Transmigrated as a Ghost

719 Chapter 719

“Are you both ready to go?”

“Yes, I am good, Lady Irene.”

“I am set as well, Irene. Let us return to the capital.”

Marcus having confirmation from Clara and Alaric, turned his head back around from his position on the front of Blitz’s back.

Then with the command to get going Blitz quickly began trotting down the streets of Lethallan towards the exit.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, they were easily able to leave and began picking up speed on the road leading back to the royal capital.

‘This ought to be far enough.’ Marcus thought once the city was barely visible.

At this point he took Blitz off the side of the road and hopped off while allowing Clara to take the front and Alaric stay behind her.

“We are about to take off. Make sure to properly brace yourselves.” Marcus said to Clara and Alaric.

Nodding her head Clara gripped tightly to Blitz as she remembered her previous experience flying on his back around two months ago.

Alaric for his part after leveling up a lot in the dungeon as far more confident now and had no problems with flying now.

In an instant Marcus with Blitz right behind him shot off into the sky and they began flying swiftly towards the royal capital of Borealia.

By pushing themselves they managed to arrive at the gates of the royal capital by sunset of the same day, and with Marcus’ status as a noble were able to easily enter the city.

“So, Alaric. You never did decide did you. Do you want me to take you home right away or would you like to spend the night at my estate?” Marcus asked as Blitz sped towards the noble inner wall of the city.

“It is late. I do not want to distribute my parents right now. I think it would be best if I spend the night at your estate and sent them a letter telling of my return tomorrow before showing up.” Alaric eventually said after giving it some thought.

Perfectly fine with his decision Marcus took them back to his estate.

Upon their arrival Marcus and Alaric headed into his estate for a rather late and unexpected dinner.

“Thanks, you for getting back up to make this Stella. Your work here is always appreciated.” Marcus said once they had finished.

“It was no problem, Lady Irene. I am happy that you enjoyed it even though I put it together in a hurry.”

After their meal both Alaric and Marcus headed off to their respective rooms in order to get some rest.

‘Ah. Nothing beats lying in your own bed after a nice long bath.’

Sprawled out on his bed Marcus simply relaxed for a few minutes before deciding what to do next.

‘I believe that Mrazivý, Quillon, and Lyra should have already gotten back from their own dungeon delving by now. I should give them a call and tell them I am back.’

Pulling out his sending stone Marcus contacted Mrazivý and got an immediate response.

“Marcus do you know what time it is?” Mrazivý said while stifling a yawn.

Hearing this Marcus looked over at the clock in his room and saw that it was a bit past midnight.

‘I guess I took a longer bath than I thought.’

Immediately Marcus apologized for calling so late, before quickly shifting the topic over to why he had called.

“I just arrived back in the city and wanted to inform you about it.” Marcus said.

“Really!? I thought that you were going to stick it out until the need to get that boy Alaric you are training as strong as possible?”

“Yeah, but I decided to call it a bit early. I did not think he was going to get another level in the time we had left and figured it would be better to have a few more days to rest and prepare here. I have a number of things I need to get done before we go into the special dungeon.”

“I see, but if you are back that means I can come over tomorrow. It has been quite a while and I want to show off how strong I have gotten. Oh, and there is something else that I have to tell you about.” Mrazivý said with a mischievous giggle.

Feeling a bit of trepidation, Marcus tried to press her for details. But she would not spill anything and told him he would find out tomorrow.

“Now I will be over around lunch time with Quillon and Lyra in tow as well. Make sure to prepare your best for us.” Mrazivý said before disconnecting her sending stone.

‘Looks like I will be busy in the morning.’ Marcus thought with a sigh. Though he did have a large grin on his face as well.

It had now been several months since he had seen Mrazivý, and he was very much looking forward to seeing her tomorrow.

He also made sure that once he had finished talking to her, that he contacted Lilia. And a little surprisingly found that she was actually currently awake.

“Oh, you are both back! That is great! School is winding down right now since I finished my exams four days ago, so I can take off tomorrow and come back over. Ah, something just came up. I will need a minute.”

While talking to Marcus, Lilia abruptly put down the sending stone and in the next instance Marcus heard what sounded like numerous loud grunts on the other side.

“Sorry, everything is taken care of now. What time should I try to be over by?” Lilia said nonchalantly.

Marcus for his part was quite confused and asked his little sister where she was and what she was doing in the dead of night.

“Huh, I figured that would be obvious. I already told you that since I do not need as much sleep thanks to my unique skill, I often take night jobs at the adventurers guild. Right now, I am helping a merchant transport some goods through the city, and we are going through some lesser used roads where some thugs attacked. You would be surprised how common an occurrence this is. But it means more work for me, so I am not complaining.” Lilia said happily.

It seemed that she was pretty happy doing her job. And Marcus had already approved, so he left it at that.

“Okay, and as for your earlier question, before lunch time would be ideal. Mrazivý, Quillon, and Lyra will be coming as well and that is when they will be here. Also, I am pretty sure Alaric would like to see you.”

Perking up at the mention of Alaric, Lilia began asking Marcus for details about his training.

“It sounds like he really put in a lot of effort. I cannot wait to see him again now. I think I will be over early. Probably just an hour after sunrise if that is fine?”

“Sure. This is your home. If you said that you wanted to come over right now, I would not have any problems.

With their plans settled, Lilia and Marcus who did not have anything better to do conversed through the night for nearly another two hours. Until Lilia arrived at her destination and needed to hang up to finish her mission.
