Episode 33
descent
“me… “Why are you sparing me?”
“I need at least one person to stay and go back so I can convey my message properly.”
Isabelle glared at Cheongrang, who was kneeling and her eyes were shaking.
Cheongnang was the only one left among the raiders.
He was the one who specifically asked Elric to save one person.
This moment.
Isabel was overcome with strange emotions.
‘These people. ‘I knew you would have eyes like this.’
Meanwhile, people in the family stayed away from her because she had no talent.
No matter how polite you are, you only have to be polite because you are the ‘master’s daughter.’ She always kept her distance.
In particular, people on my uncle’s side often ignored such manners, and Cheongrang sometimes gave me a creepy look.
I knew very well that it was all an attitude born of ignorance.
But for the first time, they showed different emotions.
The emotions reflected in their eyes were something she knew well.
‘me… ‘I’m afraid.’
Gasol and even people on the outside were quite similar to the way he looked when he met his father.
Of course, he knew very well that the fear was not directed at him, but at Elric standing behind him.
Still, this moment of criticism was hers.
So that’s what I thought.
‘I want to make it mine.’
The desire for power was tickling my heart.
“jeon… What if you say the moon?”
“Go and tell your uncle. “There is no more business with my uncle.”
But in order to have power, you must first change your attitude.
I decided to throw away the complacent thought that I should at least save my own people by handing the crown to Paul Weil.
Even though he knew that he was returning to the imperial capital, the moment he tried to cut off his remaining limbs, all possibilities of dealing with his uncle had already disappeared.
“That means… ?”
“No matter how hard your uncle tries, the position of Blue Lion will never go to you, that’s what I’m saying.”
Isabel decided to wear the crown herself somehow.
To achieve that, there were so many paths to take.
I didn’t really think about it too much right now.
“… All right.”
Cheongrang didn’t bother to ask about it.
I just want to get out of here right now. The report that Isabel had bared her teeth at her lord had to be posted somehow.
“for a moment.”
So I quickly stood up and tried to run away, but Elric suddenly called me and stopped me.
Cheongrang turns around, her spine trembling, wondering if he might be acting on a whim.
Woe!
The moment our eyes met, my vision was greatly shaken. I felt nauseous, as if I was suffering from motion sickness.
“no. “Go.”
Cheongrang was worried that Elric would change his words again, so he quickly left the place.
Isabelle looked at this with wide eyes and asked Elric.
“What did you do?”
Elric answered with a grin.
“It’s a curse.”
“what… ?”
“That guy, like other guys, has poison stuck in his heart. “He’s asleep now.”
“… ?”
“After I report everything I saw and heard here, the poison dog wakes up. “Blah blah blah!”
“… !”
Elric clapped loudly at the part where he said ‘boom’ and laughed coldly.
“If you’re going to warn me, you have to do it right, right?”
“ah.”
Beside me, Mephisto burst into laughter.
『Puhaha! As expected, the rear end looks more like a Mervinger than a demon.』
Then, one corner of his mouth curled up.
『But is it really okay to do this? You said you wouldn’t get too involved? If you do that, those guys will come looking for you with a knife in their mouth.』
Elric had heard from Isabel that the person threatening her was her uncle, Foul Vile.
[They will try to find me anyway.]
『Why do you think that?』
[While helping Isabel, you killed close to fifty people who were called Blue Langs or something, right? If it becomes known that you were assaulted by one person, you will feel embarrassed… .]
『Is there a ‘wizard’ who knows the secret?』
[It is the nature of lions to never want their secrets to be discovered by the Magic Tower.]
Because shame can soon become a weakness.
That’s how bad the relationship between the Lion House and the Magic Tower was.
Enough to be considered a potential enemy.

[Plus, my magic… It’s unusual and very unique, right? Anyway, if I go to the Imperial Capital and overturn the academy, no matter how much I hide my identity, it will soon be revealed that it is me.]
There are not many wizards who specialize in ice magic.
『So you’re going to get caught right away, so you’re trying to escalate the situation?』
[yes.]
If you are in a situation where you have no choice but to turn back with Foul Weil, you have no choice but to take full advantage of the situation.
[A picture of the resurrected Mervinger holding hands with a blue lion. It’s okay, right? Fortunately, the blue lion was originally treated as a special breed in the Lion family. Mervinger was also a child given away by the Magic Tower.]
『You mean to build not only a brilliant spotlight, but also a solid position at once.』
I thought he was only talented in magic, but he also knows how to read where he stands.
For the first time, Mephisto liked Elric’s plan.
『But even if you don’t know much about the current human situation, isn’t the biggest part of the picture you are drawing possible only after that woman has increased her weight level?』
[It’s simple.]
Elric dismissed Mephisto’s question and looked back at Isabelle.
“Where do you plan to go now?”
“I’m thinking of going to Kanoi.”
It was a rural village quite far from the imperial capital.
“It looks like the blue lion is recuperating there.”
“yes. “I’m thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity to take care of my father for a while.”
Elric somehow felt that Isabel’s tone of voice was much more powerful than before.
“Are you trying to increase your strength?”
“There are many students who have benefited from my father. “I would like to ask them for help.”
Isabel had been trying to resolve the conflicts within the family.
It was because they thought it was for the family.
But that was a wrong idea.
In order to survive and win, I had to become strong.
The sword was never meant to be used for concealment.
“That’s a good idea. Even if it were Paul Vile, he wouldn’t dare touch the sacred site where the Blue Lion resides.”
“but… !”
Isabel was about to say something but stopped talking.
I wanted to say that if the main cause of the conflict, my father, was not treated, the fight would ultimately be lost.
Elric was an outsider.
And he was a wizard.
A wizard who can never get along with lions.
It was impossible to ask for help that far.
More than anything.
‘We have to part ways here.’
Although it was sudden, it was a farewell.
Thinking like that, I felt a strange tingling in my heart.
Why is this happening?
“Take it.”
I don’t know if I know Isabel’s thoughts.
Elric laughed lightly, then took something out of his arms and handed it to Isabelle.
It was a note written in very small letters.
“what is this?”
“It’s the blue lion’s cure.”
“… !”
“… !”
“W-what is that!”
Isabel wasn’t the only one who was startled.
The same went for the escorts standing behind her. In particular, Chen’s complexion turned pale.
“First, let me reveal my identity.”
Elric recovered the magic that was still on his face. Then the deformed face returned to its proper place.
“Uh, uh… ? you?”
Isabel and others looked at Elric in wonder. In particular, Isabel gaped at her familiar face, as if something about her was coming to mind.
“My name is Elric Mervinger. “This is Duke Chanseong, the head of the Mervinger family.”
“… !”
“… !”
“… !”
Chansung means a bright star.
A title given posthumously by the imperial family after his grandfather, Usden Mervinger, who was famous for the title of ‘Star Mage’, achieved a great victory in the Great Demon War.
Although it had no real power, it was a precious title with brilliant glory in its name alone.
However, even after receiving the dukedom, Elric could not bear to show it off because of the nickname ‘Shame’.
It was different from now on.
“new year… I heard you are in a coma at Hwangrip Magic Hospital… ?”
Isabelle asked with trembling eyes.
“yes. “That’s me.”
Elric nodded calmly.
“but… .”
Isabel was about to ask a question, but decided not to.
Because it is known that the only descendant of Mervinger that he knows clearly cannot use magic. However, the Elric in front of him was a wizard close to the level of a wizard.
It didn’t match at all, but it was impossible to take it out directly.
Fortunately, Elric didn’t think it was a big deal.
“There have been circumstances where I couldn’t talk about it. However, it is true that I suffered from arrhythmia not long ago.”
“Well, then?”
“It may be presumptuous, but I heard that the condition that Cheongsaja suffers from is very similar to arrhythmia. “If that’s true, this might help a little.”
“… !”
Isabelle then looked at the paper in her hand with trembling hands.
“We have also described the treatment method and precautions, so try following it and contact us if you see improvement.”
Elric didn’t necessarily tell me where to contact him.
It was an expression of confidence that no matter where he was, he would easily find out.
“this… girl… How should I repay the favor… .”
Isabelle’s voice trembled slightly.
“Of course, the recipe is not free.”
Isabelle laughed lightly.
I thought it was a joke thrown by Elric to change the mood.
The person who said it was sincere.
“thank you. “Thank you, I will use it well.”
Isabel bowed her head once more as she put the paper in her arms.
It never occurred to me that he might be fake.
Because sometimes you can tell a person’s sincerity just by looking into their eyes.
* * *
“Then I will contact you separately once I arrive in Kanoi.”
“I look forward to hearing from you.”
Elric and Isabel and the others immediately parted ways.
This was because the directions of the Ecliptic and Kanoi were completely different.
Isabelle looked at Elric with a look of lingering regret for a moment, but then, thinking that she had to hurry and get to her father, she drove the carriage and set off on her journey.
and.
『Looking at your ugly face, I guess you really like the pockets?』
Mephisto looked disapprovingly at Elric, who was fumbling around in the pocket that Isabel had left behind.
“Mephie. “Do you know what’s in this?”
“What?”
“It’s a gold coin. goldfinch! It is said that the Emperor of Estonia himself issued only a small quantity 200 years ago… !”
『I’m completely fed up with Noontaengi.』
Mephisto clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Of course, it wasn’t Elric who would listen to those words.
“Kya! It is said that the Blue Lion was originally a merchant and was the richest of the eight lions… Wow! I never thought that would be true. And there’s even a conversation going on.”
Then he raised his head.
“I have decided.”
“what?”
“I decided to suck on the straw that was stuck in the blue lion until it completely fell apart.”
Mephisto didn’t reply because he felt like he would end up on the same level if he responded to those words.
I just keep shaking my head.
Wizard who swallowed talent
