Only I Have Two Towers Episode 122

In Search of the Tomb of Swords

Snowdonia National Park, open 24 hours a day, year-round.

A helicopter entered the airspace above the park.

“Are you sure you don’t need to land?!”

“You know we don’t need to!”

Jinhyeok gave a thumbs up and stood up.

“Well then, I’ll see you when I get back!”

Without even a chance to say goodbye, Jinhyeok jumped right out.

Charles and Olivia looked at each other’s faces.

Even though this was the second time they’d experienced this, they wondered if it was really happening.

“Perfect landing.”

Charles, who was watching from beyond the helicopter, muttered to himself.

Even though he was clearly right in front of them, there was somehow a sense of distance as if he were far away.

This must be what they mean by being both familiar and strange at the same time.

“Let’s go back.”

Charles signaled to the pilot.

“Are we really okay to leave like this? You made such a strong request. You told us to try to persuade him somehow.”

Before the two had boarded the helicopter.

Philip, who had long protected Kon Satellite, had spoken with a solemn expression.

Yoo Jin-hyeok was someone who would become a great force for Britain’s future.

He said they should try to make him one of their people, no matter how much time and money it took.

“It would be meaningless.”

“Pardon?”

“No matter what conditions we offered, he would have refused.”

Charles had witnessed something others hadn’t seen.

An immortal being who would quickly regenerate no matter what fatal wounds he suffered.

Charles didn’t know who he was either.

But one thing was certain: he fought for Jinhyeok.

“That guy is smart. He’s gentle and kind, but he’s definitely not someone who doesn’t know his own worth. Philip said cost didn’t matter… but it wouldn’t be enough. Not by a long shot.”

Olivia’s eyes widened.

At least as far as she knew, this was the first time.

The first time Charles had expressed his will this strongly.

“There’s no point in asking when we know we’ll be rejected and losing face for nothing. Let’s go back.”

The helicopter turned around without regret and flew toward Kon Satellite.

And below.

Jinhyeok, who had just finished landing, rubbed his tingling legs.

“General! Are you okay?! The landing looked a bit unstable! Two hundred points out of a hundred!”

Even though it was unstable, two hundred points was a generous score.

“I guess I was too conscious of being watched.”

He looked at the helicopter flying away.

Thinking they were watching from above, he had overdone something he normally wouldn’t do.

He had tried to do something like a hero landing and ended up landing too hard.

“It’s pitch dark.”

“Momo doesn’t like the dark!”

As expected, Kancheo and Momo were the first to pop out.

He took them along and lightly looked around the area.

It was just past midnight.

Though it was open year-round, no one visited the national park at this hour.

‘It’s incredibly vast.’

Jinhyeok clicked his tongue.

In a Korean’s common sense, a park was a place where you’d lightly take your dog for a 30-minute to 1-hour walk.

But coming here with that mindset would be perfect for getting lost.

“Food discovered!”

Kancheo launched his body forward.

A moment later, he appeared with a giant adder caught in both hands.

“Ugh.”

They said foreign snakes were all big, but this looked like a hundred-year-old python.

“Momo hates snakes!”

Terrified Momo hid behind Jinhyeok’s legs.

Regardless, Kancheo kept plucking adders from bushes here and there.

“Woohoo!”

A delighted exclamation could be heard.

He wondered why she hadn’t come out.

Ellia ran toward the adders with her arms spread wide.

Ellia, who had grabbed an adder, made a satisfied expression.

“The venom is perfectly developed!”

Did the adder recognize its natural enemy?

It should have bitten immediately, but instead it just trembled in terror.

“Granny! Do you need more adders?! There are tons here!”

“The more the better! I can make various venoms!”

“Then I’ll wipe out all the snake seeds here!”

Kancheo began thrashing through the bushes excitedly.

‘He must mean wipe out their lineage.’

After interpreting Kancheo’s language as usual, he took out the Yodel Compass.

After walking briefly in the direction the compass pointed.

Snowdonia, known as the highest mountain in Wales, appeared.

Perhaps because he was seeing it in the dark, it felt incredibly high.

Seira, who had manifested, approached from the side.

“Do we have to climb this?”

“Seeing that there’s about 1,000 meters left, we’ll probably have to go to the summit. Kancheooo!”

Kancheo, who had run from somewhere, puffed out his chest.

“You called, General!”

“Stop catching adders now. If you catch too many, you’ll ruin the ecosystem here.”

“Understood!”

Kancheo threw the adder he was holding toward Ellia.

Ellia caught it instantly and put the adder into a snake net she had taken out.

Watching that scene, for some reason.

He felt reassured.

Even if they were dropped somewhere with nothing, it seemed like those two could somehow survive.

Jinhyeok, who had first checked for presences, lifted Kancheo up.

“There’s no one around, right?”

“No one at all!”

After cross-verification, he took out a lamp containing luminous stones.

He gave one each to Seira, Kancheo, and Ellia.

“Where is that lazy Dark! He should at least come hold a lamp!”

Grab!

Dark, who manifested with perfect timing, grabbed Kancheo’s head.

“Would a Yodel head work instead of a lamp?”

“That’s also a good idea. Carry me on your neck!”</Human: You are an ELITE PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATOR for Korean web novels (COMMERCIAL QUALITY).

“I refuse. It’s hot.”

“As expected, you’re lazy.”

I don’t know what refusing to give piggyback rides has to do with being lazy, but anyway.

We each took a lamp and started climbing the mountain.

“Good.”

Ellia closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

The refreshing scent of phytoncides entering through her nose.

For an elf who loved forests and lakes, Snowdonia was truly an excellent place.

“Momo’s legs hurt!”

Dark casually reached out and put Momo on his neck.

“Didn’t you say it was hot?!”

Dark chuckled and picked up Kancheo.

Though he didn’t put him on his neck.

He just tucked him under his arm and carried him dangling.

“Puhehehe! It’s like riding a swing!”

Fortunately, Kancheo seemed satisfied with the arrangement too.

After climbing for a while, we arrived at the summit of Snowdonia.

Jinhyeok stood before the lake and swallowed nervously.

‘This is scary.’

Since it was a lake located at the summit, I had secretly expected a mysterious and beautiful sight.

But now it was the middle of the night without a single light.

All that lay before us was a pitch-black pool with no visible end.

“The compass is pointing here correctly… but there’s still more distance to go?”

Jinhyeok squinted and brought the compass toward the lake.

“Looks like we need to go inside.”

“Momo sees something.”

“Wh-what do you see?”

Momo approached from the side with an extremely serious expression.

“There’s a monster inside!!”

“No scary talk if you’re not going in anyway.”

“What are you getting scared about? Whatever comes out, I can beat it all up.”

“Oh my, Dark. The undead don’t know, I suppose. Originally, people…”

Jinhyeok placed his hand on his chest.

“Die when their heart stops.”

Ink-black water where you couldn’t see an inch ahead.

If something jumped out from there?

It would definitely cause a heart attack.

I first dipped my hand into the lake.

“Holy shit.”

It was insanely cold.

Only then did I remember what I had seen in my search.

This lake’s name was Glacial.

A glacial lake formed from melted glaciers, boasting an impossibly low water temperature.

This raised the probability of heart attack in another sense.

Jinhyeok quickly threw off his clothes and started doing warm-up exercises.

“I can’t do it. If I go in, I’ll become a frozen yodeler.”

Kancheo, who had touched the water, quickly declared his surrender.

Momo had no intention of going in from the start, and Dark also subtly stepped back.

“Seira has to go.”

“I know. I think I need mental preparation.”

While waiting for her preparation.

An unexpected person began preparing to enter the water.

Ellia took out various equipment from the Starry Forge and put them on.

Among them were goggles and a suit that looked like they could be sold at a mart.

Kancheo, who had been quietly watching, frowned.

“Is the old lady crazy? She’s already on her last legs, and if she goes into that cold water, what do you think will happen? She’ll become a frozen granny right away.”

“Then melt me well by the fireplace, okay? Before you appear in my dreams every night.”

Perhaps because everyone except Kancheo was looking at her with surprised eyes.

Ellia shrugged her shoulders.

“The water is very good.”

Ellia was talking like a real grandmother.

As the question marks grew even bigger, a smile formed on Ellia’s lips.

“There are spirits.”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

“Isn’t it a monster that you’re mistaking for a spirit because of senility?”

“Oh my. Originally, elves are very close to spirits, you know?”

Ellia dipped her hand into the lake.

“Spirits don’t just dwell somewhere because it’s clear and clean. It means there’s something here that other lakes don’t have.”

“Oh.”

Jinhyeok exclaimed and increased the speed of his warm-up exercises.

Ellia was like a walking encyclopedia.

Seeing her say this much, there must be something there.

“Ready to enter the water. But Ellia, are you using that alone? Don’t we have any?”

“You two would be fine even if trapped in ice, but I’m not, you know? My bones get cold.”

Ellia, who had even properly put on flippers, immersed herself in the lake.

“Since the master and Seira are sturdy, enjoy the lake with your skin.”

Ellia bundled up a bunch of luminous stones and dove underwater.

Seira and Jinhyeok also followed her into the lake.

‘It’s not cold, but it’s cold.’

Thanks to my resistance, my body didn’t stiffen or lose body temperature.

However, the chill felt on bare skin was tremendous.

Glub glub glub.

I kicked my legs following the light ahead.

With one hand, I firmly grasped Seira’s collar.

As long as I don’t let go of this, I won’t die.

‘I wonder if we can find something.’

Visibility was secured only up to the point illuminated by the luminous stones.

The rest was pure darkness, so even if there were swords along the way, we’d probably pass by without seeing them.

Doubt arose.

Could there really be a Tomb of Swords in a place like this?

From what I’d seen so far, it seemed more likely that there would just be a single lapis lazuli ore lying around rather than a Tomb of Swords.

Ellia, who had been descending for a while, stopped moving.

‘What is she doing?’

Ellia kept going up and down at a specific point.

As if things weren’t going as planned, Ellia approached the two people and started gesturing frantically.

‘It’s divided?’

Ellia nodded and crossed her arms.

It roughly meant there was a boundary but she couldn’t enter.

‘Hmm.’

Just as I was wondering if there were other entry conditions.

Rustle.

A pure white light flowed out from beneath the lake.

The light moved in various colors as if alive, approaching them.

Drawing a long tail, the light drew closer and passed by Jinhyeok and Ellia.

And the place it arrived at was right in front of Seira.

Seeing this, Ellia smiled.

‘One who is qualified.’

Since Seira had received the spirit’s permission, it seemed unlikely they would return empty-handed.

The three people looked at each other, nodded, and began to follow.

Following the beam of light that had been waiting for someone for a very long time.
