Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 154

The Youngest Son of the Magic Family Chapter 154

Heira slowly opened her mouth.

“According to my oath, I will answer your last question. It is true that Lord Keisa’s arrangements lie dormant in the Lion Forest.”

“As expected. “Then why didn’t I find it?”

“Because the conditions for discovery are special.”

“Are you saying I’m not special?”

“no. “The matriarch is special.”

Heira looked at Decatra with eyes that contained no particular emotion.

Heira has seen many family heads, but Decatra was definitely special. Magical power and determination that surpasses that of previous family heads. And he is a person with unique coolness and charisma. It was definitely something special. However, it was a bit far from the ‘specialness’ that Kaysa Mayton spoke of.

“But it’s a little different from the specialness that Keisa wants.”

“What is the special thing that the first head of the family wants?”

“These are special eyes.”

“They have special eyes.”

Decatra laughed and laughed. Larsen has a special eye.

“Are you saying you have to be born with those eyes to see them?”

“I think so.”

“Larsen had a special eye.”

“I can’t guarantee whether I will be able to see it with those eyes.”

Decatra remained silent for a while. And then I asked again.

“Is that really the arrangement of the First Family Lord?”

I already said yes. But asking again meant that there was a different meaning. Decatra continued.

“I am asking whether the first head of the family made the arrangements on his own.”

Heira bowed her waist.

“sorry. “I can’t tell you any more.”

We remained silent to each other for a long time. Decatra asked another question.

“Hey. “I would like to ask you a personal question.”

“Please ask.”

“Larsen. “What do you think of him?”

“…I don’t think my opinion matters.”

“okay. You are right. But I’m curious. You have watched countless members of the Mayton family from the sidelines. “I want to know how you evaluate Larsen.”

“I think it is indeed the blood of the Mayton family.”

“Is that the end?”

“yes. That’s right.”

Decatra chuckled. Heira expressed that ‘he truly inherited the blood of the Mayton family.’

Decatra knows. How noble Heira considers the ‘blood of the Maytons’. It was no exaggeration to say that that was the highest praise Heira could give.

‘Heira’s standards are very high.’

But Larsen seems to have passed that threshold. Because Larsen’s skills are outstanding? That’s not it. Simply looking at ability, it’s either the 1st Confucius or Evelia. Or, the third princess, Persia, was even better.

‘As expected… there’s something about that guy.’

A charm that attracts people. It seemed like it was there. I decided to watch some more. And Heira said:

“Matriarch. Three questions have been completed. According to the oath, I am no longer the head of the family…”

“I know. “You do your job.”

“yes.”

“That Larsen guy. “You are blessed.”

Shadow clan Heira. She chose Larsen as her full master.

* * *

Lydia, who was practicing magic under Evelia, came to the Maple Annex. Lydia has grown quite a bit in one year.

In Korean terms, I was in the second year of middle school, but it felt different from Korea. This is a fantasy world. In some regions, 15 years of age is considered the age of majority.

‘You’ve grown a lot taller.’

Lydia’s height seemed to be around mid-160cm. Burning red hair and white skin. And the black robe he was wearing provided quite a contrast.

Lydia stood next to Larsen. I raised my tiptoes.

“I’ve grown up a lot, haven’t I?”

As I stood on tiptoe and raised my head slightly, our gaze met.

“You’ve grown a lot. “After one year.”

“huh. The old lady told me that I was growing up fast. “They kept giving me tasteless candy.”

“Tasteless candy?”

“huh. “Tastes like garbage soup.”

Larsen burst out laughing. I don’t know exactly what it was, but there was a high probability that it was a rare artifact equivalent to a spirit medicine. How can you describe it as tasteless candy?

‘Because usually herbal medicine doesn’t taste good.’

Spiritual medicine items do not end with just eating them. All elixirs come with a certain amount of side effects, no matter how big or small. An advanced wizard must help control the side effects.

‘Looking at Lydia’s attitude, it looks like she doesn’t even know that her sister helped her.’

It seemed like Evelia had secretly and quietly helped me that much. It seemed like he probably didn’t want to owe Lydia any debt.

Lydia laughed, hehe.

“Lydia has become much more dignified.”

“A proud person doesn’t call himself that.”

Lydia was a little embarrassed.

“really?”

“uh.”

“Then what do you say?”

“Let’s say it’s me.”

Embarrassment appeared on Lydia’s face.

Larsen cleared his throat. This is a common side effect of those who take the elite wizard course.

Elite wizards do not have much social interaction. In Lydia’s case, she was in a slightly more closed space, with almost no contact with the outside world. Evelia did that on purpose.

‘I didn’t want to reveal Lydia’s power to the world.’

Looking at the situation, it is undoubtedly true that Evelia cares about Lydia. However, it was difficult to say that Lydia was cherished for her very existence.

‘Because Lydia is mine.’

So there was a high probability that she was pretty. It was a bit cruel to Lydia, but that was the reality.

It’s not that Lydia is pretty, but Larsen’s Lydia is pretty. So I didn’t care about Lydia’s social interactions. All we have to do is grow well as a force.

‘Well… many elite wizards take this course.’

Many elite wizards voluntarily cut off interaction with society. There are many wizards who spend their time confining themselves to a corner of their room and practicing their magic. So these side effects occur.

“Lydia will become dignified.”

“what. “Do you really need to be proud?”

“Isn’t being polite a sign of maturity?”

“well. I’m not sure. Just live as you are.”

6 I thought of Confucius Carlton. Although his attitude became dignified, it was difficult to regard him as an adult. If I were an adult, I would have apologized first. Carlton never apologized until the end. It must have been some kind of pride.

“What happened?”

Lydia seemed to have realized something.

“Isn’t there a need to be polite?”

“huh.”

What is the importance of being dignified? I don’t know if it’s something that happens naturally, but I didn’t think there was a need to force it.

Lydia seemed to have lifted a heavy burden.

“Hehehe.”

Although his body has grown a lot, his expression and mood remain the same as when he was young. I didn’t really hate that bright smile. Larsen thought for a moment.

‘Your father is alive.’

Should I say that? My mind became complicated again. If Lydia found out that her father was alive, she might cry with joy like a child.

‘But… I don’t know if he’s as good a father as you think.’

There is no doubt that I love Lydia. However, I don’t know if I love Lydia for who she is.

For the purpose of the clan. Maybe I love it as a tool. If so, wouldn’t it be rather sad for Lydia?

“Larsen. “What are you thinking like that?”

“No, nothing.”

I decided to postpone revealing the truth to Lydia for a bit. Looking at Lydia’s innocent smile made my heart hurt for some reason.

‘I don’t think I’m a good enough father to make you so happy.’

I talked a lot with Lydia, whom I hadn’t seen in a while. A big part of those stories was ‘I’m scared of the devil.’

Thanks to Evelia’s special training, Lydia achieved the 4th circle and was about to reach the 5th circle. Like Kashin Seid’s colleague in the original work, he was growing quickly.

Larsen also brought up a story about ‘Lion’s Forest’. Lydia did not think deeply.

“okay. “I’ll go with you.”

“You also need to get permission from Evelia.”

Evelia also gave permission.

“A common mistake made by wizards who take the elite course is that they do not experience actual combat. “A wizard who has grown only in theory without any practical experience cannot fully use the power of the 7th Circle even if he or she becomes the 7th Circle.”

With those words, he allowed Lydia to accompany him. Heira followed there.

“I’ve packed all my luggage.”

“I can’t believe Heira is going with me. “I feel reassured.”

“I am Confucius’ shadow. It’s only natural that we should be together.”

“Something feels different?”

“I am always the same.”

“okay?”

“yes. “It’s the same.”

Larsen swallowed his saliva as he looked at Heira speaking firmly.

Although Heira did not cause any harm, I thought about her identity once again. If Heira is like that, then so be it. I had no intention of provoking the strongest assassin in the world.

okay. Good is good.

Meanwhile, Heira had to hide her surprise inside.

‘Are you noticing a subtle difference in me?’

Nothing has changed on the outside. However, the ‘three oaths’ have ended, and now the person Heira serves is Lassen, not Decatra.

The person the Shadow Clan serves has been completely narrowed down to one person. But he didn’t show it.

‘Am I backing off or is Confucius being sharp?’

I just asked a question to myself. Larsen is heyra. I went out the door of the Maple Annex with Lydia.

“Confucius!”

Hampton came running in a huff, carrying a backpack much larger than his body.

“Shadow Hampton! “Everything is ready!”

“Why do you have so much luggage?”

“I did some research about Lion’s Forest in advance. We prepared medicinal herbs and poisonous plants in advance to prepare for that. “It’s not heavy, but it’s bulky and the storage method is difficult, so the luggage inevitably became so heavy, Confucius.”

“You worked hard.”

“Oh no! “It’s the right thing to do!”

You worked hard.

Hampton almost burst into tears at that one word. Confucius returned after a year and became more dignified and handsome than before. Although he was a pod, he seemed more like a successor than before.

Evelia came to the Maple Annex. Next to him stood a girl with yellow hair and amber eyes. It was Shinnyong.

Sinchon was holding Evelia’s hand tightly with one hand and holding a lollipop with the other hand.

Lydia found it.

“uh? “Candy that tastes like trash!”

Lydia described it as tasting like garbage soup, but Shinryong seemed to like it quite a bit. It seemed like it was because they had a different sense of taste than humans.

“Larsen. Am I the babysitter?”

“sorry. And thank you.”

I took care of Lydia, but this time I decided to take care of Shinnyong.

“what. are you okay. Because I’m also very interested in dragons. “It’s also interesting to deal with brain energy.”

“i look forward to.”

“okay. “I won’t kill you.”

Larsen laughed to himself. sister. Please don’t say that with your angelic face. It’s scary. I held those words in inside.

‘Destination is Lion’s Forest.’

* * *

Lion’s Forest is a huge forest located in the middle of the ‘Sea Desert’. The mobile gateway to the Sea Desert was well activated, so I was able to get there without difficulty.

After passing through the mobile gate, we arrived at ‘Sea Desert’.

I saw a desert stretching out endlessly. The sun was blazing brightly. There were no monsters of any kind in the desert. Although it was a place where a monster called ‘Sand Worm’ lived, it was also a place that did not move during the day.

Larsen said while looking at the map.

“I think we can arrive within three days.”

I moved relying on a map and compass. It took longer than I thought. Around noon, the sunlight was so hot that I took a rest, and at dawn it was so cold that I couldn’t move. It took 5 days, not 3.

I saw the ‘Lion Forest’ located in the middle of the desert. I got closer.

“It’s strange that there is such a dense forest in the middle of the desert.”

We got closer to the desert. But then I saw something. It was a wooden sign.

“uh?”

I looked closer. I saw an old wooden sign. Lydia tilted her head.

“what’s the matter?”

“Lydia. “Can’t you see this?”

“what?”

Lydia threw her hands in the air. Lydia’s hand touched the wooden sign.

‘It just passes by.’

The hand clearly touched the wooden sign. But I couldn’t reach it. What Larsen saw was not visible to Lydia.

“Hampton. “Can’t you see it with your own eyes?”

“I’m sorry, Confucius. “I can’t see anything.”

I shouted with sincerity and passion.

“I’ll try my best to see it!”

Larsen looked at Heira. Heira’s expression was as expressionless as always.

“Hey, what about you?”

Heira’s expression somehow looked subtly different from usual.
