Regressor, Possessor, Reincarnator

Episode 42

Arcandus looked at Allen with a madman’s gaze.

“Julius… kill?”

Similarly to him, he did not talk about possessiveness or regression.

We don’t trust each other yet, do we need to go into more detail? His purpose is to get revenge on Julius, and his own purpose is to bring him under his own.

The detailed story builds trust and it’s not too late to do it myself.

Allen nodded in agreement.

“Ha, I won, I thought I was crazy, but the truth was there was something else.”

“I heard that they are looking for their father’s whereabouts… .”

Allen’s tail twitched as if to listen.

“Did I?”

Arcanthus was laughing outwardly, but on the inside, he was quite complicated to discern what was the truth.

Inelia didn’t even say a word, but a look of confusion was evident.

‘Inelia should go back to the mansion and explain.’

I thought I’d call it sometime anyway.

“So, what are you going to do?”

“what.”

“What is it, isn’t it obvious?”

His face, which had been smirking at Allen’s question, changed to expressionless in an instant.

Inelia had a disgusted expression on her face as to whether she didn’t like such a heterogeneous change.

“Yes, yes. It’s a fun story. Is your brother trying to kill your brother?”

Arcandus did not completely believe Allen’s words.

Even if it’s true, he comes directly to recruit himself?

Arcanthus knew his worth well.

Can it be used as a hunting dog that bites off Julius’s powers only if he beats it well?

‘I think it would be more realistic to say that it was used as a tool for power struggle with Julius.’

Allen, feeling threatened by Julius’s recent appearance, gathers those who have a grudge against him to keep him in check.

This was a more plausible reason, he thought.

Rather than mentioning Julius’s death openly, though who might have heard it.

This was caused by the gap between Allen, who remembers the future, and him, who accurately recognizes his present value.

‘But, what’s the reason for making such a blatant bullshit?’

Any reason to talk about it directly? Do you think you will be deceived? Or are you really trying to kill me?

‘For whatever reason.’

‘If you want to use me, I’ll use you too.’

Even if this is a trap.

If it’s true that you’re trying to kill Julius.

If only I could get out of this beggar life and get proper support.

‘If I could know the whereabouts of my father who disappeared.’

whatever it is

So he sneered and answered lightly. Either way, the result is one of two things.

i die or

“Yeah, go downstairs.”

the guy dies

For him, he could risk his life as much as he had already fallen.

“It is a good choice. Arcanthus. We’ll talk about the details in El Round.”

“What is the deadline?”

“You can come into the city within this month. Can you do that?”

“of course. But maybe… .”

Arcandus hesitated with a face contemplating whether he could say this.

“Is there anything to be hesitant about coming here?”

“… There are others. They also have a grudge against Julius, so it won’t be a hindrance… .”

“Yeah, bring them all. Let me give you information about my father at that time.”

Allen replied casually, as if asking a question that was not poignant, but Arcandus felt a little different.

‘… I don’t think it will be thrown away after using it at least once.’

The fact that he cares about everyone else, not just himself, who can be used as a cause as a Fallen Nobility meant that he was looking at this for quite some time.

“… Thank you.”

“you’re welcome. Now that you are my servant, I have to take care of you.”

Is the business over now? oh

Allen suddenly remembered the story he had just told him and opened his mouth.

“You did it before. Compared to Julius, you’re not even a candle.”

Yes, Julius might look like that to him.

In his previous life, he inherited the title of Gaju after his father’s death, but now he has fallen into a situation where he doesn’t even have that.

So I could understand why he likened himself like that.

“The light doesn’t have to be too bright.”

got up

Sunlight shone through a crack in the dark interior door. The green eyes of Arcanthus, buried in the shadow that ate the room, shone.

“A light that is too bright is no different from darkness.”

“To light a dark room, a candle is enough. Anything more than that is just too much.”

Arcanthus looked at his back with a blank expression on his face.

“… dog noise.”

His answer came belatedly from behind.

Yes, it is.

“Well… , to think what is good.”

Allen replied with a smirk.

On this day, Allen was able to acquire talented people and the people they would build on them.

The road back to El Round was smooth.

Neither bandits nor monsters got in their way, and Allen returned to his home after a week.

The next day after that.

After finishing the morning practice and meditation that had become a habit, Allen headed to her personal study.

There are few places as quiet as the study room to have a secret conversation.

Allen finished replying to Rachel and Catherine’s letter arriving from the academy, and sent the letter to the academy.

“Catherine seems to be doing a pretty good job of what she was told… , Rachel has not changed.”

Allen recalled the letter filled with emotions, and looked at the magic formula that spread out in front of him.

“… Hmm. We need to develop more magic.”

In terms of his position, he was in the 5th rank.

Magical energy is produced endlessly from the heart that has been transformed into a dragon’s core. There was no shortage of magic. However, they lacked the magical knowledge to use that magic power.

The power of magic can be solved by increasing the amount of magic power. However… .

“It’s too inefficient.”

In order to interfere with the phenomenon and distort reality, the wizard accumulates and studies the knowledge of the magic system that he specializes in.

Based on that knowledge, the wizard uses magic.

The magic used in that way was efficient and had to be spotless.

In other words, the act of increasing the power of magic by adding magical power itself is an immature act as a wizard.

“… However, it is far from being able to find knowledge in the vicinity of the territory.”

I knew it better because it was Allen, who had been looking for magic-related books for 10 years in my previous life.

That he couldn’t find the knowledge to raise his level right now.

To further elevate the level… .

‘Academy.’

you have to go there

Allen finished thinking and closed his eyes.

When he took Linbel and Inelia from Hibel, something happened that inspired him.

‘There hasn’t been much progress since then… .’

Recalling the sensations of that time, the meditation was constantly repeated.

I didn’t think I would get results all at once.

How immersed in meditation have you been?

-smart

between the unconscious and the conscious. As I shook off the hazy, dreamlike sensations, I heard Enelia’s voice.

“… Confucius. May I come in?”

Is it time already?

Allen checked the clock hand passing through the afternoon time zone and immediately allowed to enter the room.

Enelia walked into the study with a somewhat nervous expression on her face.

‘Isn’t this the first time you’ve come here?’

What do you think you’re going to hear?

“Yeah, I have something to talk about… , sit down.”

Allen sat first on the sofa in the study, and then she carefully sat across from her.

“Confucius, why did you call me?”

glance-

She kept turning her eyes to the side without looking straight into Allen’s face.

Purple eyes mixed with tension and firm determination. A beautiful appearance mixed with fairy factors.

His black hair, which had been wet for a while, was moist, and a faint scent of lilac drifted through the tip of his nose as if he had even sprayed perfume.

Allen put on a serious expression.

As he opened his mouth, Enelia grabbed the hem of her robe as if it was coming.

‘Because nothing happened last time… ,’

It will be the same this time.

Because Confucius Allen she saw was a rational person. But, what if, if not?

‘Actually, until now, just to reassure you… .’

“… Thank you for following me without question.”

But, as she thought, Allen did nothing.

“Your expression is strange. Is there something you don’t like?”

“Oh, nothing!”

Allen, with a strange expression, held out to her a box engraved with an antique wavy pattern from his bosom.

‘This isn’t it… .’

She accepted his gift with a bewildered look.

“Go, thank you. Confucius… .”

As her expression changed strangely, Allen asked curiously.

“Don’t you like the gift?”

“Oh, no. It’s sudden… .”

“Didn’t you accept a lot of things that didn’t suit you with a maid, and work hard to assist me until now?”

or chasing after someone.

Or collect the elixir buried in the mountain behind.

Pick up one person and investigate.

There is a way to express curiosity, but Allen called her because he wanted to reward her for following her without saying a word.

‘With him, we will also talk about the Chimera Magician and Julius.’

“What is inside is the Jungryongok I got last time. Enelia, you are a fairy chimera… , so I thought that might be helpful.”

She doesn’t use spirits.

It is unknown whether it was a side effect of being a chimera or whether the contract was not signed yet, but it was clear that Jung Ryong-ok would help her in any direction.

“And since I haven’t been able to talk in detail because of work up to now, I wanted to take the time to talk.”

She let out a sigh filled with emotions and opened her mouth blankly.

“then… First, let’s talk about the Chimera Master.”

Allen opened his mouth, looking at her, who seemed moved by his actions.

“The stone sword I got from defeating the Chimera Magician last time… .”

She started talking about everything she knew.

Maybe the chimera magician went out to somewhere once a month, or maybe they brought the ingredients together.

Even on the day he went out, a gloomy energy wafted over the mountain range.

“Is that the one behind the Chimera Magician? I guessed… .”

As Allen fell into deep thought as if she had remembered something, Enelia opened her mouth cautiously.

“Allen, is this the end of the question?”

“Oh yeah.”

Allen nodded and answered her question as if he knew it.

“Are you curious about Julius? I should have told you in advance… , I’m sorry.”

“Yes Yes.”

That wasn’t her intention, but once she nodded her head.

“Yeah, Julius is currently in a state of being possessed by the ‘Devil’.”

I needed to tell Enelia.

Unlike Arcanthus, who has not yet built up trust, trust has been built up to a certain extent, and if you’re by his side, you’ll have no choice but to know something.

‘You’d be better off telling me, rather than leaving me to make weird guesses.’

If that was the case, there was a high probability that even if she gave a strange command, such as having Arcandus investigate later, she would take it on her own.

“Devil… Are you talking?”

“okay. Devil, you’ve been intoxicated by a very terrible demon.”

To a demon who doesn’t feel any guilt after taking someone’s body.

Unleash your senses

Information from within a few dozen meters was flooded into my brain.

‘No one is listening. But just in case.’

A transparent skein of thread surrounds the room, blocking them from the outside.

“As for him… .”

Enelia was nervous at Allen’s cautious attitude. It was because she could feel that it was not a light story by looking at his attitude.

Allen told the story in a way that she could understand.

That Julius had been taken over by the devil.

He said he wanted to save his brother by defeating the devil he was attacked by.

The reason Arcandus was recruited was also to create a force to fight against him.

“The orders I gave you were all part of the preparation for him. Do you understand now?”

She felt like everything made sense now.

“He acts like he’s serving the world, but he’s not, so be careful not to be deceived by outward appearances.”

Finally, when the request was finished, the story about Julius was finished.

“Any more questions? If not, let’s have dinner now .”

When Allen really looked like she would get up, she hesitated, then spoke quickly.

“Well then, is this the end? Let’s talk… , give me this thing… .”

“really… ?”

I don’t know why she asks so much, but when Allen nodded her head a little, she looked disappointed.

“What’s wrong?”

“Then let’s go to the restaurant. It’s time… .”

Just as Allen was about to get up, someone knocked on the door.

“Confucius, this is Linbel. may I come in?”

Allen put his half-lifted waist back in place and opened his mouth.

“Yeah, come in.”

She paused, looking at Inellia with Allen in the room.

“ah… ”

“Linbell? So what’s going on?”

Then he made eye contact with Allen and opened his mouth as if he had come to his senses.

“Ah, Confucius has a guest.”

“Guest?”

“Yes, a man named Karik Sangju is looking for Confucius… .”

Already, have you succeeded in making contact with the top?

Allen responded, feeling that things were going smoothly.

“See you right away.”

It is time to carry out the plan that was vaguely conceived right after returning.

Allen rushed out the door, thinking about what was to come. So he didn’t see it.
