Chapter 181

The employees who gathered also learned the secret of the Duke’s territory that we had discovered.

At once, the castle turned upside down.

“If this is true……. I’ll have to try it soon like the young master said.”

The butler said so and summoned a few knights.

As the sun goes down in the northern part where a lot of ferocious wild animals roam, they can’t go out bare.

Maya said to the butler.

“I will go with you.”

“But, Young Master.”

The butler had a troubled expression.

But Maya was persevering.

“I want to watch it until the end. As heir here, this is the first time I’ve done anything useful to the Duke’s residence.”

“…… If so, I understand. Please e dressed warmly.”

The butler, who nodded with a look of helplessness, was about to turn around.

“Wait, Young Lord. I want to go with you too.”

I, too, wanted to watch until the end when the Duke’s territory’s troubles were resolved.

Then the other children rushed to say the same thing.

“Take me too.”

“Me too!”

Maya looked at us once, and he said to the butler.

“Let my friends go with me. Everyone had a hard time figuring this out.”

“…… Let’s do what the young master wants.”

The butler allowed it.

After a while, we left the mansion with the knights, the butler, and a few employees and headed for the vacant lot.

As night fell, the darkened vacant lot felt more desolate than usual.

They were delighted with the sudden news, but they seemed hesitant about what to do first.

I shouted quickly.

“First we have to find the stone!”

“Emir is right.”

Maya responded next to me.

Hearing our words, the party with torches headed towards the pile of stones.

It would be difficult if it suddenly collapsed, so the men worked hard to move the stones piled up on the outside one by one.

After a while, a slightly excited voice was heard.

“Here, I found it! It looks like the stone plate you mentioned!”

What he took out was a white, flat stone smeared with dust.

The magic circle was engraved on the back, like written on the parchment.

Now there was only one thing to do.

Finding the right location and burying the stone.

‘They said that the white stone should be in the middle of the other 4 stones.’

However, it was impossible to dig all the ground to find other stones, and there were no other signs, so it was impossible to know where the original was buried.

Perhaps the other people also noticed that fact, so we stared on the parchment, looking at each other and talking.

“What should we do? We have found the most important stone, the young master and your panions are here, so why not go back to the mansion and we’ll dig up the ground when the sun rises to find out the location of the rest of the stones?”

“Huh…….”

The hope that this terrible, cursed cold could be lifted if the stone was put back again was shimmering right in front of me.

Realistically, it would be right to work tomorrow after returning back, but it was not easy to stop the end right in front of you.

The sighs of several employees, including the butler, proved it.

It was then.

“…… If it is a stone with a magic circle on it, I think I might be able to figure out its location.”

Jake, who was standing next to me, muttered softly in a very quiet voice.

“Jake, is that true?”

“Yes.”

Jake nodded his head silently, even when I asked him in surprise.

Not only me but Maya who was standing next to me seemed to have listened to Jake.

Maya came over in a trembling voice and asked Jake.

“Then can you help me?”

“…… Umm.”

Jake seemed a little hesitant.

Maybe it’s because it’s a bit of difficult magic? if not…….

Then, suddenly, Jake glanced at me and asked.

“Mir, does Mir want me to use magic?”

“What?”

It was a sudden question.

I don’t know what he meant, but I answered honestly.

“Yes, probably. If this is resolved today, I think I will be very proud. But if you’re overdoing it, I hope you don’t use it.”

Hearing my words, Jake paused for a moment, then looked away and spoke.

“…… Mir If for you, I will use magic to help you.”

“Thank you very much, Young Duke Jake.”

After that, Maya immediately stepped forward and thanked Jake.

“You don’t have to thank me. It’s just what Mir wants, so I’m doing it.”

“…… !”

Hearing Jake’s answer in a calm voice, I widened my eyes.

Moments later, Jake closed his eyes and muttered a small mumble that sounded like a magic spell.

Then, suddenly, it seemed that a light was shining softly from somewhere.

Looking closely, I can see that there are exactly four places where light has risen on the surface of the earth.

“Where the light is, the other four stones are buried.”

After hearing Jake’s words, Maya gathered the people and talked.

And people brought two long ropes from somewhere and tied them diagonally to the several lights.

There was a spot where the ropes met.

That was the place where the stone was to be buried.
