Chapter 679 – Chapter 679 Magic School Shutra (5)
(No, who is this!)
Upon arriving at the cemetery, the first person to greet us was Luna’s grandfather and Jurgen’s father.
(Father, mother… I’m sorry I haven’t seen you until now.)
(Sorry….)
(What are you talking about! Don’t say that!)
(I can’t wait to see you again…)
Luna’s grandparents, who had been the most calm when they met before, were the loudest and most excited about Jurgen and Nora.
If you think about it, that would be a natural reaction.
Well, it can’t be all good because it’s a situation to greet a dead child, but just meeting like this will be happy enough.
The spirits that heard the sound of Luna’s grandparents gradually began to gather.
Everyone was welcoming Jurgen and Nora rather than me.
In the midst of such a welcome ceremony, one of the spirits opened his mouth while looking in my direction.
(By the way, who is the wife next to you?)
As soon as everyone heard the spirit speak, all eyes turned to Claudia.
Claudia, with a puzzled look on her face, recalled a single word.
(Cheer up….)
“….”
Claudia looked like she was in her mid-twenties at least.
Even though she was a Stra student, she had a youthful appearance that made her believe.
In comparison, she had the appearance of the spirits in this place in their 70s or older.
Claudia stepped on her other leg, looking at the spirits that seemed to have outlived her.
‘Kya… Posture is art.’
Claudia poses like a local high school bully in a pure white dress.
Claudia had a bad posture and a bad voice to match.
(If you are curious about the other person, isn’t it polite to introduce yourself first?)
Claudia was not wrong.
But even that would be different depending on her opponent.
The other person was an old man who seemed to be in his 70s and seemed to have died.
It seemed that the age difference was enough to make them feel bad and angry, but the old man cleared his throat and nodded at Claudia’s words.
(Kuhmm… Excuse me, it’s been a while since I’ve been an outsider. I’m Ochen Stadtfeld.)
Okay… I endured it well.
Your patience now… The future you will be proud of.
Contrary to my expectations, however, Claudia became more angry at the old man’s words.
(Excuse me!)
(!?)
“….”
It seemed like it would take me quite a while to understand Claudia.
Claudia started scolding the old man for being humble.
(Anyway… This guy, that guy, all of them just drank a lot of noble water….)
(Gee, calm down.)
(Yes, please consider being polite.)
As Jurgen and Nora became restless at the sight of Claudia, everyone began to be puzzled by the appearance of the two.
The old man, suddenly confused by Claudia, didn’t know what the situation was, so he asked the two of them.
(Who the hell is this woman?)
(That, that….)
Jurgen straightened his stance with a trembling voice, stretched out one hand toward Claudia, and opened his mouth as he bowed toward the spirits.
(The person here… Claudia Stadtfeld…. Is the first head of the household.)
..
..
After Jurgen’s introduction, the cemetery was in an uproar.
If Luna’s ancestors were real people, they would have sent people from Atler Castle a long time ago.
The sound was so loud that it rang through the mountains.
At first, everyone couldn’t believe it.
But even that was short-lived.
As Jurgen and Nora explained everything step by step, everyone began to believe more and more.
And it was because of the stories she told that all the spirits believed in Claudia’s existence.
Claudia giggled at the old man she had earlier called her wife and daughter.
(Didn’t you ever come to the underground and pray to connect with a northern noblewoman?)
The old man who had been scolded by Claudia earlier shouted loudly as her face turned red.
(No, I never did!!)
(Don’t lie. Do you think I’ll forget that? How desperately do you want me to come three times a day and ask for a connection…)
(I, please stop….)
(Oh my… Did you want to marry me like that? Fufufu….)
Claudia proved her existence by reciting her words that all her spirits had come before her.
However, in the process, the remaining spirits of the spirits were also eroded.
But in comparison, Claudia….
She (she married FYI and came back a year later, she said she was sorry for praying then and begged to inherit it again.)
(…You.)
(Now, wait! Oh, misunderstanding!)
(You didn’t know northern women were so cold-blooded?)
(…Wait a minute, come here.)
(Great…)
(Puhahaha!)
They were rejoicing as if the clogged blood for 300 years had been cleared.
While Claudia was chatting with her spirits so excitedly, I headed to Jurgen and Nora’s graveyard.
Unlike Claudia, they could go far, but they followed me to their graveyard.
(Is this….)
(Something strange. Actually, we weren’t here.)
The graves of Jurgen and Nora.
Actually, the two owners of the cemetery were not here, and Luna had spent the day looking at the grave without them.
“I’ll be sure to bring you before I leave.”
(…Yes. Thank you.)
I listened to those words of gratitude and placed the cloth with the ashes in front of the cemetery.
‘For now, let’s simply bury them, and then make a coffin officially….’
It was the moment when I looked at the tomb and made plans.
“Hey.”
“….”
Is that a lie?
At first, I thought I had heard it wrong because of the noise of the spirits.
But let the voice that called me call me one more time….
“Hey. Are you ignoring me?”
(….)
As the voices of the spirits faded in an instant, they had no choice but to accept the reality.
I turned my head and opened my mouth.
“Why?”
Beneath the mana stone that illuminated the inside of the building….
“Sung Soo-ho….”
Louise was glaring at me with her arms crossed.
Louis slowly moved towards me, arms crossed and still staring.
“Sung Soo-ho, why are you here?”
“….”
Having failed to answer Lewis’ question, I started assuming the worst.
What if Lewis saw me digging up the remains from the flower bed?
And what if you adapt it at will and spread it around?
There was a high possibility of causing a strange misunderstanding.
If Karin was there, it would be easy to deal with it, but it is impossible to completely get rid of rumors once they spread.
Okay. It’s enough to just ignore rumors.
However….
‘It doesn’t matter if I’m caught digging up the flower bed or if I’m caught visiting the graveyard. But the fact that they dug up their remains must never be discovered.’
No matter how well-intentioned I acted, the act of digging up the remains of Jurgen and Nora wouldn’t be easy for Luna to understand.
It is possible to make them understand, but it is not easy right now.
While he couldn’t easily organize such complicated thoughtsheheard Armonia’s voice.
[Even if Louise saw it, she wouldn’t have been able to identify even the items that Guardian had dug up in the darkness.]
‘But….’
Armonia’s words lightened her heart a little, but she didn’t let her guard down.
I continued the conversation with a calm expression.
“I just stopped by once.”
“It’s just….”
Louis started to smile as he spoke.
‘What? They don’t seem interested in what I brought.’
Lewis didn’t seem interested in the cloth he had placed in front of the cemetery.
No… It seemed that he didn’t even know that there was a wrapping cloth.
Lewis smiled and looked around.
“The Graveyard of the Stadtfeld family… It’s great that you’re creating a place like this. All of our ancestors are enshrined in the cemetery outside the mansion.”
I opened my mouth in annoyance at the sight of Louis giving such a long speech.
“What did you come for?”
“… I came because you were heading to the back mountain, so I wanted to plot some scheme.”
If it was pretending not to know, he was good enough to win the best actor award, but the Lewis I knew was not that kind of guy.
‘At that level, it’s safe to say that I really don’t know.’
Judging that, I hardened my expression and opened my mouth.
“Ha… Are you here to confess? I have no intention of accepting a confession from a man, so I will decline it in advance.”
“Aww….”
Lewis cracked his smile at my provocation and began to frown on his face.
(Puhaha! You speak well.)
And Claudia, who was impressed by Louis’ appearance, began to laugh cheerfully.
Louis, not feeling Claudia’s smile, frowned at her and opened her mouth.
“I always think about it, but the tone goes beyond frivolous and vulgar. Could Luna be kind to a guy like you….”
“….”
Lewis’s appearance was slightly different than usual.
It was Lewis’ way to fight short, and to fall quickly.
Today, however, I was in the middle of giving a long speech that made me think I was bored.
“I just can’t understand… For a commoner like you with good grades….”
As Louis slowly extended his words, Claudia cautiously stood next to me and opened her mouth.
(Hey… It’s been a while since I’ve been dead, but I’m still giving this advice because I still have a good feeling for things like this….)
“… ?”
Before Claudia could say anything more, Louis began to straighten his shoulders.
“I don’t understand Luna being kind.”
At the same time as Luis’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, Claudia warned me.
(Hey. That bastard is serious. He really looks like he’ll run to kill you, so be careful.)
***
Louis smiled at Seong Soo-ho’s gradual vigilance.
‘Finally, we’re alone.’
While looking out the window, I accidentally found Seongsuho.
I don’t know what he’s doing, but Lewis caught the image of Seongsuho using a magic circle that emits light in a flower bed.
After Seongsu-ho used magic like that, he started heading towards the mountain behind Atler.
I wasn’t interested in where Seongsuho was headed.
He wasn’t interested in what kind of magic Seong Soo-ho used.
I wasn’t interested in what purpose Seongsuho was.
Lewis just followed his instincts and went up the hill behind the Seongsu Lake.
At first he wanted to fight him and restore his peace of mind.
But with each step he climbed, the instinct inside him gradually began to change his thoughts.
Okay….
‘In the first place, I didn’t come here to pick a fight.’
Lewis is an aristocrat.
He was also the eldest son of a ducal family in charge of Levin’s central politics, not just a half-assed aristocrat.
Let’s say Lewis gets into a fight with a commoner in a remote place and kills the commoner.
If Sung Soo-ho lived in the world, Louis would have gone to prison.
However, this was not the world Seong Soo-ho lived in.
When Lewis says that a commoner threatened him and killed him, the whole case ends right away.
That was Levin.
‘Alone… It’s finally just the two of us.’
Louis smiled happily at Seong Soo-ho’s hardened expression.
“Why are you making that face? Anyone who sees it will know what I am saying to you.”
“… Let’s go out.”
Louis spat out a laugh at Sung Soo-ho’s words.
“You want to go out all of a sudden? Why? Even if I attack you….”
“Now this is the place where Luna’s ancestors rest. It won’t be good for you if you get caught by Luna while fighting here.”
As soon as Luna’s name came out of Seongsuho’s mouth, Louis’ head began to cool down like cold water pouring down.
But that was short-lived.
Sung Soo-ho’s uneasy expression made Louis’ head boil and a smile appeared on his lips.
“Kuhhh… But… You probably want to go out and ask for help right now.”
“It’s not like that. If you make a fuss here….”
“Shut up, coward!”
Lewis’s voice resonated through the building as if it were truly awakening the spirits in the graveyard.
“Ancestor? Riot? After all, they are dead and buried in the soil! And finish….”
Louis looked around slowly without lowering his guard toward Seongsuho.
“Wouldn’t the dead be bored since they’ve been quiet for a while?”
Louis, who spoke in a hum, blew mana into his hands and smiled like a hunter who cornered his prey.
“Let’s give them a fun show. Seong Soo-ho….”
