The Legend of the Stone Princess Livinett
Chapter 20: Rushing to the Castle

“It looks like the material and the year of manufacture of this sword is also the same.” Ulvir Chirps.

“Yes. This sword is old enough. Because the sword of today is not like this. This iron might be forged with full strength and feeling.”

Lian was only perplexed listening to the conversation of the two men who had just fought. A stranger named Ulvir has strange eyes. His left eye looks blind.

“Does this sword make you want to continue your journey immediately?” suddenly Lian interrupted.

Arcansas looked towards the girl. The man named Ulvir also seemed curious about the girl who had just voiced out. Arcansas continued to be silent and only looked at Lian's face.

“Why not answer me? What's up, don't look at me like that,” Lian looks awkward.

“Ehm..there's something I want to ask you.” Arcansas.

“That means? What do you want to ask?”

“Why were you next to me when I woke up?”

Lian was instantly shocked, her cheeks flushed red. He was confused about what to answer, his gaze turned toward the bonfire which was still swaying even though the flame was very small.

“Ah. I wanted to wake you up because I heard a strange sound, but you were hard to wake up.” Answer Lian ngawur.

“Really?”

“Hem. Right.”

Ulvir suddenly laughed. The wolf behind him ran and headed to the man's chest. Why is he laughing? Was amused by being hit by wolf fur. Ulvir may have known something so he laughed.

“Why are you laughing?” ask Arcansas.

“Oh. Hohoho.... This is serialI really want to be pampered.”.

“Why did you bring the wolf with you?”

Ulvir straightened his body and stroked the wolf. “I found him while wandering, he was injured by falling off a cliff.”

“Oh. So apparently.”

“By the way, who is this girl?” ask Ulvir.

“My name is Lian Erie, Mr.”

Lian immediately introduced herself. Ulvir kept smiling looking at the girl. “Then you are alone, what is your name?” Ulvir asked Arcansas.

“My name is Arcansas.”

“Could it... You're the savage king? The cruel Red Lion?” Ulvir.

“Yes. Apparently you know my name.”

“What a wonderful coincidence. I never thought I could meet a great swordsman like you.”

“Do not exaggerate or I kill you.”

“Not wrong anymore. Your attitude is savage. Why are you in this forest?”

“Not your business!” sahut Arcansas with ketus.

“Good. Sorry for interrupting your sleep. Soon bright, will you guys go back to sleep?”

“No! I'll continue on straight away.”

“Can I come?”

Ulvir surprised Arcansas. Why did he say he wanted to come.

“What do you mean?”

“Let me join you. Looks like it would be more fun if there were friends on the way. All this time I've always been lonely for wandering alone.”

Arcansas put out the bonfire and cleaned up his weapon. There was still meat left, he picked it up and ate it on the way. Lian tailed behind Arcansas. Ulvir turned and looked at the backs of the two men.

“If you want to head to the ruins of the castle, I can guide you when I get to the ruins!” shout Ulvir.

Suddenly Arcansas stopped and turned his body. He seemed to be thinking, why could the man know that Arcansas wanted to head to the ruins.

“What do you mean, Virly! You know all about the ruins of that castle, huh!?”

“Yes. I know it and am willing to help you as long as you call my name correctly! My name is Ulvir, remember that!”

“Ah. Ja. Do as you please!” Arcansas is back.

Finally, a man named Ulvir accompanied Arcansas to the ruins of Dum Castle. Their journey continues.

Ulvir's origins are still unclear, he obtained the exact same sword as Arcansas's. It looks like it will be more interesting, maybe Ulvir can provide answers related to strange dreams experienced by Arcansas.

Darkness

Dark and full of dust, there is a passageway and increasingly jutting inward. The ground felt dry, the salty smell of the ocean pierced the nose. Ulvir's wolf ran around sniffing.

Many stones of various sizes were scattered here and there. There was still a passageway leading into the ground, the ruins of the castle were simply incredible.

Some of the soil is still wet and smells of sulfur. Because it just got into a big flood. The ground had started to dry up even though there was still something muddy.

Arcansas extended his hand to help Lian. The woman came down the broken ladder slowly. They jumped down and landed inside the dungeon that was almost destroyed. The ceiling looks like a serpent's jaw, occasionally dripping droplets of water and hitting a rock underneath.

Ulvir walked behind Arcansas, he looked to be directing Arcansas very well. It seemed true that he had once stopped by the ruins and obtained a type three sword.

“Straight. There are two doors, it looks like it is still awake and inside it has not been destroyed,” said Ulvir.

“You were here looking for what?” ask Arcansas.

“I just stopped by to take shelter. Because it was raining heavily, and I found this place.”

“So. We need lighting, make me a fire.”

“By pleasure. I brought a lighter I got from someone.”

Finally a torch was made so that it could illuminate their steps. The walls of the basement still looked solid. Although on top there is only rubble and some giant pillars.

Lian continued to watch her footsteps her soup did not stumble over the stone. The basement was very cold. It might be colder than it was in the woods.

The torch they were holding in flames was shrill. There was a pile of rusty shields partially buried in soil and sand. It is also seen that the tip of the spear is scattered in the corner of the room even though the wood has been destroyed. It seemed like it was a former weapon that was often used when the castle was still intact.

Where do they keep all those parchments? Arcansas looked around. He decided to enter the right door. The door was made of strong steel, the handle was rusty.

The sound of the criet when Arcansas opened it made the ears ticklish. Rust and dust fall. Lian covered her nose with her palm. Ulvir is seen pointing the torch forward to shine a light on Arcansas.

They walked into the room. The condition of the walls looks better than the outside walls are filled with moss and vines. It must have been a very large and magnificent castle.

Although Arcansas was born and grew up in Suin, he had never entered the ruins of the castle. It's been destroyed, abandoned, what to visit. It seems to hold a lot of mystery in it.

The front, before it was completely destroyed, was visited by many people. They did their research and found relics that explain the history of the island's separation from Tsandor.

The original Nath sequence was also found there when it was first explored. No one knew if the ruins had such a vast basement.

This is where Arcansas stands now. The predecessors could not find a hole that led underground because it was covered in giant stones that could not be moved.

Ulvir was suspicious, he saw something strange with the contours of the ground when he first visited the ruins. He tried to destroy the stone, he just mired in.

The space was vast, even estimated to be wider than his own castle. So the first to find the room was Ulvir.
