Chapter 157

When I inherited all of Belinda’s memories.

Contrary to Chaser’s speculation, I learned that she had never touched any suspicious objects related to dark magic.

Nevertheless, dark magic struck Belinda like a bolt from the blue.

I had been conducting my own investigation with Chaser all along to find out the reason.

“The Mage Republic stores many top-secret documents. For instance, lists of powerful figures who are known to be dark mages but are too dangerous to touch.”

Though it has now disappeared, Chaser narrowed down the range of suspects based on the traces of dark magic that once remained in me.

First, it would be a dark mage who was active 600 to 700 years ago.

Second, judging by the high-level magic cast, it was likely someone who was originally a mage before becoming obsessed with dark magic, and would be at least a 6th-tier mage or higher.

The final third condition.

“If Master didn’t touch any suspicious objects, then she must have met certain conditions that made her a target of dark magic. And in this case, since the magic’s range of application is extensive, it would require a tremendous price.”

We would look into whether there were any incidents where unusually many people went missing or died, and find out who was behind them.

“When we combine all of this, there’s only one person who comes up as a suspect.”

When Chaser flicked his index finger, a book that had been tucked away on a bookshelf on one wall floated over and settled in his hand.

“You must not tell anyone about this. Especially since Master has connections to the royal court, you must be even more careful.”

Soon, Chaser opened to the very last page of the book in his hand.

Inside was a horrific illustration of an execution platform with severed human heads piled up like a mountain.

Chaser’s elegantly shaped finger pointed to an old, shabby man drawn on one side of the illustration.

“People believe that the first king of this kingdom and hero of the continent went mad in his later years and ruled tyrannically, but that’s not the truth.”

I couldn’t take my eyes off the old man in the illustration.

The great king who founded the Jenos Kingdom.

Skilled in both magic and swordsmanship, blessed by the gods with divine power, a hero of humanity.

But in his later years, a mad tyrant who killed half the kingdom’s people.

“Chaser, what you’re saying now is…”

Chaser nodded heavily.

“Based on various evidence, the one who cast dark magic on Master is the First King.”
