Chapter 17: Investigate(1)

Previously, when Desmond was one year old, he commanded the system to track abnormal energy locations again that suddenly disappeared when he was growing up. The system found that unnatural Energy is still underground, but now that is underneath his house.

Desmond is shocked; he thinks there will be somewhere in the meadow, never in his mind, this will be under his house. Immediately he wants to check the location, but trouble always comes; someone will bother him like Alice, who was always looking after him; if not Alice, then her mother was the guardian. This is normal for a baby with one-year-old needs to be watched, but Desmond, who has a young man's soul, was irritated.

Desmond began to become bored because there were no more exciting incidents like his first days of reincarnation. Every day he only learned to speak the language of the saint world and played with his sister.

But suddenly, he feels he wants to scan the entire area of the courtyard. And his feeling is right; he accidentally found that some people often stalked his house.

Sneakily, he begins to find out these people's identity from the sheets of paper that his mother often brings home after work, which is right in his room closet, and listening to every conversation both of his parents, but that all to no avail.

After rechecking some documents, he became frustrated, but suddenly, he heard his parents' conversation usually; he heard that those people are the grandmaster's subordinate.

This fact made his effort in vain. He becomes more frustrated because there was nothing he could do in this baby form, only because his will to protect himself in the future makes him keep going. He demands his father for a wooden sword by holding his father's sword with his little hand. Bastian, who saw this, understood his son's wish; when Bastian was young, he also did the same to his father.

There was a debate between Bastian and Leona because of Desmond's wish. But Desmond had a powerful trick, namely by crying while holding his father's sword. His mother, who could not bear to see this, had to agree. Even though Desmond was only one year old, he could stand up; he just couldn't naturally speak. Desmond was then taught how to swing a sword, leg position, body position, and wield a sword properly.

After a few years, Desmond's parents become busy at work. They rarely even come home; this situation makes Alice, usually happy, become sad and lonely. Alice, who usually plays with her father, uses her spare time to go shopping in the market with her servant and bodyguards until afternoon; she will often play a game with Desmond in the night. In contrast, Desmond is always busy practicing from the morning till night.

After a few years of practicing under his father's guide, Desmond inherited swordsman skills from his father; he also got some spells from his mother. Both Desmond's parents are proud of him; They know only a few children can master the skill early; They seem to notice that Desmond's behaviors are more mature than the average child, but they choose to believe that their child is an inborn genius.

That was another reason for Desmond's parents to leave him and his sister. They believed in Desmond's ability and Desmond's decision to protect himself and his elder sister, and they also believed in the person hired by grandmaster Weston. Not only Desmond, but his mother also taught Alice, but she didn't take it too seriously, making the skill dull and making Leona feels disappointed in her.

It's time for Desmond to check the abnormal energy underneath his house in a situation like this.

-Present Time-

After finishing practicing, Desmond, who usually rests in the garden to meditate, does not immediately do activities like before; he enters the house from the back kitchen door and calls a servant.

The servant close to the dining room came directly, "Did you call me, young master?"

"Make me a meal for tonight and put it on the dining table.

"And also, if Alice comes back, tell her I'm in closed meditation."

The servant who heard this was confused but didn't dare to ask. "Yes, young mast-"

Before the servant answered, Desmond, cut him off. "I know you feel confused. Simply tell Alice not to come into my room, or I won't play with her again."

"Yes, young master!"

After the servant left, Desmond went into his room. He opened his wardrobe and pulled a string; a hidden space behind his cloth revealed that a real sword can be seen inside the space. This is the sword that his father had given him when he was one year old; after his father gave him, he hides his sword inside the wardrobe.

He is just being cautious; who knows when his servant suddenly becomes a traitor for the sake of money offered by some people and kills both his parents with him and his sister as a hostage.

Then he took the sword and then hung to his waist.

"Alright, now is the time to try the spell that I've been waiting for.

"Ups, before that. System checks whether this spell is suitable for me who hasn't reached the wizard class."

[System Conclusion: This spell only uses 0.010 / second energy; this is suitable for people who haven't yet reached a wizard and have rare traits. If someone other than the wizard uses this spell or a non-wizard with a lower than rare trait, they will quickly run out of energy.]

"Looks like I can only use this spell for 7 minutes before running out of energy.

"This is not possible to reach the location.

"Hmm ... if I add a body enchantment, maybe I can reach faster."

After several minutes, Desmond waited until his house's atmosphere sounded quiet, and the servant was busy working on their job. He opens his door room and chants a spell.

"Custom Spell: Light Distortion.

"Swordsman Skill: Body Enhancement."

Desmond's skin in the legs seemed to harden before slowly all of Desmond's body started to become dim and become invisible.

Desmond rushed to the back of his house through the back door of the kitchen.

Once he was in the garden, he looked around and found a bush; he shifted the bush and spotted a door that looked like it led to the basement; he opened the door and entered.

Inside, he saw a long hallway with candles hanging from each wall.

Desmond, who had just arrived at the front of the hallway, was bending over with a rough breath. His body slowly becomes visible again."This room is quite far ."

Desmond then took a breath and glanced back at the door. "Ah, the door."

Desmond then returned the bush to the original position before closing the door tightly.
