To My Beloved, I Present My Exquisite Nightmare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 141

Muuge turned back to the spirit and spoke again.

“But if he was excluded from the Conclave, he wouldn’t have been able to act as a master, right? According to Chrisrad, he had a disciple.”

The spirit fluttered its robe back and forth once more.

“Hmm, Anes left the city seventy years ago. Since he was excluded from the Conclave, as Miss Olga said, he had no official disciples. However, another mage disappeared from the city around that same time—and on the exact same date as Anes!”

“Who was it?”

“Hmm, the name isn’t written down. It’s recorded only as ‘Nameless,’ which suggests the name was deliberately concealed.”

Though Eustar and Laila didn’t grasp the implication, a mocking smile curled at the corner of Muuge’s lips. After all, mages only hid their names when they were about to break the rules in some way.

That so-called disciple was probably much younger than Anes and a timid soul who couldn’t interact freely with others.

Perhaps he never truly wanted to follow his master. He likely lacked the courage to return to the city bearing the stigma of having studied magic under someone expelled from the Conclave.

“What about records of that nameless one? Is there nothing else?”

“No, nothing at all! Ah—though there is a note that he was fifty-four years old at the time.”

Laila interrupted.

“Fifty-four? He didn’t look that old.”

Muuge turned to look at her.
