“Just in case, it might be better to go in while maintaining the barriers.”
Mitchell suggested to Benjamin, swearing that he would not release his guard to the end.
“Yeah, that sounds good.”
Agreeing, Benjamin patted Yurisien’s shoulder. Yurisien walked towards Benjamin and pulled his chin.
“I’ll be careful too. So, just think about your lord when you release the barrier.”
“Indeed, the great Windsor. See, you’re asking me the most difficult thing.”
Benjamin shook his head. Thanks to him, the atmosphere, which had felt like walking on thin ice due to the sudden poison attack, was slightly refreshed. The four slowly stepped into the Catacomb.
About twenty stone statues walked in a straight line at regular intervals. Perhaps due to the perfect sealing or the poison inside, not a single spider could be found, let alone mice. Thanks to this, unlike the rusted iron door, the condition of the stone statues and the various stored items around them was very good.
“The grave robbers’ eyes will flip over.”
Ivan’s voice, scanning the stone statues, echoed through the eerily silent Catacomb. It was a blasphemous thought, but everyone swallowed their saliva and moved towards where they might find something.
“Looking at the good condition of items made of soft gold, I feel relieved, thinking that the preservation status of the books will be excellent as well.”
In fact, Yurisien had been worried about whether he could read the books even if they were there. However, he was relieved. At Benjamin’s words, Yurisien let out a little expectation and quickly turned his head.
“I don’t know if there are any devices in the stored items. Never let your guard down. The moment we touch them, they could decay into pieces.”
It was like when the poison spread out as soon as the door opened. Following Yurisien’s tense words, Benjamin, who smirked, promised to keep it in mind and continued walking.
How deep had they gone into the Catacomb like that? At the end of the dead-end road, a staircase leading down was visible. The wall, as high as the height of the giant door, was filled with various murals and stored items, extending underground.
“It’s quite extensive.”
Mitchell swallowed his saliva loudly. When a lamp was shone on the stairs, the underground, like a black beast opening its mouth, was faintly visible. Benjamin threw a pebble rolling around him. Tuck, tuck, turrurrur. The pebble finally stopped after a long time.
“If there are depths in the abyss, it must be like here.”
Ivan swept his forearm, saying it was enough to give him chills just by looking at it. Although his face did not show any inclination, there was nothing he could do.
“Since we haven’t found what we’re looking for here, we should go further.”
“There doesn’t seem to be anything unusual, but…”
Mitchell looked a little uneasy as he glanced at the entrance of the Catacomb.
“Since the barrier is lifted, someone might intrude. You said there was a Sacred Law hiding the location in that barrier.”
Undead creatures may not come this far, but it was different when it came to the people of Heben Church. As Benjamin had to explode an enormous amount of sacred power to undo the barrier, they might have felt something eerie.
“Then let only me and Yurisien go down.”
“Yes, we’ll prepare for any emergencies here. Also, we’ll check how to leave when we get out of here.”
As it was the last gate prepared by an adult, it was time to fill it with poison. The four bid farewell to each other, wishing good luck.
On the way down, Yurisien asked Benjamin.
“What if there’s no way we want down here either?”
“Let’s think about it when we get there. Let’s believe for now that there must be a way here.”
To achieve that, Benjamin comforted Yurisien, saying he wouldn’t have walked that dangerous path for nothing. However, even Benjamin’s fingertips, walking down the damp and slippery stone stairs, were shaking ever so slightly. He is the Crown Prince, a noble of this country, and at the same time, a person who came out into the world to fulfill the role of a leader. He had a mission to save this world.
However, when he walked down for a long time and descended the last stairs, he couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
“…Sigh.”
A space so cramped that just reaching out with the hand holding the lamp illuminated the surroundings. There was not a single book in that place.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
