() The giants are very strong, destroying several cities and killing many magicians. Later, some barbarians even stood on the side of the giants and fought side by side with them.

However, such a tenacious giant still surrendered to the great magic of the magicians. Legend has it that the magicians summoned meteorites from the sky to attack the giants, not only killed the giants but also subdued the barbarians. The king of giants was also captured alive and imprisoned by spells.

In the underground maze.

Although magicians have discussed contributing its power to the ancient kingdoms, this day has not come after all.

The magicians conquered the giants and dominated the giants, but at the same time they were also afraid of their power. Therefore, they did not forget to make weapons that would restrict them in order to prevent the giants from resuming their sabotage activities.

For this reason, they forged a sword and added powerful magic to the sword body. This sword, called "Giant Slash", was placed here in the maze that sealed the giant, so that the giant could be defeated immediately as soon as it was liberated.

it.

"So that's it, this legend sounds quite like the same thing." Bill nodded and listened carefully.

"Have Sliyn's ever heard of this legend?"

"I don't know all the legends. It seems that if you want to know whether it is true, you can only ask Lelia..."

"It's impossible to ask us to return to Saxony? Now we can only believe this legend."

Slien nodded as well.

"So, where is that sword?"

"The legend only ends here, but I believe that the sword must be placed where the giant is sealed."

"I just looked at it and found only one door." Maru's voice came from afar.

"Of course it's used by ordinary people."

"Maybe it was taken away by the prefect of Wino. After all, this is a weapon to kill his ace?"

"Then there is no need for them to protect this fortress."

Redlik's inference is correct.

"I think deploying troops in such a remote place is the best evidence that the Legendary Sword and Shen Mian are in this underground ruin, so I came here specially."

Bill nodded. It was indeed possible.

"In other words, they must have a reason to not take away the sword that defeated the giant."

Maru, who was walking back, expressed his thoughts.

"The answer is simple, because they can't open the entrance door." Slien said to him.

"Who brought the giant out?"

Maru's unintentional question was difficult to say to Slein.

"...It was done by a witch. She must have given the power of the giant to the prefect of Wino, but she did not hand over the weapon to the prefect to the prefect together. This is undoubtedly her style."

Bill nodded deeply, and almost believed that the magic sword "Giant Slash" must still be located in the ruins where he is now.

"Witch..."

"It's really worthy of being a cursed island, there are quite a few kinds of monsters."

"Since there is still hope, we might as well give it a try. Let's go to the door we found in Maru and see. The 'Giant Slash' will definitely be placed in a place where the Giant cannot get it."

Maru nodded in agreement.

“The door is over there.”

Xilith had already stood by the door with Maru's torch, and she had been standing in the distance and listening to Bill and the others' conversation.

"Do you want to go in?"

Her voice came over, and Bill also gave her a positive answer.

Then Xilith held up the torch and reached her hand towards the doorknob.

"Calis can't!"

Maru's voice became very serious.

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't I say it from the beginning? This is a ruin of the ancient kingdom. I can't predict any traps!"

(That's why I hate beginners) Maru just muttered and walked quickly towards the door.

Then he carefully investigated the door with the light of the torch in Xilith's hand.

He first took out a metal wire and a can of small oil pot from his backpack, then took off his leather gloves and touched and knocked on the door, and was particularly cautious about the handle and door shaft.

Bill observed Maru's homework with great interest.

"It's dangerous if you get too close. Maybe poisonous arrows will fly out or gas will be sprayed out. If you are not lucky, it will explode!"

"Isn't Maru as dangerous as me? Then that's okay!"

Maru turned around and looked at Bill in surprise.

"Bill, you are really interesting."

After Maru said this, he continued his work, and Bill seemed to have no idea what happened, his expression was like listening to the whisper of the spirit.

It took a long time like this.

"Okay." Maru said.

"How is it?" Bill asked him quickly.

"As I thought, there were indeed traps." Maru played with the wire in her hand proudly.

"The door is dead. It is designed to pass in one direction. If you want to open it from this side, some liquid will be sprayed out in the small hole on the wall above the door. It seems that it will be something like strong acid."

So, there are really four small holes in the wall. I didn’t expect that he could find so many in such a short time.

"So can it be lifted?"

"I don't want to do it." Maru said simply.

"Why?"

"Because it seems very difficult. Didn't there be another door when I first came in? It must have been from there, although it was just my intuition."

Bill believed that he should listen to Maru's opinion, because Maru should have accumulated a lot of experience in adventures in the ruins of ancient kingdoms.

"It seems better to go back."

Bill turned around and said to the other companions, and everyone nodded speechlessly. Then, Redlik, who was originally behind the temple, walked back along the way he had just arrived.

Hillis followed directly behind Redlik, and she kept silent. It seemed that her honour was severely hit.

"Cheris, this is not like you. People have already said sorry, can you forgive him?"

Tidrit advised Hillis in this way.

"I know, I've lied to him anyway..."

Then Hillis's gaze turned slightly to Tidrit, and her gaze told Tidrit that she hoped to give her some more time.

Tidley nodded and stayed in place to wait for Bill behind him.

"Your relationship is still as good as that!"

Maru showed an ambiguous smile. Although she smiled a little vulgarly, she became a little cute on his round face, probably because he had special abilities that could not make others hate him.

"I really hope that one day you two can travel alone."

Maru said as if flatteringly.

Bill, who rushed over, became very serious and said to himself that he really hoped that this day would come soon.

Tidrit couldn't help but pay attention to Bill's expression. When their eyes met, Bill returned to his jingling look, and tilted his head as if he was asking her why she shouldn't be with her.

Tidrit shook his head silently.

"It's nothing, we're a little off the team, so let's go!"

The huge door was still closed.

Maru walked to the door and sensed the situation outside. His small face was pressed against the huge door and listened to the situation outside.

After Maru came back a while, Bill hurriedly asked him how it was outside.

"It seems that we are completely surrounded. There are many people talking outside, and there are quite a few people. I wonder if we can handle it."

"They will take some time to unlock the magic I cast on the door. Let's rest here tonight and wait until tomorrow we will find a way to break through the siege outside. Otherwise, I will not be able to help everyone now, because

Today I no longer have the energy to use magic.”

"To be honest, I am, too."

Tidrit nodded after hearing what Slien said.

At this time, Maru took out a new torch and lit it, and the old one was in Slien's hand. Although there were two light sources in this way, the old one probably took a while.

It will be extinguished.

"Then it's better to find what we want as soon as possible and have a good rest later!"

Bill said this to everyone.
