Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 201
The youngest son of the magic family, Episode 201,
passed through Sagokmun Gate. Lydia exclaimed.
“wow.”
As I crossed the gate, a great forest spread out.
Strangely, the scenery outside and inside the door was completely different. High cliffs were visible to the left and right. It seemed to be about 60 meters high.
Red pine trees were growing vigorously all over the cliffs. On the cliff far away. There was a colony of red pine trees high up as if reaching the sky.
Larsen asked.
“Isn’t it hard to breathe?”
“hmm. no? not really. “I think it’s okay.”
Larsen had some difficulty breathing. The concentration of mana was too thick.
-I’ll absorb it first!
-There is a lot to eat!
Larsen shook his head.
-no. Leave it alone.
-why?
-I think I need to get used to it a bit.
Although the concentration of mana is too thick, it is not so much that it cannot be endured. It’s just a little difficult to breathe. I thought I would get used to it after a while.
-Tch. So, after I get used to it, I eat it?
-okay.
Larsen moved according to the guiding power. A stream flowed through a huge canyon.
“Larsen. “The water is very cold?”
“I know.”
The chill was so cold that my feet froze.
It was not ordinary water. An ordinary person without mana will suffer frostbite as soon as they touch it. Water colder than ice is flowing.
According to modern scientific knowledge, if water is colder than ice, it is no longer water. Anyway, Lydia thought of water.
Chi-ik!
Cheek!
Every time Lydia’s feet touched, steam rose. Lydia seemed amused.
Lassen laughed in bewilderment as he saw Lydia laughing.
“You are also very comfortable.”
“why?”
“no. nothing.”
Even if a truly dangerous moment comes, the dragon race Faern will end her life as human Lydia. No matter how much the dragons had no regrets about life, Larsen was an area that was difficult to understand.
“I’m going to the right.”
“right?”
Lydia looked to her right.
“It’s a cliff?”
“The guiding power is pointing to the cliff.”
“huh?”
Lydia approached the cliff. It looked close when I saw it with my own eyes, but I had to walk for a while. It felt like I was in a fantasy circle.
“I thought it was in front!”
“….”
“Aren’t you taking the wrong route?”
“no.”
I had to walk for over 3 hours. Somehow I arrived in front of the cliff. A crack was visible that was not visible when viewed from a distance.
It was vague to call it the entrance to a cave, and too large to be simply a crack. It was about 1 meter wide. Larsen and Lydia turned their bodies sideways and entered the crack.
It was dark inside the crack.
Geek-!
Gigigigigi-!
The cries of an unidentified monster could also be heard. Larsen could feel the crying alone.
‘They are strong guys.’
When I looked through my eyes, I saw a group of bats with red eyes near the ceiling of the crack.
Vampire bat. It was twice as big as a typical vampire bat.
“Lydia. “We have to get through here within six hours.”
“why?”
“The bats will start moving after 6 hours.”
Vampire bats move around in the evening. It was also an object of fear for people in unprotected areas in the mountains. When the sun sets, hunting begins.
‘The number seems to be about hundreds or more.’
Hundreds more.
In other words, there were ‘creatures with blood’ around here that could be hunted by hundreds of vampire bats. There is little chance that it is human. Most of them will be monsters.
In other words, they are vampire bats that grew by sucking the blood of monsters.
‘You better be careful.’
Even if it is not his main activity time, he is dangerous. If you set your mind to it, you can burn it, but there is no need to waste time and stamina like that.
I walked carefully. Lydia turned on a faint light. I walked through the cave relying on the dim light.
The road inside the crack was winding and complicated. There were many different paths, but Larsen didn’t stop walking.
Actually, it wasn’t that I wasn’t afraid.
‘I believe in the guiding power.’
We have already come this far. We even reached Daejeokrim, an unknown land that humanity has not conquered.
Now, the only thing we can trust here is the ‘guiding power.’ Even if this is wrong. It must be accepted as fate.
Anyway, if you don’t have the guiding power, you will be lost forever in this place where the concentration of mana is so dense that even your sense of direction becomes blurred. If there is only one thing you can believe in, you have no choice but to believe it completely.
‘this way.’
The guiding power pointed to the wall. Lydia tilted her head.
“There’s no road?”
“If there isn’t one… I have to make one.”
* * *
Age Drayden.
36 years old this year.
He started exploring at the young age of 11 and has already become a 25-year veteran.
Edwick, almost his only friend, asked back.
“really? “Are you really going into the Great Forest?”
“ok.”
The barrier surrounding the Great Red Forest is weakening and the Great Red Forest is expanding.
“why?”
My friend couldn’t understand.
Edwick is one of the greatest explorers.
He has explored all kinds of dungeons, discovered pirate treasures, and even acquired relics of ancient wizards.
Although not well known, Edwick boasted wealth second only to the head of the Golden Family Safer.
If you have this much wealth, you can live well anywhere in the world. Although the Great Red Forest is expanding and the monsters are expanding, the protected area within a stone’s throw of the world’s top three famous houses is still safe.
“If it were me, I would just hide under the shadow of a famous family.”
“Then it’s no fun.”
“under.”
okay. Drayden. You were always that kind of guy.
Edwick decided to understand Drayden.
“If you’re going to search for it anyway, give me the inheritance.”
“okay.”
“…huh?”
Drayden chuckled.
“You are the only friend I have. “Just take it all for yourself.”
“You crazy guy!”
Drayden stood up. I waved my hand.
“You know there’s a secret safe in the basement of my house, right? “It’s all there.”
“hey!”
Edwick was not happy at all.
In fact, Edwick didn’t have any problems making a living, and although he wasn’t rich, he was living a sufficiently satisfying life.
Drayden waved his hand and walked away.
“If the world is going to end anyway, I don’t think it would be a bad idea to be buried in the center of destruction.”
The place Drayden headed to was ‘Sagokmun Gate’. Although it is not known to the world, it has entered and exited the entrance of Sagokmun Gate several times.
In fact, many explorers risk their lives to explore the Great Red Forest. At best, it was only the beginning, but Drayden was confident that he knew quite well about the Sagokmun Gate.
‘There are traces.’
I read it as a trace.
‘Two people. Age: mid to late teens. One is a man. One is a woman. One appears to be a martial artist… but is actually an explorer.’
I was sure. Has light movements.
At first glance, he looks like a martial artist. But he is an explorer. The explosive power of the martial artist was not visible.
‘And one of them is a wizard, but it looks like the woman is the wizard.’
What’s interesting is that there are no footprints or traces heading in this direction. You wouldn’t know if you warped right in front of Sagokmun Gate.
‘She’s a woman in her mid to late teens who can warp.’
It didn’t come to mind. My heart was pounding.
Warp to the Dajeok Forest, fly in, and enter the Daejeok Forest. It was unusual.
I chased after him.
‘There is no hesitation in my steps.’
There is no sign of wandering. It seemed like he was just taking powerful steps in the direction he believed in.
‘uh? That’s a crack where vampire bats live.’
I’ve explored inside there a few times. There is no separate exit there. This is a place where you have to come back again.
‘That’s a place where I almost died three times while going crazy exploring.’
Anyway, the traces pointed in that direction.
‘Is the leader a boy?’
It seemed like that. It seemed that if the boy moved first, the girl followed him.
‘Oh.’
As I thought about it, a new fact came to mind.
‘It took me a few days to get here.’
The first time I entered Sagokmun was when I was in my early 20s. It was my 10th year as an explorer and I was confident that I had learned all the know-how.
‘No.’
I recalled a memory. It didn’t take a few days.
While wandering at the entrance to the valley for the first time, he suffered frostbite on his feet and was crawling around until he was rescued by his teacher. It was such a dark story that I forgot about it for a while.
‘that’s right. ‘I did.’
One summer 16 years ago.
He suffered frostbite and had to undergo treatment for three months. Now, exploration has become more ingrained in me, I have accumulated all kinds of know-how, and I am equipped with the highest quality artifacts, but that wasn’t the case back then.
‘But the boy and the girl just crossed the valley and came here.’
I came to this place in just one trip after three expeditions.
‘What on earth is he doing?’
It was amazing. I met so many people while exploring. Among them were some geniuses.
Special humans who are blessed with talents that cannot be imitated. I also met Evelia Cassin Rosalin, a descendant of the 3rd great family, at least once.
‘They were geniuses in magic swordsmanship and martial arts.’
In that case, you may now
have ‘met the genius of exploration!’
It is said that heroes are born in difficult times.
These are difficult times. This is a chaotic situation where monsters are rampant and all kinds of natural dungeons are created. The role of ‘explorers’ may be greater than that of magic, swordsmanship, and martial arts.
Because explorers guide humanity to a safer place, find paths to dungeons, and research ways to attack monsters.
I was filled with dreams.
‘With geniuses like this… I think they can create a famous exploration family.’
I approached cautiously. Far away. I felt like I was popular. It was an explorer’s unique instinct. headed that way.
‘What are you trying to do?’
At that moment, he realized.
Larsen’s shoulder! Caught. It was dark so I couldn’t see his face, but it wasn’t much of a problem to grab his shoulder.
“Now wait!”
“….”
Larsen wasn’t particularly surprised.
I was also aware that someone else had entered this place, and when I saw him coming straight towards me, I assumed it was an explorer.
“What is it?”
“Are you really going to break the wall?”
“yes.”
“no. “That method is not right.”
Drayden spoke quickly.
“This wall is a load-bearing wall that holds this crack. “If this load-bearing wall collapses, the cave itself will collapse in an instant.”
“….”
“No matter how I survive. There is only enough space left for humans to move around. It will be a living corpse. then.”
Drayden pointed his finger at the ceiling.
“When those guys are active, won’t we all have our blood sucked out and turn into mummies?”
“You seem to be a pretty good explorer. The name?”
“Drayden.”
Drayden.
This was someone Larsen knew.
He is an outstanding explorer and is a person who will receive requests from Kashin several times in the future. Although it has a scary appearance, it is surprisingly gentle and has a personality that is not good for a cute creature.
“ah.”
“You know my name!”
Drayden felt fortunate. I couldn’t kill this genius kid here.
This genius had to be saved and somehow raised into a great explorer. He thought it was the best he could do in this world heading toward destruction.
“If you know who I am, quickly take me as your teacher. “I will make you the best explorer in one year.”
Drayden was confident.
What if that talent and your own teachings were combined? One year is enough. That guy had outstanding talent that could rival the world’s top three famous families.
“I’m sorry, but I already have a teacher.”
“teacher?”
Drayden frowned.
“Surely rice? Or Jones? Either him or Paul? No. “Who on earth are you?”
Who on earth first discovered such talented people and raised them to this level? Who is it. What kind of guy is this? Is this someone I don’t know?
“My master’s name is Magner.”
Larsen raised his fist. Drayden opened his mouth.
‘omg!’
Larsen slammed his fist into the wall.
bang!
A thunderous explosion erupted.
And soon, absurd things began to happen from Drayden’s perspective.
