Episode 145
“Yes, these are the clothes that the founder always wore during his adventures toward the truth. Now it’s your turn to wear it.”
“yes?”
As if he wouldn’t tolerate any objections, my father took the shining red robe off the hanger and draped it over both my shoulders.
“Now, give that little dragon to me for a while. “Put your arms into your sleeves.”
“No, wait a minute. father?”
“Hurry before I wake up. “Didn’t I say that I would start crying even if I was just a little bit away from you?”
Due to the sudden situation created by my father, I was pushed onto my back and put my arm into Ceresia’s sleeve.
Then, Ceresia, who was showing off her aristocratic beauty with a cold appearance, immediately changed the size of her clothes to fit my body.
Perhaps because it was made of magical power, the clothes were as light as a feather and cozy, and perhaps because they filtered out the moisture of a summer day, they felt pleasantly cool.
“Yes, it suits you very well. “Maybe it’s because he’s my son, but he looks stylish no matter what he wears.”
My father held both of my shoulders, glanced at my clothes, and smiled in satisfaction. That smile was too much for me.
“Father, I don’t think it will work. How could I get the Madose family’s heirloom…? … .”
“What’s wrong? All you have to do is come back and put it back here. “If you don’t come back anyway, the Ludwig family will fall.”
“yes?”
“Brim will cry and die, and I will die of loneliness while mourning my wife. Then Seri and Bran, who are not cared for, will also die… … .”
What on earth are you talking about? As he licked his lips as he returned Aki, his father smiled forlornly.
“It’s asking you to come back. “This is both a prayer for your safety and a spell that will force you to return.”
Then, out of nowhere, he hugged me tightly and patted my back.
“It’s okay if I lose Ceresia during the journey. All you have to do is come back. “That’s enough for me.”
The warmth was so warm… … That was probably the first time my vision became blurry because of my family.
“Please issue a silence order to the guards and servants about my coming here.”
“Okay… … Your school friends came to pay their condolences. The later index of the Eight Great Schools is five, up to Christa Warden. “And to those children?”
Are those guys offering condolences?
It was so amazing that it was so absurd.
At the same time, a nostalgic smile appeared. School life with those guys… … It was more fun than I thought.
“yes. “To no one.”
It’s already November, so are final exams in full swing by now? Or is it over?
Taking the test was a very enjoyable experience… … The memory of conquering the labyrinth with Logan quietly came to mind.
And Christa, who crushed my nose in every test saying she would flatten it… … .
– Then join us again in our city as we head south, Raine! Akido!
When we parted ways in the central part of the empire, Kasena said so, but she could not accompany him on this extremely dangerous journey. Now, it’s time to go our separate ways.
“Besides, don’t tell Aunt Serina Elin either. Grandpa, it’s okay, but… … “Those two people are so honest that even if they tried, they wouldn’t be able to hide it.”
“Seri and Elindo? “No matter what, we are family, so shouldn’t we know about your life and death?”
“I want to do that too, but… … “If you know my fate, you will think you know where I am, and that will put both of you in danger.”
There is no guarantee that there won’t be someone worse than Valencidis in the Black Church right now, who said he would take my family hostage to achieve the perfect victory.
Raida said that he would issue a silence order to the imperial troops who witnessed me. Rumors may spread because he is a talkative person, but they are just rumors.
Right now I just need it to be revealed that I’m alive.
“When I return from this journey and everything is settled, I will greet you in person.”
My father didn’t answer for a long time. Then the smile mixed with a sad sigh returned.
“okay… … “If Bran tells Seri that he saw you, can we just say that he dreamed it because he missed his brother?”
Not from my father, but from my mother.
My father and I looked towards the door of the secret room with surprised faces… … Her mother was standing there with a sad smile on her face.
He didn’t even come empty-handed, but brought a basket full of Mirngadia. When her mother coughed, her father rushed to help her.
“No, why did you come all the way here when you’re not comfortable?”
“I’m worried that Lane might forget this. She said it was very important… … .”
After handing the basket of dragon eggs to my father, my mother held my hand tightly.
Suddenly, memories from my childhood that I had not remembered or thought about until now came back to me. Until her small and delicate hands grew large, she felt the warmth of her mother who always gave her a warm embrace.
“I’m sorry mom. You must have had the hardest time, but she was so angry… … .”
“no. I was wrong. By the way, this time I will write letters often so that you have less to worry about. Of course, you will have to send it under an assumed name, pretending to be an acquaintance or a subject.”
When I entered school, I received the letter I hated so much, but this time I received it in person… … .
Brim was proud of his son’s growth and felt heartbroken at having to let him go again.
The boy scratched his head humbly for a moment, then went ahead and hugged his mother’s thin body.
“Mom, I will come back. “I hope you get well soon, and I hope you can be of good help to me when you come back.”
If there was one thing that remained a lifelong regret from my past life, it was not being able to say goodbye properly when leaving the school.
I should have said it properly, Dean, thank you so much so far… … Why did I think at that time that she would definitely come back?
I decided to make a promise this time that I couldn’t make then and wouldn’t have been able to achieve even if I had made it again. So that you don’t regret it again, so that you don’t shed tears again.
“Okay… … I will, my son… … Always dress warmly in cold places and avoid catching a cold. And sometimes I sleep at inns, and I get sick when I sleep outside… … .”
“The clothes are from Ceresia, so you don’t have to worry. I will leave with plenty of money. As you said, stop by the inn occasionally. … … “Mom, please eat well, rest well, and be healthy.”
My mother eventually burst into tears again after hearing what I said out of embarrassment.
Next was my father.
I already said hello to my mother before she came, but maybe, just maybe, like my previous life, this might be my last… … .
“father.”
As I approached, my father suddenly lifted the hem of Ceresia’s clothes and placed a basket of dragon eggs in its inner pocket.
Then what is this… … ?
Isn’t the shape of the basket reflected on the retina refracting here and there, and then disappearing as if being sucked into another dimension?
“How can this be… now?” … “What happened?”
As I blinked like I was lost, my father laughed quietly.

“It’s one of Ceresia’s hidden functions.”
“Hidden function?”
“You can use the sub-space embodied by the progenitor’s magic power. It’s not that big, it’s probably about the size of that basket. Fortunately, it fits perfectly.”
How does this function… … ?
Ryuken Ludwig’s era was the golden age of research on space-time transfer technology, which was called ‘the magic of the gods’, so it was not unreasonable.
However, as the light was strong, the shadows were also strong, and it was a time when magicians who fell into the abyss continued to appear, and ironically, the Imperial Office banned research.
How can a relic from a thousand years ago be in such perfect working order? … . What has been excavated is extremely rare, but most of it has been damaged or lost.
“It’s going to be a long trip to Antarctica, and I’m worried that my son’s shoulders will be bent if I keep carrying it.”
My father smiled bitterly, and as if to hide it, he hugged me tightly and patted my back.
As if he wanted to hold on to this moment just a little longer, the hand patting his back slowed and slowed and slowed again.
Now, it will be farewell again… … I had to bite my lip to kill as much emotion as possible.
“Father, I will come. Please live long and live long.”
As I left the mansion and climbed onto the course horse carefully selected by Guardian Knight Swan, Pipi, whose belly was full of corn, flew in and landed on my head.
“Don’t tell anyone. Even to the kids who are off duty today. Especially not to Aunt Serena or Elin. got it?”
“Yes, master. “I will make sure to stop you from joining.”
“Please take care of your parents and younger siblings.”
“Don’t worry, master.”
Our always trustworthy guardian… … He nodded and was about to turn his horse’s head, but Swan spoke in a voice with a hint of trembling.
“I’m really glad you came back alive, master. “Really.”
At that moment, I had to look back at Swan with startled eyes. As Swann grinned, the other guards saluted with excitement.
“We too will wait for the day you return!”
“Young master, fighting!”
“Master, please come back safely! He even said he would buy me a house! “I will believe it!”
Hi… … With a burst of laughter, she gave a thumbs up. With that, he kicked the courser’s side with all his might.
Rista said.
As I kept looking back at the magic tower that was getting further and further away over the horizon, I realized that I liked that magic tower and my classmates.
– Lynn, that’s what I like.
Now, I thought I left without any regrets, but if you had seen me keep looking back, you would have said the same thing.
Lin, you liked that mansion and the people there… … Called.
Then, unlike back then when I couldn’t be honest at all, I would have answered you like this.
That’s right… … Called.

The ceiling of the old corridor was depicted in a frighteningly explicit way, the world of creatures that had been swallowed up by the abyss in prehistoric times.
On the floor, which had been roughened by the ravages of time, profane letters and numbers spread out, creating geometric cracks, and at the center of them stood a man and a woman.
No, should I say one person… … The other one was asleep in the blue ice. For a whopping 300 years.
Tureina, the shrine maiden in the old hat who had been staring at the boy in the ice for a long time with her deep eyes, suddenly turned her head back.
I heard the darkness rustling in that direction, and then a man with a wry smile walked out.
“Hmm, it seems like it’s still not enough, right?”
“go away.”
“this! “Master Lee personally came to teach me some great information, but I feel sad.”
Tureina’s subordinates know him simply as ‘Number 7’… … The reality was different.
The amount of magic power is so frightening that it gives you goosebumps, as if thousands of snakes are coiling around your body and flicking their tongues… … .
Not only was he not Tureina’s subordinate, but receiving the number 7 was actually an insult to him. Even though I refused again and said that I didn’t need it, he just arbitrarily intervened and gave me my number without any hesitation.
“You are not my master.”
When he quietly approached me and struck the arm of the guy who reached out to hug my waist, the hand became engulfed in dark blue flames.
The flames of the abyss… … .
Anyone should have screamed at the pain of his flesh rotting and burning at the same time, but he still grinned even as his hands melted.
“Oh, Master, I feel so sad that I worked so hard to teach him magic, but now he just looks at that little boy with such single-minded determination.”
“I told you to f*ck off.”
“I heard you’re going to teach me how to keep that kid from moving on his bed when he wakes up.”
Number 7, who never interacted directly with other members, always changed not only his face but also his body.
He is not a master of counter-use or reverse engineering. You just change the body you control all the time. To be more precise, it should be said that he is a master of the art of possession.
His identity was Xernyx, the 6th Great Wizard who created an uproar in the world by becoming an Archmage at a young age about a thousand years ago and then disappearing. He could be said to be a great senior to the 11th Grand Wizard Rin.
That person is now one of the three pillars of the Black Church. He is also the person who taught Tureina magic and black magic.
“I’ll stop joking here and teach my cute student some good lessons today. “You need more dragon blood to wake that guy up, right?”
“I don’t need your teaching.”
“Heh, should I still say that after hearing it? The whelp’s guardian is coming to the southern part of the empire. You’ll be crossing the border of the Republic soon, right? Wouldn’t it be perfect to take the baby dragon away from him then? “It’s a true dragon.”
“Guardian of the young dragon… … ?”
I knew there was a huge uproar in Harvard and Trident Point.
Zernix must have made some mistake in the process and was reprimanded by the first pillar of the Black Church (I know this because he came and made a fuss without permission).
Are you saying that he was so powerful that he calmed down all those situations and made a contract with the dragon?
“Is your mouth watering? “With your skills, you can kill him without causing much damage to his body, so give his body to Master Lee as tuition.”
“Why don’t you use your great skills and do it yourself?”
“As you know, Master Lee is currently working in Antarctica. I thought he might be a descendant of my shitty teacher, so I used some magic. “I couldn’t win while possessed.”
Tureina was lost in thought for a moment, putting the stick in her mouth.
It’s the true dragon’s baby dragon… … .
If it were a true dragon in its adult state, I wouldn’t have even dared to think about hunting it, but if it was a corpse, it’s a different story. If I could use that infinite power, I would be able to awaken Master.
Tureina, who had finally finished assessing the situation, blew out the smoke he had inhaled deep into his lungs and raised his eyes provocatively.
“So who is he?”
