CH 110

: Hearthstone City Saint-Dermain (2)

Siegfried was speechless.

The appearance of taking control of the space while surrendering to the flow of mana for the first time was inconsistent with the dwarf size of an 8-year-old boy.

I thought it could be there.

It's because he's a mature 6th class wizard, and he uses a mana breathing technique similar to that of the Marquis Linmer.

The saddest thing was what happened next.

'It was literally a magic swordsman.'

A single sword that runs smoothly and the lightning magic that comes from it.

Magic swordsmen are ambiguous.

They use magic while using weapons, but in reality they are all playing separately.

Those who only have a flashy appearance, and have no substance at all.

But what Jamie had just seen was different from those obscure things.

'I have already started putting mana into my sword.'

It wasn't the same concept as an auror.

Just as a wizard puts mana in a wand or a staff, he put mana in his sword and used it.

Even, unlike other wizards, who have to focus on casting, Jamie did not lose concentration even in a dynamic state.

And he treated the sword like a magic tool and showed off lightning.

How can you not lose your words?

'But the most surprising thing is... .'

merciless hands.

all killed

From the bandit captain who was crushed by mana to his subordinates, not one was left alive.

Earl Wellton was known for not committing pointless killings, but apparently not his son.

Of course, I had no intention of saying anything about that.

Siegfried liked Jamie's boldness even more. At least you won't be able to see him swaying in front of the enemy.

I don't know what will happen in the future, but if you look at the world situation, Jamie will also go to the front someday.

When that day comes, I need the same person I am now.

"How was it?"

Jamie put in the sword and asked leisurely.

okay. that look

An arrogant, yet never arrogant attitude without even the slightest doubt of his own abilities.

"Have your doubts gone away?"

"Have you never had any doubts?"

"Then I'm happy."

Jamie, who answered with a sarcastic smile, Siegfried shook his head as if he had lost.

"It was really great."

"Isn't that empty?"

haha. Because I am not the type of person who talks empty-handed."

"Then I will listen to it as a compliment and receive it with gratitude."

it's a crazy little boy

Still, I didn't hate it.

overflowing with talent. taking it for granted. Still, he does not waste his talent, but adds effort and refines it to perfection.

6th class at the age of 8. It wasn't comparable to magic, but his swordsmanship skills didn't match his age.

'I wonder what kind of monster it will be.'

I guarantee that in 10 years, there will be only one hand among humans who can face Jamie.

I want to say that it doesn't exist in my mind.

'There are those monsters .'

However, if 20 years pass, there will be no real rivals.

This could be predicted.

"Shall we go?"

"It is."

Previously.

As Siegfried tried to set off again, he scanned the corpses.

"Should I shave my hair?"

Jamie smirked at the words of the archmage who said with a smile.

* * *

The Kelton Mountains were dark.

The trees were sparsely growing, and the land was so devastated that it was difficult to find a single grass.

It is said that this place used to be a huge volcano long ago.

There were traces of lava flowing everywhere, and all the black rocks in the vicinity were sedimented and hardened for a long time due to volcanic clasts.

Stones that looked like they had been blown up when a volcano erupted were often seen.

"It's a volcano that caused damage of this magnitude How could it have disappeared overnight?"

The gigantic volcano that spewed out black clasts and hot magma, spitting fire non-stop, disappeared overnight.

Something like something out of a novel.

But it actually happened.

"It's a story about a thousand years ago."

Siegfried opened his mouth as he looked at the long stretch of the Kelton Mountains.

"It is said that a wizard appeared in this land."

what is written in the manuscript.

Thousands of years ago, even then, people lived here.

It was hard to believe.

It's not strange to have a village near a volcano, but it's a different story if it's near a large mountain that causes a tectonic shift.

This land was barren. Unlike now, lava always flowed, the air was so hot that it was difficult to breathe, and the temperature must have been unbearable for humans.

"Well, I don't know the details. I'm not really curious."

"Please keep talking."

"Anyway, it is said that the wizard was a great talent."

He wasn't even a human being.

The wizard, unable to infer his identity by covering his body, plunged into the yellow sulfur hell.

The place where the lava was boiling was a dangerous temperature that even a good wizard could not withstand.

That was when a full day had passed.

"According to records at the time, many people thought he must have died."

But he came back alive.

And the volcano disappeared.

Not a single drop of lava, but the huge crater was completely filled.

"The blunt mountain in the distance is said to be the site of the crater."

The top of a straight line that has been artificially cut by anyone looking at it.

Thousands of years have passed, but the great mountain range has maintained its shape without changing for only that much time.

"But shouldn't that be enough to be 9th class?"

"So you don't know if it's human or not."

No class 9 wizard has ever appeared among humans in history. Of course, there are wizards who are not recorded in history, but Siegfried did not know about it.

"The general consensus is that it might be an elf."

After dragons, elves are the most proficient in magic.

Archmage who reached class 9 among elves is rare, but it has a much greater potential than humans.

"They say it could be the dragon who played Yugi."

It might be.

Their magic would be more than enough to fill up a volcano.

"But there is one more interesting secret."

"Is it something that is not written in the ancient book?"

Yes.

Siegfried smiled and nodded.

"There was a monster inside the Great Volcano. And the wizard came here to kill that monster."

"Oh."

"It is strange when you think about it. No matter how active a volcano is, it never continues to spit out lava that way. It explodes at regular intervals. However, according to the records of the ancient books, the volcano continued to erupt and spewed out lava."

It was definitely strange.

If the terrain is constantly subject to tectonic fluctuations, this could be the case, but that was only happening in the uncountable distant past.

Even when Jamie was Diablo Volfir, such a cataclysmic shift had never occurred outside of the Great War.

Yes.

"So, the magic world accepts the secret as orthodoxy to some extent."

A wizard went into Daehwasan and killed or put to sleep the monster that was constantly erupting the volcano.

And here peace has come.

"Well, believe it or not, it doesn't matter to me. I heard that young children like this kind of story, so I tried it."

"You are so honest. Well, it's not that I hate things like this, but... ."

"Anyway, the place has been thriving quickly ever since."

It is still a desolate place, but the soil is fertile a little away from the original volcano.

The territories belonging to the Rock Union were also set up one by one in the fertile land.

"Except for Saint-Dermain."

In the distance, the magical city of Saint-Dermain could be seen.

A rocky estate located right next to the mountain range.

"Then shall we go quickly?"

Siegfried smiled quietly, snapped his fingers, and the two disappeared like lies.

* * *

Saint-Dermain was a strange city.

First, as the leader of the Rock Alliance, there was a huge coal mine right below the city.

Second, there were magic stones all over the street. The building was decorated with magic stones, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

They were all discarded, but it could not be denied that the atmosphere was like something out of a fairy tale book.

"It's a strange but beautiful place."

"It's a place worthy of a name."

A city covered with gemstones.

Jamie nodded at Siegfried's words.

"But where are we going? Shall we go to the inn first?"

"Before that, I have a place to stop by."

"Where did you say last time?"

Yeah. It's sold there. Perhaps.

"Maybe, does that mean it can't be sold?"

"Since it is not an easy item to obtain ."

I wondered what

Normally, I would have told you to go to the inn right away, but it's okay to postpone it until later.

'Is that right, Bena?'

-master I think I'm going to die.

'Hold on a little bit. I'm going to die curious.'

-Master doesn't actually die, but I'm actually going to die?

All of Bena's voices are dying.

Now she was in Gremia. Ahn of Gremia turned into a necklace hanging from Jamie's neck.

Even though Bena was that much smaller, it had its limits, so she was holding out in the narrowed Gremia.

'Isn't that better than being caught?'

It doesn't matter if you show Siegfried Bena, but you might notice that she has used transformation magic.

If you ever get caught and get into your parents' ears, things will get very complicated.

'I don't think the transformation magic will be found, but there's nothing good about being vigilant.'

The opponent is a genius archmage.

Besides, since we had a long journey to the magic world together, I was going to be as careful as possible.

'I will release you when you arrive at the inn, so be patient.'

- Yes.

It was when Jamie was giving Benna a little comfort.

"I consider it."

Ah.

Jamie looked up and down the building.

And he looked at Siegfried with a gaze that wondered if this was really the case.

"Are you very shabby?"

"Isn't it shabby?"

The store's tent, which also served as the roof, was droopy because it could not be torn, creating an eerie atmosphere.

The door is tattered, and the glass on the window sill is almost broken. There was so much dust that it made my eyes frown as if I didn't clean it at all.

And half way down the sign.

"Ars Magna."

so it was written

It was quite a meaningful name for a shabby shop name.

"Shall we go?"

Siegfried turned the doorknob, which seemed to crumble if touched.

And the unfolding scene-

Wow.

There was no reversal.

Jamie frowned and covered her nose.

A lot of dust came out.

Come on in.

Jamie replied to Siegfried's words covered in dust.

I do not like it ."

I hated going to such a dirty place more than dying.
