Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Legacy of the Caine Witch

By the time I got back to the town, it was already night, and the winter night came so fast that it was completely dark almost three hours into the day.

Roofs were gradually erected in the northern part of the town...... This was Luke's idea.

Not knowing when it would snow again, Luke arranged for the town's young people to take turns working during the day and night in the hope of clearing the road before the next heavy snowfall.

Even though Sean had brought out the bodies of the victims of Buxi Village, a large part of them were still buried in houses that were more difficult to excavate, and the road to Creek Village had to be reopened, and it was best to do it as soon as possible in winter.

"Sir, leave it to me here, you've been busy all day, go down and rest. ”

After dinner, Luke said to Sean.

This will probably be the case most of the time, and it will be too draining for you to wait all the time.

"Well, I'm sorry for you. ”

After fighting twice a day, Sean did feel a little tired, and he was not pretentious.

He saw that there was no archaeological team in the crowd, and he guessed that they would also go back, so he briefly explained a few words to Luke and went home to rest first.

Danti went to the nearest city of Koga to ask for reinforcements, and it was estimated that it would be a few days before he could return, so he had to rely on his own escort and the townspeople to help him first.

When they returned home, it was very quiet, and almost all of them were sent to the disaster area, except for the old butler Kalibo, who was old......

"Your Excellency is back?"

"Hmm. He nodded his head.

"Your Excellency looks tired, I've heard about the situation over there, it's cruel! Why should we have such a catastrophe in Telemien, which has not happened in the town for many years. Kalibo, who was also a native of Telemian, was equally sad to hear what had happened to Creek.

"Has there been a similar situation before?"

"Probably when I was younger, but it was a forest fire, and there used to be fruit growing in the Telemian area, and the income was good...... It was after that fire that the entire Orchard Hill was destroyed, and hundreds of people were burned to death! ”

Kalibo is probably older than the previous generation of Baron Vegel.

When he was a child, it must have been traced back to his grandfather's generation! No, even if that generation was still young, it had to be a generation older.

"I've told Dandy to go to Count Hamil in Koga and hope he can help us, and we'll take care of it. After all, as a local leader, Sean can't sigh, otherwise others will be even less confident.

Looking at the state of "Relieved!" above Kalibo's head, Sean smiled.

"If something happens in the disaster area, you can come and tell me, and I'll go and rest first. ”

"Yes, sir. You're tired of the day, too!"

After saying that, Sean walked up to the upper floor of the dark attic alone with a candle, and this place was originally guarded by someone underneath, but everyone in the family was called out, so it seemed very quiet today and there was no one to light a candle.

I walked all the way back to the room through the crack in the door, and suddenly found that there was light inside!

Open the door.

Lucille, who was half-pounced on the table, raised her head, her expression slightly sleepy.

"Why are you only back now?"

Sean didn't expect the other party to go directly to his room and look at the window...... The raven was right there.

I also saw the ability of this pet in today's battle, and it turns out that this guy also has magic power!

"Why did you come so early......"

"Didn't you call me over?" asked Lucille.

At night, her whole person became different, the wide thick wool coat was indeed tight leather, her long silver hair curled up to her shoulders, her fair face and big eyes were not alone during the day!

As for the lips~ press?

Sean suddenly noticed that the other party's lips looked particularly bright red under the candlelight, and they were much brighter than before anyway.

This is...... Have you dressed up today?

"What, you called me here just to see me?!"

If it was Lucille on weekdays, he would probably stand up proudly when he said this, but today he was very unenergetic, and Sean found that the other party had been in a state of [sleepy!].

It seems that the state of the day is not good.

I don't know if it's a person who is bored in the room until he gets sleepy, but Lucille before won't be sleepy even if he stays up late with him!

That's when Sean noticed the other party's mana...... It's just back to 2000, exactly half.

That's probably why, although I've only used one magic, I'm still feeling groggy now.

It turns out that the wizard's magician recovery is so slow.

"I called you here to ask you something!" "Since you're tired, let's finish and leave early."

"About Bahel?"

"And you...... I thought about it later, there must be a special reason why my town can attract you great wizards to come from far and wide, right? It has something to do with the thing you asked me to look for earlier?" Sean didn't sit face-to-face with Lucille, but sat on the bed alone.

The two looked at each other across the carpet in the room......

"Although we said that I wouldn't ask you about it beforehand, but now it's different, my town has suffered this kind of disaster, and if I don't ask clearly, I don't know what else will happen next, what is that thing? Who else said it would be with me?"

I remember Lucille had said it was a magic item, but now I think it's much more than that.

Lucille let out a long sigh of relief.

"I know you're asking this, but it was first introduced among wizards...... I don't know who said it was possible to be in the south, so many people kept looking for it in the south, and Telemien was just one of the possible locations, and when I came, I happened to meet Kerry and they were coming, so I disguised myself as an archaeological team and went all the way. Lucille said.

Sean still has doubts, though.

"You could have come alone, like Bahel, so why disguise yourself as an archaeological team, what the hell are you hiding?"

Looking at the state above the other party's head suddenly disappeared, it seemed that she had energy.

"You're smart! ”

"Heh~ That's true. But I don't want to hear you praise me right now!"

Now that the other party's favorability with oneself has become friendly, the previous few words of ridicule between each other will not cause any emotional changes.

"I said before that wizards are also divided into very good factions, I don't like to be discovered by other people when I act, so I need to disguise!"

It's really convenient to disguise yourself on the road, it's not easy to be disturbed and not to be discovered, and if Lucille's true face is really what she looks like in front of her, it's probably the focus of attention wherever she goes, and it's more troublesome to travel that way.

"Okay, so what are you looking for?"

Sean didn't ask anything further about Lucille to avoid offending the other person, so he only asked what he wanted to know.

"The legacy of the Caine Witch. Lucille replied decisively.

"Caine?"

Sounds like a person's name.

"Well, Caine Witch! Legend has it that a super wizard who has solved the mystery of life and death and discovered the truth of the world. ”
