It was obvious no matter how many times she looked at it.
It was in fact in Korean.
According to Erden, the book was copied by someone.
Perhaps because of that, the handwriting was uneven. A foreigner who did not know Hangul seemed to have painted it awkwardly.
But it wasnât hard to decipher it. The unspoiled parts were visible at a glance.
ââŚAbout the Demons.â
I read it aloud.
Erden, who was watching in tension, was startled. He shouted, excitedly, far too loud.
âDid you just read it?â
âYesâŚâ
âYou could decipher this book? I showed you just in case, and you really did!â
Leticia looked awkward with Erdenâs enthusiastic response.
Itâs not a big deal at all right? Itâs a language of past life, so itâs natural for her to read it fluently.
Erden did not know that and is amazed as if he had met a sorcerer.
âCan you decipher here, too? Here too?â
He poured out questions as he looked deep from place to place. He couldnât wait to find out what is said in this book.
It took some time of course.
He lost his parents at an early age and was defending the castle alone. If you can get the mysterious knowledge of The Great Book of Secrets, there is no greater contribution.
âI hope this is something useful.â
Leticia opened the book carefully, hoping so.
âIâll read it to you slowly.â
After passing a few pages, the story is understandable.
Leticia read aloud the recognizable words.
â âPandemonia.â The demons here are evil and cunning⌠This is the part that explains the demons here.â
Erden looks intently at Leticia.
âLet me see.â
Leticia read through her eyes in the meantime.
I wanted to Erden know as much as I could.
But the damage was too severe. Few sentences remained readable. Only a few words were connected to each other.
Thatâs why.
Leticia was convinced.
There wonât be any gains in studying this for a hundred days.
Even if she managed to figure out which word or sentence structure is repeated, she couldnât be able to tell what concept it refers to.
For example, even if the word âKeâ is repeated over and over again, how does she know what it means? There is no one who can speak Korean.
Thatâs why the book became a secret.
â⌠Itâs difficult. At first, just as I thoughtâŚâ
One passage caught her eye from the broken contents. Leticia filled the empty part with a few guessed words and read it to Erden.
âThere is, nevertheless, the secret that I was able to successfully subdue those demons.ââ
âFinally to the point?â
Erden couldnât hide his excitement, he got close to the book without even reading it.
Leticia was curious as well. She hurriedly read the next paragraph.
âI caught the demons off guard with things in this worldâŚâŚâ
Ah.
My shoulders drooped down.
âThe man who wrote this book must have brought back the things he used in his own world.â
Leticia said in dismay, the great sage was not reincarnated like herself.
âHe must have done some kind of dimensional shifting.â
Erden snorted his head.
âDimensional Shifting?â
âOh, I mean, from one world to another? I canât do that originally, butâŚâ
âOh, you crossed the border of the world? So should we cross the boundary line and bring some mysterious objects from the great sageâs world?â
âWait a minute. And then it says, But things are just a backup. The important thing is to use your brain.â
âHow can I do that?â
âWellâŚâ
The damage was even worse and the letters are in mess in the following parts, then suddenly a very clear paragraph miraculously appeared.
âThe modern world is real and has more wicked people. To subdue the demons, mankind cultivated and fished for hundreds of years since the 19th century and it was used by upper species of the demons in Pandemonium. I won the demons on this kind of basis.â
Leticia read it all with her big eyes.
âWhat are you talking about, Madame?â
Erden was thrown into confusion.
Those were difficult words for Leticia, too. But I could understand it through previous lifeâs knowledge stored in my head.
Of course, understanding is one thing and explaining is another.
She then responded to his question.
âIn other words, the world where the great sages used to live was a world where there were more wicked people than demons.â
âAh! Thatâs what modern life is.â
âYouâre saying?â
âSimilarly, in that world, everyone competes to maximize their profits. Since money canât do anything, all kinds of evil and evil methods were developed. For over 100 years, the culture has been a top business for demons. The great sage defeated the demons with it.â
âIs that really possible?â
Leticia thought for a moment and answered.
âYou can also do that.â
The newspapers and news she had seen in her previous life came to her.
âEra of Infinite Competitionâ, âInnocent Fraudâ, âDevil Manipulation and Incitementâ, âNational dramaâ, âTrying to squeeze until deathâ, âwinnerâs monopolyâ, âcoordinationâ, âprofound interestâ, âgreedâ âŚYes, the devil is seen everywhere.
I explained those things to Erden as hard as I could.
I donât know if he understood it well, but he seemed to admit it right away.
âItâs obviously a higher civilization. No wonder the great sages were able to catch the demons off guard.â
He nodded and accepted deeply, then looked at Leticia again. He seemed eager to know more.
âWhat does it say next?â
Leticia hurried over to the next page.
But thatâs it.
Only a few blank sheets of paper followed and the book ended.
âAhâŚâ
At the same time, sighs came out of their mouths.
Leticia couldnât help but flip through the blank paper.
âIâve shown you everything, but we havenât figured out anything that much.â
âNo!â
Erden said hurriedly.
âYouâve given me enough! Who could have known this valuable information? You were much greater than I thought. Iâm sure youâll be a great sage soon. Itâs not gonna be trapped in this northern corner anymore.âŚ.â
I glanced over him, and mumbled my words, now he treated me as if I was a god.
Leticia feels embarrassed.
Being treated like a wise man is a wonderful thing.
But Leticia is not a wise man. This is just a piece of knowledge.
When she saw Erdenâs pure admiration, she felt guilty. Even if it was kept secret from everyone in the world, it occurred to her that he should not treat her like that.
Erden noticed Leticia moving uncomfortably and asked right away in amazement.
âWhatâs wrong with you? Did I make any mistake?â
âThatâs not it.â
Leticia shook her head.
âWell, the truth isâŚâŚ.â
Her words did not drop readily. She moved a few more times and managed to pluck up her courage and said,
âIâm not a wise man.â
âYouâre very modest.â
âItâs not that! Itâs just the language I used in my previous life. I remember my past life.â
In the end, I told him.
After exterminating the swarm of ants, she confessed to herself that she was so afraid that she might be caught by Erden.
Erden was astounded.
He didnât bat an eyelid even for a bit. But this problem was different.
As Leticia knows well, remembering a past life in this world is known as an ominous omen. Itâs worth being burned to death by a witch.
There was a moment of silence.
Suddenly, Erden uttered something.
âMadame, have you ever told anyone about it?â
It was a heavy voice. The tension was evident.
âNo.â
Leticia replied.
âIâve never done it before and Iâm not going to do it again.â
âThen can I ask you why you told me?â
âThatâs⌠because Erden protects me from everything, so I thought I shouldnât fool you at all. Being silent again, thinking that not only was it a lie, but it is also treachery if I donât tell the truth.â
âI see.â
Erden muttered.
âI see what you mean. Thank you for telling me. Wifeâs secret is something Iâll risk my life to keep.â
He spoke emphatically.
âFirst of all, Iâll pretend I havenât heard anything. Just pretend you have âspecial knowledgeâ as the grandmother says.â
âI will.â
Leticia nodded again.
Itâs very nice that she doesnât have to deceive anyone who treats her so kindly.
Her mind was a little relieved.
Her wandering gaze turned back to the book.
âFor some reason or other, I can read these letters fluently. If the book had been longer, I would have liked it though I felt sorry for it.â
Leticia picked up a thin book and flipped it over.
âThe next part will show us what the great sage did, right? I wish I could read it.â
âWeâll be right back.â
Erden said suddenly.
Leticia looked at him in surprise. He shrugged his shoulders.
âI promise. Weâll surely get to the back for this book.â
âHow?â
âThereâs a way.â

Erden answered back.
âYouâve given me an important secret, so Iâd like to tell you a secret about me too.â
His face turned to Leticia. No, it doesnât have to be that fair.
But apart from that idea, she is curious about Erdenâs secret.
