125 Youngest Son of the Magic Family
Lydia tilted her head.
“why? Why are you here?”
Cassin was silent for a moment. He seemed to have a little trouble speaking. Larsen answered instead.
“This is one of the places where drug lords rule.”
“A drug lord? It is said that there is Seide.”
“It is known externally that it is the place ruled by Seid. yes… … .”
“stop. Larsen. Since it is the shame of the Seid family, I, the Seid family’s blood relative, will speak.”
Larsen nodded. Kashin continued. It is the place where the drug lord ‘Henker’ rules. It was a place where drug addicts and various criminals gathered, and it was also a city of pleasure and entertainment.
After hearing Kashin’s explanation, Lydia nodded.
“ah. So it’s like an unprotected area?”
If the Seid family made up their mind to conquer the place and strengthen their dominance, they could. But he doesn’t.
In order to rule that place, even the Seid family must shed blood, and the income they can get is insignificant compared to the shed blood. So I just left it alone.
So it became a place where the order of the famous family could not reach. It was also a place where the words of the drug lord ‘Henker’ were more important than the command or power of the world’s three famous families.
Kashin muttered.
“Still, it must be dangerous there.”
I agree that Larsen is also dangerous. So he asked.
“Kashin, do you have any good ideas?”
“I don’t think taking the Seid family’s swordsmen is a good option.”
“why?”
“If you want to take the swordsmen from the main family, you have to take them on a large scale. It could be a declaration of war against Henker. Whatever our intentions, they cannot help but feel threatened for their lives.”
Larsen nodded. There is a point in that statement. How can a man with a beast of prey maintain his composure? It’s the same reason.
said Lydia.
“Then why don’t you write a letter to Mr. Henker? We’re going there, so just tell them not to touch it.”
Larsen shook his head.
“The successor of the famous magic family. And the heir of the famous swordsmanship family is going to visit the [Great Northern Basin]? Not because of the honor of the family, and secondly, not because of our pride.”
Actually, Larsen doesn’t care about pride as long as there is a safe way, but Kashin is different. For Kashin, cause and pride are important. He has the personality of a protagonist in a novel.
Kashin said.
“I can’t bow my head to the drug lord Henker.”
“Why are you lowering your head? It’s nice to send a letter.”
“Because we are asking for permission to pass through.”
The heir to the famous swordsmanship family seemed unable to admit that fact. Larsen nodded. Everything Cassin said is correct.
‘surely… … . I’m not an ordinary 14-year-old.’
Since you are the author who created this place, you may have a much wider field of vision than most people, but Kashin is different. Kashin is a 14-year-old boy living in this world.
What did I do when I was 14? Looking at Kashin, he’s definitely not your average 14-year-old. He is gradually taking on the character of the main character in the novel.
Cassin said again.
“I think you can go in and out the front door confidently. There is no need to notify in advance.”
“The reason for the visit could be said to be a request from the fire witch [Persia].”
“that’s right.”
The two successors chose the forward method. I decided not to hide it and to open everything up.
said Larsen.
“And there. Surprisingly, the security will be good. There is a high probability that nothing will happen. As long as we don’t make a fuss.”
“okay?”
“It is said to be a lawless area where the power of the High Family cannot reach, but forces other than the High Family are clearly in control.”
There are laws that are a little more ruthless and cruel than those of the High House.
“It is a den of criminals and drug dealers. Could the society survive without a strong governing power? Isn’t the history of [Great Northern Basin] quite old?”
“As far as I know, it’s been over 30 years.”
“Having maintained that society for over 30 years means that there is a strong ruling power and an order of their own.”
Cassin chuckled.
“You’re right.”
Larsen’s party took the direction. We crossed the ‘Northern Mountains’ and headed to ‘Sodium’, a city of entertainment located in the ‘Northern Great Basin’ surrounded by the Northern Mountains.
* * *
An office full of white smoke. It smelled different. This is because it burns grass, which was named ‘five scented candles’ because it gives off five different scents when lit.
It was also an addictive drug that made people feel good and occasionally hallucinate.
A woman could be seen through the white smoke. She was wearing a black dress with red embroidery and sat cross-legged in a black chair, looking down at a man on her knees.
“The quality of the five-spice candle is poor.”
“sorry.”
“What was the name of the grower?”
“Curagora is a farmer. We have been supplying five-spice candles for seven years.”
The man put the five spice plants in his mouth and chewed them. He frowned a lot.
“Go and cut his throat.”
“… … All right.”
The kneeling man could not disobey the woman’s words. That woman’s words are the law of this place. This is where that woman rules. Her name is Henker. It was the name of a northern drug lord.
Henker blows a five-spice candle! Spit it out. a farmer. I got my hands on fertilizer.
“You should have eaten in moderation.”
Some expediency and illegality are tolerated. But this was too severe. The quality has gone down too much. Until they cross the line, they turn a blind eye to a lot of illegal activities, but if they cross the line, they are punished by death without mercy.
Soon after, a man brought a supply and demand.
“I cut my throat.”

Henker sat cross-legged, staring at the severed head.
“He killed me too comfortably.”
The cutting edge was too clean.
“Next time, give me more pain.”
“… … yes.”
“And I mean.”
Henker chuckled.
“I got a letter from the Fire Witch.”
One of Mayton’s successor candidates. A letter came from her 3rd Princess Persia. Two little boys who received my request are heading here.
“You mean the 3rd Princess Persia?”
“that’s right. what. don’t be nervous No matter how great Persia is, this is Seide territory anyway, and she is limited in what that woman can do.”
“… … yes.”
“The question is, why did you send me this letter?”
In this letter, only the ‘fact’ was written that the two little boys were heading to this place. There was nothing to guarantee their safety, or to test them, or anything.
“Dave. I tend to trust your head.”
“Thank you, master.”
“Why did Persia bother to send the letter?”
Henker grinned.
“Can I interpret this to mean that you know how to behave?”
Dave’s body trembled, playing the role of Henker’s henchman and tactician. Henker seemed to have his ego slightly hurt now. But he didn’t lie.
“It is interpreted that way. And Persia must also know that the master will interpret it that way.”
“You mean it was openly provocative.”
Henker’s smile widened.
“As if my pride was hurt and I wanted to kill both of those kids.”
“What do you plan to do?”
“You have to give your opinion. What do you think?”
“On the contrary, I think it is right to treat them with utmost respect.”
“Extreme hospitality? Why should I?”
“The identity of one is unknown, but one is definitely one of Mayton’s heirs. a fourteen-year-old boy. Why did he find the city of pleasure? The three major houses pay a lot of attention to their reputation and image. Besides, Larsen Mayton has been famous for being a bitch since ancient times.”
Henker nodded.
“That’s why it means to treat it with utmost respect.”
“A 14-year-old heir to a high family who visited the Great Northern Basin. It is judged that it is better to bury him socially than to kill him directly. I think Master knows very well how the fact that we have been treated so warmly will be seen by the people of the world. Mayton’s anger, in any case, will be directed not at us who treated it, but at the 7 Princes who were treated indiscriminately.”
Giving treats isn’t bad. They treated the heir of the High House in their own way. Mayton can’t be angry. If it is Mayton, yes. Even if I get angry, I will do it to ‘Seven Confucius’, not ‘Northern Great Basin’.
“It’s better for us if he goes crazy with drugs, by any chance.”
“That’s right.”
Henker sat cross-legged and rested his chin. he was lost in thought
“But who is the other guy?”
“If Persia wants you to step in and kill or injure them both, it is most likely the heir to a master swordsman.”
“Kashin Seid? Seid’s genius?”
“yes. If that happens, Mayton can clear his nose without even touching his nose. Because the enraged Seidga will destroy us.”
“Persia is also very mean.”
“Persia is not a person who rolls his hair like this.”
“You must mean that there is a reason why you have to roll your hair?”
Dave nodded.
“I’m not sure yet, but the Seids and Maytons might clash.”
“Hoo? Keep talking.”
“I’m not sure. Please listen with one ear and let it out with the other.”
“Okay, so let’s talk.”
Dave talked about the information gathered so far.
“… … That’s how it happened. If the Seid family declares war against the Maiton family because of that… … .”
“The war will last at least 10 years. Although swordsmanship is slightly more advantageous than magic due to normal characteristics, swordsmen have to cross the Black Sea.”
“Is the successor standing firm or not? That difference can change the future.”
“So Persia tried to use our hands to kill the two little boys?”
Henker inhaled the smoke of the quince. A highly addictive drug. Although it is a drug that causes hallucinations, Henker’s mind has become rather clear.
“If Larsen had died together in this place, I would have been able to take care of the justification.”
The Maitons didn’t kill Cassin out of a trick. We also lost one successor candidate. It’s an unfortunate accident. You can claim this.
Henker thought of something. He got up from his seat.
“Hmm. Is it a political issue?”
The dark red dress flowed down a little. Her white shoulder line was visible.
“It will be fun.”

Larsen’s party arrived at the ‘Northern Mountains’ without much difficulty. It is a huge mountain range that crosses the central and northern parts of the Betia continent.
Kashin said.
“We will have to camp from here.”
While camping, I started climbing the Northern Mountains. The mountain was steep and the road was not well laid out, but it wasn’t physically difficult.
3 days passed. He was occasionally attacked by wild beasts, but there were no major incidents.
“If I walk two more days, I think I will be on the road to the Great Northern Basin. It’s the only way up from the middle of the continent.”
Another day passed. That night was an exceptionally starry night. lit a bonfire Cassin sat down.
After a while, Cassin asked with a serious face.
“Lassen. Is there any dispute between the Maytons and the Sayds?”
“dispute?”
Larsen flinched for a moment.
‘no way.’
Judging from the progress of the novel, it seems that Seidga is getting to know about ‘that thing’ little by little. It felt like it was a little faster, though.
“huh. These days, whenever my father talks about the Mayton family, he expresses a subtle way of life.”
“You have no idea why?”
“Not sure. I’ll tell you when it’s clear.”
Larsen felt Kashin’s gaze.
‘Kashin knows I flinched.’
Then you can’t lie. The moment you tell a lie, trust is broken.
Larsen sighed.
“Whoa. It’s hard to say because I’m still not sure.”
If you have to tell the truth anyway, and if the truth will come out someday, it might be better to tell it now. It is better to be hit first, to surrender than to arrest.
‘I have to make at least Kashin on my side.’
like a writer I decided to try to solve this situation.
