A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 493

Chapter 493: Chapter 368: Island of the Demonic Beast Lady_1 Chapter 493: Chapter 368: Island of the Demonic Beast Lady_1 “This is the place.”

Majeko brought Duanmu Huai to a room located underneath Seth's Royal City. It was a spacious place resembling a warehouse. In the middle, there was a long-neglected magic circle.

“The Demon Beast User once helped Seth repel the attack of the Demon Clan. After that, he left this inheritance under this castle. If anyone can activate this teleportation array, they will be teleported to where the Demon Beast User was and get all his inheritance … at least that's what the royal family archives say.”

“This place doesn't seem to be hidden.”

Duanmu Huai glanced outside – the entrance ticket booth had big conspicuous characters.

“Yes, we also hope to pass on the Demon Beast User Master's inheritance. Therefore, we do not object to the students coming to challenge … However, it's a pity that even till now, no one seems to have successfully triggered the teleportation array.”

“Is it broken or what…?”

“The Court Mage has inspected it, it's perfectly normal.”

“Well……”

Duanmu Huai glanced at the surroundings. It was just him, Ogis, and Majeko. Masou Shizuka accompanied Duanmu Huai as a formality before this and went on a tour to learn about the situation of Seth's Magic Kingdom. Considering it was not safe for her to act alone, Duanmu Huai let Kendou Kanami accompany her.

“Can I give it a try?”

“Of course.”

After receiving Majeko's affirmation, Duanmu Huai and Ogis stepped onto the magic circle. However … there wasn't any reaction.

“Is this thing really not broken? Or do I lack the qualifications?”

Duanmu Huai looked down at the teleportation array again and muttered offhandedly, while Majeko watched the magic circle in puzzlement.

“It doesn't look broken—-”
However, before Majeko could finish her sentence, a faint light flashed abruptly. When Majeko raised her head, Duanmu Huai and Ogis, who were standing on the magic circle, were gone.

“Could it actually work?”

Looking at the empty teleportation array, even Majeko was stunned.

“————–”
A flash of light.

The next moment, a completely different scenery was in front of Duanmu Huai and Ogis.

“It seemed to have worked.”

Duanmu Huai glanced around. He didn't expect the teleportation array to activate suddenly, but it seemed to have successfully brought him to the destination.

Well, this looks like a study with bookshelves all around and a desk set next to it.

However…

“This does not seem to be a deserted place.”

Duanmu Huai approached the desk and ran a finger over it. According to Majeko's explanation, the Demon Beast User was a person from decades ago who should be long dead now. Therefore, he left behind the teleportation array for his successor to inherit his possession. But this place does not seem abandoned for decades. The floor is shiny, there is not a speck of dust on the table, it's clear it's frequently cleaned.

But Majeko said that no one has succeeded in activating the teleportation array, right?

Could it be that somebody has activated it without her knowledge?

Has someone already claimed the Demon Beast User's inheritance? If so, has he come here in vain?

In any case … let's take a look around first.

“Be careful, Ogis.”

“Yes, Master.”

After instructing Ogis, Duanmu Huai walked to the door, opened it, and looked outside – the corridor was also deserted. Duanmu Huai didn't mind; he opened every door he found and inspected the surroundings. Bedrooms, guest rooms, warehouses … these all seemed like vacant places. Although they were very clean, they showed no sign of personal belongings. The house felt more like a hotel room that had just been cleaned by housekeeping.

But who has done this? Could it be the work of a ghost?

Duanmu Huai roamed an entire circle without seeing a single person. However, the moment he entered the main hall, the door suddenly opened, and a girl in a maid outfit came in. Seeing Duanmu Huai, the girl was shocked.

“Who are you?”

While asking, the maid raised the broom in her hand and assumed an attack position. Just in the blink of an eye, she was full of tensity, ready for a fight.

“Are you an intruder? Leave immediately! If not, I'll not be kind!”

“You are the intruder!”

On hearing this, Duanmu Huai couldn't hold back.

“I am human! I teleported here just now from that magic circle!”

“Huh?”

On hearing Duanmu Huai's reply, the maid was stunned for a moment, then put down her broom.

“Are you … a human being?”

“Of course.”

Duanmu Huai took off his hat and revealed his face to the maid. The latter paused a moment after seeing Duanmu Huai's face, then stared at him carefully for a while and nodded.

“I see … are you the heir of Mr. Baberitch's Demon Beast User heritage?”

“… Probably. By the way, has his inheritance been claimed yet?”

“No, Mr. Baberitch's property is still securely kept in this manor.”
