Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 94
Episode 94 of Magic Master’s Youngest Son
.
Magnor visited Bellatudo’s garden.
This place, named ‘Fog Garden’, was a garden that Bellatudo cultivated alone without anyone’s help.
White gypsophila are in full bloom here all year round, and it was the same today.
Magner entered the Fog Garden trembling.
“It really doesn’t suit my taste. “Every time I see it.”
“Are you here?”
Bellatudo, who was squatting among the gypsum flowers and covering himself with dirt, stood up.
“Who would look at you now and think you are a king?”
“What does it matter what it looks like?”
Bellatudo chuckled. People in the world know him as the king of lovingkindness, but now Bellatudo just looks like a farmer in a quiet country.
Magner shook his head.
“Well, anyway. “Why did you call me here?”
“I think you probably noticed.”
No one can enter Bellatudo’s Fog Garden.
This is a space just for Bellatudo himself. Anyone who enters here without Belatudo’s permission is severely punished by the family’s strict laws. If you intentionally invade this area, you may be punished by death. The Garden of Fog was such a sacred place that it symbolized the absolute authority of Gaju Bellatudo.
The only person who could freely enter and exit this place was Bellatudo’s wife, and even his beloved daughter, Rosaline, could only enter with Bellatudo’s permission.
“Is it because of Larsen?”
“You guy. I don’t think his reckless personality would have gone anywhere if he was driven by curiosity. Moreover, I really like Larsen.”
“Have you noticed anything?”
“okay. But as he entered and exited the front door, his fighting power amplified. “If he learns how to handle his fighting power more and learns proper methods to grow his fighting power, perhaps Larsen can become a great martial artist.”
“It’s not just a possibility, it’s definitely going to be a huge success. “This is my first time seeing a genius who surpasses me.”
“Does it seem to you that you are just boneless?”
“no. He’s also much smarter than me. In fact, the scariest thing is its heart condition. “I think the little guy ate 3,000 boiled snakes.”
Moreover, he is young. That’s the scariest thing. He’s only 14 years old. What will happen when Larsen grows in the future? No one can predict what kind of threat it will grow into to Grandel. Even matriarch Bellatudo.
“I think you will raise Larsen.”
“I already raised it. “I am his teacher.”
“no. “Not something so superficial.”
Bellatudo shook the dirt off his butt.
widely! widely! Dust rose. The wind blew. The gypsophila swayed back and forth with the wind.
“Do you think I don’t know you?”
“It is said that you know the inside of ten roads, but you do not know the inside of a person in one road. “How do you know everything about me?”
“I don’t know everyone, but I know your greed for martial arts.”
Bellatudo looked at Magner for a long time.
Magnor also looked at Bellatudo for a while. After a while, Bellatudo let out a deep sigh.
“Are you going to listen if I stop you?”
“When did you see me listen to you well?”
“It did. You never listened to me. That’s why the current Tuwang is here.”
Bellatudo thinks Magner has already made up his mind. It was clear that he would teach Larsen the martial arts and meditation that could be said to be everything to Grandel.
“What you learn at Grandel cannot be taken outside of Grandel. That is the family law that applies to you and me.”
“I know.”
“If you break that law, you will have to give up everything you got from Grandel.”
Magner shrugged.
“It sounds like they are going to cut off all the tendons in my wrists and ankles and take away all my fighting power, rendering me half crippled.”
“Little brother. I hope you don’t make foolish choices. Larsen is definitely an outstanding kid, but he could also become our enemy in the future.”
“Shouldn’t we raise them even more because they could become enemies? We are Grandel.”
The stronger the enemy, the stronger Grandel becomes. That’s Grandel’s way. Bellatudo continued speaking without hesitation.
“Do you think I can leave Larsen alone, who learned Grandel’s things in a wrong way?”
“I force him to teach me, but he won’t learn and get bored? “Strictly speaking, he is a victim.”
“….”
“There is no cowardly Grandel in the world who threatens his victims. “If you do something like that, I will crush your jawbone first.”
Magner laughed loudly. Bellatudo sighed again.
This time, it seems like his younger brother doesn’t intend to listen to him again. Bellatudo sat down again.
He dug the soil with a hoe held in his right hand and compacted the soil with his left hand.
“I love you. “Magner, aren’t you my only living relative?”
“Wow. “He’s being disgusting again.”
“I don’t want to ruin my beloved younger brother with my own hands. “Please understand my heart.”
Although I say this, I know full well that Magner will not listen to me in the end. Magner didn’t answer. The law must be kept. Magner will also keep the law. But now was not the time.
“Once you don’t get caught by your family, isn’t there a crime?”
Even if you commit a crime, it is not a crime if you are not caught. Ironically, that was reality. Bellatudo did not respond and focused only on Gypsophila.
“I won’t commit a crime for the time being.”
Magner himself didn’t know how long that would last.
Magner turned his back and slowly walked away.
‘Thank you, brother.’
Bellatudo has always been like that. Although he was a troublemaker and a bad boy for his family, he always protected him and supported him in everything he did.
It was still the same now. If you’re going to talk about this, you can do it in a public space, such as the main building or study.
But now, we spoke in a very private space in Gaju called ‘Fog Garden’.
It means it’s a private story. I did not speak as the head of the Grandel family, but as the only older brother.
‘As the head of the family, I cannot accept this, but as an older brother, I understand. Well sir.’
I didn’t stop Magner. I just asked you to consider my feelings.
You can stop it if you wanted to, but not stopping it is tacit permission.
Although it was not a common sense conversation, the conversation between brothers Bellatudo and Magner, who had been on the battlefield together their entire lives, was unusual and they understood each other’s feelings better than anyone else.
‘I also understand your request not to be caught.’
You can’t go undetected forever. You’re bound to get caught someday. A genius like Larsen is bound to show off.
‘I’ll try to catch you as late as possible.’
I also enjoyed the fact that my brother had a similar mind as me. The blue moon in the sky looked particularly bright today.
‘Brother, you are honestly curious too. What happens when Larsen learns martial arts? Will it be possible to overcome the limits of martial arts? Will martial arts be able to develop further?’
Martial arts has continued to develop and come to this point.
But matriarch Bellatudo was always worried.
The development of martial arts has almost reached its limit. There doesn’t seem to be much room for further development.
However, magic and swordsmanship continue to develop. As time passes, martial arts master Grandel will gradually lose his power. That was Bellatudo’s recent concern. Perhaps that breakthrough was something I wanted to find in Larsen.
‘Well, your motivation for curiosity may be a little different from mine.’
Bellatudo is to break through the limits of martial arts, and Magne is to cultivate a martial artist named Larsen.
He muttered to himself.
“That’s right. How nice it would be if a man spoke straight and firmly. “He became the head of the family and learned very bad things.”
Magner’s steps were very light.
* * *
Magner said.
“You really think you won’t get caught?”
“Of course you’ll get caught.”
“If you thought you wouldn’t get caught, you don’t deserve to be my disciple.”
There Larsen had a hunch. There must have been some kind of tacit agreement between matriarch Bellatudo and his younger brother Magner. Even if there was an agreement, it is impossible to pass on Grandel’s work to others. Larsen’s head spun rapidly. what happened. What kind of conversation took place between Magner and Bellatudo? I was able to roughly guess everything.
Larsen grinned.
“Teacher, why are you trying to make me the worst person in the world?”
“What nonsense?”
“Do you think you don’t know Master’s plan? You must have discussed something with the matriarch, right? “I mean implicitly.”
I thought about it just in case.
“Did you call it the Fog Garden?”
Tuwang Magner paused for a moment. Magner was also a human being, and it was a situation where he couldn’t help but be embarrassed. Then, he burst into hearty laughter.
“This naughty little boy is very good at teasing people.”
“You’re not denying it.”
Larsen thought for a moment. What would a writer do? How will the situation be resolved in the most advantageous way for Larsen and Magner?
‘If I take what belongs to Grandel, I will end up turning Grandel into an enemy.’
Someday.
‘My goal is to live independently and enjoy life.’
Although I live really fiercely, my goals are quite simple compared to my fierceness. After turning 17, I become independent at 20 and live comfortably. With this power, money, and fame. But I can’t leave behind such regrets. Moreover, Magner will definitely be at a huge disadvantage. Larsen honestly didn’t like that either. I had no choice but to admit it.
‘I guess I have some affection for this old man.’
I could see clearly what was going to happen to me, but I didn’t want to leave it alone.
Magner asked.
“so. Would you like to learn martial arts formally?”
“no. “I’ll think about it.”
“haha. You are truly crazy. “Grandel’s martial arts is a unique discipline that cannot be learned even if you pay hundreds of millions of dollars.”
“The problem is that it is unique to Grandel.”
After thinking for a while, Larsen finally made a decision.
The author’s view of the world as a whole is broader than that of the characters. I don’t know the details, but the overall view is like that.
“I don’t want to hide like a rat and learn.”
It’s better not to learn. There are 6 years left until independence. If you work hard for 6 years, you will be happy for the rest of your life, but if you learn martial arts illegally, you can’t suffer threats for the rest of your life, right?
“I want exchange between academics.”
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t the head of the Mayton family give permission for that before?”
“I did. A long time ago.”
In that name, Larsen lived in Seid Street for four years.
“I can’t learn anything by looking at you, Master.”
How can a child who doesn’t even know numbers learn advanced mathematics? You can learn and use advanced mathematics by learning numbers step by step. It’s the same thing.
“My special eyes cannot interpret you at all. “Master’s level is needlessly too high.”
At this point, Magner seemed to know what Larsen was talking about.
“No way.”
“It’s probably true. “If I meet Rosalyn every day, spar with her, and compete against each other’s skills, I will be able to acquire martial arts skills naturally.”
Of course, it would take much longer than reading and interpreting the book, but it was also a safer and more practical method.
Magner said as if it were absurd.
“You say you can learn martial arts by interacting with Rosaline?”
“yes.”
“Is that really what you think? “Grandel’s martial arts?”
This is ridiculous. If you had to learn it by sight, it can’t even be called Grandel’s secret. If I had learned it by sight, the Grandel family would not be where it is today.
Larsen grinned.
“Do you think it’s impossible?”
“….”
Goosebumps appeared on Magner’s forearms. It was nonsense, but strangely it seemed to make sense.
I kept vaguely thinking that Larsen might be like that. My head kept shouting that this couldn’t be done. But strangely, it occurred to me that it might be possible.
‘If it’s this monster… maybe…’
Larsen had a strange power that made me harbor such vague expectations.
But then Larsen began to see a new interpretation.
[Raidione, the god of trickery, focuses on the character Larsen Maton.] This
was the first interpretation I had seen since Fenix, the god of fire.
