Chapter 41 Research

The three of us returned to the inn where we had stayed before and waited until the morning. We also do a guard turn to anticipate if there is an attack.

In the morning the activities in the city took place as usual as if nothing had happened. In addition, the royal army that was not seen last night in the city is now passing by.

The city gate I destroyed earlier has returned intact. The former fight in the city was also nowhere to be seen at all.

This is really weird. I felt that our opponent this time was someone who was an expert at using magic.

Emilia and Laura investigated the area around the palace to see if all the places we passed back were as they were. While I went to investigate in some noble houses.

Some noble houses look normal. Some people went in and out of the house without any strangeness at all.

However some noble houses felt very quiet. There were no signs of life from that house, like a haunted house. I asked the locals about the house and they replied that the house had not been occupied for a few months.

I felt even more confused after hearing their answer. Yesterday these houses looked normal, but now they are empty.

I tried to get into the house through one of the windows. When I entered the house it was a complete mess. There's nobody inside.

I then searched every room in the house and the results were nil. I didn't find anyone in the house.

When I was about to get out of the house, suddenly a knife was thrown at me from behind. I fended it off using Gladio.

When I looked towards the person who threw the knife, I saw someone wearing a servant's clothes there. Not just 1 or 2 people but a lot and they carry knives.

I looked at their faces and they were dead. Means that is in front of me right now is a controlled undead.

They then attacked me simultaneously. Since they are only virtual alive, I so need not hesitate to fight them. I used Grando to freeze and crush them in an instant.

After I finished I left the house and returned to the inn to regroup with the others. When I entered the room, Emilia and Laura were waiting for me inside.

“Sorry, I'm late.”

“Not what master, we also just got here.”

“Then, we start the report of our investigation today,” said Laura.

“Good start.”

I told you the results of my investigation in the houses of the nobles. From normal to empty. I also told of the undead attack from one of the 1 empty noble houses earlier.

“Master also fought the undead there?”

“Yes. Wait did you say too?” my many.

“True Ciel. We also fight the undead, but not in waitress clothes. They are the troops we fought last night. In addition there are also generals, among them,” explained Laura.

“We also beat them all, because they are the undead,” Emilia continued.

It kind of bothers me. I haven't freed them from Grando, I didn't even kill them. But why they could turn into undead and who made them is what I'm thinking.

“Master, indeed those who are frozen have been released?”

“That was Emilia's question. I didn't do anything else to them after I froze them. Moreover if they become undead, instead of anyone killing them?”

“It's true. Even a necromancer, they need a corpse to be turned on instead of the one still alive.”

“Or maybe we're up against more than 1 person right now. I mean in the leader category not his army,” I said.

Then we put together some plans for now. At first we just wanted to make a plan, but because we still do not know our enemy for sure, then we made some.

This plan is just in case we have to fight. I didn't expect a fight with them for a while or at least until help from Tron came.

“I want to find relics for glyphs that are in this city first.”

“We will accompany master,” said Emilia.

“I also want to buy some holy water and also potions just in case,” continued Laura.

We went shopping. I asked some people about the dungeon shop that was in this city. It turned out that the place was not far from the Silver Cat.

Then we went to the store in question. We were surprised when we arrived because the store was so big. Its size was like an inn.

Inside we found several items from the dungeon, ranging from weapons to plants that were inside the dungeon.

I went looking in the relic section. While Laura was taking a look at the paraphernalia section along with Emilia.

After searching I finally found 1 relic for the glyph. I feel like almost most of the relics I get are like second-hand stuff. All this time I just buy it even though there is also something I get, but want how else.

I then paid for the relic. Emilia and Laura also came to pay for the items they bought. After that we went to the potion shop to buy Laura's necessities.

As before, we do not feel any strangeness in this city. But we know that our enemies are always watching this town and maybe us. Before we left earlier, Laura gave Divine Protection to protect ourselves.

Before we return to Silver Cat, there are 1 place we must visit to get holy water. That place is a church.

We went around the city looking for him, but there was nothing we could find. When we asked the people, they answered that there was no church in the city.

“It's strange, yesterday there are some now as if there never was,” said Emilia.

“According to my guess, they destroyed it before we returned,” explained Laura.

“Now, we go back first to Silver Cat,” take me.

When we returned, I took out 2 relics from inside my storage.

“Why are there 2 masters? Where did it come from?” asked Emilia curiously.

“1 I bought, then 1 more from Regyus.”

“Regyus? How can?” laura asked in surprise.

“I don't know how but this just popped up after Regyus died.”

“Be careful master.”

First I destroyed the relic I bought and absorbed the power coming out from it.

Glyph Luminatio has been obtained.

I then read the function. It turned out that his ability was to produce a ball of light that protected its user. It is useful once as a protector and is also suitable for the enemy we are fighting this time.

Then I destroyed the relic I got from Regyus.

Glyph Umbra has been obtained.

The function of this glyph is to move the shadow to attack the enemy. It seems like it can be used to attack and defend.

After that I told about Luminatio to Emilia and Laura. They know that with this we are easier to defeat the undead.

In addition, later tonight we also want to investigate whether today will be the same as yesterday. We also want to know where the people who were wearing black robes yesterday came from.
