Accidental Reunion – 3
The blood font of the soul is red.
Again, check the body’s pigtails.
This one is black.
Now everything makes sense.
[What is it? Let’s get to know each other.]
‘Did I say that Ophelia’s pigtail is black?’
[okay. That’s why I thought he was dead.]
‘right. Ophelia’s body is obviously dead. But what about that soul? Is the soul dead?’
Trail doesn’t speak English.
[If only the soul remained, wouldn’t it be dead?]
‘What do you think you mean when you say, ‘We’re dead?’
[A philosophical talk in the middle of the night…]
‘Nope. It’s a realistic story.’
In general, we ‘dead’ the death of the body. say
However, necromancers express death a little differently.
-Soul crossed the Redbee River.
In other words, it means that the soul has entered the underworld.
According to the explanations of the necromancers, the underworld exists on the other side of the Redbee River.
‘Well, it actually means the same thing. When the body dies, the soul is bound to cross the Redbee River immediately and surely.’
[……]
‘It’s just that my pigtail is ‘dead’. To judge that, the criterion is whether the soul has entered the underworld. I’d say it’s a little strict.’
[Well.]
‘In other words, in my view, Ophelia’s soul is still ‘alive’.’
So, Ophelia’s body was judged dead and black.
Her soul was judged to be alive and red.
‘A living soul in a dead body.’
how inconsistent this is
what a lie
It is truly the idea and skill of the devil of lies.
Ophelia could be said to be Adria’s ‘masterpiece’ in itself.
[Right. That’s why Ardwin saw Ophelia’s soul and said he didn’t die.]
‘okay. It’s Idria for making such an unbalanced yet exquisite adjustment.’
[Then what is Ophelia’s body now? Look, I’m still breathing.]
As Trail said, Ophelia’s breathing seemed even and calm.
It certainly doesn’t make sense for a dead body to breathe.
What exactly did Idria do?
Ummm… ah.
Then suddenly lightning struck my head.
‘Maybe this?’
I swallowed my saliva involuntarily.
The sound of saliva running down the throat is unusually loud.
That was then.
Whoops.
Someone appeared next to me.
It was bright and huge at first.
It was white and had a shape.
I seemed to know my identity at a glance.
‘Are you a trail?’
[Eh? I can see… Oh. I cast Ardwin’s spell.]
‘It’s very different from the image I had in mind. It looks unsatisfyingly sacred.’
[If you are the first hero, you can say that it is sacred enough.]
I slowly raised my gaze.
and. I knew it.
– I sinned against Idria and one other person.
Pig letters are visible on the trail as well.
I growled inside.
‘Your pigtail is black.’
[Your guess is correct. A soul that crosses the Redbee River appears black. I must have crossed over to the underworld when Kyle killed me.]
‘Look, you say? Can’t you remember?’
[I told you. When I came to my senses, it was in your body. The last battle with Idria before returning.]
I nodded and changed the subject.
‘Anyway, you were pretty good. I’ve only sinned against two people.’
Adria and…
I unfolded the pigtails.
……
kayle?
‘Are you guilty of a crime against Idria and Kayld?’
[Well. Well, as expected.]
‘no. Let’s say Idria. Because I’ve killed Idria countless times. But what crime have you committed against Kayle?’
[I had possessed his body.]
He explained briefly.
Originally, when Trail was born as a warrior to kill Idria, the soul always entered the empty body.
However, before the return, for some reason, he had occupied Caled’s body.
[At first, I felt sorry for him. From his point of view, I must have been like a robber who stole my body.]
‘Ummm.’
[But I had to kill Idria, so I had no choice. I’ll leave when the time comes, so I asked for your understanding…]
‘It must have been difficult.’
[okay. But for this part, I have no intention of blaming Caled.]
I pondered for a moment and asked.
‘Then Kayle pushed you out of my body?’
[uh. I don’t know what number was used. At some point, my memory was cut off.]
I clicked my tongue.
Trail brought up another story as to whether the topic wasn’t very appealing.
[The story of Caled is over. Rather, killing the Demon King is also considered a sin. You’re too much of a pigletter.]
‘…Yes.’
okay.
Why is killing a demon-like being considered a sin?
I can’t see my pigtails.
Even killing the Demon King is a crime.
‘Then how many sins have I committed?’
Suddenly, my heart felt terrified.
At that moment, a light leaked from the communication bead in his arms.
Afraid that Ophelia would wake up, I quickly checked that it was Neryl.
I quickly left the room and activated the marble.
“why. I am busy right now.”
-know. You’re standing in front of the sleeping Ophelia, swallowing saliva.
“It sounds strange to say that. Oh, by the way, you were the watchdog now. where are you?”
-my room. I put a simple surveillance spell in that room.
“Did the offense directly hide?”
– Why would a wizard use such an ignorant method?
I asked with a grin.
“therefore? Why did you contact me?”
– I’ll be good at monitoring, so stop and go to sleep. I watched to see if he was going to do something great, and he started salivating.
“So it’s not like that.”
– If I can’t sleep, will you come to my room? I’ll make you some tea.
I nodded my head lightly.
“Then shall we have a drink?”
-yes. come quickly
drop.
Communication is cut off.
After inserting the communication marble, I was astonished at myself for a moment.
The creepiness that had made me shiver a while ago disappeared like a lie.
next day.
I first shared what I found out yesterday.
Xenia said in annoyance.
“Ophelia is dead?”
“Only the body.”
“Hey, that doesn’t mean he’s dead.”
“The soul did not cross the Redby River. I think there is still a chance.”
However, Xenia’s complexion did not improve.
Ardwin looked at her complexion and asked me.
“How can a soul remain in a dead body? When the body dies, the soul automatically crosses the Redbee River. Or, like Iori, become a ghost and wander around.”
“It must be Idria’s work. You created the lie of a living soul in a dead body.”
“But Ophelia was clearly breathing.”
“Idria made the black sun in the capital.”
Everyone tilts their heads at the somewhat absurd remark.
“The real Jewel of Corruption was ours, but we created a fake Black Sun as if it were what it was.”
“It was…”
“And so is this warrior’s sword. Everyone already knows that this is a fake made by Idria, right?”
Neryl’s complexion changes.
she asked in a trembling voice.
“You mean you made a ‘fake body’? And you put Ophelia’s soul into that fake body?”
“okay.”
A fake body is not ‘life’.
They were nothing but fake hearts and fake lungs made with the power of the Demon King.
In other words, a doll.
No one says the doll is alive.
So, my Piglet also judged that body as dead.
I said.
“Why do some of the wizards make golems?”
“yes. It’s very low-efficiency, so it’s almost academic.”
“You don’t say golems are alive. Ophelia’s body is just like that.”
“Then what about the real body? Is it somewhere around here, like Ardwin’s father?”
“Probably not.”
Despite this, hiding Ardwin’s father in his own room was just a game for Idria.
Ophelia Gunn is much more important than that, so I wouldn’t have been playing around with it.
[Or maybe the real body was destroyed.]
‘It’s never too late to say that after looking at all possibilities.’
[All possibilities?]
‘Idria and Ophelia’s secret was Grade A.’
[ah. After all, it wasn’t long before I leveled up.]
‘okay. I’m going to take this job well, raise the level, and then see the secrets of the two. Then you will know whether you hid your real body or broke it.’
Trail nodded as if in understanding.
I said.
“Anyway, as long as you find Ophelia’s real body, you’ll be able to destroy that fake body with your own mind.”
“……”
“Then Ophelia’s soul will try to cross the Redbee River as the heavenly god has arranged. Then Ardwin…”
“yes. It means I can grab that soul and put it into a real body.”
I nodded.
There was a little bit of relief on Xenia’s face.
It seemed that my heart was relieved when I saw a certain degree of success in what was once a daunting task.
She nodded her head at me.
“Mr Maid. I’m sorry for always getting help, but…”
“You have helped me many times more than I have helped you. I’ll definitely bring Ophelia back, so don’t worry too much.”
“Thank you so much for saying that. If you save Ophelia, I’ll give Maid half of my meal in the future. forever.”
Our mouths were wide open.
“That was it.”
“Is it ok to make such a promise? Xenia’s sister.”
“But actually, even if you cut it in half, it’s only one serving.”
Lissel and Serrain, who have joined relatively recently, and who only perceive Xenia as having a good appetite, tilted their heads.
The two looked at each other and said.
“What? these people.”
“Isn’t that some kind of password?”
“I heard it was just a joke…”
“They are too serious to be joking.”
stay together a little longer
We first found Ophelia.
But she had left early in the morning with David.
Not only them, but also Count Akane was absent.
“ah. After all, it was from today.”
It’s the harvest festival, a festival in the territory of Dronor.
Did you say that it will continue for a week from today?
Lissel opened her mouth.
“It’s a big deal. During the festival, it will be very crowded, so how do you find Mr. Ophelia there?”
“By the way, you still don’t know.”
“yes?”
“Because Xenia is amazingly good at finding people.”
Lissel tilted her head and tried to ask Xenia.
But I couldn’t ask.
It disappeared at some point.
He also seemed to be quite in a hurry.
“uh? I must have been here a while ago…”
“Xenia can share vision with Agril. You will be able to find anything through it.”
“That’s an image that Offense seems to be good at. You just disappeared without a trace, Mr. Offense, are you okay with this?”
Offense replied.
“Why do I stay still and curse?”
“It’s not an insult. I mean, I’m seriously worried.”
“It’s worse than cursing.”
Anyway, after waiting for a while, I could hear the windows in the hallway rattling in the wind.
When I opened the door, I saw a huge god’s chariot in front of me.
And Xenia’s voice was heard on Agril’s back.
“Hurry up!”
“Did you convince Agril? We burn.”
“Is that a problem now?”
It’s sad that Agril seems to be becoming more and more of a cold meal.
Ophelia was enjoying the feast with David.
We got off Agril and followed them.
As they approached somehow through the rushing crowd, they heard the sound of their conversation.
“What do you think?”
“yes? How are you?”
“Isn’t it nice to see your hometown quite crowded?”
“ah.”
“My father spent a lot of time with him. I also proposed a number of policies that would be helpful to the local residents as much as possible.”
“……”
“I wanted to see you smiling happily when you came back.”
At those words, Ophelia’s cheeks turned red.
David glanced at her like that and continued.
“But I don’t feel like I like it.”
“What… I am happy enough now.”
“Nope. It’s a face with a lot of trouble Ever since I first came back. Especially.”
He lowered his voice.
“Especially when I had a headache a few days ago.”
Did that guy even notice?
That it’s not just a lost rebound of memory.
I thought it was a surprise, so I paid attention to his face.
Unlike the bloated Count Akain, David’s face seemed to have some traces of the 4th party hero.
David continues.
“Just in time, the warrior from the north is here. My father and our estate obviously follow Caled, but the reputation of a hero will not just be earned.”
“……”
“Why don’t we have a consultation with Maid instead? I will make a seat for you.”
He’s a very special guy.
There’s no way Ophelia would turn down David’s offer, so I think we’ll be able to interview sooner rather than later.
The moment I thought so
David’s body stopped.
The light disappears from his eyes.
His mouth was open and his face hardened like a corpse.
We were shocked to see the change.
“What did you just do? Ophelia.”
“Didn’t you do anything?”
“But why is that little David all of a sudden doing that? What did Ophelia do?”
“But isn’t Ophelia a strong enough force to deceive us all?”
The last serene was wrong.
Ophelia may have deceived the eyes of my comrades, but she did not deceive mine.
Exactly, my pigtail.
I checked Ophelia’s black pigtail.
There was a new name written on it that didn’t exist just a few seconds ago.
-David de Hoffmann.
‘I have sinned. I just committed a crime against David.’
[What sin?]
‘Let’s check now.’
As I said, Trail just used the battery’s eyes.
＜I used the Eye of the Battery.＞
＜Currently the battery’s eye level is 3. The secret level that can be read is B level.＞
＜The selection condition is ‘Secret between Ophelia Mays and David de Hoffmann.’＞
＜This secret level is level C. Browse.＞
