Queen of Avalon: Adventure Solo

Chapter 17 - The Truth

[The system is translating the language in the book to be understood]

[Loading.3..2..1].

[Language has been translated]

"Hmmm, that's interesting."

Eli not only turned over every page in the book, but he also read it carefully; remembering that this was the book that Visati showed him.

The contents inside were so attractive as well as making him shudder.

[The system is translating the language in the book to be understood]

Just imagine if the system could not translate the language in the book, surely Elizabeth would not get very valuable information.

[Language has been translated]

"It's so exciting. It is here explained that Eqaba is a small part of the land of the continent of Algazea that was split due to a great battle against the Demon God hundreds of years ago. Algazea is described as a prosperous continent, where all races live in safety and tranquility without any distinction."

Elves, Beastmen, Mermaids, and Valkyries were the four races that lived on the Algazea continent. However, when the Demon God descended into this world and caused chaos. The four kings of each region tried to resist but their efforts were in vain. Eqaba, as the land where the elven kingdom stood split from the Algazea and away from the continent.

And it also made the number of war forces decrease drastically.

It was also explained that Eqaba had not been freed from the attack of the demonic forces at that time. The elves were still desperately trying to augment their war fleet but the results were in vain. They failed and the demon army still dominated this land to this day.

"Hmmm..."

It was so sad to know that the elves here had to fight, survive the demons.

"I wonder what the fate of the other races in the Algazea is?"

Eli opened another sheet and the system translated it.

According to the author of the book, it was written at least one day after Eqaba was released from Algazea. So, the story of the state of the other races in the continent was so little.

"It's so confusing."

In contrast to the history lessons she had learned in the academy, Elizabeth was so confused in studying the history of the elves. There are some symbols, like Erendriel said that there are some images that are so unique.

Whatisthis? Eli was immediately drawn to a courtyard, where there were several images of stones with such a unique symbol engraved on them. What are these stones? Why is there a carving on each stone?

"That's mysterious. The color of each stone is different."

The one in the previous courtyard contained two stones with an aura drawn in blue and purple, red and green in the next courtyard.

The stones gave a mysterious impression and added to Eli's curiosity.

"System! Can you translate and provide information about this stone?"

Eli silenced for a moment the book he was holding, he did not open a new leaf.

The system also reads.

[Try to scan the page.]

[Information retrieval takes a while.]

[Loading.].

Unlike before, where the system can directly translate this book quickly.

I hope it works, Eli thought as he stretched out his body and leaned against the chair.

[Loading.5.4.3.2.1].

[Systems successfully filter and scan information from books]

[System will display it]

"Finally, I've guessed the system can do everything."

I was happily waiting for the information the system would provide.

...[.Rune Stone]...

...[.Type: ???]...

...[.Scarcity: ???]...

...[.When monsters die, their power will be stored in this stone. Their skills and abilities can be had when breaking this stone.]...

When he saw the information plastered in front of him, Eli immediately smiled.

"Rune rock? Is this the kind of crystal-like stone I got after killing the giant wolf?"

"It doesn't seem to."

Eli could see a significant difference between the stone and the crystal he had.

Even though he got the information, he still did not understand. Eli was unable to find any further data on the rune stone.

As the stone is depicted in this old book, Eli cannot resist his thoughts. If it had been history, it would have seemed that this thing was long gone.

"Hmmm"

Eli sighed, opening a new sheet with his finger.

As time went on, he did not know how long he had been reading the book.

It looks like it's almost at the end of the page.

"The rest were just words from the previous elves. It's so much fun that it takes a long time to read it."

After reading the book, Eli looked around the room.

Visati room is not too bright but because of enough lighting, he can see in all directions.

"I wonder how things are at the Academy."

Knowing if time keeps going and he knows that time in his world is different here. Eli came out of Visati's house.

The sunlight shone so brightly, because he was too long inside the house so Eli needed to close his gaze for a while with his arm. After his vision improved, he immediately looked around.

He couldn't see anyone there.

However, from a distance he could see Visati and Erendriel chatting with each other.

"ah! You guys!"

Eli shouted, waving his hands towards them.

The two elves immediately turned around and saw Eli was walking towards them.

The two immediately greeted the girl.

"Have you finished reading that book?" Erendriel said, walking in tandem with Visati.

"Yes, I read it."

"Is there a problem, son?"

"To be honest, what you say is true. There are so many sentences and symbols that I can't understand."

After trying to translate into a language that was easily understood by him, Eli was still unable to understand.

Especially the pictures and symbols in the book.

"Grandmother Visati, there's something I want to ask."

"What thing?"

Eli showed me the book he had brought and opened it. "Do you understand these symbols?" said Eli.

Visati watches carefully what Eli shows her, and so does Erendriel. He was curious and looked into the book.

"ah! It's the language of the ancient dragon."

"In ancient dragon language!?"

It is hard to believe that there is such a language.

Eli was really surprised. It was fitting that his alphabet was so foreign and strange in his eyes.

The shape of each letter is not like being written using an ink pen, but more like being written using claws or nails, striped.

"This is a language that has long since become extinct, and can only be spoken by all the dragon races."

"Why is that, grandma?"

"Konon said, the language they use is not only used as a tool to communicate but also they can use as a combat tool."

"How is it?" ask Eli.

"Dragon is a species of monster that has enormous power. You need not be surprised if when you get enough power, then you will be able to communicate with them. The Dragonic language has long been used to create magic spells with a great level of power." Erendriel said at length.

Thinking only that the words they spoke already contained such great power, Eli was really worried that he would look directly at the dragon.

They were monstrous monsters that had become a scourge for every war in their dwellings thousands of years ago.

"Dragonic? Can I learn it?"

However, nothing can hold back the curiosity of a 15-year-old girl.

"That's why you came here, Elizabeth."

"What do you mean, Visati?"

"You're destined to kill them."

"You mean.the dragons?"

Erendriel nodded her head.

"No! nay! nay! I have to kill the dragons? That's musta-"

Impossible? Did I just say "impossible" with my own mouth? thought Eli. Visati came and took Eli's right hand, giving him a little warmth.

"Look! You said yourself that you were impossible and now you're rejecting it. I can see your personality very clearly, Elizabeth. Your figure in my view, so big and so big compared to a mountain."

He did not understand what the grandmother was saying to him.

However, for some reason he felt like he was running out of ideas to say a word. His mind and gaze felt so hollow.

"What's going on? Why can't I think clearly?"

Then, without further ado Erendriel and Visati pulled Eli's hand.

Take him into the woods. Eli could not pull his hand, the strength of the two elves was so strong.

"Where are you taking me!?"

"We'll show you something that can change the way you think."

The two elves continued to pull Elizabeth's hand and carried her into the forest. The atmosphere became dark due to the sunlight covered by the dense foliage and trees.

His heart is beating so fast.

In time, Visati and Erendriel stopped and removed their hands from the girl.

The two of them reached the ruins that were like a giant wall.

In the ruins there is a hole covered by roots from growing creeping.

Elizabeth gasped for breath, watching her wrists where there were bruises caused by the grip of the two elves.

"What's wrong with you guys!?"

Eli could not help his emotions that were slowly starting to stir in his heart.

He really wanted to pull out his sword and kill those two elves.

"Why are you pulling me!?"

Erendriel did not look at the girl directly, only Visati, she looked at Eli with an inexplicable look on her face.

Sounding from both of them breathing.

"Follow us." said Visati, Erendriel followed.

Elizabeth was worried, she was worried if anything happened to her. So he just kept silent first without following where the two of them would take him again.

"You don't have to be afraid, son."

Erendriel stopped a few meters from where Elizabeth stood. The path he stepped on was uphill and there were roots blocking their path ahead.

Visati says. "This is something we want to show you."

His hand went in and got rid of the root.

The sunlight came in so bright.

"What's out there?" ask Eli.

"I don't explain to you when you need to see it yourself."

The situation became increasingly awkward, Eli still sighed.

He turned his eyes to Erendriel. The old man replied with a smile accompanied by a warm look.

Elizabeth knew that she was a good elf. He also could not feel any killing instincts from her.

It also made her feel a little calmer.

"You don't have to be afraid, son."

Erendriel reached out her hand to Elizabeth, smiling at her.

"Come."

Elizabeth threw away all her strange thoughts. He walked slowly, ascending and standing between Erendriel and Visati.

His eyes were also forward.

Eli held his breath, his heart seemed to stop beating. His mouth opened and said. "What's that!?" with a vibrating tone.

...******...

The sight that was in front of me was able to make my blood churn so high.

As I stared down, only a bottomless abyss was found.

While in front there, on a high mountain stood a building. I know it's not an ordinary building, because it looks like a tower so I call it a tower.

"What's that?"

The atmosphere above was blood red: the clouds and the sky. It was as if I was dealing with a territory I called "Hell".

Although the distance was quite far away, I could feel a strong dark air from that direction.

"It's the Tower of Doom" Visati said beside me.

"The Tower of Doom?"

"The place where the demons live, or you can be their home, their place of residence."

"What's in there? And...why is the atmosphere so creepy?"

Even though I've killed a giant wolf, an Ogre, and a Tarantula. The fear inside me was constantly coming out, as if running inside a vein and making it vibrate.

"Fearful? Why should I be afraid?"

Elizabeth turned her gaze toward Visati but was surprised to find her standing and looking at her with tears.

Visati cried and clasped Elizabeth's hand tightly.

"Elizabeth, please grant our request!"

"W-what is grandma talking about? What's the matter actually!?"

"Son, listen carefully. You're the prophecy we've been waiting for for hundreds of years. Man who will bring peace to the land of Eqaba. So please go over there and kill the Demon King."

The voices of Erendriel and Visati were so quivering, they both knelt towards me.

"Grandmother! Grandpa stop! What have you guys done? Let's wake!"

"No! We won't wake up until you accept our request."

Visati insisted on not getting up from her position. Tears have poured so hard from both of her tears.

I looked at Erendriel who was doing the same position.

"Grandfather?"

My heart broke immediately to find Erendriel who was already in a prostrate position towards me.

I loudly shouted.

"Grandfather! Don't be like this! Get up, grandpa!"

There was no response from Erendriel.

I wonder, is this the main purpose of me going here? Helping them to escape the grasp of the Demon King.

My confidence faded for a moment.

I know that I am stronger than the others, and yet.. defeated the Demon King? Isn't that too heavy?

"Elizabeth..."

I turned.

"There's one thing you really need to know."

Visati got up from her position, wiped away the tears and looked at me with her serious gaze.

His gaze seemed to enter my soul.

"What's up, grandma?"

"Regarding yourself, maybe this is a truth you haven't heard in your entire life."

"My soul?"

"... in fact, you are not a child of the Count and Countess of Islan."

My heart stopped beating.

Only one word came out of my mouth with my body as still as a statue.

"What?"
