heavy, moreover is very thin, the metal plate edge can see the hale and hearty cosmetic line, this is the typical Gondor style-- she is stroking gently the surface of metal plate, on that metal plate appears immediately the writing.
Charlie? Moren, the guide, the leader, protector, the person of kingdom foundation laying, we revere it are King.
Gawain? Cecil, the Lord of knight, Pioneer, the protector, the person of kingdom foundation laying, we revere it are the Southern Region protections.
Snow? Wilde, frost grasping, the protector of knowledge, Pioneer, the person of kingdom foundation laying, we revere it are the Northern Region protections.
Anthony? Loren, the Lord of soldier......
Always indifferent feel alienated, as if snow and ice queen inaccessible Northern Region Duchess, when saw that this metal plate will unable to bear reveal the awe the look, her vision has slid in the name of that brilliance, the mountain that behind this each name seems setting up being indomitable spirit, they are representing the cornerstone of this kingdom, is representing for 700 years ago that nearly destroys the strength that in the disaster of human civilization has risen to challenges, is representing...... This national initial treaty law.
This is a list, at the beginning is Ainz founds a nation the name lists of all founders, according to meritorious service and title arrangement, but it also incessantly is a list.
Victoria turns inside out the metal plate, at the back of the metal plate, a paragraph of writing appears clearly on that:
„...... If extinguishes the country disaster to erupt, or has beyond any help it, caused the King death or for various reasons but is unable to continue to protect the kingdom, in the situation of not available successor, the person of position name list inherited, wields the kingdom......”
700 years ago, that is a precarious age.
The life in the person of calm and steady peace period was very probably difficult to imagine human just to rush out wasteland, in wild ground built at the beginning of the kingdom was what kind of scene, even Victoria? Wilde , can only see the record about that years from the ancient ancient book, or hears some fragmentary one-sided descriptions from the mouth of a small number of immortal race, is actually not have the understanding of sympathize.
But each time in seeing this name list, as well as sees behind the name list the writing the time, at the beginning of she can imagine Ainz founds a nation, the kingdom that the ancestors maintain is how the crisis on top of crisis.
The magic tide complementary waves are attacking national territory unceasingly, finishes before Wall of Magnificence, to/clashes the monster that still in keeping attacking the world from Gondor Wasteland, even when the magic tide aura is richest, the Holy Spirit Plain center will have the large-scale corrosion baseless, until now, in St. Sunil City in the city wall in city, but also is retaining a black putrefication wall brick, silent writes about that period of dangerous time.
In that age, King will momentarily die, protects Duke momentarily dead, everyone momentarily will die.
Therefore had this name list, as well as behind name list „inherits rule urgently”.
But has thought before this never then such as some people that honor nature „Permanent Developement Right” some day will become effective, knows the person who this list perhaps from the start has not thought in this list really has a person to live suddenly......
Victoria? Wilde calmly is looking at the metal plate in hand, long time, she in a soft voice sighed, placed in the metal plate stone platform seriously, and reversed magic spell to get up it seal again.
After completing all these, she retroceded two steps, leaves the lithical platform, and turns around to observe the situation the entire hall.
By hall wall is arranging many stone door, after Shimenbei, is corridors, these corridors to lead to the different tomb chambers, some day, she will also lie down in some tomb chamber, her some heir will stand in the place that she stands now, similarly observes the situation here.
But may think deeply about different issue.
In has stood and waited for a long time same place a moment later, this Duchess as if suddenly under decided anything to be determined, she looked at front door one of the closure, through the indistinct aura induction, she knows that Maggie was still guarding in out of the door.
Actually even if nobody guards, who does not dare to excel at rushing to this place.
Victoria returns the body, looked at beforehand lithical platform one, afterward takes a step to bypass the platform, moves toward behind lithical platform that leafed door.
This leafed door is most special, it alone is occupying the wall of hall, the gate back does not have the corridor, only then an only tomb chamber.
From this structure, the layout and Cecil of Ancestral Tomb this imperial mausoleum does not have any difference actually.
When along with the mana mechanism revolution sound, Duchess opened the front door of most deep layer that special tomb chamber, she marches into, and has lightened the magic crystal lamp in -depth tomb chamber.
The magic crystal lamp illuminated this spacious hall, the arrangement of hall has taken in everything at a glance: The massive descriptions have mysterious rune stone tablet and magic rune arrange/cloth Man arrange around the hall, in other open areas can see bookshelf, star instrument as well as micro Mage Tower model and other thing by the seemingly optional regulations ordered position scattered arrangement, but in the hall most central stage, then calmly is laying aside a black iron coffin.
„Ancestor, your descendant comes to see you.”
Victoria? Wilde has the solemn and respectful expression to say in a soft voice, afterward as if gently has swallowed a saliva, takes a step to move toward the iron coffin.
Before she arrives at that stage, saw that slantingly by stone tablet in iron coffin, on stone tablet is carving Wilde Family ancestor Snow? Wilde leaves this world last few words:
„Old companion, I live you are longer than-- does not have meaning really”
The bystanders are very probably difficult to imagine, Wilde ancestor's of one frost serious expression in various official portraits in the final time of his life unexpectedly will leave behind such a few words, but Victoria no longer was already surprised to these words.
She shifts from stone tablet the attention, and fixes the eyes on the dark iron coffin, on the face is reappearing to struggle at present the hesitant look.
She hesitated for nearly ten minutes, finally greatly the courage is putting out a hand, has knocked the cover of iron coffin gently.
The iron coffin did not respond.
Also hesitant, she puts out a hand once more, gently the cover of rap iron coffin, and turned the head to look at the surroundings rapidly.
Here naturally nobody, therefore Northern Region Duchess inspired, approaches the iron coffin: „...... In?”
Three minutes that is awkwardly difficult to suffer passed by, in the Victoria Duchess ear hears only has own breath and heartbeat.
On the Duchess face has as if covered cold frost, she is rapidly straight the body, retrocedes two steps, was thinking aloud in a low voice: „...... Damn, my this is making any foolish matter......”
She left the tomb chamber rapidly, left the hall in mausoleum chamber, when maidservant Maggie sees her, this Northern Region protector restored that indifferent feel alienated and noble calm appearance.
„Vicky, you treated in inside were very long.”
„To confirm something,” Victoria said lightly, „we walk, Maggie, this time, I must go to the room to rest.”
„Good.”
