Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 150

Episode 150 :

Otto Han

“He’s gone in the end.”

Otto Han quietly looked at the spot where Elric had disappeared, turned his back, and then slowly turned his body in the opposite direction.

Before he knew it, his face had even more wrinkles than before.

Apparently, until Elric left, his skin was so clean that he had a strong image of an old gentleman.

For a moment, it seemed as if he had accepted the turbulence of decades of time all at once.

His skin was full of age spots, and his eyes were hard to focus. My back was bent and I couldn’t straighten it up easily.

Elric might not know it, but he had handed over the last magical power he had left in this world to Elric.

No matter how talented Elric was, it was thanks to his hidden hard work that the magic circuit was completed so quickly.

Will those arrogant descendants ever realize that their ancestors suffered this much?

Even if I knew, I wondered if I would really be grateful.

Of course, even if that wasn’t the case, Otto Han had no intention of blaming Elric.

In the first place, he revitalized the family, went through all kinds of hardships, and made arrangements like this because he never expected anything in return.

Rather, it can be said that it was a work closer to self-satisfaction.

And now that all that work is done.

Otto Hahn smiled faintly at the fact that he could finally receive the rest he had been waiting for.

I don’t know if she will be waiting for me in the other world.

Even if that wasn’t the case, he thought that he would pursue it to the end and beg to be accepted again.

Slurp –

Otto Hahn’s afterimage quietly disappeared from the white world.

“The next guy is going to have a really hard time.”

Only the words he left behind resonated softly like an echo.

“Huff, gasp, gasp!”

Sophia had to run away to see if Elric would think differently.

She was out of breath, but the only thought in her mind was to get out of here.

Then, when I reached the end of the dungeon.

“ha…!”

Only then was she able to sigh in relief.

From here, even if Elric comes after me, there will be some way to escape.

Is that why?

For a moment, Sophia felt fortunate to have survived, but at the same time, she felt sad about what was left in the dungeon.

‘If I brought even a little of it with me…’

Under imperial law, didn’t the original ownership of the dungeon belong to the person who first discovered it?

So, if you think about it, it meant that the ownership of this dungeon also belonged to you, the only survivor of the team.

Although she was now running away as if she was being chased, from her perspective, Elric was no different from a robber who robbed a dungeon.

‘What do we do? Should I file a lawsuit and take it away?’

Even though I thought that there was nothing good about incurring Elric’s wrath, I couldn’t completely give up my lingering attachment and greed for the dungeon.

Fortunately, he left behind some evidence that he was the discoverer of this place.

Fortunately, there was a lover on the court’s side who I played with on a regular basis… so it seemed like I might be able to extract some of it in the name of settlement money, even if I couldn’t claim complete ownership.

Even though she was like that, her feelings were different when she fell into the water and when she was rescued.

What can I do? That’s how I originally learned and grew up.

And Sophia liked to interpret and enjoy everything in the world to her advantage.

good. Let’s do that.

As soon as Sophia finished thinking, her eyes changed and she prepared to leave the forest.

Then.

“…what?”

Sophia had to straighten up instead of trying to walk out of the cave.

The air… was too cold.

Not even a single sound of an insect could be heard.

All I can hear is the cold wind rustling through the blades of grass.

The moment you take even one step outside the cave, you die.

That thought kept ringing in my head.

I have to get out of here… that’s what I’m thinking.

“She’s a girl with pretty good sense.”

The problem was that that very brief hesitation hastened her death.

Before she knew it, Sophia could see people quickly approaching the cave entrance.

They are all knights who boast of their fierce prowess… no, fighting dogs.

Although they wore armor and helmets symbolizing knights, their temperament was completely different from those who raised swords for honor and pride.

Fighters who are driven only by desire and commands.

Like her, I felt the unique dampness that only those who live in the shadows exude.

Then, the moment she saw the blue wolf drawn on the cloak they were wearing… Sofia had to let out a silent scream.

‘Cheongrang…!’

Even in the Blue Lion family, which is famous for its fairness, the cleaners are the only ones who work in the shadows and take care of all kinds of miscellaneous tasks.

Why did they appear here?

I wondered what the wizard Rick had to do with them…

‘Rick…? It was Elric Mervinger! Lascent’s hero! The one who defeated Cheongrang…!’

Those living in the shadows were vaguely aware of the events surrounding Lascent City.

The turmoil occurred when the Blue Lang Group 2 and 3, under orders from Paul Weil, chased after Isabel and became involved with Elric Mervinger in the process.

Did you say that Paul Weil’s anger was so great that he almost caught Isabel but then lost it?

I also heard that they chased after Elric Mervinger diligently, but stopped mid-track when they eventually found out that he was the head of Mervinger.

however.

It seems that in the meantime, he decided to take out his sword again.

Sophia unfortunately got caught up in the process.

‘We have to resolve the misunderstanding somehow…!’

If you tell me Elric’s location and the structure of the dungeon, you might be able to survive. Sophia tried to say something to somehow prove her worth.

Squeak!

Already before that, Cheongnang’s sharp teeth were biting into her neckline.

“I’m sorry, but I received orders not to leave any survivors here either.”

Thanant, the leader of the Blue Lang Team 1, smiled coldly and pulled out the sword stuck in Sophia’s chest.

Clap!

Blood leaked out from the fallen corpse, soaking the floor.

“Going inside.”

According to Thanant’s order, all members of Cheongrang, including Team 1, were sent into the dungeon at once.

“You’ll be able to bring Elric Mervinger’s head with you this time, right?”

Madness and anger flashed in Paul Weil’s eyes.

The more he did this, the more the imitator Hilton’s head bowed.

“We will be able to do it.”

“You know very well that I don’t want such an ambiguous answer, right? It’s not that you have to be able to do it, you have to do it. “Hilton, you know very well that what you’re doing isn’t all that great these days, right?”

Hilton couldn’t raise his head.

This was because he knew very well that whatever he said here would be nothing more than an excuse to his lord.

And the lord always hoped for a successful outcome and never tolerated failure or excuses.

The only reason he is still alive is because he has made great contributions to solidifying his position.

But now even that was almost in danger.

‘Elric Mervinger’s head… I definitely need it.’

From the time when Elric Mervinger became Lascent’s hero and Isabelle became a victim, ‘threatened for her life by her uncle who coveted the position of head of the family.’

The notoriety surrounding Paul Weil spread out of control.

Because of that, even those within the family who had shown support for Paul withdrew their support.

It was a scandal that the knights, who had taken pride in the perception that the Weil family was a ‘fair and fair family’ thanks to Hermann’s activities, could not tolerate.

A lion must be strong and strong, but he must also act honorably.

But Paul couldn’t do it. Although he could be the leader of wolves, he was not qualified to be a lion.

Of course, unless Isabelle, who had no ability, could inherit the family, the knights’ support would have had no choice but to lean towards Foul at some point.

The problem was that in the meantime, a rumor spread that Hermann had recovered from his paralysis and opened his eyes.

In addition, the Blue Hawk, who had been following Herman for a long time and serving as the ‘elder’ of the Blue Lion family, sided with Isabel.

Naturally, the knights had no choice but to busy themselves to find out whether the rumor was true.

Paul had to somehow find out whether it was true or not, while also carrying out a plot to slander Hermann.

It may be true that Hermann happened, but the implication is that he will never be able to hold a sword again.

In the meantime, the common thought of Paul and Hilton was that they had to take control of the family.

and.

In fact, the two people’s plan seemed to have achieved some results.

While Herman defeated the assassins sent by Paul and followed Elric to the Black Snowfield for recovery, Paul succeeded in filling most of the key positions in the family with his own people.

But Paul didn’t know.

The fact that the plan he wanted to implement was all in Isabel’s palm, and the plan to respond to it was already being made separately behind the scenes.

Hermann and Isabelle were never in a hurry.

It moved very slowly.

Although he could not bear to support Isabel, he began by secretly contacting those who had long been called Hermann’s loyalists.

In fact, orders were given to those in some armed forces to swear false allegiance to Paul.

This meant asking them to respond and come forward when they reappeared.

and.

Not long ago, Hermann appeared relatively unharmed, accompanied by the Blue Hawk and Isabel. The Weil family was greatly shaken.

All those who had already contacted Hermann pledged to convert on the spot. Many of the knights bowed their heads to Hermann.

As a result, the Weil family was greatly shaken.

Hermann tries to take over the presidency again, and Paul tries to maintain the initiative at all costs. The two people were quite similar in age.

No, the cause was held by Herman, and the trend was on the verge of tipping in that direction.

Knowing that if things continued like this, he might end up with nothing but the chaff, Paul had to make his last move.

“I heard that the relationship between you and Elric Mervinger is very special. “I have to shake my brother’s spirit somehow at least once.”

Although Hermann appeared to be healthy on the outside, the moment he saw him again, Paul could tell that he had not yet fully recovered.

For that reason, a proposal was made to conclude a tiebreaker.

Noon a week later. Let’s spar in the central square of the ecliptic where everyone can see.

The person who wins there will become the head of the Byle family.

In the end, no matter what anyone says, the most important condition to become a lion was ‘skill’.

Hermann also nodded willingly, saying that was what he wanted, and disappeared again, taking his limbs with him.

Paul was confident that he would never lose.

Hermann, the blue lion, was scary, but there was a calculation that he, who was not in perfect physical condition, could overcome it.

Because Paul has never neglected his training.

Of course, even though that was the case, I had no intention of just competing fairly.

It was for that reason that Hilton was ordered to bring Elric’s head.

To shake Hermann’s heart even a little.

Since he had already suffered from narcosis once, it was thought that it would be difficult for him to concentrate if he suffered a major mental shock again.

More than anything.

Paul could never forgive Elric, who had so arrogantly warned him.

Until now, I had been cowering for fear of the repercussions of harming the title of Duke Chan-seong.

Now that we have entered an unexplored land, who will know the truth even if we die in an ‘unfortunate accident’?

Hermann and Isabel would definitely notice, but even so, they wouldn’t be able to pose any threat to him just out of curiosity.
