Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 127
Episode 127
Winter War
“Elic!”
At that moment, Hayes urgently rushed forward and hugged Elric. Her face was filled with concern for her younger brother.
“Are you okay? “Are you hurt anywhere?”
Elric was covered in dust. In addition, her body was full of large and small scratches, so it was natural that her eyes were filled with worry.
“Fine…!”
While Elric was trying to comfort his sister, he collapsed without realizing it.
Hayes was startled and helped him up.
Grumble.
“…?”
Suddenly, my eyes widened at the sound of snoring.
Hermann and the Blue Hawk, who were trudging along behind Elric, burst into laughter.
“Don’t worry. It’s just that I fell asleep because I consumed too much magical power. From the looks of it, the wound will heal soon.”
“Is that so?”
Hayes took Elric’s pulse in response to Herman’s words and only then sighed in relief.
As he said, Elric’s pulse was very calm. The same goes for wounds. What kind of magic was used was that it was self-recovering so quickly that it was clearly visible to the naked eye.
“Still, it’s true that you’ve lost a lot of energy, so if you rest for a few days, you’ll be fine.”
“thank you.”
Only then did Hayes realize that Hermann and the Blue Hawk were of great help in helping Elric escape the explosion safely without being seriously injured.
I belatedly bowed my head politely, and Hermann waved his hand as if it was nothing.
and.
[Thank you.]
Hermann was slightly surprised when he heard Augustine’s voice in his ears, but then smiled calmly and nodded.
like that.
All the chaos in the black snowfield has ended.
* * *
Elric dreamed while he was unconscious, albeit briefly.
General Dong was standing there.
But General Dong no longer looked like a doll.
The facial features were perfectly formed and the expressions were free. There was a smile on his face that made you wonder if he had expected this child to smile like this.
Wouldn’t it be like this if the god of camellia took on the form of a child? Elric had that thought for a moment.
“thank you.”
“Is that what you came to say?”
Nod.
As General Dong nodded his head in agreement, Elric could not help but burst into laughter without realizing it.
Then he stretched out his hand towards General Dong.
General Dong flinched for a moment when an unfamiliar hand approached him, but soon he closed his eyes tightly and courageously surrendered his head to the touch.
If anyone sees this, they’ll think I’ve been bothering them a lot. Elric scratched his cheek and gently stroked General Dong’s head.
‘…ah. It’s true that I did bother him a bit.’
Elric felt a moment of remorse, but he shamelessly decided to step forward.
General Dong’s expression gradually became calm. Like a cat sitting on a warm cushion, it quietly enjoyed the touch and then slowly opened its eyes.
“Go over there and have fun. Don’t cause trouble. got it?”
I don’t know where General Dong is going. It may simply be replaced by magic power and seep into the seal of the winter world, or it may be followed to some kind of place where Otto Han’s spirit is ‘supposed’ to be.
But wherever it is.
Elric didn’t want her to get hurt anymore. I wanted to smile and not feel lonely.
General Dong was just a waste of time, but in truth, he was no different from a child who loved to play. He was a child as clear as glass who had been hurt countless times.
General Dong nodded as if he understood, then looked up at Elric with round eyes and asked.
“Are you going to play next time?”
Next time too.
At those words, Elric widened his eyes as if he had never thought about it.
Then he smiled and nodded.
“of course. “Don’t bully me because I’m older.”
Caw!
Laughing the same way that children of that age laugh.
General Dong quietly disappeared.
* * *
Elric quietly opened his eyes and raised his upper body.
Did General Dong perform some kind of magic before leaving?
My body, which I thought was heavy from fatigue, felt refreshed. My mind was also much clearer than before.
‘How long have I been passed out?’
Elric glanced around.
Gorgeous decorations and curtains. It seemed like he had returned to Antromov’s court.
When I looked out the window, the moon was rising. I was wondering if I should close my eyes a little longer and then tell him that I woke up, but suddenly the door opened.
“Are you awake?”
King Velence was entering the room with Irina.
Elric quickly tried to get up, but King Velence quickly approached him and shook his head, telling him not to do so.
“Don’t do that, just lie down. “Why is the patient moving carelessly?”
For a moment, Elric was about to say that he was healed, but he thought it would be strange to even say that, so he nodded and sat down on the bed again.
‘It’s annoying to get up.’
The mattress was much more comfortable than I expected. I also wondered where I could get something like this.
“How did you know I woke up?”
“Dongbaek told me.”
“The God of Camellia?”
Elric then realized that the Camellia God and Mephisto were not visible by his side and he tilted his head.
Seeing as they both disappeared together, I think it was for the same reason. Is something going on?
“Dongbaek, please take a walk in the garden for a while. “I have a favor to ask you.”
King Velence read Elric’s question and answered it for him, then separately asked him to deliver what he had brought to Irina.
Irina quietly stepped in front of Elric and held out the booklet she had brought. It was a booklet made of material that looked quite old.
Elric took it in an instant and then tilted his head. The booklet was an old book that looked quite old.
“What is this? “I have already received the treasure map and research materials that I originally planned to give you…”
“This is the diary that King Yulho left behind.”
“…?”
Elric opened his eyes wide.
For some reason, Irina’s hand was shaking a lot as she handed me the booklet.
If that’s the case, then it’s something that’s considered important in the royal family, so why give it to yourself?
King Velence spoke with an expression that still made it difficult to guess what was going on.
“Actually, I found it by chance while searching through the library last night. However, while searching through the contents, I was able to find some interesting passages. “I’ve bookmarked it, so please check it out.”
Elric wondered what King Velence had discovered, so he opened the bookmark section and quickly looked at the contents.
It was written in the beastman script, so it took quite a bit of time to interpret.
Still, Elric was able to quickly understand the contents without much difficulty.
and.
Soon his eyes shook violently.
February 14th.
He found an interesting human and brought him to the tribe. The human, who said that he was taken in by an unknown beast when he was young, had blond hair and green eyes, which are rare among humans. The guy who uses strong body techniques is…
February 16th.
Humans who wondered if they would be able to integrate into the tribe were able to dispel those concerns and quickly became friends. I still had conflicts with Ralph and others, with whom I had conflicts when I first came in…
February 17th.
I was wondering if I should settle down now, but a human recommended a place…
February 29th.
The human seemed particularly interested in my rigid body technique. Now that I think about it, the rigid body technique he uses is somehow very similar to mine. Even though they are the same Gangseojutsu, the characteristics are different depending on the school, so they can never be similar. Moreover, his work seemed somehow unfinished…
March 31st.
Recently, there have been more and more strange phenomena occurring. There was a rumor that a chilly blizzard was approaching and that some tribes had already decided to take refuge. I think I heard from the elders of the clan that something similar to this happened a long time ago…
April 15th.
As victims were mass produced, preparations were made to confirm them…
April 16th.
I’m about to leave the road. But what I’m curious about is what kind of food does that guy feed to the tree that makes it grow so well…
It was only for a moment, but a deep silence fell in the room he was in.
Sharak.
Sharak.
All you can hear is the quiet sound of the pages turning.
Elric couldn’t even breathe properly while reading each word of the diary.
It was proof that Elric was greatly shocked.
‘It was just an arrangement… wasn’t it?’
How on earth can something like this happen?
The contents written in the diary all contained stories of what he had experienced during the arrangement.
Although the name is not described in detail, it is written as ‘human’.
The introduction of the settlement where today’s Antromorphs are located, the conflict with Ralph, and the fact that General Dong came and presented himself as a guide were not things that could be passed over in vain.
No, even without all that.
The fact that he coveted King Yulho’s Gangseojutsu is definitely a reference to himself.
and.
The end of the diary that continues in relation to General Dong contained this content.
May 6th.
I met General Dong, whom I had only heard of as a legend in the corner of my room.
May 7th.
The damned guy who was spying on my physical skills has disappeared. Did you come to say your final goodbyes? And then it disappeared like a ghost.
As if everything was my illusion.
But I remembered the name accurately.
The name is Elric Mervinger.
He was said to be a distant descendant of Mervinger.
“…!”
Elric had completely forgotten even about breathing.
I lifted my head up.
The shock that came unexpectedly at a completely unexpected moment threw his mind into complete confusion.
And then he touched the magic sword hanging around his neck with his hand.
What on earth is this ‘arrangement’ that you know?
“First of all, I brought it because I thought something was strange because it was related to Mervinger and Elric was mentioned. Of course, Merbinger’s ancestor who used the same name may have had a relationship with King Yulho, but I still think I should tell you.”
Elric nodded at what King Velence said.
My mind was still full of confusion, but I still had to say hello.
“thank you. “And if it’s not rude, maybe…!”
“yes. If you are Elric, you can take it. Instead, please keep it with care and return it to us, as it is important food for us as well.”
“…Thank you for your understanding.”
Elric took another deep breath and tried to control his confused mind.
If you think about it, there were so many strange things about the arrangement he experienced this time that it could not be said that it was simply a world of imagination.
Everything was so realistic and the characters were vivid.
‘As if he were really alive…!’
However, there were too many things that made no sense to dismiss it as reality.
Just creating a time warp to the past 400 years ago was a level of magic that made no sense, but the mission could be repeated over and over again until it was successful.
No matter how miraculous the magic was, I had never heard of that kind of magic before.
If such a thing were possible. It would be like gaining the power of an omnipotent god, but why did Mervinger fall like this?
‘Otto Han asked you to find his saga…? ‘Maybe there’s some secret hidden there.’
Elric felt like he had to go south of the wall as soon as possible. In fact, there are so many questions that I need to understand through this trip to the north.
‘I have to go and see the report that King Yulho left behind. If you really remembered me, you might have put something there.’
Elric felt sorry for his companions, but he decided to tell them that they should leave the black snowfield as soon as tomorrow dawns.
but.
As if his wish had been granted, work was becoming more urgent.
bang!
“Elric!”
Suddenly the room opened wide and Sean rushed in. He was out of breath, as if he had been in a hurry.
Did something happen? Elric frowned when he realized his friend’s complexion was pale.
“Thank goodness… I was wondering what would happen if he didn’t wake up.”
“What’s going on?”
“An emergency dispatch has arrived from the place we just saw. Please return quickly.”
“sudden change?”
Sean nodded heavily.
“They say war has broken out in the empire.”
