Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 140
Magic Master’s Youngest Son Episode 140
“I hope you don’t tell Lydia that I am alive here.”
I couldn’t understand. why? It is clear how happy Lydia will be.
“Because all of Persha’s arrangements will be destroyed.”
“….”
Larsen was unable to speak for a moment.
-master. If you’re Persian, you’re the big flame sister, right? Very strong and pretty.
I couldn’t answer the thunder dragon. Larsen was a little confused. It’s Persha’s arrangement. So, from where to how far was Persia’s arrangement? Larsen asked.
“Let me ask you just one question.”
“yes. “Just say the word, Confucius.”
“The first time Lydia came to visit Maton was because you were sick. “I desperately went to Mayton to get treatment for it.”
I didn’t think it was strange at first. When I was writing the novel, I never really thought much about it. But looking back, it’s strange.
“Did you by any chance tell Lydia? “Find Mayton.”
“That’s right. I said so. “If I go to Mayton, they can cure me.”
“Then how did Lydia get to Maton? Did you travel through a mobile gateway?”
“That’s right. “Persha took care of all the costs and procedures for us.”
“….”
Then the picture becomes clear. Persia deliberately called Lydia to Maton.
‘In the original, Persian cuts off Lydia’s arm.’
Afterwards, Lydia’s resentment against Persia grows and she grows into a Red Slayer.
‘Did you go to great lengths to call Lydia a Maton and then cut off her arm?’
If so, Persian intentions may have been hidden here.
To make Lydia grow. So the Persians acted like that. At the same time, the world turned gray. A line that Larsen filled in last time was brought to light again.
[Despite being one-armed, Lydia was able to make a name for herself as a wizard slayer. The reason is that ‘one arm’ was one of the many conditions that allowed a fire magician to succeed.]
Larsen had filled in the phrase ‘one of many conditions’ to close the probability hole at the time. The subsequent set of settings was composed automatically. The letters began to fill in one by one, as if someone was typing on a keyboard. The world took on a life of its own, filling it with probability.
[Persha, who was receiving the grace of the fire god ‘Phenix’, realized this fact long ago. This is because the fire god Fenix appeared to Persha in a dream and taught him this.]
The situation at that time was visible.
Persha had a nightmare that day. I woke up screaming. In Hyran, there is Lydia, a member of the fire clan, and a girl named Lydia has the ‘Attrition Eye’. To awaken that sense of destruction, anger must be stimulated.
This is how Persia initially accepted the dream.
– Damn, I think I had a dirty nightmare.
Because I had a dream that my whole body was on fire. However, as time passed, the dream became more and more powerful, and eventually Persia dispatched Sando to the Hyran region to find out whether there really was a child named Lydia or whether she was of the Red Clan.
-Was this true?
Wise dream.
She did not believe in visionary dreams, but faced with concrete evidence, she had no choice but to believe. And Persha became curious. Does a girl named Lydia really have the ability called ‘Attrition Eye’ and genius magical talent? I wanted to grow it.
The setting book took on a life of its own and filled in the following information.
[In order to control the ultimate flame type mana, it was advantageous to have one arm that could draw magic techniques. If you use two arms to operate a magic spell, the flow of mana operation becomes tangled. This phenomenon is especially noticeable in the 8th circle and above.]
Larsen continued to learn new facts.
[This was something that Grand Mage Kirtel found out, and Kirtel also cut off his left arm when he was practicing Fire Mana.]
This time, I saw an illusion. In the fantasy, there were two blurry figures. The two people sat down and looked at each other and talked. Although their faces were not visible, Larsen could guess that the two people were Kirtel and Alberto.
“Alberto. Do you know what conditions a fire attribute wizard needs to achieve beyond the 8th circle?”
“I don’t know. I hate fire attribute mana the most. “It’s the attribute that doesn’t suit me the most.”
“The idea is to cut off one arm as quickly as possible.”
“What nonsense?”
“It’s a fire attribute. One heart circle is linked to the flow of one arm’s magic spell. For example, in order to perform 8-circle magic, eight rings and one arm must move together. But you have two arms, right? We’ve been drawing magic tricks with two arms. And I knew that was a much more efficient way to do it.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“But if you really want to become great, you have to practice with one arm. In the first place, you have to practice completing magic spells with one arm in order to pass the 8th circle. A fire mage who is used to two arms cannot attack. The mana flow is distorted. “You know that by our standards, Daesung is different from ordinary people’s Daesung, right?”
Alberto didn’t seem to completely believe Kirtel’s words.
“Isn’t that because you’re such a jerk? “It could be a rule that applies specifically to you.”
“But even so, if I broke through the wall of the 8th circle using this method, wouldn’t it be a possibility? lets think. Has there been a fire attribute wizard who has exceeded the 8th circle since history was recorded? Historically, there were quite a few other attribute wizards with 8 circles. “Only the fire attribute wasn’t like that.”
“….”
The conversation ended there. I wish I could have seen your face. No face was seen, only voices were heard. It was a bit of a shocking conversation for Larsen.
It’s something that writer Cha Seong-min didn’t set up, but I never thought the world would set it up this way. It was also a moment when I felt embarrassed as a writer.
“…sir?”
A voice was heard. While Larsen was lost in thought, the setting book with the complete text disappeared and the world returned to its original state.
‘It looks like I filled out the setting book correctly last time.’
If something other than that content had been written, there would have been a major conflict with the content of the setting book that was just released. A major conflict in settings means a collapse of probability, which is directly linked to Larsen’s death.
“…Mr.?”
“ah.”
Larsen looked at Lydia’s father.
“I understand what you mean.”
If that is denial, can it be called denial? In order to help her daughter, Lydia, grow up, please do not reveal her survival.
“At least for you, Lydia’s magical growth is more important than her suffering. “I understand.”
“…It is our clan’s mission.”
“I know very well that Lydia must be heartbroken because of that mission.”
In fact, Larsen feels a bit betrayed by Lydia’s father. I personally saw Lydia sad.
It was as if something in his brain had broken. I was smiling, but I wasn’t smiling. Although she pretended like nothing was wrong, the mana around Lydia was always gloomy.
He even developed a monstrous ability called ‘Attrition Eye’. His ability was so intense and terrifying that even his friend and contractor, Larsen, took a step back.
“And I know very well that that anger is turning Lydia into a monster.”
“….”
Should I reveal everything to Lydia? I don’t know yet whether I will reveal it or not. Actually, Larsen doesn’t know what’s right either. I couldn’t figure it out.
“And I know that you love your clan’s mission more than Lydia’s existence.”
Larsen turned his back on Lydia’s father without saying hello.
‘For now… let’s think about it on Edel Island.’
* * *
Larsen broke into a cold sweat.
‘Shit.’
How many mental calculations and magic formulas are in Evian’s head? Currently, Larsen is on a small wooden boat. What was unusual was that it did not float on water. Instead of running on water, he was sliding on ice.
‘They are freezing the North Sea very briefly, creating an ice road.’
It seemed like a train track made of ice. And that too for just a moment. For a precisely calculated, short period of time. It turned into ice for a split second and pushed the ship at high speed. A very short inclination angle was applied and the seawater was rapidly frozen and then thawed. However, there was no damage to the ship.
‘We are creating an ice road where friction infinitely converges to 0.’
Although invisible to the eye, an incredibly complex magic formula must be passing through Evian’s mind.
“11 o’clock. I can sense a sea monster 30 meters ahead. If you get close, it will bounce. Confucius, please throw it away.”
There is no need to hunt. I just asked him to bounce. Larsen faithfully fulfilled Evian’s demands.
puck!
Using magic fighting skills, he threw away a 6 meter long bonito monster.
“You are great.”
“…thank you.”
As Larsen watched Evian’s use of magic, he wondered whether Evian’s words were really a compliment.
It was almost the first time I had seen a wizard of Evian’s level use magic like this. This is not an attack-type or defense-type magic, but rather a level of magic that is used just for convenience.
I swallowed my saliva. I knew he was strong originally, but the more I experience him, the more he becomes a monster-like wizard.
‘I think it’s stronger than what I set out to be…’
Maybe it was even stronger than what I set out to be. Evian opened his mouth.
“If we move at this speed, in three hours. Arriving at Edel Island.”
“already?”
“yes. It arrived sooner than expected. “It overlapped with the migratory path of white whales and passed through the Strait of Death, so we were able to arrive sooner than expected.”
What this means is that white whales appeared unexpectedly, and to avoid them, they passed through the ‘Strait of Death’. In most seas, there is at least one ‘Strait of Death’, but the ‘Strait of Death’ located in the North Sea was famous for its significantly low passage success rate.
“The probability of passage through the Strait of Death here is about 20% on average.”
In other words, 80 percent of people would sink to the bottom of the sea and die.
“Luckily I passed.”
“…luckily?”
“yes. “I was lucky.”
Larsen had to break into a cold sweat again as he looked at the Ice Witch of the North Sea, who was speaking casually after adjusting her glasses. I didn’t even know when I crossed the Strait of Death.
I ended up trying to question Larsen for proceeding without properly asking his intentions. For now, I decided that moving was the priority.
-It smells delicious.
-master. let’s hurry!
The thunder dragon sitting on Larsen’s shoulder drooled. The saliva that ran down my chin became air and a small spark and disappeared.
‘An ice wizard who thought he was lucky as he casually crossed the Strait of Death, a thunder dragon who created sparks just by drooling…’ I
had a strong feeling that I had stepped into this world by mistake. That feeling became even more evident as we got closer to ‘Edel Island’.
‘crazy.’
It was like a scene from a disaster movie. The island itself was not that big. It was an island that could be circled around in about four days at the pace of an adult. But a lightning storm was blowing across the island.
‘How can it be like this?’
Even though it is a fantasy world, I think this is too much. Thunderstorms are hitting just this island.
Evian anchored the boat on the beach.
“Thunderbolts hit a lot, but I don’t think the probability of getting hit is very high.”
Lightning strikes a lot. However, it did not fall as thickly as rain.
Just because you entered Edel Island didn’t mean you were guaranteed to be struck by lightning. However, there was a person who was immediately struck by lightning. It was Evian. I had bad luck.
“ah. “It’s a tingling thunderstorm.”
Evian adjusted his glasses. He said it again casually.
“It looks like Confucius will die if he gets hit.”
On the other hand, the thunder dragon was flying around. He seemed very excited.
-Lightning! Come to me!
-I will eat it all!
Larsen looked around, trying to remain as calm as possible. Kwazik from about 30 meters away! Lightning struck. I felt like my bones were being extinguished. If I get hit, I really think I’ll die.
Evian had to protect it, but it was still dangerous.
But then I heard a strange voice.
“Ahh! 100 million! Ouch, it stings! crazy! Wow! stop! stop!”
Kwazijic!
Lightning struck.
A man trembled after being struck by lightning. Still, he didn’t die.
“100 million! “It stings!”
I got hit again. It was as if lightning was following him.
“uh? It’s a person! hey!”
The man ran towards me. In the meantime, I was struck by two more lightning strikes and fell to the floor. Although it screamed every time, it seemed to be in relatively good condition.
I had been struck by lightning so many times that my hair was spiky and scattered. His entire body was scorched, but he didn’t seem to be burned. It was incredibly large. It seemed to be human, but it was a whopping 3 meters tall.
Larsen’s Cheonan interpreted the opponent.
‘uh…?’
I saw a name.
‘Why is he here?’
