Nelson Lomon, who played an active part in the Anti-Magic War, was unfortunately a perfect wizard.
He had a good brain, good looks, a good personality, and a sense of humor.
In a word, it was different from most of the wizards who focused only on research in the closet.
‘Are you from Aurum, a wizard with good attachment and good looks?’
Doubt turned into certainty.
All the circumstances were making it known that this woman in front of him was a descendant of an unlucky sage.
But even if I was sure, I needed to confirm.
Ethan asked Chloe.
“Why do you want to check the magic circle?”
“I want to know if the story my grandfather told me was true.”
“What are you talking about?”
As the story continued, Ethan felt strange.
“My grandfather always said that the Demon King’s henchmen were greater than himself. But he said he seemed to be hiding himself.”
That was decisive.
‘This guy is a descendant of that unlucky guy!’
Then, suddenly, memories of the unlucky Nelson Lomon flooded in.
He looked like he was going to be angry at any moment.
But Chloe, unaware of it, continued to talk.
“So even before he died, he said that he was the only one who didn’t see the Demon King’s servants doing their best.”
shaking.
Ethan barely grasped the string of reason that was about to break.
Don’t do your best?
Are you better than yourself?
It was a phrase I had heard hundreds of times from Nelson Lomon more than a hundred years ago.
The sage always appreciated Ethan.
The problem was that he always put Ethan on the subject that he demeaned and evaluated it.
‘Unlucky bastard.’
Nelson Lomon was dissatisfied with Ethan’s all-out battle.
He said the same thing every time with that smirk on his face.
– Again, you’re not doing your best this time. When are you going to show your real talent?
At that time, Ethan’s legs were shaking, and he was feeling hungry as if his stomach was empty due to the depleted magical power.
Even after fighting so fiercely with all his might, Nelson Lomon did not believe that Ethan had always done his best.
Later, I had this thought.
‘Is this bastard doing this on purpose?’
But that wasn’t it.
He’s always genuinely asked that question.
That’s why Ethan thought Nelson Lomon was unlucky.
Ethan barely calmed his trembling lips and opened his mouth.
“He was the devil’s henchman. He is branded a traitor even by his lowly dark followers, and he is being slandered by all sorts of insults, and that seems too absurd.”
It was the words that he barely spoke while maintaining his rationality.
The Priest of the Church of Pars had said this, so it was worth considering.
It was well known to the public how much the Pars Church hated everything related to the Demon King.
So Ethan’s words could be seen as a warning.
A wise person would know the thorns hidden in Ethan’s words, and would not appreciate the demon king’s servants any more.
“no. I believe in what my grandfather said.”
But Ethan was oblivious.
Nelson Romon was the best wizard on the continent, but Ethan’s perception was that he was not very wise.
Having been instilled with such a man’s ideas, his descendants were no different.
“He must have been better than his grandfather. I want to know the truth!”
Ethan wanted to grind a honey chestnut on Chloe’s head at any moment.
‘Well, what if I don’t come out after finding out?’
Ethan wanted to hold his head with both hands.
‘It’s the same with grandfathers and granddaughters who can’t communicate even if they speak.’
The frustration felt by the sage over a hundred years ago was reviving.
the truth is bullshit. there’s nothing!
During the Anti-Magic War, he bumped into Nelson Romon dozens of times, but each time Ethan had to feel a wall he couldn’t dare to touch.
So it was just Nelson Lomon’s misunderstanding.
But I couldn’t correct that misunderstanding.
Who would believe that the man who was the demon king’s henchman at the time was reincarnated?
At first glance, you will receive suspicions as to whether or not there is something wrong with your mind.
“I, Priest. Excuse me, but if you keep doing this… … .”
The knight, who had been watching the two of them silently, was confused and eventually intervened.
However, Ethan cut the knight’s words as if he had made up his mind.
“I will take this person myself and investigate the magic circle. Haven’t you confirmed your identity anyway?”
Ethan said with a smile.
However, the knight nodded his head, feeling the eerie feeling of not knowing why.
At first, the Dark Follower’s right to investigate was given priority by the Priest of the Church of Pars.
So, if Ethan announced that he would go in and out with him, the knight could not stop it.
On the other hand, whether or not you know Ethan’s heart.
“Thank you very much!”
Immature Chloe smiled and thanked Ethan.
* * *
‘Are you lucky today?’
Chloe gave a refreshing smile.
My steps were light and I felt like I was flying.
Even though she was in a creepy, dirty underground canal.
‘To be able to confirm the truth my grandfather told me! I’ll have to tell Charlotte when I get back.’
Chloe clenched her fists in exhilaration.
Demon King’s Servant.
A hundred years ago, he was widely known as an evil plotter rather than a magician.
The center of the united kingdom was always wary of operations that came from the demon king’s servants, and considered those operations more dangerous than magic.
But Chloe’s grandfather, Nelson Lomon, was different.
-I disagree with the backbone of the United Kingdom or the post-war assessment. They have bad eyes to see. It’s like living with eyes that aren’t even the size of a buttonhole. tt!
The United Kingdom gave a harsh evaluation of the Demon King’s henchmen.
On the other hand, Nelson Lomon was overrated.
– At least it would have been my level. Although widely known as a tactician, I actually value his magic skills higher.
He used to complain to his granddaughters that he had not been able to properly share the discourse about magic with the demon king’s henchmen.
If an ordinary person praised a villain, his ideas would be questioned.
Fortunately, however, Nelson Lomon’s wackiness was widely known.
Therefore, people only regarded it as a curiosity peculiar to a wizard.
‘What the hell is a great wizard?’
It was a question that had occupied Chloe’s mind.
Who was Nelson Lomon?
He was active as one of the Seven Heroes in the Anti-Magic War, and was even called a great sage.
Chloe’s curiosity grew day by day, as his grandfather never spared his praise.
And finally, the day has come to answer that question.
“I’m really looking forward to how great the magic circle will be.”
Chloe couldn’t control her pounding heart and stumbled.
Then Ethan responded bluntly.
“There is nothing to look forward to. It’s just a magic circle drawn by the Demon King’s henchmen.”
But Chloe was not easily discouraged.
She was a descendant of the blood of the wise Nelson Lomon.
“Leave it. Am I right?”
Chloe never lost a smile on her lips.
There was no way my grandfather was wrong.
Above all else, Ethan’s reaction was all too familiar to Chloe.
Sometimes, when I say something related to the Demon King’s henchmen, those words come back.
Some even gave a warning.
-If you’re a sage, you’ll be questioned if you keep saying things like that.
It was natural.
No one in the world could have overestimated the person who used to be the Demon King’s henchman.
But Chloe was a wizard in pursuit of knowledge.
‘Because the truth I discovered is more valuable than what others think!’
It was something my grandfather always emphasized.
‘If you’re a priest of the Pars Church, of course you don’t want to listen to me.’
Chloe thought so and reacted to Ethan’s reaction like a moose.
Compared to his peers, he looked like an old man.
That was then.
Ethan’s gait slowed.
It seemed that we had now reached our destination.
Chloe struggled to follow Ethan’s stride, barely breathing.
“Wow, it has finally arrived! Oh, is that?!”
Chloe ran towards the dark magic circle with her eyes twinkling as if she had found a treasure.
And thoroughly inspected the damaged dark magic circle.
“This is the magic circle that Grandpa spoke of!”
Contrary to his overly lively personality, his actions were cautious.
She didn’t carelessly touch the magic circle.
He was only checking the sea of the abyss with his eyes from the permitted line.
“Nonsense!”
Chloe, who looked closely at the dark magic circle, let out an exclamation without realizing it.
“Maybe there is such an amazing magic?!”
Although it was dark magic, the concept and principle that constituted it were unusual.
Ordinary wizards wouldn’t even be able to try.
“It’s too bad that it was damaged. Whoa! What kind of bastard would do this!”
Above all, the magic circle, which is supposed to correspond to the original, could be activated even without sacrifice, which is essential for dark magic.
In other words, it meant that his skills as a wizard were so good that he did not have to rely on sacrifices.
“Hey, you mean you almost didn’t see this, didn’t you?”
Chloe turned back and looked at Ethan and chattered.
“You are wrong too. Look at this magic circle! It’s hard to believe that a person from a hundred years ago understood dark magic up to this point!”
Although Chloe was dealing with elemental magic, she also had a wealth of knowledge about dark magic.
Anyway, dark magic is also magic, so it was the result of studying randomly.
“Look at this part. Dark wizards rely on sacrifices, but the originals do not even contain such concepts and principles. It means that it was a magic that could be activated alone.”
Chloe wasn’t wrong.
Just as alchemy develops with the passage of time, swordsmanship and magic have progressed as much as time has accumulated.
However, the sea of the abyss was magic a hundred years ago, but it was quite difficult magic even now.
“Did you say that the Dark Followers will use this and revamp it at will? He’s a really rude person. How dare you touch the magic created by your grandfather’s rival!”
Chloe talked for a long time about the Demon King’s henchmen, and then looked at Ethan.
Ethan’s shoulders were shaking.
It was then that Chloe realized that she had made a mistake.
“Huh, I’m sorry.”
Chloe covered my mouth with one hand.
‘It’s a big deal. I had to be careful.’
The priest continued to warn her.
Don’t talk about the Demon King’s henchmen in front of the Priest of the Pars Church.
But I couldn’t feel better about ignoring that warning.
Chloe has a tendency to run wild in magic-related stories.
It was an incurable disease.
Chloe looked up and quickly added a few words.
“I didn’t ignore the priest’s words! I just thought that what my grandfather said was right, so I stopped without realizing it… … .”
Then Ethan waved his hand like a bug.
“It’s done. I have no intention of arguing with a young child. Please check the magic circle immediately.”
Chloe frowned at those words.
‘How old are you? I don’t think there’s even an age difference between me and me.’
That was then.
“yes?”
There was something strange in Chloe’s grumbling eyes.
Chloe ran to the spot and squatted down.
Then, with his eyes closed, he examined the magic circle in detail.
“This?”
Minute traces of divine power remained on the abyss sea magic circle.
‘How many times do you think you are really lucky today?’
Chloe grinned.
Isn’t there an expert on divine power just by chance?
Chloe turned around and called Ethan.
“Priest, wait a minute! Traces of divine power have been found here, can you confirm?”
