Chapter 72.3. The First Year at the Academy – A Pledge (3)

"Did I interrupt you?"

"Hmm – yeah, fine. It's not something they are allowed to hear. You and Lily seemed to be getting along well."

"We didn't talk to each other until just now. You know, the dean was very proud of her. I was curious about her. That's why I was curious."

"She's a good girl, isn't she?"

"Yes."

Smiling, Elfimir nodded.

Her figure looked somewhat lonely.

If her grandmother had not disappeared, the present would not be now.

Through Lily, he may have seen a future that could never have been.

I helped Elfimia to a seat and offered her a cup of tea.

After taking a sip, she began.

"First of all, I have to tell you. I got to meet your grandmother."

"I see. Where was she?"

"In an invisible mansion, or should I say ‘Trephas Masnito,' the hidden house of the ghosts. At the back of the first floor at ......."

At the end of the collapse – no, he was buried there.

"You're sure it's him?"

"Yes, he was dressed just as his grandfather had described in his diary. Plus, he was wearing the ring from his coat of arms."Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

"Hey, what do you think happened?"

"You know."

In the end, if Lislia accepted her disappearance so easily, we should have elicited more information from her. Then it would have been clear what had happened forty-six years ago and who was involved.

A light metallic clink drew my attention to Elphimia, who was clutching an old necklace.

"I heard my grandmother was physically weak. In my grandfather's diary, he wrote that she could work as an adventurer because of a certain magical tool. He said that it assists the life activity itself."

"That necklace, huh?"

"You understand, don't you?"

I nodded silently.

It was just a necklace.

One of the materials used to revive the dead is a magic stone of the Holy attribute.

A magical tool that assists life activities, such a thing must be of the Holy attribute.

I think Lislia was sick before she died. Probably a genetic disease. No matter how good Esard is, she cannot be cured if he does not understand genes. No, even if he understands it, he can't. Gene therapy and ordinary therapy are two completely different things.

Esard probably needed the necklace in a double sense.

If he could prolong her life with magical tools, that would be good enough, and if not, he would use it as a material. It is not surprising that an alchemist of Esard's caliber would know how to substitute magical tools for materials.

Was Serteres lured out?

Only to have her carry the grimoire.

There was only one person who could do that.

The same species that lives in the foreign body of humans.

Even if only half, the connection is strong.
