Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 368

Part 2 Episode 108 The

Dragon and the Demon

It was a question I asked for a moment, but I wanted to know if the two people who were part of the Dragon Corps would know.

However, Sean and King Yulho just blinked when they saw each other.

Then he responded by asking if it was obvious.

“Isn’t he blonde and green-eyed?”

“Of course it’s Mervinger. “What are you talking about?”

“….”

Elric frowned and glared at them.

Eat.

Sean answered with a light smile.

“If you are asking about abilities or names, we don’t know. Same goes for me. “He is not the same person from my time.”

King Yulho nodded from the side.

ha!

Elric sighed deeply.

In the end, it means that it is the body he should have entered in the first place….

“I don’t know what to do if I let Mervinger possess a body that is not Mervinger.”

I had such a strong feeling of regret that I would have been able to fight better than I am now in my original body or in the same Mervinger body.

If that were the case, it wouldn’t be this difficult.

Although the two seals have now been restored, it is still the body of a demon.

And that’s not much of the magic power he originally had.

It is difficult to even use sacred power properly right now, so it is bound to be frustrating in many ways.

But then.

“I think Elric is misunderstanding something.”

Sean said in a low voice.

“Now your body is also a Mervinger.”

“…yes? “What does that mean?”

Elric asked in surprise.

“You’re a demon, right?”

“okay.”

“So what are you talking about…!”

“That’s why it’s called Mervinger.”

“He’s a demon, Mervinger…?”

Because it was something that couldn’t be understood through common sense.

Sean calmly continued his explanation as if he understood Elric.

“The story behind this arrangement is before Mervinger became a complete demon hunter.”

“…!”

Elric vaguely came to mind.

Gem Tree and Demon Tree.

Dragon and Ma.

These two things, like two sides of a coin, had the same roots from the beginning.

Then, Mervinger would be no different.

If we were dealing with a myth before dragons and demons fully separated, then Shaun’s words made sense.

“I guess I have a rough guess now. Originally, Mervinger was a huge ‘one’. Then, for some reason, a conflict arose and we ended up in the current situation.”

Elric nodded heavily.

Although I had only vaguely guessed the truth, it still felt strange to hear the family’s secret story directly from Chapter 6 of Winter.

“and.”

Sean leaned forward and opened his mouth again.

“I guess resolving the conflict between the two Mervingers is what you have to do in this arrangement?”

Elric recalled the first time he received the arrangement.

“I was infected by the devil and caused great harm to the world…”

“To correct the wrong things and atone for the past…”

It is said that he once entered the devil, but escaped again.

That time seemed to be the current time zone.

The problem was that even if I knew that fact, I had no idea how to resolve the conflict that Sean mentioned.

I need to know why the conflict arose in order to find a solution.

Because Elric knew nothing at the moment.

So I asked Sean.

“I don’t know.”

“…yes?”

“I don’t know either.”

“….”

He shrugged his shoulders and spoke confidently.

“It was long after the Four Seasons that I became one of the six winter chapters.”

That is, after the relationship between the two Mervingers had completely soured.

“I only heard that something like this happened, but I never heard what it was.”

“Then who is the Mervinger who is currently handling the dragons…?”

“Of course you don’t know, right?”

“….”

In the end, there was only one thing Elric could say.

“Damn it….”

* * *

Several conversations took place after that, but there was no meaningful result.

As it stands, it seemed impossible to guess the cause of the conflict or the identity of the opponent, Mervinger.

‘In the end, it means that you have no choice but to gather information and make inferences.’

Elric thought for a moment and came to one conclusion.

‘First of all, the body I occupy. And the identity of the opponent. ‘I need to know these two things for sure.’

In any case, they are both Mervingers and are at the center of the conflict.

So, it was clear that if we researched this, there would be a lot of information that could be found.

‘According to what Sean said, these two things seem to be the most important reason why the two Mervingers split up.’

Elric gathered his thoughts and moved somewhere.

I heard Sean and King Yulho asking where I was going from behind.

I was still deep in worry and couldn’t hear it.

‘I need to find the hidden history of Mervinger that I don’t know about.’

Where did the family originate?

What on earth happened to cause me to become infected with the devil? etc.

If you slowly find your family roots like that.

‘I guess I can figure out why what happened just now.’

As the time period of the arrangement is very far in the past.

It was clear that the study in this castle would also have a history book recording the events of that time.

* * *

“Oh, it’s a little bigger than I thought?”

Elric burst into admiration as soon as he arrived at the study.

There were large bookcases on every wall, so packed with books that there were no gaps in sight.

Even if we don’t do it, tens of thousands of volumes would be enough.

It was a much larger amount than expected.

“Demons studying… What’s different about the demons of this era?”

It was known that the power of demons comes from ignorance and the unknown. But I can’t help but be surprised that that doesn’t seem to be the case.

But Elric thought it went well.

The fact that there are so many books also means that there is a lot to learn about this era.

More than anything.

‘It’s fun, right?’

A smile appeared on his lips.

In fact, as a wizard, Elric’s hobby was reading.

I’ve been so busy these days that I haven’t been able to do it.

‘That’s not the case now, is it?’

Moreover, it seemed like it would be interesting enough since most of it would be old books that we would never see in today’s era.

Of course, you can’t look at each book complacently in a situation where you never know when enemies will attack.

So, you have to be careful when choosing, but it is still fun.

Elric quickly scanned the title of the book and began to find things that might contain the information he needed.

[Birth of magic]

[History of the continent]

[First part of the rise and fall of each kingdom]

[Beginning of faith]

[Where does the source of magic come from]

.

.

I selected everything that seemed intuitively related to history and placed them on the desk.

Even though I narrowed it down in my own way, it was quite a considerable amount.

“Okay then, shall we have a taste?”

It was when he was about to sit down in front of his desk.

“Elric? Are you here? “Where have you been so busy?”

“Just say something and leave!”

Sean and King Yulho opened the library door and appeared. They followed Elric, who had left without saying a word.

but.

“…What is this?”

“Ugh. “I feel like I’m suddenly getting a headache.”

“So do you? “It’s me.”

The two people looked like they were sick of the library.

“It’s so simple that I don’t understand it. “It’s not like they’re torturing themselves, so why on earth are they doing that in a place like a prison?” He was

so disgusted that he didn’t even want to go over the door frame.

This reaction comes about because both of them had built up a wall away from books during their lifetime.

Of course, I have no intention of tearing down that wall in the future.

Elric couldn’t help but laugh.

“So Elric. “Why on earth did you come to a place like this?”

King Yulho’s gaze as he asked the question inadvertently turned to the book in front of Elric.

He looked at the letters densely packed on both pages and jerked his head to the side as if he saw something he couldn’t see.

“Why? “Wouldn’t you like to know at least a little bit of information about arrangements when you have some free time?”

Elric continued speaking, tapping on the books piled up next to him.

“Why do you want to help me?”

King Yulho jumped out of his seat, asking if he was crazy.

“…Don’t talk nonsense. I’d rather go to the sparring hall and help train the demons. “How’s Sean?”

“It’s the first time in a while that you’re saying something true. “Let’s go quickly.”

Sean nodded, as if he empathized strongly.

“Sparring?”

“okay. I saw it when I took a quick look as I was being dragged to the castle earlier. “It would be perfect to go now so that I can train the soldiers as well.”

“….”

Elric was momentarily dumbfounded by the conversation between the two so confident people and was at a loss for words.

“You two… do you know that you are both prisoners of war right now?”

“Oh. “It was like that, right?”

That’s what I heard. A face that accepts it that way.

Ugh.

Elric sighed deeply.

Still, I thought it was a good thing that those two stopped by the study.

If the two of them had just wandered around the castle, it was clear that the demons taking refuge in the castle would have gone into an uproar.

This was also my own mistake.

“Just wait a moment.”

Elric stuck his head out the window and called a soldier.

Since it seems like having the two people next to me would only be a hindrance, I have no choice but to do whatever they want.

It seemed like it would be quite helpful to the soldiers if Sean and King Yulho, rather than anyone else, led the sparring.

“Did you call me?”

The soldier arrived quickly.

Elric looked at him and said indifferently.

“Uh, the two prisoners here will help train the soldiers for the time being. “Take him to the sparring hall.”

“…yes? “Did I hear you wrong?”

“….”

“yes. “I will take you right away.”

As Elric glared at him, he hurriedly left the study, taking the two with him.

“It’s finally quiet now.”

The silence has finally arrived.

Elric’s face was full of anticipation.

Whether it’s the four seasons or the six winter chapters.

Because it was a moment where I could reveal the family secret that no one had told me until now.

Palak.

The bookshelf fell over with a pleasant sound.

“Sorcery refers to a rudimentary ability that draws power from nature, and our beginnings began from there. And people called a group of shamans like us ‘Mervingers’…” “

…But each country judged that their power was a threat to their system and power and tried to ostracize them.”

“The method they chose to survive was to create a systematic group system, or family….” “

I knew that they started as a group from the beginning, but… ‘I never thought there would be a story like this!’

It was a sufficiently surprising story.

A family that had been studying magic all along and was thought to have walked the path of a prestigious magic family started with ‘witchcraft.’

It is a concept that has been forgotten to the point that it is only mentioned very occasionally in old papers.

It was known that witchcraft was merely an ability used by ancient ethnic groups.

‘And because of that, he was oppressed in many countries?’

Elric could not erase his bitter feelings after reading the last paragraph.

As I am still being checked by the Inspection Bureau and several families, I have a strong feeling that history is repeating itself.

‘There was no difference before or after the continent was unified.’

His eyes turned to the next page.

“…Humans pursue convenience. This was the same with witchcraft.”

「Mervinger was not satisfied with simply making fire and freezing things with a wave of his hand.」

「More powerful. More ways to do it. For a long time, Mervinger studied magic, and it was then that ‘magic’ based on magical power was born for the first time.” ‘

What? ‘Magic… wasn’t created by a dragon?’
