Chapter 6 - Slave

"Huut-huut"

"Huut-huut"

Is it morning already? I didn't even sleep very well earlier.

I started rubbing my eyes and saw the morning view in the prison cell. It was far from what I expected The men had gotten up early and started working.

"Hi Zira, did you just wake up?"

You're awake, Leon.

"You better get ready quickly, Princess Qia will be here soon."

Okay.

Everyone does work. Slaves mine rocks, tend to animals on farms, and make raw materials for weapons.

"Hello everyone. I will invite you to rest and talk to me about your complaints."

"Wow, that's Qia Ayuk's daughter, let's go there.

"Let's go there.

Yes, it seems that many of the prisoners here want to talk to Princess Qia, but Princess Qia herself only wants to talk to him.

Yes, it was only Leon he wanted to meet.

"Okay, I will listen to your complaints one by one."

[your current points are 0]

I think I got my point last night. What else can I do?

"We want to know about the big silver ocean energy project is it dangerous?

"It is a project where the energy of the silver ocean will be used to strengthen the defense of the wall as well as raw material for the strongest weapons."

"We heard that there are immigrants from the Archien race helping us. Is that true?"

"Yes, the weapon we will make is a weapon that splits the gaps between the smallest particles such as atoms and this can be our trump card to win this great battle."

"Even though it has a serious impact, namely dangerous radiation from the weapon."

Wait a minute, a weapon that can even split the smallest particles like atoms? If in the real world this weapon is more dangerous than nuclear. Do they want to create a weapon of mass extermination of mankind?

Qia, is your uncle sure about making such a dangerous weapon without thinking about the risks involved?

"I don't know, but what my uncle is after is the valuable resources on Aetheryn Island so he really wants to exterminate the entire Archien race."

"But surely the radiation effects from the weapon will hit us and we will definitely die."

"But my uncle said we will ..."

"Qia what are you thinking? If you let your uncle create such a dangerous device it means that your uncle wants to create a great disaster that can destroy the world."

"That Brother Leon ..."

No Leon we don't need to blame Qia alone but we have to prevent what King Kimberly did as soon as possible.

All of you slaves of King Kimberly I want to ask you something.

Tells about an unoccupied room in the royal palace and the origins of the conflict between the Scarthage kingdom and the Archien race.

"I will explain to you about the unoccupied room."

"And I will tell you the origin of the conflict between the Scarthage Kingdom and the Archien race."

Okay, there are two people here who will explain. I hope you guys stay quiet here so this place looks normal.

Tell me about no man's space.

[Omniscient skill active]

"It all started when the party ended. The party celebrated King Arthur's birthday, when King Arthur's body was thrown into the river outside the wall. All the files and evidence were hidden in that room."

"Or the evidence is in the form of glasses or letters of invitation to royal guests. And the royal guests who suspected King Lexus were all killed that very day."

"King Lexus really wanted to be clean from the dirty plans he had planned. Even if he wanted his people to die, then those people would die that very day."

So the evidence of King Lexus' crimes is in that room? But why do they really want to keep that room from the public?

Is there something else there besides hiding evidence?

"Even the coffins of the corpses of the murdered guests were placed in that place."

No ... Is this what is called a king?

"And the reason King Lexus strengthened the walls was not for defense but to prevent us from leaving this place and to hide the evidence of his crimes on this dirty island."

So they built the wall not for their defense but to hide a big lie that was happening in this kingdom.

"Another one during the reign of King Lexus there were a number of soldiers around 200 and a number of people around 300 went to the continent of Aetheryn to fight."

"But all they got was one thing, defeat. All the soldiers and people were killed by the Archien race. And what did King Lexus do? He even partied while his people suffered."

"The people here are silent because they do not want to suffer the same fate as their ancestors. They do not even care if this kingdom is destroyed."

As I recall, there is a safe place in this kingdom. It is an underground space that leads to the outside world, the continent of Aetheryn.

Maybe this is what I can think of to save innocent people if the war really happens.

But before that I have to enter the palace first.

"Son, may I tell you the origin of the conflict between the Kingdom of Scarthage and the Archien race?"

Yes, you can, grandma.

"As that person said, the origin of the conflict with the Archien race was when King Lexus sent 200 soldiers and 300 civilians to attack the continent of Aetheryn for no apparent reason."

"And this made the government on the continent of Aetheryn angry and threatened that if the Scarthage kingdom did not give a reason to attack the Archien race, then the Archien race was ready to destroy this kingdom."

The continent of intelligence is the continent of Aetheryn. Surely they have a defense system with the latest technology that they have.

And if they say that then they are really ready for the war.

""The energy of the silver sea was also drained by King Lexus and King Kimberly. If this is the case, the last resource that the people here hope for will run out."

"Yes, it's true that they only care about themselves without considering the suffering of the people."

[If you complete the quest to the unoccupied room then you will get 50,000 points]

It seems that to resolve this conflict I have to go to that room.

"Zira, Qia has a great plan for you. So that you can enter the palace."

Plans? What do you think princess Qia?

"Sister Zira must pretend to be my servant and I will help you by giving you the key to that room.

Be your servant?

I've been thinking about this for a long time but the chances of it being known are slim.

It's just that the appearance of being a servant in this palace.

"But that's what I can suggest, Sis Zira. Do you want it?"

"It's better to be okay with this zira to uncover their evil plans. And if you are in danger I will come."

"Come on, son, we entrust everything to you."

"Come on! Come on! Come on!"

"Everyone has been hoping for you. Come on, Sis Zira."

Yes I know for this and I am willing to be your servant.

"Yes."

"Yeah."

"But I hope you get close to my brother so you can gain his trust."

What did you say earlier? Your brother?

"Because I can't guide you any longer and tomorrow I'm leaving too. So the only one in the palace is my brother."

"Just follow Zira's instructions.

(I started to catch my breath)

Okay, let's pretend to be your servants

"Come on, follow me, Sis Zira."

I started following princess qia from behind and left the place slowly.

But I was still a little confused why Leon was ordered by princess qia to be a palace cleaner?

[Athena's reincarnation is in danger]

"Yeah I saw it. I'm sure he's strong in little things like that."

"As the guard, I will come if the scale of the danger is great."

Someone from the sky who is watching Athena's reincarnation. Who is Athena's reincarnation?

Aetheryn continent, Aesthetic city.

"Everything has been prepared, sir. Weapons and defenses have been prepared in case the kingdom of scarthage attacks."

"Well that's a good thing my soldiers. At least we'll see who will be affected the most by this war and it certainly won't be us."

[Archien race war preparations have reached 100%]

"They would definitely use a small portion of their weapons just for a small kingdom like that."

"But I believe in that girl to save the innocent people."

Scarthage Palace

Yes, even though clothes like this don't suit me, what can I do?

"Sorry, Zira, you have to wear a maid outfit like this."

Yes, it's okay. Now I have to serve you, Right?

"Yes, take me to my room."

Okay little girl, come follow me.

I started walking to escort Princess Qia to her room. I observed the surroundings and there was nothing suspicious here.

(My room is my home)

My room is my home? Does he only like being in the room?

Princess Qia do you like your room?

"Yes, I even consider my world to be in my room because you know what my uncle is like."

It's no wonder he considers his room a safe haven but ...

Where are your parents Qia?

"You will know if you manage to get into that room."

Okay Princess Qia, have a good rest.

"Goodbye sis Zira, good luck."

He started to enter his room and closed the door. Well it seems my mission has just begun.

[active vision skill]

I saw that there weren't too many guards here and it was just like what Princess Qia had told me.

They are currently focused on preparing for war against the Archien race.

I started walking through every wall and place in this palace. Seeing various royal paintings from the beginning of this kingdom until now.

"Hello, what are you doing here, waiter. Are you on the wrong path?"

[the presence of someone behind you]

How could he know me? Even though I was walking silently.

"What are you doing here again, waiter?"

I'm doing ... Aaa ... Looking for groceries. Do you know?

"You want to go to the palace garden if you're walking that way. Hey, turn around so I can see your face."

No why doesn't he leave here?

O ... Okay, I'll turn around.

I turned my body and saw the person in front of me.

This person was like the one Qia had told me about, was he the older brother and prince of this kingdom?

"Oh, you're right, a servant. Go to the back there to look for ingredients. There are lots of ingredients there. Do you want me to bring them to you?"

No... No, no need. I can move by myself.

"Well, what else can I do?"

Finally that person left me. Yes I will pretend to go there and come back here.

Wait a minute, in chapter 7, Kaito should have gone to that room, but why am I still having trouble getting there?

I started walking towards the back that Qia's sister directed me to. Yes, as her sister had told me, there were a lot of food ingredients here.

Considering my points are 0 I can't give any cooking tools.

[There are investors interested in you]

Huh? Investors interested in me?

[Investor demon king of chrono abyss gives 100,000 points]

Who is this demon king? Yes, whoever it is, thank you.

[Opening the item shop]

[Type what item you want]

Only a few cooking utensils are needed. About a set—and the spices.

[A set of cooking utensils and spices. Total points used are 50,000]

Okay, let's cook for a while.

Outside the Scarthage Palace Leon begins to infiltrate according to Princess Qia's plan.

"Yes, I have to go to that room and I hope Zira can go there."

Leon enters the palace using the window glass. Infiltrating one room at a time to find an unoccupied room.

Yes, the grilled chicken and bread are ready. At least I can take it to eat there.

Let's start infiltrating the unoccupied room.

[Vision and omniscience skills active]

Walk to the right, straight and slightly to the left.

It's easy.

I started walking through every room in this palace. Like Kaito did in chapter 7 the unoccupied room was above the 3 statues of the previous kings.

A statue of the founding king.

The two greatest kings.

The three most cunning kings.

Yes, this is the room, the 3 statues of the king are here and in the middle there is a table and books as the entrance to it.

"Shushh ... Krikk"

Huh who is that?

"Zira, be quiet. It's me, Leon. Let's start going into this room."

Oh, you followed the instructions from Princess Qia that you whispered earlier, right?

"How did you know?"

The omniscient skill allows me to know what is whispered, talked about, hidden, or said openly.

"You are indeed a great girl. It was not in vain that I made you my friend."

Yes, you are lucky to have a friend as smart as me.

Let's open the pattern in this book.

"Okay."

The pattern here is triangular.

"It's circular here."

"And it's like a square."

Triangle, circle and square what is meant by this?

"Zira looks like we're trying to bring the three together."

First we have to decipher the meaning of those 3 shapes.

The triangle represents human emotions, the circle represents wholeness, and the square symbolizes Physique.

If put together it means ...

"What does zira mean?"

This combination is a symbol of human wholeness such as body, emotions and soul.

When put together, the three symbolize a complete human being, namely a strong body, balanced feelings, and a harmonious soul.

This symbol represents the perfection of the self — harmony between the physical, emotional, and spiritual.

[Answer locked]

[Entry access opened]

Yes, as I know.

"Zira how do you know this?"

From chapter 7 of the MOTW book.

Come on, let's go in!

"Okay."

The three statues vibrated, creating a flow of energy that flowed into the book. Vibration... A vibration that opened the door to the unoccupied room.

We both started to enter the room. Going down the stairs and exploring the room.

Is this?

There are 3 coffins and ...

[The mystery of the unoccupied room has just begun.]
