Youngest Scion of the Mages Chapter 69

The Magician’s Youngest Son Chapter 69

the seeker’s path.

A long way, about 300 km.

The sun was rising high, but the weather was very cold.

It was the middle of January in the year 223 of the Hypheon calendar. The period when the fiercest north wind blows.

Along with the fierce north wind, the cold air leaking from the ‘Sunflower Wilderness’ adjacent to the seeker’s path invaded Larsen and Lydia’s bodies.

Lydia trembled.

“Ugh. cold.”

Lydia launched a small spark into the air.

“warm. right?”

“Isn’t it a lot of mana consumption?”

It takes a lot of mana to keep ‘elemental magic’ floating in the air.

“are you okay. It’s a level that recovers on its own while walking.”

“… … .”

forgot for a while Although Lydia looks like a bitch, she is still one of the munchkin characters in the novel. From an early age she was already full of genius.

‘Surprisingly, I’m not cold.’

That fierce north wind and the chill of the sunflower wilderness. The temperature was already approaching minus 20 degrees, but Larsen didn’t feel that cold. It was thanks to Magner’s special training.

‘I thought I would freeze to death when I fell into the water fairy’s well.’

Compared to the cold at the time, it was a little better. Even at that time, I got naked. Now, he is well equipped with the robe Evelia gave him. Next to it, even the flames are floating. It wasn’t that cold.

It took about two days like that.

‘That’s it.’

300 km of roads.

There are about three shabby inns in the middle of the Seeker’s Path. That’s like one every 100 km. The name of the inn was ‘Fat Cat’.

‘It’s much shabby than I thought.’

stood in front of the inn The inn was an old two-story wooden building.

Kki-Ik-!

I opened the wooden door and went inside. Cobwebs were stretched from the ceiling, and small lizards unknown to me were scattered all over the floor.

An old man with glasses was sitting at the counter.

“Who are you?”

In front of Larsen’s eyes, a collection of settings that could only be seen by Larsen’s eyes unfolded.

[The fat cat is one of the bases run by the third force ‘Night Sound’.]

Externally, the world is ruled by the three great families and the Holy Empire. But besides that, there were obviously secret forces. It was set up by Cha Seong-min himself, and ‘Sound of the Night’ was also the largest group.

‘And [Night Sound] is also related to my father.’

It is a secret force.

However, behind the secret power is Decatra, the head of the famous magic family. Ironically, not only Descartes, but other factions also often had connections with these secret forces. No matter how powerful the three generations are, they cannot rule the world with their power alone.

‘And that man’s name is Blick.’

Larsen strode forward.

“I am a pilgrim. I’m going to take a day off.”

“Thirty thousand dollars a night. 35,000 grand with meals. Check-out is at 12:00, but as you can see, there are no guests. It’s okay if it’s a little late.”

Larsen nodded.

“Could you please show me to your room?”

First of all, you need to sew the first button well here. Because this is the starting point of the pilgrimage. Blick did not stand up.

“excuse me. Go up the stairs and go to the right. No. 3. Especially the largest room.”

Larsen got the key. As he tried to turn around, he asked again.

“Isn’t the weather very hot?”

“You’re a young man who likes to talk nonsense. The coldness of the sunflower field keeps me awake at night.”

mid-January.

It’s never hot.

“What kind of food should we eat on a hot day like this?”

Blick fixed his glasses. Lydia tilted her head, wondering what this meant. The flame of the [?] mark rose above her head and then disappeared.

“well. What does the boy want to eat?”

“On a day like this, a pint of beer and two slices of pizza are perfect.”

Blick laughed hee hee.

“I’ll prepare beer and pizza for tomorrow morning. But the boy is too young to drink beer.”

“Then I will play with the cat.”

This is the base of the secret force, ‘Night Voice’. But the sound of that night is just a stone’s throw from Mayton Street. quite contradictory. Same goes for greetings.

Too cold on a hot day.

Too hot on a cold day.

This is where contradictory greetings are the code.

Beer if you’re a kid.

If you’re a grown adult, candy.

This is also a password. It was also the reason why Decatra left the base of ‘Night Sound’ alone.

Blick also knew that Larsen was the 7th Prince from the start. Instead of being able to act as a base, she is allowed to give certain benefits to pilgrims among the children of the Maiton family. That was the reason ‘Sound of the Night’ could operate here.

and the last word.

[Then I will play with the cat.]

Cat is a word that means ‘fat cat’, which is the base here. To go on a pilgrimage with a cat. It means to get help from the cat.

“We have two cats at our inn. One is Hobbes. One is Bellbu. Hobbes is a skinny guy because he doesn’t eat, and Bellevue is a fat guy who eats too much. Which cat do you want to play with?”

Blick knew that Larsen was the 7th Duke, but he didn’t show it at all. He doesn’t even have to express himself. In fact, Blick had hoped that this day would never come. The moment this day came, the contract with Decatra was over. Here, it becomes difficult for him to do business any longer.

“It must cost a lot to play with Bellevue.”

“yes.”

Blick laughed.

‘Do you want money? The son of the Maiton family?’

The Mayton family has more prestige than any other family in the world. Can it be counted as one of the world’s top three famous houses? The scion of such a place wants money.

‘No matter how much I go on a pilgrimage, I usually get the support of my family.’

Mayton’s support is not received. However, support from the ‘outside’ side can be received. Because it is the power of the outside family. Most of the pilgrimages are made with the support of ‘mother’s family’. The maternal side also considers it a great investment. If the Mayton family’s son grows up and takes over the real power, that’s because the position of the maternal family also rises.

“But it might be more comfortable and enjoyable to play with Hobbs.”

play with hobbs

nimble and light Provides some artifacts necessary for pilgrimage. In addition, the authority to use the bases of ‘Night Sound’ is granted for two years. In fact, this is much more advantageous than money. Blick judged so.

“I like fat guys.”

“Okay. Do as you please.”

* * *

Senkan went to Decatra’s room with a letter.

“That’s right.”

Decatra laughed lightly. The youngest boy found the ‘Night Sound’. There he asked for exactly the money he did.

“How did Larsen know about this arrangement?”

It was an arrangement that no one knew about. From Ibelia, who is by far the best of her siblings, to Carlton, the sixth. No one visited ‘Fat Cat’.

“It looks like you got information from the Starlight Library.”

“Did you find it yourself among all those books?”

“Didn’t the librarian of Evian help… … . I think so.”

“Evian wouldn’t be able to help in the slightest. Aren’t librarians on the side of strictly neutrality?”

Librarians are on term contracts. You can study the many magic books and knowledge of the Maiton family. So they try not to get involved in any trouble at all. You can stay in the library for a long time only when there is no noise.

“Evian is especially friendly to the youngest, Confucius.”

“He’s an interesting guy.”

“What do you mean?”

“Ebelia and Evian too.”

And so am I.

“You have a strange knack for making your own side.”

I really liked the first move of the youngest, Decatra.

“Other guys didn’t have to go to such a shabby inn, and they didn’t have to read every single book in the library.”

Decatre was a long time ago. This arrangement was prepared before Larsen was even born. Because he foresaw this situation. Soso’s child cannot get help from his mother’s family. He had prepared in advance to help the child. not noticeable. All children were given equal opportunities.

“That clue was hidden in every library.”

“That’s right. He told all his children and his teachers not to neglect the library.”

“But really, the other kids didn’t need it.”

If you don’t have money, you can ask for money, and if you need an artifact, you can ask for an artifact. Everyone except Larsen. There was no need to use this arrangement.

“My lord. You look happy.”

Senkan looked at Decatra. It was the most expressive of all Decatra’s faces I’ve seen in the past 10 years.

“The fact that it was that foolish man who found my arrangement is both surprising and admirable.”

“We are just taking our first steps.”

“Fat cats are permitted to operate as they are.”

“All right.”

They got the permission of Decatra and are operating in a place quite close to Mayton Street, where Decatra’s breath comes. As physically close to the Mayton family, you can quickly read the news and situation of the Mayton family. Sound of the Night made a deal with Decatra because of that fact.

Decatra stood up from her seat. He looked out the window. A blue moon hung in the sky. he asked inwardly.

‘Can I expect it, Larsen?’

I kind of wanted to look forward to it.

* * *

the next morning.

A leather pouch lay by Larsen’s bedside.

‘when?’

I didn’t feel any presence at all. The leather pouch was full of gold coins.

‘Approximately 3 billion grains.’

When I saw this in the Starlight Library, I was nervous. Will there actually be arrangements by Decatra? In fact, writer Cha Seong-min is correct in setting it up for ‘Sounds of the Night’. However, he never directly stated that he had a connection with Decatra.

This result was derived by looking for clues in the Starlight Library and combining his knowledge as an artist, Seongmin Cha.

‘for 2 years… … There is no shortage of writing.’

3 billion grains is equivalent to 3 billion won in Korean currency. During the two-year pilgrimage period, this will be the driving force that will grow Lassen himself.

Lydia, who was sleeping in the bed next to her, woke up.

“Ahhhh! what? Are you eating?”

“did you sleep well?”

“huh. I dreamed of playing with a cat.”

“A dream of playing with a cat?”

Larsen felt a moment of dread.

[huh. I had a dream of playing with a cat.]

Whenever Lydia had such a dream, Kashin, the main character in the novel, had to be nervous. Because that meant an attack would follow soon.

‘Lydia’s precognitive dream!’

I’m not sure that the precognitive dream is 100% correct, but Cheonan was definitely sending a warning.

There is something around. But I couldn’t figure out exactly what it was.

After about 10 seconds, Larsen knew.

“Lydia.”

“huh?”

Larsen cast a strange spell on Lydia.

“Set this inn on fire. As big as possible.”
