Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 99
The youngest son of the magic family, Episode 99,
Larsen said.
“I also have requirements.”
Heira’s body flinched. Usually, in cases like this, you would say, ‘I have a favor to ask, too.’
However, Larsen’s attitude was so confident that it was even overlooked. What kind of 15-year-old boy in this world would talk to the world’s absolute power, Bellatudo, like that?
“Requirements?”
“yes.”
“Usually I have a favor to ask. “Isn’t that polite to say?”
“Because the person who asked for the favor is King Myeong. “I am in a position to accept requests, so I thought I could ask for the minimum.”
Bellatudo chuckled.
“If you’re so strict, I can just leave and come back.”
“If you wanted to do it, you would have done it. “I don’t know much about the Shadow Wasteland, but I understand that it is under Mayton’s direct jurisdiction.”
This is where Mayton rules. For Bellatudo to step forward in such a place is no different from a declaration of war.
In order for Bellatudo to go there, he needs to inform Mayton in advance and coordinate with Mayton.
That is why the Absolute is inconvenient. You cannot move carelessly. Because every move creates numerous interpretations and speculations from the world.
“It seems that the head of the family is unable to go in person.”
“There is also a way to send someone else to retrieve the books without me having to go. “What are you going to do?”
Bellatudo’s smile deepened. I decided to listen a little more to what this rambunctious little guy was saying.
“In that case, you could have sent subordinates or hired mercenaries, but the fact that you didn’t do that means that you ultimately need someone you can trust.”
He even sends his beloved only daughter, Rosaline, with him.
“Keep talking.”
“I am surprised and grateful that you believed in me so much. But regardless of that, he needed a trustworthy person and even tested that person to see if he had sufficient ability. And he wants to send his daughter with him to that supposedly dangerous place.”
Larsen looked into Bellatudo’s eyes. Bellatudo nodded silently as if to continue.
“Then that means there is something there that Rosalyn needs. And one more thing. I think there’s a high chance that something I don’t know about will be consumed or disappear right away. In other words, the benefit I can gain from this request is very limited.”
That’s why they wanted to send Rosaline along. That’s what Larsen judged.
“Hehehe.”
“Then it becomes clear that the King is asking me for a favor. Therefore, I decided that it was a situation where I could confidently make a request to Bellatudo. “If my judgment is wrong, please teach me.”
To put it simply, the teaching here means that one will endure ‘physical violence’. To put it bluntly, ‘If what I say is wrong, beat me up!’ Meaning of degree. Of course, Bellatudo also understood exactly what it meant.
“Larsen. “Tell me honestly.”
“yes?”
“How old are you?”
“I turned 15 this year.”
“Are all Mayton kids like this?”
Bellatudo trembled with a somewhat humorous expression.
“If all your brothers were like you, the next generation would be very happy. No, I wish everyone were like you.”
“…What does it mean?”
“If there were seven people like you, wouldn’t the seven of them fight and fight each other and exhaust all their strength? It’s a war waged by seven guys like you. “It gives me goosebumps.”
Bellatudo giggled.
“If there are seven people like you in a family, it is certain that the family will be destroyed. “Now I understand what Magner means by being a disgusting guy.”
Bellatudo knows. Not all of Mayton’s seven brothers, including Larsen, are like Larsen. In fact, there are at most three successor candidates that Bellatudo is looking at. One of them is missing, so the only people Bellatudo cares about are Evelia and Persha.
“If your judgment is really wrong, why are you asking me to teach you?”
“….”
“I guess it’s because I’m confident that there is absolutely no mistake.”
“I did that because I know that Bellatu is not the kind of person who would insist that something is right.”
“It feels like I’ve greased my tongue three hundred times.”
Clever and cunning. It wasn’t a tendency that Bellatudo liked. Nevertheless, Bellatudo really liked Larsen. This was because he was clever and cunning, but did not tell lies. I liked the way he led every situation with only the truth.
“In conclusion, you are right. “What can I listen to?”
Larsen made a demand, not a request. Requests and demands are different. You can refuse a request, but you cannot refuse a request in this situation. In a situation where he didn’t know what to ask for, Bellatudo gave in one step.
“Please find Geumho tribe Mirang.”
“Mirang.”
It seemed that Bellatudo already knew about Mirang. It was a part where the information power of the martial arts expert could be confirmed.
“I’ll find it for you. This girl from the Geumho clan is quite famous these days. “Are you about 6 years old now?”
“yes.”
Nor was he asked about his relationship with Larsen. It meant that Bellatudo already knew. Bellatudo and Magner described Larsen as a ‘gross bastard,’ but from Larsen’s point of view, Bellatudo and Magner are more disgusting. I don’t know how they keep track of all this completely unrelated stuff. Rather, I was curious about Larsen.
“I think you already know about Mirang.”
“You know, then. He is a member of the Geumho clan who is likely to be the next mercenary king. “I heard you had a fight with the mercenary king recently.”
“…yes? “You won’t be a match for me, right?”
“It is said that a priest from Hollen found him barely able to breathe and treated him.”
“….”
Does this mean that Mirang, who was afraid to even go to the village due to his weak strength, has now grown to the point where he can challenge the mercenary king?
‘It is natural that Mirang was defeated.’
Is the mercenary king called the mercenary king for nothing? Although he is not as powerful as the heads of the world’s three largest families, the Mercenary King is also one of the absolute figures with enormous power. I don’t know what I was thinking when I clashed with the mercenary king. Did God’s restrictions loosen and run wild without realizing how scary the world was? That’s what I thought.
“This guy. “I don’t know what your relationship is with Mirang, but you are missing one fact.”
“…yes?”
“I thought he was an incredibly smart guy, but it’s nice to see that he still has a human side.”
Bellatudo stroked his chest.
“I almost thought you were a machine made of magic.”
Bellatudo continued speaking while laughing.
“There are very few people who survived the fight against the mercenary king. “Do you know who that is?”
“Who is there?”
“First of all, the closest Magner.”
He pointed at himself with his finger.
“and me.”
He pointed to a place in the distance.
“Your family’s Evelia. And Carcia, the head of the Seid family. “It’s not known to the world, but [silently and secretly] is everything.”
He added a word as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“Oh. Even Kashin Seid.”
In other words, only those in the world who were absolutely self-sufficient survived the battle against the mercenary king. In other words, it is said that one could only survive ‘by winning’.
“Kashin Seid is… well. It was difficult to see it as a battle. Because it was closer to a map. Anyway, Mirang and the girl survived the battle with the mercenary king. The mercenary king saved his life. He’s a very cruel guy. “Why would you do that?”
“I think it’s because I saw the potential.”
Bellatudo clapped his hands lightly.
“That’s why I think of myself as the next mercenary king. Anyway, is this explained now? As I was researching Mirang, I also found out that he is somewhat related to you. Anyway, I just need to find Mirang, right?”
“yes. I’m planning to move with Mirang. “I’m still weak.”
“….”
Bellatudo was truly bewildered.
“Are you weak? who? you?”
“yes. “Am I not still a 15-year-old boy who deserves protection?”
“….”
What was absurd to Bellatudo was not that Larsen was claiming that he was weak. What was truly absurd was that Larsen was being sincere now.
‘Do you really think that?’
If I had achieved that level at that age, I would have been puffed up and conceited.
‘That’s the scariest thing about that guy.’
In fact, Rosalind alone considers herself to be quite strong.
That’s not Rosalyn’s fault. That’s just natural.
Because Rosaline inherited Grandel’s blood and body, and received Grandel’s education. That kid is strong.
‘What on earth are you looking at that makes you look like that?’
No matter how much I thought about it, that guy didn’t seem to be 15 years old.
He doesn’t have the spirit or bravado typical of a 15-year-old, and he truly thinks of himself as weak. That was the scariest thing. Because humans become stronger when they recognize their shortcomings. Because when there is deficiency, effort follows.
‘You’ve already learned that humility is the most dangerous weapon.’
There was a bit of Bellatudo’s illusion mixed in here. Larsen is Cha Seong-min, and Cha Seong-min knows everything about the second half of the novel.
The most powerful memories are from the latter part of the novel, where the main character, Kashin Seid, blows away an entire mountain with a single swing of his sword.
He is truly the main character of the Munchkin novel.
He splits the sky with his sword and causes an earthquake.
One of those colleagues, Lydia, is determined to burn an entire island.
Writer Cha Seong-min knew all that and could not help but think that he was naturally weak.
It wasn’t that Larsen was extremely humble, it was just that he knew too much.
I didn’t show it outwardly.
“I will contact you within two days. “Until then, get ready to leave with Rosalyn.”
* * *
Grandel, a master of martial arts.
Larsen opened the front door of the place. Without anyone’s help. I felt my fighting power momentarily amplify. Two-star fighting power located throughout the body. Considering that Rosalyn is now a 3-star, the growth rate was incredible.
There was a familiar person standing outside the front door.
“Mirang!”
In Mirang’s right hand was the leg of the ‘Shapuran wild boar’, famous for its delicious taste. Mirang threw it away.
“Eat or not.”
Mirang’s expression was extremely cold, but her ears perked up.
“Because I picked it up when I came.”
I remembered eating it deliciously when Mirang had roasted Shapuran wild boar before. Rosaline licked her lips.
“Shapuran wild boar? “That is very difficult to obtain.”
“With your family’s wealth, you could just get it, right?”
“Skilled hunters who can catch that don’t sell it. Busy eating. That’s why it’s so precious.”
Therefore, Bellatudo, who dislikes unnecessary luxury, would not have spent a lot of money to buy a Shapuran wild boar.
Mirang’s eyebrows twitched.
“What are you?”
Despite Mirang’s rude attitude, Rosaline did not lose her manners.
“My name is Rosalyn. “This is Grandel’s wife’s meal.”
He truly looked like a descendant of one of the three great families.
“ah. Grandel’s only daughter?”
“yes. you’re right. “What is your name?”
I knew it was Mirang already, but I asked politely. I’m being polite. Mirang responded.
“What are you going to do with my name?”
Larsen felt that Mirang was strangely aggressive.
‘what?’
Even though there is no such thing as Mirang, and the culture of etiquette is very different from that of humans, it is still not that much. I don’t know what happened in the past year.
But Mirang said something absurd. It was something that even Larsen didn’t expect.
“Are you two going to get married?”
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Mirang’s fangs were exposed.
