Episode 130
Allen and Maria departed from the academy and arrived at the center of the eastern gorge in the central city of the eastern gorge, Baydern, at the end of a long journey.
They easily passed the checkpoint just by being students of the academy and headed straight for the central castle.
The inner self that arrived like that was exuding a magnificent momentum just by looking at it.
A castle built with numerous materials from the canyon, and a wall made of red rocks unique to this area.
Although they did not use or use luxurious materials compared to their wealth, there was a corner that made viewers’ eyes happy.
Allen and Maria were escorted by the butler to the reception room in front of the main gate.
“In a little while, Elin-sama, who is in charge of this matter, will arrive. Please rest in peace until then.”
The deacon withdrew politely without a single flutter of courtesy and etiquette.
As the door closed, Allen waited without action for the other person to arrive.
However, from the moment he entered the drawing room, or even from the front door, there was a constant staring at him.
“•••Why do you do that?”
The owner of the gaze staring at him, Maria, stared intently at Allen’s question as if there was something to it and opened her mouth.
“Allen.”
“Why are you calling me?”
“Do you have any family here?”
As Allen frowned at the sudden sound, she tilted her head.
“Nobles strictly manage their lineage.”
Even where a mere illegitimate child lives, they thoroughly check the bloodline leak.
“That can be a statement that ignores the 3rd generation family and the Reinhardt family. I advise you not to speak like that in front of other people.”
Allen sighed in response to her rude remarks.
I know that those words are not her true intentions.
The fact that she lacks common sense in some areas is also surprising.
But this was the third generation. Even if they came to carry out their mission at their request, it would not be right to make a remark that would feel disrespectful in their domain.
“There’s no way anyone from our family can be here.”
She nodded calmly, as if Allen had something to say.
“••• Uh w o.
But he didn’t stop looking at him with a face he still didn’t know what he was.
Allen thought quietly as if it didn’t matter.
‘Demon Contractor, La:
It was a name I hadn’t heard in a long time.
How would you be able to track someone like that yourself?
However, he did not know any detailed information about them, as he did not belong to Estodor or deliberately contracted with the devil.
Basically, except that they want sacrifices, it doesn’t matter if you’re ignorant.
Therefore, the difficulty of tracking will vary depending on what information the Rupinus family provides.
How much time had been spent thinking about this mission like that, the door opened with a knock.
Allen’s movement, turning his head, stiffened for a moment.
Despite his attitude, the woman continued to speak in a businesslike tone.
“Hello. The person responsible for supporting this mission. My name is Elin.”
Next to the maid who opened the door, there was a woman with a wine-colored short hair that fell to her shoulders.
“nice to see you.”
Maria’s gaze deepened.
Allen managed to wipe away his embarrassment and opened his mouth.
“•••Hello. My name is Allen Reinhardt, who has been assigned to track down a demon contractor.”
“This is Maria Caritas.”
But even so, his awkwardly stiff face indirectly showed how surprised he was when he saw her.
“Now, there will be a lot of travel today, so I’ll just give you an overview and brief explanation of the work. So…”
Elin looked at Allen clearly and smiled.
“Thank you for your little attention:’

Dinner after a sumptuous meal of local specialties.
The view of the canyon reflected in the red sunset is considered one of the specialties that can only be seen in Weidern because of the unique color of the red rocks.
Normally, Allen would have seen it for a while, but he could not get out of the room he was assigned to.
“•••I asked if they were in the same family.”
At her request, Maria was seated in the next room a little away from him.
Even in the third generation, the students’ anxiety in an unfamiliar place was understandable, so Elin readily agreed.
Allen remembered the woman he introduced as Elin.
Someone else with burgundy hair very similar to the one you know.
‘mother… .’
Lisa Raiharo E
Allen did not know where her family was. No, she must be right that she didn’t feel the need to find out.
The Reinhardt family was said to have been great in the past, but now it is in decline.
There are not many families who will marry into such a family.
Therefore, even though there was not much interaction with the mother-in-law, it did not feel strange.
it was natural
“By the way…”
Wasn’t that?
Thoughts were complicated. So, is her mother the illegitimate child of the third generation? She wouldn’t benefit from Jungsil’s children coming to the Reinhardt family… .
It gave me a headache to find traces of an unexpected person in an unexpected place.
How long have you been in the room like that?
You’re just wasting your time undecided on how you’re going to act or a plan for tracking down the demon contractor.
Someone knocked on the door.
Allen came to his senses and answered.
“who are you.”
“This is El Lin.”
Allen squinted at her approach, and Taeyeon =
“What happened to you in the middle of the night?” Poetry Igi Mai Mai
“Anything that was not communicated to Confucius by mistake during the day” Uh s
yeah.”
Is that really all? Allen shook his head.
“But it’s too late now, so tomorrow…”
“Eliza.”
“I have a request for her.”
A voice came from outside, as if he understood all of his silence.
“I’m sure you’re confused. But… just listen to the story for a moment and you’ll understand. Could you open the door?”
•% “
When I closed my eyes for a moment, my coolness seemed to return.
‘I’ll have to check it out anyway:
Can you be sure they’re right in the first place? Allen’s eyes stared at him for a moment, as if guessing what was beyond the door.
When the door opened, Elin stood there wearing the same outfit she had seen before, holding a lamp.
She nodded as if Allen had made the right choice, then turned around.
“Follow me. We only have time tonight.”
Allen nodded silently and followed her.
So they went inside the mansion. But I never met anyone else. Allen guessed at the sight.
‘I had the permission of the governor.’
The fact that there were no guards at night meant that she intervened above her.
Mothers may be in a higher position than you think. Or it could be that she takes good care of her illegitimate children as it is rumored to be terrible for her bloodline.
Allen deferred judgment and followed her.

“Here it is.”
I arrived at the door of a room.
The door, made of auburn-colored ebony wood, was still shiny on the outside, as if it had been well cared for.
Elin turned her head toward Allen as if she could no longer enter.
“Go in. She asked you to guide Allen into this room.”
“•••Thanks for the guide.”
She didn’t budge, as if she was going to watch until Allen entered.
Allen twisted the doorknob with doubt, tension, and a glimmer of anticipation that she might know her mother’s secret.
gorgo.
“This….”
The door closed with Allen’s startled voice.
shudder.
She stood there as if waiting for him to come out.
Through the dark shadows, only a small lamp quietly illuminated the hallway.
In the room, there were several mountains of documents that could reach the waist of an adult man.
Allen’s complexion changed as he read the text on the material.
“How to return the soul to its original body…”
The relationship between this world and the present world.
The question of the possibility of two souls in one body.
A necromancy that extracts souls.
From materials you can normally find, to knowledge of necromancy that Allen couldn’t touch.
Numerous books and materials were arranged at a glance so that anyone could easily recognize them.
Allen stretched out his hand as if possessed.
His eyes read through the papers at high speed. This data was deeper and broader than the knowledge he had acquired before the return.
When he finished reading a mountain of papers like that, Allen sighed.
“•••Is it the mother’s fault?”
Since my mother asked me to guide you here, it must have been Eliza who gathered this material.
With that thought, he had no choice but to stop reading the material.
‘The same thing must have happened before the return.’
He wasted his time, possessed by the knowledge he had not gained until he first entered the room. However, if you think about it carefully, it would not have happened only in this episode.
‘•••It’s been less than a year since I started, but this is the information.’
But, was the information that mother and Eliza gathered during the 10 years before the return was less than this?
Absolutely not.
Many times this would have accumulated more data, and would have done a deeper research than Allen.
However, the Eliza Allen remembers was still nothing but luxury.
That said, she hadn’t found a way to bring Julius back. During the ten-year period of Allen’s attack on Julius, he returns.
Having reached that point, Allen felt a terrible feeling for a moment.
There’s no way to save your brother?
Should I kill Julius? The way to drive out Kim Woo-jin is really…
‘for a moment.’
If so, why did your mother show you this place?
After looking at the data with a dark gaze for a moment, he had no choice but to think about her intentions again.
Do you simply want to revisit the material you have checked?
No, it wouldn’t be for such a frivolous reason. Can you do that kind of acting for ten years before returning just to share that despair?
“Yeah, broadening your horizons. If the intention of showing this material is related to the situation itself…”
Allen’s logic added a leap to the elixir.
If even coming to the Lupines had been planned.
If Maria was accompanied by the party, it was to add strength.
What if she borrows the power of her family to tell her something?
“Are you a demon contractor?”
In Allen’s mind, the mission plan, the demon before the return, and the pursuit of the demon contractor continued in a circle.
The demon contractor is holding a clue to something.
his eyes brightened
“Yeah, then the intention of showing these materials is simple.”
She just wanted to tell her son, who wants to do something on his own, that he’s not alone.
That’s why I showed you these materials.
When anxiety blooms, it breeds worry and regret.
Nevertheless, the idleness and helplessness that bloomed earlier make him unable to do anything, and he falls into a sense of self-destruction.
Allen merely spoke of giving up because it overlapped with the memories before the return.
‘There is hope.
Allen repeated it once more.
There is hope, and we can get Julius back.
He did not resist the feeling of being transferred like an obsession. He can’t deny him. This goal has now become his life itself.
Two things to think about now.
‘Catching the devil’s contractor somehow and catching the clue and.,
Why did your mother marry into the Reinhardt family?
I thought that only the Dragias family could know the secrets of the Reinhardt family, but you might be able to get information here as well.
There was a lot to plan.
He could never miss the opportunity that his mother made for him.
