079. Zangshi (2)

And the influence extended to the Duke of Cletin as well. The king’s order came at a critical time when Count Friel, who was already very excited, could now join the Duke of Goldin and crush him in one fell swoop if he waited a little longer.

“Now that you know who used the forbidden magic, remove the investigation team assigned to each noble. It would be unbecoming of a good king to create anxiety in the people with inaccurate information. Instead of wasting your energy on useless things, you should focus on finding the witch as soon as possible.”

It was clear that this young and pitiful king had been swayed by the advice of the Duke of Goldin. Cletin bowed his head, swallowing his regret.

“I will…… follow your orders.”

Cletin left the palace without being able to straighten his furrowed eyebrows. Count Friel was cornered anyway. He had no choice but to get him to turn himself in and find out what the Duke of Goldin was accused of.

‘Things have become difficult, but we have to do it.’

It is unlikely, but there is no way to catch Goldeng without that method. Now that we know that he has crossed the ‘line’ for the kingdom, it has become a relationship that cannot coexist. If we go into full-scale war after the current incident is concluded at the Friel Line, countless bloods will flow in the kingdom.

The opportunity is now.

A black shadow moves secretly.

Right behind him, he moved from one pillar to the other, but the patrolmen walking down the hallway didn’t notice. The shadow slowly seeped into one room.

“Big.”

A groan of frustration escaped him. As he entered, he felt a vicious hand pressing against his neck. The eyes visible beyond the helmet were unfocused and covered in darkness. The target’s voice was heard from behind him.

“Kill him, we know who sent him anyway.”

-Thud!

As he absentmindedly pulled his hand away, the opponent’s neck broke as easily as a toy. The assassin in all black fell down the wall. It was a meaningless end for a top-class assassin.

The knight was seen standing tall in front of the doorway again, having carelessly left his body behind. Despite being indoors, the knight was fully armed with black armor, and his huge build, with the tip of his helmet seemingly reaching the ceiling, seemed to be over 2 meters tall.

Count Friel gritted his teeth, not caring about the corpse in his office, its vertebrae poking out and spitting out blood.

“Golden……, is this how you come out……?”

Friel’s bloodshot eyes were filled with venom.

The next night, a man came to the villa of Cletin where Rachel was staying. He was wearing a colorless habit and when he came face to face with Rachel, he slowly removed his deeply drawn hood.

‘Bedin… … .’

Rachel showed no action or reaction. Bedin, her brother who died eight years ago.

8 years ago… … .

-bang!

The middle-aged man with dizzy eyes and dark green long hair tied neatly behind his back, who was slamming his large fist on the desk, was none other than Leond de Leotedir, the greatest wizard in the Kingdom of Berion. He shouted once more at Friel, who was smiling wickedly in front of him.

“Stop! Don’t insult my son any more! If you keep saying those weird things, even you won’t get away with it!”

“Hmm…….”

Even in front of Leond, who was more angry than he had ever seen before, Friel’s expression and gestures were extremely relaxed. Instead of answering Leond’s words, he suddenly looked at the maid who was trembling beside him.

“Hmm… Nirka? That’s a pretty name.”

“Oh, oh? Thank you…….”

-Wow!

Nirka’s eyes were wide open, not knowing what was going on. Her gaze slowly lowered. Before she knew it, she saw her own feet. As she tried to understand what was going on, the world turned black.

“What are you doing?”

Leond shouted as he looked at the headless head of the maid, whose blood was spurting all around the office. He could tell that she was quite angry, as a thick mist rose from her hands. Friel held out both hands, palms showing, in a gesture to calm her down, and then gestured to the two strangely dressed men who had come behind her.

Then the men carefully wrapped the maid’s torso and head in the black cloth they had prepared and then retreated.

“Calm down and listen to me, brother. It is because you don’t believe me that I have to resort to such drastic measures. Next time I come, I will come back with this maid, alive and well, of course.”

Leonde, whose face was red, was on the verge of losing his senses. Even though she was a lowly maid, she cared for everyone in her mansion.

But shamefully, what held him back was his selfish desire to believe that he could actually save her, even though it was hard to believe.

And if he could save his son, too… … .

“You… get out now! And don’t come to me again!”

“Hmm… I’ll see you then.”

Friel slowly left the office with the unidentified men.

And exactly a week later, Nirka appeared before my eyes again, alive.

“Meet the Duke.”

“W-what is this… Friel! What on earth did you do?”

Leon was shocked. Face, name, even warmth, nothing else can deceive, but names can. If they are undead, they should be called zombies or ghouls, not names. They can’t even speak.

She has been working in his house for over 5 years, so I know her face. Her behavior seems a little colder, but I didn’t have time to pay attention to that. Friel opened her mouth to Leond, who was in shock.

“Are you willing to listen to my story now?”

At that moment, his words mercilessly dug into Leond’s heart like a devil’s temptation.

“Let me hear that story.”

It is clearly against nature for the dead to come back to life. As a mana user, he knows better than anyone how wrong that is. However, the grief of losing his son has made his reason very selfish.

‘Just once… … just my son.’

Friel said that he was in danger and that he needed to take precautions, so he handed over a contract. It was the contract for the transfer of Leotedir’s estate. Even after the transfer, all profits from the estate, except for the minimum operating funds, would be given to Leond, so there didn’t seem to be any major problems.

And he gave enough time for his son Bedin to live, so that after three months, Duke Leond could do as he pleased. He could either take the land back or leave it as it was. It was a contract that if Duke Leond died, all of the land would be transferred to his daughter Rachel.

Although there were many flaws in the contract, since it involved the resurrection of his son and it might not be possible if the corpse decomposed, the wise Duke Leond signed the contract without realizing the trap in it.

Leon went straight into the cave led by Friel with his son Bedin’s body. He went there with his elite force, the Knights of Jeron, to personally observe the experiment.

A deep cave, a place called the dungeon of some mad wizard, a place that Leond also knows well.

‘Is there a space here for such experiments?’

Leon looked around with suspicion.

At that moment, Friel chanted something against the wall, and one side of the wall moved away with a ‘groan’ sound. It was a secret space that he didn’t know about at the time. Leond followed him in with heightened vigilance.

Inside, there was a huge cavity that was so large that it was hard to understand how they had created such a space. Just like the Colosseum, there were steps of stones in a circle, and in the center of it was a rock big enough for about five people to lie down.

The men in black robes who had been waiting there carefully laid Bedin’s body on the rock, following Friel’s instructions. Leond’s heart ached again when he saw the tightly stitched marks on the severed parts.

At that moment, pitch-black darkness came rushing in. Even though I was using a light, it was consumed by the darkness and only gave off the minimum brightness. At the same time, I felt as if the surroundings were turning into a vacuum. My ears were stuffy and all I could hear was a thin, constant sound like tinnitus.

The gaze turned, drawn by an unknown energy. Something that had become one with the darkness slowly emerged from the darkness. It appeared as if it was walking away, but it was more appropriate to say that it emerged from the darkness. A woman, a woman more suitable for a girl than a woman, appeared.

A woman as smooth as a snake, pale as if she were not of this world, and beautiful as a goddess. Her hair was so perfectly black that you couldn’t tell what was hair and what was darkness, and it swayed endlessly even when there was no wind.

The black, sticky substance that had been covering her entire body gradually flowed down to the floor and disappeared without a trace. Soon, her body, completely naked, was revealed. Her perfect body, which made it impossible to make any judgments, and her flawless, pure white skin looked as pure and shining as the colostrum of a mother sheep.

Everyone stared at her, dumbfounded. She walked slowly, as if taking a stroll, and placed one of her sleek legs on the altar. The sound of gulping could be heard here and there.

Soon after, she climbed onto the body of her son Bedin. At that moment, one might have the absurd thought that she envied him even though he was dead.

Slowly, bending down, drawing the most beautiful curve in the world, she kissed Bedin’s body. Deeply, for a long time. And… … Bedin’s body squirmed.

“Huh!”

Leon swallowed the air. The woman stopped kissing him, straightened up again, and looked at him. Her eyes were as pure as a newborn baby meeting the world for the first time. Then, as she stood up, Leon worried that he had made a big mistake at such a crucial time and that she had quit.

But she simply stepped down from the altar and walked back to where she had come from. One of the robed men threw a cloak covered with black feathers over her. No one did anything until she completely disappeared into the darkness.

And at the same time, my ears, which had been stuffy, were cleared. My sense of reality returned. Just a moment ago, it felt like I was watching someone else’s dream.

“Uh, uh…….”

It was at that moment that Leon was about to shout at her to catch her as she seemed to have left without doing anything.

“Ugh, kyaak!”
