Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 92

Episode 92

Second Arrangement

[The ice is gone!]

[The camellia seeds were frozen solid. The cold wind went out.]

[How did you do it?]

[How did you do it?]

The five flower gods were so happy that they circled around Elric and said, ‘Wow! and!’ They shouted “Hurrah!”

『It’s not like a swarm of flies. Why is it so noisy? “I’m going crazy, so stay still!”

Of course, they weren’t the flower gods who would listen to Mephisto.

‘also.’

Fortunately, Elric was able to smile because his judgment was correct.

“I heard that General Dong was a ‘mystery’ that didn’t exist even during Mephisto’s time. Yes?”

『Yes.』

[Yes. It’s only been 400 years since it was created.]

[That’s right!]

“Mysterious means the unknown of the unknown… so of course it has to be outside of human beings.”

Outside.

A general term for all strange phenomena excluding areas that can be observed and measured by humans.

No, more accurately, it meant the result of the primal fear and fear that arises from such a strange phenomenon, but it also had a similar meaning anyway.

And ‘demon’ also originates from here.

Elric defined the wonder called General Dong as human and absorbed it, considering it a ‘demon’.

“hmm! Since General Dong’s cold is mixed with the outside world, if only the outside world can be extracted from there, the cold that froze the seed will have no choice but to be naturally absorbed into the ice crystal… This is it.』 “

Yes. That’s right.”

Elric nodded silently.

I could see sprouts growing from the broken cracks.

『Are you going to wake up the seeds here one by one like this?』

“If you can, you should do it. The problem is that the ice crystals may take away the coldness here, and it is only a temporary measure while the winter war continues.”

Mephisto’s face became astonished.

『It means that General Dong must be eliminated. “This is a monster that has been here for over 400 years and something that even the beastmen couldn’t do.”

While Elric smiled bitterly, the sprout gradually grew bigger. As the stem grew thicker and the leaves grew, it became a small seedling.

Then, the leaves fall and flower buds open on top of them, gradually spreading their petals.

Camellia flowers have a scent as strong as their bright red color, so the greenhouse was quickly filled with the scent.

The camellia god was lying right there, hugging his knees.

A fairy wearing a red dress and light pink wings.

[It’s a camellia!]

[Wow! Camellia flowers have bloomed!]

[It’s been 40 years!]

[You fool! It’s been 41 years and 7 months!]

[Oh, really? Anyway, nice to meet you!]

The camellia god, who seemed to be in a deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes while rubbing them, wondering what was going on when the surroundings became noisy.

[Has he… woke up?]

The camellia god looked around.

Surely he must have fallen asleep unable to overcome the continuing cold…?

I wondered how I was able to open my eyes again, but when I saw a face similar to the one I saw before I fell asleep, I quickly understood the situation.

[As promised… you are here. Mervinger.]

Unlike other flower gods who were childlike, the camellia god spoke in a very adult manner.

The smile he gave, completely shaking off the hazy energy of sleep, seemed cold and haughty, like the image that comes to mind when you think of winter.

Elric had something in mind about the word ‘promise’.

“It looks like your grandfather promised something.”

[There was.]

The camellia god fluttered his light pink wings as he flew up into the sky and was at eye level with Elric.

[and! Camellia is flying!]

[It’s flying!]

[Are you okay? Are you in any pain?]

[Did you sleep well?]

The other flower gods gathered around the camellia god and told him a bunch of stories.

However, the camellia god frowned as if he was about to die from the noise, and slammed his heeled foot into the air.

thud!

The sound of air bursting was heard, turning off all the chirping sounds of the flower gods.

[Everyone, please be quiet! It seems like it’s been more than 40 years, but how can you guys never be quiet even for a single day?]

For an instant, the flower gods became quiet.

Elric had a feeling that even those who seemed immature would become weak in front of the Camellia God.

At first glance, the camellia god seemed to be the leader among winter flowers.

but.

[and! As expected, camellia! It’s the same as it was 40 years ago! Absolutely powerful!]

[Do it one more time!]

[Do it! Do more!]

[Do it with a bang this time! I want to hear it boom! Boom!]

[Room, boom!]

[Ugh…! Really!]

The flower gods looked rather amused and grabbed the camellia god and shook him.

The camellia god’s face turned red as he wondered how on earth he should cook these friends who were as bright as ever.

It would have been better if I could press it down with overwhelming force to stop it from making noise like in the past, but since I had just woken up, I couldn’t do that, so it was frustrating.

『Is there only one flower that has bloomed? “I guess the sacred tree that was so powerful has gone somewhere, isn’t it?”

Then, the camellia god belatedly noticed that there was a familiar face next to Elric and turned his gaze towards him.

A sinister face that would not fit well in the Temple of Flowers.

[Even though it is only one flower, it is a beautiful and very fragrant flower. But your ugly face doesn’t change at all over time, so maybe it’s a good thing? It seems like only the miserable skin remains of the body that was at least worth looking at. He has become a very unsightly figure.]

『This king…!』

[What is the king? Even if you call yourself a king without any believers or people, no one will recognize you. I would rather have this woman give me the title of king. It’s a shame because it remains shabby and dull. How about this? It seems like it would suit you very well.]

『You bitch!』

Mephisto couldn’t even get his head around the cold harsh words hurled at him by Dongbaek, and only shook his fist.

It seems that it was poured directly on the painter Mephisto, who was unable to direct it to his fellow flower gods.

‘I heard you’ll have a damn good personality.’

Elric somehow remembered what Otto Hahn had said when he gave him the ice crystal during the first arrangement.

Of course, I never said that out loud.

I didn’t want to clash with the second arrangement I had to make.

[A Mervinger with the same face as Usden Mervinger. What is your name?]

“I’m Elric.”

[Elric Mervinger. That’s a very pretty name. Just by looking at the name, it seems like he has the wisdom to wake this woman up from her long sleep.]

Then, the camellia god looked Elric up and down with an interested face as if he were giving a review.

[Plus you have blonde hair and green eyes? Your face is pretty good looking too. He’s intelligent, handsome, and has a slim body with muscular muscles. The only flaw is that I’m not wearing glasses… Well, that’s something the woman who saw can give as a gift.]

“…?”

What on earth are you talking about? Elric tilts his head for a moment.

[It means that this is the style that the girl you just saw likes. Do you have any intention of becoming the concubine of the woman you saw?]

“….”

At that moment, Elric wondered if he had heard something wrong.

However, after hearing Mephisto’s scolding, I realized that I had heard correctly.

“joy! It’s starting again! The way he reveals his face is the same now as it was before!』

[This has nothing to do with a guy who looks like a dog that chewed up and spat it out, so please leave it out.]

『What? As for this king, there were many people who admired him, saying that he had one of the most beautiful figures in the world…!』

[To the point where you can even hear people say that he has a beautiful form among monsters. Well, it’s enough without having to listen any more.]

『…!』

Mephisto ran wild again, but the camellia god didn’t even pretend to listen, and looked at Elric again and asked.

[How about this? A glorious opportunity like this does not come twice. This woman is a very arrogant and cool person, and once she leaves, she never holds out her hand twice.]

Elric let out a laugh.

How confidently you speak. It really felt like I should accept her offer.

Moreover, why are his eyes so harsh?

I felt like a frog in front of a snake.

Should we call it the eyes of a predator with delicious food in front of it?

Normally, he would have countered by saying it was nonsense, but Elric did not forget that the opponent was a ‘God’.

A god who promised to make arrangements.

“I’m sorry, but since I represent one family, I cannot marry without permission. “I appreciate the offer, but I will respectfully reject it.”

[You will regret that choice, right?]

“I’m sorry.”

[It’s a shame.]

The camellia god licked his lips as if he was truly disappointed, but his gaze at Elric was full of interest.

Mephisto looked at the two with a shocked expression.

[Well, I’ll stop talking about this for now. A little while ago, I asked if Mervinger had an appointment?]

“Yes.”

[that’s right. There was. That’s what he did. I don’t know when, but someone who is probably his grandson will come and steal the ‘winter’ that covers the black snow field and bring ‘spring’ in its place.]

“Is that so…?”

As expected, my grandfather visited this place.

That’s why I became even more curious.

For what reason did my grandfather visit this place?

How did you know that your grandson would be visiting this place in the distant future when you would not be there?

I had so many questions.

[is it so. So, I ask you, Elric Mervinger, the grandson of Oudden Mervinger. Can you, as your grandfather promised, take away this dreadful ‘winter’ and bring the ‘spring’ we long for?]

But Elric put all such questions aside.

The answer was more important now.

“I don’t know if I can take ‘winter’ with me, but my family’s ancestor left a request for me personally.”

Elric held out the ice crystal to the camellia god.

“Give this to you and say this.”

Elric took a deep breath and his eyes brightened.

“I came to complete ‘Winter.’”

At that moment, the corner of the Camellia God’s lip curled up.

An inexplicable smile that appears sarcastic on the outside, but can also be seen as a satisfied smile.

[This is a message from that obnoxious Otto Han. From Woosden to Otto Han… maybe all of this was a trend that would lead to one thing. great. Then learn how to take ‘winter’ there and come back.]

The camellia god put his hands together and blew inwards.

after!

Yellow pollen wafted out along with a strong flower scent, quickly covering Elric.

[We’ll see later.]

I felt like I heard those words.

The emerald part of the magic sword worn around his neck burst into a bright light and soon disappeared.

Paaaat!

I felt like my vision was spinning, but then it came back to its original position. Elric was in a completely different world.

The same phenomenon as the first arrangement.

“This place…?”

Elric first looked around to assess the situation.

The place he was in now was a paradise filled with not only the scent of camellia flowers, but also the scent of other flowers, unlike during the time of King Snow Mountain, when there was only a fierce snowstorm.

Shoot!

The warm breeze blowing at the right time made people feel warm.

I could see flowers in full bloom swaying gently along the hills here and there.

“Temple of Flowers… is it?”

Elric was able to immediately realize that this was the original appearance of the Temple of Flowers.

If there’s a question, is it that paradise is so large and you can’t see the temple?

And as if to explain Elric’s doubts.

Time began to fast forward over Paradise.
