Lesson 16: Goodbye
Coming back to the city of Alistair, he was greeted with a smile by knights and adventurers who were wary of demons.
They were always waiting at the South Gate to be able to deal with any time the demons attacked. But all I could see was a carriage running at a slow speed. When one of the preceding knights explained the situation, the story instantly spread to the whole city, wrapped in joy.
As the story spread throughout the city, it didn't become more noticeable than I needed thanks to the fact that the boss who led the herd struggled to win the giant pit trap originally built by the labyrinth manipulation.
Rumors converged in such a direction with nature because it wasn't exactly the same number that I thought I could fight and win directly from the front by myself.
"Then we will take them"
"Please"
In such a boiling of joy, the appearance of the village chiefs who were restrained with ropes with their faces bent down was very noticeable and pitiful from me knowing the circumstances.
The knights, including my brother, take me to the Lords' Hall.
It was just a little refreshing to see what it looked like.
Then Mr. Routie also decided to go to the Adventurers Guild to report, so he breaks up when he enters the city.
When I went home for the first time in a long time, my mother and two sisters began to twitch.
I know why they're twitching. In the carriage, I couldn't ask because there were other people, but I guess I can't help but want to hear that it's going to be just us.
"Both of you, I wonder if you'll wait until I explain why I could use that power when your brother gets back."
"Okay."
Perhaps my brother would like to hear it too, so you should talk to him.
When I waited till night, my brother finally came home.
We don't start talking right away, the four of us have dinner my mother cooked for us, get a little neat and calm before we start talking.
"First of all, that's why I had the power to sweep away all that demon I was, but remember I didn't come back from the labyrinth the first day I became an adventurer?
"Absolutely. Mother and Chris are so disturbed that they pushed us to the Adventurer Alliance."
"Actually, that's when... I became a Labyrinth Master."
"What?"
I don't know why, but my brother hardened up.
Well, the person I'm talking to, too, suddenly becomes a labyrinth lord. I doubt their sanity when I tell them what to do.
But I can't go on without you believing this.
"Evidence over theory. This is our current status."
I put the status card on the table to show it to the three of us.
Name: Mars
Age: 15
Occupation: Labyrinth Lord (Dungeon Master) Adventurer
Gender: Male
Level: 114
Health: 12300
Muscle Strength: 14000
Jun Min: 13300
Magic: 16500
Skills: Labyrinth Manipulation Labyrinth Adaptive Labyrinth Creation
Suitability Magic: Labyrinth Magic Labyrinth Tune Soil
Exactly, was the crusade of 1000 demons overdone, and at some point the level was up.
Ma, I was just surprised to see a status that was over 10,000 from three people who didn't know the status of just becoming a labyrinth lord. In addition, there is a line of skills and magic that you have never seen or heard of, as well as status values.
"Is this for real?
"Of course. I'm not even faking it"
"Impersonation?"
Oh, do I have to explain that too?
"Usually, we're magically showing numbers that have their status suppressed so that people don't have to see it."
At first, I thought it would be fine to reduce 10,000, but the amount of increase in magic since I became a labyrinth lord becomes more and more unusual.
"This is the level of heroism that comes out of numbers, myths and legends."
Really? You didn't know that because you were trying not to think in so much detail about your status.
"Anyway, being a labyrinth lord has given me an unusually high status, and as a result, I've also acquired skills and magic that only labyrinth lords can use, so I can do what I showed you this morning."
"Really..."
"Now you know why I've been able to defeat the demon."
All three convinced me with a subtle look on their faces.
I showed you my powers and let you know I became a labyrinth lord because I have something I have to give to the three of you.
"Labyrinth Magic: Toolbox (Item Box)"
Appear a toolbox at your feet.
"This is one of the magic that only a labyrinth can use."
"You even took out Morningstar in the village, you even kept it at home."
My brother was pulling his cheeks into the storage capacity of the toolbox.
You probably think you can store it infinitely, but the toolbox will have a larger storage capacity and a larger size that can be stored in proportion to the maximum amount of magic power of the labyrinth lord. Most of all, I can easily get in and out of the house right now.
If you use magic in the same procedure as a storage ring, the chair will be in my hand within a moment.
"That chair..."
I noticed the chair my mother was removed from.
It was a chair used in a house that was in the village, and the whole family used the same chair, but if they were used to knowing if it would make a difference depending on who used it, whose chair it was.
"Yes, that's the chair my father used."
Place the chair my father used behind the table that was my father's designated seat.
Place a purple glowing sphere on top of it - the jewel of the dead soul.
"I've just got a little time to say goodbye, so finish saying hello"
Flush magic to activate the Dead Soul Jewel.
Then the magic that was sealed in the jewels of the dead soul flows out and takes the form of a man.
The magic in the shape of a person quickly smiles as he sits in the way he is used to the chair his father used to and captures in his sight the appearance of his mother and sister watching in tears.
"Long time no see."
My father in a chair raises one hand in his usual familiar appearance.
"Is this...?
"The Jewel of Dead Souls - the highest level of magic tool (magic item) that absorbs the magic left over from a corpse and reproduces not only the figure of the dead, but even his personality and memory. It has a time limit and becomes disposable, but only rarely has origami effect."
'That seems to be the case. I'm only a reproduction of what you know of Chris, but I'd like to talk to you one last time on his behalf. "
It's the same as usual, I wonder if it might be him or her by accident in the same way as he or she did in life.
But the real father is a corpse, stored in a toolbox. My father in front of me is undoubtedly a reproduced being.
"You..."
"I promised you I'd take you to the end, and I did something I'm sorry I left one behind."
"That's not..."
'Besides, I'm going to have a hard time with you. Watch the kids grow up nicely before you come to me. At least don't come to me until Chris goes to his wife. "
"Okay."
With the words of my father, my mother became resolute.
"Chris."
"Yes. Father"
'You are a daughter I could never think of as my daughter. I don't know what you're going to do with the future... think slowly from now on, you should go through your life'
"At least I'd like to go to my daughter-in-law and show her my grandson before reassuring your mother"
"I knew you were a daughter."
My father smiles at the word of my sister, and so does my sister.
He's really dead, isn't he?
"Oh."
Talking like this really makes me feel alive.
I can recognize it as a solid fake to me using the jewels of a dead soul, but I guess it really makes my brother feel like he's talking to a living father.
"What am I supposed to do?
'You've grown up well enough to get a job. I'd be happy if you served Count Alistair well and let my wife live in peace. "
"What the hell, it"
'Just, if you can just let me ask you one favor, protect the family I couldn't protect as my eldest son. Mars in particular will be in a lot of trouble from now on'
"I know."
My brother ended up in tears, turning his back so he wouldn't be seen in his face.
"It's Mars at the end."
"Let me ask you one question."
"What?"
It was all like a meeting, but I could talk a lot to my father who was supposed to be dead. Enough already.
"Dad should have been pretty strong. How could you keep on being a soldier in that village?
If you have the strength of a father, if you have solid experience from a young age, if you are an adventurer, it's not surprising that you have succeeded in being about a B-rank adventurer.
'Nothing in particular seems to be the reason. It was a village with nothing, but my ancestors cut it open, so I became desperately stronger because I wanted to protect it too. As the younger people of my generation left the village, I was the only one who kept staying in the village, and my mother, who was in the neighbouring village, stumbled upon me, and when I got married, I even made it to my family, so I didn't think about leaving at some point. That's all. "
I guess that's all that means you liked that village.
"So what I did was bad?
'That's not true. The most important thing for me is the village where my family lives. If you don't like that village and want to do something, I won't deny it. "
When I said that and smiled, my father's contour began to blur.
"Oh? Apparently it's time."
I was pretty unscrupulous.
My father would have kept sending my out-of-the-way level of magic where it was supposed to disappear in a certain amount of time after I used it.
'It was quite a pleasant life. You guys may be having a rough time, but I'm gonna wait for you to make me laugh when you get to me.'
Huh. My father disappears.
At that moment, my mother cried out because she couldn't stand it anymore.
I cry more than I did when I found my father's body.
This is how I talked to my father, and I guess my grief grew stronger at once just because I saw the last moment in front of me.
Our family was able to find out where my father really was.
