Chapter 26. The Prince’s Tomb (2)
3.
The Prince’s Tomb.
When the place was mentioned by El Palm, Prince Kashan’s reaction was nothing but silence.
It wasn’t a lack of response in a bad sense.
‘The Prince’s Tomb?’
Prince Kashan’s unresponsiveness was due to his failure to understand what El Palm meant by the prince’s tomb.
‘no way?’
And only after he understood the meaning did Prince Kashan react properly.
His expression turned fierce.
“Are you kidding me right now?”
That’s understandable, because what El Palm said was something that defied common sense.
“Are you saying that knowing where the prince’s tomb is?”
The prince’s tomb mentioned here would refer to the tomb of the four princes.
It was a famous place.
Anyone who calls themselves an adventurer in Maple World will know this.
And enough to make you want to try it at least once.
In other words, despite this, the prince’s tomb has never been raided until now.
The reason was obvious.
The difficulty is indescribable.
“It’s a completely different place from where you’ve been.”
The place El Palm conquered this time was also a prince’s tomb, but in fact, it was not a subject of comparison.
First of all, the place El Palm conquered this time was the Tomb of the Seven Princes, which the world did not even know existed.
Among the princes of King Abdullah VIII, the Seven Princes had the least influence and presence.
That means it’s weak.
Crucially, it was the place where the Seven Princes met their deaths due to Queen Areda’s trickery.
“Salé, that guy was a better adventurer than anyone else.”
On the other hand, Prince Saleh was a famous and powerful man even in the Kingdom of Ariant.
As it goes without saying, the party led by Prince Saleh boasted a strength that was incomparable to any other party.
That’s why.
The world is eyeing the prince’s tomb.
Because there would be many valuable items there that would rival the fame of the Four Princes.
“How many times has the kingdom attempted to recover the child’s remains?”
And, naturally, the one who wanted Prince Saleh’s legacy more than anyone else was the Kingdom of Ariant.
It wasn’t a question of money.
It was a matter of pride for the Ariant royal family.
“I have experienced failure many times.”
Despite this, I have failed countless times so far.
“Now I have given up on the challenge itself.”
So the prince’s tomb was currently under protection by a group hired by the Kingdom of Ariant.
Even if there is anyone who knows about that place, they should not dare to approach it.
That was about it.
To that extent, it was a place that virtually no adventurer in the world could conquer.
The grave, and more.
It would be more accurate to say that it is virtually hell.
“I know.”
And El Palm knew that fact well.
“That’s the place that no one has even tried to conquer, let alone conquer. That’s why it’s safe.”
That’s why I chose that place.
“Is it safe?”
Prince Kashan still could not understand that fact.
“Prince Kashan, my enemy right now is Queen Areda.”
But the moment I heard those words, everything changed.
“There is no safe place for me in the Kingdom of Ariant. Even the sandy bottom of the Nihal Desert is dangerous to me.”
It was exactly as he said.
“On the other hand, it’s different beyond the Mystic Gate. Only a limited number of people can enter, and once I get to the second floor, no one can enter. Even if someone does enter, the 4th circle is the best. The chances of encountering someone stronger than that are zero.”
For El Palm, who now had to be prepared to die even for a breath, the Mystic Gate was the safest place.
“Furthermore, the prince’s tomb is now under strict control. Most adventurers don’t even know its location.”
And among those Mystic Gates, the most well-maintained was the Prince’s Tomb.
“That’s why.”
A somewhat reasonable opinion.
Of course, the most important part was left behind.
Can El Palm Party conquer the Prince’s Tomb?
So my worries deepened.
‘If it’s El Palm Party.’

The man in front of you now is an adventurer who destroyed the trap prepared by Queen Areda and completed the request.
Because he was an adventurer who showed skills beyond what Prince Kashan had thought and expected.
It was like that even now.
‘different.’
How many adventurers would actually consider the prince’s tomb a refuge?
‘It’s still hard.’
Of course, even so, the possibility of failure was high.
It wasn’t just high, it was very high.
But Prince Kashan was not greatly troubled by this.
‘But if you fail, that’s it.’
What if El Palmar dies in the Prince’s tomb?
So far, new corpses are just being added to the graves of the dead.
‘But if it succeeds.’
On the other hand, what would happen if El Palmar actually attacked the Prince’s Tomb?
One thing was certain.
It was Prince Kashan who allowed it, and eventually, there will be more people praising Prince Kashan.
Prince Kashan had nothing to lose.
No, rather, at this point Prince Kashan thought.
Since there are followers of the Black Wizard behind Queen Areda, an even more solid foundation will be needed to overthrow Queen Areda.
‘This might be a good opportunity.’
I think this will be an opportunity to lay the foundation.
The moment El Palm saw Prince Kashan beginning to worry like that, he became convinced.
‘It came over.’
What answer will Prince Kashan give?
“Let’s give it a try.”
As expected, El Palm got the answer he wanted.
El Palm, the moment he gets the chance to enter the Prince’s tomb, something he thought was impossible.
“Prince Kashan, I have a favor to ask.”
“ask?”
“I need money.”
“money?”
At that moment El Palm said:
“To increase your chances of success, you need to get items, and ultimately, you need money.”
Prince Kashan smiled faintly at that request.
How can you say that you, the prince of Ariant, needs money, of all people?
It’s just laughable.
“Okay, how much do you need?”
El Palm extended one finger at the laughter coming from the ridiculousness, and Prince Kashan saw it and laughed even harder and said.
“Would it be enough if you prepared 100 million mesos?”
El Palm said with that laugh.
4.
A delicious, extravagant banquet.
“Phuhu!”
One of them scattered the food I was eating.
The culprit is Devo.
That was a really, really bad thing.
Moreover, this isn’t the first time that Devo has done something like this, and it wasn’t just once or twice.
Despite this, no one scolded Devo at this moment.
“Ten, ten billion mesos? So you’re saying you just asked the prince for ten billion mesos?”
Because El Palm said something nonsensical.
“Are you crazy?”
“It’s not a question, it’s just crazy. Hey! Are you out of your mind? The opponent is Prince Kashan, the prince!”
Moreover, the person making the request is Prince Kashan!
He was in a position where he could easily kill one or two adventurers just because they felt uncomfortable with a strange noise.
It’s only natural that even Kiri and Miner react harshly.
Even Ralph, who liked the money, said with a stern expression.
“I trust the captain, but this doesn’t seem right.”
Everyone nodded at those words.
Even Ralph would know the gravity of the situation.
“1 billion mesora, there’s no way I’d give you that, right?”
“That’s right, boss. Ralph says the same thing, doesn’t he?”
“If you had asked for around 300 million mesos and then lowered the price, you could have gotten at least 200 million mesos.”
“Of course! Huh?”
“It was reckless to start with 1 billion. How about going back and proposing 300 million mesos?”
“Hey, really!”
Of course, Ralph’s direction of questioning was different from the other three, but in any case, they were all the same.
I thought El Palm was doing something crazy.
To such colleagues El Palm said:
“The 1 billion meso offer was rejected.”
“Of course!”
Everyone nodded their heads to that answer as if it was obvious.
Even if he is Prince Kashan, there is no way he would just give away 1 billion mesos, that huge sum of money, right?
“I never thought I’d be given 1 billion mesos in the first place.”
“yes?”
But everyone’s expressions changed at El Palm’s next words.
“then?”
In fact, El Palm didn’t really intend to accept that offer.
“Instead, I decided to receive support in the form of items. Although it’s not as much as 1 billion mesos.”
What he wanted was none other than the item, and El Palm received his promise.
To receive sufficient support.
Everyone just blinked at El Palm’s words.
Because I was once again impressed by his skills.
Of course, there was nothing strange about El Palm.
It was rather a natural thing for him.
‘It won’t go smoothly. Queen Areda will try to sabotage things in some way.’
Because my life was on the line.
‘Especially the Ivok attached to Queen Areda will do his best.’
Because it was Ivok’s life, and no one else’s, that was at stake.
It will be a life-or-death battle in many ways.
‘So it won’t be easy.’
That is why El Palm thought it would take time for Prince Kashan to get the chance to enter the prince’s tomb.
‘I need the king’s permission.’
Because to visit the prince’s tomb, you would ultimately need permission from none other than King Abdullah VIII.
‘There’s no way the queen would stay still.’
And now, King Abdullah VIII was practically no different from Queen Areda’s servant.
But El Palm’s expectations did not last long.
The very next day.
I heard the news.
“The prince’s tomb has been opened!”
5.
“The prince’s tomb has been opened!”
The news was like a typhoon.
“What? What are you talking about?”
“The Ariant royal family is recruiting a force to raid the prince’s tomb!”
“If it is the prince’s tomb, then is it the tomb of Prince Saleh?”
“Is there another prince’s tomb besides that one?”
A typhoon so powerful that it could engulf not only the Ariant Kingdom but also the entire Maple World.
“Oh my goodness, is that overflowing with treasure?”
Everyone was surprised by the typhoon.
Prince Kashan was no exception.
‘Why is it suddenly being made public now?’
Why is the prince’s tomb, which they had been trying to keep hidden for so long, being revealed now?
Of course, it was necessary for Prince Kashan to visit the king and ask for permission to enter in order to conquer the prince’s tomb.
In that sense, Prince Kashan no longer needed to persuade King Abdullah VIII.
But Prince Kashan knew.
‘It’s the queen’s conspiracy.’
Surely all this was not of Abdullah VIII’s will.
So that was the problem.
‘I don’t know where my information came from, but the queen read my plan and plotted a conspiracy.’
This was clearly a trap.
That was also very dangerous.
‘I only discussed it with my closest associates, but it got leaked.’
At this point, it means that Queen Areda’s spy is deep within Prince Kashan’s heart.
In fact, it meant that any response from this side would inevitably be discovered by Queen Areda.
That’s why.
“El Palm.”
“Yes, Prince Kashan.”
Prince Kashan, he had to have an urgent meeting with El Palm.
“Have you heard the situation?”
“I heard.”
“Then there is no need for a long story.”
Because I had to ask El Palm again.
“So what do you plan to do?”
Will you take on the challenge even though the situation is completely different?
In fact, Prince Kashan had expected the answer.
‘impossible.’
Entering the prince’s tomb here was no different from entering hell.
Something no one wants.
So, it was common sense for El Palm to say that it was impossible.
“I will go in as scheduled.”
“Yeah, as planned… … what?”
That is why Prince Kashan was greatly surprised by El Palm’s answer.
El Palm, on the other hand, spoke calmly.
“Things have become more comfortable.”
“Are you feeling comfortable now?”
“If we had entered through Prince Kashan, it would have been difficult to gather proper adventurers. As long as there were eyes to see. However, it is different now. We are promoting it on a large scale. The best adventurers will gather. Naturally, the possibility of conquering Mystic Gate will also increase.”
Prince Kashan’s expression turned cold at that explanation.
That wasn’t a wrong statement.
But an important part was missing.
“All of those adventurers could be assassins targeting you.”
The part about whether you can trust them.
El Palm spoke even more calmly about that part.
“Yes, I know.”
That was it.
And that was enough to make Prince Kashan realize what kind of adventurer El Palm was.
“You are an adventurer.”
At that moment, Prince Kashan no longer spoke of El Palm’s adventures.
Because there was no way to change the mind of an adventurer who was ready for adventure.
“good.”
There is only one thing I can do.
“Then I guess we can move on to the next story. I brought the item you promised.”
Supporting adventures.
“I’ve prepared a legendary item here.”
With those words, Prince Kashan snapped his fingers, and the servant who came with him brought a box made of gold and opened it.
Then the shoes appeared.
Looking at the shoes, Prince Kashan spoke with more confidence than ever.
“You probably haven’t even heard of it.”
But unfortunately, El Palm knew.
What is this?
‘The Boots of Hermes… … You brought something incredible.’
