Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 62
The youngest son of the magic family, episode 62,
has proven all his abilities as a variable. Evelia, who is now surprised, is proof of that. In that case, it was time to fulfill Evelia’s original expectations.
‘Because it’s right for the writer to take a broader view than the characters.’
Larsen took the first step. After walking for a while, a cliff appeared.
I started climbing up the cliff. It wasn’t difficult. If there was even a small crevice in the rock, he would put his finger there and move it around.
Larsen’s movements were not much different from those on flat ground.
In contrast, Evelia flew slowly.
“It’s not noble.”
It’s not like a wizard. If you’re a wizard, there’s no need to move like that. But I didn’t hate Larsen.
‘You work hard.’
That seemed good. Meanwhile, Larsen’s Cheonan was clearly visible.
[Goblin Tribe’s Cave]
Inside. There must be something controlling the goblins. I entered the cave. It smelled damp and musty. It was almost like a stench.
‘It’s nothing compared to the Red Tiger.’
Perhaps there will be a ‘Goblin Shaman’ or a ‘Goblin Warrior’.
Jerk. Jerk.
I took a step.
There were squishy things that looked like their feces scattered all over the floor. Larsen paid no heed and went deeper.
‘You must have felt that I had appeared.’
Considering that he has not yet appeared, he is probably a ‘goblin shaman’ and not a ‘goblin warrior’. Things have become much easier.
‘The goblin shaman… wouldn’t dare move because of Evelia’s presence.’
The goblin shaman would be trembling in front of Evelia’s strength and mana. It’s easy to deal with someone who is that scared. I glanced behind me.
‘Though Hampton seems more frightened.’
Hampton was following, terrified. At the same time, it seemed as if it was preparing for any possible ‘poison’ as it kept flaring its nostrils. Because the secretions leaking from the bodies of ‘poison goblins’ are ‘poison.’ It seemed like he was worried that there might be a threat to Larsen.
That far ahead.
I saw something.
It’s similar to the ‘poison goblin’ we saw earlier. However, he was holding a wooden staff encrusted with jewels. The goblin shaman was right. The goblin shaman was trembling with his back against the wall.
Something touched Larsen’s foot.
‘bone?’
I saw a skull.
‘It’s a human bone.’
Looking around, there were quite a few. It seems like one of their staple foods was humans.
It was originally like this.
This is a world of survival of the fittest. Ordinary people were eaten because they were weaker than those guys, and Larsen himself was stronger than those guys, so he hunted them.
‘Process… quickly.’
The goblin shaman was easily dealt with. Then, there was a ‘Goblin Shaman’ in another cave. Likewise, it was handled easily.
Larsen’s fist was hard, and the goblin shaman’s heads were not strong enough to withstand Larsen’s fist.
Successfully hunted down two ‘Goblin Shamans’ using magic fighting skills.
* * *
I left the second ‘Goblin Cave’ and climbed down the cliff again.
“I don’t know how you would see it, but this is the magic fight I learned.”
“I enjoyed it.”
Larsen glanced at Evelia.
‘Wizards do not consider magic fighting a proper discipline.’
That is the orthodoxy. But Evelia said.
“You put a lot of effort into it.”
“…thank you.”
“It’s not cute because it doesn’t look like a child at all.”
“Are you expecting cuteness from me?”
There is a young Cha Seong-min inside me.
“It’s better to be cute than not cute, right?”
“….”
“The reason you approached the goblin shaman so confidently… was it because you trusted me?”
Larsen thought for a moment.
‘I think you want that answer?’
For example, ‘Yes. It seems like he wants the answer to be ‘I did it because I trusted my sister.’ Larsen said firmly.
“It’s because I thought you might be frightened by your mana. “A frightened wild animal is not a wild animal.”
“Just trust me and it will work out.”
Evelia clicked her tongue as if she was disappointed about something. Larsen for the past year. I felt like Evelia’s personality had changed a little. It’s old.
“I even trusted my sister. “Because that’s natural.”
“why? “If I take you out and have an accident, the Seid family will be in trouble?”
Larsen shook his head. Larsen figured out what answer Evelia wanted from the writer’s perspective.
“I believed that you would protect me.”
“I am the eldest daughter of the Mayton family.”
Evelia smiled lightly.
“Such a weak heart and weak will are not very good. But I don’t like your answer.”
Even though she said that, Evelia’s expression looked the happiest of all the expressions Larsen had ever seen.
Larsen didn’t feel too bad looking at that person smiling and laughing.
“Anyway, you proved your strength. Hunted a goblin shaman at the age of 11. “Actually, I couldn’t do it either.”
“Because magic skills grow quickly in the beginning.”
“Even taking that into account. “It’s very fast growth.”
“thank you.”
“It would be a great thing if there were no limits to magic fighting skills.”
There are clear limits to ‘horse fighting’. Evelia seemed to sincerely regret that.
“But I have this thought.”
I looked at Larsen blankly. Larsen felt that there was some affection in those eyes.
“Wouldn’t you be able to break through that limit somehow?”
“…I’ll try my best.”
“okay.”
Evelia nodded as if she liked what her sister said.
“Good answer. “Next time I come, I’ll bring you a gift.”
Evelia’s appearance disappeared. It seemed like warp was used. Larsen’s mana was raised so quickly that he didn’t even notice and it disappeared.
“Ah… sister.”
When I came, I came to Warp. I ended up having to walk a long way when I went there. Only then did Hampton, who had been following along as if dead, exhale loudly.
“after. under…!”
It seems that Evelia was quite afraid.
“Confucius. “But can I ask you one question?”
“It seems like you’ve become a lot more comfortable?”
“That…”
Before, I asked a question about whether it was pretentious or not. Now I ask a question.
Larsen didn’t think the change was bad. This is because I thought it was not good to be too difficult on myself even though he was my person.
“I’m kidding. say it.”
“I have a question.”
Larsen nodded once.
“Confucius already knew that we would come to Dolsan Mountain. Yes?”
“It was one of the candidate sites.”
“The reason you came here with Sister Evelia was for Confucius’ test, but was it also to save the people in the unprotected area?”
This is to protect people in ‘unprotected areas’ under the pretext of testing. Hampton thought so.
Larsen couldn’t answer because he didn’t understand what was being said for a moment.
“….”
“There is no money in catching them, but they are not big enough to cause big problems in the world. “But didn’t Confucius go out of his way to hunt these guys who pose a great threat to ordinary people?”
The world can be divided into two categories: ‘protected areas’ and ‘unprotected areas.’ ‘Protection Zones’ are areas where famous families from around the world, including the world’s three great families, protect humans from monsters.
human realm. And ‘unprotected area’ refers to a place where such protection is not available.
“In fact, the majority of humans live in unprotected areas.”
Larsen recalled the setting. I didn’t realize it because I was inside the ‘protected area’, but when I heard it, it came to mind.
“My parents also died in the unprotected area.”
When writing the novel ‘Master Swordsman Sayde’. I put these settings in.
[Protected area: Extreme Seoul]
[Unprotected area: Extreme countryside]
To put it simply, a protected area is a place where many people live together and have good infrastructure, but land prices are very high. We also collect a lot of taxes. It is difficult for poor people and ordinary people to live there. That’s why the expression in the setting book was ‘extreme’ Seoul.
[Protected area: About 30% of humanity lives densely. About 30% of the entire continent.]
[Unprotected area: 70% of humanity lives scattered here and there. About 70 percent of the entire continent.]
Hampton thought.
‘You know that the goblins here enjoy hunting humans.’
I judged that Larsen moved for the sake of the many people in this land who are not protected. So, I believed that I had hunted down all the goblins and their leader, the ‘Goblin Shaman’.
Larsen remained silent. It seemed like Hampton was making a big mistake, but he didn’t bother to correct him.
“I am proud to be Confucius’ shadow.”
Larsen cleared his throat and spoke.
“We won’t leave here and will stay for a few days.”
“On this rocky mountain?”
“Do you have any emergency food?”
“yes. That’s right, but…”
He seemed to be asking why he wasn’t going back quickly.
“I asked my sister for Lydia.”
“What is that…?”
“You will listen to my request. Are you taking Lydia with you? In other words, it would mean that Lydia is gone. Through that, Heira will realize that Lydia and her sister have returned to their home.”
“ah…! “When Heira comes, you want to join her and move on!”
“that’s right. “If you wait, it will come running on its own.”
It is safest to join Heira and move. First of all, all the goblins in ‘Bairn Stony Mountain’ have been eliminated, so it will be safe for the time being.
“What Confucius said is correct. As expected, Confucius, your perspective is different from mine.”
just. I think I feel it better because I’m a writer. Larsen didn’t say that.
‘But why did you disappear so quickly?’
Without even saying goodbye. Looking at him, it seemed like he had a pretty big crush on Larsen himself. It looked like he wanted to talk a little, but he just disappeared.
‘There must be some reason.’
While waiting for Heira, Larsen got lost in thought. a moment ago. I thought about the scenes of hunting down goblin shamans.
‘If I were your sister, would I have been satisfied with that scene?’
I probably wasn’t completely satisfied. You may feel attracted to the human Larsen, but you may not be very impressed by the wizard Larsen.
‘But you said it as if you were satisfied.’
You shouldn’t settle here. Even though Evelia looks warm, we must not forget that she is a purebred Maton. You can’t let down your guard.
‘This is the real test.’
The corners of Larsen’s mouth rose.
‘That’s interesting. ‘My sister.’
This is how the Mayton family should be. Evelia’s human affection was definitely not a lie.
I definitely have a crush on him. There is also affection. That’s why we’re conducting this test.
This world is not Korea, but the world of the novel ‘Master Swordsman Sayde’. A common sense of affection that is different from the common sense of Korea. Larsen understood it that way.
‘If I were your sister.’
If it were Evelia set up by writer Cha Seong-min, what kind of situation would it create here?
Evelia disappeared without a word. That was already a hint.
Larsen’s heart started pounding. The feeling of becoming a character and creating the novel and world yourself. I had that feeling.
“Hampton. “It moves.”
Danger is coming. As a writer, it is a risk that can be predicted, but it is a risk that can be easily overcome.
When the ‘danger’ was recognized, ‘Cheonan’ began to become extremely active.
