Rustle.
A leaf crumbled under Cale's feet.
“…For such a place to really exist…”
Mercenary King Bud looked around in disbelief and could not hide his shock.
The group who slowly descended with Raon's flight magic had different emotions as they looked around.
“It's even bigger than the Underground City!”
“It really is! Wow! Wow!”
On and Hong had their jaws dropped as they looked around.
“…I expected it to be similar to the Underground City…”
Choi Han mumbled as he looked around.
The Dark Elves Underground City had many trees as well. There was even an artificial river.
It was all thanks to magic and Elementals.
Choi Han had looked at that Underground City and thought that it was a nice city.
It was a beautiful city where Dark Elves and humans could live together.
‘But this place is different.’
This village that was multiple times the size of the City of Life could be called natural.
It didn't give off any sense of it being created.
Everything in this region that was surrounded by these large cliffs on all sides looked natural.
“…It’s free.”
Choi Han nodded at Bud’s description and looked up.
There was a small orb that shined like the sun at the top of this large underground area.
Trees freely grew underneath it.
Flowers and other vegetation were freely growing as well.
It was not all beautiful.
There were some dead and rotting plants and fruits.
However, that was what made it look so natural.
Choi Han slowly turned a full circle.
This place was quiet, but full of life and freedom.
Paradise was definitely a fitting word for this place.
It didn't seem like the place to have wars nor anything of the sort.
“Cale-nim.”
Choi Han kept turning until he made eye contact with Cale. He subconsciously started to share his sentiments about this place.
“This place is beautiful.”
“Do you feel that way even after seeing that over there?”
“…Excuse me?”
However, Choi Han could see Cale's stiff expression.
He looked toward the place Cale pointed out.
Cale was pointing at a spot near the cave that the group just came from.
Choi Han looked at the cliff with the cave.
His expression stiffened up after looking at it.
He had not noticed it when they had descended close to the cliff.
He had just thought that it was a rough cliff.
It was because all of the other sides of the cliff looked normal.
Bud who looked at the cliff as well started to frown.
“…Are those letters?”
There were large lines on the cliff.
The lines looked so clear that they seemed as if they would never disappear.
“…This.”
Bud started to step backward.
Just a bit farther.
He needed to get farther away from the cliff.
He would be able to tell what these lines portrayed if he stepped back.
“Ah.”
Bud took many steps back before he could see the words written on the cliff.
They were written in the Eastern continent’s common language.
Bud read the words on the top row.
“Become strong. Then save the world.”
It was a sword.
He was certain that a sword was used to write these words on the cliff.
