Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 72

The youngest son of the magic family, episode 72,

Cha Seong-min saw a news article just before setting up about the ‘Crow Clan’.

The title had something to do with ‘a magpie returning a favor’.

Cha Seong-min saw that and without thinking about it, he set the story about a crow returning the favor. I set it to crow instead of magpie because I was afraid that if I set it to magpie, it would look like it was missing.

That is the background to the birth of this ‘Crow Clan’.

Lydia continued to look at the Crow Clan and Larsen alternately, as if curious.

“They say the Crow clan returns the favor.”

I smiled brightly.

“I guess these are good kids.”

One of the Crow Clan introduced himself. I bowed my back lightly.

“My name is Tuma. “Your name?”

“Larsen.”

“Nice to meet you. me. “I know the poop tiger.”

The crow clan walked a little strangely. I walked waddling. Walking didn’t seem very familiar.

“Dung tiger. one person. one person. “I go.”

The term ‘dung tiger’ seemed to refer to the ‘golden tiger tribe’. They are also the beast people that Larsen is looking for. The Geumho tribe is a brave race.

It is known that the population is very small, but if the population were large, they might have ruled the continent instead of humans.

The famous mercenary king Dragoon is also a member of the Geumho tribe.

“Dung tiger. bad. we. eat.”

By ancient standards, the Geumho tribe was an object of fear even for humans. To them, humans were nothing more than prey, and so were other beast races.

They hate ‘those who are weak’.

They have a tendency to hate beyond the level of dislike. Although time has passed and this tendency has faded to the present, it is an instinct possessed by the beastmen of the Geumho tribe.

Thanks to the Crow tribe, who revealed his name as Tuma, I realized one thing again.

‘A lot of ordinary people in unprotected areas are probably being eaten by the Geumho tribe.’

The protected areas are the three great families or the Holy Empire. Otherwise, similar forces protect humans. Humans are the absolute.

But what about unprotected areas? What Cha Seong-min set in the past was reality for people in this world.

“Are there a lot of poop tigers here?”

“There are two. I don’t know where one is. “I know one.”

As expected of cowards, the Crow clan seemed to have accurately identified the location of the predator.

They were also a clan that was very knowledgeable about information.

“Please guide me.”

“Dung tiger. we. “They eat it.”

Larsen looked at Tuma blankly. At that moment, many of the Crow clan took a step back. Those who were more proactive than anyone else in order to eat gold coins quickly turned into timid people.

“Tuma. cheer up.”

“Tuma. you. Believe.”

“Tuma. best. “Resourceful.”

The Crow Clan walked away at least ten steps, leaving Larsen and Tuma behind. Tuma trembled.

“Brothers. me. scary.”

Larsen spoke again.

“You have to repay the favor, right?”

“Ugh, grace. “I will pay you back.”

Tuma was in tears. A pair of wings fluttered. I bowed my head.

“me. Tuma returns the favor.”

Tuma could not refuse under the absolute value set by Cha Seong-min. Larsen felt it again. How powerful is the setting value set by Cha Seong-min?

‘Even though I’m really scared. Nevertheless, you are trying to help me.’

In fact, even if Tuma runs away, Larsen cannot catch him. Because they have wings and Larsen can’t fly yet. The Crow Clan also knows this well. It’s their habit to run high into the sky when they see a human.

‘These are the settings I set.’

Countless people in unprotected areas live under threats to their survival that modern humans on Earth cannot even imagine.

There is also a crow clan that, even though they are scared, has the courage to return the favor. For some reason, an unknown sense of responsibility weighed on Larsen’s shoulders.

He didn’t show it on the outside.

“let’s go. Tuma returns the favor.”

I gave him 1 grand more. By depositing 1 grand, Tuma’s courage was filled.

“Tuma! favor! Pay it forward! Tuma! intrepidity! Tuma! the rich!”

For reference, ‘Grand’ was similar in value to the Korean ‘Won’.

* * *

The Grandels.

Tuwang Magner sat on a chair and picked his ears.

“Oh, really. older brother. “Can you stop nagging me?”

Magner recently defeated a bandit. The problem is that the bandits were only the ‘tail’.

“How many times do I tell you that catching them and kicking them isn’t the only solution?”

“that. why. What do you do when everything disappears with just a tap of your finger? “Who knew I would die?”

“This guy!”

The matriarch of the Grandel family raised her fist.

“why? Are you going to hit it? “Is it okay for you, matriarch?”

“Whoa.”

The head of the Grandel family. ‘Bellatudo’, one of the world’s absolute rulers, sighed deeply.

“done. “Let’s not talk.”

There is so much to nag about. This little brother only knows how to use his strength and can’t use his brain.

“No, they said they would take Rosaline as their concubine because she was pretty.”

“what?”

The ground shook as if there had been an earthquake.

“Good job. Good kill. “Did you kill him in as painful a way as possible?”

“no. “When I tapped on it, everything was searched?”

“I should have killed him painfully!”

“What is the head of the Grandel family talking about? “If you kill someone, shouldn’t you let them go without pain?”

“That applies to humans as well. “Those who are not human must be killed as painfully as possible.”

“If people around the world hear what you say, they will be shocked and turn a blind eye to you. Fair and fair. A great and warm saint. “I can’t believe Bellatudo, the king of lovingkindness, would say something like this.”

Bellatudo cleared his throat. My true self keeps coming out in front of my younger brother. The two had a very special brotherly love and talked about various things when they met.

“Larsen. “How much did you say you taught him?”

“These are the four basic wills and three basic martial arts of the Grandel family that can be obtained just by going to a local bookstore.”

damage. Activation. Subdue.

Only very basic movements were taught, focusing on these three things.

“Well, I think it’s time to tell you the truth.”

“What truth? “Did you hit something again?”

“That’s not it.”

Magnor made eye contact with Bellatudo. sometimes. Although it was very rare, Magner would put weight like this when talking seriously.

“He has a very unusual constitution.”

“What?”

“It absorbed the fighting power. That’s the first thing, and secondly, you can use mana to bring out martial arts.”

“What nonsense!”

nonsense. Fighting power and mana are fundamentally different.

Just as you cannot use magic with fighting power, you cannot use martial arts with mana. In the first place, the nature itself is different.

“It’s not as efficient as fighting power, but I’m managing to imitate it. “It’s very inefficient and puts a lot of strain on the body, but your body is naturally capable of handling it?”

“….”

Bellatudo could tell. What my brother said was true.

“Maybe we will see a wizard using real martial arts. “In the not too distant future.”

“….”

“Isn’t it fun? The speed of understanding and absorbing Grandel’s four wills was also beyond imagination.”

The two talked for over an hour about Larsen. Magner seemed really happy. After talking for about an hour, Magner stood up.

“If anything happens that could cause harm to the Grandel family.”

If it’s because of Larsen.

“As a teacher, I will take responsibility and kill him.”

Bellatudo closed his eyes. Magner quietly closed the door and went out. Bellatudo understood what his brother meant.

[As a teacher, I will take responsibility and kill that bastard.]

That means taking responsibility for one’s own actions. It’s not a lie that I’m going to kill Larsen. But then Magner will commit suicide. Take responsibility as a teacher. Bellatudo’s heart became heavy.

On the other hand, I was curious about this guy named Larsen.

‘Shall we… meet him sometime?’

I wanted to meet what kind of guy he was that made my younger brother, who was bored with the world, so excited.

* * *

Lydia’s legs hurt. I was too tired to leave the ‘Silk Road’, a well-paved road in the middle of unknown cliffs, and move along the paths between unknown cliffs.

“Larsen. “My legs hurt.”

Although Lydia had outstanding talent as a fire mage, she was still a 14-year-old girl.

There was a big difference in physical ability compared to Larsen, who was born with sacral retardation. Larsen looked back at Lydia.

‘ah.’

Lydia was already at her physical limit.

‘I didn’t think of something simple.’

What will happen when you meet the Geumho tribe? Larsen already knows everything.

I know the Geumho tribe well. It is better without Lydia when meeting the Geumho tribe. There will be at least one battle.

I was so caught up in the idea of meeting the Geumho tribe that I didn’t think about the element of Lydia.

“Lydia. “I’m taking a break.”

“here?”

“no.”

Larsen sprayed Gran in the air. Several members of the crow clan that had been wandering in the sky came down. Their vigilance has decreased significantly.

I continued throwing money around like I did before.

“Guide me to a safe place.”

“me. A torch that returns favors. safety. let’s go.”

A crow clan named Torch took the lead.

“Lydia. Follow the torch.”

“Can’t I go with you? “I have recovered all my stamina.”

Larsen shook his head. Looking at Cheonan, Lydia is already at its limit. My foot was also swollen and close to a stress fracture. If you push yourself just a little harder, you’ll hurt your bones. I won’t be able to use magic because I don’t have enough stamina.

“Don’t overdo it.”

“It’s not unreasonable. “I have fully recovered.”

Larsen made eye contact with Lydia. Lydia is still weak. Can not help it.

It takes a long time for something called ‘magic’ to become prosperous. It does not become stronger gradually, but in a stepwise manner.

“You’re no help yet. To me.”

“….”

“There is. Because that’s what helps me.”

Lydia bit her lip slightly. why me! I wanted to shout, but I didn’t. I lowered my head.

“okay. “I’ll be resting.”

Larsen turned around coldly. I felt a little sorry to see Lydia lowering her head, but I didn’t show it. Lydia stared at Larsen’s back as he walked away.

‘I am weak.’

That was true.

‘I don’t want to be weak.’

At that moment, a circle rotated rapidly in Lydia’s chest.

Although no one saw it, fire poured down on Lydia’s head. The fire covered Lydia’s body like an illusion and then disappeared on its own.

Lydia herself didn’t feel it either.

“I will become stronger.”

I promised myself that I would become stronger and prevent something like this from happening again.

I didn’t want to be an unhelpful contractor. I wanted to be helpful. That intense desire burned like a flame.

“I will definitely become stronger.”

At that time, Larsen’s Cheonan read one interpretation value.

[A ‘variable’ that affects the story has occurred.]

[The character ‘Phenix’s child’ pledges to grow.]

[The fire god ‘Phenix’ begins to look at his child with warm eyes.]

Larsen couldn’t believe his eyes for a moment. I saw it clearly. The word ‘Phenix’.
