Chapter 576: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family

386. Eternal Curse (2)

It wasn’t the kind of story you couldn’t listen to without crying.

On the contrary, if someone who didn’t know Professor Bruno heard this, he would be furious and would have nothing to say.

“To sum it up, it seems that the professor and his lover, Riel, agreed to put a curse on each other for eternal love.”

“Yes. The first request was… …Riel’s will, but in the end, I was the one casting the curse. Of course, we did it together.”

The curse of eternal love.

Did you believe that love would last forever, or did you hope that love would last forever?

It was probably both, but the results were quite dire.

The person who promised eternal love has become a soul that cannot leave this person’s side even after death because of the curse.

The dangers of curses.

Professor Bruno, who had been emphasizing the danger for two hours, ended up being the one who experienced the danger firsthand.

“Riel died in an accident five years after being cursed. It was a carriage accident. A drunken coachman hit Riel… … Riel died at the scene before the priests could arrive.”

Although he was calm, there was a trembling in his voice.

“That’s how it came to be. Because of that curse, Riel has to love me forever, and so she can’t leave my side to love me. I’ve been trying every possible way to break that curse.”

One question arose.

“If you’re the caster of a curse, wouldn’t you be able to lift the curse?”

“As I said before, the word ‘eternal’ is very dangerous. The same goes for curses. When ‘eternal’ is added in front of a spell, it exerts a linguistic power so strong that even the caster cannot do anything about it.”

A verbal command.

The power and authority of words.

The same applies to curses, and eternal love becomes an eternal curse.

“If it was something that the caster could easily solve in the first place, there would be no need to mention the danger of the word ‘eternity’.”

“So you’ve been looking for a way for five years?”

“Yes. Riel’s suffering… I can’t watch it any longer.”

Professor Bruno looks back with a bitter expression.

To be honest, I still don’t know much about the feeling of love. I’ve never truly loved anyone except for my family.

However, I think I understand Professor Bruno’s intentions as he went to such lengths to love one person forever.

And what kind of pain that love is causing this person now.

“I want to relieve that pain. That’s why I need your help, Dane.”

“If I go to that temple, is there a chance that it will be resolved?”

“Maybe. I’m not sure. But if it’s Sionif’s knowledge, there might definitely be a solution. Maybe we can find out Sionif’s whereabouts.”

Zionif is a title passed down from generation to generation to those who have mastered curses.

If so, then Sionif is either a warlock or is related to a warlock.

That temple is where the black magicians were massacred.

“But I didn’t know that Dane would also look for Sionif. Did he happen to attend my lecture… …”

“Yes, that’s right. To learn about the curse and find clues about Sionif.”

“… … This is really strange.”

Professor Bruno sighed.

“I feel so embarrassed as a professor. I have to ask you to tell me a story I never wanted to tell.”

I looked at Professor Bruno for a moment and then asked.

“Will the soul of the person named Riel be liberated the moment the curse is lifted?”

“Yes, that’s right. There was also the option of the platform, but it would require someone to be sacrificed. Also, a soul that takes over someone’s body will eventually collapse.”

Ultimately, it means that there is no way to lift the curse and free the soul.

Interests are aligned.

I’m looking for Zionif.

Professor Bruno goes to find the knowledge of Sionif.

Perhaps Professor Bruno should also go to Sionif himself and find a way to lift the curse.

Should we say that it is slightly better than the case of Poenes, who was cursed directly by Sionip?

“If that happens, I can hand over my professorship to the Dane student. Of course, the Academy won’t allow it, and the Dane student won’t want it, but it’s really that desperate.”

It’s an unconditional requirement.

If I accept, I think I’ll have to go to graduate school.

“Please help me, I will give everything I have and everything I can get even if I don’t have it right now to the Dane student.”

The conclusion was already there.

Professor Bruno’s and my goals are somewhat aligned.

So there is no reason to refuse.

“Yes, that’s right.”

So we decided to take another, unexpected adventure.

* * *

When we returned to the club grounds, construction was in full swing.

It seemed to be about half-built now, but the workers were constantly moving top-quality materials.

“Isn’t this better than the Dante-Terre Hall?”

“That’s right, teachers. I don’t know if it’s possible to build something with such ridiculous materials.”

“You have a lot of money. You have to spend it somehow.”

The building going up now is the club building.

It is a place equipped with various training facilities, convenience facilities, and all kinds of spaces where club members can rest or sleep, as well as facilities such as warehouses and workrooms.

So, a lot of money was invested, but honestly, when I think about the money I earned from exploring and doing various things, I didn’t spend that much.

Even though we used only the highest quality materials, it still turned out like this.

“Once this is built, no one will live in the dorms and will just stay here.”

“I’ll just go and sleep for a bit during the roll call. Honestly, I think this place would be better. The facilities would probably be better than the Dante’s. And they’re going to put down a special Dane-made magic stone.”

“It’ll be fancy, it’ll be fancy. Everyone keeps asking when we’ll be selecting club members next year.”

“Teachers, there are more than a few kids in our martial arts department who say that their wish is to join our club.”

No wonder our club’s popularity is skyrocketing.

“But Dane, you’re going on an adventure?”

“Yeah. With Professor Bruno from the Department of Theology.”

“How did it turn out like that?”

“It’ll take a long time if I say it.”

It would have been nice if we could all go together, but since Professor Bruno’s personal reasons were also involved in this adventure, Jenna and I decided to go alone.

Professor Bruno must have had a lot of trouble telling us that, and I’m sure many students don’t want their most intimate details known.

“It would have been nice if we had gone together. Should I have taken that lecture too?”

Leila seemed a little disappointed, but soon turned her gaze towards the club building under construction.

“What about the interior? Leila, should we go to the furniture store that decorated the club room?”

“I’ll look into that. No, but wouldn’t Wendell know a little better? In the art field.”

Everyone was really excited.

Honestly, I like it too.

It’s a first in Academy history.

In the case where a single club uses such a large site exclusively and even builds a building on it.

Well, I guess our romantic club has been doing a lot of things.

“Let’s go, Jenna.”

“Yeah, Dane.”

Leaving our excited friends behind, Jenna and I headed to Professor Bruno’s lab.

Now that you’ve made your decision, it’s time to make a rough plan before you go.

“Oh, you’re here. Sorry to call you when you’re busy.”

“No, we need a plan.”

Professor Bruno unfolded a simple map.

After always looking at Ernest’s elaborate maps, I was able to feel Ernest’s spirit of exploration once again when I saw this map with only the main locations roughly marked.

“The temple is located not far west of the capital. It takes half a day to get there if you ride a horse, or a day if you go slowly. If you two don’t have a horse to ride, I can lend you one.”

“Oh, we’re fine. Jenna’s not here, but I think I can handle it.”

“Then there will be no problem with movement. That’s fortunate.”

I guessed the approximate route and it didn’t seem like we’d passed by the western city, Pecs, where we had dealt with the sandstorm.

If I had seen it in passing, I couldn’t have not noticed it.

“Here, at this point, turn and go down. It’s the valley that leads to the forbidden. Originally, it wasn’t this valley, but the area around the temple that was guarded, but now it’s a form of controlling the entrance to the valley itself.”

“Should I sneak in?”

“No. You may enter for research purposes. However, you must sign a ten-page pledge.”

I get the gist.

I guess it’s a pledge to take responsibility for any situation that arises.

“Once you pass through the canyon, you’ll come across restricted areas. There are forests that have rotted away due to the temple’s influence, and places where monsters are swarming.”

“It’s a dangerous place.”

“Yes. But paradoxically, thanks to that influence, the monsters don’t come out. They know instinctively. Since they are influenced by this temple, they become dangerous the moment they leave the temple’s territory.”

“It would be a headache for the empire as well.”

“That’s right. We often sent priests from the temple to try to purify it, but as I said… … .”

It’s not easy.

“Anyway, it’s not hard to get there. The problem is getting there.”

Actually, this is the key.

There’s a reason why it’s a restricted area.

The warlocks were killed en masse, and in the process, the runaway magic completely contaminated the surrounding area.

If the forest is rotting to the point where even the monsters are affected, then in normal cases it would probably be impossible to even breathe.

But unfortunately or fortunately, I have had the experience of the recent plague outbreak in the South.

“So, I’ve prepared a few plans. They’re a bit expensive, but… … .”

Professor Bruno suddenly takes out a brochure.

It looked like a brochure published by Daeshinjeon, and various products were described like a furniture store catalog.

“Here, do you see this? It’s a protective product that charges divine power in advance and can be used once. The duration varies depending on the environment, but it’s about 2 hours on average. If we conservatively assume it’s 1 hour, then if you buy about 45 of them… … .”

I thought about it for a moment and then opened my mouth after Professor Bruno finished explaining.

“… … The Daesinjeon items are expensive, but it’s okay. I can get money somehow.”

“I don’t think you have to do that. But if you’re really worried, you can buy a few.”

“What do you mean?”

“I can solve it. It purifies the surrounding air and blocks contact with the surrounding energy.”

“……yes?”

Seeing is believing.

I thought about what would be suitable, but nothing beats the energy of a pre-stored thought form.

“What the heck is this…?”

“It’s a dangerous energy that has been sealed away.”

It was a good thing that I had saved a sample of the spirit of Poenes’s ideology in advance.

There are a few more, so one is fine.

“You’re not saying we’re going to solve this here, are you?”

“I have to go out and do it.”

After a while.

We were standing in the backyard of the research building, and I stood with the two of them in a reasonably secluded place.

“… … What the heck.”

I gave the two men a purification device and a magic barrier formation device equipped with my special magic stones.

After that, the moment of releasing energy.

“oh my god.”

As expected, Professor Bruno reacted with astonishment.
