Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 122

The Youngest Son of the Magic Family Episode 122

“I wonder what you saw there, what you felt, and what you judged that made you think like that. “There is only one person in the world who knows the secret there.”

My heart was beating hot, but my head was cold. The opponent is Decatra. You must use a conversation style that suits Decatra.

“How can you be confident that there is only one person who knows the secret there?”

Only one person knows the secret. This means that Decatra himself, who is saying those words, knows the secret. Larsen interpreted it that way.

“What do you mean?”

“I’m telling you it might not be just one person.”

Decatra chuckled.

“no. There is one person. “Unless there are two heads of Mayton.”

“Was there a hidden arrangement that only the Maton family head could know about?”

Decatra did not answer. With narrowed eyes, I waited for Larsen’s answer. Larsen’s head grew colder.

“father. “I will tell you something honestly.”

“….”

It might be a little rude. If Decatra’s mood worsens, the tower he worked so hard to build may collapse.

‘If I don’t do it right, I’ll die at 17 anyway.’

An event must occur that exceeds the resilience of this world. We must effectively twist this world to the extent that probability allows.

“okay. Tell me. “But your attitude is not very desirable.”

“I did this because you invited me here as your son. 7 If you want me to treat you like a prince, I will do so.”

Larsen knows. Decatra was not disappointed with his attitude. The attitude itself is okay. But can you say something that matches that attitude? That’s just the problem.

“Tell me. “Son.”

Larsen thought for a moment. Should you dig in a straight line or take a detour? Today I decided to dig into straight lines. I decided to go straight towards Decatra.

“You said there was only one person who knew the secret of that place and that was the head of Mayton. “It must be that there is a secret that the head of the family knows…”

His words trailed off a little. Although I was trembling on the inside, I continued speaking without showing it on the outside.

“But you don’t know the secret.”

“What is the basis?”

“My father asked Rosalynn to visit Folding Screen Rock and said that I would obtain an arrangement similar to Rosalynn’s.”

It didn’t exactly do that. However, Larsen said that he was assuming that, and Decatra did not specifically deny it.

‘If he had known that I would obtain Alberto’s arrangement there, he would not have agreed.’

In other words, even Decatra didn’t know what was there. I just know that something is hidden there. Only the head of the family knows that fact. That’s a fact. That was just the facts. Decatra’s words and actions were a clever mixture of truth and lies.

“But this is the arrangement I got there.”

Didn’t hide it. This is what Heira felt. There’s no way Decatra couldn’t feel that. I took out the Thunder Dragon Stone.

“Thunder Dragon Stone?”

“Do you know what this is?”

“It is a stone said to contain the legendary Thunder Dragon. “I’ve read about it in books, but this is my first time seeing it in person.”

Decatra looked at the thunder dragon stone as if it was not very interesting.

“I’ll give it to you if you tell me you need it.”

“It’s yours.”

“thank you.”

Decatra grinned. Decatra knows why Larsen said that. It was to hear from Decatra himself, ‘It’s yours.’ Without those words, the Thunder Dragon Stone might have been taken away by the brothers.

“It’s a clever technique, but it’s not a good one. “Rather demand recognition of ownership of this.”

“sorry. However, I sincerely planned to give it to my father if he said he needed it. “I don’t know what this is for and I don’t have the power to protect it.”

Decatra nodded. For now, Larsen is doing the best he can. It didn’t look bad. ‘I really meant to give it to you.’ I didn’t hate those words. I thought it was amazing.

But I haven’t received the answer I want yet.

“Give me the answer I want. “Who designed that place?”

Only then did Larsen provide an answer.

“A beautiful woman with red hair and red eyes who claimed to have two hearts appeared in my dream. He claimed it was a [visionary dream].”

Decatra. And I learned from my experience with Rosalyn. Logic alone is not the answer. Even if it’s illogical, you just need to be able to convince the characters.

“I learned a lot from my dream.”

* * *

After dismissing Larsen, Decatra sat down at his desk. Senkan, who had entered the study after receiving Decatra’s call, stood across from him. Next to him was Heira, Larsen’s shadow.

“That guy mentioned the first head of the family.”

Senkan and Heira were silent. Decatra paid no heed and continued speaking.

“Keisa Mayton appeared in Larsen’s dream.”

There was silence again. Decatra laughed as if it was absurd. asked Heira.

“Hey. “What did he say?”

“If it were him….”

“Gray.”

It was already almost 30 years ago. Decatra killed the prophet Gray by burning him alive. And he killed Gray’s hometown and all the humans related to Gray.

Senkan and Heira were together at the scene. Among Gray’s acquaintances, the only one who survived was Heira. The person who tied Gray up with rope was also Heira.

“He foretold Mayton’s destruction.”

“Not that one.”

“It was said that in order to prevent the destruction of Mayton, a true successor to Kaysa Mayton was needed.”

“however?”

“It was said that the probability of Kaysa Mayton’s successor appearing is close to zero, and as a result, Mayton will not escape extinction.”

“If Kaysa Mayton’s successor appears, how did you say it would appear?”

“It is said to be extremely irrational, illogical, and based on a strange phenomenon that cannot be explained by common sense.”

Larsen is exactly like that.

Larsen’s change is illogical. It’s not common sense. Larsen’s actions are also difficult to explain with logic. Starting from the stem of the caroutine flower, all of my actions up to now are like this. In addition, they are now claiming that it is a ‘real dream of Kaysa Mayton’. This all makes no sense.

“Recite his will.”

Prophet Gray.

He burned away leaving behind these prophecies.

[You are extremely arrogant and laughable. A blade whose reason for existence is unexplained will cut through all your veins. However, the one who fills the reason for existence is the one who eventually blooms…]

Prophet Gray left his words there and died smiling. That was almost the only regret Decatra had in his life.

Let’s see what Gray says at the end. Looking back 30 years later, most of what Gray said was true.

“Now that guy Larsen is claiming to have a present dream.”

“Did you mention Kaysa Mayton?”

“no.”

Larsen explained it this way:

[A beautiful woman with red hair and red eyes who claimed to have two hearts appeared in my dream.]

Decatra asked.

“Hey. “I am a descendant of the shadow clan bound by an oath.”

It was different from when singing Heira in general. It was a fairly official title. Heira adjusted her posture. I listened to Decatra.

“Please speak.”

“It was recorded that Kaysa Mayton did not want to leave her image to future generations. “Am I right?”

“you’re right. That’s why he didn’t even leave a portrait.”

“But if you were a shadow clan bound by an oath, you would have seen Kaysa Maton’s appearance in the shadows.”

When I was young, I heard a story from Heira called Decatra. Kaysa Mayton was truly a beautiful and strong woman, with red hair and red eyes.

“You have red hair and red eyes. “It was an unusual appearance at the time.”

“Did you explain that to Larsen?”

“I’ve never done it before.”

“But I knew. About Kaysa Mayton.”

And he added one more word.

“They said I had two hearts. You probably know Kaysa Mayton. “What do you think about Larsen’s words?”

“….”

Heira didn’t say anything.

“That was the answer. What Larsen saw was definitely my ancestor. It’s a dream. “It is an extremely illogical and irrational phenomenon.”

Descartes haha! I laughed. Senkan asked cautiously.

“If what Gray said is true, shouldn’t we start raising Larsen Mayton from now on?”

“no.”

Decatra flatly refused.

“A bird that cannot grow on its own cannot fly. “How could a mage who couldn’t grow up on his own dare to fulfill his prophecy?”

Even if it puts you through even more hardships, you put your hat on the table. Senkan answered.

“But I think you can give me a light gift. “I feel like it’s too late to start.”

“gift. “It’s a gift.”

Senkan read Decatra’s mind.

In fact, even Decatra would have wanted to give his son a gift.

But it wasn’t given. Descartes deliberately ignored the affection he had for his youngest son, which kept appearing in his eyes. That was read in Senkan’s eyes. So I told him to give me a gift.

“okay. “A small gift would be fine.”

“yes. I heard that you obtained the Thunder Dragon Stone. I think a small gift related to him would be appropriate.”

* * *

Larsen felt like he had returned to the Maple Annex after a long time. Since I spent more time camping outside than sleeping indoors, resting at the Maple Annex was very sweet.

Larsen lay down on a soft bed.

‘It’s really the end of money making.’

There is a magic formula engraved on this bed. It maintains the perfect temperature for sleeping all year round, and the blanket is infused with a cleansing formula.

There is a magic that operates almost permanently, but these everyday magic items cannot be obtained even with money. Since this place is Maton, a famous magic town, it only seems common.

‘anyway. ‘My father’s reaction was a bit strange.’

I intentionally did not use the specific word ‘Keisa Mayton’.

I talked to my father by mixing truth with lies. I thought it was a good choice to bring up a historical figure named Keisa Mayton instead of a fictional character named Alberto. Because my father was persuaded. The magician in the sky did not doubt the probability.

‘I think there was a bit more to it than that.’

It seemed like he was more than just convinced and a little shocked. Of course, I couldn’t tell for sure because he had an expressionless face, but it was a little different from usual anyway.

At that time, the visit opened.

“Hey, my little brother. I did one thing. “I also received an official invitation from Grandel.”

“….”

Larsen stood up. I saw a woman with only one arm. Characters that have changed from the original. It was Persha, the third princess who became a one-armed mage.

“I came because I had a favor to ask you.”

Persha chuckled and laughed.

“sister. I am performing a pilgrimage ritual. “I’m glad to see your face, but I don’t think it’s the right time to leisurely ask for favors.”

“well.”

“You can’t force me.”

“I can’t force you. But you can force your toy.”

“You have already acknowledged my ownership. “Your one arm proves it.”

Persha giggled.

“okay. This is what Mayton is like. “I like how confident it is.”

“….”

“Can I try cutting off your arm later? Still, I’m looking forward to it because I think it will be confident.”

“It’s not possible.”

Her eyes formed a half moon.

“You are firm, my brother.”

She seemed really happy.

“Anyway, listen. “It’s okay to ask for a favor and then refuse it, right?”

Persha continued talking to herself as if it didn’t matter. However, there was an interesting fact hidden in that ‘request’.
