The Rebirth of the Hero’s Party’s Archmage Chapter 144

Chapter 144

Ludwig and his wife were frantically trying to preserve their reputation as nobles and heads of families.

Brim Ludwig ran all the way to the mansion, struggling to breathe, refusing even to be carried on his back with his skinny legs, and Caven followed behind, anxious that his wife might fall.

“I salute you, head of the family.”

“It is the grace of the gods, ma’am.”

The servants bowed their heads deeply and opened the doors blocking their path.

Since they did not change their muddy shoes (if Serena or Brann had done this, their tutor would have severely scolded them), the mud and flower seeds became tangled on the carpet they ran on.

And, and, and… … The moment they reached the small meeting room where the family eats, Brim stopped in his tracks in a daze.

“Hey, ha, write. Even if it’s because Aki only eats food from the street, what should you do if you, a guy who has learned all the table etiquette, eat with everything in your mouth?”

“Tongue, brother. “That one too.”

“Okay, okay. Look over here so I can wipe my mouth first. “Oh, it’s so dirty.”

It’s a natural voice… … The sounds of daily life that should naturally have been by their side… … However, the treasure that was unreasonably stolen… … .

It was so similar.

The voice of my son that I had fleetingly imagined in my dreams, and that I had barely dug into and recalled in my memories… … .

“Ma, Shi, SSer!”

“Okay, okay, Aki, how are the chefs at our mansion doing? “Compared to what I used to do?”

“Ah, ah-baat, more, more, more!”

“My cooking tastes better? Ha, guy… … “What’s wrong with flattering me?”

The boy who sat next to Bran Ludwig, with an unknown red-haired baby sitting on his lap, spoon-fed him food and glanced under his nose, had black hair.

Its eyes were red like its father, and its eyes were soft yet strong like its mother’s.

“Abu, abu, abu, abu.”

“Eat as much as you want. The corn, which was protested at every opportunity, was simply given in sacks. “If you can’t eat it all, go after it.”

“Search, search, search, search.”

An uncontrollable tremor swirled in Kavan’s heart. But reason suppressed the trembling.

This isn’t reality.

They said everyone was dead. It disappeared during the sunspot incident, so it was not even confirmed whether it was alive or dead… … Yes, confirmation of life or death… … .

“lane… … ?”

At that time, Brim Ludwig called out the name of his son, who had died half a year ago and had his name engraved on his tombstone, to whom no one could answer even if he called out to him.

“what?”

An impossible response came back. Lifting her head and looking this way, she smiled and raised her hand happily.

“It’s been a while, Mom. No, it seems like it’s been a really long time since I’ve seen my father. “Because you didn’t come during final exams or festivals.”

Kavan said I was busy with work without even realizing it, and I felt sorry… … He tried to say, but his throat was so tight that no voice came out.

son.

My proud son.

With the faint sound of breathing barely coming out, Kayvern, whose vision was blurry, barely managed to support his almost collapsed body by leaning on the wall.

“I heard from President Madelia that I am already dead? Lady Kasena is alive and well. She said it was a funeral, hmm, it was a bit sad. “It worked out well in the end.”

In response to his son’s natural question, Kavan barely opened his mouth, but soon stuttered.

“The funeral, I mean, uh, um, the kid… … ?”

“Oh dear? “She is definitely not my daughter, I was asked to—”

“—Ah-baat.”

“I can’t believe she’s not your daughter. She looks so much like you—”

“─Pa-Paat.”

“What is the difference? Everything from hair color to eye color is different─”

“─Takran, Takran, Takran.”

“Oh, just be quiet, you troublemakers! “Conversation can’t take place!”

“Tago-umunchi!”

“A bunch, a bunch, a bunch.”

For the first time in a long time, the banquet hall was filled with loud laughter, but Brim Ludwig could not hear anything.

He walked as if he were possessed by something, and smugly looked at the face of the boy who was mumbling something while closing his eyes and waving his fork.

I could recognize it right away through that touch and that warmth. It wasn’t any detecting magic or any detection magic. I just knew because she was the mother.

“Uh, mother?”

Because I even remember that cozy body temperature on the day the boy was born… … .

Without even feeling the heat of the tears flowing down her cheeks, she hugged the face of her son who had returned from the dead and began to cry.

Even Kayvern, who had walked shakily, wrapped his arms around his wife and son and cried silently, and Lane finally lowered his horrified eyes helplessly.

“I’m sorry for causing you worry.”

Faint tears filled my eyes. Although the reunion with her parents was also a joy, the main reason lay elsewhere.

If the.

It’s really a what-if story.

If Rin’s body had been able to wake up in the Lord Sogye Daeban 300 years ago, I feel like those idiots would have welcomed me like this.

– Lynn?

First, Rista, who stayed by my side until the day she died, would have welcomed me… … .

And while I was doing rehabilitation exercises while Rista was playfully making fun of my sloppy movements, other guys would get calls and come visit me one by one.

Keyes at the palace festival.

-Keys… … !

– … … !

– Oh, stop, stop! Don’t pet me!

Friede with Touraina and Fifi in .

– Lynn?

– Lean, lean, lean!

– Cheap!

Keyes would have been messing around with my hair, Fifi would have been pecking my cheek repeatedly, and Tureina would have been clinging to my legs and crying. Lista and Friede must have laughed while watching that.

In the end, everyone would have laughed like idiots and talked about how they ended the expedition, forgetting the hardships they had to overcome to get to this moment.

And the next day, we would talk about the future, not the past… … .

– I’ll first go back to the Magic Tower and say hello to the dean and my classmates.

– and?

– And… … We decided to go on a trip together.

If you were shy and turned your head slightly to answer, they would exchange surprised looks and then burst into laughter. Just like it has always been.

I wish I had done that.

It would be really nice if I could… … .

“cadet?”

“Wow?”

At that time, Aki and Bran, whose mouths were full of seasoning, spices, and meat, looked at each other and tilted their heads at the same time, not understanding the adults’ cries.

* * *

“Rain, you were the traitor who led the beastmen down Trident Point?”

My father’s eyes widened as I told him about the events leading up to crossing the wall, starting with Karenden’s help in going to Harbadonia.

It was my parents’ bedroom. After her bout of crying stopped, she had to come here because her mother didn’t even have the energy to sit down.

I placed my hand on the top of Aki’s head who was sitting on my lap.

“yes. And this is the alter ego of Alakish, the Watcher of Harbadonia.”

“cadet.”

“That’s amazing. Such a lovely child… … “It’s Jinryong’s alter ego.”

At that time, my mother, who was sitting against the headboard of the bed, got angry with a pale face.

“Why on earth did you choose to do such dangerous things? … ?”

“yes?”

“There is no problem when I am with Jinryong, but going to the Wall alone… … I took the lead when crossing Trident Point, but what if something happened to me? … !”

Then, when he coughed painfully and spit out blood, his father quickly wiped the blood away with a handkerchief and gave him a decoction prepared by a doctor.

“Your mother is doing this knowingly. That you had no choice but to do that. “I’m only doing this because I was worried too much.”

“My mother’s body… … Are you feeling very unwell?”

“I thought you were dead, so I stopped eating and drinking, so I just lacked nutrients. But don’t worry. Now that you’re back, things will get better in no time. “I had a strong body from the beginning.”

Now that I’m back… … .

It may have been painful for my parents, but now was the time to tell them the story that the water dragon Yericelica had told them at Trident Point.

When I finished the story, my mother shook her head as if she couldn’t understand the situation and didn’t want to do it.

“No, no, I don’t want to send you anywhere anymore…” … Who is hurting you here? Your father is the head of the Madose family, and Elector Saion will also protect us… … .”

“I have to go right at dawn today. “They said that if I stayed in one place, something like the sunspot incident would happen again.”

and… … I had to smile bitterly as I looked down at Aki, who was looking up at me and shaking his head.

“Like I said, if it weren’t for Alakish, I would have died. She promised to take Aki to Antarctica. May she grow in the arms of her people.”

“… … !”

“You don’t have to worry too much. I’ve become incredibly strong now. “We played against the Magic Castle 15 days ago and drew.”

In fact, I imposed a few restrictions on myself, so it was almost like I won, but here, let’s take advantage of the magic castle’s power.

My mother looked at me in confusion, buried her face in her hands, and fell down on the bed. There was an uncomfortable silence that made my throat burn.

It was my father who broke the silence with a sigh mixed with a smile, as if he couldn’t stop me. My father put his hand on my shoulder and motioned for me to follow him.

“Don’t worry too much about Brim. It’s probably because my head isn’t working well right now. Why wouldn’t that be the case? “More than anything, my beloved son has returned, but he is leaving again.”

“father… … .”

“Of course, I’m not at peace either.”

I tried to reply right away, but I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut due to the deep sorrow in my father’s voice.

Why was I such a fool?

When Jericelica asks you to choose, you don’t think at all about your family. Whether in my past life or now, I am still a fool.

“But I also know that you have to go. “But I’m too worried to send it away with my bare body.”

The place where my father led me, refusing even to be attended to by servants, was the head’s office.

The cool, humid night air of late summer comes in and out through the large arched windows on both east and west sides, and the starlight seeps into it.

Memories of my childhood coming to life in the starlight, my father smiling as he sat me on his lap.

– Lane, one day you will sit here. You don’t have to be a great wizard. He becomes a person who can be kind to everyone.

I almost made the same mistake as in my previous life, so I let out a sigh mixed with laughter. I almost realized its importance only after I lost it again.

It seemed so big in my past memories, but when I saw my father’s back getting smaller and smaller, my eyes became sore for no reason.

My father lightly pulled out a heavy bookshelf using telekinesis magic and placed his hand on the heavy iron door installed on the back wall.

“Father, what is this… … ?”

“I was planning to show it to you later when I hand over the position of head of the family to you. “That’s how all succession ceremonies take place.”

Then, a five-layer magic square stood up brilliantly on the surface and began to play a fascinating melody of light.

Five layers, five stars?

Who on earth creates a barrier like this?

The barrier recognized the blood of only those who were allowed to enter, that is, the legitimate heirs of the family, and the next moment, the iron door opened by itself.

“This room is where the relics of our progenitor, Ryuken Ludwig, are kept. “It’s also our heirloom.”

The founder of the Ludwig family, Ryuken Ludwig, was one of the fifth great wizards active in the 5th century. A keepsake of that great senior archmage?

When I followed my father into the secret room, I was silent for a moment. The sight of it absorbing the starlight deeply and then reflecting it as a single flash was so beautiful.

My father called it by its name, which only appears in books about the lives of great wizards of the past.

“Serecia (blood of the dawn). This is the robe that Ryuken Ludwig wore. “You can touch it.”

The fabric of the robe was deep and profound, as if blood had been woven into the shape of the clothes. Instead of having a hood, his collar stood high up to the level of his eyes, showing off his dignity.

In a daze, I reached for the robe and burst into laughter. Thump, pound, pound… … Because the magic power contained in the robe resonated with the magic power within his body and rippled.

My father, who was happily watching me smile and touch my robe, said.

“As you may have read in the book, each thread that makes up the fabric has independent magical power. In short, it can be said to be clothes of magical power.”

Of course I know it well. One of Ceresia’s characteristics was the mysterious power of protecting the wearer’s convenience by making the fabric thinner or thicker depending on the outside temperature and climate.

What is more widely known is the magic resistance ability, which is the power of the robe to block attacks against the wearer by deploying defensive magic with its own magic.

Additionally, it was said that even if the fabric were torn during an intense battle, the damaged parts would be repaired once the magic power of the robe was restored.

“This really existed. “I thought it was a legendary weapon that only appears in books.”

My father grinned.

“Yes, these are the clothes that the founder always wore during his adventures toward the truth. Now it’s your turn to wear it.”
