74 – Hometown (3
I entered the village entrance.
Unsurprisingly, the village was not very clean.
I had to clean up all the corpses last time, but there’s nothing I can do about the half-destroyed building.
‘You can’t do it the same way.’
Thinking like that, I continued walking.
After a while, we finally arrived home.
“Huh?”
Lisa is shocked when she sees my house.
Soon, she looked at her house and she had a puzzled expression on her face.
“Kael, the house is fine.”
“Yes.”
Actually, I didn’t pay much attention to it at first.
I wondered if the reason the house was fine was because there was no one there.
But, now that I think about it, it makes no sense.
All the houses around us have been destroyed, so how can this house be the only one left intact?
When I think about it now, there is nothing that feels as uncomfortable as this.
“I’m sorry to the others, but before we go to the grave, let’s look for some traces here.”
“Okay. OK.”
With those words, we quietly rummaged around the house.
Not long after that.
“Uh, there’s nothing?”
“······.”
Contrary to expectations, there was no trace of anything.
I spread my magic everywhere, just in case.
But, just like before, I didn’t feel anything in particular.
‘Is it really not there?’
Saying that is no different from saying that a monster from another world told a lie.
However, at that time, his face did not look like he was lying.
Not only that, but the demons seen in the Holy Alliance are also the same.
‘So then it’s not here but somewhere else?’
First of all, I don’t know exactly what it is, but I have to stay here until night.
I opened my mouth, taking a shallow breath.
“Let’s pack up our luggage first. “I have to stay until night.”
“Huh, huh? Are you really going to sleep here overnight?”
“Okay. “But why?”
“Well, they say there’s a ghost.”
At her words, I looked at her with her salty, cold eyes.
Then, Lisa screams as if she is embarrassed.
“Oh, no! “It’s natural to be afraid of ghosts!”
“Live, live, live. I didn’t know you could be afraid of ghosts at that age.”
“Well, what’s wrong! Even if it was someone else, you would have been scared?!”
“Whoa. Okay. Okay. Let’s start by packing up our luggage. “I have to go to the grave before it gets dark.”
“Ah. Yes!”
With those words, we quickly packed up our bags.
After we finished packing up our bags, we headed straight to the tomb.
“Ha. Ha.”
As we climb the mountain, Lisa behind us lets out a heavy breath.
I looked at her intently.
“Why do you look at me like that?”
“Hmm. “I’m thinking about whether to train you separately, Lisa.”
“Huh? Why?”
“If you suffer this much, you could die right away, right?”
Even though this mountain doesn’t have a separate path, I didn’t expect it to be this difficult.
If a monster from another world appears like this, it will be no wonder if you die at any time.
“Uh, Kael, shouldn’t you just protect me?”
“What are you going to do when I’m not around?”
“Hmm.”
She closed her mouth as if she had nothing to say.
I looked at her like that and spoke in her voice full of confidence.
“Anyway, when I go back, I’ll have to at least train my physical strength.”
“Ah.”
The next moment, her face suddenly darkens.
I went up without paying attention to her reaction.
Then after a while.
“You have arrived.”
We have finally arrived at the top of the mountain.
Lisa’s eyes widen as she looks at the numerous graves at the summit.
A landscape made up of flowers.
There, numerous tombstones are visible.
Lisa, seeing that, asks a question.
“So, how did you move the body? “It can’t be just one or two people, right?”
“There was no body. Most of them were eaten by monsters or there were no traces at all. Instead.”
“Instead?”
“The traces of magical power in the village were moved separately to the grave.”
“Uh, are you okay with that?”
Usually, human bones are buried in cemeteries.
However, there was a separate method to attain Buddhahood in a book I had in my old home.
That is none other than burying the dead person’s magical power in the graveyard.
In fact, magical power represents a person’s power.
In a way, it can be seen as being almost close to the origin.
From Noble mtl dot com
It is said that if you bury it in a cemetery, you will become a Buddha.
‘Well, now that I think about it, it might just be a superstition.’
In the end, it is an undeniable fact that no matter what form it takes, it is a matter of mourning the dead.
When I explained it like that, Lisa responded with interest.
“This is my first time hearing it. Looking at it again, I felt like I had never heard of all the books in your house before. “It’s the same with magic.”
“Hmm.”
For a short time, she stayed in the imperial palace.
She probably read quite a few books when she was young.
‘After all, what the monster from this world said wasn’t a lie.’
Perhaps this Buddhahood also has something to do with people from another world.
Thinking like that, I took out numerous flowers from my subspace pocket.
At the same time.
-Wow.
All the flowers were pulled up using telekinesis.
Soon, it was placed in front of the cemetery.
“”······.””
So we closed our eyes and meditated for a moment.
Then after a while.
“Then let’s go.”
“Okay. OK.”
After finishing our meditation, we came down from the mountain again.
It didn’t take long to come down from the mountain.
Well, in the case of mountains, isn’t the level of difficulty different between climbing up and coming down?
‘The slope is not that high.’
Because of that, it wasn’t that difficult.
When we arrived home, Lisa let out a deep breath.
“I feel somewhat complicated.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. It’s my first time here. “I heard that the village was destroyed while I was away, but seeing it in person makes me feel uncomfortable.”
“Hmm. Please rest a little in your room. “I will cook dinner.”
“Thank you.”
Perhaps it is true that she is having a hard time? She enters the room with an indescribable expression on her face.
Well, I felt the same way when I first saw it, so I understand to some extent.
I quietly took out the ingredients from the kitchen.
Wyvern meat, corn, sugar, etc.
After taking out the various necessary ingredients, I quickly started cooking.
– Grumbling.
I put a lot of powder made from alchemy into a bowl.
Just add it and it’s at least a medium-fine soup powder.
The highest quality ingredients, wyvern meat and other ingredients were soaked there.
Then after a while.
“Are you cooking?”
Liza appeared with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Judging by the reaction, it seems that the smell is quite good.
“Tell me if you’re hungry. “I would have done it.”
“That’s it. “It’s not that I’m so inconsiderate that I do things to people who are having a hard time.”
“Okay… But what are the ingredients? “It looks very luxurious, doesn’t it?”
When I explained the ingredients, her eyes opened wide.
“You put those expensive things in it?!”
“Yes.”
“How much do you spend on one soup?!”
She slapped my back with her palm as if asking me if I was crazy! Slap! Hit me.
Then, Lisa rolled up the sleeves of her dress and spoke.
“What a waste of money to cook such expensive dishes! It won’t work! I’ll do it.”
“Hmm. But.”
“Kael, if you do this, you won’t be able to save this material. I’ll do it.”
I felt like I would get beaten more if I kept pushing it any longer, so I came out quietly.
She cooks for you as if she is excited.
‘Hmm, then I’ll try to look for traces again.’
Thinking like that, I quietly looked out the window.
‘It’s getting late at night now, so there could be something going on.’
If this doesn’t work, it’s better to just give up.
I carefully inspected Lisa’s house so as not to disturb her.
Starting with the drawers, I searched them one by one to see if there was a secret passageway.
However, unfortunately, nothing in particular was discovered.
‘Yes. It didn’t make any sense to begin with.’
It’s true that in the past, I was just a novice compared to now, but even so, it’s ridiculous that I didn’t know for ten years.
In the end, it is said that there is nothing special in this house.
“Whoa.”
Still, just in case, I decided to search until the end.
I released magical power this time.
Soon, magical power spread throughout the village.
Next moment.
“Hmm?!”
I discovered a magic that I had never felt before.
I definitely didn’t feel any magical power during the day.
But now I found a small trace of magical power.
But something is strange.
‘What is it?’
For some reason, the discovered magic power moves, albeit little by little.
I quickly opened the door.
“Kael, where are you going?”
“Let me get some fresh air for a moment.”
“It should come soon.”
“Okay. I get it.”
With those words, I walked towards the place where I could feel magical power.
Then after a while.
-Wow. Ugh.
“?!”
Soon we arrived at our destination.
Blue magic power glowing from beneath the collapsed building.
If you look at this, I would actually have done that.
However, the reason I was surprised now was because a ghost that looked like a transparent person appeared on top of this collapsed building.
“Who are you?”
-Hmm? What? Can you see me?
At my question, the ghost looks at me blankly with a somewhat surprised face.
Soon, he looks at me and reveals his teeth.
-Is that so?
“?”
-Well, if I were to introduce myself, I would say that I am Lee Ji-hoon, who is called a person from another world and is your ancestor.
