At the front were the guards of White Moonlight and Princess Snow...I remembered, it should be called Shan, and behind them were Black Rory and Princess Snow, who needed to lead the way after all.
And I, Oyado and Arlene are in charge of the temple back, after all, although the rest of the disciplinary committee can't see the rank, but the students inside this academy...I can probably know what level they are at. So, I confirm that the current distribution is the safest.
It's an escape tunnel, but from the level of workmanship on the walls, I can tell that the builder put a lot of thought into this tunnel.
If it's just an escape tunnel, there's no need to make the walls so smooth, right?
But what's worth caring about is that this passage has existed for a long time, so doesn't anyone other than the royal family know about it... Wait, based on what Domis and Duran just said, it seems like they shouldn't have anything to do with the royal family, so why would they know about the entrance?
I always felt that it was better not to ask such a question.
I tried not to focus on that question and instead continued to look at the walls of the passage.
The light source in the passageway is the magic crystals, and there are more magic crystals because they last longer.
But there was almost no dust on the top of either the oil lamps or the magic lamps, so it looked like they had been cleaned regularly.
It seems like this passage is still being maintained, is it from the school side or....
No matter, the existence of this tunnel is weird anyway, if one country attacks another and tries to kidnap their children, but all the royals know about such a tunnel, how can they still run?
The only possibility is that the western continent attacks the eastern continent so that it makes sense to hide.
Was the initial establishment of this passage built on the premise that the Western Continent would not have a civil war? I wonder what those people were thinking.
Soon the passage reached a fork in the road, and Princess Cheryl reached out her hand to point in one of the directions.
"This is the confluence, all the escape routes inside the academy will converge here and then lead to somewhere else."
Princess Cheryl said, then continued onward.
"Several groups of people have already walked through here..."
Heiroli looked down at the ground and then said.
Although she was a spirit archer, having a sharp observation should be a common characteristic of archers.
"There should be three groups of people, nine in total, and there's no snake demon like the one just now."
Ojado added.
"Because there's no traces of those snake demons crawling on the ground, unless the other party was inside in the first place, that's a different story."
"It shouldn't be very likely, since we've already walked through here once before and didn't see anyone on the way,"
Princess Cheryl responded.
Looking at Princess Cheryl, Ojado nodded.
"Indeed, there are traces of you walking back on the ground, but strangely enough, there weren't any other people's...did they go to that passage as well?"
"It's quite possible, after all, now that the exit is sealed on one side and there are monsters on the other, more people would be willing to take a gamble in that so-called dangerous place, right? After all, they are all possible future royalty, so this level of judgment should still be there."
Princess Snow said, looking ahead.
"Let's hurry, we're almost there. Didn't you also say, Phil, that it's better to have more people?"
"Well...yes."
If there are nine of them, that shouldn't be too many, it should be fine.
But compared to the royal family, I'd rather come down with Mary-sensei and the others.
While they were walking, I looked to Ojado.
"When you were observing just now, were there Mary-sensei and the others inside?"
"No, only Tai Shii's footprints, Mary-sensei's and the others' aren't in there."
"Great, Tai Shi Xi-san is also strong, we're already more secure against the enemy if she joins us."
Next to her, Arlene suddenly said.
"En, also right. By the way Yaling how do you know that Tai Shi Xi is strong? It seems like... I don't think you've ever fought together, have you?"
"It's because when I was returning to the academy from the Chelfa Kingdom for us, it was Tai Shixi-san who accompanied me here, and I had asked her for advice on how to become stronger at the back, so she taught me a set of sword techniques. I didn't expect her to use a sword in addition to a halberd ah."
...I can too, are you afraid?
"En, wouldn't that be nice?"
"Yeah, but to be honest, I'd prefer to cultivate the [Ice Magic Knight Ordeal], but... I always feel like I've reached a bottleneck and can't go further. It's probably because my bloodline isn't pure enough."
"No, no, that bloodline has nothing to do with it, although I personally don't know much about magic... Don't look at me like that, I know that although I'm a magician, my attainments with magic are limited to using it, the details... just... Give me a break."
Seeing Arlene's eyes narrow, I even skirted my gaze.
"All in all, it's not so much about your bloodline as it is that your mastery of magic isn't as straightforward as your mastery of swordsmanship, no you see!"
After saying that, I summoned the Ice Armor and then the Ice Sword.
"A full set of ice knight armor... Geez, I can only summon swords and shields."
I wiped my sweat as I looked at Yaling's surprised expression.
I can still summon ice wolves and ice dragons, but that won't irritate you now.
"That's why you should ask Mary-sensei to learn some skills on top of magic, so you should progress much faster."
"I see, I see!"
Looking at her happy look, I smiled and asked.
"By the way, what sword techniques did Tai Shi Xi teach you?"
"This ah... it's called [Taiji Sword] again."
"Taiji...?"
"Yeah, it says that it's an eastern style of swordsmanship that's different from the rigid western swordsmanship, which looks lighter and more floating and... what's it called, using softness to overcome strength. Probably that's the word."
"Yes, yes, that's the word."
My god... Tai Shi Xi you actually taught people from the Western Continent to learn the sword techniques of the Eastern Continent.
This is really........
It's perfect!
I don't know how it is for the rest of the western continent, but I do think that for Yaling, those rigid and hard sword skills are bad instead, but the only lighter ones in western sword arts are the royal ones.
That kind of thing... I don't know where I learned that skill, but normally only royalty can learn it, right?
For Yaling...it's indeed out of reach.
But the oriental swordsmanship is different!
Although in the old world, most of the Chinese martial arts were taught by the elderly to cultivate their health, there were probably many martial arts masters back in the ancient times.
I wish I could see the use of such martial arts, I also have many oriental abilities here, I'll try them one by one some day.
"This is the place."
Suddenly, Princess Xue'er in front of me suddenly said.
I he looked up to the front, on the right side of the passage, a large six-pointed star symbol appeared on top of a closed stone door, the doorway still had a seal on it, than it was torn.
"There are signs of it being opened, and just a short while ago, it does look like someone entered."
I nodded my head when I heard Black Lori's words.
"Then it's not too late, let's go in."
