Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 117
The Magician’s Youngest Son Episode 117
Rosalyn rubbed her eyes.
Not long after Larsen urinated on the tree, as many as three ‘mountain rangers’ appeared.
A clan that lives in the mountains without assimilating into modern civilization. A race known to be ashamed of using tools has appeared.
He was about 170cm tall. What was unusual was that they all had so much hair growing on their bodies that it looked like a bush. From a distance, it looked like a lump of green dust was rolling around.
As many as three members of the mountain ranger’s family ran to the tree, sniffed it, and soon began to show strange behavior by rubbing themselves against the tree.
“What is this smell?”
“It’s a very deadly scent?”
“This is the smell I wanted. “Everyone get out of the way!”
One of the mountain rangers pulled out a few hairs from his body and blew them. Rosalind couldn’t figure out what that thing was doing, so she asked Larsen.
“What is that doing?”
“You want to monopolize the smell. That smell won’t spread far anymore. “It’s a special ability that the mountain ranger clan has.”
“Are you going to say that you found this knowledge at the library?”
Larsen nodded.
“There are so many books and various stories in the library. It’s just that we don’t look for it.”
“….”
“It’s not in textbooks, but it’s a lot of information that comes up in various historical records and story books.”
Of course not. These are facts I know as a creator and writer. Rosalind did not ask any further questions.
[I am amazed at the vast knowledge of the character Larsen Maton in ‘The Rook.’]
I no longer doubted the probability. With the change in nickname and the direction of the character scenario, things changed in Larsen’s favor. Larsen’s mood improved. I felt like I had solved another homework. I feel like I learned one of the ways to solve probability.
Larsen said, feeling a little better.
“The mountain rangers are approaching.”
Small, medium and large by size. A family of three mountain rangers came trotting along. It seemed like a green dust ball was approaching. They approached with their noses wagging and stood in front of Larsen. I sniffed and smelled it.
“Is that you?”
“what?”
“The owner of the ecstatic smell. “This is my first time smelling such a strong smell.”
Rosalind looked at the three mountain rangers. The smallest member of the mountain ranger clan looked young. They seemed to be around the same age as me, and one looked to be in his mid-20s. Another person looked to be at least 50 years old.
Larsen nodded.
“I was in a hurry so I was rude, but I got caught.”
The smallest mountain ranger asked.
“Can you give it to me again?”
“Are you telling me to urinate again?”
“no! “Put it in a bottle here.”
The mountain ranger took out a bottle from his fur. Rosalind was beyond absurd. What kind of weird thing is this? Give me your urine in a bottle. It was disgusting to even think about it.
Larsen continued unfazed.
“Why do you need this?”
“I think it can make a very strong territorial mark. “Competition is fierce these days.”
They mark their territory with urine.
The stronger the smell of urine, the better. The scent lingers for a long time, and while the scent lasts, the area is the territory of the mountain ranger’s clan.
If the mountain ranger’s clan with a stronger smell covers up the existing smell with their own urine, their territory is taken over. It was their tradition and way of life.
Larsen shook his head.
“no. “I won’t give it to you.”
“why!”
“I don’t want to do business with you.”
Larsen pointed his finger at the largest mountain ranger clan.
“you. “How old are you?”
“I am 56 years old.”
“Good. Have you ever climbed a folding screen rock?”
“The folding screen rock is like my front yard.”
The mountain ranger clan is a clan whose age and skills are almost proportional. Of course, there were slight differences between each individual, but it was still a unique race in which age and skill were proportional.
“Then it would be nice if you could give me some guidance.”
“My price is high. Will it be enough to pay? I am different from those children. I can’t be satisfied with your secretions. “The smell of my urine is strong enough.”
“How much?”
“I calculate by the hour. “It’s 3 million grand per hour.”
When Rosalind looked, the expressions of the small-sized mountain ranger clan and the medium-sized mountain ranger clan stiffened. They sighed.
“Anyway, adults add more. “If I make some concessions, what will be gained?”
“That’s right.”
The two admitted defeat and returned to the forest. I didn’t forget to smell the urine one more time on my way back. Appearance was quick, but exit was also quick. Larsen grinned without anyone noticing.
‘It seems like your skills are solid.’
The other mountain ranger clans gave up completely. Even with the ridiculous price of 3 million grand per hour, they didn’t give a damn.
He seemed to be a considerable figure within the mountain ranger’s clan. That was what Larsen had hoped for.
Rosalind’s body flinched.
Although she was the only daughter of a large family called Grandel, a master of martial arts, she knew full well that 3 million grand per hour was too much. So I was about to say something, but Larsen blocked my way.
Larsen spoke instead of Rosalyn.
“Three million grand per hour. “It’s amazing.”
In Korean currency, this is equivalent to 3 million won. 3 million won per hour just to guide you up the mountain.
In fact, you may think it is an expensive price. But Larsen felt better.
‘He’s quite a big guy.’
The mountain ranger’s clan does not play around with guide fees.
They receive a guide fee that they think is reasonable. The other mountain ranger clans didn’t care about it either. In other words, this clan of mountain rangers has enough ability to receive 3 million grand per hour.
Some people feel that this money is a waste and look for other mountain ranger clans, but that is foolish. For Larsen, money is not important, but skill is important.
“If you think it’s too expensive, just don’t hire it. “If there is no work, I will go back.”
Larsen shrugged.
“If the smell of your urine was as strong as the smell of mine, those young mountain rangers wouldn’t have been so crazy.”
“It’s not wrong. “It was an amazing scent.”
“I know that bottling it is a one-time thing anyway and doesn’t seem very attractive to you. But what about this?”
Larsen took a step forward. And whispered softly.
“Can you tell me how to create that smell?”
“Is there a way to do that?”
“if there is?”
The mountainkeeper clan was lost in thought for a moment.
“If that’s the case, that’s fine. “If you tell me how, I will guide you.”
Anyway, this method will be released to the world before long.
To be more precise, the ‘mountain keeper clan’, which has built a wall away from worldly civilization, learns this method from humans. I didn’t even set up when and where to learn. However, in the middle of the work, there is a story about the mountain rangers amplifying the smell of their own urine using this method.
Rosalind had no choice but to hold her tongue.
‘It doesn’t seem like a rare method among Germans…’
Isn’t this a potion that even has an official name? This is why information is money and power. I had no idea that high-quality manpower worth 3 million grand per hour could be used so easily. Suddenly, I felt a little afraid of Larsen.
Larsen asked.
“Have there been any changes to the folding screen rock recently?”
“change? “There was.”
The mountain ranger’s clan pointed to the sky.
“Look at the sky over there.”
“sky?”
I looked up at the sky. I saw clouds. The sky itself was clear. I didn’t see anything special.
“Very high. “There’s an eagle floating, can’t you see it?”
“I can’t see it.”
I heard that their eyesight was incredibly good, and it seemed to be true. According to the mountain ranger’s clan, there is an eagle flying behind the clouds.
“That guy wasn’t that big to begin with. “It was just an ordinary bald eagle.”
It is an animal named because it has white hair-like hair on the top of its head. It is classified as an animal rather than a monster, but it is also an entity that usually does not harm people.
“But recently, it grew huge and started eating our clan.”
“Bald eagles don’t eat people.”
It is said that demonization has progressed. Due to some influence. The mountain ranger clan continued.
“It looks like a dungeon may have been created there. “I didn’t go near it because it was dangerous.”
“That’s where our goal is.”
“Explorer?”
“Not just an explorer. Anyway, we have something to see in that dungeon. “Can you guide me?”
“Guidance is not difficult. “I just need to guide you to Folding Screen Rock, right?”
“that’s right. “Please guide me there.”
“I will guide you. But you have to be careful. That guy is aiming for prey in the sky. “I don’t know if they will attack me at any moment.”
“Are we going to attack all the way up to the folding screen rock?”
“I guess so. “A lot of our family suffered as well.”
A clan of mountain rangers who know the topography of this mountain well? If that’s the case, it means that the invisible ‘bald eagle’ is a very special person.
Larsen gave up climbing the folding screen rock.
“Then come back in a few days. A week later. “It would be nice to meet you here again.”
* * *
Larsen decided to climb the folding screen rock again a week later. First, we moved to the inn where Hampton settled first. Rosaline asked.
“Why did you postpone it a week?”
“Because there is no time limit?”
There is no particular time limit. If so, you need to prepare a little.
“This is an arrangement prepared by my father and the head of the Grandel family. “You kept it a secret in the Shadow Wastes, but now we both know it.”
“that’s right.”
“Would it be easier to tell them the problem and ask them to find the answer, or to tell them the problem and ask them to find the answer?”
“Of course, it’s easier to tell people about the problem.”
“But if it’s easy, it’s not fair. The matriarch of Grandel and my father must have increased the difficulty level significantly. “The bald eagle is proof of that.”
Climbing the folding screen rock is not easy. It is dangerous even though you have an excellent guide who costs 3 million grand per hour to guide you. Then you need to prepare.
“In the end, I think I’ll have to kill that guy to avoid being attacked by him.”
“Is there a way to kill him?”
“huh. Norran ice circle 2 magic. I’m going to use ice arrows. “It seems impossible to climb Folding Screen Rock without remote-type magic.”
Decatra may want to test Larsen’s ‘long-distance attack ability’.
“You can kill such a monster with an ice arrow?”
“If you want to test remote magic, you have to take the test.”
“But ice arrows are circle 2.”
Up to the 2nd circle, it is classified as assistant. No matter how famous Northan ice magic is, there is no way it can hunt monsters with circle 2 magic.
“There is a way.”
A week has passed. Meanwhile, Larsen interpreted the ‘Nothran Beginner Ice Spellbook’ into Cheonan and learned the 2nd circle ‘Ice Arrow’ magic.
Entrance to Serk Mountain.
As promised, the mountain ranger’s family appeared. He held a wooden staff in his hand.
“Let’s start guiding.”
I started climbing the forest. About 3 hours passed. As befits an excellent guide, no crisis ever came. We arrived at a relatively flat area with rocks scattered here and there.
“This is where attacks are most frequent.”
Larsen looked up at the sky. Attacks are frequent. If it comes from a clan of mountain rangers with that level of skill, it’s almost certain. They expected an attack and raised their strength. Rosalind was also nervous.
‘I trust Larsen, but…’
But that doesn’t mean I’m going to catch a monster with a 2-circle ice arrow. This is a very absurd idea.
‘I’m sure there are other ideas.’
From Rosalyn’s perspective, Larsen had a lot to hide and the amount of knowledge he had in his head was enormous. He must have come up with a unique and bizarre method. I decided to watch. But there was no attack.
Larsen said.
“We will wait here. Until that guy attacks.”
The mountain ranger’s family squeezed themselves into the crevices of the rocks.
“as you please. “I just need to guide you.”
How much time has passed? ‘Living’ was captured in Larsen’s Cheonan. It was the deadly force emanating from a bald eagle. I felt it flying towards me.
‘fast.’
It was much faster than I thought. At that moment, a shadow appeared on the ground. It was huge. It reached about 7 meters in size. The bald eagle targeted Larsen as prey. Larsen felt exactly that.
‘A little closer.’
The guy came quickly. It was really fast, but Larsen wasn’t fazed.
[property. ‘Slowly flowing’ is applied.]
We observed the approach of a bald eagle by applying the attributes of the character Larsen Mayton. In the meantime, I increased my strength.
[The 2nd circle ice magic ‘Ice Arrow’ is used.]
[The 1st circle transcendental magic ‘Interaction’ is applied.]
With the help of the Holy Grail, the 2nd circle magic ‘Ice Arrow’ was used. I felt Rosaline’s eyes on me. Rosalind’s gaze was full of doubt.
An arrow was created in Larsen’s right hand. An arrow was fired. A strong cold air blew around. An arrow pierced the bald eagle’s head.
The bald eagle couldn’t even scream and fell to the ground.
thud!
There was a sound. Dust rose up.
The bald eagle died so easily and in vain. It was too weak for a monster that ate several members of the mountain ranger’s family and suddenly turned into a monster.
The size of the dead bald eagle gradually became smaller. The body, which was 7 meters long, gradually became smaller, down to 1 meter in size.
Rosalyn asked without any tension.
“It’s too easy, isn’t it?”
If Decatra had wanted to test Larsen’s ‘remote system ability’, he would not have deployed such a weak monster. This was strange. Larsen also thought it was strange.
‘what?’
The bald eagle’s body began to rot in an instant. A very unpleasant smell wafted out. At that moment, a thought crossed Larsen’s mind.
‘no way?’
‘Bald Eagle’ seemed to be a gimmick.
