Offer a Tribute and Become an Archmage - Chapter 138



Only Noblemtl

Episode 138.

An ideal contained in magic.

The little epiphany it gave me was as strong as being struck by lightning.

‘What did I put into the magic?’

At first, it contained a purpose. It contained the purpose of wanting to defeat the enemy, to kill him. And then later, it contained strong emotions that matched the purpose.

‘more…’

Ronobe thought back to when he killed Cloud. At that time, Ronobe had clearly used magic while thinking of something he could not accomplish yet.

It is probably a wish of his own that he wishes to achieve in the distant future.

It was a clear ideal that Mick was talking about.

‘I wasn’t a wizard.’

The magic was not able to contain any ideals. That was something that was still uncertain to Ronobe.

He wasn’t a wizard yet. I was a bit skeptical, but I was really disappointed when I realized he wasn’t a wizard.

“What’s wrong? Your complexion doesn’t look so good.”

“Oh, no. That’s not true. I mean, putting ideals into magic…”

Ronobe trailed off.

Saying he didn’t know was an act of showing off his skills, and denying it was an act of insulting the great wizard who was Mick’s master.

At that time, I was wondering how to end the conversation.

Lirun opened his mouth.

“But you know what? What is this?”

The question mark killer has appeared.

Ronobe slowly averted his gaze.

So naturally, Lirun’s eyes were looking at Mick.

“You said Lirun? Are you curious about what’s going on?”

“Yeah. What’s wrong?”

more.

It’s near perfection at a high level.

Refers to a situation or characteristic that matches what you want.

Generally, a perfect situation. It can also mean a perfect relationship or situation happening at the same time. It means a dream relationship, or something you’ve been wanting to do.

Of course, Ronobe didn’t have the talent to explain this in words. It was quite difficult to explain the meaning of a word that he vaguely knew.

“Does Lirun have a wish?”

“wish?”

“Yes, So-won.”

Ronobé was impressed by Mick’s answer.

Who would have thought that the word ideal would be easily explained with the word wish!

“Yes, I will! I will revive Grandma and Dad with magic! I will revive Gaisha-sama too and show off the greatness of my magic!”

However, Mick and Ronobe were quite taken aback by Lirun’s answer.

‘I never thought you’d still have thoughts like that…’

I was quite surprised.

It seems that the word death is something that is difficult for Lirun to get over.

“I see. Then that is your ideal.”

“If I put an ideal into magic, will my wish come true?”

“That’s right.”

Mick smiled bitterly and patted Lirun’s head. After sending Lirun and Peter away, Ronob and Mick walked further into the forest.

“Children’s wishes sometimes surprise people.”

“That’s because there are so many people dying. Lirun looks bright, but the people around her keep dying… so it’ll be even worse.”

Goton, Bayna, and even Gaisha. There were many people who died one after another. It was only natural for Lirun to have such thoughts.

Because Lirun was still young.

“It’s a shame I didn’t hear Peter’s ideal. After hearing Lirun’s ideal, I became curious about Peter’s too.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

It was the same with Ronobedo.

What is Peter’s ideal?

No, what is your wish?

It’s just a shame that I can’t have a detailed conversation because I haven’t mastered the writing yet.

‘A wish…’

Ronobe thought vaguely.

wish.

What is your wish?

‘Why does ramen come to mind…’

It was a wish that was more vulgar than that of a seven-year-old. When I think of ramen, I think of jajangmyeon, and when I think of jajangmyeon, I think of tangsuyuk. Maybe I should walk a little.

I was already hungry.

‘If I break an egg into ramen and eat it with kimchi, I’ll get sick of it…’

As I continued to think about what to eat, Mick asked.

“What is Baron Jun’s wish?”

“What is your wish?”

“The ideal and the wish are a little different… but after hearing Rirun’s wish, I became a little curious. As for me, my wish is to defeat the dragon.”

I granted an outrageous wish.

Ronobe glanced at Mick with rude eyes, as if he was looking at a second-year middle schooler without realizing it.

“Your eyes look a little like that.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it.”

“No. I don’t know about the kingdom, but there are quite a few dragons in the empire. Someday, I will defeat them.”

Ronobe tilted his head.

Because he was talking as if dragons really existed.

“Do dragons exist?”

“Of course they exist. There are many dragons in the empire, and the knights who slay them are called knights, and their great achievements are said to be remembered for a long time. Even though I became a wizard, the dream of becoming a knight still remains in my heart.”

Mick continued to list his dreams, as if his heart was pounding just thinking about them.

Of course, Ronobe was surprised.

I don’t know how many times I was surprised today, but I couldn’t help it.

‘Is this what it means to be surprised by a pot lid, then surprised again by a growing heart?’

That’s what Ronobe did.

Once I was surprised, I was surprised again and again.

‘But there’s a dragon?!’

It was a world with magic and monsters, so I wondered if there might be dragons.

But there really is a dragon!

Ronobé’s heart raced without him knowing it.

‘Who am I?’

Dragon Wizard.

“Wow!”

“Why, why are you doing that?”

“Ah! No. Ahem.”

My heart races just thinking about it.

‘You start as a wizard, then catch a dragon and become a dragon wizard. After that, you become a dragon archmage…’

Just as ramen and the like came to mind, a dragon was added right away.

Isn’t that something like that?

Just as a person’s vessel becomes larger and more diverse as he experiences many things, Ronobe’s ideals and wishes also become larger in scale as he experiences many things.

It was a natural thing to say because I was human.

There is no newborn baby who starts running right after birth.

There is an order to everything.

“Then Sir Mick must have put the dragon slaying power into his magic.”

“Yes, the dragon is big. It’s not just about cutting down a tree… For example, I’m thinking about cutting off its wings.”

A dragon that can’t fly isn’t a dragon.

“Bend the dragon’s wings… How cool.”

“It’s not enough yet. Planting an ideal requires firm conviction and faith in oneself.”

It was cool.

It wasn’t just empty words, it was really cool.

Didn’t Mick have a firm ideal about his magic for the day he would meet a dragon?

“So, what is Baron Jun’s wish?”

“hmm…”

I never really thought about it.

What a wish.

‘I was a rich unemployed person when I was young.’

The vague wish really came true.

I wasn’t the type of person who wanted to do something passionately. I just wanted to eat delicious food and play games that I wanted to play. I wanted to become a PC room owner and play games to my heart’s content. Sometimes I wanted to open a comic book store and read comics to my heart’s content.

But was that really what you wanted?

It’s just something I vaguely wished for, but it’s not something I really hoped for. I’ve never even tried to do it.

In the first place, this is a thing of the past.

It couldn’t be any different now.

‘What is my wish?’

The only thing that came to mind was the Archmage.

To become a great wizard.

-You must become a great wizard or something.

Bores’ voice brushed past his ears. Ronobe opened his mouth as he gathered his thoughts.

“My wish is…”

*

After parting ways with Ronobe, Mick returned to his own quarters. He returned to his temporary residence, sat down, and pondered his conversation with him.

It was content that I couldn’t help but ponder over.

‘My wish is paradise.’

Paradise.

He wanted paradise. Not a paradise for everyone. It was just a wish that he and those around him could live in peace.

“You make people feel ashamed.”

Mick made a wish for the individual.

But the boy, who was much younger than him, valued his surroundings more than himself. As an adult, he was embarrassed by that and his face turned red.

“Paradise…”

The more I think about it, the more I realize it is a good wish.

What would happen if he were to incorporate his ideals into magic? Mick wondered, thinking about his future.

A boy who defeated a wizard at the age of only fifteen.

A wizard who can freely use various magics according to his taste. It was the privilege of adults to envision the future of a talented young man.

*

A week has passed.

Ronobe was doing well in Sist.

But I couldn’t just sit around and do nothing.

There was a mountain of work to be done.

Even if I just sit still, people around me keep calling me and causing all sorts of trouble, and a week passes by in the blink of an eye.

“Baron June! Listen to me! Why, this guy claims my goat as his own?!”

“I told you, this guy is my goat?!”

If you want a verdict from Ronobe while fighting over something trivial, you would bring it to him.

The work that would normally be done by the village chief ends up being done by Ronobe.

This was because he was a nobleman.

“Why me…”

“You are a nobleman. I believe you will make a more just judgment than the likes of us!”

“It’s cancer, it’s cancer!”

Clearly, an illiterate country boy had become an intellectual with just the title of nobleman. Well, I didn’t really hate it.

“Well, I will pass judgment!”

“Oh!”

“Just because of a single goat, my neighbors, whom I will see for the rest of my life, are blushing. I, Ronobe, cannot just sit by and watch this foolish thing! The goat that started this fight must be possessed by a demon! So I will take the goat!”

“…?”

“??”

“Okay, is that enough? Go away.”

“Oh, no…”

“Oh my! You dare not trust the noble’s judgment! Liam! Do you have any?”

Soon Liam appeared through the door, armed.

“Oh, no! How could I go against the judgment of the stern Baron?”

“Yes, yes… yes, yes.”

“Right? Then please step back.”

The two villagers forgot about their fight and left the goat. They will probably gather tonight, drink together, and curse Ronobe. In any case, it was a very happy decision for Ronobe since the fight was over.

“Take this guy to Billton. If you tell him I sent him, he’ll take care of it.”

“yes…”

Liam looked at Ronobé as if he was looking at a real devil’s cub, then took the goat and disappeared.

“That’s fine…”

The next step was to enchant the totem pole Timber had made. He had made a few recently and planted them in the ground where he was going to build a new farm, so it wouldn’t take much time. After making the totem in an instant, Ronobe looked at Mick who was approaching and pretended not to notice him before returning home.

No, I got caught trying to go back.

“Did you read anything today?”

“Ahem, I’m a little busy…”

“Is that so?”

Mick greeted Ronnobe with the same smile as before, but he felt it.

The pressure to read the book quickly!!

Ronobe ran away home, saying he was busy like a parrot even though he wasn’t busy at all.

“phew.”

On the table was a thick book that seemed out of place in this house.

Thick Ashwald’s Magic Theory.

‘If you hit the corner, someone will die.’

It was a book decorated with luxurious leather and iron. It looked like it could be used as a blunt weapon if swung, but it was also quite heavy, so it didn’t seem like it would be easy to kill a person.

Ronobe opened the book.

I still haven’t read a single word.

I couldn’t read it.

why?

Because I don’t know how to write.

“Well, I have to learn it.”

Honestly, this gave me another reason to learn how to write.

“hmm…”

Ronobe took a letter out of his bosom.

The seal of Gradas stamped on a luxurious envelope.

It was a letter from Elicia that Aekku had brought.

He used to deliver letters between the kingdom and the Sist. This guy was smarter than I thought, so I taught him a few times. It was also Elysia’s request.

If something happens, it’s faster to write a letter than to send a messenger.

The letter is written in beautiful handwriting that resembles Elysia’s.

Of course, Ronobe couldn’t even read this.

There is no more delay now.

writing.

Had to learn.

*

Venom’s house.

“You want to learn to write?”

“Do you know anyone?”

Ronobe went to find Venom.

“You, don’t you know how to write?”

“How can you know if you’ve never learned it?”

“You know about the song, right?”

“Kayobega knows how to write? How!?”

“Well, I guess I learned it from my father-in-law.”

Venom said, picking up a peanut and eating it.

It was completely someone else’s business. I don’t know if my children can read or write.

He was a really annoying guy.

‘Is this what father is like?’

It was a surprising fact.

“Why do you suddenly want to learn how to read? It’s so annoying. Since you’re a noble, it would be easy if you hired a butler or maid who can read.”

“Well… that’s good, but it’s a bit embarrassing. It’s embarrassing for a noble to not be able to read.”

“There are quite a few among the nobles who cannot read. Of course, they are among the lower nobles.”

Venom, who had been eating peanuts, gulped down some wine and said:

“Well, can you teach me?”

“Do you know what your father wrote?”

“embrace.”

“Don’t joke around. How does my father know how to write?”

“This kid is just going to let you know. What on earth does he know about his father?”

“The lower class.”

Bam!

Suddenly, a fist was swung.

But Ronobe dodged it easily.

It was worth it to jump into dangerous positions and fight in various battles. Venom’s punches were now so slow that they made Ronobe yawn.

“Ugh.”

“Are you in a lot of pain?”

“Carelessness costs you your life!”

Venom, who had hit the wall, swung his fist at Ronobe again. But it was no use. Since this wasn’t the first or second time he had been hit, Ronobe tripped and knocked his father down.

“Ugh!”

“It’s slow, even falling down.”

Lonobe sat on Venom’s back, who had fallen over, and grabbed both of his arms to restrain him.

“So you really know how to write?”

“I know! So let go of it!”

“How on earth do you know how to write? Father, you’re not a fallen noble or anything, are you? You’re too barbaric to be called that.”

“I learned this when I worked as a mercenary for a while. If you don’t know how to read and write, you’re a perfect candidate for being scammed! If you know how, then let this go!”

mercenary.

Come to think of it, I think I worked as a porter.

I don’t know where he learned to write on the topic of porters, but he wasn’t bad.

‘I have to learn how to write.’

It’s good to know the magic theory of the great wizard, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t know it. Because Ronobe has gods.

But it’s not Elysia’s letter.

It could be a letter informing of some dangerous situation. So, you have no choice but to learn how to write.

“You don’t have anything to do these days anyway, right? Please tell me about that article.”

Venom also automates the farm work by paying workers anyway. He usually just looks at the ledger and plays around. That’s why both of his wives got pregnant.

He’s a dirty guy.

“Is that the attitude of a person asking for something?”

“You dared to hit a noble. If you don’t want to get busted for assaulting a noble, cooperate when I say nice things.”

“Damn it. This is what they call a son!”

“I don’t think that’s something my father should say.”

It was a bipolar disorder.

Anyway, from that day on, Ronobe started learning from Venom.

“What is this?”

“Magical Theory. You should read this.”

“hmm…”

Venom opened Ashwald’s book.

He read the book with his eyes slightly open for a moment, then quickly closed it.

“Son.”

“why.”

“I think I forgot what I wrote.”

“…? Don’t be ridiculous. Seriously.”

Even Venom, who knew how to write, could not properly read Ashwald’s magical theory.

“No, I can read it. But I can’t understand it. I don’t know what it’s saying.”

He said that he couldn’t even read them properly because they were words he had never seen before.

‘What a horrible book this is…’

Ronobe became afraid of books.
