Ghost(6)

As the lilies in front of him and the scent of lilies floating in the air faded, the Iliad opened his mouth.

“Now that this kid’s story is over, it’s my turn.”

His slightly short beard and his white hair peeking through the dark hair caught my eye.

On the surface, it looks like a normal person standing in the middle of a middle-aged or elderly person.

Rebecca and I know that there is a monster that has lived for hundreds of years on the surface, so I can’t help but be nervous.

“Why are you remaining in a ghost state? Maybe deflecting divine power or using physical power… ?”

“Ask one by one. First of all, let me explain about the physical or divine power, the divine power is what this child bounced off of.”

As the Iliad said so, he stroked Lily’s head.

Unlike us, who can’t be touched, the Iliad seems to be able to touch Lily, perhaps because it’s the same soul.

“You mean Lily?”

“Yeah, because of his unique constitution, he rejected divine power, and that constitution didn’t disappear even when he became a soul.”

The Iliad fiddled with his beard, arguing that research was still lacking.

Hearing that, Rebecca’s eyes widened.

Her eyes turn to me.

I pondered for a moment and opened my mouth.

“Iliad.”

“Well?”

“Can you tell me more about that peculiar constitution?”

That peculiar constitution of rejecting the divine power, because it was the constitution I also had.

I had a feeling that I might.

Lily, like me, was also dead. They even deny the divine power there.

If only I had a magical energy like mine, and I would have died because of it.

And if the Iliad in front of me had researched Lily’s constitution.

If so, maybe I can figure out a way to heal my body as well.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything.”

But, as if not to give him even the slightest bit of hope, the Iliad shook his head.

“It’s been a while since I checked this child’s constitution, and it’s hard to recognize anything because he’s already dead.”

“Then there is no way to find out at all?”

“Um, it must be so. But why are you so interested in this child’s constitution?”

He shut his mouth at the Iliad’s question. Do many people need to know that my body also rejects the divine power?

After thinking for a while, I made a decision.

“I have a constitution similar to Lily.”

“then…?”

“Yes, my body rejects the divine power.”

This is because of drinking.

I gave the Iliad the story of death and illness, leaving out all the stories about Magi.

Hearing my story, the Iliad nodded.

“You… were you dead?”

The positive response came from Rebecca. She opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at me.

didn’t i say

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever told everyone that it’s a deadline.

You probably think of me as a very ill person.

I nodded.

“How many days… do you have left?”

She carefully asked the rest of my life. I frowned slightly. That wouldn’t be a question to ask.

Well, let’s just skip this one time.

I flicked my fingers to check the remaining lifespan.

[??Work]

After being able to control the magic, the lifespan has changed like that.

I thought I was going to die because of Magi, but what convinced me was the change in my lifespan.

If I don’t die because of drinking, my life doesn’t need to look like that.

I stared at the life span covered in question marks for a moment before muttering to Rebecca.

“I don’t know either.”

“ah….”

Upon hearing my answer, Rebecca bit her lips. If you look there, you will bleed. She didn’t seem to mind the bleeding on her lips.

The Iliad, who was watching the scene, asked Rebecca.

“Come to think of it, it seems that the saint of this generation has come to visit me. Why do you think you came?”

“Ah… Originally, I wanted to ask you something.”

Rebecca’s eyes stayed on me and then turned toward the Iliad.

“Now that something more important has come up, I think it’ll be fine.”

“Hmm, that’s right.”

I tilted my head. Archmage Iliad, what could be more important than being able to get an answer from that sage who possessed the highest level?

Rebecca bowed her head to the Iliad, stroked Lily’s head, and left.

Her hair was slowly turning brown.

“Do you need to go that fast?”

“Did you say Deron?”

The Iliad was looking at me with a pathetic expression.

“Is it okay if I ask you just one thing?”

“which?”

“Maybe… how many women are there around you?”

Not knowing why the Iliad was asking this, I tilted my head.

How many women are there around me?

Probably because the original is a harem, but because it’s a no-man movie, there are more women than men.

I don’t know exactly how many women there are.

“I don’t know either.”

“I don’t know…”

The Iliad stroked his beard and pulled Lily’s body slightly.

Lily’s eyes widened in surprise as she suddenly pulled back and looked at the Iliad.

“Why are you pulling me, Grandpa?”

“You shouldn’t be next to a guy like that. It’s dirty.”

“…? Why is it dirty when you’re by my side…”

“Not knowing that is a problem in itself. You need to get your relationship back a little bit normal.”

How’s my relationship with my girlfriend?

He tilted his head, but the wise man in front of him never gave an answer.

I was just pulling Lily’s body so she couldn’t touch me.

**

Deron left after asking a few more questions.

Where he left, two ghosts, soon to lose their power, float in the air.

Iliad asked.

“Are you satisfied now?”

“yes.”

Lily nodded her head.

It was entirely with the help of the Iliad that a ghost that could not normally appear in front of a living person appeared.

The Archmage who had attached himself to the academy he had built granted Lily’s request.

“Then may I ask you why? Why did you ask for this?”

“……”

Lily was silent. Her gaze turned toward Deron, who had left.

Lily faced the Iliad at the moment when the secret magic and the blood of Deron were intertwined, and the moment she descended from the spirit body for a while.

The majestic archmage gave Lily a kind smile, declaring that a tragic fate had prevented her from enjoying the life she was supposed to have, so she would grant one favor.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lily said she wanted to meet the person her father had entrusted with death.

“I was curious. Who the heck is a disciple so proud that his father entrusted him with death?”

“Have you heard directly from your father about being proud?”

“yes.”

A miraculous moment when secret magic and blood were mixed and descended.

Lily faced her father as she went through life and death.

Professor Arcdin.

He was approaching death with a satisfied smile.

Lily had not seen her father make such an expression in a very long time, so she wanted to meet Deron once.

“So, how about meeting him in real life?”

“You should be proud of your father.”

Lily thought of Deron. No, to be precise, he confirmed the aura hidden in his body.

The Iliad probably didn’t notice. This is the kind of energy that only people with the same constitution can recognize.

‘He was even taller than me.’

What kind of energy it was, even Lily was not clear.

However, intuitively, Lily could be slow. The fact that Deron had much more energy than what was embedded in his heart.

In the sense that he has such an energy and is living a casual life.

Lily respected him.

“I don’t really like him.”

The Iliad licked his tongue. His face looked unfamiliar.

“He’s such a complicated relationship with women. He must have stretched his legs so much that he didn’t even know how many women were around him.”

The Iliad looked up at the sky. The clouds clear and the moonlight shines. And the stars are shining next to it.

His eyes rested on a star that was falling toward the earth among the many stars.

“There was one such person among my former colleagues. A foreign and unusual woman. A magical swordsman who attracts people’s attention and exudes a charm that everyone knows but does not know about herself.”

“Are you talking about Lennock?”

“Yeah, you know?”

“Your grandfather told me a few times.”

“Is that so?”

The Iliad chuckled as he tilted his head.

The archmage’s magic succeeded in binding the soul to the academy for hundreds of years, but it couldn’t even stop the occasional senescence.

In the end, it would be proof that the Archmage is also a human being.

And it was the same with Lennock.

“She died for the future. She built the dungeon and made arrangements for her successor. She devoted her life to making it.”

“He was a good person.”

“It was a bad bitch. There were four men by her side.”

The Iliad did not dare say that he was one of the four.

All four of Lennock’s side were people who could not be caught no matter where they went.

Swordsman, Archmage, Prince, Elf Prince.

Everyone at Lennock’s side left their mark in the history books in their own way.

The Iliad lived as a soul for hundreds of years, even in the worn out memories.

He remembered as much as Lennock’s face.

“I can feel Lennock’s energy in that child. He’s probably one of her chosen heirs.”

“And he’s also a character that my grandfather is wary of.”

“I’m doing this because I’m afraid I’m going to be a flirt like Lennock. She ended up leaving without choosing one of the four.”

The Iliad stroked his beard once. His body was gradually becoming transparent.

His magic seemed to be working out now.

Lily raised her hand.

A shooting star was approaching through the transparent hand.

“Now we’ll have to stay together for a while.”

“Isn’t that better than being alone?”

“Chuckle, yes. It’s definitely better.”

The Iliad burst into laughter as she looked at Lily’s bashful smile.

Then the two held hands. I don’t care about the hands that are becoming transparent.

Soon, a red sphere appeared over the horizon.

On the bench placed near the Ministry of Magic, a faint scent of lily remained, but it was quickly swept away by the autumn wind.

Probably, everyone but two would not know that Lily and the Archmage were hanging out here.
