Youngest Scion of the Mages Chapter 71

The Magician’s Youngest Son Chapter 71

A gray space where even time seems to have stopped. The only creatures with color here were Larsen and Lydia.

A man appeared there.

He looked to be in his mid-50s. As if she were a sorceress, she was wearing a robe, and in her right hand she held an emerald-colored staff.

Larsen could feel it as soon as he saw it.

‘korean?’

When I first possessed this world, I felt that Heira and Hampton were ‘races of a fantasy world’. But the man in front of me now seemed like a Korean.

said Lydia.

“Oh? Are you a person? Aren’t you human?”

I sniffed and smelled it. She doesn’t smell anything! she said clearly. Larsen also noticed that the ‘Korean’ was not a person.

‘I’m not a person.’

A hologram made of magic. It was not a real person, but more like a magically programmed video. said the Holy Grail.

[A senile old man!]

The Holy Grail seemed to know who that man was. There is only one person that the Holy Grail expresses this way. Archmage Kirtel. That figure seemed to be what Kirtel was like when he was alive.

“My name is Kirtel. Nice to meet you, Huin.”

“… … .”

It wasn’t a conversation. Because Kirtel now is just a programmed video. Kirtel said again.

“I am asleep in the North Sea.”

North Sea.

the northern end of the world. It is a land that mankind has not yet conquered. An abandoned land where humans can’t live, in the bitter cold and blizzards.

“I hope Huin will wake me up someday.”

“… … .”

“If my successor refuses to wake me up, that too will be my destiny.”

Larsen was able to hear several stories from Kirtel.

“For the distant future, I sealed myself in the North Sea.”

“In order to have my seal unsealed, I have prepared arrangements to train future generations.”

“However, it is necessary to test the qualifications of the latter.”

About 15 minutes passed. I was able to hear many stories from Kirtel. Then the first test was given.

“To continue my progress. to follow in my footsteps. There are conditions that must be pre-determined. The first is the [Cheonan] you have. The second is the [Holy Grail].”

Larsen doubted his ears for a moment.

‘The Holy Grail?’

Maybe the first test.

“Go find the Holy Grail. That’s the first test. go to hailan If their lives are maintained, they will live there. If you don’t win their hearts and make a pact of fire, you won’t get the true Holy Grail.”

I guess it was right. Find the fire clan and make a fire contract to obtain the true meaning of the Holy Grail. So, it seemed that the first test was to find the ‘Transcendence Holy Grail’ rather than the ‘Fire Chalice’.

Kirtel has disappeared. The gray-colored world has returned to normal. The wind blew. A wooden sign creaked. I saw Hangeul under the sign.

[Go find the Holy Grail.]

If Kirtel was a real Kirtel, you could feel the Holy Grail melted in Larsen’s heart, but Kirtel is a fake. Larsen stood in front of the sign again. He raised his mana just like he did the first time. Because he already has the Holy Grail.

Letters were engraved in the air. in Korean.

[I was waiting. My successor.]

In an instant, a gray space opened up again. Kirtel had a slightly more benevolent expression than when I first saw him.

“Before this story, I would like to tell you a surprising fact. It’s about where I come from.”

“I am from Korea.”

“It took me 500 years to get to this position as a person from Korea, where even the magical letter ‘M’ does not exist.”

“I had no teachers. Arrangements did not exist. So it took a long time. He wandered a lot.”

Legendary great mage Kirtel said she had made up her mind. I will make sure that my descendants do not wander like I did. I will tell you a faster, safer and surer way. He said he was so committed.

“Finding the Holy Grail is a good way to become a truly great mage.”

Kirtel continued.

“More important than the quantity and quality of effort is the direction of effort. No matter how hard you try in the wrong direction, you cannot go the right way. You can only go on the right path by working in the right direction. Later generations will call this road the [Magic Road].”

Information that was not released when we first met. from Korea. 500 years of time. Master and Arrangements. And to the magic road.

“Since I passed my first test and obtained qualifications, I would like to arrange a proper arrangement for my successor.”

Kirtel’s figure turned to powder and disappeared little by little. Little by little from her toes. Her knees are gone and her waist is gone. The powder seemed to be scattered here and there, then it clumped together on Larsen’s palm. It hardened into one shape.

‘teeth?’

It was a canine tooth about 15 cm long. Before anyone knew it, Kirtel’s figure had completely disappeared and only her voice could be heard.

-If you grow according to my arrangement, you will understand everything.

-Take a look at Cheonan. My first arrangement will be here.

The gray world has returned to normal. Lydia asked.

“Larsen, Larsen. Where is Korea?”

“well.”

Was the word Korea a coincidence? no. Clearly, Kirtel is from the ‘Korea’ that Lassen knew.

“Are you going to break the seal?”

“I don’t know.”

I do not know yet. What did Kirtel want, and why did he seal himself in the North Sea? I didn’t know as of now.

“But what is it? is it a tooth? big!”

The first arrangement that Great Mage Kirtel speaks of. That arrangement is a fang. It was a bit odd. Following Kirtel’s words, I checked with Cheonan.

[Name: Fang of Oath]

[Feature: Fangs imbued with the oath of the Keumho Tribe]

This was all the information Larsen could interpret with the Cheonan. Larsen put the fangs in his inventory.

‘It’s complicated.’

I was possessed, but a long time ago. The great mage that exists in the legend is actually from Korea. He sealed himself, and he was looking for a successor to release the seal. To think that the mage correctly pointed out the direction to go.

‘If you follow me, you’ll understand.’

I didn’t think of breaking Kirtel’s seal right now. There are too many mountains to overcome to think that far.

Larsen took a step.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going in the direction of the Hollen Empire.”

I took the road in the direction of the Hollen Empire. If you walk along this road, you will come to the ‘Unknown Cliff’. The Unknown Cliffs are two huge cliffs between the path from ‘The Seeker’s Path’ to the ‘Hollen Empire’. There is a road between two cliffs lined up like a folding screen. This place is called ‘Silk Road’.

As we walked along the road, we saw another wooden sign.

[→]

[Silk Road]

It was a very old sign. It seemed to be out of control lately.

“Lassen. But why are all the signs so old?”

“Because magic has developed too much.”

“Do signs get old when magic develops?”

“Important bases can be moved through the movement gateway. There is no need for signs.”

To be more precise, it was correct to say that magic was commercialized rather than developed.

Movement gateway technology has already existed for hundreds of years.

Rather than the technology itself developing, it was correct to say that the technology was widely disseminated.

“But why don’t we use movement gates?”

“Something happened to the unknown cliff.”

Not all of Kirtel’s arrangements will be fulfilled or obtained. Larsen’s destination was actually not the ‘Unknown Cliff’ but the ‘Hunter’s Grave’.

“Why are you there?”

“I will find [the Crow Clan] there.”

The arrangement of the legendary great mage, Kirtel. ‘Cause I just can’t pass it up

* * *

3 days passed.

While camping, Larsen and Lydia visited the ‘unknown cliff’. Huge cliffs lined up like folding screens.

Larsen raised his head and looked up at the sky. Towards the sky, two cliffs rose high. The cliff seemed to reach the sky.

‘first… … Let’s check the first arrangement.’

Great mage Kirtel’s arrangement. It seems that the arrangement is not far away. At least clues can be grasped here at the unknown cliff.

Larsen walked with Lydia. A road through the cliffs. Although the weeds grew thick, it was once used as a trade route, so it was a fairly well-maintained road. Several wagons were built as a road that could move.

Larsen threw Grand all over the place.

“Why are you throwing money away?”

“Because the crows love shiny things.”

“Crow clan? Those cowards?”

Crows are a beast race. In ancient times, beasts were classified as beasts, but now, beasts are classified as humans.

Although it differs depending on the species, races that have egos, intelligence, and live in their own ecosystems like humans.

The crow clan is also one of those beast races. They looked like humans, but were very short.

Height similar to that of a 7-year-old child. It was characterized by a pair of black wings instead of arms and a beak instead of lips.

“Ugh. Not worth the money.”

Okay. There are 3 billion grains in hand. What I’m throwing now is 1 gr. Another day passed by throwing money here and there. The Crow Clan was caught in Larsen’s Cheonan. They clung here and there to the cliffs and looked this way.

‘He’s interested in Grand, but he seems to be wary.’

The crow clan didn’t like humans. A long time ago. Humans plucked the wings of the crow clan, which had weak combat power, and made luxury goods. Aversion or fear of humans is inherent in the instincts of the crow clan.

Lydia said with a yawn.

“My dad did. They say you can’t do anything with the crows.”

“why?”

“Because they are so cowardly. You said you were afraid of people.”

“I see.”

Lydia straightened her shoulders and pretended to be proud.

“So what Larsen is doing now is a waste of time.”

“You don’t like wasting time?”

“no. good.”

Lydia lay down on the floor.

“I like being lazy.”

Larsen also lay down. As if there was no intent to attack at all. Then he snapped his fingers and tossed Grand here and there.

Clink.

1 grain fell to the ground.

Larsen bounced one grain a little higher.

The sunlight that just happened to leak through the clouds met him and shimmered. Eventually, one of the crows clinging to the cliff spread its wings.

Carefully, he landed on the ground and swallowed the coins. It looked like a dove feeding.

Larsen didn’t care and continued tossing the money around. Time passed just like that.

After three days, the Crows were no longer wary of Larsen.

“Glitter. shiny things.”

“Glitter. shiny things.”

They continued to swallow the grains scattered here and there.

As a result, more and more crows gathered. The number is about 30 or so. Larsen threw Grand again.

Lydia lay on her chin and watched the crows.

“Hmm.”

Lydia knew. Larsen is sparing her Grand. She sprayed much less than she did at first. And I could see it again.

“Have the cowards come closer?”

Another day passed.

The crow clan now huddled in front of Larsen, focusing only on Larsen’s finger.

Larsen threw away only 12 grains that day. He sprayed one every two hours.

And another day passed. Eventually, one of the Crow Clan came close to Larsen.

“human. goldfinch. more. Are there any?”

Larsen grinned.

“goldfinch. A lot.”

It’s because it’s difficult to get them to approach you, but there are many things you can get from the crow clan that has let their guard down. This is what Seongmin Cha set up.

Larsen held out the gold coin himself. The crows who talked to Larsen quickly swallowed one grain with their beaks.

“Are there any more?”

“There is another one.”

gave me one more The crow clan burped. I came closer to Larsen hesitantly.

“me. rich now.”

asked carefully.

“if. me. favor. Can you pay me back?”

What Larsen was aiming for came true. Larsen opened the subspace and took out the item. It was [Fang of Oath].

“I want to find the owner of this tooth.”

Crow clans gathered in one place. Surrounding Larsen, he gazed intently at the Fang of the Oath. one of the dogs said.

“me. this. know.”

The crow clan caws at the same time! It made a sound.

“favor. Let’s pay it back.”
