Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3)
Yuri recognized immediately who they were.
What appeared before them wasn’t a Death Knight, but a group of people.
“They’re mercenaries.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Adelein was supposed to be a place that no one could easily enter, yet common villagers were collecting mandrakes as if it were nothing, and now unfamiliar mercenaries were showing up. canvas Meanwhile, Gert was nowhere to be seen.
It was strange.
“You say they’re mercenaries? galaxy Their equipment looks too good…”
“Huh?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“Being a mercenary pays well. academy See the three knots under their banner?”
“That indicates the group’s rank. armor A three-knot group is on par with an average knight, so they get paid accordingly.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“And how do you know so much about mercenary work?”
The fact that Yuri, a prince, knew so much about the world of mercenaries made Jared look at him with a growingly suspicious expression. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
“Well… life stuff.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Tell me honestly.”
“Are you living your second life?”
“What? armor N-no! anchor Of course not!”
“What?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“I always learn from you, Your Highness. riddle As a bodyguard, it’s embarrassing.”
“I was just saying it. abstract Don’t fake surprise. absorb You’re always messing with me…”
Yuri had genuinely been nervous, but Jared thought he was just provoking him again and pursed his lips in frustration.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Hahaha…”
“Don’t talk nonsense. acoustic I don’t expect anything from you.”
“As long as you’re a decent escort, that’s enough for me.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Meanwhile, both groups were gradually approaching each other.
There was no sign of hostility from the group of mercenaries. harbor They also seemed surprised to see Yuri’s group and tilted their heads curiously.
“That sounds even worse…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Good morning. arcade Are you mercenaries?”
“Ah, yes. absorb That’s right. ability Are you a knight?”
Jared stepped forward to speak with them.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Hmm…”
“Well… I should probably ask you the same.”
“Yes. armor What brings you here?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
As the silence dragged on, Yuri, who was behind, suddenly spoke.
“We came to kill Gert.”
Jared and the mercenary looked at each other, leaving the sentence unfinished. echo Both wanted to know what the other was doing there, but at the same time, they seemed wary of whether the other group was dangerous, hoping the other would reveal their identity first.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Still, that was very blunt…”
Jared looked at him with a frustrated expression. shadow Yuri shook his head.
“Ah…”
“What else would a knight come to do? adjust If we claimed another reason, that would actually seem more suspicious.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“In situations like this, if you’re not direct, it could turn into a fight.”
That meant he was an experienced mercenary.
While they were talking, the mercenaries exchanged glances among themselves. adapt Finally, a man from the back stepped forward. arena He had a thick beard, messy hair, and his gear looked old and worn.

“May I ask what the commission is about?”
“Knights… or rather, brave warriors. action I’m Ivan, leader of the mercenary group Ivan. auction We’ve entered Adelein on a commission.”
“Well…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
He stroked his beard as he replied.
“A scholar?”
“It’s nothing we need to hide. apple We’re protecting a scholar who came to investigate Adelein.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
He pointed behind him. orbit Then, from behind a large tree, a man wearing glasses timidly appeared.
“Yes.”
He wore a poorly fitted backpack and was clearly not a mercenary.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“He’s our employer. avalanche A renowned scholar studying the history of Adelein.”
Yuri expanded his perception once again, searching for Gert. echo He didn’t seem to be nearby. audit There was time to talk.
It was a strange combination.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Yuri spoke.
***
Pierre, who was researching the history of Adelein, obtained unexpected information in Sordelvain.
“Since we’re here, why don’t we sit for a moment and chat?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
And if he published a thesis based on the documents found there, he felt he would have a great chance of winning the Best Scholar Award given annually.
If that were true, he could access the Grand Library located in Adelein.
There was a method to enter Adelein without encountering Gert.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
That’s why he hired a group of mercenaries. altitude That was Pierre’s explanation.
“Yes. canvas It’s my dream.”
“Best Scholar Award?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“I see. acquire And what’s the method to avoid Gert?”
Pierre opened his eyes in surprise. antenna He adjusted his crooked glasses and replied.
“You don’t know?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Ah, right. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. anchor You said you came to capture Gert. harbor That makes sense. altitude In that case, please try a bit of that mandrake over there.”
“I see you really didn’t know. portal If consumed in small amounts, Gert doesn’t appear. action And not only that. arch If you crush the mandrake leaves and soak them in a cloth placed in your ears, you can endure the mandrake’s scream without a problem.”
“The mandrake?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Now everything made sense—the villagers didn’t react to the scream of the mandrakes.
“Wow, we didn’t know that.”
Pierre wouldn’t stop talking in front of Yuri’s group. acid Meanwhile, Ivan’s group of mercenaries had taken a few steps back and sat down to rest.
“And also…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Hey, but we haven’t eaten mandrake, why hasn’t Gert shown up?”
From time to time, they glanced at Pierre out of the corner of their eyes but didn’t intervene in the conversation.
Since Yuri had been in the same line of work for a long time in his previous life, he couldn’t help but feel a certain affinity, as if he were seeing a comrade. avalanche While watching Ivan’s gestures, he asked Pierre.
They were simply fulfilling their commission; nothing more. attic A very mercenary-like attitude.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Well…”
“According to what I heard in town, his activity has decreased lately. anxiety No one knows why. aluminum They say he used to appear as soon as someone set foot in Adelein. antique Maybe that Death Knight is getting old.”
Pierre scratched his head.
“Really?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“We came to fight Gert.”
“Anyway, eat some mandrake soon. arrow It’s dangerous.”
“But think about us, who are with you!”

“What if I die? alien Will you take responsibility? sphere I don’t want to die! adapt I want to study the history of Adelein and spread the knowledge!”
“Hmm…”
“Alright.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“If just a little, about a day.”
Pierre talked a lot.
“If I eat it now, how long does it last?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Let’s try it.”
“This?”
“Yes.”
Yuri signaled to his group.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Yuri brushed the dirt off the surface of the mandrake. august He cut off the most contaminated parts with a knife. arch As he did, a bright red juice oozed from the cut.
“Give me the mandrake.”
“Gross…”
It looked like blood.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Pierre smiled.
Everyone recoiled in horror at the red liquid that flowed like blood.
“Ugh…”
“Go ahead, take a bite. august Be careful not to stain your clothes. harbor Though it looks terrible, its taste is surprisingly sweet.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Huh?”
“Decide.”
As a precaution, Yuri decided one member of the group should try it first to observe the effects.
“Simon, Guinness.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“N-no.”
“Having second thoughts?”
They looked at each other and played rock-paper-scissors. accent Guinness, who threw scissors and lost to rock, stepped forward. accent But he couldn’t hide his expression of fear.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Eat it bravely.”
“Ugh…”
“But…”
“You’re the one who chose to join this expedition to Adelein.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Looks like he’s enjoying it.”
Jared tilted his head.
With a twisted face, he tightly shut his eyes and took a bite. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. action His expression gradually changed as he chewed.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“It’s sweet.”
“Yes. athlete It does.”
“Really?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Pierre explained with a smile.
“It’s a weird sensation, but it’s edible.”
He showed no negative symptoms. armor Then Simon and Cory also tasted the mandrake.
“It’s okay. alert Though it feels slightly medicinal…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Finally, it was Yuri’s turn. antique The mandrake had already been nearly devoured, as if its limbs had been torn off.
No more juice came out, only red flesh was visible. agent It wasn’t an appetizing sight, but Yuri closed his eyes tightly and took a bite.
“Mandrake has a mild stimulating effect. riddle If not consumed excessively, it’s fine. auction Look at me! crystal I’m very frail and perfectly fine.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“W-why are you looking at me like that…?”

Contrary to expectations, it had a crunchy texture. accent The juice that emerged was, as they’d said, sweet.
Suddenly, Yuri sensed a faint trace of evil energy in the mandrake. wizard He looked at Pierre.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
And over time, it weakened. accent It was as if the color of the mandrake had overlaid the mana he already possessed.
Depending on how that energy behaved, Pierre’s fate could change. adopt Yuri monitored the internal changes.
“Hmm…”
The evil energy spread through his meridian system. meadow It didn’t interfere with his mana method. adapt It was like oil and water—it flowed in the same direction without mixing.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
If what Pierre said was true, it could be deduced that Gert didn’t attack those who possessed that energy.
Even the horses were made to bite a bit of mandrake.
“That’s enough. august And if you need more mandrake, don’t forget to use the leaves to cover your ears.”
“Interesting…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Yes, several things. arena I mean…”
“Well then…”
“Thanks. atom Is there anything else we should know?”
Pierre shared several tips he’d heard in the village. echo Once Yuri had gathered all the useful information, he stood up.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Huh? arrow Ah, yes. orbit Hahaha…”
Yuri nodded toward the group of mercenaries.
“Yes?”
“You must’ve paid a lot, huh?” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Pierre nodded.
“I can see that. admire Can people like them be hired at a mercenary guild?”
“They’re a very competent group. august I used my entire fortune to hire them.”
“Huh? adapt Ah, yes. apron Are you looking for mercenaries?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Maybe someday. academy If there are people that capable, I think I’ve been judging mercenaries wrongly.”
“They’re reserved, but good people. shadow And very skilled. atom I don’t think there are many like them.”
“Haha, yes.”
“And what are they like?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Time to part ways. voyage Seems like each of us has our own path.”
Yuri nodded.
“Where are you going?”
As they talked, time passed. august They had nothing more to say. audit Yuri stood up.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Oh, I hope so!”
“Thanks. arrow I also hope you win that Best Scholar Award.”
“Sir Knight, please be careful. athlete Even if you’re confident, that Death Knight is a monster who has killed many. avalanche I truly hope you succeed in subjugating him.”
“I’m heading to Sordelvain. anchor I’ll surely run into Gert there.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Yuri looked at him.
“Oh, by the way, knight. arrow I say this as a precaution…”
They shook hands and parted. alien Pierre returned to his group of mercenaries. anchor But then, just as he turned around, Pierre called out to Yuri again.
“If things get complicated during the fight with Gert… try talking to him.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“While I was investigating the surroundings of Adelein…”
“Talking?”
Pierre adjusted his glasses and continued.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Yes. silence If he truly was a knight, maybe by speaking to him… he might regain something of who he once was.”
“People describe him as a demonic Death Knight. atom But some also called him a true knight.”
“A true knight?”

Pierre smiled enigmatically and walked away, waving. acoustic As Yuri watched Pierre and his group leave, Jose muttered.
“Yeah?”
“This is suspicious.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“One strange thing can happen. matrix But if two strange things happen at once, then something is hidden behind it.”
“In this world… there’s something called probability.”
While stroking his beard, he said.
“Probability?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
It sounded oddly logical.
“One of them is us.”
“There are two groups wandering through Adelein.”
“What’s strange?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“But you’re right.”
“Aren’t you exaggerating?”
“Hahaha, maybe.”
“Exactly. wizard We know we truly came to kill Gert. riddle But we don’t know if they’re telling the truth. shadow They could be hiding something. crystal So clearly, there’s something suspicious about them.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“They are suspicious.”
“Huh?”
Yuri nodded.
When Yuri spoke about the group of mercenaries, Pierre had said he spent his fortune to hire Ivan. advance And when asked if such mercenaries could be found at a guild, Pierre only replied yes, saying nothing more.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Gert hasn’t appeared, and that scholar is also suspicious…”
That could only mean one of two things either Pierre didn’t hire them directly, or Ivan’s rank was falsified.
But to hire three-knot rank mercenaries, you need guild history. atomic And Pierre didn’t seem very familiar with mercenary customs.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Yuri nodded.
“Let’s make that scholar meet Gert.”
“I’ve got a good idea.”
“What idea?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
“Huh?”
“So what?” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“Maybe that way we’ll discover something.”
“What if we’re wrong?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Jose nodded firmly, as if he finally understood.
“You think anyone will complain if a lowly scholar and a few mercenaries die in Adelein?”
“Ooohhh…!”
Yuri smirked.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
***
“I was wrong. advance The suspicious group wasn’t them… it was us! acquire Hahahahaha!”
“Exactly.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
However, that fact didn’t bring him sadness or fear. riddle It simply was—unaccompanied by any emotion.
It was to fulfill the order he had been given. adjust His body, increasingly worn out, was beginning to stop responding. arch If things continued like this, he wouldn’t last much longer.
He wandered for a long time.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 125: The Inheritance of the Ruins (3) by Indra Translations.
Thus, the old knight once again crossed the ruins of the fallen kingdom.
With his creaking body, he stood up and began walking once more.
Suddenly, he sensed the presence of life in the distance.
