138. Now all we have to do is catch Jin.
The next day, the Duchy of Descartes.
France and Kazar gathered in the office to organize the information they had obtained.
“There are many secrets and parts I don’t understand about the Transcendent Wizard, but I have obtained the necessary information, so all that remains is to find Mr. Jin.”
Kazar’s magical curiosity soared from the transcendent wizard. But since Jin comes first now, I decided to postpone it until later.
“That old lady said. “All you have to do is find her and everything will be solved.”
France reflected on the words the transcendent wizard said and wrote them down on paper.
─────────────────
First – Jin’s illness is returning to normal, he is not dying.
Second – Jin, who destroyed the continent out of resentment, turned back time, but could not get what he wanted, so he used some kind of magic.
Third – He said he came from another world, so some kind of magic is assumed to be dimensional travel.
Fourth – The transcendent wizard has a special purpose for Jin. ‘Ladrien von Gracia’ also wants us to find Jean.
Fifth – Ladrien von Gracia, a transcendent wizard cannot be directly involved in this matter.
Sixth – Ladrien von Gracia and Jean Warenberg made such a big deal that they even took an oath to the goddess.
Seventh – Ladrien von Gracia is pretending to cooperate with her saint, but it is only for her own purposes.

“This is about it for now.”
France handed a document containing the organized information to Kazar.
“Read it and tell me if there is anything strange.”
“Yes, I understand,” Said Kazar and read the document.
“Hmm… ….”
Kazar taps his fingers on the table with his eyebrows narrowed. He lowered his head slowly.
“There is nothing strange. But shouldn’t we organize other things as well?”
France asked, “What if it’s something else?”
“You know there’s a story told by a transcendent wizard. We need to find out what purpose Jin had for turning back time and what kind of contract he signed. “That could be a big clue.”
She made an oath to the goddess, a contract so noble that if she broke it, she would be punished. There must be an answer that will connect everything.
“And there may be something important hidden in what that person said. “I said I was a witch cursed with knowledge, and the duke was a witch destined for absolute evil, right?”
It made sense, but…….
“That’s not important now. Let’s not lose sight of our purpose. “We are trying to find Jin and make him not die, not uncovering his secrets.”
France’s only goal is to be with Jin. They say that it is none of your business to know whatever secrets there are.
“But it could be that the Transcendent Wizard told a lie, right? “What if we find Mr. Jin and bring him back, but he just dies?”
It was a correct opinion. I had forgotten about the Transcendent Wizard because he cooperated so easily, but Ladrien von Gracia is a person full of doubts. Don’t let her doubts stop you.
“But that doesn’t mean we can find out anything. “The only parties involved in this matter are Jin and the Transcendent Wizard.”
The witch’s fate, the contents of the contract, the reason for coming from another dimension, etc.
There are a lot of problems to solve, but the situation is impossible to solve.
“… That’s right. “I was a bit short-thinking.”
“No. Because what you said made sense.”
Is it because I heard too much information at once? The more I think about it, the more my head hurts.
“I feel dizzy.”
France massaged her eyebrows and shook her head.
“Anyway, let’s do what we can for now. According to what the old lady said, we are doing well.”
Kazar nodded her head, “Yes, that’s right.”
“Shall we go straight to the Magic Tower? “There are still prisoners left on death row who can be tested on.”
“Yes, I guess so. “I’m looking for Jin diligently at Exceed.”
France and Kazar got up from their seats and headed to the magic tower. It’s not that far away and can be reached in 20 minutes by carriage.
When entering the magic tower, numerous wizards are busy carrying piles of documents.
“Lord of the Magic Tower, Lord of the Magic Tower! Hello!”
“Hello!”
“My name is Lacrier!”
“I am Pandre!”
I put on a bright smile along with a passionate greeting to somehow get a stamp on my face. No matter how good she looks, nothing will fall off.
“Okay, work hard.”
“Everyone is having a hard time.”
When Kazar and France greeted each other appropriately, everyone bowed in excitement.
“Thank you, I will do my best!”
“I’m Lacrie!”
“This is Pandre! I will do my best!”
After leaving behind the burdensome greetings, France and Kazar just waved their hands and boarded the elevator heading to the basement.
“Why are you doing that?”
Pure question. I asked because I really didn’t know.
“It’s probably because of the magic book. “All the magic books I have collected and created so far are stored in the upper floor.”
Just before the Magic Tower was completed, Kazar worked overnight to duplicate all the magic books. She was created using magic, so it wasn’t that difficult, but it took a lot of time.
‘When I think about it, this is also because of the person who lost.’
Not only did it make France cry, but it also hurt her deeply. She even put herself in work hell.
Of course, there were some things that were repaid and some things that were received unilaterally…….
‘If I see you again, I’m really going to kick you in the shins.’
This is separate. Even if that person breaks his shin three times, he has nothing to say.
Ding- The elevator came down to the basement.
“Let’s go.”
France and Kazar quietly walked through the basement of the Magic Tower. There were four prisoners tied together with black chains.
He was so frightened that even though his whole body was restrained, you could see him trembling, and even though his face was covered, you could probably tell his expression.
“Let’s start the experiment.”
“Yes.”
Kazar used telekinesis as he always did and placed two prisoners on the test table.
“Eup! “Ugh!”
“Wooow! Whoop!”
France frowned.
“It’s dirty. Stay still. “It’s spit-splattering.”
Kwaak. France’s chains tightened the grip on the prisoners.
“Oof! Whoop whoop!”
“uuup!”
He struggles hard, but his actions are meaningless. The chains of France, who reached the rank of Grand Wizard, are not easy to break even with the use of Aura.
“Let me begin.”
An ominous energy gathers at France’s fingertips. Jet-black magic seeps into the prisoner’s ears, as if pumped from a well called the abyss.
“An earnest song of eternity.”
Keying! The magic power fluctuates with a sharp sound. The prisoner rolled over his eyes and his body convulsed.
‘I must make it successful.’
Based on the information and inferences we have heard so far, the soul bonding experiment is now meaningless…….
If the Transcendent Wizard’s words were false and even Ka-Jar cannot find a way to cure Jin’s illness, the only answer is soul bonding.
France always prepares for the worst. Because she learned that from Jin.
“Duke, we are going to start properly now.”
“Yes, I know.”
His pitch-black magic, full of ominous energy, leaks out from the prisoner’s eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. It means that we are ready to sing an earnest song of eternity.
“I’ll go into control.”
Franze closed his eyes and focused all his attention on controlling his magic power.
Controlling the soul is work, but the process of reaching the soul is also work.
Everyone has an aura and magic power called life force, which must be accessed without harming it.
“Umm… ….”
Cold sweat broke out from France’s temples.
A firm strength felt through the senses. This prisoner’s nature is Auror.
“This is an Auror. “What about that one?”
“This is rare magical power.”
“Okay, let’s continue.”
Go past the aura flowing within the body and approach the soul, which is close to the essence of human beings. An unknown power that flickers like a faintly burning flame. It is a soul.
“… ….”
France was so focused that he felt dizzy. If this earnest song of eternity is engraved in that soul, preparations for solidarity are complete.
Originally, it was impossible to get this far, but through past experiments, we have been trained and have been able to come this far without any problems.
“That’s enough. It is said that magic has been engraved into the soul. “What about that one?”
“It was successful here too. Now all that remains is connection.”
The biggest problem, soul connection.
To succeed, you must weave souls engraved with earnest songs of eternity…….
Kazar and France are blocked here.
“Okay, let’s make it successful this time.”
“Yes.”
At the signal, the souls of two prisoners are extracted at the same time. Whoa! The magic at his fingertips pulled out the prisoner’s soul.
It is in human form, but it is as hazy as pure white smoke. Now, all you have to do is combine this with the soul that Kazar extracted.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Gulp. Kazar and France swallowed their saliva at the same time. This time, it felt better than before.
Kazar and France’s magical powers came into contact and their souls began to become intertwined. They are intertwined as if they are rotating in a spiral and ascending to heaven.
“Uh… ?”
“Wait a minute, it’s different than before?”
Even going around the spiral is the same as before. But this is my first time ascending to heaven like I am now. Until I got involved with it.
“Is it really a success?”
“Really?”
France and Kazar were dumbfounded. I just did the same thing as before and succeeded easily. Why? Those words filled his eyes.
“But wait. “I don’t know yet.”
“Okay. “You have to control your excitement.”
I quietly observed the souls of the prisoners. After waiting for a while, the soul that had been associated with the ascension returned to the prisoners. France hurriedly woke up one of the prisoners.
“Wake up!”
Wow! In my haste, I even scribbled my cheek.
“Eup, eup!”
Once I regained consciousness.
“Kazar! “Check that too!”
“Yes!”
From Noble mtl dot com
Kazar also scrawled the prisoner’s cheek like France. There’s no need to do that, but I just wanted to scribble it. He’s a prisoner who committed a heinous crime.
“Oof! Whoop!”
I came to my senses. Seeing that he was struggling, there was no problem with his consciousness.
“This is a success too!”
“Okay, let’s check it like this. “Kazar, please.”
“Yes!”
Ka-Zar wrapped his hands in magical energy and placed them on the tops of the two prisoners’ heads. If you just check the state of your soul like this…….
“Huh?”
The soul is intact without a single blemish. Ka-Zar closed his eyes and increased his magic sensitivity even more. If these two are connected, the quality itself will be the same.
“… ….”
The soul of the prisoner on the left is neat and beautiful blue. The soul of the prisoner on the right is a sharp and harsh blue. The attributes are different, but the quality itself is the same. This is… ….
“… “It’s a success.”
Soul bonding, earnest song of eternity was successful.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. Although the properties of the soul are different, the quality itself is the same. “They are clearly connected.”
“Finally… at las… !”
France sat down. Cold sweat runs down her bangs and drips to the floor.
“Finally… ….”
There is no problem finding Jin with this. It doesn’t matter if everything fails. If we die together, we will meet again.
“Jin… ….”
France was unable to hold back her tears as all the sadness she had been feeling came flooding back to her all at once.
I want to see Jin.
Greed to own Jin forever.
The desire to be with the person you love for the rest of your life.
I survived with just these three things.
And finally completed her first task.
“Now all that remains is to find Jin.”
Ka-Zar smiled and nodded his head.
“Yes. More verification is still needed, and the detailed reasons need to be further explored… “Now I give meaning to success.”
Ka-Jar also felt happy that he had succeeded in performing a spell that had failed so far.
But… ….
‘I’m sorry, Mr. Jin.’
I think soul bonding is inevitable.
