Offering a Tribute, Grand Wizard Episode 128.

What ran away [2]

It was very unpleasant.

It was extremely unpleasant to see the head of an unknown child embracing each other as if they were precious.

It is a product of Wizard’s magic that got him into trouble and ultimately helped cause Gaisha’s death, and killed and injured countless people on the battlefield. The sight of such a product shaking with a child as if it were precious…

“That’s unpleasant.”

It was unpleasant.

“Baron June. “This is me…”

“… Take the lead.”

“yes!”

Liam raised his shield.

Ronobe walked behind Liam and melted the hardened ice, and Benny advanced behind him, firing arrows at the protesters. Whether it is a child or something else, the power shown now is a miraculous power that is enough to kill a person.

Negligence leads to death. These three were fully aware of this through learning through war.

‘Even a stone thrown by a child can kill a person if hit incorrectly.’

I always had to keep this in mind.

However, contrary to expectations, the magic of the ground was no longer revealed. All that was there was a weak head and a child trembling in fear.

“I will handle it.”

Liam raised his sword.

At the tip of the sword was a child and a head.

Liam probably intends to kill them both.

That was right.

Excluding uncertain factors.

Isn’t there a need to save someone who could kill oneself? Liam’s judgment was appropriate, and Ronobe had no reason to sanction it.

However, Ronobe did not answer.

The reason was simple.

To be a medieval man, he was still obsessed with the illusion of the past, and to be a nobleman, he was still a hot boy.

‘He’s just a child.’

It’s just holding a severed head.

He was just a child.

Traces of assault visible through shabby and torn clothes. There are many signs of festering in the bruises and dirty wounds. There was a child with skeletal remains and a dead young body next to the child.

If you’ve lost the will to fight, wouldn’t it be good to at least listen to the story? It’s that head that is unpleasant, not the innocent child.

“you.”

Ronobe scratched the back of his head.

I didn’t know what to say.

Honestly, I’m not sure if the head used magic, or if that kid used magic through his head.

Ronobe pondered for a moment and then asked.

“You, that head… is it precious to you?”

I made eye contact with the child.

When I squatted down and made eye contact, the child was still a young boy. He looked to be about five to seven years old.

Ronobe’s eyes calmly sank.

‘All children look alike.’

For a moment, I remembered old times.

Ronobe took something out of her arms and handed it to her.

The child closed his eyes in fear, but soon opened his eyes when he smelled something good.

“It’s beef jerky. It tastes better than regular beef jerky. “My wife made it.”

The corners of Benny’s mouth slightly turned up.

The child continued to watch, then took the beef jerky and put it straight into his mouth. Seeing the way he was eating so hurriedly, he must have been starving for quite some time. Ronobe asked, handing her another piece of pemmican.

“The child is innocent. But not you. “I don’t know what the change of heart is, but if you want to save your child, you know what to do.”

It was said to the head.

The head didn’t move in the child’s arms and then responded as if it had given up.

“Young wizard. “Will you please listen to my story?”

“… Has he regained his senses?”

The head did not look as crazy as before, but rather had a rather serious look.

maybe…

“The guy’s control has faded. The further we got away from him, the more we started to come to our senses. I am the true owner of ‘earth-dyed leather.’ “It is the arc of the waves.”

Horoi of the waves.

It was the original owner of the head who was able to come to his senses only now that Cloud’s control had faded.

“Even if you didn’t come, my time is running out. “It was rotting.”

The side of the child’s head that was turned away from the child’s arms was rotting away. The more he escaped from Cloud’s magic, the more he maintained his sanity, but it seemed that the decay as a corpse also progressed.

That’s probably the end.

‘Even if I had left it alone, it would have died.’

This is information I didn’t know.

It was also useful news.

Other heads will be no different.

“Young wizard. No, Wizard of the Kingdom! “Please, won’t you take this child away…!”

“A child?”

“Didn’t you see it? “This child has the talent to carry on my magic.”

As expected, it appears that the magic from just now was used by the boy, not the head. He thought it was too late to think that he had lost his mind. I thought it was just because I was out of my mind or out of energy.

‘Have I become the one who carries on the succession?’

Ground leather.

A miracle that turns the ground into leather and is good for breaking the opponent’s formation or causing them to lose their balance. In addition, it is an excellent miracle for restraining an opponent or protecting oneself. If cultivated well, it is a miraculous power that can be used in many ways.

“It’s like this now… but I was once a famous person in the empire. I died without leaving anything behind because of him… but now I have at least one thing I can leave behind. “So, please… please show mercy.”

It means saving the child.

“Do you trust me?”

“At least, it’s better than that guy.”

I was talking about the cloud.

Ronobe shook his head. If you say it that way, it’s hard to deny it.

If the child had talent other than brains, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to raise him well and raise him to become a wizard who would be helpful to the territory.

“Peter, please.”

It seems the boy’s name is Peter.

head.

No, the wave Horoi spit out a small stone at the boy.

That was the earthhide grimoire.

“Peter. I had a great time meeting you. someday…”

“Ah, ah! Ugh!”

The boy gestured towards Horoi, who turned into dust, and then cried for a long time as he disappeared into a handful of dust.

“Baron June…”

“My disciple. “Anything else is okay.”

“… yes.”

Liam looked somewhat uneasy, but Ronobe didn’t care.

‘There’s nothing wrong with having a disciple who does all the research for the teacher.’

I’m still young.

Memories of the past are just memories.

The person who will build memories in the future will be Ronobe, not Horoi.

There was plenty of time, so there was nothing to worry about.

*

Ronobe gathered the villagers and asked them various questions about Peter.

Then I heard a surprising fact: Peter was a famous mute in the village.

“Are you saying you can’t speak? at all?”

“yes. “I say so.”

“Hmm… But how did you use the magic?”

Is that why you said you had talent?

Ronobe washed Peter, dressed him in appropriate clothes, and tied up his long hair. This kid had a face that was quite acceptable after being washed.

“When you grow up, you’ll make girls cry.”

“…?”

Ronobe ruffled the hair of Peter, who seemed to have no idea what was happening, and ordered him to use magic.

“Try it simply.”

“…”

Peter held the stone with one hand, spread his index finger with the other, and used magic. A square land surface arose. It was a bit thin, but a miracle is a miracle.

‘Are you using hand signs instinctively? I didn’t realize it when I only heard about it, but isn’t this really amazing?’

Activate a miracle with your finger.

Isn’t this a way to surprise or sneak attack an enemy without making any sound?

“What is the price?”

“…?”

“There’s something about having to offer something after using magic.”

“…”

Peter shook his head.

“No compensation?”

I nodded.

But that can’t be true.

Even if Ronobe doesn’t charge anything, all wizards pay at least one thing. Maybe he doesn’t know it now, but someday Peter will feel it himself.

‘Because compensation is not necessarily material.’

Gaisha paid two prices, one of which was aging. There was a high possibility that Peter was also unknowingly offering something in return inside his body.

I just don’t feel it right now.

As time passes, you will gradually feel it.

Since you become a wizard, there will be times when you overdo it and use magic.

“There’s no need to rush.”

I am still a child.

All you have to do is learn about yourself step by step.

‘Beast wizard…’

Even so, I wanted to test various things about beastmen and runes. Peter instinctively uses beast signs, and if he learns runes, wouldn’t he be able to study them and use them on his own?

Because Peter basically can’t speak.

I have no choice but to focus on the beast seal and runes.

“As your teacher, I will teach you good things.”

The beastman doesn’t know anything, but it’s different when it comes to runes.

“It’s a power that can be put to great use for you who can’t speak. “It’s rune magic.”

Ronobe wrote in Korean.

I have tried using it alone a few times, but in order to use magic with letters, it is important to include the meaning contained in the letters.

Jiyu is not just written as Jiyu. It’s possible if you’re skilled, but I felt that if I just wrote Jiyu, the effect, let alone the magic’s activation, would be greatly reduced.

So Ronobe does this.

[Magic that brings oil from the ground up to the ground. Jiyu.]

If you do this, the magic will be activated similarly to how it was originally used.

Of course, the principle is to write letters similar to the explanation in a circle and write Jiyu’s trigger letter in the center to activate it.

‘If you write down the time and activation principle here, it would be appropriate to use as a trap.’

[Magic that brings oil from the ground up to the ground, activated the moment someone steps on it or its shape is distorted, Jiyu.]

Although it was familiar to Ronobe, it was strange letters that were completely incomprehensible to people of this era.

“…!”

The same goes for Peter, who looks quite surprised.

“Do you understand Master’s greatness?”

“!!”

Nod your head quickly.

This rune magic is from an invisibility magic wizard who is currently imprisoned. This is the essence of rune magic that I learned as much as I could by torturing Gias.

Peter uses hand signs, so if we learn runes together, it will be of many uses.

‘Because I still can’t use runes properly.’

If you use a rune on the ground, it has a 50/50 chance of being used. Ronobe thought the reason was because it was used on dirt floors. Originally, rune magic was commonly used on parchment made from thinly stretched monster skin.

“Are you trying to follow along?”

“…”

Peter immediately took a stick and tried to imitate Ronobe.

But it soon got stuck.

I couldn’t do it because I didn’t know what the letters themselves meant.

“I guess you should learn the letters first. Let me tell you step by step. The greatness of Hunminjeongeum. “Don’t be too impatient.”

“!”

As I patted Peter’s shoulder, Liam came closer. Peter suddenly hid behind Ronobe. He seemed to remember Liam pointing a sword at him.

“I found out.”

“Okay, what did you say?”

“They said the village kids were a bit of a bully. “His parents died of illness a long time ago, and he had an older brother who died of starvation.”

“Right.”

Wherever you go, there are many poor people, and even in modern times, there are many people who starve to death.

It’s not a big deal.

Because this is that kind of place.

“Do you want to get revenge on those who bullied you?”

“…”

Peter shook his head.

“If you want to do it, build up your strength and do it. It’s right to do your own work. Don’t wish that on anyone. “Do it yourself.”

Ronobe, who saw Peter nodding, immediately got into the carriage.

“egg plant. Are there two in the future? “I think there will be a lot more fun things to do than you think.”

Soon Benny got on top. Ronobe said, looking down at Peter, who was standing still.

“What are you doing? “Come up.”

“…”

Peter looked back at his village.

The residents of Kerasi were gathered together.

Some people were afraid, while others were filled with envy.

It was a gaze I had never seen before.

The way they looked at themselves was always similar. These are people who frown, get angry and throw stones.

But not now.

That was just fascinating to Peter.

It was the nobility that made this possible.

These were things made by Ronobe.

‘teacher.’

The one who is now his teacher.

Peter held the shiny black stone in his hand tightly.

‘Horoi.’

Peter took a step forward, holding the now disappeared person in his heart.

There is no reason to be anxious.

Peter has lived in anxiety ever since he was born.

“…!!”

“The carriage is soft, isn’t it?”

“!!”

“Your master has such an amazing body that he carries a carriage like this~ This is it.”

Right now, I just wanted to feel this luck as it is. Because it is a courtesy to Horoi who brings good luck.

“Your teacher is so great that he says a wizard who can destroy a castle is called a wizard. Because I am that. know? You don’t know, right? Hey… don’t you know this? are you okay! “This teacher will tell you everything!”

“…!!”

The sight of the teacher suddenly spitting out thread from his mouth and creating a doll was a bit scary, but Peter endured it.

‘All wizards are like this.’

Horoi only moved his head around in the first place.

I wasn’t really surprised when he spewed some string out of his mouth. Regardless of whether the strange misunderstanding deepened or not, Ronobe was excited and put on a puppet show.
