In the city of Vroston, people are suffering from a curse that absorbs the mana from them, including the nobles. When the king noticed this, he ordered the knights to search for any clues regarding this issue, but nothing came to light. As a result, the king arranged a meeting with the household to discuss this issue. I, as a royal knight, along with General Patricia, went to the meeting.
The king addressed everyone, stating that the curse absorbing mana from people posed a great danger to the kingdom. He mentioned that even holy magic couldn't remove this curse, and information from the guild revealed that it also affected the monsters in the great forest. The king declared that immediate action needed to be taken.
Following this, General Patricia spoke and reported that despite searching the entire city, they couldn't find the source of the curse. There was a strange aura surrounding the city, and they couldn't determine its origin. Additionally, they were unable to communicate with other kingdoms due to the damaged communication system. The general also mentioned that the knights and army were losing their mana, making them weaker. A team was sent to search the entire kingdom to find out the cause of all these issues.
After the general spoke, the Witch of Vroton addressed the king. he mentioned that she found information regarding the curse in a great library; however, it didn't help in identifying the culprit. he explained that the curse was caused by a sacrificial item that absorbed mana from the people and limited the power in the surrounding area. he also stated that the king's blood protected them from the curse. he advised against revealing this information to the people, as it could lead to panic, and shared a legend about powerful monsters that attacked the city every 200 years, which ended when the king's ancestors defeated them. he assured everyone that they should not worry about this legend.
Following the discussion, the priest assured the group that the people were in good health, with their mana being slowly absorbed over time. He warned that if mana fell into the wrong hands, it could lead to something more dangerous, as recorded in the journal of Sico.
After the president mentioned it, the king asked the economists about any changes in the market. They responded, "My king, after observing the current market, we have not observed any changes. It seems to be stable, my king."
After everyone spoke, the general asked if we should seek help from someone outside of our kingdom, as the guild adventurers were also weakening due to aura . After the general gave his opinion on this, the witch also agreed. He mentioned that the neighboring kingdom is far away, and if we were to send someone there, it would take 10 days to reach due to our non-functional teleportation devices and magic, which is caused by a mysterious aura. While searching nearby, we stumbled upon the cursed mountain, which brought sudden silence among the ministers and the king. I was surprised by the silence, and the king mentioned that it was time to call her to help , although I was unaware of who "her" was. The silence intrigued me as they never discussed this name before but only mentioned that her could help in this situation. After that the king mention that she is only person can help on our current situation so we must ask her
So the king ordered the general to go and find her and tell the situation to her.
and the way the general and I(he command me to come along to the mountain )
After that, we began our journey at dawn of the next day to the cursed mountains. Only captain and I went to the cursed mountains. because it was a secret, only known to the king and a few others. We dressed as normal people to reach the cursed mountains. To get there, we had to cross the River of Verona, which is a popular place near the battleground and the towards the village of Tide, which is under our kingdom, so there was no problem there.
It took us a day to reach the River of Vernation, and we traveled on horseback. During our journey, we saw a globally, which is a type of butterfly that glows blue, as a good omen. As the sun began to set, the horses were tired , so we took a short rest to feed the horses and ourselves. When we checked our map, we realized we were near the river, so we started walking since the horses couldn't run. After some time, the captain raised his sword as we felt a strange and powerful aura. We rushed to the source of the screams and found that a monster was attacking people. There were adventurers fighting the monster, and they seemed well-trained. They consisted of a swordsman, a sorcerer, and a defender, as well as the persist. Even though they didn't appear to be a team, they were fighting to save the people. Other adventurers were helping to evacuate the people, and the captain asked me to help with the evacuation while he took care of the situation.
The monster turned out to be a knight boot, born from the feelings of brave soldiers who were killed in a cowardly way. It was an S-class monster, very strong, and fighting with four adventurers and the caption . When I arrived, I sensed the aura that the captain had told me about, so I knew something had happened to the knight boot. After helping the adventurers evacuate the people, I thought I could help the captain, but he stopped me. I observed the situation, as did the other adventurers. When I asked why we weren't helping, the adventures said they were the best fighters, and it wouldn't be right for us to interfere. They asked about our captain, and I couldn't say anything, so I told them we were traveling to the cursed mountains to harvest medicinal plants, as the captain had told me before we began our journey. It all made sense. when I observed the fighters. They fought hard, and the captain seemed to be enjoying the rise and fall of their fight,finally The persist put enchanting for sword of 2 swords man, and the defender, the sword man, slashed at the back of the knight boot. The sorcerer was distracted with his magic, and the defender went to his head and knight boot released a beam. The defender used his shield to block it, and the persist used holy words to release the soul from the knight boot. We were able to release the soul as if it was a kind of sunshine feeling that had been released, and heaven rewarded those fighters and adventurers
After this, the people of river verona celebrated, and we found an inn. The captain was excused from joining the celebration, and before that, he ask to gather information on how the monster had appeared . The captain went to the chief of the village to collect the information , and I collected information from the people. When I asked a man how it happened, as he did not expect me to ask how are you?. He answered that the monster had flown toward them, and when they first saw it, there were actually five of them, but a person looking like a 14 to 16-year-old from the cursed mountains that he saw the boy one or two times in the revir to buy something was there at that time and he defeated them. And he was sleeped
i went to the inn, and I shared this information with the captain. He shared a few things with me, saying that after he defeated that monster, someone was hiding, and he went away , it showed up. When they tried to defeat it, someone in human form appeared and gave something to the rest of monsters. I was surprised that it was even possible, and the captain said we needed to find her first before focusing on this matter. I asked the captain who "her" was, and he told me that she was called the Queen of Cursed Mountains.
