Chapter 267: Magical Expo (1)
Deep inside the Imperial Palace library, I was organizing records about an old mansion.
Cursed Old Mansion
◆ A cradle of souls, possessing an intellect comparable to that of a human. It appears to offer sanctuary to spirits weighed down by unresolved regrets. Though its ultimate purpose remains unknown, it warrants continued observation for both research and possible application...
Just two lines of explanation were given. Everything after that was filled with magic circles and spells—magical interpretations and dismantling that broke down the mana concentration and phenomena inside the old mansion.
Any competent mage would understand well enough, I thought.
“Librarian, see that this is archived as well,” I said.
“Yes, Professor,” Librarian Lexil replied, shelving my recorded document among the library’s shelves with a smile. “... I am glad that the trouble passed as it did.”
“You mean the old mansion?”
“Yes, Professor.”
Behind the Imperial Palace, the old mansion still stood, and with it, the souls of Iggyris and Decalane continued to remain there.
“It may be too soon to be glad. The cradle of souls is a dangerous place, and the souls of the dead were never meant to belong with the living.”
