After successfully completing the camp, we headed straight to the fifth level.
That was the end of the road, but the fifth level was a normal dungeon.
There was no natural terrain or anything like that, it was all rock or stone pavement.
There was a coffin or a cross on the wall.
When Lunamaria touched the pattern of the coffin, she murmured to herself.
Maybe this is a tomb area.
"The Tomb of the Ancients?" ......
Yes . The pattern was not that of the gods. It seems to be ancient.
I'm becoming more and more convinced that this dungeon is a relic of an ancient magical civilization, but there's a holy shield in this hierarchy.
"Yes, if Ayesha is right.
"I'm not the kind of kid who would lie, but I guess I don't have a holy shield.
Leah makes a spiteful gesture.
"I won't say I'm lying, but it could be after someone else has already taken it.
That's very likely.
And find a pedestal in front of it.
It was a pedestal with a strong religious aspect.
On it lay a silvery white shield.
What is that?
Leah's eyes sparkle.
Lunamaría listens carefully and confirms the existence of the shield.
It's an unknown metal. It's probably a holy shield.
You even know what it's made of.
It is a process of elimination. It was made of neither wood, nor iron, nor mithril. It is a shield that is both rigid and flexible. I'm sure it has great power.
Lunamaría elbows her shoulders and says, "Please equip it," but she looks at Leah and says, "You don't have to be shy.
They say it's a treasure of the prairie people. It's not like they made it. And I'm sure they'd be happy to use your shield for justice.
I see.
Well, it's one thing to come this deep underground and not bring the shield back.
I'm about to pick up the shield, but one thing bothers me.
I look around restlessly.
That reminds me, the guardian is gone.
There's definitely nothing there.
I heard there is a guardian in the fifth level.
Hesitating like that, Leah says, "Maybe the lore was out of place, or maybe the guardian was already finished.
Maybe the lore is out, or the guardian has already done its job. If not, it's better to be without one, so get your shields on!
Okay.
And lifting the shield, I put it on my left hand.
The holy shield was a small circular shield, not held in the hand, but worn on the second arm.
"It fits little Will.
And that's what Leah said, but some would argue.
I would have preferred a more muscular warrior, though he fits the bill.
It's sorry, I thought, "Hmm? And also become .
"I mean, what was that all about?
I look around, but it's only Leah and Lunamaria.
I asked them about it.
Hey, Leah, Luna Maria, what did you just say?
They each shook their heads.
"I wonder if I'm hallucinating ......?
But I conclude that's not true.
"It's not a hallucination, Will.
"Wow, I heard that again!
Where will it come from? And looking around, I notice that her shield is glowing every time she speaks.
You're right, it's me, the holy shield, talking right now.
Can you speak?
Of course I can tell you a lot of things. Oh, but only my chosen one can hear me.
