Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 100
The Youngest Son of the Magic Family Episode 100
“Are you two going to get married?”
Larsen didn’t think those words came out of nowhere and out of nowhere. Mirang is not doing this alone.
‘It looks like there was some behind-the-scenes work by Bellatudo.’
I don’t know what the intention was or why they spread this nonsense, but in any case, Mirang heard something from Bellatudo or Bellatudo’s intelligence organization.
Rosalind frowned.
“It can’t be. “I think there is a big misunderstanding.”
“misunderstanding? “What misunderstanding?”
“I don’t see this guy as a male, let alone a man.”
Lydia said while yawning.
“Then Larsen, will you marry me?”
“….”
Larsen, who had the Heavenly Eyes, could read Lydia’s sincerity. Lydia refers to love or marriage between a man and a woman. I wasn’t very interested in such things. Because he’s just a fire contractor. And because we are very close friends. He seemed to think that it wouldn’t be a bad idea if we lived together for the rest of our lives.
Mirang’s eyes narrowed.
“Let me be clear here. Larsen is my male.”
Larsen was able to roughly read Mirang’s mind. Perhaps because he has stronger power than Lydia at this point, he could not read it as accurately as Lydia.
‘Possessive?’
Mirang’s heart was also far from love.
There was some kind of strong desire in Mirang’s heart, and Larsen seemed to know what it was.
“I guess I’ll have to conceive Larsen’s child.”
Larsen’s body flinched. I looked at the hind legs of the Shapuran wild boar that had fallen to the ground. what. Come to think of it. It seems that Shapuran wild boar is a very good food for stamina.
Larsen sighed.
“I am fifteen years old.”
“I’m six years old.”
ah. right. Mirang is six years old. I momentarily forgot that the growth rates of the Geumho tribe and humans are so different.
“By human standards, how old do you have to be to become an Eucharist?”
“20 years old.”
By this standard, yes. At age 20, Larsen is entitled to independence.
Because I became an adult.
Of course, no one from the Mayton family has yet declared independence. Because everyone has their eyes set on Mayton’s successor.
In fact, there is no reason to become independent from Maton, one of the world’s most powerful families. At least for the blood relatives of Mayton.
Mirang curled his lips and smiled.
“Then we just have to wait five years. When that time comes, I will conceive your child and create the strongest warrior.”
“They say that if you conceive my child, you will become the strongest warrior?”
“They said so.”
It seemed like that was the false(?) information spread by Bellatudo.
‘What on earth are you thinking?’
Anyway, since there are 5 years left, I decided not to think about it until then.
2 years from now is urgent. 2 years later. Because in the original, the head flies off. I was destined to die in two years, so I thought it was too extravagant to think about five years from now.
“Anyway, it’s nice to meet you. We must go to the Shadow Wastes.”
“I will lead the way. “I have passed by there before.”
Mirang took the lead. Although there were some strange happenings, going with Mirang wasn’t a bad thing.
Over the past year, Mirang has grown at an incredible rate and is a Geumho clan who survived the battle with the Mercenary King. It will definitely be of great help.
Larsen. Rosaline. Lydia. And the four-member party consisting of Mirang moved towards the ‘Shadow Wasteland’.
Mirang’s tail was gently wagging after meeting Larsen for the first time in a long time.
* * *
The Shadow Wasteland was a wasteland located to the west of the Bethia continent. It was an abandoned place as there were no cities or villages of any kind nearby.
Therefore, the mobile gateway was not activated, and the closest port city, ‘Veronois’, was a remote area where you had to travel through the mobile gateway and then walk for 10 days.
Rosaline muttered as she walked along an unknown forest path.
“I heard it’s a place that unknown explorers sometimes visit. “They say that the Bethia continent has mobile gateways as dense as a spider’s web, but that’s not true.”
“Just because it’s Mayton doesn’t mean manpower and goods are rotting.”
In fact, humans are said to dominate the continent, but only 30% of it.
30% protected area and 70% unprotected area. There would be a shortage of manpower and goods just to create and maintain 30% of the area as a protected area.
Therefore, there was no need to create or maintain a mobile gateway to the Shadow Wasteland.
Anyway, following Mirang’s guidance, Larsen and his party were able to arrive at the ‘Shadow Wasteland’ without much difficulty.
Shadow Wasteland.
It was abandoned a long time ago and is covered with grey-brown dirt and gravel. There were thorny cacti growing here and there, but other than those, there was no other life to be found.
Larsen thought this as soon as he saw the Shadow Wasteland.
‘Dead land.’
The current time is 12 o’clock.
Even though sunlight was pouring down, the ‘Shadow Wasteland’ was strangely dark. Rosalind seemed a little surprised.
“They say the soil in the Shadow Wasteland absorbs some of the light, but it’s noticeably darker than other places.”
The areas were divided exactly as if someone had cut them with a knife. bright area. dark area. Larsen examined the ‘Shadow Wasteland’ with Cheonan.
[Current location: Shadow Wasteland]
[Characteristics: Habitat of shadow ghosts]
It is invisible to the naked eye, but visible to the naked eye.
‘A shadow ghost exists within the shadow of the cactus.’
Shadow wraiths are not very dangerous in themselves.
We live as parasites in other people’s shadows. Unless you have special eyes or exceptionally good observation skills, you cannot even recognize the shadow wraith.
‘Ghosts living parasitic in other people’s shadows.’
It can only survive when shadows exist, and it eats shadows. In theory, it is known that if all the shadows are eaten, the shadow entity will die, but there has never been such a case. Because the shadow disappears before that.
Lydia trembled.
“But that’s me. Cactus is in a bad mood. “Can I blow that up?”
“okay.”
There is no particular reason to stop it. A fireball was created from Lydia’s hand and the cactus burned down. The cactus burned and its shadow disappeared. Accordingly, the shadow ghost also disappeared.
Mirang took a step forward.
“There’s an old book here?”
“huh. According to the words of the Grandel matriarch.”
Mirang also knew that there was a shadow ghost, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.
To Mirang, it just felt like a few flies flying nearby. You know it, but you don’t have to worry about it.
Mirang started to wag his nose and then started crawling on his arms and legs. Like a dog, it stretched its nose and smelled the ground.
“It smells bad. “It smells like a rotting corpse.”
Larsen, in his own way, tried to find out something using ‘Cheonan’. There must be an ‘old book’ that can be helpful to Rosaline somewhere.
The Shadow Wasteland was quite large. Even if you move in a straight line, it is a place so large that it would take three days of walking to get through.
It was the second day after camping there for a day.
‘I don’t have much income.’
This is where Bellatudo sent his beloved only daughter. There is no way there is no significant income. On the third day, Larsen noticed something.
“When it was twelve o’clock at night. “The shadow ghosts are the most active.”
They parasitize even the slightest shadow. At least a shadow ghost existed in the shadow of the pebble created by the moonlight. The shadow of a bonfire lit for camping. The shadows of Larsen and his party that were created as a result were also all shadow ghosts.
Twelve o’clock at night.
Larsen thought that was when the shadow wraiths were most active.
At twelve o’clock at night, Larsen observed the shadow ghosts. Lydia tilted her head.
“Can you see it if you look?”
“huh.”
“I can’t see anything.”
“You will see it when the circle gets a little higher.”
“I’m already in the 3rd circle?”
“If it goes beyond that, you will see it.”
“Larsen is second circle.”
“But I can see it.”
“why?”
“just.”
“I see.”
Lydia was persuaded very easily. Another day passed. Larsen once again observed the shadow ghosts and realized one thing.
“They seem to move randomly, but their movements have a certain direction.”
Overall, it was like that. Although it seemed to move in a disorderly manner, in the grand scheme of things, it seemed to be moving in one direction. Larsen took that direction.
Mirang stood up from his seat.
“Which one?”
“there.”
This is where we explored during the day. Mirang moved in that direction. Mirang, who had been crawling with his nose on the floor for a while, stopped at one place.
“here. “A rotten corpse makes me vibrate?”
On the outside, there was nothing special. However, it was visible in Larsen’s Cheonan.
‘The energy of the shadow ghosts has been amplified.’
A black hall appeared.
It was a special hall that could only be interpreted as Cheonan. The closer we got to that place, the stronger the shadow spirits became. Some of the dogs ran wild and were thrown out of the shadows and destroyed.
Mirang tilted his head.
“Something is suspicious here.”
I raised my fist. struck the ground
bang!
A huge explosion sounded.
Larsen was dumbfounded. Mirang has grown rapidly in just one year. Her destructive power was beyond imagination. When he hit the ground, the dirt bounced up to a height of 5 meters. It was as if a huge shock wave had been driven into the ground.
Lydia was excited.
“There was a big hole?”
Lydia stuck her head out and looked down the hole.
“There are stairs!”
There was a staircase beneath the Shadow Wasteland. It was a staircase carved out of granite that could not exist naturally.
‘It was definitely a place I visited during the day.’
There was nothing like this back then. Mirang also couldn’t smell anything special. Rosalind also came closer.
“It looks like an artificial dungeon.”
A dungeon created by someone with a special purpose. So, does this really exist in this ‘old book’ that Bellatudo mentioned? I felt like I could only find out by going inside.
But then.
A person jumped out from Larsen’s shadow.
Rosaline opened her eyes wide. Honestly, I was very surprised. Actually, I was always surprised. Rosalind’s eyes cannot clearly see the movement of the ‘shadow ghost’. I feel like I have to increase my fighting power a lot to achieve something like that.
However, Larsen showed even more observation skills and showed excellent ‘eyes’. Larsen was calm in everything and seemed to be steadily moving toward his goal. The leader of this group naturally became Larsen. No one thought it strange. Rosalind thought it was leadership, and Larsen clearly had what it took to be an outstanding leader. Larsen, who was Mayton’s bastard and trash just a few years ago.
I had been secretly surprised by Larsen for a few days, but I was even more surprised now.
‘That person…!’
It was Heira.
‘Have you been hiding this whole time? ‘I didn’t feel any sign of it at all?’
Heira is Larsen’s power. Apparently Larsen wasn’t that surprised. Larsen seemed to already know that Heira was in hiding.
Rosalind clenched her fists. Every time I see Larsen, my desire to win keeps burning. I never wanted to lose. That spirit of victory shook Rosalyn’s heart. It was different from when I was with Larsen within the Grandel family. Larsen, seen from the outside of the Grandel family, felt like he was far ahead of himself.
‘I don’t want to lose.’
I meant it. It was a completely different feeling than inside Grandel House. Even if you look at the same thing, it feels very different when you see it from inside the house and from the outside.
The interpretation was captured in Larsen’s Cheonan.
[The character ‘The Joker’ begins to awaken.]
Meanwhile, Heira emerged from the shadows and took out a dagger. It was indeed a ‘silent and secretive’ movement. Heira moved quickly and held the dagger to someone’s throat.
“Who are you?”
Larsen and his group were not the only ones here. Larsen turned his head and looked back. I saw a man with a fairly simple appearance. Age: approximately mid 30s. Although his appearance was shabby, his clothes made him look like an explorer. The man raised both hands to indicate that he had no intention of attacking and took a couple of steps back.
“ah. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to steal it. My name is Duran. I am an unknown explorer. “I was exploring the Shadow Wastes.”
Larsen walked closer to the man. By coincidence, the explorer may have appeared at this moment. But Larsen thinks the odds of that happening are less than 0.00001 percent. Larsen never thought of this situation as a coincidence.
‘Something has started.’
It was visible in Larsen’s Cheonan. There were no feet inside the man’s leather shoes, and the inside of the man’s clothes were empty.
Rosalyn walked next to Larsen. Interesting interpretations continued to be caught in Larsen’s eyes.
[The character ‘The Joker’ received an opportunity for awakening.]
That was not the end.
[Raidione, the god of scheming, offers to support the awakening of ‘The Joker.’]
