Chapter 375

It was a startling revelation that the first Duke of Tain had been a mage, and had a connection with the Archmage Luma. If this was true, then there was one person close to Yuder who might know the existence of the fourth underground dungeon floor even better than Pruelle.

"...Is it true that the first Duke of Tain was Luma's disciple?"

Enon, who had suddenly received a visit from Yuder, questioned back with a puzzled face. He had been in the midst of grinding herbs he had collected from somewhere.

"From what I know, all five of the Emperor's children were disciples of Luma at that time. Of course, there were almost none who learned fully to the end, but..."

"He had no talent but showed aptitude in research. I heard that Luma frequently visited him here. Have you ever seen him?"

"Hmm..."

Enon added a handful of herbs into a small dish, furrowing his brow.

"No, Luma kept my existence a secret. After Luma left, I paid no personal attention to the royal family or nobles, focusing only on my duties."

"Then the fourth underground dungeon floor might not exist either?"

"If it was in the design, the probability would be higher. Find a reliable mage and take him along with one of Tain's lineages. If there were Tain's family crest, there might exist a device that only those with the blood connection can open."

"There's such a device?"

"It was quite a common protective device in the past. Blood doesn't lie, after all."

Enon answered nonchalantly but suddenly stopped his nervous grinding of herbs.

"...But if that dungeon was originally for research purposes, and the lowest floor was concealed to such an extent, that first Duke of Tain might have been researching something quite prickly."

"Prickly?"

"Luma was secretly researching how to turn back time among other things, so why wouldn't another guy do the same?"

Yuder slowly nodded his head. In any case, it seemed right that Duke Tain was Luma's disciple, and if there was a high probability that the fourth floor existed, the 'item' that Duke Tain hid might also be there.

'I must first find the fourth floor and check the presence of the item, and then look for traces of the first Duke of Tain or Luma.'

"Enon. When I go to find the fourth floor... do you have any thoughts of going as well?"

Asked in case, Enon sharply opened his eyes and turned his head.

"You... are you thinking of going there? Even when your body hasn't fully healed yet?"

"No. It's not that I'll definitely go. But we have to find the fourth floor anyway." Geett the latest novels on no/v/elbin(.)c/om

"If it's necessary to protect the capital, maybe, but I won't do anything dangerous in other places. I'm not a madman like you."

Enon bluntly betrayed Yuder, then asked with a frowning face a moment later.

"More importantly, have you thought about what I told you?"

"It seems to you that Nathan is still like his younger self. But now, no one dares do that."

"To my eyes, my lord, you don't seem much different either."

"Well, I suppose so."

Kishiar, who answered briefly, turned to Yuder and Enon.

“Hellem was originally from the court mage lineage. When I had to leave for Peletta, she was considering her retirement, so I found a good place for her to retire at just the right time.”

"Speaking of retirement, he actually ordered me to work by his side until he died. Who would want to spend the rest of their life in such a cold and damp place? If monsters hadn't appeared here, he would never have called me," Hellem retorted, sticking out his tongue. Kishiar just laughed and did not refute the statement.

Yuder finally understood Kishiar's words that she was 'A bit different from other mages.'

'If she comes from the court mage lineage... they must have known each other since childhood.'

He became more curious about her history, which he hadn't seen in his previous life, but Hellem was a bit quicker to show curiosity toward Yuder.

"Hmm... Seeing your uniform, you must be the new assistant?"

"Yes. My name is Yuder Aile."

"You look more robust than I heard. Much healthier than my own grandson."

More robust than she'd heard? Where had she heard about him first? Although he had some guesses, it was the unfamiliar praise that made Yuder more perplexed. Yuder kept his mouth shut, and Hellem chuckled before exchanging a few words with Enon.

Enon maintained his usual gruff and brusque demeanor, but Hellem did not show any discomfort at his attitude. Rather, a hint of affinity was visible in her face as she said, “I've heard that you wanted me to look at that monster.”

"It's ready."

Everyone's gaze turned to the cage, now unveiled by Nathan Zuckerman, who had removed several layers of cloth that had been covering the Pethuamet. Yuder saw the small Pethuamet nibbling on vegetables within the magic-circle-drawn iron bars. It seemed a little plumper than when he'd seen it before leaving the great jungle, although he couldn't be sure if it was just his imagination.

"That's the monster. It's truly a creature I've never seen before."

Hellem, having pushed up her magnifying glasses, approached with great interest to examine the monster.
