"Huh?"

Grandia had only come to her senses from the afterglow of the sword when she heard Rosen's words, she hadn't understood it at first, and it wasn't until her brain was working properly and she savored Rosen's question that the blonde girl showed a shocked expression.

"What do you say!?"

What the hell is this guy talking about, the wolf shepherd is one of the previous generations of sage lords, no matter how his ethnicity is said, he should be the king of a country, how can he be exiled to the remote land of Bunajien, and be a small city lord with peace of mind.

Grandia thought that Rosen's brain might have been broken during the battle with the wolf herder's armor, and she leaned closer, the girl's scent mixed with an indescribable fragrance.

"This is the Wolf Shepherd's Mausoleum, and while his remains don't seem to be here, it definitely has something to do with the Ultramarine Fortress's defensive circle. ”

Lawson took a step back, he didn't want to get too close to the girl so that he wouldn't notice anything, so he talked to Grantia while searching the exits around him.

"And the Ulysses family has guarded the Ultramarine Fortress for generations, and only the people of your family can activate this defensive circle, which can't help but make people curious. ”

"This—This is ......"

Grantia realized that she seemed to be a little too reserved, she thought that Rosen had retreated because of etiquette, her cheeks flushed a little, and she was speechless to Rosen's rhetorical question.

“...... I heard my father say that the Ulysses family was stationed in Bunajien because of an oath made many years ago, but the exact content has long been lost in history, and even our own people do not know it, except that if we break it, we will pay an unimaginable price. ”

As she spoke, Grantia looked stunned, as if blaming herself for not being able to activate the defensive circle.

"Oath?"

Hearing what interested him, Rosen suddenly focused a little.

"That's right, according to the family records, this oath was made by the ancestors of the Ulysses family, and it seems to be related to the blood of the winter wolf or something, but other than that, it can't be verified. ”

As if adjusting herself, Grantia was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

Wolf Blood Oath !!

The word appeared abruptly, which made Rosen a little excited.

The Wolf Knight's greatsword clearly states that the Chaos Watchers swear an oath of wolf blood, so even if the ancestor of the Ulysses family is not a wolf herder, he is at least a member of the Chaos Watcher, and maybe he can find some clues from their family's information.

As he pondered for this unexpected discovery, Rosen's hand suddenly touched a loose piece of masonry, and without much thought, he slowly pushed it forward, and with the sound of the mechanism opening, a secret door opened in a corner of the tomb.

"It seems that this is the way to leave. ”

Feeling the damp breeze blowing from the inside of the secret door, Lawson sensed the release and found no trace of anyone else.

"You'll have to hurry, I'm afraid the fort's defenses have been hit hard in just this time. ”

Rosen's intuition told him that although it was critical at this time, the Ultramarine Fortress had not been breached, otherwise the system would have directly judged that the mission had failed and put him into a weak state, so although he said urgently, he was unhurried and did not feel the slightest anxious.

In Grantia's eyes, this became calm and composed, she read from the novel about the pioneer knights who fought against monsters in the past, and Rosen's performance at this time was quite in line with the image of the pioneers in Grantia's imagination.

"Okay. ”

She nodded, as the future master of Bunajien, Grantia naturally came to her senses.

However, when the nobleman's daughter saw that Lawson walked straight into the secret door with the wolf knight's sword, she couldn't help but dissuade her.

Mr. Rosen...... That sword seems to be a relic of the Sage, uh, I mean, wouldn't it be nice to tamper with the relics of the dead like this?"

Although looting is quite reasonable for a mercenary, even on the battlefield of nobles, there is nothing wrong with cleaning the battlefield, but this is in the tomb of the Sage, and this great sword is obviously a relic of the wolf herder, and Lawson's behavior of taking it for his own use really surprised Grantia.

"Is this ...... Well, it's likely a holy relic, and as the Grey Knight of the Templar, it's my responsibility to bring it back for the other adults to identify. ”

Rosen felt more and more skilled in his lies, and he saw that the doubt in Grantia's eyes disappeared immediately, replaced by curiosity about the great sword.

"This—This is a holy relic?"

Thinking about it this way, since it was an item left by the Sage Lord, it was indeed very likely to be a holy relic, Grandia thought, and her previous doubts suddenly disappeared, and in addition to being shocked, she was even more interested in this great sword.

"Mr. Rosen, can I ...... Touch the sword. ”

The green eyes immediately shone brightly, and Grantia was like a bird waiting to be fed at the moment, staring closely at the wolf knight sword in Lawson's hand, unable to take his eyes off for half a minute.

This aristocratic daughter is really a curious baby, Rosen sighed secretly, he didn't answer, only silently stretched out his big sword forward.

Seeing Grandia carefully stretch out her hand as if she were dealing with something fragile, and put her slender and white palm on the sword, the cold big sword exuded a thick aura, as if the history contained in it had played out in Grandia's mind, she was a little distracted, and then withdrew her hand.

"What a heavy sword. ”

She muttered to herself, both by weight and by the history behind the sword.

Rosen didn't know what the girl had seen, and when he saw that Grandia was silent, he withdrew his sword and turned to walk towards the dark passage.

The narrow dark passage stretched straight out, and Rosen could feel as if he was climbing up step by step, he didn't speak, and only sensed everything around him with the ability to "feel".

The whereabouts of the blood wizard Zelas are unknown, and there is a good chance that the scheming mage is lurking in the shadows to sneak up on him, and Lawson can't let his guard down.

"Mr. Rosen, you say, can we hold this fortress?"

Suddenly, Grandia spoke in the dark, her voice more uneasy.

"Ultramarine Fortress has stood in this forest of eternal night for a thousand years, and it is not so easy to fall. ”

Rosen did not answer directly.

"But the defensive circle, I don't know why I can't open it, if the fortress is lost because of this, and Bunajn is attacked by monsters because of this, then I am the culprit. ”

Grandia said that her sense of responsibility had tormented her, and that not being able to activate the circle was not a matter of blood, perhaps the fortress had judged that she was no longer eligible to inherit, and the girl couldn't help but feel even more gloomy at the thought.

"The fortress will not be lost. ”

Rosen said that he could not let the fortress fall, or he could not afford the punishment of failing the mission, but this remark meant something different to Grantia's ears.

"Whether or not the defensive circle can be opened, as long as there are people, this fortress will not fall. ”

In a determined tone, Rosen said, which made Grantia's heartbeat as she looked at the back of this knight a little faster.

"I'm not going to let it be swallowed up by the tide. ”
