Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 91
Episode 91
Second Arrangement
The brothers-in-law flocked like a cloud to the room where Hermann was staying.
“It’s because of me that you came all the way to the north of the wall, which you didn’t plan on doing. “You must be tired, but you don’t rest?”
“how is it?”
“what?”
“Are you asking now because you don’t know that! “Of course I’m talking about my nephew-in-law!”
“Oh, that?”
As Hermann laughed, his brothers-in-law burst out in frustration.
“Then, are you going to come and see our eldest brother’s old face at this hour because we’re crazy?”
“That comment hurts a bit.”
“Oh please! Let’s drag it out and say it! So what is it like? Is it worth teaching? “Are you really that kind of idiot who understands everything even if you teach just one thing, just like the rumors say?”
“no. “That’s not it.”
As Hermann calmly shook his head, his sworn brothers sighed.
“this!”
“See, I said that, right? No matter how genius he is, he is Mervinger. “I guess it’s limited to magic?”
“Then this is a big deal. Even if you set it high and say you’re a prodigy, it means it’s too late to hold a sword at this age… So that’s a setback in our plans, right? “Should we look for other talent?”
“Shit. I had high expectations. It’s just heartbreaking. “My youngest, shall we have a drink?”
“Huh? Where are you going, second brother? “Why don’t you take out what’s in your pocket?”
“…Did you get caught?”
Although the brothers-in-law were sad that their ‘plan’ did not work out, some of them were trying to exchange money bags with each other, as if they had divided a bet.
But the words Herman playfully threw over their heads were an even bigger bomb.
“He is a genius among geniuses who can understand a hundred if you teach him one thing.”
“…!”
“…!”
“That much?”
“third! Yes, you guy! What did I say from the beginning! Didn’t my sister-in-law tell me from the first time I saw my niece-in-law’s face that she was a noble person with a unique physiognomy? But I have doubts! “Why don’t you hurry up and hand over your full money bag!”
The third Haman’s eyes were shining brightly as he quenched his appetite and handed the second son Rasel a bag of money.
“Tsk! Then, big brother, what is your level?”
“Once you hold the sword ‘properly’, I guarantee you that within 5 years you will be on par with those here. “The guys below won’t even be able to raise their heads.”
“crazy! “Didn’t the god of birth give you the wrong baby?”
“A risk! Hum!”
The brothers in law were dumbfounded by the word ‘properly’.
Elric is a wizard. In addition, he had made it a point to learn martial arts only as an aid, so it was a pity that his talent was rotting away.
Some people who had recently lost a lot of skill cleared their throats and thought that they needed to work hard again to avoid being caught up.
“There are many things that are advantageous. First of all, his affinity and sensitivity to mana was at a level I had never seen before… Perhaps because he had mastered the art of strong body, his breathing was perfect and his senses were very sharp. “The whole time I was moving, I didn’t lose my breath even once.”
The praise continued.
“The constitution was very clean, as if the old monster of Neresta had already taken care of it.”
I had no idea how shocked Herman was when he first touched Elric’s body.
No matter how much mana has been steadily accumulated since a young age, it is inevitable that waste will naturally accumulate in the body.
Not only was there more mana load that was not used than was used, but it also inevitably accumulated in muscles that were difficult to develop.
So, Hermann was thinking of giving Elric at least the ‘excuse me’ that he had learned from a strange man who had come from the East when he was young.
If he did so, his magical power, which he had barely recovered, would be damaged again, but he thought it would be beneficial if he could speed up his teaching.
But Elric had no need for that at all.
This is because the bee capillary water, which is said to be much better than the Chugungwahyeol, was already cleanly processed.
The muscles and veins were so clean that almost no waste or turbidity could be found.
Of course, complete cleaning was not carried out to the depths. Still, that alone could be said to be at the level of a 3- or 4-year-old baby.
Also, why are the muscles and bones so good?…
“I heard that Nokya’s magic fight forcibly makes the muscles and bones as strong as whole bones. So they call each other ‘Magol’? Look at it now. Augustine Who would look at that old monster and think he was that age? Where are you from? “It’s a monster.”
White Night Augustine Neresta.
He was little known to the public because he rarely went out, but everyone knew about him.
In the past, in terms of magic, he was the only person who could compete with the ‘Star Mage’ Usden Mervinger.
Today, it is a monster that can be compared to the golden lion, which everyone recognizes as the best person in the world.
Everyone was so shocked when they first heard that Elric had become his disciple.
“no. “I know that, but it wasn’t just that.”
“That’s right!”
“Anyway, one thing is certain.”
All the brothers’ eyes turned to Hermann.
A smile formed on Hermann’s lips.
“If Elric has the right intentions, a very large monster will be born.”
“Tsk!”
“Of course, that’s the most important thing.”
“Will the persuasion work?”
“I have to try something. If I can’t persuade you to death, there’s nothing I can do. “It’s not something that can be done by forcing it, right?”
The brothers in law recalled the ‘plan’ they had been harboring for a long time.
The content was very simple.
Creating a new lion that will surpass the golden lion!
There are bound to be limits to the current Lion Gongga system…
That was the conclusion that Hermann and the Blue Hawk had reached, and they had worked hard to reach that goal for a very long time.
However, Hermann, who was the first to challenge, ended up being frustrated and unable to overcome the barrier of 5 chains.
So they wanted to find bigger talent.
“So, everyone takes turns trying hard to somehow win Elric’s heart. Otherwise, it’s easy to end up with neither.”
“Tsk. “My nephew-in-law, although he seems like a nice person on the outside, he seems quite strict. Do you think it will be easy?”
“But the biggest thing is that we are of the same kind, so let’s look forward to that.”
With everyone nodding in anticipation.
“I wonder when I can teach.”
The second child, Haman, became very excited as he was curious about the talents of Elric, whom his eldest brother praised so much.
“Oh, second brother, that expression is coming again.”
“Don’t you think it’s too perverted? It’s usually a bit dangerous like that…”
Although criticism poured in under the guise of his brothers-in-law’s concerns.
It was completely inaudible to his ears.
* * *
But that time.
Unlike the happy blue hawk, Elric’s expression became stiff.
“The camellia flower… wilted? “What do you mean by that?”
[It’s just like I said.]
[The flower has withered. It becomes limp and won’t bloom again.]
[It’s not just the camellias.]
[It’s the same for everyone.]
[‘Winter’ has been too long.]
[It’s cold and I’m hungry. The sun doesn’t shine this far.]
[Spring won’t come. Summer closed its eyes and fall disappeared. So they all withered.]
[The remaining winter flowers are also doing the same thing.]
[I think it’s because ‘winter’ has suddenly become more severe these days.]
[The cold wind is blowing. Quick!]
[All the winter flowers here have fallen asleep.]
[We will soon be like that too.]
Elric had to feel his mind go blank for a moment.
『Pfft! “It’s not easy.”
Mephisto’s twisted laughter was heard.
But somehow, the tone was a mixture of irritation rather than joy over the fact that the plan laid by his old rival would not work properly.
Elric barely held back his throbbing head.
If this were true, it was a big problem.
Otto Han said that if he delivers the ice crystal to the Camellia God, the second arrangement will be held.
What it meant was that if it could not be conveyed, the arrangement would not work.
As Elric, who had come all the way here for that purpose, he couldn’t help but feel impatient.
Because he had to restore his family, he had to do something.
“Is it because of General Dong…?”
[That’s right.]
[It’s been going on for too long.]
[Every time General Dong comes, the sky is obscured. It’s not even raining. The wind is cold.]
[The ground is also frozen.]
[It rots because it doesn’t melt.]
[Flowers don’t bloom in rotten, dry land.]
[They don’t bloom.]
Elric thought that his and Mephisto’s reasoning was correct, so he put his hands on his face. was covered.
It seems that the downfall of the Temple of Flowers has been progressing very slowly over the past time.
‘What should I do?’
Elric stroked his face with his hand.
Then suddenly something crossed my mind.
‘wait for a sec. Wasn’t it clear that the gods of dead flowers were said to have ‘withered’?’
That expression made me feel uncomfortable.
‘I’m not saying it died or disappeared, but withered…?’
Just because a flower withers, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will die.
Because flowers are just a part of a plant.
“By any chance… didn’t the gods of withered flowers leave behind fruit?”
[That’s right.]
[Flowers don’t bloom continuously.]
[They wait until the sun goes down, then they sprout and bloom again when the season comes.]
[So the seeds remain.]
[They sleep.]
Fortunately, other flower gods, including the camellia god, It seemed to remain in the form of a ‘seed’.
As Elric sighed in relief, Mephisto clicked his tongue at the remaining flower gods in an expression of bewilderment.
『They are like torturers. If I had told you from the beginning that something like that would remain, I wouldn’t have had to be so scared. Tsk! This is why they say you have no thoughts.』
[Demon King, be quiet.]
[This is not your place.]
[That’s right. We allowed it because we had friends.]
Just like the god of repair, Mephisto seemed to be visible to other flower gods as well.
『Oh my goodness. Is that so? When the Demon God was there, the things that could not even step on the shadow of the king are so powerful now that they are on the ark.』 [
Talking about the old days.]
[They say that in the past, there was no one who was really good enough to say that.]
[He looks like an old guy.]
[He’s an old guy.]
[That’s right. You’re an old man. Mephisto, old man.]
[Mephisto, old man.]
Mephisto’s face crumpled because he was chattering so loudly.
[But I have a question.]
『What is it?』
[Demon kings don’t wash?]
[It stinks.]
[It stinks.]
[It smells like two heads.]
『…Hey, brat.』
Mephisto’s face is now filled with blood. There were a lot of people standing there.
『Can’t we just set fire to this place? The blades of grass are so dry that even if a spark is lit, it looks like it will burn very brightly!』
[As expected, the Demon King is bad.]
[It stinks when he looks like that.]
[Smell.]
[Yuck. Smell.]
『These are real!』
Elric said to the flower gods, ignoring Mephisto who was running amok.
“Then, may I ask you to guide me to the place where the camellia god sleeps?”
[What should I do?]
[Dongbaek will be angry if she finds out later.]
[But Dongbaek was close to Usden. Since we’re friends, wouldn’t it be okay?]
[Okay.]
[Me too!]
Elric didn’t miss a single word in the flower gods’ conversation.
Usdun!
“Has your grandfather been here?”
[huh. that’s right. I went there.]
[Usden is our friend. Our friend.]
[You also smell a lot like Usden.]
[So, you are our friend too.]
The five flower gods circled around Elric, fluttering their dragonfly-like wings, and then began leading him to another room.
[Follow me.]
[Let’s go to the greenhouse.]
Elric followed them and moved to a room called ‘Greenhouse’. Unlike the chilly outside, it was a warm place.
But somehow, it was closer to a stuffy warmth rather than a warm warmth. A place where there is absolutely no life.
The greenhouse… was a graveyard.
Cemetery.
[It’s here.]
[It’s a camellia lying at the end there.]
There were hundreds of steel boxes that looked like coffins lined up in each section.
The sections were divided into 4 large sections and 12 small sections. They were placed in the order of flowering seasons and seemed to be further divided by month.
Elric walked to the realm of winter flowers pointed out by the flower gods.
At the same time, I could see that the doors of all the steel boxes in the spring, summer and fall sections that I passed by were closed tightly.
Looking at it this way, it looked more like a coffin.
-Camellia L.
Elric asked for understanding from the flower gods and opened the door of the box.
There, I could see the seeds neatly placed on the silk cloth.
‘It should be done.’
Elric carefully placed the ice crystal next to the seed.
Mephisto said that the ice crystal was an ‘egg’.
A feeling and spirit that forms only in the deepest part of an iceberg covered with permanent snow.
If so, wouldn’t it have some positive effect on seeds?
Of course, just leaving it alone won’t cause a reaction right away.
“【Be absorbed】.”
However, the moment you impose a command here, the story changes.
Hwaaa!
The ice crystals emit bright light again.
Sussseu –
At that moment, pure white frost and black magic energy flowed from the camellia seed at the same time, and the frost was sucked into the ice crystals by Elric.
There was also a strong floral scent.
and.
Tsk tsk!
Cracks appeared in the seeds.
