Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 69

The youngest son of the famous magician, Episode 69

: The path of the seeker.

A long road of about 300 km.

The sun was high, but the weather was very cold.

The time was mid-January 223 in the Hypheon calendar. This is the time when the harshest north wind blows.

In addition to the bitter north wind, the cold air seeping from the ‘Sunflower Wilderness’ adjacent to the Seeker’s Path invaded Larsen and Lydia’s bodies.

Lydia trembled.

“Ugh. cold.”

Lydia launched a small flame into the air.

“warm. right?”

“Isn’t it consuming a lot of mana?”

Keeping ‘elemental magic’ floating in the air requires a lot of mana.

“are you okay. “It’s at a level where it recovers on its own while walking.”

“….”

I forgot for a moment. Even though Lydia looks mischievous, she is still one of the munchkin characters that appears in the novel. From a young age, he was already full of genius.

‘Surprisingly, I’m not cold.’

The bitter north wind and the chill of the sunflower wilderness. The temperature was already approaching -20 degrees Celsius, but Larsen didn’t feel that cold. It was thanks to Magner’s special training.

‘When I fell into the water fairy’s well, I thought I would freeze to death.’

Compared to the cold back then, it was a bit better. I even got into it naked at the time. He is now well-dressed, including the robe that Evelia gave him as a gift. There are even fireworks floating next to it. It wasn’t that cold at this level.

I walked like that for about two days.

‘Is it over there?’

A road of 300 km.

There are three shabby inns in the middle of the Seeker’s Road. There is one every 100km. The name of the inn was ‘Fat Cat’.

‘It’s a lot shabby than I thought.’

I stood in front of the inn. The inn was an old two-story wooden building.

Sigh-!

I opened the wooden door and went inside. There were spider webs on the ceiling, and small, nameless lizards were scattered here and there on the floor.

There was an old man wearing glasses sitting at the counter.

“Who are you?”

A collection of settings that only Larsen could see unfolded before Larsen’s eyes.

[Fat Cat is one of the bases operated by the third force, ‘Sound of the Night’.]

Externally, the world is ruled by the three major families and the Holy Empire. However, other secret forces clearly existed. Set by Cha Seong-min himself, ‘Sounds of the Night’ was also the largest group.

‘And [Sounds of the Night] are also related to my father.’

It is a secret force.

However, behind that secret force is Decatra, the head of the famous magic family. It’s ironic, but not only Decatra, but other forces also often had ties to these secret forces. No matter how powerful the three great families are, they cannot rule the world with their power alone.

‘And that man’s name is Blick.’

Larsen walked forward with strides.

“I am a pilgrim. “I’m going to take a day off.”

“30,000 grand per night. 35,000 grand including meals. Check-out is at 12 o’clock, but as you can see, there are no guests. “It’s okay if it’s a little later.”

Larsen nodded.

“Could you please show me to my room?”

Here, you need to hit the first button well. This is the starting point of the pilgrimage. Blick did not stand up.

“excuse me. Go up the stairs and turn right. No. 3. “Especially the largest room.”

Larsen received the key. I turned around and asked again.

“The weather is very hot, isn’t it?”

“He’s a young man who likes nonsense. “I’m having trouble sleeping at night because of the cold in the sunflower wilderness.”

Mid January.

It’s definitely not hot weather.

“What kind of food should I eat on a hot day like this?”

Blick adjusted his glasses. Lydia tilted her head, wondering what this meant. A flame of the [?] symbol rose above her head and then disappeared.

“well. “What does the boy want to eat?”

“On a day like this, a beer and two slices of pizza are perfect.”

Blick laughed, huh.

“I’ll prepare beer and pizza for breakfast tomorrow. “But the boy is too young to drink beer.”

“Then I will play with the cat.”

This is the base of the secret force ‘Sounds of the Night’. But the sounds of the night are just a stone’s throw away from Mayton Street. It’s quite contradictory. The same goes for greetings.

It’s too cold on a hot day.

Too hot on a cold day.

This is a place where contradictory greetings are the code.

If you’re a child, have beer.

If you’re an adult, candy.

This is also a password. This was also the reason why Decatra left the ‘Sounds of the Night’ base here alone.

Blick knew from the beginning that Larsen was the 7th Prince. In exchange for being able to act as a base, it is able to provide certain benefits to pilgrims among the children of the Mayton family. That was the reason why ‘Sounds of the Night’ was able to operate here.

And the last word.

[In that case, I will play with the cat.]

Cat means ‘fat cat’, which is the base here. Going on a pilgrimage with a cat. It means getting help from the cat.

“We have two cats at our inn. One is Hobbes. One is Belboo. Hobbes is a scrawny guy because he doesn’t eat, and Belleboo is a fat guy because he eats too much. “Which cat do you want to play with?”

Blick knew that Larsen was the 7th Prince, but he did not show it at all. There is no need to show it. In fact, Blick hoped this day would never come. The moment this day arrives, my contract with Decatra ends. It is becoming difficult to do business here anymore.

“It must cost a lot of money to play with Belboo.”

“yes.”

Blick chuckled.

‘Do you want money? ‘The son of the Mayton family?’

The Mayton family is more prestigious than any other family in the world. How could it be considered one of the world’s top three famous houses? The children of such places want money.

‘No matter how much you go on a pilgrimage, you usually get support from your family.’

You cannot receive support from the Mayton family. However, you can receive support from your ‘maternal family’. Because that is the power of the maternal family. Most pilgrimages are carried out with the support of the ‘maternal family’. My mother’s side also sees it as a good investment. When the children of the Mayton family grow up and take on real power, the status of the maternal family will also increase.

“But it might be easier and more fun to play with Hobbes.”

Play with Hobbes.

Swift and light. Provides several artifacts necessary for pilgrimage. In addition, permission to use the ‘Sounds of the Night’ bases is granted for two years. In fact, this is much more advantageous than money. Blick decided that way.

“I like fat guys.”

“I understand. “Do whatever you want.”

* * *

Senkan visited Decatra’s room with a letter.

“That’s right.”

Decatra laughed lightly. The youngest guy found ‘Sounds of the Night’. He said he asked for exact money there.

“How did Larsen know about this arrangement?”

It was an arrangement that no one knew about. From Evelia, who is by far the best among the brothers, to Carlton, the sixth. No one visited the ‘fat cat’.

“I think I obtained information from the Starlight Library.”

“You found it yourself among all those books?”

“Didn’t the Evian librarian help me? That’s what I think.”

“Evian probably won’t help at all. “Aren’t librarians completely neutral?”

Librarians are on fixed-term contracts. You can study the Mayton family’s numerous magic books and knowledge. So they try to avoid getting involved in any problems. Because you can stay in the library for a long time if there is no noise.

“Evian was especially friendly to the youngest Confucius.”

“He’s a fun guy.”

“What do you mean?”

“So is Evelia and Evian.”

And so do I.

“You have a strange knack for creating your own side.”

I really liked the first move of the youngest child, Decat.

“The other guys didn’t have to stop by that shabby inn or read frivolous books at the library.”

Decatra was a long time ago. This arrangement was prepared even before Larsen was born. This is because I predicted this current situation. Soso’s child who cannot get help from his maternal family. I had prepared in advance to help that child. Not to be noticed. All children were given equal opportunities.

“That clue was hidden in every library.”

“That’s right. “He told all his children and their teachers not to neglect the library.”

“But actually, it wasn’t necessary for other children.”

If you don’t have money, just ask for money, and if you need an artifact, just ask for an artifact. Everyone except Larsen. There was no need to use this arrangement.

“Matriarch. “You look happy.”

Senkan looked at Decatra. Of all the Decatra faces I have seen in the past 10 years, this was the most expressive.

“I’m amazed and proud that it was that idiot who found my arrangement.”

“We have only just taken our first steps.”

“Fat cats are permitted to operate as is.”

“All right.”

They have received permission from Decatra and are operating quite close to Mayton Street, where Decatra has influence. As it is physically close to the Mayton family, you can quickly read the news and situation of the Mayton family. Sounds of the Night made a deal with Decatra because of that fact.

Decatra stood up. I looked out the window. A blue moon hung in the sky. He asked only in his mind.

‘Is this something we can look forward to, Larsen?’

For some reason, I wanted to look forward to it.

* * *

The next morning.

A leather pouch was placed by Larsen’s bedside.

‘when?’

I didn’t feel any presence at all. The leather pouch was full of gold coins.

‘Approximately 3 billion grand.’

I was shocked when I saw this at the Starlight Library. Will there actually be an arrangement for Decatra? In fact, it is true that writer Cha Seong-min set the theme for ‘Sounds of the Night’. However, it has never been directly stated that it is related to Decatra.

This result was achieved by searching for clues in the Starlight Library and combining knowledge as author Cha Seong-min.

‘For two years… there is no shortage of money to spend generously.’

3 billion grand is equivalent to 3 billion won in Korean currency. This will become the driving force that will help Larsen grow during the two-year pilgrimage.

Lydia, who was sleeping in the next bed, woke up.

“Haaaaam! what? Are you eating it?”

“did you sleep well?”

“huh. “I dreamed of playing with a cat.”

“Dream of playing with a cat?”

Larsen felt an eerie moment.

[huh. [I dreamed of playing with a cat.]

Every time Lydia had such a dream, Kashin, the main character in the novel, had to be nervous. Because that meant the attack would continue soon.

‘Lydia’s precognitive dream!’

I’m not sure if that precognitive dream is 100% correct, but Cheonan was clearly sending a warning as well.

There is something around. But I couldn’t tell exactly what it was.

After about 10 seconds had passed, Larsen knew.

“Lydia.”

“huh?”

Larsen gave Lydia a strange order.

“Set this inn on fire. As loud as possible.”
