Solo Eating to Overpowered Chapter 121

Episode 121 〈Irans’ Underground Labyrinth〉

The nobles were buzzing in the royal palace.

vampire? Is something like that in this palace?

This was something that could not have happened in the Kingdom of Airans, which had maintained peace for the past 50 years.

The nobles protested to Queen Rox.

“You’re thinking too much.”

“you’re right. “It’s just the Queen’s concern.”

“haha! This is embarrassing. “It was supposed to be a hero’s celebration, but you betrayed our trust like this.”

“That’s right. “I feel sorry for you.”

The nobles shook their heads in pity and expressed their dissatisfaction.

However, beyond that feeling of discomfort, there were others who trembled with anxiety.

‘Why why…!’

‘Is the 7th prince here?!’

The creatures sown by Jinjo, vampires wearing human masks, widened their eyes.

They were watching the scene where the 7th Prince and Queen Rox met among the nobles.

I thought this was a person I had seen many times before, but it was the appearance of a prince from the Seonghwang family whom I had seen in portraits.

I heard that it was definitely a celebration for the hero who saved the adventurer’s city of Elusha.

When I came to get acquainted with Queen Rox’s summons, I found in front of me the number one vampire to be wary of.

‘I can’t believe I got caught in a trap dug by damn livestock…!’

One of the creatures bit its nails.

I was researching Elusha’s hero just in case, but I never thought I’d be asked so openly.

The vampires glared at Queen Rox with eyes stained with anger.

“You mean hunting down vampires? “Even if I am an Orichalcon-level adventurer, I don’t have the power to hunt down vampires.”

It is an intention to refuse.

The vampires heaved a sigh of relief among the nobles.

thank god.

That’s right, there is no reason for the prince to help Irans here.

Rather, it is a good thing.

Queen Rox will also lose the trust of the nobles because of this incident.

If her authority declines, it will be easier for vampires to be active…

“Ah, but she has very good senses.”

“…”

The vampires stopped and raised their heads in surprise.

When they instinctively looked at the 7th prince, the 7th prince looked at the nobles.

The corner of the 7th prince’s mouth curls up. His eyes shined sharply as he searched for ‘prey.’

The vampires froze and remembered the war letter that had arrived not long ago.

-Be careful of the 7th prince.

I was there.

-I don’t know how, but he was a vampire…

and that’s when our eyes met.

The 7th prince moves.

-Has the ability to search.

Suddenly he attacked the nobles.

There was no time for the nobles to scream.

The 7th prince captured one of the nobles.

He grabs his head and kneels down.

“Uh… huh?”

Before he knew it, the vampire was looking up at him with wide eyes.

The 7th prince still did nothing.

He is just looking down at the vampire with a crazy look in his eyes.

Just as the feeling of fear was engraved deep into my bones, the vampire screamed.

“Save me! I’m not a vampire. Soldier, what are you doing? “Stop this rude person!”

The royal knights and wizards were surprised and tried to stop the 7th prince.

Queen Rox struck down her staff and bit the soldiers.

“Please step back.”

The vampire said, glaring at Queen Rox.

“Queen Rox! This is ridiculous. “This is against the law of the land!”

“This is an emergency. Don’t you know what kind of ending the neighboring country Rom has met?”

Queen Rox said as she glanced at the nobles inside the throne room.

“A civil war caused by vampires. The king died, a terrible fight broke out between brothers, and 10% of the people became undead. “I heard that it was the work of a dragon slayer who served the royal family.”

“Even if something like that happened, in this peaceful country…!”

“Get tested by Orichalkon’s adventurer. “I will take full responsibility.”

Queen Rox gently closed her eyes.

Some people had their hands folded and their heads bowed.

The nobles complained, but did not stop them.

They too are afraid.

If there is a ‘vampire’ within the nobles, you never know when they might be ‘bitten’ and die.

The vampire turned his gaze and looked at the 7th prince.

“Don’t worry, nobleman. All it does is infuse sexual power deep into the skull. “If you’re an ordinary person, you’re very healthy, if you’re a vampire.”

The 7th prince is smiling.

“It will burn and disappear.”

What kind of recklessness is this?

As is Queen Rox, but the person in front of me is the 7th prince.

No matter how much of a fool he is, he has to be careful about his every move. How can you move so impulsively?

“7th Prince, this is nonsense. “This is a violation of diplomatic etiquette…!”

The nobles reacted in surprise to the vampire’s words.

Some of them were whispering about being the 7th prince.

“7th prince? “Who are you talking about?”

The vampire broke into a cold sweat.

The 7th Prince whispered into the vampire’s ear.

“Queen Rox also said it. ‘Adventurer’. “This is an act committed by individual adventurers.”

“Such unreasonableness…!”

“Queen Rox.”

Queen Rox saw the 7th prince.

“What can you do? “A reward for being an adventurer.”

“It’s something I can do with my authority. And I will do anything as long as it does not harm my country.”

“Okay, that request.”

The 7th prince imbued his hands with holy power.

The vampire’s entire body, starting from the head, was on fire.

Gorgeous flames and cries rang out among the nobles. When

the prince released his hands, the vampire’s burning body floundered.

The 7th prince relaxed. He bowed to the queen and said,

“I accept.”

The nobles froze and watched the scene.

Other vampires were also terrified.

‘…Marquis Kirum was right.’

‘The 7th Prince accurately distinguishes between vampires. We must inform Count Timon of this fact!’

‘I must have come here because of the smell. This branch is also dangerous!’

The burning vampire eventually fell to his knees and fell to the floor.

“Save me…”

‘Pusuk!’ My body completely collapsed.

The vampires among the nobles broke into a cold sweat.

The opponent is the 7th Prince who hunted down the two ‘Marquis’.

Creatures that are not true ancestors will not only be unable to resist him, but will also be unable to escape.

‘then.’

‘There is only one way left!’

The vampires gave strength to their entire bodies.

It boils up magical power.

Their eyes glared at Queen Rox.

‘Take the queen hostage!’

Vampires came out.

They rushed forward, revealing their true colors.

The face became hideous with protruding fangs, sharp nails, and veins.

“Kyaaaaaaaa!”

As he screamed and tried to attack Queen Rox, Ellis blocked his path.

I took a deep breath, stretched out my fist as hard as I could, and crushed the vampire’s head.

Repeated blows with heavy fists on the right and left. The vampires exploded with each blow.

‘…what!’

‘I’ve never heard of a woman like that!’

I’ve heard of guard knights using swords, but I’ve never heard of priests using fists.

When the rushing vampires stopped, a gunshot rang out.

Christmas pierced the vampire’s head.

The 7th Prince is smiling leisurely, holding a musket in one hand.

The vampires who remained among the nobles did not even think about coming forward.

This place is already like a spider web. If you resist, you will only be killed.

There is no way out.

Queen Rox looked away when she saw the body reduced to ashes.

“Are you still dissatisfied with this?”

Queen Rox glanced at the nobles.

The nobles who had remained silent looked at each other and widened their distance.

In particular, nobles who were close friends with vampires felt chilled. They looked around and began to suspect.

The evidence was right before my eyes.

This is like announcing a risk at the national level.

The courageous among the nobles cautiously left their seats.

A noble looked at the ashes in a cold sweat and then looked at Queen Rox.

“…Did the Queen foresee this outcome?”

“Yes, I was suspicious because strange movements were detected in my home country these days. “Just because there is no confirmation.”

“So that means it’s an emergency.”

The peace that had lasted for 50 years was broken.

When they realized this, the nobles’ eyes turned.

Everyone looked at the 7th prince.

“How do we find the rest?”

At that one word, the remaining vampires’ complexions turned pale.

**

It was already late at night.

He inspected each nobleman and searched out vampires from them.

Some of them rebelled, but were captured without incident.

Since this is where the palace wizards are, it will be a good material for experiments.

I was in Queen Rox’s room at her invitation.

I sat on the balcony with a view of the stars and looked at the sky.

‘Although the Kingdom of Airans was certainly mentioned in the materials provided by White…’

I had no idea that there would be this many people in the magical palace.

No, it’s probably hiding somewhere, whether it’s a kingdom or an empire.

That’s why the vampires are watching carefully.

An opportunity to invade the prosperous kingdom.

As I sipped the prepared tea, I thought of the Queen of Rocks.

Come to think of it, when I was looking at Queen Rox, I thought of Celts.

There is a certain resemblance.

You can see this just by looking at his unstoppable spirit.

Then the door opened.

Queen Rox came in with her maid.

She sat across from me in a fancy dress.

The maid put the dinner on the table.

“First of all, thank you for accepting the request for our country. ‘Prince’.”

You said you were an adventurer, but now you are a prince.

I looked at the Queen of Rocks, who was smiling as she brought the tea to her mouth.

She has a wrinkled but pretty face. She gave a longing look in her eyes.

I spoke to Queen Rox.

“It’s no big deal. “Because I moved to receive compensation.”

Not all were found.

They only searched out some nobles in the capital and its vicinity. There is a high possibility that many vampires are hiding in other territories as well.

Just like getting rid of cockroaches, it was impossible to kill them all 100%.

“Then let’s start by talking about compensation. What do you want? “Prince.”

“I will speak from a diplomatic standpoint as the 7th prince.”

Irans is already overflowing with debt.

I am in a position where I can make as many demands as I want.

I didn’t know Big Eyes and the vampires would be this helpful.

“Yes, prince, please speak.”

I looked at Queen Rox and said with a grin.

“Why don’t we form an alliance?”

Queen Rox’s eyes widened in surprise.

Magic and religion are opposing views.

The position is that wizards can use magic because of reason. In contrast, a priest holds the position that magic can be used by God.

Although each side understands the source of power, conflict is bound to arise over ‘which is greater?’

It was a truly childish yet natural result.

Alliance Actually, I didn’t think about this.

However, if the vampires are planning to attack the Empire, it would be best to involve the surrounding countries as much as possible.

As a shield and a sword.

“great.”

Surprisingly, it was accepted easily.

While I was drinking tea, I looked at her in surprise.

“You make your decision too easily.”

Or was that something you had thought about in advance?

Queen Rocks rocked the car.

“Of course, it will have to be decided through the noble council. However, due to the vampire incident a while ago, it was decided that help from the Holy Emperor would be needed. “The only expert who can catch vampires is the Holy Emperor.”

I said, licking my lips.

“Also, the magic stone….”

“We will pay you a certain amount. We will provide the highest quality at an appropriate price. “This trade will also help our country.”

Things are going very well.

It was so different from what I had heard.

I thought the Magic Kingdom was hostile to the Holy Empire.

No, that’s excluding Queen Rox.

Although she talked about many other things, Queen Rox was positive.

However, the conversation proceeded in a way to let go of restrictions that were detrimental to one’s kingdom.

As I drank my tea, I glanced at Queen Rox.

The smile on his face is as if he were looking at his grandson.

I touched my face without realizing it.

“Is there something on my face?”

“It just reminded me of the old Celt.”

“Maybe with your grandfather…”

“Then what do you want as a reward as an adventurer?”

Queen Rox seemed to be struggling to change her mind.

It looks like he doesn’t want to say anything else.

I was curious, but I was in no position to force it, so I gave it a try.

There was a separate reason for coming to Irans.

Above all, it is not my responsibility to deal with diplomatic issues, so you can leave the rest to Celt and the brothers.

I spoke to Queen Rox.

“A dungeon located underground here in the capital.”

Here’s the Queen of Rox’s reaction.

She narrowed her eyes at me.

“I want to join Taitalos. “Would you please allow it?”

“…Do you know what kind of labyrinth that place is?”

“A place where ancient monsters camp and a magic stone mining area.”

A place where ancient creatures that are said to have disappeared from this world still survive. It was also the source of magic stones that would support the magical royal palace, Airans.

“I want to go in there.”

Queen Rox nodded.

She smiled bitterly.

“Unfortunately, I will decline that.”

“…?”

It was unexpected.

You say yes to everything else, but refuse the underground labyrinth?

Does this mean that it has gone beyond the national level?

“Is it because there are secrets in the underground labyrinth that you don’t want to know?”

Queen Rox shook her head.

“Because it’s dangerous.”

“It’s a place with ancient life. If you make a mistake, you will lose your life. “I can’t leave my benefactor’s grandson in danger.”

“You must have heard about me.”

“It’s a place even vampires avoid.”

…Is it like a dragon’s nest?

“How could it not be?”

Queen Rox looked at me for a moment.

He seemed to be thinking and struggling, then let out a long sigh.

“What are you going there for?”

I also asked why.

I said with a smile.

“It’s just a hobby. After becoming an adventurer on vacation, I wanted to hunt ancient creatures. Also, I am just curious about what is in the underground labyrinth of Airans. The origin of why the Kingdom of Airans is called the Magical Palace…” “

I know.”

Queen Rox interrupted.

As I looked at her with a puzzled look, Queen Rox spoke without hiding it.

“The reason why the prince wants to go to Taitalos.”

“…Excuse me.”

Rox drank tea.

“An ‘angel’ sleeping there.”

She said with a smile.

“You came to get that, right?”
