Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 22
The Magician’s Youngest Son Episode 22
The stones of the stone tomb scattered and something emerged from between them. It was a very old golden cup.
A golden glass full of traces of time. Faded golden color. The cup looked unsightly, but the ‘fire energy’ itself covering the cup was not unsightly.
The appearance of the ‘Holy Grail of Fire’ itself was not surprising. However, the interpreted information continued to be transmitted to Cheonan.
[The setting of the ‘backside world’ is revealed.]
[The ‘setting of the backside world’ secures ‘insufficient probability’.]
Content that Cha Seong-min did not set, but was newly set by the world for the sake of ‘probability’. It was revealed.
[The flame water of the ‘Chalice of Fire’ can only be consumed by those who have made a contract with the Fire Clan. If a person who has not made a contract with the Fire Clan drinks flame water, they will suffer from vomiting and abdominal pain and ultimately die.]
Larsen could not remember why this setting was added for some ‘probability’. However, the problem is that in order to drink this fire water, you must make a ‘fire contract’.
‘What do we do?’
[The fire water contained in the ‘Chalice of Fire’ has the property of oxidizing when it comes in contact with the outside air.] [
The effectiveness of the fire water weakens over time.]
Larsen had to worry.
‘I do not have time.’
Over time, the effectiveness of fire water weakens. It just becomes water.
‘Should I drink it?’
If you drink it, minor illnesses will disappear. It can purify even quite a few poisons and mental attacks. It can be said to be truly the optimal arrangement for a long, disease-free life.
‘But if I make an illegal contract…’
Will I really be able to control that super single-celled Lydia? If I lose control and go crazy, I have to bear all the repercussions. Am I the single cell that even Kashin had a hard time controlling?
‘damn.’
I couldn’t worry about it for that long.
‘What a coincidence. It’s hard to get again.’
Life is always a series of choices. I know that very well.
‘If it’s writer Cha Seong-min.’
What would writer Cha Seong-min do? If you were a character possessed in a novel, how would you move? I thought about it.
‘eat.’
There are benefits and losses when eating it. I calculated it. Eating seems to be more beneficial. In fact, the ‘Fire Contract’ is only as long as Lydia doesn’t drink too much. All you have to do is not create a situation that will cause an explosion.
“Unfair contract. “Let’s conclude.”
“really?”
“I don’t have time. hurry.”
“good!”
It was the same as last time. Flames bloomed from Lydia’s body. However, this satisfied one ‘condition’.
‘Cheonan’ interpreted it in a new way.
[The hidden arrangement of the ‘Holy Grail of Fire’ is revealed.]
[The ‘Holy Grail of Fire’ recognizes the sacred ‘Fire Contract.’]
The flames that rose from Lydia’s body were sucked towards the ‘Holy Grail of Fire’. Like a vacuum cleaner sucking up dust.
At that time, I was able to find Protector Jayple.
‘The shine of the old cup is being restored.’
I was very surprised when the ‘Holy Grail’ first popped up, but I was even more surprised to see that the Holy Grail was glowing as it absorbed Lydia’s power.
‘What on earth is that cup?’
Unlike Larsen, who interpreted it as Cheonan, it was difficult for J.P.L. to figure out exactly what it was. What Japle figured out was that Larsen requested a contract from Lydia, and as a result, a flame bloomed in Lydia’s body, and after that, the cup absorbed that energy.
Come out to enjoy some chocolate? Come out to play? What a lie.
‘All of this was thoroughly planned.’
That fiery mana. This is almost the first time I have seen such clean and pure fiery mana. Plus, it was powerful. As if the 3rd Princess Persha had radiated magic.
‘The Seven Confucius all knew it.’
Even a 7th circle wizard does not know everything in the world. Rather, there are many things I don’t know other than magic. This is because I was only focused on magic. It is not absurd that such rare ‘artifacts’ or ‘hidden treasures’ exist in the world.
‘The water containing the power of flame glides in the cup.’
When on earth did I study and figure out something like this? He said he goes to the ‘Starlight Library’, so that may be the information he got from there. A ‘library’ is a place where a lot of information is gathered.
He was sure.
‘Information about the 7th Confucius has been distorted.’
What a mess. 7 Information about Confucius was intentionally distorted by someone. Someone is deeply involved with Larsen. I don’t know why. It’s just that people know that a piece of shit would never do something like this. There is something going on in Mayton, a famous magic town, that Jayple doesn’t know about.
Meanwhile, Lydia was panting.
“The contract of fire is over. Heh heh!”
“okay.”
It has already been interpreted as Cheonan.
[The ‘Fire Contract’ has been completed.]
[Lydia swore that she had become a ‘Fire Contractor’.]
Lydia’s oath became a declaration and was engraved on the world. A promise engraved on the world. Or covenant. Larsen’s Cheonan interpreted this oath as follows. A new ‘set value’ has been engraved. In this world.
[A variable that affects the story has occurred.]
Grrrr!
I felt like fire was blooming from my heart.
Soon the energy disappeared.
‘It’s gone.’
There was no time to focus on the energy that had disappeared. As time passes, the effectiveness of ‘fire water’ weakens. We need to eat this up quickly. For disease-free longevity. To live healthy until I poop on the wall.
[‘Chalice of Fire’ has witnessed the sacred contract.]
[‘Chalice of Fire’ has been promoted to ‘Chalice of Pure Fire’.]
‘Flame Water’ has been promoted to ‘Pure Flame Water’. That wasn’t Larsen’s intention. It was just a coincidence that I made a contract of fire in front of the Holy Grail of Fire, and this happened.
‘Anyway, it’s good.’
He placed his hand on the chalice of fire.
Moment.
The flames rising from the chalice of fire died out.
Suddenly. Suddenly.
Larsen drank ‘Pure Flame Water’. It didn’t taste very good. It was just like water. The difference is that it stings a little every time water passes down my throat.
‘It feels like drinking slightly carbonated water.’
Water entering the stomach through the throat was interpreted as ‘Cheonan’.
‘Water containing fire.’
This came into my body.
[‘Pure Flame Water’ has been ingested.]
[The power to control and control the pure fire energy contained in ‘Pure Flame Water’ is needed.]
Larsen was able to know what it was.
[‘The easy-to-understand Manasimbeop’ begins to control the fire.]
The ‘fire’ that had been blooming from the stomach began to head towards the heart. The fire wriggled like a living creature and headed toward the heart.
[Beginner magic fighting technique. ‘A stronger will’ protects the heart.]
I felt my heart getting hotter. Larsen sat down on the spot. It seemed like it had to be that way. He spoke quickly.
“Defend the law. “Protect me.”
“….”
“Believe.”
I don’t know what the situation was, but J.P.L. stood next to me.
‘Mana deep attack?’
The damn 7th Confucius was learning Mana Deep Attack. Judging from the momentum he was emitting, it did not seem like he was learning an outstanding new technique. Since I haven’t even completed my 10th year of training yet, I wouldn’t have been able to properly learn the Manasim method. In that case, what the bastard is learning is the most basic method of manasim.
‘Nevertheless, suddenly in such an open space?’
Honestly, I was a little surprised.
‘You trust me this much?’
The relationship between himself and Larsen is not very good. While using ‘Mana Deep Attack’, even a small impact can cause major problems to the body. 7 Confucius would not know that. Nevertheless, Prince 7 said that he believed in himself.
Japle’s eyes became serious.
‘Because work is work.’
Protecting the law must do the work of protecting the law. Even if you don’t like it, if you decide to keep it, you have to keep it. Even if that idiot showed that much faith in you first, it is right to repay that trust.
‘With faith for faith.’
Larsen’s celestial eyes continued to interpret the body.
‘Pure flame water’ was never just water. It was water full of ‘fire’, and it left large and small scratches on Larsen’s heart.
[Beginner magic fighting technique. ‘Self-recovery’ applies.]
It was not a major injury. Just a small burn. And ‘self-healing’ healed the burn.
[‘Easy to understand Manasim method’ has succeeded in controlling the ‘Pure Flame Water’.] [
‘Pure Flame Water’ has been stably absorbed into the body.]
I felt a little relieved. Without realizing it, I lost my concentration.
[Due to the effect of ‘Pure Flame Water’….]
[The activation of ‘Cheonan’ ends due to insufficient mana.]
Larsen slowly opened his eyes. There was something left to be interpreted. I think we can interpret it by activating ‘Cheonan’ again later. Since mana is recovering at a rapid rate, an interpretation will likely be possible soon.
“Are you finished?”
“huh.”
The sun was already setting.
‘It seems like more time has passed than I thought.’
Larsen stood up.
“thank you. “For protecting me.”
“no. “I just did my job.”
Japle felt a little more strange.
‘Thank you.’
That idiot said thank you. Of course, I just did what I had to do. Something was a little subtle.
“Congratulations. “It seems like you have acquired some kind of power.”
“huh. “It’s nothing special.”
It is specialized for long and disease-free life.
‘Compared to the opportunities Kashin gets, this is child’s play.’
What Kashin drank was not ‘pure fire water’ but regular ‘fire water’, but fire water is still fire water. It is not a treasure of the century like Dragonheart.
“But Confucius.”
“why?”
“This is the beginning of the Dragon Mountains.”
“know.”
“I can feel the powerful mana halfway up the hill. We are approaching it without intentionally hiding it. They are approaching, making their presence known.”
Larsen didn’t feel it. If I could activate Cheonan, I would be able to feel it.
‘also. ‘You can’t be arrogant anymore with an archmage like that.’
At least a few hundred meters. No, it may be several kilometers away, but I can’t believe I’m feeling it.
“We’re continuing to approach this way.”
“Are you sure?”
“yes. “It seems that the powerful flow of mana that leaked from that golden cup earlier called them.”
Was it that powerful? Larsen tilted his head. It’s strange that a 7th circle wizard wouldn’t be considered powerful.
“Do you know who it is?”
“yes. If my intuition is correct, they look like swordsmen. “I can feel their unique energy.”
“okay?”
“The access speed is very fast. “I think we’ll see each other soon.”
“What about hostility?”
“It’s hard to judge. However, they seem to be swordsmen of a considerable level.”
Basically, in this world, the relationship between ‘swordsman’ and ‘wizard’ cannot be considered very good. However, it cannot be seen as a very bad thing. In the current situation, it can be summarized as a competitive relationship that is not comfortable. But why is he suddenly running towards me?
Larsen felt somewhat uncomfortable.
‘I can’t run away anyway.’
It may seem better not to encounter them, but leaving when you hear that the swordsmen are approaching is the worst choice for a member of the Mayton family. The worst of the worst. If that word were to reach the ears of my father, the head of the family, he would be purged before the 10-year ceremony.
‘It feels uncomfortable, though.’
However, there is no reason to run away. There is also a 7th circle wizard here.
‘If we’re going to wait anyway, let’s wait leisurely.’
Protector Jayple is watching. He sat on a rock to become a candidate for successor in the guise of a human being. At the same time, mana was restored through ‘easy-to-understand mana deep attack’.
“If you come towards me.”
I grinned deliberately.
“Wait.”
I hid my nervousness and pretended to be as relaxed as possible.
After a while.
About three or four swordsmen began to appear.
‘Holy shit.’
For some reason, the real protagonist of this novel appeared. ‘Cheonan’, which had been forcibly shut down, was forcibly activated again.
[A ‘variable’ has occurred that can have a significant impact on the probability and story.]
The name was clearly visible in Cheonan.
Kashin Seid. A 9-year-old successor to a master swordsman appeared. At an unexpected timing.
