Reborn As Villain's
Chapter 41: The Museum of Lazarus.

A few days before.

At night, more precisely in the Dormitory of the Teachers. The head of the Estonian Academy, Leon Sera Belmont, has just finished his bath.

While walking out by washing her wet hair, she was startled by the sound of something.

Feeling that the voice was coming from his desk, Leon immediately went over and found that his Protas had a call.

"Rufus..... Tumben he called me these nights?".

Leon muttered to himself wondering why his old partner, Rufus Dom Silva called him. Without wasting much more time, Leon picked up the phone immediately.

"Hello, Rufus.... Tumben you called.... What's up?".

{Well sorry if I interrupted your break.... But, you know...... I'm not gonna call you.... If it's not important}.

"Hmmm..... I-i understand.... Just relax..... So, what do you want to say?".

Rufus was silent for a moment and tried to pay attention to his surroundings. After being sure no one saw him, he immediately returned to talking.

{Based on info from my spy..... Verna's guess is right...... "Thousand Faces"....... Existing in the Kingdom of this}.

Leon was immediately shocked when he heard the information from the mouth of his old colleague.

Thousand Faces was the name for a spy who was skilled in the disguise of the Strost Kingdom. No one knows his real name or his face.

During the war between the Ingrid Kingdom and the Strost Kingdom, thousand Faces spies were sent and infiltrated into Ingrid Kingdom with the aim of reducing the power of the superior Ingrid Kingdom at that time by creating divisions among the citizens and inciting the nobles.

By creating propaganda in society, the Strost Kingdom could exploit the chaos to invade the Ingrid Kingdom which was busy with internal affairs.

But all of that failed completely.

Because Leon and Hyoga surprisingly found their secret base and immediately massacred 500 soldiers who had been prepared. In fact they managed to capture King Ritcher Fin Strost.

Thousand Faces will face Verna de Zinvarca. Despite the defeat of Verna, Thousand Faces managed to escape. And Verna had absolutely no chance to know what her real face was like.

Hearing that fact, Leon was speechless. He was silent for a moment before returning to talk.

"Is the info really accurate?".

{100%}.

"Then how is he still in this Kingdom?".

{Entahlah..... If my guess is right..... It was possible that there was a "certain party" who had secretly helped him to hide during this}

"Do you have any "assumptions" about this "certain party?".

{Hmm....... The info is still not accurate..... So I'm not really sure}

"so yeah".

{But the obvious..... "The "change" was involved in this one case...... However, for the Oscar case he was 100% involved}.

"I suspected..... If the "Change" is indeed targeting Hyoga and his Family by using the Oscars".

{However, Leon..... I still have one more piece of information..... But, this time I want to ask you for help}.

Leon immediately squinted his eyes. Without even being asked, Rufus immediately told him what his intentions were.

{It's about.....}.

I don't know what Rufus wants until he asks Leon for help. And Leon himself doesn't seem to mind that.

Back to the Activities of Estonian Academy students in Monarch City.

After 4 days of finishing the exercise of maritime exhausting and draining energy and mind. Their next activity was to visit the oldest museum in the city of Monarch and the oldest in the Kingdom of Ingrid, the Lazarus Museum.

As the name implies.

This place is a place where students can learn the history of the continent of Antaresia, the history of the founding of the Kingdom of Ingrid and the most important is the history of ancient wars through several replicas of artifacts, paintings, paintings, inscriptions and much more.

This activity is not a compulsory program. Students are allowed to not participate in this activity. Even so, Dylan, Ritzia Awin and Sylvia decided to take part in this activity.

"Heeee...... Both from the outside appearance, as well as the inside...... This museum is really similar to the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia".

"Yes.... Standing firmly on the ground with an area of 66. 842 m/square...... With a collection of nearly 3 million.... It's only natural that this place is the biggest".

"Dylan, Awin..... What were you two talking about?".

"What is the State Hermitage Museum..... I just heard it for the first time".

Ritzia and Sylvia were confused after hearing Dylan and Awin's conversation which they themselves thought was very strange. Even Sylvia to ask about the State Hermitage Museum that accidentally came out of Dylan's mouth.

"Oh, we're just praising the Museum's performance".

"And as for what I said earlier, I'd be very happy if you guys ignored it".

Hearing the answers of the two made Ritzia and Sylvia seem a little disappointed. But, having no choice both do what Awin and Dylan ask.

Not wanting to waste any more time, the four immediately stepped into the Lazarus Museum. Once inside, they were all immediately impressed by the beauty of the ornaments, lighting and splendor of the place.

"Woaaaahhh...... This place is really beautiful!!!".

"You're right Sylvia...... Although I have been in many luxurious places..... But, this place is really amazing".

"I think people like museums not only because of their knowledge, artwork, or history..... The architecture also has its own charm".

Ritzia and Sylvia were impressed by the architecture and grandeur possessed by this Lazarus museum even they also nodded in agreement with what Awin said.

"Then let's move on..... Don't miss the other group".

Dylan who was aware that the four of them were already behind with the entourage immediately told Ritzia, Sylvia and Awin to immediately step up following the other student troupe that was in front of them.

(----------------------)

Ritzia and Sylvia decide to leave together leaving Dylan and Awin who eventually also decide to go together.

After a long walk the two immediately stopped in front of a beautiful ancient painting.

In the painting, there is a picture of a beautiful girl sitting on a tree branch and a handsome man standing beside a tree, looking at the girl from below.

Looking at the painting, somehow the two felt familiar.

"Aniki..... This painting is like a stranger?".

"Hmmm.... Youre right...... I think we've seen it somewhere..... But, when?".

While both are busy thinking and scanning their old memories. From the back there was someone who suddenly grabbed them.

"It was a painting by a man Rain Fin Lutherking........ Themed love story of the status difference between Princess Duke, Lagerta fou Isla and her most loyal bodyguard Martin".

Shocked for a moment, the two turned to the man who was embracing them, who apparently was Alberto Fin Goncalves, the teacher of the Estonian Academy who was responsible for teaching mathematics.

He was described as a silver-haired handsome man with gray eyes. And has an ideal height for an adult man.

"Love stories differ in status....... Does Alberto-sensei know about the history of this painting?".

Awin who was curious about the words of Alberto tried to ask about the history of the painting they were looking at.

"The story begins with a wedding..... A daughter of the Duke named Lagerta fou Isla.... At the time, he was married to his wife, Joseph Stalin Ararat...... Falling in love by an ordinary knight named Martin...... Then Lagerta asked Martin to take her away from the show...... Because of his actions, Martin begins to be branded as a fugitive and is constantly chased by knights..... Even so, Martin who was basically a knight belonging to Joseph remained loyal to him..... And never once touched or did anything with Lagerta....... And after a lot of blood spilled..... Joseph finally gave up..... And decided to acknowledge and renounce Lagerta as the wife of Martin..... Even Martin was given a piece of land...... And still welcome as his knight".

While continuing to look at the painting in front of him Alberto very enthusiastically tell the history of the ancient painting. But on the one hand, Dylan and Awin at the same time felt familiar with the story.

"Well, that's the story and history I know..... Then I go first..... Dylan-kun, Awin-kun's..... Enjoy your time here".

Once satisfied, Alberto immediately leaves Dylan and Awin in confusion.

Seeing the figure of Alberto disappear, the two looked back at the painting and began to speak.

"Hey, Aniki isn't the history of this painting really similar to the story of "The Tree of Love".... The love story between a girl named Grainne and a knight named Diarmuid, huh?".

"Yes....... I just remembered that too".

Their brains instantly stopped working, because they knew that the history of the painting in front of them was really similar to the history of "The Tree of Love" in their previous lives.

(----------------------)

It looks good on top.

It turned out that there was an underground facility hidden right under the waterways of the Monarch city.

In that very dark place, the longest sequence of large tubes were filled by several unconscious people, either alive or dead.

They mean people who are in the tube partly can not be recognized as humans anymore, because of its shape that almost resembles a monster.

Meanwhile, there were some people in white robes like the robes of a scientist were checking one by one the tubes and recording them in the paper they were carrying.

"Yeahaaaa.......".

The cry of a little girl clasped all over the place asking for help. Even so, the people around him remained silent without doing anything.

Until, finally the girl's voice began to faintly inaudible again and finally the girl lost the light in her eyes and then died.

"Dam..... Failed again...... Hey, you guys, get him out of there and dump the body".

An overweight old man who appears to be the head of the research group. It seemed frustrating because again the experiment failed.

"Fear again, yes Morgan...... This is the 300th time".

A hooded man suddenly appeared and spoke to the fat man with the call of Morgan.

"Sad..... I won't be affected by your sarcasm, Reiz...... No. gabe..... I mean, Thousand Faces".

The man in the exact same hood as the man who sent the Minotaur to fight Dylan was Reiz aka Thousand Faces the great spy of the Strost Kingdom.

Based on that alone, it was revealed that this underground facility was the property of researchers from the Strost Kingdom. Who are conducting inhumane experiments.

"Hou...... Don't be so emotional, Morgan..... I know you're frustrated..... Because the kid you thought had high magical abilities...... It could only be this much".

"Yes, yeah...... I knew it....... Damn if this keeps up, I'll lose a lot of rats..... Without producing anything".

"You don't have to worry about that...... I'll provide you with plenty of experimental rats..... The important thing is that you can create as many "Chimera" troops as possible".

"But, it'll all be for nothing, if I don't have a candidate for "Catalizer".

Suddenly Reiz/Thousand Faces smiled hearing that from him. Realizing that, Morgan could only raise one of his eyebrows.

"If that...... I think this guy..... Could be a good "Catalizer".

Thousand Faces immediately submitted a file to Morgan. Accepting it, he immediately read carefully. Shortly after, Morgan began to smile broadly at the sign that he was very happy.

"It just so happens that "people" are here in this city..... But, even so...... You guys have to be careful what if you want to kidnap her......Because the people around him, are dangerous people especially....... Especially the two people whose names are behind it".

Morgan then opened the next sheet, and he squinted. I was doubtful about what he read.

"Whoi, Reiz...... You're sure they're the "threats" you mean?".

"You can say that because you don't see their power directly".

"Alright, alright..... I'll show you your warning".

"Then, what are you waiting for..... We're gonna kidnap that "man" tonight".

Reiz/Thousand Faces and Morgan begin to smile and plan to carry out an act of kidnapping people who have the potential to become the "Catalizer" of their experiments.
