Chapter 217
10 Years After – 217
I decided to pet Grulf before returning to Danton’s mansion .
“Good boy . You did so well . ”
“Groof!”
Grulf’s tail wagged happily .
“However, it’s quite dangerous . So you must be careful . ”
“Grrrroof!”
“Really, I don’t want you to get hurt . ”
“Grooof?”
Grulf tilted his head to the side . I wasn’t sure if he understood me at all .
I would have to try and tell him again some other time .
And then I talked to Lord Gerberga .
“Lord Gerberga . Are you alright?”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Lord Gerberga was nestled quietly in my jacket .
“Were you able to see the wraith, Lord Gerberga?”
“Cluck . ”
Judging by Lord Gerberga’s reaction, I had no idea what the answer was .
But I thought it would not be odd if he did see it .
After that, we started walking towards Danton’s house .
Kathe petted Grulf as we walked .
“So, Grulf can see dark wraiths then . ”
“Yes . But the beastkin wolves couldn’t see it, so it must be an ability exclusive to spirit beasts . ”
“It was also surprising that his claws and fangs could affect it . ”
Mors was right . Wraiths were generally immune to physical attacks .
But my Devil King Sword, Eric’s Holy Sword, and Goran’s magic sword should all be effective too .
The short sword that the chiefs received from Princess Leea would also be effective .
But ordinary swords did no damage to wraiths .
“What about Shia and Serulis’s swords…?”
“I’m not sure about that . ”
Shia’s sword had been taken from a vampire lord who was rank six .
And Serulis’s sword was from a vampire high lord .
They had excellent durability and were very sharp . They were no ordinary blades .
However, that didn’t mean they would work against wraiths .
“I might have to cast some magic on them later . ”
“That’s a good idea . ”

Mors said with a serious expression .
“But their swords are special, aren’t they?”
“Yes . They were taken from vampires . ”
“If there is already magic cast on them… It should prove to be rather difficult to add more on top of that . ”
That was true . But I thought that it would be possible with the help of Kathe and Mors .
“Mors . Kathe . When the time comes, I hope you will help me . ”
“Yes, leave it to me . ”
“It should be easy enough!”
“That being said, neither of them can see or sense wraiths . That’s also a problem . ”
“That’s true…”
Mors thought about this for a moment and then made a suggestion .
“Perhaps we should develop some kind of special tool to help them . ”
“Yes . We can use what we learned while making the magic detection tool . ”
“But it will be hard making it small enough to be portable…”
“Yes, that will be very hard . As it will have to do more than just alert you of its presence . ”
“Hmmm . That’s true . ”
You had to know the exact location in order to battle a dark wraith .
The magic tool we had made earlier had no such feature .
“Hmmm…this is troublesome indeed . ”
“It really is . ”

We arrived at Danton’s mansion while we discussed it .
My eye immediately went to the hole in the wall that I had made . I would have to start by fixing that .
And so I went through the hole and moved towards the dining hall where the others were waiting .
Shia, Nia, Serulis, Luchila and the children were all gathered there as well .
This had probably been done because it was an emergency .
“Locke! What happened?”
“We killed the intruder…but I opened a hole in your wall . ”
“Don’t worry about any holes . ”
I carefully handed over Lord Gerberga to Luchila .
“I thought he might be safer with me, and so I took him with us . ”
“Yes, I know . Thank you for protecting him . ”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Luchila held Lord Gerberga and petted him gently .
And then I turned to Danton and the other chiefs .
“There is something that I must talk to you all about… But I will go and fix the wall first . ”
“Locke . Are you afraid that there might be more?”
“It’s possible . ”

Of course, a wall wouldn’t make much of a difference if it was a dark wraith .
That being said, we had many enemies . So a wall was still important .
“I intend to fill the hole up quickly for now . I hope you don’t mind?”
“I don’t… But I don’t know if we have any materials…”
“Don’t worry about that . I still have some materials left from when I did repairs in my mansion . ”
“I will help you too!”
“And me!”
“Me too!”
“So will I!”
Shia, Serulis, Nia, and Luchila all offered to help .
“Are you going to use magic as well? Then I will help . ”
“I will do what I can . ”
“Thank you . ”
Kathe and Mors would also help me .
“Good . Alright, Shia and Serulis, you lay the bricks . Luchila and Nia . You do the mortar . ”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
I took the materials out of the magic bag and we started to fill up the hole .
I had fixed quite a few walls in my life now .
Danton also tried to help, but he saw that we knew what we were doing, and so he left us alone .
