Crossed Secrets-2
People are gathering in front of the warrior’s mausoleum. The color of the magic formula became lighter, but the shape was certainly maintained.
“…Hmm… This is a magic often used by old vampires…”
“And… It also contains the necromancer’s spell. There is even brainwashing magic mixed in, enough to cause delirium…”
The wizards couldn’t help but look on their faces in amazement as they looked at the remaining spells. In terms of the technique alone, it wouldn’t be strange if all the corpses in the mausoleum woke up and turned into vampires.
“…But, Leonardo, you’re afflicted with mental-type magic… It’s surprising. Did you have any physical condition?”
Eileen, who had a very bad complexion, continued to ask her questions to forget her previous humiliation.
Ain’s stone fastball unconsciously was enough to shake her spirit.
“…Condition… Hunting… You mean.”
Eileen’s question was probably not malicious.
Even though she actually felt the pain of having her limbs torn apart, she wasn’t affected by mental magic.
It would be hard to believe for Eileen and for Leo’s superior, who was her magic executioner, that such Leonardo would run amok and attack her colleagues.
‘…Mom…’
The reason was clear. With her own hands… She had decapitated Ren, and her mind was disturbed.
[…You didn’t kill your parents. Make sure you do that.]
＜…But I’m pretty sure he’s lost his mind.＞
I should have been cool even if I killed him.
Just like she always did.
She had to coolly judge and take the most efficient action.
If you can’t…
[Indulging in sentimentality, I would have beaten your teacher if you were the one who killed the one who looked just like your parents and fought intact.]
＜…That’s too much.＞
I was able to focus on the situation again thanks to that old man who didn’t even give me a chance to fall in love.
“…In common sense, if you are in good shape in that situation, that’s a problem.”
“…That’s right. If you think about it common sense, it’s strange to keep your sober even if you have divinity.”
It seemed that the two Heretic Questioners were trembling at those words, but fortunately, no one cared much about them.
“…There doesn’t seem to be any additional vampires anyway. Judging from the tracking image, it doesn’t seem like they escaped by means of teleportation or fog.”
Sharlian used divinity to detect the surroundings and looked for the remnants of vampires. Starting from Blink, long-distance teleportation magic, and other methods such as fog, invisibility, and liquid, there was no trace of escape.
The vampires who came here were all slaughtered, led by Mary Lamia.
“…Then now…”
“No. There are still things left unexplained.”
Galaweed opened his mouth looking at the marks left on the mausoleum.
“Where is the ‘That being’ That attacked you?”
Everyone froze at that one word. In a way, he may have unintentionally touched the most complex and difficult issue in the current situation.
“I heard that the body of that being remains. If it is kept, wouldn’t it be better to show it?”
“…I’m sorry… That’s…”
The Reinhardt family and Lumine looked at Leonardo’s expression. How would a child feel when he sees a being with the same face as his mother being dissected like a monster?
Is it the right thing to allow this?
“Before that, I have something to tell you.”
Leonardo opened his mouth calmly with an expressionless face. It would not be a coincidence that Ain’s face is instantly reminiscent.
“They match my biological mother in appearance.”
“…What…?”
Leonardo didn’t know where to begin. The secrets were so intertwined that even the regressor did not know.
***
Two corpses without mana were kept at the insistence of Lumine and Rios.
It was not just for the purpose of research or investigation.
[Leonardo’s opinion should be centrally determined.]
From the point of view that it is the same as Ren, Leonardo’s parents, it was a matter that they could not decide on their own line, and they should not have decided on their own.
“…Can I talk to you?”
Ariaspil whispered in Leonardo’s ear. It was a question that came out of the question that it would be better to hide it in this situation.
Not just for the sake of advantage, but also for Leo’s feelings.
“…It’s okay.”
Leonardo answered that. Like I’ve come too far to care about that.
[At this time, collective intelligence is good.]
There is still a lot of information about Ren that is still lacking. Even if we synthesize the information before the regression as well as now, the information related to this is too lacking.
Rather, it’s all the more because I’ve spent such wasted time for 70 years.
‘…I need to get at least one more clue.’
About her mother, and about herself.
“…A being without mana…”
“Theoretically, it cannot exist.”
As a famous wizard, Eileen was the first to nail the conversation.
“It may be an object without mana, but it is an impossible area for a creature.”
“But it exists. You should have seen it before.”
The Heretic Questioners looked at those magicians and spoke warmly. In fact, it was as if they had a cause to be proud of.
It was only that the justification came into being, which made it more complicated.
“…First of all, Leo was an orphan…”
I sensed that Charlian’s lifespan was being shortened by the instant glances and that one word.
“…No, I know that Leonardo-sama had no relatives, but can you explain what being a mother means?”
Gallo Weed thought that she had managed her daughter’s mistake in her own way.
“There was, but I went missing when I was about 10 years old while living as a mercenary.”
“…Uh…”
And 10 seconds later, they felt that Arya’s eyes were kicking at them with murderous intent. The slitting her neck now with her hand gesture seemed to indicate their future as a hand signal.
“…Then it was made by airlifting Ren’s corpse…?”
Pysis asked in a rare melancholic and confused voice. When he was learning spiritism under Anus, he had seen Ren a few times.
Her easy-going and bigoted personality seemed to tell how she got into her mercenary business.
“…Or, it could be a ploy to shake your mind. Personal information is also available in the mercenary guild.”
That thought was rather positive. However, I could say that it was an optimistic idea enough to call it an idea that was just ignoring reality.
“…But since there is no mana, tracking until now is impossible.”
Eileen let out a sigh as she said that. It was because she had a series of problems that were completely different from what she expected. What she had just seen in the morgue was an unprecedented creature.
For some reason, the subject of the external appearance was Leo’s mother, Ren.
“…Is it completely impossible?”
Guardian Gladio said while looking at Ren’s face from earlier and Leo’s face right here.
I made the decision myself up to this point, but isn’t it too cruel to be foolish?
“I’m sorry, but the head of the house. Not having mana means that the basic premise of being a creature is different.”
Eileen didn’t want to say that either. However, this was a problem that she had to start with as her scholar before becoming a wizard.
A creature must have mana by default. Because mana is energy, living things can survive.
The fact that he fainted due to exhaustion of mana, much less died from lack of mana, existed for that reason.
“As an analogy… Blood… No, it’s like water. All living things have water, and without it, they die.”
“…But that thing… Then the possibility of being undead…”
Then Gallowed shook his head. Because there was no chance of that happening.
“If you are an undead, it is normal to feel demonic energy. But on that corpse… I couldn’t feel anything at all.”
Even a corpse has a handful of mana left. Especially if it was a corpse that was processed into undead.
But that corpse is different. It feels like nothing, like a transparent yet empty shell.
“…Then how to track…”
“There is virtually no magic at all.”
“…Unfortunately, the same goes for divinity.”
It was an unavoidable problem. All search or tracking methods are investigated starting with ‘there is mana’.
It was a very natural phenomenon for objects to have mana, just as living things have protein.
There was no magic or sacred art to exclude and detect it.
There was only a search for the remaining physical evidence or interrogation.
“…Then go now and dissect it…”
At that moment, Aileen looked at Leo and shut her mouth.
Even if they tried to kill her by piercing her belly, she was a being that looked just like her own mother.
Is it ethically correct to say that such a being can be easily dissected?
That question crossed Eileen’s head.
“Dissection is the opposite.”
It was the Heretic Questioner who opposed it unexpectedly. Gallowed sighed and offered his opinion on the corpse.
“If you dissect the corpse now, there is a lot of room for abuse. It is not to be dissected from a wizard, but to be cremated in a temple…”
“I think it would be better to dissect it.”
Gazes gather.
It wasn’t Eileen who insisted on dissection again, much less Physsis who came with her.
That said, the Reinhard family didn’t come up with such a difficult proposal either.
“…Leonardo…Really…”
It was Leonardo. Leonardo explained the seriousness of the situation with cold eyes.
“This won’t be the end. This is just the beginning.”

Making the same two machines meant that they were close to mass production.
That meant there was a ‘material’ that became the base.
“…It wouldn’t be strange if the mage tower was attacked or the temple was attacked. Even more so at the imperial palace.”
The meaning of having no mana also meant that it was the most perfect existence for ambush.
It wasn’t just that there was no mana at the civilian level. No assassin could compare to him if he had no mana while possessing greater strength, athleticism, and skill than a vampire.
“If we don’t come up with a solution even for a day, we will be in big trouble.”
“…”
That was not wrong. Rather, it was a cold-hearted judgment, so not everyone objected.
But could he be so calm about his parents, who may have gone missing years ago?
There was such a question in their heads.
But for the past 70 years, such things have been normal for Leo.
It was a natural enough time that the same senses as machines were applied to living things.
“I will go to the Mage Tower and check the things I’m concerned about. The process of dissection is examined one by one.”
“…Wait a minute. With what qualifications do you watch…”
Leonardo glared at Charlian.
I wonder if that b*tch still hasn’t come to her senses after being beaten like that?
But Leonardo sighed and prepared evidence to support it. Giving a reasonable reason was safe externally as well.
“…Excuse me, Inquisitor Charlian, but do you know how many demons and warlocks Inquisitor Gallowed has captured over the past 10 years?”
“…I can’t count them all, but I’m sure there are at least 100 of them. Is that a problem?”
Charlian was full of pride. Same with Gallowed. Even with such a break, the fact that he had endured for 10 years in the industry was such that even his fellow paladins were amazed.
“I see.”
Leonardo took out the black mask and the executioner’s nameplate from within the hem of his robe. People who watched the video before his return couldn’t help but blink their eyes in amazement. From their point of view, they will not immediately understand why that object exists now.
“I am Eorduksini, who has been working as a special magic executioner. Have you ever heard of it?”
“…Not to say…Not even…”
“I guarantee that. It has already been documented. I just want you to keep it a secret.”
Eileen let out a blank laugh, noticing that she had been collecting her for this purpose. It was a moment where I really wondered what psychopath in the world could turn the tide of trust like this.
“I’ve been active for 4 years, even if I catch a few, and I’ve caught over 100 demons and warlocks. You know best what that means.”
“……!”
They were dumb because they drank honey.
That’s right, they were actually watching the Black Magic Executioner That they thought was an ‘urban legend’,
They slandered him for being an insufferable human being and an intriguer. Even if they went beyond the subject, they didn’t even raise their heads for a long time.
“…Uh…How…”
“Then I will assume that your identity is guaranteed.”
That’s what Oduksini, the codename, said.
“Are you planning to go to the Magic Tower right away? If so, leave it…”
“Before that.”
Leonardo said in a cold, subdued voice.
“…I have a place to go.”
Leo rarely lowered his eyes.
Then, Physsis, the elementalist, came up with an idea. What is Leo trying to do?
“…You… Can’t…”
“…It’s quicker to ask directly.”
He only had at least two people who knew more about Ren than he did.
‘…Grandmother… Older brother…’
Anus and Dean were the only two people who knew more about Ren than he did.
