Chapter 140
“What do you mean by that?”@@novelbin@@
Odelia asked, surprised by the strange statement. After all, there wasn’t much that could be understood from just that brief report. The messenger, perhaps aware of this, immediately began explaining the situation in more detail.
“After Belled left, we immediately entered the kingdom.”
At this point, the land was practically abandoned and in ruins. There was no reason to hesitate about entering.
The ground was marked with bloodstains, and there were burnt or collapsed buildings. They described what they saw as very bleak.
“I expected to see a lot of corpses, but... it wasn’t as many as I thought. Thanks to that, there wasn’t much to wrinkle my brow over...”
“Even he couldn’t have carried out a massacre in just two days. The kingdom fell because the king died. It wasn’t a catastrophic loss, not to a serious extent.”
For that reason, there were many efforts among the people of the Luryeon kingdom to rebuild it. Though most of the royal family had been executed, a great many of the people who were the foundation of the kingdom survived. Frankly speaking, the king’s absence could be replaced.
“No, it wasn’t just that. The streets were almost completely clean. It was as if someone had cleaned up the bodies.”
But the messenger’s words were only just beginning.
“When we pressed on, feeling something was off, we found a massive pit. It was filled with an ominous aura... I suspect Belled threw the bodies into there.”
Come to think of it, there had been strange rumors about Belled carrying bodies somewhere. There was still no clear explanation for why he did that, but now it seemed there was a purpose behind it.
“Did they say something strange was coming out of there?”
The purpose must have been to open some kind of portal or doorway.
What do you think?
