I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 87: Another Lucian?

After thinking for some seconds, Eryndor asked another question.

"What about his family?"

"What?"

"I mean, is his family alive? If they are alive, how are they doing? Did they encounter any crisis in the past? Or went through something unfortunate?"

"Weird questions dude. What are you up to?"

"It’s important. You’re the only one I can ask for these things. It might be related to your family’s upcoming battle."

"What? Are you sure?"

"Yes, don’t notify anyone though. I am not sure yet."

"If you say so. Cuz I have a hard time believing it myself."

"Thanks."

"I’m checking their information, wait a moment."

Eryndor glanced around with an empty mind while waiting.

"Got it. Apparently, his family has been doing rather good. Lucian is talented enough to rank high in their list of geniuses.

"They haven’t encountered any incidents in the past as far as the reports go. I don’t know anything beyond this."

"Uh, okay."

Confusion was etched across Eryndor’s face as he closed his eyes to think.

This doesn’t make sense. Lucian’s family is perfectly alright, he has no reason to take revenge, not to mention he is chilling in his estate.

He doesn’t seem to be in the state of wanting revenge either.

Eryndor opened the chat group and typed in a message.

"You are keeping an eye on a suspicious person, but he isn’t doing anything suspicious at all. And some of the information about him doesn’t match as well.

"What do you do in this situation?"

Paulina replied first.

"Investigate more carefully, there should be clues at least somewhere."

Drakarion: "Go and interrogate him. If he’s suspicious then we just need to ’ask’ him ’nicely’ until he responds."

Eryndor shook his head at the two answers, they weren’t viable in this situation.

Valentina replied a moment later.

"What if you’ve got the wrong person?"

Eryndor read her opinion and helplessly chuckled.

Extremely typical of you.

No.

His expression of amusement was caught midway as his face froze.

Eryndor thanked his roommates then tossed his phone on the bed.

Yes, what if I’ve got the wrong person altogether?

What if he was looking at the wrong Lucian? What if Liliana had deliberately saved the name incorrectly?

Nope, the second question is idiotic, I am going mad. If the name is saved incorrectly then how the fuck am I going to find out the correct one?

Let me tackle the first question.

Could there be some other Lucian who was seeking revenge? Seeking revenge against Calix?

His reason for seeking revenge was for his family. But it still brought the topic back to square one.

Why would the Mage Outer Domain also attack Calix?

No, there is another way to look at it.

What if Lucian was someone from the Mage Outer Domain? Then their interests would align.

If he was someone higher up in the rankings, the Mage Outer Domain would have to give him plenty of preferential treatment.

Hierarchy existed everywhere.

But then, why was Liliana helping Lucian?

Have the Sinclairs really betrayed mankind?

Eryndor was almost on the verge of grabbing his hair.

There’s no way to verify if they’ve betrayed mankind. Not now when the attention of everyone is on the battle.

The Human Federation won’t doubt one of its allies at this point in time.

Eryndor shook his head, and kept aside this option. He went back to his previous line of thought.

If it is some other Lucian from the Humans, who could it be?

Eryndor also completely disregarded Calix and the Mage Outer Domain’s matter. He was purely focused on finding who Lucian could be.

For the umpteenth time, he once again messaged Syndra. By now, he was embarrassed himself.

"Can you help me find something?"

"...."

He kept quiet when all Syndra sent was just a series of dots.

Indeed, another reply arrived shortly after.

"Just a single spar will definitely not compensate for all the work you’re making me do at this point."

"I mean, this is for you, for your family. I am fighting for their survival from my side."

"Oh, thanks a lot mister, but we’ll talk about that if you do actually manage to save us, not to mention we can handle ourselves just fine. For now, you owe me a favor."

Eryndor helplessly sighed, before replying. "Alright."

"That’s how it should be. You offer something before asking for help, not to mention you were asking for it time and time again."

"Alright alright, I get it, okay? Now can you help me find if there was someone named Lucian whose family met a rather unfavorable end or went through something traumatic?"

"I don’t have the entire humanity’s database, you’re overestimating me."

Fair enough, but if he is targeting Calix during this battle in Polinek city, maybe he is someone from there?

Maybe he would hide in the city and ambush Calix while he was busy fighting the Mage Outer Domain’s troops?

In that case, I still don’t understand why the Mage Outer Domain would need the Amplifier Doll to break down the wall and ambush quickly.

But chuck it, let’s set that aside.

"You can search in whatever database you have."

"I currently only have the database of Polinek city, I’ll search in that."

Eryndor didn’t reply to her but simply waited.

A few minutes passed by as his mind continued making connections.

Finally, she sent a message.

"There is only one such record which matches your requirements, and it’s an old record. There was a kid named Lucian whose father died in one of the numerous battles against the Mage Outer Domain.

"This is kind of unpleasant, I must say. From the information I have on my hands, it seems that his father seemed to have been caught talking about my uncle behind his back.

"His death might not be…natural. I know my uncle very well, that petty bastard wouldn’t take this kindly. I hate him very much. Unfortunately, he is pretty high up in the family, and the Polinek city is under his control.

"Which means I come across him daily during meetings. That fucking asshole."

Eryndor was pretty used to Syndra adding in extra details while giving him information. She often went off track while talking, several times ranting about her own feelings.

After a few more moments of ranting, she was back on track.

"It seems his mother and sister also met their end in an unfortunate incident. They were made scapegoats in place of some of the figures in authority who were caught in a crime.

"This is sad as fuck. This is also why I hate uncle Pat, all he cares about is money and reputation. He doesn’t care about the people under him at all, he would literally go to any length to get what he wants.

"Anyway, this Lucian kid seems to have been declared dead shortly after by the authorities. His body wasn’t found, just that his neighbours reported it to the authorities after not seeing him for several days.

"He probably died in some place, as there are no records of him leaving the city. Maybe he got out through some means? Who knows?"

Eryndor’s eyes narrowed as she finished giving him all the information.

I think this is it. This is the Lucian we need, I might know how he got out of the city.
