Royal Capital Harman
At any rate, our plan was set.
Disguise myself, head to the central park of the capital, and pull out the holy sword Excalibur from the rock.
And, with that holy sword Excalibur, I will kill the Drake family who have caused me so much pain.
I will definitely kill Drake and his daughters.
Tear them into pieces.
If I don't do that, my heart won't settle down.
After all, because of the Drake family, Mary thought of me as a cruel person with no blood or tears who wouldn't even take revenge on my own kin.
Only those who have turned into bones can understand my broken heart.
No one has ever had their bones licked.
I too wanted to avenge Mylene.
However, I definitely didn't want to become a hero who was used by others.
The worst bastard hero?
Anyone who says that should get peed caught by a dog and stepped on their shit every day!
Even that kind of misfortune is nothing compared to my misfortune.
I was the weakest skeleton, barely able to survive.
Even the novice adventurer's prey, the Horn Rabbit, I can't defeat it without being caught in its pee.
I didn't have any shoes on, so when I stepped on poop, the poop went right between my bones! I remember that.
When I remember it, tears naturally flow.
"I know best how you feel, Master.
I was the one who took the poop out between Master's bones, and I was the one who polished Master's pee-covered bones!"
Shiro reads my mind and comforts me.
Or rather, I think the last part was an appeal to her work, but without Shiro, I would have had to take the poop off myself.
"Shiro! After all, you're the only one who understands me!"
"That's right. So, Master, please cherish only me!"
"Yeah!"
"What the hell are you guys talking about?
Is it a little kid's conversation about pee and poop?"
Mary dissed Shiro's heart-to-heart conversation with me.
Ever since I became a monster, I've also noticed that I often use childish words like poop and pee.
I thought it was because I have no brain, but even now that I have a brain, it's a serious problem that I still use it.
"I don’t use the word poop anymore!"
"Then what the hell do you call it!"
Mary replied in a quarrelsome manner.
"Shit"
"Isn’t shit a more profane word than a poop?"
"Then, after all, you call it poop."
We spent two whole days in a carriage with fast horses that Bruce-nii had prepared for us, while having such silly and random conversations.
We finally arrived at Harman, the capital of the Harman Kingdom.
ーーーー
The Kingdom of Harman is a kingdom located in the center of the Atlesia continent.
It is known as the country where the holy sword Excalibur is enshrined, which only the hero is allowed to possess.
Incidentally, it seems that the first king of Harman Kingdom was also a hero who pulled out the holy sword from the rock.
The holy sword Excalibur has only been pulled out of the rock three times, including the first king of Harman Kingdom.
When a hero dies, it is their duty to return it to the rock.
Well, to put it simply, it is also used as a hero selection device, so it is a holy sword that can be rented out.
Harman, the capital of the Harman Kingdom, is a fortress city.
This is a country where the holy sword Excalibur is stuck in a rock, so when the Demon King revives, they are the first to be targeted.
Normally, it is crowded with tourists who come to see the holy sword Excalibur and strong people who come to judge whether they are heroes, and it appears to be a peaceful tourist-oriented country, but its castle walls are high and strong.
They exude an invisible pressure at all times that would make even the strongest of monsters feel a sense of awe when they come face to face with the oppressive walls.
"This is amazing..."
For the time being, Mary, an oni person who is classified as a monster, is normally scared.
"I didn’t even notice it when I came here last time, but it’s really amazing…"
Even Anastasia, who must have visited the Harman capital many times, was surprised.
"Hey, what’s so great about it?
We've visited Harman's capital many times on request, haven't we?"
Reinhard asks Anastasia a question with a strange look on his face.
"I thought this castle wall was just a wall made of rock, but it turns out it's all made of adamantite..."
Apparently, Anastasia investigated the castle wall using the appraisal skill she acquired after becoming a sage.
"Adamantite is the same adamantite that is used for swords like mine and Kenji's, and is said to be harder than mithril, right?"
"Yes. That's right. And that adamantite wall is inscribed with ancient runes that offset magical attacks!"
"That stylish decorative pattern is actually a lost ancient rune!"
Reinhard's mouth was wide open in shock.
"Hmm? What are you talking about? Ancient runes?
Those are just runes that are commonly used in magic circles and such."
Mary blurts out a startling fact.
"What? Are ancient runes commonly used on the 35th level?"
I, on the other hand, ask Mary a question.
"Yeah, normally a mage would carve a magic circle using runes, right?"
Indeed, mages carve magic circles with runes.
However, even though it is a rune, it is not an ancient rune.
The ancient runes were too difficult to understand, so they were converted into modern scripts and used for several hundred years.
Nowadays, few people use ancient runes, and it is said that they are impossible to decipher.
"By any chance, Mary-san. Can you read ancient runes?"
Anastasia asks Mary a question with trepidation.
"Yeah. I can read it normally!
Only a professional mage can draw a very difficult magic circle, but I can easily draw a magic circle that cancels out magic like the one drawn on this castle wall!
However, I absolutely would refuse to carve a magic circle into this extremely long castle wall!"
On the 35th level, ancient runes, which are said to be dozens of times more powerful than normal runes, were commonly used.
