CH 106

: Siegfried (2)

Earl Wellton had several thoughts when he first said that Siegfried had visited the mansion.

Most of them were negative thoughts.

Once the purpose came.

This was obvious. Probably because of his son Jamie Welton.

You must be at least 8 years old to enter the magical realm. Don't accept it until then.

Jamie's talent became known in earnest when she was 7 years old.

Some wizards wanted to recruit him, but he couldn't because he was not 8 years old. If he had been of low rank, he would have taken him by all means, but the Earl of Wellton was behind Jamie.

I can't think of making Earl Welton an enemy unless I'm crazy. So I would have waited.

until the age of 8.

'But I didn't know the interest would come.'

Earl Wellton looked at Siegfried with a smirk.

Even if I didn't want to know about him, I had to.

'The greatest genius before Jamie.'

Jamie entered class 6 at the age of seven.

It is truly a talent that transcends wonder.

Siegfried first entered the 6th class when he was 15. He was a bit late compared to Jamie, but actually, this doesn't make any sense.

About one in a thousand people in the world are born with the qualities of a wizard.

Not even half of them were magicians who achieved a level of 3 or higher, and not even a handful of those of 5 or higher.

From the 6th class onwards, the number was so rare that they were called high-ranking wizards.

However, at fifteen, even those called geniuses struggled in the 3rd and 4th classes at that age.

However, I entered the 6th class.

At that time, the kingdom as well as the world paid attention to him.

What was even more surprising was the identity of the boy who showed tremendous talent.

'slave.'

I heard that he was also a slave in a rather miserable condition.

I don't know the exact history of the past, but I heard that they were slaves from generation to generation. Then, by chance, he came across magic, and the sorcerer, who recognized his great talent, bought Siegfried and adopted him as a disciple.

And Siegfried showed off his tremendous talent and absorbed all knowledge like a sponge, and was called the world's greatest talent.

That was 15 years ago.

7 years after that. He proudly succeeded in entering the 7th class and took the title of the youngest archmage in his hand.

Siegfried, who turned 30 this year, was approaching the 8th class.

'A giant like that himself .'

That means the magic world is serious about recruiting Jamie.

The Count asked again.

"Tell me. For what purpose did you come?"

haha. I think you know everything."

Siegfried scratched the ball.

Of course, Earl Wellton would know without asking why he was there. His words now are similar to warnings, such as 'Speak with your own mouth'.

From Siegfried's point of view, it was impossible to say he didn't like it, so he immediately talked about his purpose.

"I wanted to welcome the best talent."

"Is that sarcastic?"

"Maybe!"

Siegfried shook his head at the sarcastic remark.

Would you ridicule his son in front of the Count for being crazy?

It may not be the case with the Count, but Siegfried was also a person whose life was precious.

I didn't mean to look hateful in front of the Sword Master, which is always mentioned when discussing the strongest of the kingdom.

'Even though it looks like you already hate it.'

From the fact that he belongs to the magic world, he already eats the minuses.

"As you know, Confucius Jamie is eight years old, hasn't he?"

so?

"I came here because I thought he was an essential talent for our magic world just?

"Without a message?"

Also, I thought I would send a letter before arrival.

'no. If I had sent it, I would have tore it up without even reading it.'

Looking at the count's attitude now, it was certain.

"I am sorry about that. Otherwise, I don't think I will accept it."

"I know you well."

" ."

It was blatant in the first place, but it's sad to see it openly like that.

"Ah, by the way, by the way, will you ever see Confucius Jamie?"

"What do you think I will say?"

"It's presumptuous, but I think the choice is not up to Confucius Jamie."

"If I knew I was off-topic, I wouldn't have done it."

Earl Wellton replied coldly.

Siegfried didn't smile, but he didn't avoid the Count's gaze.

The two men stared at each other without a word.

It was Earl Wellton who spoke first.

"But it's true that what you say is true."

The choice is up to Jamie.

Aside from disliked by the magical world, Jamie was willing to let him go if he wanted to.

but.

"It's true that the situation there is messy."

The magic world was currently divided into three factions.

A royal faction led by Offen Ginger, the first elder and the king's teacher.

An aristocratic group led by the second elder and great noble, Marquis Linmer.

Equality led by Luke Pretzel, 5 elder and commoner.

The three forces were currently in a tight tug of war, maintaining a tight balance.

The problem is that they do all sorts of dirty things to increase their power, and furthermore, to get their hands on the magic world.

The Count did not like the situation. Sending your son to such a place?

It's true that Jamie has matured a lot for her age, but will she be able to survive such a brutal political scene?

They may be taken advantage of because of their background and great talent.

'My influence hardly works in the magical world.'

Numerous royal families, nobles, and powers large and small were supporting the magic world.

It was not for nothing that the magic world of Seldam Kingdom was on par with the magic kingdom Klone.

Fortunately, there is Earl Simon, so stability is guaranteed to a certain extent, but even that is unsettling.

"I understand."

Siegfried scratched his chin and nodded.

Even if he thinks, there are only assholes in the magic world.

"But I survived. And it's free.

Siegfried was the only elder in the magical world to have no affiliation.

It wasn't that he was special.

"Do you know when I realized I had a talent?"

"Tell me."

"It's time to get an eldership."

twenty two. The age at which Siegfried was appointed the youngest elder in the magical world.

There was a lot of backlash, but in the end everyone had no choice but to acknowledge him. Archmage is like that.

Ordinary people want to make genius on their side. Especially on a board where the action of force is large, I try to get my hands on it somehow.

However, if it is a talent that is difficult to handle, it is a different story.

"They thought I looked like a monster."

Siegfried remembers that day.

When he established his magical subjectivity at the age of 22 and opened the door to the Archmage.

The first was his teacher.

The master was a 5th class master. I learned a lot from him, but at some point I didn't receive any instruction at all.

Rather, it began to be suppressed.

When he crossed the master's level, there were many enemies around him. He didn't do anything wrong, but everyone hated him.

When he reached class 7, no one hated him. I was just looking at it.

"The same elders looked at me with similar eyes. He treated me like an irregular."

Neither faction reached out to him.

Each had a cause.

The royalists or nobles did not fit in with Siegfried because they considered their origins.

It was funny. When it comes to being an archmage, your origin is meaningless.

Although Equality, which insists on equality, treated it favorably, it also did not want to take on the risk factor of Siegfried.

The faction that recruited Siegfried will surely be destroyed by the concentrated offensive of the two factions.

What they seek is to gain the upper hand in the tight tightrope and to stand at the top of the magic world.

Siegfried was a light apricot. It's a great power, but it's not enough to handle the two forces.

So leave it That was the conclusion of the three forces.

"Are you saying you've been ignored after all?"

"You are thinking too negatively about that."

Siegfried shook his head with a playful face.

"They were afraid of my talent."

"Well, that's fine. But, after hearing about it, does it make you want to send it off even more?"

The magic world is corrupt.

I'd rather not know if it's in the process of being purified, but it's decaying in the present progressive form.

Those who are obliged to develop magic for the future of the kingdom are struggling to take over the magic world.

"Tell me why my son should go to such a place."

"I say it frankly. To be honest, I don't even want to tell my children to go to the world of magic. But it is."

Siegfried, who had always kept a smile on his face, said sternly.

"There is an immeasurable level of knowledge in the magic world. In particular, the 'Coffin of Omniscience'... Well, something like that."

battery tube.

This is the crown that the first king of Seldam had.

In the early days of the kingdom, it was a property that symbolized the king, but as the magic world emerged, it became the core of the place.

In fact, it was even said that the reason the three forces that ruled the magic world wanted to take over it was to monopolize the coffin of the omniscience.

"When you become an Archmage, you only have one chance to use the Coffin of Battery."

Those who have never been crowned regret the fact that they only have one chance.

But if you've tried it, you don't need it twice.

"Opportunity to try the tube of the battery. I think that alone is reason enough to enter the magic world. Especially for an undisputed genius like Confucius Jamie."

" ."

Even Earl Wellton could not dispute this point.

"I'll ask Jamie."

"Because the will of Confucius is the most important."

* * *

master. Is there a strong human here?"

Bena the pink squirrel sitting on the iron rod said to Jamie, who was swinging the sword hard.

"It looks like a visitor has come from the magical realm."

"From the magical realm?"

"I heard from the servant, that it is Siegfried the seventh elder."

"Oh, I know him. Siegfried of space, right?"

right.

Everyone who said he learned some magic in the Kingdom of Seldam knew Siegfried.

Because Vena was a warlock, she had no choice but to know better.

Because if it was a wizard in the magic world, he was the enemy of the warlock. In particular, Siegfried was a very aggressive battle mage.

"A genius wizard who became an Archmage at a very young age!"

"I'm more of a genius."

"Do you really have to say that yourself?"

"Originally, you have to take care of yourself."

Jamie lowered her sword as she finished the last herbivore of the Welton Type 10.

"Whoa-"

"It's a lot cleaner than before."

"Do you know anything about swords?"

"He did it, not me."

Bena pouted her lips and flapped her scarf around her neck. It was Philion, her ego hammer.

[Certainly a nonsensical body.]

"Your body has lost its taste."

"Don't make up your own words."

"Hehehe."

Jamie shook his head and wiped the sweat with a towel.

"But are you here doing everything you need to do?"

" The weather is nice today.

[This child!]

The towel fluttered and covered Bena.

"Kuwak!"

The pink squirrel floundered in the towel and fell to the floor.

"Go up and do it again. Where are you smoking?"

"Pee-"

Bena walked out of the towel, and her cheeks were full.

Either way, Philion took Jamie's words and urged her.

[Hahaha! Nothing Jamie Wellton said is wrong! Hurry up, let's do more Nooooooooooooo!]

Noisy!

Bena screamed and disappeared somewhere.

I'll be smoking around the lake again.

By the way, how is the conversation between the Count and Siegfried going?

'It's been quite some time.'

I knew the story was going to be long, but as it got longer than I thought, the urge to eavesdrop came slowly.

That was then.

young master.

It was the servant who announced the news that Siegfried had arrived.

What's up?

"The Count is calling the Master."

Father?

The timing is amazing.

Jamie smiled and motioned for the attendant to guide him.

And Jamie, who arrived in the drawing room, said with a bewildered face.

"Battery's tube?

Yeah. The coffin of batteries."

Siegfried nodded and supplemented the explanation.

"It is a treasure trove of wisdom that contains all the knowledge of the world."

all the knowledge of the world.

The moment he heard that, Jamie answered without thinking a bit.

"I will go."

I don't know what kind of knowledge it contains,

'Maybe there is information about that day.'

Information on the lost history that is strictly controlled by the 12 gods.

Maybe you know a little bit about that piece.
