Episode 57 Battle for disciples (2)
A vague voice came from the person covered in a robe.
“ok?”
“I don’t have any money.”
“… … .”
Lois answered briefly and turned her head away.
The robed figure, who had been standing in silence for a while, not knowing what he meant, belatedly grasped the situation and hurriedly opened his mouth.
“Ah, baby… “I am not a miscellaneous merchant.”
“Huh? “Didn’t you come here to sell things?”
“Hehe, what makes me look like a miscellaneous merchant?”
“You have to see something to know whether a person is a petty merchant or not.”
“ah!”
Only then did the unidentified person realize his condition and took off his robe.
Then gray hair and a long beard were revealed.
At first glance, his eyes, which showed wisdom, were unusual, so he never seemed like a miscellaneous merchant.
This made Lois more wary.
‘In the first place, real fraudsters are not noticeable on the outside! They say real con artists even use their eyes to deceive.’
Lois asked with mischievous eyes.
“What’s going on, Grandpa?”
“Hehehe, that’s it… … .”
An old man with kind eyes like Santa Claus stroked his beard and asked.
With a lot of anticipation.
“Wasn’t it you who applied the holy law to the person who was lying on the deck?”
Lois’s bewildered eyes narrowed even further.
‘What is this, this old man?’
I knew from the beginning the feeling of strong elemental power coming from inside the robe.
Nevertheless, the reason they treated the old man like a petty merchant was because they did not know what his intention was.
‘All is well! Just be careful and watch everything!’
Lois asked, taking a step back.
“… “Isn’t it me?”
“Hehehe, isn’t that right? I watched… … .”
“Huh, are you pretending not to see what you saw and then approach me?”
Lois, with a shocked expression, took a large step back.
The old man was greatly embarrassed by the look in Lois’s eyes as if she saw him as a dangerous person, and threw up his hand.
“Oh, no, that’s… “That’s not it!”
“What isn’t it?”
“therefore… … .”
When was the last time you looked at someone like this?
Regardless of age or gender, the eyes directed at oneself were always full of envy.
The old man with an embarrassed expression sighed.
“Whoa… okay. It was my fault for approaching him without knowing. “I’m sorry, baby.”
“hmm… … .”
Lois, who was about to take a step back in response to the sincere apology, slightly relaxed her guard and stopped taking a step back.
old man and child.
Two eyes meet.
Lois opened her mouth.
“so… “What business do you have with me?”
A deep smile spread across the old man’s lips as he expressed his thoughts clearly and accurately, which was unusual for a child.
A calm voice flowed from the old man’s mouth.
“Before that, I have something to ask you. “Can you answer that?”
“Listen. “What is it?”
“hmm… Well, how old are you this year?”
“How old do you look?”
“uh?”
Instead of answering his own question, the old man was taken aback by the question that came his way.
Seeing Lois’s expression as if she was asking her to guess, the old man spoke carefully.
“About six… … .”
Ssyuk-.
Before he could finish speaking, Lois took a step back.
“Two, seven!”
Sseup- Sseup-.
Two steps this time.
Every time she took a step back, Lois’ cheeks got puffier.
The old man instinctively realized that the age he had called was wrong and shouted urgently.
“Oh, ah… … .”
Suuu—
“Op… “Not ten!”
Stand tall.

Lois, who had been trying to retreat from the age of nine, finally stopped.
Lois smiled brightly, her cheeks puffing out in satisfaction.
“Hehe, correct answer! So what’s going on?”
“Hehehehe.”
Lois’ actions were extremely shrewd.
Even though he was teased by a child who was over half a century older than him, the old man did not get angry.
He looked happy again.
‘Ah! A genius is a genius for nothing!’
The child in front of me had talent.
That is not just a talent, it is a talent given from heaven.
That alone would be considered amazing, but he was an incredibly clever child.
The old man had fallen in love with Lois because of the conversation we had just had.
His eyes were full of affection and love.
The old man asked, taking two steps towards Lois.
“Have you ever had a teacher who taught you?”
“ok?”
Lois’ head tilted at the unexpected words.
But what truly surprised him happened next.
“no! What if you have a teacher? “Baby.”
“why?”
“Accept me as your teacher!”
“… ok?”
Lois’ mouth dropped open at the old man’s cry, which was almost like a confession of love.
“… … .”
For a moment, I was confused as I didn’t know what I heard.
Lois asked with a puzzled look.
“what… “Do you want me to accept it?”
“teacher! “Master!”
A look of confusion quickly spread across Lois’ face.
With that, he took five steps back.
But the old man’s obsession was great.
As soon as Lois took a step back, the old man approached her.
“Accept me as your teacher!”
“… “No, isn’t it usually the other way around?”
I’ve seen cases where someone begs to be accepted as a disciple, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone ask to be accepted as a teacher.
In response to Lois’ sullen answer, the old man smiled broadly and said,
“Hehehe, what does that matter? You have to seize the opportunity when it comes! How miserable would you be if you had a fortune right in front of you and missed it just by looking at it? “A courageous person wins valuable disciples!”
“… “What do you know about me?”
“I know, I know very well!”
“What?”
“He’s a very, very smart kid!”
“… “Is that the end?”
“I saw it clearly! The sacred law you have unfolded! Are you sure you were born with mental attributes? And at that age, he was already at Tier 4… “How can I just wait and see when there is such a treasure right in front of me!”
Lois’ mouth was tightly shut.
He gave the old man a puzzled look.
‘What on earth is this old man doing?’
You asked me to accept you as my teacher.
Lois asked, looking at the old man searchingly.
“great. That’s roughly it… What does your grandfather do? “How do you know whether my grandfather is a kidnapper or a swindler and ask me to become his disciple?”
“Achacha! this… “You still haven’t introduced me!”
Saying that, the old man took out a metal stick the size of his palm from his waist.
“Take a good look.”
The old man triumphantly took out a metal rod and began to infuse it with mana.
OK.
window-.
The metal rod, which was once as big as the palm of your hand, grew to 1.5 meters in size in no time.
The bar didn’t just get bigger.
Its appearance also changed to become more splendid.
“oh?!”
The metal rod with a silver body and a red aura looked quite cool.
‘It’s red… Is it fire attribute or mental attribute? ‘It feels familiar, so it’s a mental attribute!’
The red aura was a tangible mental attribute power.
The combination of silver and red caught the eye.
In particular, the lump of elemental power that blazed like the sun at the tip of the pole was the Hwaryong Peak.
‘That’s cool…’ ‘I should buy one of those too!’
Lois’s eyes sparkled brightly.
The corner of the old man’s mouth went up without hesitation in response.
“How do you feel?”
“it’s awesome!”
“yes? How can you accept me as your teacher now?”
“why?”
“ok?”
The child and the old man blinked at each other with expressions of confusion.
It was the old man who spoke first.
“Why, why? Are you saying you didn’t change your mind after seeing this?”
The old man thrust a metal bar at him.
However, Lois’ expression remains unchanged.
Rather, it was a face that said he didn’t know anything.
“What is that?”
“You don’t know about mana sticks?”
“ah? Was that a mana stick?”
“… … ?!”
The old man’s eyes widened.
A child practicing holy magic doesn’t know about mana sticks.
At that moment, a thought crossed the old man’s mind.
‘So, you don’t have a mana stick on your body?!’
It was an old man who immediately followed the child as he left.
However, no matter where Lois looked around, there was no mana stick in sight.
There was astonishment on the old man’s face.
‘Hehehe, then… A little while ago, you performed a sacred technique without a mana stick?’
It wasn’t impossible.
However, such a method was not only very difficult but also extremely inefficient.
In order to use a tier 4 holy method without a mana stick, you need the attribute power to use 2-3 tier 4 holy methods.
Also, controlling attribute power without a mana stick was not an easy task.
However, the child in front of me didn’t seem to mind even though he was using holy magic without a mana stick.
‘how… How much attribute power do you possess?!’
There were often people like that.
Those who are born with significantly more attributes than others.
The child in front of you is probably one of those types.
Innately has many elemental powers and a high sense of control.
Even without thinking about it too deeply, I could say that it was truly an incredible talent.
‘I… You judged wrong. I thought it was an unprocessed gemstone… Isn’t this a treasure that has already been crafted?’
As I thought about that, my greed for Lois grew even more.
‘I didn’t plan on showing you this.’
However, if you were to collect the treasure right in front of you, it was not the time to hide your funds.
I had to show everything and embrace him in my arms.
After making a decision, the old man collected the mana stick and took something out of his pocket and showed it to Lois.
With a very triumphant expression.
“Now, if this is the case, how much trust will you have in me?”
What the old man saw was a small platinum-colored plaque.
It was an unusual item with a small crown engraved in the center of the plaque.
The old man had a confident expression on his face this time.
but…
“What is that again? Does it look like platinum at first glance? “It must be expensive.”
Royce had touched quite a few expensive items while hanging out in Gene Locker’s warehouse.
Thanks to that, I immediately guessed that the material the old man was holding out was platinum.
The old man’s face became perplexed at Lois’ answer.
“Hey, you don’t know this?”
“yes.”
“What?! “What did your teacher do when he didn’t even teach you this basic common sense!”
“I don’t have a teacher.”
“… “You don’t have a teacher?”
“yes.”
“Then how did you learn the Holy Law?”
“Alone, reading a book.”
“her… !”
The old man sighed when he heard Lois say that he had learned the Holy Law on his own.
A light flashed in his eyes.
‘You must catch it!’
If only this child were available, his castle, which had been called second place for 1000 years, would be able to stand tall at the top.
The old man was filled with confusion and anticipation.
With a benevolent smile on his face, he calmly began to explain.
“Baby, this is a certification plaque issued by the Four Continents Holy Law Research Society.”
“oh?”
“And platinum means tier 2.”
“Oh oh!”
“also!”
The old man held the plaque close to Lois’s face and tapped the small crown with his finger.
“This small crown symbol represents the main tower of the castle tower!”
“wow!”
Lois looked at the old man with new eyes.
Tier 2 realm and floating tower master.
In the human world, it was a level and position that was quite powerful.
In fact, the old man was the strongest human being Lois had ever met.
But Lois was actually thinking differently.
‘Even people like this don’t understand my state.’
A dragon whose human body structure is different from that of a human.
The only being who could fathom that level was the same dragon.
When Lois stared at him, the old man cleared his throat and said.
“Hmm, my name is Aiden. “I am in charge of the vice, tower, and main positions at the ‘Tower of Dawn,’ the second largest building on the Autumn Continent!”
Lois’s eyes, which had been sparkling at Aiden’s confident self-introduction, lost their shine.
At the same time, Lois’ interest quickly cooled.
