121 – The Flame of Origin

“We will start the first family meeting this year.”

With Ralph’s solemn voice, the family meeting of the Leoris family began.

“I heard the news. Angra Mainyu, they said they made a full-fledged move to the capital.”

The person who spoke the most was Klein Leoris, Ralph’s younger brother and the pillar of the family with the highest distribution after Ralph. Having held numerous key positions in the central political realm, and now holding the highest rank in the kingdom’s mage leadership, he was a man of power who could change the terrain of the kingdom’s magic world with a single word.

“You heard me right. Those hiding under the darkness, avoiding the light of the Church of the Sun, appeared. It was also at the truth library in District 1 of the royal road. Well, everyone knows about this.”

An evil monster has attacked the center of knowledge. For wizards, this meant a lot. In particular, for Klein Leoris, this was a challenge to the Kingdom’s Magic Corps.

“I also heard that you bravely faced them.”

“Right! I heard that your uncle even defeated a demon!? One of the six demons of Angra Mainyu! Akmana, the demon of wicked wisdom!”

Ralph’s nephew, Trevi Leoris, exclaimed with eyes full of envy. At that, a bitter smile appeared on Ralph’s lips.

The contents reported in the newspaper were as follows.

Ralph Leoris, the head of the Leoris family, Biblio Organ, the head of the Magic Department at the Academy, Jody Woods, the head of the Continental Horse Tower Council, Cindio Blicky, the continent’s best theoretical wizard, and Duchon Fayrun, the Archmage of the Listel Magic Tower.

These five warriors kicked out Angra Mainyu who raided the Truth Library and defeated Akmana, the demon they serve. The wicked intentions of the demons who raided the Truth Library were shattered by the wizards representing the continent.

It was a plausible story. It was a wonderful heroic story worthy of a children’s book. In addition, the main characters are the best genius wizards on the continent.

Worry that the evil beast has invaded the capital is overshadowed by the actions of righteous heroes. In fact, if you go out on the street now, there are full of voices praising the five heroes. Even embarrassingly.

Of course, if you are a member of the Church of the Sun who is directly hostile to Angra Mainyu, Daeven will notice. Even if the opponent was an incomplete advent, it would be absurd to kill a demon with that level of power.

However, the church did not comment on this report. It was natural. In the first place, the entity that concealed information in this way was the Church of the Sun. The reason, of course, is to prevent social chaos.

Originally, the intention was to wrap it up as if the church had stepped in directly, but since all the people on the scene knew that they had intervened after the incident was over, such a fabrication was impossible. So, the detour was the above heroic story.

The crowd was easily fooled by the cult’s white lies.

“I have to tell you that first.”

Ralph Leoris glanced around. The first thing he saw was his nephew’s eyes, which were rolling their eyes of envy toward him. He was a little sorry that he had to break the guy’s illusions. However, to become a good wizard, he must learn to face uncomfortable truths.

“I am not the one who defeated the devil. Rather, I and the other wizards there were in danger of dying completely. I can’t lay a hand on the devil.”

A giant octopus wearing a golden crown.

I still break out in a cold sweat when I think of Akmana’s body. That being, she was not a being that could be defeated even if she unleashed her full potential. No, even if the entire Leoris family attacked, I wondered if I could defeat that existence. That’s how much his magic was the power of a human being.

“What!? If it wasn’t for Uncle’s defeat…. Could it be the church!?”

“Sure…. When it comes to dealing with demons, priests of the Order are superior to wizards.”

From noble mtl dot com

“But then, why was the article reported that way?”

“Support the Leoris family?”

“Why does the church have to do that….”

Ralph’s shocking statement sparked speculation. It was the reaction Ralph expected. The church also expected this kind of reaction and hid the truth with a false story.

Ralph knocked on the table and silenced his audience before continuing. Yet, the truth is not over. It’s just the beginning.

“It wasn’t even the church that defeated the devil. They only intervened after it was all over.”

“If it’s not my older brother or the Church of the Sun, what the hell… ? Could it be that it’s even me!?”

“The devil’s infighting. I’d like that to happen if possible. But, that’s not it either.”

After denying his brother’s amusing imagination, Ralph calmly continued.

“It was a wizard who defeated the demon.”

Kik-!

With his words, the parlor door opened.

“It’s better to see it than to say it.”

Ralph’s gaze turned to the open door. Then the others in the drawing room turned their eyes to that direction. A man entered through the open door.

“This is him. The one who single-handedly defeated the devil and saved all the wizards in the Truth Library. Don’t introduce It is Mecca.”

A person wearing a ragged robe and a shabby mask entered the ‘Bridge of Ashes’ one after another. Like an opera star, each step is exaggerated.

“Wow. I heard there was a family meeting, but I didn’t expect so many people to come together. You are all beautiful. Boy, be envious.”

The man in the mask looked around him while touching his black hair.

He was a strange person with a playful atmosphere.

It gives off a feeling similar to the usual Ralph. He is somehow frivolous and has an aura of incomprehensible end. The pupils peeking out through the only pierced eyes of the mask are extremely inorganic.

“Was the author the wizard who defeated the demon?”

“Your uncle was saved by a wizard like that?”

“A mask in the parlor. A robe that didn’t even have a hat down….”

“Looking at your behavior, you don’t look like a noble, do you?”

In an instant, reviews about him come and go. Contrary to the strange atmosphere, the mana felt in his body is normal itself.

It was a power that no one, including Ralph, could overestimate.

Rovein didn’t care about such an evaluation. Rather he seemed to enjoy it.

“Mecca. Have a seat.”

Ralph stretched out his finger, and the chair across from him moved. It is a guest seat where you can face Ralph. This is the place where guests who receive the best treatment in the family sit. Even Ralph raised his words to his opponent.

There are only a few people on the continent who can be honored by the owner of the Leoris family. Only the king of a country can receive such treatment.

“Uncle! What does this mean?”

“Brother. I don’t understand either. So, older brother said that the author defeated the devil alone, is that what you are saying!?”

Ralph silently nodded at the flood of questions.

“I know everyone is confused. So, let me explain in detail. What happened at the truth library that day.”

—

Ralph’s explanation is over. About 30 minutes of explanation.

The contents were shocking and absurd. It was like a story scrawled by a stupid playwright who overuses Deus Ex Machina. No, it was worse than that.

The story was disorganized at all, and the storyline was poor. There was no foreshadowing of what happened, and the ending was also strange. To be honest, it sounded like a statement from a psychopath.

“……My father. I just can’t believe that word.”

“Could it be that Godot joke?”

“So, the author copied the ultimate magic that is believed to be the 10th circle used by demons…. Hey!”

There was even Gasol who regarded this series of situations as Ralph’s prank.

“You seemed to be weighing something out of place. Is this a surprise party? Well, since the king is not in a good mood, do you mean let’s talk among ourselves?”

“It’s so absurd that it’s not very interesting. I don’t know the family head’s gag code.”

At that situation, Mecha laughed.

It’s fun. It was very interesting to see the Gasols looking at Ralph and themselves alternately with puzzled expressions.

Ralph looked up at his wife, Selena, in a wool pair.

“Selena! Do you believe me?”

“Nothing.”

Selena smiles silently.

“It’s not like you’re talking nonsense for a day or two.”

“Hello~!”

In the end, the only people who believe in themselves are Sara and Viet, who were at the scene together.

Even the two of them weren’t here because they were dealing with young Gasol and a guest.

Mecha, who had been silent for a while in the situation that flowed like a series of comedies, opened her mouth.

“Ha ha ha. I never thought the Leoris family would have such a great sense of humor. Somehow, it feels like we are getting closer.”

“You. The clown hired by your uncle, right? I’m sorry, but I think you need to step aside. A real family meeting from now on… “

Perfect!

Mecha snapped her fingers. At that moment, the flame in the fireplace that had been burning for hundreds of years went out.

“……”

The flame that burns in the ‘fireside of ashes’ is a ‘cool flame’ created by Helen Leoris, the founder of the Leoris family, hundreds of years ago.

The family flame that no one could extinguish.

It was the symbol of the Leoris family, worth more than an heirloom.

By the way, that flame ended its life today. A man with snapped fingers.

A mecha slowly stood up from its seat.

I can’t be sure because I can’t see her face behind her mask, but she seems to be smiling.

He opened his mouth in the same voice as before.

“Do I still look like a clown?”
