Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 21
The Youngest Son of the Magic Family Episode 21
“…Do you mean Jayple?”
“why?”
Larsen knows why Heira looks at him like that.
‘I remember in vain.’
Among the many crazy things he has done so far, there is one thing that this crazy person Jinseong is particularly proud of.
[You are just a guard dog.]
[I am the owner of the house. Do you understand?]
[If you understand, close your eyes! You son of a bitch.]
This is what Larsen Mayton, who was 6 years old, said to Jayple in the past. The ‘guardians’ are all made up of archmages of the 7th circle or higher. The moment they leave Mayton Street, they are people who will be heard calling out for absolute power wherever they go. That great person heard such humiliating words from Larsen.
It was a point of pride for 6-year-old Larsen to be able to swear at such a person.
‘ha…!’
What did this idiot believe and act like that? after. Larsen had a headache.
“no. “I will upload the documents.”
However, Larsen chose ‘Japle’ as his method of protection. It was writer Cha Seong-min’s choice after all.
“What should I write about the reason?”
“Write that you are going out to have fun. “They say there’s delicious chocolate there.”
Heira felt a tightness in her stomach.
‘There is no way this reason could be passed…’
But the document was passed.
* * *
Jayple, who was chosen to protect the law, visited the ‘Maple Annex’.
Age is mid 40s. He had a good physique, unusual for an average wizard. He was a wizard with long sideburns and beard on his face, strong eyes, and a square jaw.
Japle greeted in a voice without much emotion.
“You’ve changed a lot in the time I haven’t seen you.”
“uh. a little.”
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“Are you curious why I chose you as my protector?”
“That’s right. “I’m just a guard dog.”
A drop of cold sweat ran down Larsen’s back. Jayple’s prayer was definitely unique. The 7th circle seems to be the 7th circle.
‘I remember it exactly.’
If you can’t remember, that doesn’t make sense. If you’re a 7th circle wizard, your memory must be extremely good.
“Because it is a guard dog, it must protect its owner as well.”
“….”
At those words, a subtle anger appeared in Jple’s eyes. But I didn’t show it too much.
Larsen’s heart pounded.
‘Let’s stay calm.’
Honestly, it’s scary. With a single wave of his hand, the 7th Circle Grand Wizard causes buildings to collapse and small typhoons to blow. A wizard with that much power is in front of you.
Larsen said with a chuckle.
“And among all the guard dogs, Jayple is the most trustworthy dog.”
The past is the past anyway. Nothing will get better if you apologize now. Even if I apologize now, I won’t accept it.
‘I can’t solve it with an apology anyway.’
If so, we need to approach it in a different way than an apology.
“At least I won’t get stabbed in the back.”
“Do you believe me?”
“I can’t trust human Jayple.”
A human J.P.L. can hit you hard on the back of the head. You could fake it as an accident and break your spine. Or, you can influence the mind with mental magic. Even if you don’t kill it directly, there are various methods.
“But I trust J.P.L. in defense.”
“….”
“Japle is greedy.”
And he is a person with outstanding greed and ambition for success. He is also a person who joins hands even if they are enemies as long as their interests are aligned. In that respect, you can trust him more than anyone else.
‘A character who opens his heart to people who can present a vision and show the future rather than personal feelings.’
He is a person who is more faithful to his ambitions than to his personal feelings. A person who is initially loyal to the 4th princess Seron, but later becomes loyal to the 2nd princess Evelia, who offers a better future.
“Is there a connection between my being greedy and the way you chose to protect the temple?”
“I thought I could help you someday.”
“How do you mean?”
You’re just a helpless bastard.
“Right now I’m loyal to my fourth brother, but don’t you want to be loyal to my second sister?”
Japle almost flinched for a moment.
‘what?’
I don’t know how that son of a bitch understands his true intentions. But I didn’t show it.
“I am a defender. I am not loyal to anyone.”
“He’s answering too enthusiastically for me to believe that’s the case.”
Larsen chuckled again. done. What Larsen aimed for was to show off his ‘insight’ based on information. The purpose was achieved.
“Anyway, whatever, what do you think? “Do you need a reason to protect your master?”
Dig into the essence.
“The reason for the existence of the law is to protect the master.”
“Of course I do.”
“I give this order as a member of the Mayton family. “Protect me.”
“…I will obey your orders.”
Japle looked at 7th Confucius, a 9-year-old son of a bitch.
‘This is the bastard I used to know?’
That head?
‘What on earth happened?’
I’ve already heard rumors that there’s been a change in Gamangnani these days. According to rumors, he beat up his older brother, Prince 6. And that too with pure magic. If you want to defeat the 6th Duke, who is learning ‘water attribute’ magic, which is quite advantageous for defense, with magic fighting skills, your achievement must be quite high.
‘We are creating a perfect circle.’
I never heard that there was a separate magic teacher. However, the first circle is already being created. It’s a shame that his main talent is magic fighting, but it’s definitely the realm of genius.
‘Mana is evenly distributed throughout the body.’
It is a well-trained body. In Japle’s opinion, Larsen was not an ordinary 1st circle member. The ‘ring’ itself is one. The amount of mana felt clearly exceeds 2 circles.
‘How is this possible?’
If it were normal, my heart would explode. How can you keep that much mana in peace with only 1 circle? I was curious about that. No matter how blessed the heart of the ‘Mayton family’ was, there was no such case. Even the second princess, Evelia, would not be able to maintain that much mana in circle 1.
‘It’s only circle 1, but there’s too much mana.’
I got curious.
‘I need to observe. There might be something.’
* * *
Lydia was excited. Because I went back to my hometown, ‘Hilan region’. I rode the mobile gate several times and traveled for a long time.
“I’m going to see my dad!”
Lulu.
I hummed. He seemed quite excited.
‘Hilan Region’ is a place made up of a couple of very small villages. It was set as a place where the ‘Fire Clan’ lives. The ‘Fire Clan’ is set to be a clan that was powerful enough to dominate the continent in ancient times, but fell into decline when the fire god ‘Phenix’ they worshiped began to consume its divine power. Now they just call themselves the ‘Fire Clan’ and there is nothing left related to fire except the ‘Holy Grail of Fire’.
‘This is the village.’
I felt like I was seeing a remote countryside in Korea. There were huts that looked roughly built, and large dogs were tied up in front of the huts.
Lydia screamed loudly from the entrance of the village.
“dad!”
It was so far away then. Hampton came rushing out of a house. Hampton, who had been dispatched to treat the ‘plague’ here, hastily bowed.
“sorry. “I didn’t know Confucius was coming so I couldn’t go out to greet him.”
“are you okay.”
That’s not what’s important now. It is the ‘Holy Grail of Fire’.
“Hampton. Where is my dad?”
“You are at home.”
Lydia rushed over. Larsen walked behind him. Protector Jayple had to feel strange looking at the back.
‘You said it was okay?’
Is that a bitch?
‘Something… is strange.’
There’s something strange about that maniac.
[You’re loyal to your fourth brother, but don’t you want to be loyal to your second sister?]
[I thought I could help you someday.]
I didn’t think I was going to just ignore those words. Where did you get this information? I’ve never revealed my true feelings.
‘Was it just a guess?’
Even so, it would be surprising. Because I threw out these words so casually, it made Jple flinch. Because it made me listen to the idiot at least once more. That too is an ability.
Some more time passed.
The maniac that Jayple was observing met a man and the man bowed and expressed his deep gratitude. A girl named Lydia, who was presumed to be his daughter, also bowed down.
That Lydia is also unusual. It is difficult to believe that the mana and flickering fire within the body belong to a 9-year-old girl. When did you make a friend like that?
“thank you. Larsen! Larsen is nice!”
Lydia grabbed Larsen’s wrist and led him. A middle-aged man comes forward. He was Lydia’s father.
“dad. Larsen is nice. “I brought you here to give you a gift.”
Then the man called my father said, ‘Okay. ‘Favors must be repaid.’ He answered. Japle tilted his head.
‘That bastard is nice? And what do you mean by grace? ‘What grace?’
Today is the first time that Larsen Mayton is carrying out independent activities externally. But I owe this man a favor. To the man who can only reach this place by traveling through 12 mobile gateways. Hampton was also dispatched.
‘Now that I think about it, the views of the people in this village were very favorable.’
What did that son of a bitch do? What did you do? That in itself is not important. The important thing is,
‘None of the guards figured it out.’
The thing is, no one knew. Larsen had done something without anyone knowing. Thinking about that gave me the slightest goosebumps. That damn bitch.
‘Since when?’
Something was done while fooling everyone in the family. That alone already means a lot. Because it can be inferred that information was intentionally hidden.
Lydia walked with a bright smile.
“Follow me. “I’ll give you a gift!”
Protector Jayple followed behind with everything in confusion. I went into the forest. Entrance to the Dragon Mountains. I stood in front of a shabby stone tomb that no one seemed to notice.
Lydia stood in front of him and spoke an unknown language.
Lydia’s voice changed.
“La- Shedow- Lali- Lata-”
At that moment, the stone tomb began to shake. A faint flame rose from the stone tomb. The stone tomb collapsed on itself. And something slowly began to rise from between the collapsed stone tombs.
There, Japle saw something surprising.
‘What on earth is that?’
I confirmed on paper that I was going here to have fun and eat chocolate, but even that was a trick. No one in the main building suspected Larsen’s actions. Rather than chocolate, I felt a strange flow of mana. It’s full of strange and surprising things.
At that time, Larsen was even more surprised than Japle.
‘Eh?’
The setting of the other side of the world popped out.
