Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 118

Magic Master’s Youngest Son Episode 118

‘Bald Eagle’ is a trick. Larsen bent his knees. He stretched out his fist towards the mountain ranger clan who were hiding in a narrow gap. The mountain ranger’s clan was unable to dodge the punch.

bang!

Larsen’s fist collided with the mountain keeper’s skull, creating a loud sound.

Rosaline trembled. She was a little angry.

“What are you doing?”

There is no doubt that the mountain ranger clan was a clan with excellent mountain climbing skills, but their military power was insignificant.

He didn’t have the talent to withstand a full-blown blow from Larsen.

The mountain ranger’s family, who were hiding in a narrow gap and were hit by Larsen’s fist without any chance to escape, died on the spot.

Larsen raised his index finger.

“Shh.”

I gently pressed Rosaline’s head. Rosalind also decided to trust Larsen. In the past, it would have been difficult, but for now, I did as Larsen told me.

Some time has passed. Nothing happened.

Rosalyn and Larsen stood up. Rosaline asked.

“I need you to explain.”

The mountain ranger’s clan is not guilty. Killing an innocent person is a crime. Even if the opponent is a relative of a magic master, killing someone without justification or reason is not allowed.

“Do you need an explanation?”

Larsen pointed to a crevice in the rock with his finger.

“look.”

“….”

Rosalind looked at the place where the corpses of the mountain ranger clan were supposed to be. there was nothing.

“It disappeared like smoke. “The body.”

“Nonsense.”

“That doesn’t make sense.”

Rosalind approached the rock crevice and looked with suspicious eyes. A faint trace of mana remained.

‘I’ve never heard of a mountain ranger’s clan being vaporized and disappearing.’

They are people too. When you die, you leave a corpse behind. But there is no body. That means they were not from the mountain ranger clan.

“Then what was it?”

“Just follow me.”

Larsen held Rosalyn’s wrist and walked about 100 meters. Among the thick bushes. Larsen knelt down and examined the ground carefully.

“So far.”

“There are footprints?”

When I touched it, a slightly warm energy remained. Rosalind felt strange.

“It suddenly cut off from here. “Footprints.”

There wasn’t just one footprint.

“Looking at the size and shape of the footprints, there is a high probability that it is a monster in the form of a four-legged animal.”

A monster that can appear on a mountain of this size and yet considers ‘bald eagles’ as its prey. There was a high probability that it was a hyena-type monster.

“It’s a group of monsters with a leader.”

“I think so.”

The size of the footprints of the monster that was probably leading the way was two to three times larger than the size of the other footprints.

“The number is at least 10. “It must have been difficult for the two of us to deal with it alone.”

“If these entities were moving, we should have definitely sensed their presence.”

If it had been an animal-shaped monster and not a monster living in the shadows, I would have definitely been able to sense its presence. Rosalind was puzzled by that. In the end, I was able to come to one conclusion.

“Do you really mean that they were magically summoned?”

Larsen nodded.

“It makes sense if you explain it that way.”

A beast-like monster was summoned through magic. The summoned monsters moved in this direction to attack Larsen’s group or the body of the bald eagle. Meanwhile, the summoner died. So the monsters that were summoned also disappeared. It was a plausible inference.

“Rosalyn. It was a good decision not to hit me right away. “That guy must have been an entity that took on the form of a mountain ranger and could handle magic.”

“….”

I didn’t think Larsen would kill the mountain ranger’s family for no reason. Rosaline asked this time.

“When did you know it was suspicious?”

“Ever since he showed up with a cane.”

The mountainkeeper clan is a clan that hates modern civilization. They are a clan that has chosen to live in a primitive state. But when he first appeared, he was holding a stick.

Larsen returned to the spot where he had killed the mountain ranger’s family earlier and put his hand into the crevice of the rock.

“here. There is a stick. “There is a magic formula engraved on it.”

“Can you feel that?”

“huh. “I didn’t feel it before, but it seems that the effect that blocked the spell disappeared when the caster died.”

The size of the stick was about 50cm. Larsen put it into subspace.

I know that the mountainkeeper clan was fake, and I also know that the mountainkeeper clan tried to attack us by summoning monsters.

I even understand that the condition required to summon that monster is something like ‘killing a bald eagle.’

‘But why?’

What if the mountain ranger’s clan was a ‘wizard’?

‘Is there any reason for a wizard who uses summoning magic to this degree to attack me?’

weird. No matter how you think about it, it’s strange. If they wanted to attack, they could have dug a more elaborate trap. A wizard skilled in disguise magic and summoning magic. There was absolutely no reason for such a wizard to attack him.

‘It also makes me wonder why he hid himself in a place where he couldn’t escape.’

Didn’t he act as if he was advertising for people to kill him?

‘The strangest thing is that I am doubting the probability, but the world has no response.’

Usually, when faced with a strange situation like this, a gray world unfolds.

Probabilities must be adjusted using ‘one line addition’, which is the creator’s privilege. But there is no response. If so, it means that there is nothing strange about the probability, or that there is no need to match the probability.

Larsen had to revise his initial thoughts.

“I thought it was the intervention of Grandel’s matriarch or my father that made the bald eagle stronger. “I think that might not be the case.”

“then?”

“This place might have been built like this from the beginning.”

I’m not sure yet. Just one thing came to mind.

‘Hangeul was visible on the folding screen rock.’

This place is most likely arranged by Kirtel and Alberto. I explored around a bit. Rosalind seemed a little worried.

“Is it okay to move without the mountain ranger clan?”

“well. “I think there’s a high chance that we won’t get what we want if we get help from the mountain ranger clan.”

The mountain ranger’s family must have climbed up and down the folding screen rock countless times. If there had been ‘Kirtel and Alberto’s arrangement’ that could be found with the guidance of the mountain ranger’s family, it would have been discovered a long time ago.

‘Hidden so as not to be discovered.’

Larsen had already discovered it. Letters that only Larsen can read. Clues left behind. Larsen continued to look around. And I was eventually able to find it.

A half-rotten tree. There were letters engraved there in Korean.

Bellatudo’s office. Decatra sat down in the chair there. I took a sip of warm tea, but frowned as if it had no taste.

“Can’t you make some delicious tea? “Is this the only way to make this good Wolyeong tea?”

“Even if I give them something good, they still say something.”

Bellatudo grinned and sat across from Decatra.

“Why did you come here dragging your heavy ass again?”

“Have we ever had tea made from the stems of caroutine flowers?”

“well. “Is there such a thing as a caroutine flower?”

To Bellatudo, a martial artist, the Karoutine flower did not seem to be very important. In fact, most people don’t even know the name of this flower.

“As expected.”

“what?”

“I wondered if there was any connection.”

“So what?”

“It’s a secret.”

Bellatu also drank Wolyeong tea. They say it tastes good, but it’s needlessly sophisticated. Bellatudo asked, slightly grumpy.

“Isn’t it time to tell me? “What are you hiding in the folding screen rock?”

The arrangement hidden in the Shadow Wasteland was in fact a collaboration between Decatra and Bellatudo. However, the ‘Folding Screen Rock’ project was carried out by Decatra alone.

“I do not know either.”

“what?”

“I only told you what the prophet’s journal records. “It’s not something I specifically put together.”

Bellatudo frowned deeply.

“And what if something happens to my daughter?”

“I guess you promised yourself not to grow it like a flower in a greenhouse?”

Decatra grinned openly.

“So, can you overtake Larsen?”

Decatra was intoxicated with a subtle sense of victory. It has been a long time since I felt this sense of victory since I ascended to the rank of the absolute. Because he was always a winner and was overly accustomed to winning.

“I thought it was a carefully planned arrangement since you spoke so confidently. “If anything happens to my daughter, I’ll tear your fucking head off.”

“The sea I hoped for.”

Decatra closed his eyes slightly.

“It’s unlikely, but if the prophet is really right, a lot of things will probably change.”

Larsen and Rosalyn were a little tired. Around that time, I discovered a small cave.

“I think I should rest here for a bit.”

Quite a few monsters attacked.

Big and small monsters. Although it was not life-threatening, it was difficult to deal with because of the large number. It was physically taxing.

Rosaline sat with her back against the cave wall.

“Is the folding screen rock still far away?”

“I don’t think it’s that far.”

Larsen also leaned his back against the cave wall.

“Can we rest like this? “There is no escape route here.”

“are you okay. “Monsters can’t come in here.”

‘Hangeul’ told us. This cave is where a ‘spirit’ lived a long time ago, and its energy remains, so monsters cannot approach it.

Rosaline tilted her head.

“Surprisingly, I feel like my physical strength is recovering well.”

“I know.”

Perhaps it is because of the spiritual energy of that ‘spiritual creature’. After recovering their stamina, Larsen and Rosalyn went out of the cave. Larsen followed the ‘Hangul signpost’ and headed to Byeongpungbawi Rock.

After wandering for three days, Larsen and Rosalyn were able to arrive at Folding Screen Rock. A very tall and large rock. A place that spreads out like a folding screen.

Larsen approached the rock.

Right in front of the folding screen rock.

There was a rock the size of a human body, and it also had Korean written on it. Writing that only Larsen can see.

[Find the key and open the folding screen rock.]

There was a hole about 10cm in diameter in the rock. The curved surface was smooth, as if someone had artificially polished it.

Larsen didn’t think for long.

‘also.’

The plan began with killing the guy who was disguised as a member of the mountain ranger clan.

‘It matches the shape of the stick.’

It was designed this way from the beginning. So there was no need to fill in the probabilities. I took out the stick left by the mountain keeper’s family from sub-space and pushed it into the hole.

Kugugoogung!

An earthquake began to occur.

The entire folding screen rock shook. It was difficult to keep my balance. Rosaline looked up.

“What is it?”

The huge folding screen rock was split in half, and a path leading upward was visible in between.

There was someone standing up the road.
