14. The Secret

The four people who entered the room had no choice but to stare blankly at the burnt and flying notes.

What the hell is this situation?

[hehehehe.]

A girl’s voice resounds even though no one has spoken. The first to react was Professor Per, who looked the most dull.

“Kyaaa In addition! It’s out again! I’m here again!”

He crouched down with his ears covered and started screaming. Erica hurriedly hugged her, but to no avail.

“Let’s go outside.”

Maybe the door is locked?

Erica felt that kind of worry for a moment, but luckily the doorknob turned properly and she was able to go outside.

“What is this?”

“The girl in the lab. It looks like he played a trick or something.”

Gideon and Karen looked pretty calm.

Especially in the case of Keren, even though she just lost the key to solving this case, she was quick to return to her normal self.

again and again.

As the four of them went out into the hallway outside the room, a crackling sound was heard. I noticed that these were footsteps because they had been ringing with a certain rule.

[Guys.]

An old woman bent over standing in front of the stairs going downstairs.

The moment she saw it, Karen had a gut feeling.

“Professor Erica. Try the hallucination cancellation magic.”

“Perfect the body and soul, distort and regurgitate the corrupt filth, purification.”

The clear sound of the chant unraveled like a skein of thread, naturally creating magic and enveloping the four people.

However, even with this magic, the old woman still raised her head in this direction without disappearing.

Where the eyes were supposed to be, only the vast sea-like darkness remained.

[Do you want to eat candy?]

The exact same repertoire as the students were talking about. I heard that sooner or later his body will stiffen and he will force-feed his eyeballs.

“I don’t intend to wield any of these things.”

Gideon, feeling humiliated at the fact that he had been caught up in such a trivial situation, finally couldn’t stand it and stepped forward.

Place your open palms next to your waist. With the opposite hand, take a position as if drawing a sword.

Roaring!

In an instant, a sword of flame appeared and lit up the 4th floor like a beacon. The heat that oppresses the whole body warms the body.

Gideon drew a sword made of flame and charged at it.

Unlike the students, he intended to solve it right away without any fear.

tall.

The body stops.

Then the old woman smiled and approached Gideon, who had a sword pointed at her neck.

[Draw, what do you want to eat?]

ve.

The long tongue touches the cold floor so easily. And the old woman’s eyeballs on top of it.

It was Gideon who was about to slash his demon-like tongue, but his body didn’t move at all, let alone that.

“… … !”

Even the words don’t come out properly. I couldn’t even swallow my saliva, and the trembling of my throat stopped. A world literally stopped with only consciousness remaining.

It was the health teacher who opened his mouth in the midst of it.

“I will eat.”

[Huh?]

The old woman’s gaze turns to Karen. To be precise, I rolled the eyes on my tongue and looked this way, but anyway.

“I want to eat Grandma’s candy.”

The moment he finished, the old woman had already passed Gideon and was standing in front of Keren.

The old woman smiled broadly in satisfaction and slowly took Keren’s hand and lifted her eyes.

Without hesitation, Karen put it in her mouth and swallowed it.

gulp.

“… … It’s delicious.”

Erica next to her frowned with a disgusted expression, and Fer, whose cheeks were already full, seemed to be holding back his vomit.

The old woman stood blankly at Karen’s answer, then smiled contentedly and hugged her tightly.

[Draw, as long as it tastes good.]

The old woman who just disappeared.

“Wow!”

Fer went to the corner of the hallway and started pouring out his vomit properly, and Erica asked Keren in a cold sweat.

“Are you okay?”

“There is no problem. I have eaten before.”

“… … Yes?”

Erica wondered if she had understood the words correctly, but Keren put her hands in her pockets and kept her mouth shut.

He seemed to be deep in thought, but soon he opened his mouth.

“Oh, fishy smell. I need to rinse my mouth first.”

Karen went into a nearby bathroom. Erica was surprised to hear that she was a monster who crossed countless lines while serving as a mercenary.

“… … Damn it.”

Gideon, unable to resist the old woman, clenched his fists in anger and went straight down to the first floor.

Without even looking at Gideon, Erica thought as she removed the vomit that Fer was pouring out with magic.

From now on, life at the academy will be very hard.

“… … .”

The road down to the basement of the Verdi family was more tightly hidden than I thought.

If I had to ask, should I call it the basement of the basement?

In the case of the first basement floor, it is a place prepared for employees and consists of accommodation, a kitchen, and a cleaning room.

A place where the bottom is prepared to treat us and the guests above.

After passing there, there was a door that went further down in the storage room.

I cross my arms as I see the door blocked by several layers of wooden boards as if it were sealed.

“What is this?”

When I turn my head slightly, my eyes go back to Finden Eye standing next to me. Of course she wouldn’t know, so she moved her gaze to the side one more space.

The butler who accompanied me, who came down to the basement to serve me, explained to me with puzzled eyes.

“It is not specifically known to us, but we only know that it is a place where the old history of the Verdi family lies.”

“Old history?”

“Yes, that is why it has been forbidden to access for a long time.”

The butler who glanced at me with eyes saying that you, the second son of the Verdi family, shouldn’t know about it.

After telling him to go, now that it’s done, he quietly touches it.

thud! thump thump!

Immediately after that, black shimmers poured out from the gap between the door and the board.

“Huh? Wasn’t it a more interesting mansion than I thought?”

Finden-Eye looked around while making a snorting sound, as if it were quite interesting. I couldn’t see a spiritual being, but I felt like I felt something ominous because of my animal-like senses.

Resting my chin in front of the door, I calmly stare at the black ripples sticking out.

It was full of anger, as if it would drag me in at any moment if I touched the thing that was swaying as if it had an ego.

“Hmm.”

after letting out a short breath.

I quietly reached out. Then Sk’al, who had been hiding, immediately took my staff and put it in his hand.

It was used when climbing the Northweden Mountains the other day.

“Summon the wand… … Our master’s skills are unpredictable.”

Ignoring Findenai whispering beside me, I spoke as I touched the ground with my cane.

“Finden child.”

“Yeah?”

“Break it down.”

Usually, if you receive an order like this, it is a normal person to ask again. For example, in the case of Skrull, even though it was a ghost, he looked at me in surprise.

But Finden Eye is different.

“OK!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, he smashed the door as if he were pushing it with all his might.

Quadruped!

Perhaps because it is an old door, the broken door becomes a piece of wood and rolls on the floor.

Insects pouring out along with the spreading dust.

Employees startled by the sudden uproar enter the warehouse, but it doesn’t matter.

Without paying attention to them, I cover my mouth with my sleeve and frown.

‘The energy is strong.’

Even more than dust and bugs, I felt uncomfortable breathing because of the energy of the evil spirits that suffocated my whole body.

‘It’s not a spiritual creature, but it has an energy comparable to that. That’s why it’s ambiguous to see it as an earthly spirit.’

Although the Earth Spirits usually exert explosive influence in their districts. It seemed a little different in this case.

If Grandma had been present at a time like this, she would have given me the correct answer right away.

Even though I’m a little regretful, I take a step.

“Well? Are you thinking of going inside?”

“If you don’t go, no answer will come out.”

“Well, that’s right. The owner is more hospitable than I thought.”

Finden I started following me saying that he liked it. I light a small fire with the tips of my fingers and go down the stairs.

The deeper you go, the stronger the pushing force becomes. Nonetheless, I kept going. In this intuitive power struggle, it is difficult for the lion to beat the living.

Because we have mass.

thump thump.

The underground stairs continued endlessly. In the middle, I heard something from above, but it must have been Darius or Deia who came and cursed at me.

“But the owner doesn’t even know the story of his family?”

“Because I am not the family head.”

Actually, it’s not because I’m not the family head, it’s because I’m not just Deius. It’s been 6 months now, what do you know?

It is full of things you don’t know about the family. Even the Verdi family had a lot of strange things to hide.

“Kkeuh, it’s very different from what I’ve heard through rumors.”

“rumor?”

There is nothing to do while going down the long, long stairs anyway. When asked what rumors were, Finden Ai answered with a shrug.

“No, from what I’ve heard, the ladies-in-waiting who work tell me that you’re a very horny woman.”

“… … .”

“The maid wears such low-quality clothes. But you’re not really touching me, are you?”

It’s funny to say that I’ve changed myself, and even if I say it, nothing changes.

After all, the woman named Finden I was the type to intuitively believe in what she saw, heard, and felt rather than hearsay.

Rather, what I would give you was advice.

“It is not a good idea to tell the master what the maids are saying.”

“I’m not going to be here forever.”

“You’d better be careful though. Maids are Northweden’s source of information. Nothing bad will happen if you make friends with them.”

“… … .”

Especially if you were active as a scrap metal dealer, I wouldn’t bother adding that information collection is more urgent.

Even Finden Eye would have noticed that much.

“Ah, just saying that reminded me of one thing. Did you go out on an errand today?”

“… … ?”

“A very fancy woman asked if you were back? A lover.”

“… … Whoa.”

“It doesn’t look like that, but he must have been to Changgwan often. He said he was waiting for you in the evening. You provided a lot of service. You want me to lick your ass too?”

neither angry nor angry

I just let out a calm breath and tried to suppress the throbbing headache.

How far did this damn body go? If you’re fixing this one, another one pops up.

‘Now that I know of these rumors, they may have kicked me out.’

I also thought that the reason my fiancé, Erica Bright, kicked me out of the academy was because I heard these bad rumors.

I heard that the Bright family hasn’t asked for a breakup yet, so maybe they’re taking the time to save face?

‘There’s no need to hesitate.’

Thinking it was useless consideration, I reached the end of the stairs.

Finding me strange for keeping my mouth shut, Finden Ai asks in surprise.

“What, are you really going to go tonight?”

“Hey, I’m not going.”
