◈ Episode 145 Chrollo Febius (1)
[There were many nobles who fled to other countries from Durmang Kingdom, but there was only one place that met the conditions you mentioned.]
“Where is that?”
[It’s the Duke of Febius.]
Febius? It’s the first name I’ve heard of.
Five years ago, when I was active as a hunter <Abraham Van Helsing>, my main stage was the Kingdom of Durman.
After hunting the monster of Jebodang, I was called a great hunter and many people tried to contact me, but most of them were nobles who wanted to have me as their subordinate.
But even among those aristocratic families, the name Phevius had never been heard.
I heard it, but I haven’t forgotten it.
It is true that it is the first time to hear that a duke cannot help but remember the position, but he has no memory of it.
“To think there was such a duke. Didn’t you see him when he was active as a hunter?”
[Yeah, it can’t be helped. At the time when his older brother and I met, the Duke of Febius did not exist in the Kingdom of Durmans.]
didn’t exist? Peac*ck family?
“It seems like we need more details.”
[As you know, the kingdom of Durman was in ruin five years ago, after the bloody night incident.]
“It did.”
Due to the abnormal proliferation of cryptids, the country has completely lost its trust in the people.
The cryptid subjugation ended successfully, but the damage was also great.
The estimated damage was astronomical.
If so, did the kingdom compensate by releasing money?
‘What is the reward? They were busy just filling their stomachs.’
No matter how many commoners died, it didn’t matter much to the nobles.
Rather, he would have liked it more because the number of those who wanted to cause a revolution decreased.
These actions ignited the resentment of citizens who had been suppressed.
Above all, the person who defeated the monster of Jebodang at the time was neither a knight nor a wizard, but a mere hunter.
It was like pouring oil on a situation where there was a lot of dissatisfaction with the aristocrats’ corruption.
And the result, as you know, was directly linked to the revolution.
‘Incomparable to before, the angry people raised the flag of the revolution, and the royal family became desperate and sacrificed nobles in order to survive.’
In fact, the royal family were also the same, but they had something better than the nobles, so they were quick to notice.
Thanks to the quick action to condemn the nobles, the royal family was able to retain the name Durmand, at least nominally.
‘A large number of nobles went out, and other nobles who recognized the seriousness of the situation attempted to seek asylum with their families in a foreign country.’
In other words, it is after the bloody night incident that the nobles of the Durmang kingdom fled to another country.
However, since the Duke of Febius had fled before that happened, I didn’t understand.
That he had already left years before the revolution?
“… … It’s not just an asylum. Did you run away?”
[I didn’t even tell you, but you noticed it right away. Brother is right. They ran away.]
“He ran away. from what?”
[I was curious about that too, so I looked for the reason… … Here’s a rather strange story. Event? No, it’s a bit ambiguous whether to call this an incident.]
Hans over the crystal ball looked pretty embarrassed if he could say this.
“Just tell me.”
[Mmm. Before the Febius family went into exile, rumors circulated that the family itself was cursed.]
curse?
At the sudden words, Rudger remained silent for a moment.
Hans’ explanation continued.
[Well, one day, the elder of the family suddenly disappeared.]
“The elder is gone. Is that a problem enough to call it a curse?”
[The problem is that the case didn’t end there. one two. The people related to the family disappeared. That the previous family head, who had resigned from his position, was burned alive and died.]
“Burned to death?”
[The curious thing is that the mansion is not on fire. It’s not a fire, but only the person called the head of the family died from the fire. It was so absurd that even though rumors spread at the time, no one believed it.]
In the end, people couldn’t help but be afraid.
It is said that God punished the Febius family.
“If you look at the flow, the elders who seem to have disappeared one by one… … .”
[exactly. They all burned to death. Just like the previous head of household died, his body suddenly caught fire and turned to ashes in his place. The family said they would hide it as much as possible, but it was eventually discovered.]
“It’s a strange thing.”
[exactly. It’s a strange thing. If it was a duke’s family, the security would have been tight, and the Myeonggani family would have been wizards as well.]
The people who did that were all burned to death one by one.
It also made sense that people would say that it was not just an assassination, but a punishment from God.
“Is that why the ducal family of a country fled as if in exile?”
The people of the Febius family also realized it. That a curse or something else is trying to kill them.
so he ran away
To all parts of the continent to live divided and scattered from each other.
And the entity that follows it.
It was the incarnation of vengeance created by the union of death, malice, hatred and sorrow.
“Who are the survivors of the Fabius family?”
[Only one.]
one?
I don’t know how many people there are in the Fabius family.
However, since they were a family with the title of duke of a country, the number must not have been small by any means.

There must have been at least 100 people.
“Are all the rest dead?”
[The cause of death, of course, was all by fire.]
Sosa. It is said to have been burned to death.
Esmeralda had to find and kill all of them.
“Still, the wizards wouldn’t have suffered like that. Was there any resistance?”
[There was. They hired people, called knights, and they did it all. But as you can see the result… … .]
“is it.”
[And looking at this arson incident in chronological order, I noticed something a little unusual. The scale of the arson seems to be increasing.]
“Has the scale increased?”
A rustling sound came through the crystal ball.
It seemed that Hans was rummaging through the data he had known.
[At first, only the Fabius family died. A frightened human had dozens of his bodyguards, but he was burned to death like a ghost.]
“The others haven’t touched it.”
[However, as more and more arson incidents occurred, the damage began to spread not only to the people from the Febius family, but also to the surroundings.]
Initially only multiple parties.
After that, everything around.
Then the whole room where we stayed.
[It grew bigger and bigger, and in the past, the whole mansion was burned down, which is the end of this arson case.]
I remembered the fire spirit, Quasimodo, who appeared at the banquet hall.
At that time, it was taken for granted that he went on a rampage as soon as he appeared, but until now, he had purely eliminated the goal?
‘Damage that was limited to the target of the initial revenge gradually spread? It is surprising that only a plurality of parties were decided, but the fact that the scale has increased is there some kind of change of heart?’
I remembered Esmeralda’s past as seen through the painting magic.
I don’t know what happened to her after she disappeared into the darkness of the forest on the day of the Great Fire of Roten.
I don’t even know how I ended up in the Black Dawn.
“Hans. Then who is the last survivor of the Fabius family?”
[This is a guy named Chrollo Febius. The last survivor of Febius and the current head of the Febius family.]
“Is the family head still alive?”
[I checked and it seems so.]
“Where is that Krollo Febius, then?”
[You didn’t know, bro?]
what do you not know
When I responded that I sincerely did not know, Hans replied in a slightly flustered tone.
[Oh, that human. He is now a teacher in the three right.]
* * *
A private residence for teachers in Seorn.
Rudger stopped in front of a building.
‘Come here.’
The nameplate at the entrance read [Chrollo Pevius].
‘I was really working as a teacher in Seorn.’
It must be said that it is dark under the lamp.
I can’t believe that the last survivor that the First Order Esmeralda was chasing was in Ceorn.
‘Did Esmeralda infiltrate Ceorn in order to kill Lee?’
Everything Esmeralda has done so far has been to get rid of the people of the Fabius family.
After achieving revenge one by one, the last surviving member of the Febius family was the head of the household.
The place where he was staying was right here, Seorn Academy.
‘It’s surprising that he only moved for his own revenge, considering he joined the Black Dawn. Is Zero Order condoning this?’
It was difficult to make any conclusions without knowing the nature of Zero Order.
Ding-Dong.
Rudger rang the doorbell.
But there was no response from inside.
‘There’s no way there isn’t.’
Ludger had already been to Chrollo Febius’ office before coming here.
Chrollo Febius was Ceorn’s teacher, but in fact he was more of an honorary teacher.
It wasn’t because he was selected after taking the teacher test, but because he was a noble from Durmang Kingdom, he was given a position as a condition of exile.
So there is a private teacher’s office, but I didn’t go to work.
‘Then he must be at home.’
Could it be that he was still sleeping?
After pressing the doorbell a few more times with that thought in mind, Ludger shook his head and squeezed the doorknob with his hand.
“… … .”
moment of silence.
Rudger carefully removed his hand from the doorknob and slinked back.
rattle!
Right after that, the door opened on its own, and attack magic flew from inside.
‘Magic?’
It was a sudden surprise, but Ludger handled it calmly.
The magic of the source code was activated and created a magical barrier in front of him.
The flying magic was blocked there and scattered.
‘The power is weak. It wasn’t an attack he was aiming for, but rather a magic that he used urgently.’
However, there was no guarantee that the attack would not come again after that.
Right now, no one is watching, but if there is a commotion, it will draw attention.
Having made up his mind, Ludger jumped out of his seat and ran into the house through the open door.
“Hee, hee!”
A terrified cry was heard from inside.
Even though it was broad daylight, the inside of the house was dark because the light did not come in properly, but Ludger could see clearly through it.
A wooden table toppled over. Behind him, Chrollo Febius was hiding and pointing his staff at this side.
There you are.
Rudger rushed right at him without slowing down.
The tip of the wand Crollo was holding flashed, and a ray of light flew out.
3rd tier light attribute emission magic. The range is narrow, but the penetration is high. It cannot be blocked by hastily built barriers.
However, that beam of light cut through the air in vain.
“Uh, what… … !”
Crollo’s mouth was wide open at the agile movement, which he could hardly believe was a wizard.
Right after that, Rudger’s savage right hand jumped over the table and squeezed his mouth and twisted the arm holding the staff with his left hand.
“Turn it off!”
“quiet. Do you have anything to advertise outside?”
When I quietly whispered, I stopped screaming to see if I was just ignorant.
As if he had finally calmed down, his breathing slowed even more.
Rudger carefully removed his hand.
“Huh. Huh Eok. All right, who are you?”
“Ludger Chelsea.”
Rudgar raised his bent body.
“I am a newly appointed teacher.”
“Gyo, teacher?”
“Mr Chrollo Febius, is that right?”
“No, that’s right.”
Crollo let out a sigh of relief, realizing that Ludger was not his enemy.
Rudger looked around the room. He was messy here and there because he hadn’t cleaned it, and it was full of musty smell.
As we approached the window to get some fresh air, Crollo cried out in a fit.
“Hey, don’t open it!”
“Isn’t it full of dust?”
“Hey, this is my house! Just leave it alone!”
Not for magical reasons or anything like that. His eyes were full of fear.
Ludger also took a closer look at Crollo Phevius.
It was obviously the first person he met, but Rudger realized that his appearance was somehow familiar.
‘That man… … .’
The blonde hair, which was brilliant in the past, has long since lost its luster.
Dark circles were full under his sunken eyes, and his untidy beard was growing messy, probably because he couldn’t wash properly and didn’t sleep.
‘Chrollo Febius.’
The last surviving member of the Fabius family.
and.
He was the one who caused the big fire in Rotang.
There was no way I could forget what I saw in the world of painting magic.
‘Besides, I wondered where else I’d seen it.’
Wasn’t it the person I was talking to with Selina-sensei a while ago?
Back then, I only saw her back, but her blonde hair, her physique, and her atmosphere.
‘The human who committed such a thing is still alive.’
Feelings of disgust welled up, but Ludger suppressed them.
The important thing now was not to hold Chloe Febius accountable for the crimes he had committed.
Rudger removed his hand from the curtain and slowly approached Crollo.
rattle.
Ludger picked up a fallen wooden chair nearby and set it in front of Krollo and sat down on it.
“Mr. Chrollo Febius.”
“Uh, what… … .”
Crollo felt something irresistible at the sound of Ludgar’s voice calling his name.
I was relieved because I was a new teacher, but what the hell was that atmosphere?
Ludger’s eyes seemed to glow red in the dark.
“Let’s talk.”
There was no right of veto.
