Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 161
The Magician’s Youngest Son Episode 161
Evian, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.
Slur.
I got up and sat down on the bed. I closed my eyes and concentrated my mind. The voice kept coming. Evian was also wary of Kashin and was constantly eavesdropping on Kashin’s voice. The voice I heard now was Larsen’s.
-A wizard who was chivalrous enough to roll up his sleeves for the children and for their dead mother even killed all the innocent soldiers? It’s strange.
Evian’s heart was pounding. I remembered the past. Evian had told the pursuers of the swordsman Seid that he was innocent.
‘No one believed me back then.’
And as time passed, Evian had already become a witch who committed a terrible massacre in Levadon.
In the end, she entrusted herself to the magic master Maton and did not specifically deny the massacre in Levadon. No matter how you say it, she was a slayer. Predicted by Sayed, a swordsman.
Since the false name would not be cleared anyway, no effort was made to clear the false name. Because I decided it was a meaningless struggle.
‘I…’
I was caught in a slightly strange feeling.
‘Are you happy?’
For recognizing his false name? For understanding me? For taking my side and talking to me?
‘I don’t know.’
It was difficult to accurately understand one’s feelings. Soon she was able to realize her feelings more accurately.
‘Is it because the person who was on my side was Prince Larsen?’
okay. At least this was the closest thing to his own feelings. Anyway, this feeling. not bad.
I decided to continue listening to the conversation. Listening to the conversation, it seems that Kashin did not request support from his family or posted any report about Evian himself. It seemed safe for the time being.
Meanwhile, Larsen focused on the name ‘Zestia’.
‘Zestia.’
The name is Zestia. It was a name that was not unfamiliar. This is because ‘Zestia’ was the name of a woman who becomes friends with Kasin at the end of the novel.
The woman identified her hometown as ‘Daejeokrim (大赤林)’ and talked a lot about wanting to protect justice, but what was unique was that she wore a black judge’s uniform and used the judge’s ‘judge’s baton’ as her main weapon. It was.
‘Couldn’t that Zestia be this Zestia?’
It must be someone with the same name, right? No, is it a person with the same name?
‘He was a supporting character who saved Kashin from danger twice.’
There are times like that when writing. When the main character is faced with a crisis, but no matter how hard the author thinks, there is no way out. When there is no way to overcome the crisis. At that time, outside help must be brought in.
Under the guise of what is commonly referred to as ‘coincidence’. As always, there are many coincidences around the main character, and it is a privilege and luck that can be enjoyed by being the main character. The original novel world is like that.
‘Zestia was like that too….’
From Daejeokrim.
He wears a judge’s uniform and wields a judge’s baton, and is a helper who can help Cassin Seid, the main character in the second half of the Munchkin novel.
‘No matter how much I think about it, I think that Zestia is this Zestia.’
It wasn’t intentional, but wouldn’t that mean that in the second half of the novel, even the gods come down and play a big role?
[Zestia, the god of judgment, presents the ‘Righteous Judgment Rod’.] An
artifact called the ‘Just Judgment Rod’ was sent to subspace. Larsen hurriedly opened the subspace. And then I remembered the contents of the setting book.
[Name: Zestia]
[Special feature: Carrying a judgment hammer with an engraved symbol of justice on the handle.]
As is typical in poor novels, Zestia was not described in great detail. The most notable features are the judge’s uniform and the judge’s baton. That was all I had set.
Larsen saw it in his eyes. The writing was engraved in intaglio. It was a judgment stick with the words
“Justice”
engraved in it.
‘Isn’t this just a coincidence?’
I couldn’t interpret what this judgment pole was with my Cheonan eyes. This was because the status of this ruling baton was higher than Larsen’s ability to interpret.
Kashin’s voice was heard.
“Larsen?”
“Oh, sorry. “I fell into the trap of thinking that Evian’s crimes were false accusations.”
“Larsen. I’m sorry, but Evian is a criminal being pursued by the Seid family with an official bounty on him. “I can’t answer the question of what justice is, but it doesn’t change the fact that Evian is a slayer.”
This is how the Seid family defined it. For Kashin, Sayidga was justice itself. It was like that until the middle of the original work.
Larsen said.
“I think you probably learned last time that Seid Street is not just and upright. “In the Northern Great Basin.”
“…But I still think it’s just.”
“I think so too.”
The Sayid family is a relatively ideal family and has an appearance that is close to the ideal. Since the author himself set it, Larsen had no disagreement with it.
“Head of the Seid family. “Carcia Seid and her successor, Kasin Seid, are like that.”
Here are the direct settings.
“And the matriarch and your immediate or very close associates will do the same.”
“….”
“From here on out, I’ll just refer to you as the matriarch.”
“What do you want to say?”
“Did the head of the family investigate that case yourself?”
“Probably not.”
The head of the house is already busy. It cannot be put into every single practical matter. And the head of the house cannot move carelessly. In modern times, a single head of a family is equivalent to a strategic nuclear bomb. Numerous political reasons follow his every move, and numerous risks and variables arise.
The heads of the family are well aware of this, and they rarely show themselves to the world except for ‘official events.’
“If the head of the family had personally managed the case, the outcome might have been different. Maybe Evian would have received a commendation.”
“The people who investigated that case are also people trusted by you and appointed by you.”
“So the Northern Great Basin was left as is? Under tacit agreement?”
In fact, Kashin also had nothing to say. I thought my original family was justice itself, but I am learning that it was not so.
There was only one head of the family, and that one person could not rule every corner of the world.
Larsen sighed lightly. I felt like they were making the main character, who was still innocent and pure, socially dirty.
“By Seidgar’s standards, it is much more profitable to turn an unprotected area into a protected area than to relieve one person’s injustice. That would be a business that would be much more praised and profitable. I’m not just blaming the Sayid family. So do we. “It’s probably the same for martial arts masters.”
Most small tasks are handled by the working team. If it’s not a ‘big deal’ that requires direct involvement, the head of the house just signs and passes it on. The matriarch’s time was limited and precious because she had to worry about all the little things.
“Listen and don’t misunderstand. It’s not because Evian is mine. I’m talking about what I assume. It’s okay if you don’t accept it. “You can refute it.”
“I’ll listen to it first.”
“Do you think it was a sin for Evian to kill the Lord of Levadon?”
“no. “He deserved to die.”
“Then, first of all, Evian is not guilty.”
Kashin seemed to understand up to that point.
“Afterwards, someone other than Evian massacred the innocent soldiers and residents of the Lebadon region.”
“….”
“And made it Evian’s doing. “You know it’s not that easy.”
Each wizard has different skills and leaves different traces depending on how they operate.
“I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the black rose Albleca was here at that time. A famous wizard. Enough to imitate Evian’s magic.”
“…and?”
“But it would have been difficult to decorate it perfectly. “It may have been too much to deceive the Seid family’s investigation team.”
“….”
“That would mean that someone in the Seid family tolerated the manipulation.”
“Nonsense!”
“We will find out whether it makes sense or not when we go to Levadon ourselves. “Is it really what Evian did?”
“Why would the Seid family tolerate manipulation?”
Larsen sighed lightly. Our protagonist is still so innocent and kind. Not yet. Larsen’s life has come a long way, but in terms of the novel as a whole, it is only the beginning. In the novel, the main character is a novice who has just started.
“It was annoying. Either Evian wasn’t that important to them. Otherwise… there is a reason to label Evian a criminal.”
“You’re calling Evian a criminal?”
“There must be someone who has ties to Albleca. Sayeid is within me.”
Larsen clapped his hands lightly.
“It’s just my hypothesis. “I think we need to check.”
“….”
Kashin clenched his fists. Larsen’s hypothesis seemed unacceptable.
“good. Larsen, you can check in Levadon. If you are wrong, apologize formally to me. “The words you are saying now are insulting to our Seid family.”
“…good. If my hypothesis is wrong, I sincerely apologize to you. But what if what I say is right?”
“We must establish justice. If there is someone who has been wronged, that unfairness must be resolved. If that injustice was caused by my family, I will apologize to Evian. And we will accept everything Evian asks and apologize sincerely.”
Larsen grinned.
‘That’s the main character.’
What an ideal personality. Larsen nodded.
“I, too, will put Maton’s honor on the line and confirm Levadon with all my heart. “There will not be a single lie regarding the Levadon incident.”
“believe. Larsen.”
I think that simpleton would think that’s true even if I lied. Larsen didn’t say that. It was a strange feeling to see the main character burning with the values of ‘faith’ and ‘trust’. You leave the decision to the parties involved in the case. I will completely trust that judgment. He was a really interesting guy.
‘I’m going to Levidon.’
* * *
Arrived at Levadon. The walls of Lebadon were frozen solid. There were two main things to do.
Finding traces of the Dipon clan and clearing Evian’s name.
Larsen asked while looking at the frozen castle walls.
“Evian. “Did you do that wall?”
“That’s right.”
“why?”
“The lord of Levadon tried to escape by climbing the walls.”
“So you froze the entire castle wall?”
“yes. “It was to freeze the magic spells on the entire castle wall.”
“You are amazing too.”
First, I entered the castle. There was almost no pretense of popularity. It was like an abandoned land. Bruises from stray dogs here and there! bruise! Barking was heard, but no one was found.
It was evening.
As evening fell, the signs of some stores came on. It was surprising that magic power was still being supplied.
“Is there a light?”
I went into a few stores, but they were empty. There were a lot of spider webs hanging down and the tables and chairs. And there was a lot of dust on the counter. There was no trace of anyone.
Went out again. The streets were completely frozen.
“Does the fact that it’s so frozen mean that Evian’s magic lasts for an incredibly long time?”
“I am a Northan ice wizard.”
“okay. Northan ice magic has strong destructive power and consumes a lot of mana, but it does not last long.”
Larsen continued walking. During that time, Hampton fell three times. Heira clicked her tongue and handed the spiked shoes to Hampton. Only after wearing them was Hampton able to avoid falling.
Larsen found a store.
There was a sign that said
[Winter Wind] . It was a sign that shined brighter than other places. Larsen said.
“excuse me. “I have a reputation.”
Kashin felt it too.
“I know.”
Levadon is no different from a dead land. It’s a place where it’s hard to find people, but there’s a place doing business with a sign on?
“It smells like food.”
It smelled like food. It seemed like there was someone there.
“Let’s go.”
Rosaline frowned.
“It’s suspicious. “Why are you selling food here?”
Rosalind made a good point. Suspicious. I thought I had to go because it was suspicious. The Dipon family, who hid the sacred item and was waiting for the owner, might have left a clue.
