Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 125

The Youngest Son of the Magic Family Episode 125

Lydia tilted her head.

“why? Why here?”

Kashin was silent for a moment. It seemed a little difficult to speak. Larsen answered for me.

“This is one of those places where drug lords rule.”

“Drug lord? “They say it’s Seideyeong.”

“It is known externally as a place ruled by Seid. That’s right…”

“Stop. Larsen. Since it is the Seid family’s private affairs, I, as a blood relative of the Seid family, will tell you.”

Larsen nodded. Kashin continued. That place is ruled by the drug lord ‘Henker’. It was a place where drug addicts and various criminals gathered, and it was also a city of entertainment and entertainment.

Lydia nodded after hearing Kashin’s explanation.

“ah. So it’s like an unprotected area?”

If the Seid family decides to conquer the place and strengthen their control, they can do it. But it doesn’t do that.

In order to rule there, the Seid family must shed blood, and the income gained is minimal compared to the blood shed. So I just left it alone.

So it became a place where the order of the famous family could not reach. It was also a place where the words of drug lord ‘Henker’ were more important than the orders or power of the world’s three most famous families.

Cassin muttered.

“Still, it would be dangerous there.”

Larsen also agreed that it was dangerous. So I asked.

“Kashin, do you have any good ideas?”

“I don’t think taking the Seid family’s swordsmen is a good choice.”

“why?”

“If you want to take away the swordsmen from the main family, you have to take them in large numbers. It could be a declaration of war on Henker. “No matter our intentions, they cannot help but feel that their lives are in danger.”

Larsen nodded. There is truth to that statement. How can a person maintain composure in the face of a wild beast? It’s the same thing.

Lydia said.

“Then how about sending a letter to Mr. Henker? “We’re going there, so you can just tell us not to touch it.”

Larsen shook his head.

“Heir of a famous magic family. And the heir of a master swordsman is a match made in heaven and is going to visit the [Northern Great Basin]? “We can’t do it because of our family’s honor, and secondly, we can’t do it because of our pride.”

In fact, Larsen doesn’t care about pride as long as there is a safe method, but Kashin is different. For Kashin, cause and pride are important. He had the personality of a protagonist in a novel.

Kashin said.

“I can’t bow down to drug lord Henker.”

“Why are you lowering your head? “Sending letters is a good thing.”

“Because we are asking permission for our passage.”

The heir of a master swordsman seemed unable to admit that fact. Larsen nodded. Everything Kashin said is correct.

‘Definitely… not an ordinary 14-year-old.’

Since he is the author who created this place, his perspective may be much broader than that of ordinary people, but Kashin is different. Kashin is a 14-year-old boy living in this world.

What did I do when I was 14? Looking at Kashin, he is definitely not your typical 14-year-old. He is gradually taking on the appearance of a protagonist in a novel.

Kashin spoke again.

“I think you can confidently go in through the front door and come out. “There is no need to notify in advance.”

“You could say the reason for the visit was a request from the Fire Witch [Persha].”

“that’s right.”

The two successors chose Jeonggongbeop. Instead of hiding it, I decided to open everything.

Larsen said.

“And there. Surprisingly, public safety will be good. There is a high probability that nothing will happen. “As long as we don’t cause trouble.”

“okay?”

“It is known to be a lawless area where the power of the famous family cannot reach, but forces other than the famous family are clearly in control.”

There is a law that is a little more ruthless and cruel than the law of the famous family.

“It’s a den of criminals and drug dealers. Can a society survive without a strong ruling power? “Isn’t the history of the [Northern Great Basin] quite old?”

“As far as I know, it’s been over 30 years.”

“The fact that they have maintained that society for over 30 years means that they have strong control and their own order.”

Kashin grinned.

“You’re right.”

Larsen and his group took direction. We crossed the ‘Northern Mountains’ and headed to ‘Sodium’, a city of entertainment located in the ‘Northern Great Basin’ surrounded by the Northern Mountains.

* * *

An office filled with hazy smoke. There were various scents. This is because the burning grass is called ‘five-scented herb’ because five scents can be felt when lit.

It was a highly addictive drug that made you feel good and sometimes caused you to hallucinate.

A woman was visible through the white smoke. She looked down at a man kneeling in a black dress decorated with red embroidery, sitting cross-legged on a black chair.

“The quality of the five-spice herb is poor.”

“sorry.”

“What was the name of the grower?”

“Curagora is a farmer. “We have been supplying five-spice candles for seven years.”

The man put the five-spice plant in his mouth and chewed it. He frowned deeply.

“Go and cut off his head.”

“…All right.”

The man who knelt could not disobey the woman’s words. That woman’s words are the law of this place. This place is ruled by that woman. The woman’s name is Henker. It was the name of a northern drug lord.

Henker opens the five-spice plant! I spat it out. A guy called a farmer. I touched on fertilizer.

“I should have eaten it in moderation.”

Some expediency and illegality are tolerated. But this was too severe. The quality has dropped too much. They turn a blind eye to most illegal activities until they cross the line, but if they do, they are mercilessly sentenced to death.

Not long after, a man brought in a man’s supply.

“I cut off your head.”

Henker sat cross-legged, looked at the severed head, and said:

“I killed him too comfortably.”

The cut surface was very clean.

“Next time, please inflict more pain.”

“…yes.”

“And then.”

Henker grinned.

“A letter has arrived from the Fire Witch.”

One of Mayton’s successor candidates. A letter arrived from Princess Persia. The two kids who received my request are heading here.

“You mean the Third Princess of Persia?”

“that’s right. what. Don’t be nervous. “No matter how great Persha is, this is Seid territory, and what she can do is limited.”

“…yes.”

“The question is why did you send me this letter?”

This letter only contained the ‘fact’ that the two children were heading to this place. There was no mention of ensuring their safety or testing them or anything like that.

“Dave. “I tend to trust your brain.”

“Thank you, master.”

“Why did Persia bother to send a letter?”

Henker grinned.

“Can I interpret this to mean that you should behave yourself well?”

Dave’s body, who was playing the role of Henker’s henchman and trickster, trembled. Henker seemed a little proud now. But he didn’t lie.

“It is interpreted that way. And Persian will know that his master will interpret it that way.”

“It means it was an overt provocation.”

Henker’s smile deepened.

“It’s as if you want me, out of pride, to kill those two little kids.”

“What do you plan to do?”

“You should give your opinion on that. What do you think?”

“I think it is right to treat them with the utmost respect.”

“Treatment with extreme hospitality? “Why should we do that?”

“One is unidentified, but one is definitely one of Mayton’s successors. A fourteen-year-old boy. Why did he visit the City of Joy? The three major families pay great attention to their public reputation and image. Moreover, Larsen Mayton has been famous for being a bitch since ancient times.”

Henker nodded.

“So it means to treat them with the utmost respect.”

“A fourteen-year-old successor to a famous family who visited the Northern Great Basin. I think it is better to bury him socially than to kill him directly. I think you know very well how the world will think that we have been treated so kindly. “Maton’s anger, if any, will be directed not at us who treated him, but at the 7th Prince who was treated indiscriminately.”

Giving a treat isn’t a bad thing. They treated the successors of famous families in their own way. Mayton can’t be angry. That’s true for Mayton. Even if I get angry, I will direct it to the ‘Seven Confucius’ and not the ‘Northern Great Basin’.

“If he gets addicted to drugs, it’s better for us.”

“That’s right.”

Henker sat with his legs crossed and rested his chin. I was lost in thought.

“But who is the other guy?”

“If Persha wanted the master to step forward and kill or injure those two, there is a high probability that he is the heir of a master swordsman.”

“Kashin Seid? Sayde’s genius?”

“yes. If that happens, Mayton can blow his nose without even touching it. An angry Seidgar will destroy us.”

“Persia is also very mean.”

“Persia is not the type of person to make a fuss like this.”

“I guess that means there’s a reason why I have to keep my head down?”

Dave nodded.

“It’s not clear yet, but the Sayid family and the Mayton family may clash.”

“Hoo? “Keep talking.”

“I’m not sure. For now, please listen with one ear and let it go with the other.”

“Okay, let’s talk.”

Dave talked about the information gathered to date.

“…That’s how it happened. If that happens and the Seid family declares war against the Maton family…”

“That war will last at least 10 years. “In general, swordsmanship is slightly more advantageous than magic, but swordsmen have to cross the Black Sea.”

“Is the successor holding strong or not? “That difference can change the future.”

“So the Persians tried to use our hands to kill the two kids?”

Henker took a deep breath of the five-spice smoke. A highly addictive drug. Although it is a drug that causes hallucinations, Henker’s mind actually became clearer.

“If Larsen had died here with us, we could have served the cause.”

The Mayton family did not kill Kashin through trickery. We also lost one successor candidate. It was an unfortunate accident. It can be argued like this.

Henker thought of something. I stood up.

“Hmm. “Is it a political issue?”

The dark red dress was flowing down a little. A white shoulder line was visible.

“It will be fun.”

* * *

Larsen and his party arrived at the ‘Northern Mountains’ without much difficulty. It is a huge mountain range that crosses the central and northern parts of the Bethia continent.

Kashin said.

“We’ll have to camp from here.”

We started climbing the northern mountains while camping. Although the mountain slopes were rough and the roads were not properly paved, it was not physically difficult.

Three days have passed. Although we were occasionally attacked by mountain animals, there were no major incidents.

“If I walk for about two more days, I think I can set off on the road to the Northern Great Basin. “It’s the only way up from the central part of the continent.”

Another day has passed. That night was an unusually bright starry night. Made a bonfire. Kashin sat down.

After a while, Kashin asked with a serious expression.

“Larsen. “Is there some kind of dispute between the Mayton family and the Sayid family?”

“dispute?”

Larsen flinched for a moment.

‘no way.’

As the novel progresses, it seems that Seidgar is learning about ‘the matter’ little by little. Although it felt like the speed was a little faster.

“huh. “These days, whenever my father talks about the Mayton family, he expresses a gentle way of life.”

“You don’t know why?”

“I’m not sure. “I’ll tell you when I’m sure.”

Larsen felt Kashin’s gaze.

‘Kashin knows I flinched.’

Then you can’t lie. The moment you lie, trust is broken.

Larsen sighed.

“Whew. “It’s hard to say anything because I’m not sure yet.”

If you have to tell the truth anyway, and if the truth will come out someday, it might be better to tell it now. It is better to be beaten first, and it is better to surrender than to be arrested.

‘I have to at least get Kashin on my side.’

As a writer, I decided to solve this situation.
