Chapter 741 The Sealed Galatine

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Casually opening a hole in the wall is not something I would do. It's something that Kaisar has done before to access this place since opening the massive slab of a door is going to be an impossible task as that is designed to not open by any means and is made with the intent of sealing anything behind it.

It would have been fine if the walls were also strong but compared to the walls of the cave and the material the door made from, it's something that cannot be compared equally. Before, when the door was installed, the walls were as strong as the door, so no one is afraid that anyone will breach the walls. However, compared to the door, the wall is subject to the passage of time and it does not escape the wear and tear most things go through as time goes on, the walls would also lose the little strength that holds them together.

Due to this, when Kaisar discovered this place in the past and realized the wall is weaker, he asked one of his guild members who are a cannoneer to punch a hole in the wall with the cannonball, allowing them to gain access to it. Although that was just the story I was told, it was indeed what happened as Kaisar obtained his weapon that would soon make him one of the main rankers of the game, the Galatine, and the item I am planning to take before Kaisar will obtain it.

Once the hole is present now, we entered the hole to explore what is behind the huge wall slab. Compared to the various chambers of this cave, this place is warmer than the rest. Strangely warm in fact.

Despite not getting direct sunlight, it's warm enough that anyone won't need to bother making bonfires at night as it is humid enough that cold nights will not be a thing. Still, for a cave, it is pretty strange. Most of the time, the cave gets warm whenever it has a direct source of sunlight like some big hole in the ceiling, or if not, the cave is very close to a magma deposit and it's causing the abnormally warm feeling in the air.

"Wow, this place is not that cold compared to the previous chambers. It feels comfy to stay here for quite some time..." Lina marveled around the surroundings despite the darkness that is blending all around us.

"[Light]! Illuminate our surroundings!" Tina raises her left hand and a ball of white light emerges from her palm, releasing vibrant light that illuminates the whole cave's dark surroundings.

This reveals that we are not in a cave but in some kind of hallway that usually are only present in castles. A hallway leads to the throne room. However, despite being a place that resembles one, it is clear that it no longer retains what it was before. The pillars are toppled over, and vines and mosses are already littered on the walls, floor, and even on the toppled pillars. Various grass has been growing as well and even the red carpet for the walkway is now full of mold.

"A castle?!" Gobu frowned and pulled out his weapon, his guard is up and he is unusually looking for any trouble around us.

"Master. Are you sure we are still in the cave? Did we get transported to another place the moment we entered the hole you made in the wall?" Tina looked at me, looking for an answer to her question.

"No. It is clear we are still in the cave. Look at the wall that I have destroyed, does it look like it possesses any portal stuff that should teleport us if we entered it? Doesn't look like it had one. Also, look up."

Everyone looked up as I pointed to the rocky ceiling. "Despite the surroundings looking similar to a ruined walkway to the throne area, it does not change still that this is still part of the cave."

"But why is there a place like this in the cave in the first place? I don't think this place was previously a castle and it got destroyed and it became like this." Gobu scratches his head.

I shook my head and can only order them around. "I don't know but since we are here, we should explore and check every nook and cranny of this place. Report to me if you found something strange or something that caught your eye. Let's split up. Lina, come with me. Tina and Gobu, you check the other areas, we will check here."

We separated our ways with only Cotton and Lina with me as we check around. Despite my knowledge in the past, I don't know how Kaisar obtained the Galatine so the only way to know where it was was to explore the massive place.

The place is massive and it felt like a place in castle ruins and you would not easily assume this place was just a part of the cave. We checked on the side and there are even some windows as well. The only thing is that beyond the windows are rocks so even though there are windows, it's totally useless.

"I don't get it, why is this place very similar to a real castle walkway? Yet it is still inside the cave. How come they decided to make it like one? What is the purpose?" Lina is very confused as she saw those windows I am talking about.

Unfortunately, I have no answer to her questions since I am also looking for an answer as well. We continue to move forward and soon enough, we arrived at the throne. There are three chairs sitting there with the middle being the grandest-looking one. And yet, despite looking grand, it is also clear it has been a while since it has been seated upon by anyone as the throne is no longer looking magnificent. But that is not what caught my eye.

Above the throne room is a sword chained in the air. When we slowly approach the sword, it started to release a massive amount of flames on its blade, emitting very hot air all around us. It's like being under the sun for a very long time.

"Stay back, Lina! Protect Cotton! We don't know what are the consequences of her getting real close here."

Lina nodded and immediately backed off. Gobu and Tina also appeared but they can't get close as well due to the raging flames the sword is currently releasing.

Finally, the sword that I have been looking for. The weapon that originally should belong to Kaisar. One of the weapons of the knights of the round table, the Galatine, is now in front of me.
