Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 116
Magic Master’s Youngest Son Episode 116
Larsen realized what a ‘look’ was.
Rook Rook
is one of the chess pieces. In general terms, it is more valuable than a knight or bishop and less valuable than a queen.
Front, back and both sides. It is a horse that can move up to 15 spaces in four directions at once, and is also called a ‘major piece’ along with the queen.
‘Like the queen… a piece that can checkmate alone with the king.’
The word ‘look’ appeared.
‘If Rosaline is the look…’
Other things could also be inferred.
‘Maybe this means there is also a queen and a king?’
This was a very new interpretation for Larsen.
Of course, we cannot be sure that the ‘look’ here is the look in chess. There was also a possibility that it was something unique to this world.
But Larsen felt a strange conviction that the look here was a chess look. It was similar to my intuition as a creator.
“anyway. “I will definitely protect your secret.”
“….”
“And I decided to open my heart to you more. “I feel a little sorry.”
“….”
“I said I would forgive you because of that memory from my childhood, but I couldn’t actually forgive you. But now it’s real. “I won’t bring up that past incident again, and my feelings for you won’t be affected by it in the future.”
It was already 7 years ago. Rosalind decided to completely forget about it.
“I didn’t forgive you for 7 years and then lied to you that I had forgiven you. So now you’re hitting on me.”
Rosalind’s face was a little red. Larsen said Rosalyn’s change wasn’t bad. This world gave it the nickname ‘Rook’. Rook is used as a very powerful word along with queen.
Larsen laughed lightly.
“Thank you for saying that.”
“Thank you.”
Rosalind frowned slightly. I guess this situation was a little unfamiliar. It was even more so because it was my first time having this conversation with Larsen.
“Anyway, folding screen rock. Let’s go quickly. “I’m curious about what arrangements the Mayton matriarch has prepared.”
Rosalyn took the lead and started walking. Today, I walked particularly fast.
* * *
It seems that it was not a lie that the martial artists said that they would clear the road first. Except for a unique species such as the ‘April White Wolf’, we did not encounter any significant monsters even in the unprotected area.
Folding screen rock.
It is a huge rock located on Mount Serk.
It was named so because the rocks were spread out wide like a folding screen, and it was a huge, strangely shaped rock cliff that was a whopping 7,000 meters wide. What is surprising is that this cliff is just one rock, and it has been recorded as the largest rock in the world.
Larsen said.
“Hampton. “You go to the nearest protected area and rest.”
“all right.”
I want to follow along, but I can’t. Because Decatra said. Only Rosalyn and Larsen can enter. Hampton had no choice but to follow suit.
Hampton bowed.
“There is a small town about 2.2km to the south. There is a fountain in the center of the place, and I will be staying at an inn near it. Please come back in good health.”
“okay.”
Hampton put something in Larsen’s hand.
“This is an antidote for paralyzing poison. Mix it with water in a 2:1 ratio…”
“And this is a medicine that brightens your vision. In case of poison in the sensory system….”
“This is a potion made of dissolved grass called Martu, which amplifies the specific smell you want….” “
And this….”
He kept pulling out something and holding it to Larsen. However, in fact, Larsen was not able to memorize all of these things.
“it’s okay.”
I put what I had already received into subspace, but rejected the rest.
“You’re the only one for me. “Decide what you want to give the most.”
“That one…”
Hampton thought for a long time and held out one. It was a faded ring.
“what’s this? “I don’t think it’s an antidote.”
“It’s my grandmother’s keepsake.”
“A keepsake?”
“It is said to be a ring filled with a powerful wish to protect against poison.”
There was no magical device of any kind in this ring. Hampton probably knows that too. Larsen accepted the ring.
“good.”
After receiving the ring, Hampton was sent to the city. Rosaline asked.
“Can I take something like that? “They say it’s my grandmother’s keepsake.”
“If I get this, it will put Hampton’s mind at ease.”
In fact, Hampton probably did not think that Larsen would understand everything while giving him numerous medicines.
“Hampton just wants to do the best he can for me.”
“So you received Hampton’s precious item?”
“huh.”
Rosalyn looked at Larsen.
“Even though I know, I still don’t know.”
“what?”
“I can’t tell if he’s a warm-hearted guy or a terribly cold-hearted guy. “Sometimes it seems like a machine from a magical civilization, but other times it seems like it’s full of humanity.”
“Isn’t that my charm?”
As Larsen giggled, Rosalind frowned.
“The charm is shit.”
But deep down, I had no choice but to admit it. For Rosalyn, Larsen was a mountain to overcome, her closest rival, and an attractive friend.
Rosalyn changed the topic.
“From the top of the folding screen rock, you have to climb Serk Mountain.”
“know.”
“The terrain of Serk Mountain itself is rugged, but there are numerous illusion magics and illusions spread out here and there, so it is impossible to climb it just by itself. know?”
That is the characteristic of Serk Mountain. Larsen nodded. A wide and huge mountain. I read this vast mountain as Cheonan, which makes even the large folding screen rock look like a small rock.
[Serk Mountain]
The name is, of course, Serk Mountain. That top. I looked up at the folding screen rock.
[Folding Screen Rock]
However, Larsen felt a strange feeling at the Folding Screen Rock.
‘uh?’
Although it was only for a moment, some letters passed by on the folding screen rock. I couldn’t read it because it was so short. But apparently some letters appeared for a very brief moment and then disappeared.
‘The letters are clearly…’
The letters were in Korean.
‘Kirtel. Is this place related to Alberto?’
I thought maybe that could be the case. If you think about it that way, there was another part that made sense.
Numerous illusions and illusion magic exist in Serk Mountain. Traps that look like someone set them up on purpose. Perhaps this is a remnant of the fight in which Alberto and Kirtel risked their lives.
Otherwise, there would be no way for there to be so many traps to fill this large mountain.
‘Alberto is a forgotten great sage. If you think about it that way, the reason why the magic traps on Mount Serk were created could have just been buried in legend.’
Rosaline’s voice was heard.
“What are you doing? “Are you listening to me?”
“Ah oh. “What did you just say?”
“We have to find the mountain ranger clan. “You can’t just go up there.”
“You’ve been studying hard.”
Rosaline said as if this was natural! He snorted.
“of course. The matriarch of Mayton commissioned me. “It’s natural to study for a request.”
“That’s right.”
Larsen smiled without realizing it. To be honest, Rosalyn was cute. Rather than looking cute as a woman, it felt like I was just looking at a young niece.
As expected, there was a significant difference in their mental ages, and Rosalyn, as seen by Larsen, was only 13 years old. In Korea, they are elementary school students.
The elementary school student was boasting, saying, ‘I studied this much!’ To Larsen, who has the mental age of an old man, it was just cute.
“what? “Why are you smiling like that?”
“just.”
“Do not laugh. it’s annoying.”
“why? “Are you not letting me laugh as much as I want?”
“It seems like they’re laughing at something.”
“I’m not laughing at you. “It’s just because it’s so special.”
“That’s even more annoying.”
“sorry.”
“Don’t apologize!”
Rosalind seemed to want to be recognized as a ‘legitimate rival.’
As the conversation progressed, Larsen wanted to tease Rosalyn, but held back. The priority is to approach the folding screen rock.
“So how are you going to find the mountain ranger clan?”
“They say the mountain ranger’s clan likes gold coins. “They said they would faithfully provide directions as long as they were paid enough.”
“That’s right.”
The mountain ranger clan is a clan that appears often.
They live as wanderers at the beginning of a mountain with a rugged terrain, and provide guidance to anyone who wants to climb the mountain.
A clan with a very developed sense of smell and sight and excellent physical strength and strength. It was also a clan with a very high affinity for ‘mountains’.
By classification, it was a human and was identical to humans except that its hair and eyes were green.
“Then how are you going to find the mountain ranger clan?”
“They said they were wandering at the beginning of the mountain. “If you search the entrance to the mountain, you will find the mountain ranger clan.”
“This large place?”
Larsen laughed.
“No matter how wandering the mountain ranger clan is, do you think you would blindly search for them without knowing where and when you would meet them in such a large land?”
Larsen ended up making fun of Rosalyn. I waved my index finger left and right.
“You learned it from books, right?”
“….”
In theory, this is true. It is known that this is the best way to meet the mountain ranger’s clan. However, theory and practice are always different.
“Learning from books isn’t a bad thing. “That’s the basics.”
Actually, that’s close to the best in this world. There are no cell phones or computers here.
There is no YouTube or intellectuals. Books are the best way to gain knowledge. It is true that Rosalind Thane did her best. The best was just a little laughable from the Creator’s point of view.
“So you mean there is another way?”
“Yes.”
In reality, there are different ways for people to call the mountain ranger clan. Although it is not included in the textbook.
“Their characteristic is that they have a very developed sense of smell. And they respect each other’s territory.”
“….”
“In other words, we respect each other’s livelihood. But look around. “Is there a sign or something marking the area?”
“…I don’t think it exists.”
“Then how can you tell them apart?”
Larsen approached a tree.
“It may not be in the textbook, but their urine smell is famous for being very strong. “But you can’t smell it with a normal human nose.”
“How do you get that information…?”
“Their urine is also used as a magic ingredient. “The martial arts experts probably don’t know?”
Larsen said.
“I’m going to pee here, so can you turn around for a moment?”
“….”
Rosaline turned her back.
“Just ask them to turn their backs. “What are you talking about like that?”
“Isn’t it natural that I should fully explain my actions to my colleagues?”
Rosalind was speechless. What Larsen said is correct. It was all right, but I was strangely annoyed.
“So, if you urinate, the mountain ranger’s family will come to visit you?”
“This alone is not enough. “The smell of my urine is very weak compared to the smell of the urine of the mountain ranger’s family.”
“then?”
“Didn’t you hear what Hampton said earlier?”
Only then did Rosalin know what Larsen was trying to do.
‘Martu Potion!’
[This is a potion made by melting the grass called martu, which serves to amplify the specific scent desired. This is a very useful potion when you are in distress on the mountain and are calling for rescue.]
Larsen grinned. Martu potion was sprinkled on the tree soaked with Larsen’s urine.
Larsen plugged his nose. The smell of urine amplified by the Martu potion was extremely unpleasant.
“Now you just have to wait. “They’re a family that can smell amazing, so they’ll show up soon.”
“In this big place… something like that can happen? “There was no such information in the book.”
“of course. “Who would put such vulgar methods in a book?”
Rosalind looked back and forth between Larsen and the tree with a bit of suspicion.
‘Really… is it going to appear?’
A clan wandering in this wide mountain? He came to me after smelling urine? Is that real? There was no such content in the book? Is it very different from what I know?
‘It’s strange. This is strange.’
But then something strange started to happen.
