Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound - Chapter 221

time

between him and me that day is like running water, so it flows by so easily even if we don’t hold on to it.

That’s why the flow feels even faster to those who can’t get anything out of it.

-Cathedral of the Rue Morgue-

Always immersed in the shadows, this place takes the form of a tall tower.

Jagged towers under a gloomy sky where crows flew in flocks.

And one person was sitting on the seat of the deputy at the top of the table.

A tall stature with a skinny body. A shady aura radiating from behind.

A cold-looking man with dark red hair and dark red eyes is looking down.

Morgue Snake.

He is in charge of the dark hall of Morgue, the head of the magical family, and is the third-ranked being in the family.

He is one of the most influential people who rule the House of Morgue, following the head of the house, Morgue L’Espane, and the representative of the Mighty Party, Morgue Adolph.

However, unlike the friendship between Lespane and Adolf, who are siblings, Snake, who is a little far away, is different from them.

And Darkdang also gives the impression that he is somehow distant from the family to match the nature of Snake.

well anyway Darkdang hides in the shadows and conducts secret research and experiments, and the results made in that way become Morgue’s spear and shield, so Snake, who commands everything in Darkness, was obviously indispensable to the Morgue family.

“…”

Such a snake was looking down at the festival with a frown now.

Standing there was a girl looking up this way with a clear face.

Morgue Camus. He was a member of the House of Commons and the future owner of the House of Morgue.

Snake opened his mouth in a low voice.

“… Sogaju, belonging to Myeongdang, what are you doing here?”

There is little reason for Morgue, who belongs to the Myeongdang, to visit the dark hall.

Except for the one time tech exchange every quarter.

Since even that was done only among practitioners with authority, Camus, who had just turned 17, had no reason to come here.

but.

“The Myeongdang has withdrawn.”

At Kamyu’s words, Snake’s eyes widened slightly.

And at the words that followed, his eyebrows moved.

“I want to enter the dark hall.”

bombshell. Changing party affiliation is not an ordinary thing.

Even more so when it comes to the status of Sogaju, who will be responsible for the future of the Morgue family.

Snake was speechless for a while with a dazed expression on his face.

And it was only after a long time had passed that he finally parted his lips.

“…Why?”

“I’m tired of fussing.”

Camus answered right away, and Snake was silent again.

Snake also knew from reports that Kamyu had searched the seas of Red Mountain and Black Mountain without missing a day for the past few years to find Bikir.

That’s why I know very well that Camus has not only failed to achieve its goal in the past few years, but has not even had a small harvest.

“……I guess I couldn’t find it after all.”

“yes.”

Camus nodded his head coolly and admitted his failure.

After frantically searching the sea for the past hour, Bikir’s remains were never found.

A relationship at the age of 8. And a reunion at the age of 15.

The few days spent in the red awl castle were the happiest times in Camu’s life.

Would it be the same if you got married and had a honeymoon? At that time, Camus had no doubt that the happiness would last forever.

But it’s broken. Because of the hateful natives of the jungle! It’s because of the monster that won’t be cool even if you tear it to pieces!

Camus gritted his teeth and searched the sea.

And the more I fell behind, the more I had to admit it.

Bikir is no more. dead. Not even a bone was extracted.

Is that why? Camus turned black.

“I want to revive him by learning black magic.”

“…I couldn’t even find the body, so how?”

“His soul must still be wandering in the Nine Heavens. It may have already turned into a specter. Anyway, I plan to bring it back and bring it back to life. It’s better if I find the remains later.”

At that, Snake put his hand on his forehead.

“Sogaju. Isn’t it too easy for you to change your party registration? To come out of the mundane place, enter the dark hall, and then walk the path of the black mage. What this means…

” It means that I will give up all my authority and live in the shadows for the rest of my life.”

Camu cuts off Snake’s words like a knife.

Snake was speechless and half-opened his mouth.

He doesn’t change his expression as much as his cousin Morgue Banshee, who is a professor at the Colosseo Academy far away, but this time he seems really surprised.

Eventually, Snake groaned and corrected his sitting position.

“…… What the hell are you expecting from me in the dark, Sogaju?”

“As I said before, there are people who want to learn black magic and revive them.”

“At most, it just animates the ghost or the corpse.”

“I know there is a way to make the spirituality of life dwell there.”

“!”

Snake’s expression flinched once again.

The black magic that Camus refers to is a ‘perfect resuscitation technique’ that revives the dead in an almost perfect state.

Of course, it is an outside magic that is strictly forbidden in both the Morgue family and the Empire.

“…That magic is not only difficult to learn, but the success rate is extremely slim. And even if you succeed in reviving the subject by conceding 10,000 times, there is a high possibility that it will be corrupted or go berserk after that.”

“The spirit of the one I’m trying to save is strong. Once you’ve succeeded, you don’t have to worry. As long as you can succeed.”

Camu’s faith was firm and firm.

Seeing her eyes, Snake hesitated for a moment.

After thinking about it for a long time, he immediately cut it off.

“Reject me.”

Afterwards, black folding screens spread out and cover the gap between Snake and Camus.

obvious congratulations.

But Camus did not go out. Instead, he opened his mouth without moving a single step.

“Marquis Snake. I know you love my mother.”

In an instant, the folding screens that had been unfolding stopped abruptly.

Camus continued talking to Snake on the other side of the folding screen.

“Love between relatives is also an affair. You hid in the shadows of Morgue, saying you had no face in the sky. Even now, because of your genius talent, you became the head of the dark house by force, you still love the family head. .”

No answer came.

but.

…drip!

All the black folding screens that were blocking the view were just removed.

Snake with a stiff expression came down from the seat of the deputy and approached Camus.

“Did Adolf say that I was a dirty person? Did he go and make fun of me with such words?”

But Camus was not at all taken aback.

“My mother and uncle didn’t tell me that. I only knew about it from rumors floating around among the elders.”

“Nonsense. The elders must have all died of old age already?”

“Death’s will. Even the dead talk a lot.”

Eventually, Camus raised Mana.

Then, a black aura seemed to form behind her, and the souls of old people with white beards began to float around.

It was the ghost of the elders.

Snake asked in surprise when he saw Kamyu, who had already learned how to use black magic.

“What is this black magic!? Who taught Sogaju!?”

“I was self-taught.”

“…what what?”

Snake couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

You learned black magic on your own? Does that sound possible?

It is no exaggeration to say that he pioneered a new realm by himself. A truly phenomenal talent, if true.

“…I see. It’s true that he’s a talent that only appears once in a hundred years.”

Snake said while stroking his chin.

But that didn’t change his attitude.

“But that has nothing to do with it. I can’t allow Sogaju to enter the dark house.”

“Is it because you don’t want to offend your mother? Because you still love her?”

At Camu’s question, Snake experienced being speechless for a moment.

And Camu’s behavior that followed was even more embarrassing.

She unbuttoned her clothes and walked forward.

Soon all the clothes fell to the floor and Camus was naked, not wearing a single thread.

Camus said to Snake.

“I look exactly like my mother’s childhood. Would the story be a little different if I let you intoxicate my body?”

She came right in front of Snake.

A strong and passionate desire to reach the goal by any means was making Kamu’s eyes shine brightly.

And Snake’s pupils shake when he sees those eyes.

“……Let’s get dressed.”

“…”

“Put on your clothes, Sogaju.”

Snake turned his head and gestured.

…don’t worry!

The clothes seemed to rise like snakes, and then wrapped around Camu’s whole body.

In front of Camu, who suddenly became dressed in a neat outfit.

“Never insult my feelings for her again.”

The Marquis of Morgue Snake was shaking his head.

Kamyu, who had been silently staring at Snake for a while.

Soon, her mouth opened.

“Thank you very much, Master.”
