Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 143

143 – I want you to take care of ■■■ for the rest of your life.

The Fritz family’s mansion, Trixie’s room.

In a space so large that it feels like a waste to call it a ‘room’, the father and daughter had a meeting after a long time.

Inside, the fragrant aroma of tea was spreading, but even the conversation between the two was not heartwarming.

“Daughter. Didn’t she say she was going to destroy the mansion?”

The head of the Fritz family. Isaac von Fritz.

His voice was as calm as usual, and that made it all the more difficult to deal with.

“Cool—!”

Isaac coughed violently.

Trixie gently turned her head away.

It wasn’t just because the topic of conversation was awkward. It was just that it was still difficult and difficult for the girl to face up to her father, who was noticeably deteriorating.

“You managed to bring the guy who said that.”

“….”

Trixie still couldn’t read her father’s expression. There was no accent in his tone, no emotion on his face.

“You should know what is in this territory.”

“I know.”

A place full of the breath of her mother, the one who passed down the ‘Blue Flame’ to Trixie. That was the fertile land of Fritz.

Trixie added a word.

“I knew my father would be against it.”

“You obviously did that even though you knew it.”

Isaac nodded slowly.

“There must be a reason why you brought me here without knowing it. I would like to hear the reason.”

“There was something I wanted.”

“You mean you couldn’t solve it with gold coins?”

Trixie nodded. At the same time he carefully puts one of his belts on the desk.

“Yes. It was something I really wanted, and in exchange for it, I brought it here. Because I knew Daddy would turn it down anyway.”

“Daughter.”

After spitting out those two words, Isaac stared at Trixie’s face for a while.

“… You are lying to your father again.”

Finally, Trixie looked down.

My father was never fooled by his words. He has always been since he was a child. Not even once.

“My daughter seems to have a completely different purpose. Did this father see it wrong?”

The girl finally let out a sigh. If she couldn’t lie, she had no choice but to tell the truth.

“Dad.”

“If you have something to say, I would like to say it.”

“In order to inherit her mother’s will, I will definitely rise to the level of a great wizard. It has to be.”

Trixie calmly continues her words.

“But I hate to admit it, I’ve been able to achieve a lot of magical things while hanging out with Plan.”

A fool playing a genius.

A modifier used to describe Trixie in the past. However, thanks to Plan, the girl was able to break free from her obsession that she had to be seen as a genius.

Now, Trixie is able to turn her eyes to new challenges.

“If the mage tower is built, my level will be much higher than it is now.”

“That’s what I was thinking.”

Isaac nodded her head in understanding.

“You are worried. Will I just advance toward the realm of being a great mage, or will I protect this territory?”

“Yes.”

“It’s an admirable worry, but I can’t praise you.”

There is still no accent in Isaac’s voice. But Trixie felt that her father’s voice had become a little more determined.

“Isn’t it that you even thought of deceiving me because you couldn’t make up your own mind in the end?”

“I didn’t learn this. So I don’t know.”

“Things that can be achieved even without learning. What the family head needs is an intuition that can surpass even the future.”

“Intuition….”

Trixie muttered two words blankly.

For a girl who has perfected only what she has learned, it is still too difficult to make a leap forward even in an unpredictable future.

“I don’t have much time left to live. What would have happened if it had been a little later and you couldn’t have asked my opinion?”

“If so….”

Trixie narrowed her brows.

After a moment of silence, she shook her head.

“… I don’t know.”

“Ha ha.”

Isaac exhaled quietly. Even this she had no accent, so she couldn’t tell if she was sighing or exhaling.

But it was probably just a sigh.

“Daughter.”

Trixie answered with her father’s gaze.

“Yes.”

“You still have a long way to go. It’s not enough to leave the housekeeper. This time, I will meet with Flan and make a decision.”

“Do it.”

“Just.”

Isaac took Trixie’s hand with her thin hand.

“You should only remember the family motto of Fritz.”

“Home motto.”

“Yes, family motto.”

Trixie quietly nodded her head.

“If you want to light a fire, start with yourself.”

While muttering it softly.

◈

The drawing room of the Fritz family.

“To be able to see the main characters of the rumor in person.”

At the first words Isaac uttered when he appeared, Louis and Becky, who were standing next to her, quickly bowed their heads.

“Hello! This is Wizard Becky!”

“This is Louis.”

The family head lightly shook her hand, as if telling her not to worry.

“Stay comfortably. They are representatives who go with their daughter, so it would be reasonable to welcome them.”

“Heo Eok, thank you!”

Becky bowed her head once more.

I looked at Isaac slowly.

Indigo-blue hair and beard grown long. Although he was very skinny, his impeccable aura showed that he was still a good wizard.

However, there was an exceptionally noticeable feature.

‘It looks like a doll.’

Isaac’s voice was pitchless and his face was expressionless. It was as if a doll imitating a human was alive and moving.

Even while I was thinking about that, his gaze was only on me, and I finally opened my mouth.

“Wizard. It’s a flan.”

Upon hearing my greeting, Isaac reacted very lightly. He probably burst out laughing in his own way.

Becky lifted her tiptoe and whispered in my ear.

“Hey, flan! A little more, that, there is such a thing as politeness!”

“This is polite.”

“… When I think about it, it seems like that.”

Understandably, Becky was quick to give up.

Cool—!

Then. Isaac let out a cough that made his body shake. At first glance, the situation became serious, and the atmosphere became delicate.

“Excuse me. I’m a little unwell. Understand.”

It didn’t seem like it was a bad level, but he reassured us in his own way and then opened his mouth again.

“I heard about the story and looked at the plans. Did you say you would destroy this mansion and build a mage tower?”

“Yes.”

“I’m not in a hurry to hear such words overnight. Can we talk alone for a while?”

I silently nodded.

It would be the quickest way to talk with the householder alone, so it was what I wanted from this side as well.

I suddenly turned around and saw Becky shouting something with her mouth.

‘Well, ha, go, wow!’

Me and Isaac walked outside the mansion for a while.

He moved slowly, patting the floor with his cane, but I didn’t bother. Because I liked the weather and scenery quite a bit.

The sky is blue as if painted with paint, and the wind blowing is quite gentle. It was a pleasant day that anyone would be tempted to go on a picnic.

No, it seemed they were already on a picnic.

“Meet the family head!”

“Hmm? This is the person I saw in the newspaper!”

“Please take good care of our teddy bear princess!”

I am distinctly different from Judith’s maids who look down on me when they see me. Even while they were faithfully doing their jobs, the atmosphere was bright as if they were enjoying a picnic.

The reaction of the local residents was not very different. Everyone who faced Isaac greeted him brightly, and there was no deceit in his smile.

Suddenly Isaac murmured.

“It will take some getting used to. Everyone is full of life.”

“Nice place.”

“Yes. It’s a good place. Nice place….”

Isaac’s eyes widened as he muttered those words.

After following Isaac for a long time, a huge garden finally appeared. It was so large that it would make no sense to describe it as a ‘hill’.

“Interesting.”

It was something I muttered without even realizing it.

The extraordinaryness of the garden was not limited to its size. A book, not a flower, blooms at the end of a huge plant stem. Seeing the buds of books gathering to form a garden was a mystery in itself.

“Does the book contain magical powers? Excellent.”

“As expected, I know right away. Most of them are just preoccupied with admiration.”

Type is just type.

The spell written in type is also just a spell, but if the power is great, the story is different. If it is written down somewhere, that alone will bear and manifest magical power.

Magic book.

In the old world, these books were called that. Needless to say, it was difficult to find.

However, it was spread out in the form of a garden now. As a mage, it was a very natural step for her interest to fluctuate greatly.

“I don’t think it would have been easy to collect.”

“I am Fritz. It’s enough to collect the uncommon until it looks common. By the way, haven’t you heard of Fritz’s garden?”

“Not at all.”

“How strange. I prided myself on being very famous among wizards in this world.”

In the middle of the garden, a very large book was spread out like a chair. He takes a seat first and then invites me to sit across from him.

“It was a privilege to see the representatives of the Faculty of Magic with my own eyes. The mana you can feel for his age is amazing, and he is polite and has a fresh taste.”

“Because they are carefully selected gemstones.”

“But if you ask me if I remember the face, no.”

Isaac taps the ground once with his cane, and a book in the shape of a bud opens and spits out a teacup and kettle.

He tilts the teapot with his mind movement, and soon the two teacups are filled.

“Flan, it’s because I couldn’t take my eyes off you. I admired it as soon as I saw it. Would you like a drink?”

He says he admires him, but he doesn’t have an accent at all, so it’s awkward to listen to. I quietly accepted the cup he offered me.

“I wonder if it’s really the center of change, even though it’s short, it has the most dignity. The two people standing next to them looked nothing but children.”

“Well, that’s it.”

I took a sip of tea.

The fragrance in the mouth was very luxurious. It was the scent that Trixie usually wore as perfume.

“Now I want to get to the point.”

“Yes. I will.”

Isaac nodded his head too. Then, he takes out a piece of rolled paper from his bosom and unfolds it.

“I looked carefully at the plan you gave me. This territory is the most suitable for building a mage tower.”

“Yes.”

“I have confirmed that I will double the price of the land and let Fritz’s characters live in a much better environment than they are now….”

Isaac rolled up the paper again.

“There are values that are invisible to the naked eye. Wealth alone cannot solve this.”

“That doesn’t sound like a refusal.”

I put down the teacup and continued.

“If you want something different, suggest it. Since it’s to build a mage tower, I also consider a lot of things.”

“Yes. Then I will offer you one thing.”

Isaac also puts down the teacup.

He looks at me blankly.

“I want you to take care of Trixie for the rest of your life.”

A moment of silence fell in the garden at the slightly subtle and slightly meaningful remark.

“… At least, I plan to raise her until she can find her own path to magic.”

“I don’t mean that. Flan.”

On his face, blue eyes resembling Trixie’s fluttered.

He looked me in the eye, desperately trying to show that what he was saying was sincere.

The moment when I suddenly felt that the scent of jasmine had grown stronger.

“If you marry Trixie, then I will give permission.”

He suggested that.
