Return of the Class 8 Mage
115.

That was true at the time.

A voice came from one of the destroyed sites.

Ian immediately responded to the voice.

At the same time, he gathered a large amount of mana.

He was fully prepared to fight.

“It's not human.”

Ian knew that as soon as he heard the voice. That's it, for obvious reasons. The seer detection spell was a magic that allowed sensing the flow of mana and all life forms within reach, but no information about the ‘’ lifeforms of that spell was detected. That's so…..

‘It's not human, monster or anything.’

Humans, monsters or even dragons.

They all can't go beyond the reach of ‘categories of life forms’.

Something that stands up well even after passing that category range.

An entity that can move and speak in such a way.

There is only one such entity.

‘A Corpse Alive.’

An undead who has been reborn through black magic.

That was the only conclusion he could draw.

“Thank you guards. This place is home to me and my kind from long ago. If anyone has to be vigilant, it should be us against uninvited intruders. ”

“…..?”

Ian narrowed his eyes after hearing the voice, supposedly, of an undead man. A man who fulfills many characteristics of description in a diary. That is, with the description of ‘the characteristics of the craftsman masters’ recorded in the diary of Mitchell Greenriver.

‘Black hair, pale skin and sneaky voice that does not match his appearance.’

Everything fits from one to ten.

It was time to verify the final characteristic.

“I came to this Knocking Island with the boy's request.”

Ian deliberately spoke in the language of the Greenriver Empire.

“Kids? That kid, who's sleeping?”

In response, the man who was considered an undead spoke in fluent language in the Greenriver Empire. There is not even a trace of inadequacy. Ian was convinced even though they had only exchanged words twice.

This man, he must have had a close relationship with the expert craftsmen in Greenriver's diary.

“And yes, I came to look for you too.”

“….. Do you know me?”

In response to that question, Ian took out a Greenriver diary and a stone containing Craven messages from a spatial pouch.

“I've seen written notes about you in this book. Do you remember the name Mitchell Greenriver?”

“Of course, he is the one who gave me a difficult favor.”

“This is the witch's diary. Dan.”

After closing the diary, Ian showed Craven a message.

“And this is the message this child left behind.”

The man who received Craven's message.

He looked at Craven's face.

“A-ha, this is it, Craven.”

Finally, the man nodded his head.

He must have finally recognized Craven.

“I'm sorry that your visit may have been in vain ...”

The man muttered while looking at Ian.

“Do not wake the child.”

“Is there a reason?”

“Only there will be disappointment.”

Ian is so sensitive. Craven's message indicated that he could not die even if he wanted to die and that the man guarding this island was of course an undead. There was also a very high possibility that Craven was also an undead.

“Are you all undead?”

“Serupa. I mean, we could be considered like that.”

The man admitted without much hesitation.

He could feel the mixed emotions of reluctant acceptance and pain in that short answer.

The methods can be cruel, but it's certainly possible. When Ian had destroyed Herbert, the former ruler of the Ivory Tower tower, who was reborn as an undead, there was a way to burn body parts.

“I also think so.”

But the man's response didn't seem like it.

“To Mitchell Greenriver, the magician, I have repeatedly asked him the same thing. That I want to die now, so burn the pieces of my body. He rejected it many times, but in the end fulfilled my request.”

It was a request from ‘craftsman expert’ that did not appear in the diary.

It is understandable that it is not mentioned at all.

Isn't that really cruel?

“I thought I could die forever with that.”

The man shrugged his shoulders as he said that.

He was finally reborn was what he wanted to say.

“Death is my goal, but all my kind. That is, to everyone who has ever lived on this island. We went to find a way to die and bring him back, but none to this day. Craven must be hiding in his memory, unable to handle the situation.”

Hiding behind his memories.

It must mean that he had sealed off his original memory.

That is the reason behind the condition of multiple personalities.

Because he might have lived in countless forms.

“….”

Ian pensively for a moment.

Find expert craftsmen and create artifacts.

That simple start has become very complicated.

What should I ask the man first?

“…..Fran.”

It's not too hard to find the right answer.

The name had remained with him ever since he heard it.

I had to ask the real identity behind that name.

“It just so happens, do you know someone named Fran?”

“…..!”

The man's drought that was consistent in expression suddenly swayed. This shows the importance of the name Fran.

“Did Craven tell you about the name?”

“He often returns as a normal personality. That's the name he refers to. Fran is also an important name for me so I want answers if possible. ”

“Hm..

The man frowned after hearing that.

He also started looking here.

Everything from Ian's toe to the top of his head.

His eyes rested, more specifically on Ian's hair.

“Now I see it, you look a bit similar.”

Ian felt his heart pumping hard.

That's because the same word carries a lot of weight.

“Concidentally, are you also a witch?”

“It very.”

“As time goes by, you cannot be a boy.”

“What…..?

“Can you be a descendant?”

At this point, his heart instantly became quiet as it pumped out violently. That was because he was in a very anxious state. It was as if opening a forbidden box that should never have been opened.

“Fran Paige.”

“What, What you just said ...”

“The name is often used by that one.”

The man's voice continued.

“It was the name of the person who gave us eternal life, which we once wanted.”
