Chapter 245: Necromancy

Despite being the Fae King, Austin is a patient teacher who was also well-versed in the history of magic. He knew that Meredith was eager to learn, so he decided to make her lesson in necromancy exciting. He taught her how to summon a spirit who could tell her the history of magic.

"Alright, I've taught you how to do the summoning. Now, you can act on your own," he said, the woman nodding as she started doing it alone with Austin's watch.

Meredith was both amazed and nervous during the summoning ritual. She had never experienced anything like it before. With the candles in the room dancing with the wind, the spirit appeared and she could feel its presence in the room.

"Aaah… Junipper," Austin greeted her, Meredith blinking her eyes a few times as she was surprised that Austin knew her. "Thank you for visiting us."

"As if I have a choice," the ghost said with humor in her voice, a chuckle followed after. "I was summoned, didn't I? Why did you call me?"
