Gert didn’t pursue those who left the area. wizard He was like a sentry.
“Phew…”
As he chased after the villagers, Yuri realized he knew very little about Gert. agent He had assumed Gert indiscriminately attacked any human who entered Adelein, but that had been a simplistic assumption.

“What’s happening?”

“S-someone’s coming…”
“Hey.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
“Don’t be alarmed.”

Yuri pointed to the object the man was holding, wrapped in cloth.

“Yes.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
“What’s that?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to eat you.”

“Were you following us? alpha Why…?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.

“Because you were suspicious.”

That must be the source of the wealth sustaining Sordelvain.
“I don’t plan to meddle too much in village matters. academy I’m just curious about what that is. atomic So relax.”

“It’s not a pleasant sight. arena You sure you want to see it?”

It was a plant with leafy fronds. armor But its roots had a human shape.

“This is…”
He frowned.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.

“This actually exists?”

“And they grow in Adelein?”

“We don’t hurt anyone. armor We just move quietly through Adelein and don’t cause trouble.”

“Ah…”
“Well…”
“I’ll keep your secret. afford Just tell me that. atom If not, I might start spreading the word and turn Sordelvain into a tourist spot for mandrakes.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
“Mages buy them.”
But they carried only farming tools. arena Yuri waited patiently for the man to speak.
The man let out a long sigh. agent The expressions of the other villagers weren’t good. sphere Some even looked hostile.

“Ah…”
“I said go.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
The man looked at him with a complicated expression but then nodded.

“Understood.”

Simon and Cory didn’t even seem to know what they were.

“Does it actually scream?”

“How would I know? sphere Try it yourself later.”
“What does it do?”
“Let’s forget about the mandrake.”
“No thanks. amateur It might be cursed.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
“That’s not what matters now. altitude If they find out we’re going to kill Gert, they might try to stop us, so stay alert.”
Yuri lowered his voice.
“Why would they stop us?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
Covering their ears and staying silent weren’t things they were doing for the first time.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
According to what Inariel had told him, Gert was a product of dark magic.

“That mandrake must be a plant that only grows in land corrupted by dark magic.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
Laurent spoke.
If his presence saturated the land with that energy, it wasn’t surprising that grotesque plants like the mandrake would grow there.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
“But still, he’s the enemy who destroyed their kingdom. atom Wouldn’t they want him dead?”

“From their perspective, it’s better that Gert continues to exist.”
Jared scowled.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri smiled.
“That kingdom is already gone. abandon Don’t expect common folk to remain loyal to a vanished country.”
“In other words, we’re about to cut off their income source. harbor Feel guilty?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
“Then just focus on Gert. august With luck, we might pull up a few mandrakes ourselves and sell them later. armor Let’s go.”
“Yeah.”
Everyone shook their heads. ability Yuri stood.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.

“W-where are you going?”

“Don’t worry. avalanche We’re not going to dig up corpses like some others. action Just out for a ride.”

Yuri shrugged.
The man’s face flushed red.

“Don’t mock us. arcade Are you going to Adelein?”
“If we walk aimlessly, we might end up there.”

But Yuri showed no intention of listening. athlete The rest of the group also tapped the hilts of their swords while smirking mockingly.
“I hope you return alive.”
The chief looked at them with a somber expression, then sighed deeply and stepped aside.
“You’re not going to stop us?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri replied like that and walked past the chief. antique The others followed him. sphere And so, the group ignored the chief’s warnings and left Sordelvain.
“Thanks.”
“How could a mere villager stop knights? aluminum All I can do is wish you luck.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
“He really seemed concerned about us.”
“Maybe. zenith Though I doubt he’ll congratulate us if we manage to kill Gert.”
Jared said,
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
“The air feels different.”
Yuri followed the same path the villagers had taken the previous night and crossed into Adelein.
“Ha…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
The air was humid. auction Even though the sun was shining, it felt like shadows were everywhere, and every tree trunk was covered in moss like carpets.

It was strange that they hadn’t noticed anything the previous night. orbit The entire ground seemed soaked with sinister energy.

“Do you have proof of that?”
“Seems like he’s napping.”
“Since he’s a Death Knight, maybe he prefers the night.”
“No!”

“Sir Jose, do you sense anything?”

“I don’t know. attic Why isn’t he showing up?”
Jose’s mana technique was as imposing as his build. august But Jose shook his head.
“Do we wait or wander around?”
“Adelein was a small kingdom, but a country nonetheless. crystal If he’s far, it’ll take time to get there.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
“Let’s head to Sordelvain, the capital of Adelein.”
Yuri opened his mouth.
The village they were in had been named in honor of the old capital, but the real Sordelvain was in the center of the kingdom.
“We…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
“Wandering through a ruined kingdom… Sounds like an interesting experience. echo I’m in. alien Let’s go. orbit Maybe we’ll find some lost treasure from Adelein.”
“Maybe we’ll find something there.”
At his words, Jose let out a loud laugh.
If, as Inariel said, Adelein’s fall was related to a scroll imbued with dark magic, the clues would be in its capital.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 124: The Inheritance of the Ruins (2) by Indra Translations.
“Ooooh…!”
“Since no one dares to come because of Gert, it’s possible.”

As they followed the path, they came across some scattered skeletons.

Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech!

A terrifying scream spread out.
