Episode 151
Family Lineage Magic Book Remegeton.
Of course, Remegeton is an item that is uniquely treated among the many treasures our family possesses.
As if to prove its special treatment, Remegeton is kept in the most important part of the mansion.
“The Prophet’s Library”.
The only library in the mansion, as well as the family treasure house where all kinds of precious magic books and history books are kept.
Only the direct line of Walpurgis can enter the Prophet’s Library.
In short, father and me.
Of course, those who guard the entrance to the library are also composed of carefully selected knights.
Talented people who will only fulfill their responsibilities without being greedy for the treasures in the library.
“…young master?”
Upon arriving at the entrance to the library, the two knights standing in front of the huge door tilted their heads.
“When did you come back? I haven’t heard anything else… …”
“That’s it. Honestly, you’ve been wandering around too long, haven’t you?”
“Um, that’s right.”
The knights accepted my words with trepidation.
I remember the names of those knights.
Joab Abiathar.
Both of them are knights with strong mentality and upright hearts, and they are talented people who will be treated as precious even if they go to a decent territory.
Joab said.
“But what are you doing here? Just in case, this is the ‘Prophet’s library’.”
“Because I came to find out. open the door.”
“Uh um….”
Joab looked at me with a subtle expression and continued.
“You’re going into the library?”
“I told you. to go in As a direct descendant of Walpurgis, I should have access to the library.”
After thinking for a while, Joab said with a determined expression.
“Please ask His Excellency for permission. No matter how direct you are, you can’t just let the young master go. That’s the rule.”
“…rule?”
What are these guys saying now?
The rule itself is that I am a direct descendant of my family.
No matter how talented these two are within the family, there is no authority to stop me.
[I heard you were a nerd just a few years ago. Isn’t that why I don’t trust you?]
At Set’s words, I peeked at the two.
It’s not as distrustful and hateful as before, but it’s still an expression of unreliability.
– You said you got better, why are you like this?
roughly like this?
‘Well, it’s not like I didn’t show anything within the family.’
Immediately after the successful regression, I moved quickly.
However, there were no immediate family matters to be dealt with, except for the engagement between Viscount Nostra and the Duke of Lindell, so there was no direct change that the vassals could feel.
Aren’t they the ones who have been watching me for that long time?
It is natural that it is not realistic even if the nerd suddenly changes and is increasing his reputation.
– No, Bocchan suddenly?!
-We’ve been looking at you the wrong way until now! Ah, I will serve you from now on!
Unfortunately, there is no such positive attitude shift.
“It’s not just magic books inside this library. You should know that there is also a ‘Bloodline Magic Book’ that only His Excellency can read.”
“You know that.”
Joab’s words are right.
From his point of view, the ‘Cheongdeok-gureogi’, who had never heard of it, suddenly said that he would go into the library.
The two can guard the library, but cannot enter it.
Of course you will be anxious.
No matter what I do inside, the two of them won’t know, and they won’t be able to stop it.
but.
“But you don’t think I came here simply as ‘Walpurgis’, do you?”
so what do you say
Even so, ‘Okay, I’ll try to make you believe in me!’ You can’t even say the same thing.
I took out the ‘mark’ I received from the emperor to the two of them.
“Heh heap!”
Both of their faces turned pale.
Of course, there is no way you don’t know what this sign means.
As a knight belonging to the Empire, it is absolutely ridiculous that you do not know what the ‘Emperor’s Mark’ is.
But I had no intention of ending it.
“Is this enough?”
“Uh uh…?!”
Seeing what I took out one after another, the two’s expressions turned white now.
It was the symbol of a warrior.
“Do youngster, this is…“
Isn’t it a position where a warrior can stab and get money?”
I just said that and looked at the two quietly.
It’s a matter of course, but these two have no authority to stop me in the first place.
Even if there was, there was no way I could force my will in this situation.
If you block me now, it means challenging the authority of the emperor and the church.
Either way these aren’t names they can afford.
“Can you handle standing in my way now? I’m just trying to get into the family library.”
“…no.”
“I have no intention of saying that the Lords are presumptuous. In the first place, it is the duty of the Lords to do this.”
I saw both in turn.
“Even if that’s the case, it’s about this, isn’t it a little something to block my way?”
At my words, the two exchanged glances.
Then, no one said anything first, bowing their heads to me.
“I’m sorry, Bocchan.”
“…sorry.”
I looked at the two of them and nodded.
“I told you. I have no intention of blaming the Lords.”
okay.
It’s a problem that can be easily overcome if you think that these two will suffer from the things I’m going to do in the future.
“Then open the door.”
The two opened the door slowly, still unable to hide their uneasy eyes.
kugung.
The door to the library opened.
Joab, who was rolling his eyes here and there, spoke cautiously.
“There…Bocchan, but can’t you go into the real heart? Only His Excellency… …”
“Don’t worry.”
“…Yes please.”
Of course I’ll go in, but that’s okay.
In the first place, there was no problem with me entering the library as a direct descendant.
These two are not to be blamed.
My father tends to separate the responsibilities very clearly.
If they took my two legs, they took them, but there is nothing they can do about them.
“Okay, let’s go.”
The inside of the library was revealed.
Dozens and hundreds of bookshelves lined up in precise rows and rows first filled my sight.
The scenery is truly spectacular.
Finally, the ‘Prophet’s Library’ appeared in front of me.
* * *
The library was too huge to be a place that was allowed only for the two of them.
At the same time, numerous historic sites are tightly packed.
Among these books, there are a lot of magic books that would make the mansion ridiculous even if you sold just one.
It was such a spectacle that it was a pity that no one else could see it.
[Come to think of it, how old is your family’s history?]
“I don’t know. If you think about the history of the family itself, it’s just a decent family.”
[Hmm….]
“But ‘Sijo’ is different.”
[…] …Um?]
I recalled the information about the ancestor of our family.
First Marquis of Walpurgis.
There is surprisingly little information about Sijo.
I know that he was a great mage of the great 9th circle, and he did a lot to lay the foundation for a great family, but… ….
what exactly did you do
Little is known about who the 9th Circle was and what they did before they appeared in front of everyone as the Great Mage.
[It’s really a riddle.]
“That’s right.”
So that’s what I’m trying to find out now.
It would be good to know as much as you can for future plans.
As a bonus, acquiring Remegeton’s knowledge is also necessary.
how long did it take
The long library line was also coming to an end.
And at the end of it, there is the ‘deep part’.
「The Darkroom of the Prophet」
This is the place where Remegeton is stored.
There are dozens of barriers that can be seen immediately, as if the family’s greatest treasure was not stored for nothing.
There are dozens of ‘things you can see’.
That’s not all.
The ‘invisible barrier’ connected to the entire library of this prophet is also enormous.
[…] …Whoa.]
Set opened his mouth wide.
[What kind of barrier is covered like this? It’s not quite that much, it would take a long time even if the real great mage came.]
“I guess so.”
In the first place, these are not barriers created overnight.
The result of reinforcing and painting over generations.
Of course it can’t be easy.
[How are you going to demolish this? Honestly, don’t you think those four can stop your father for a long time?]
“Of course, I calculated everything.”
Clearly, there are many barriers and the level is high.
Based on the current magic system, it would be safe to say that it would be impossible to remove these countless barriers at once.
but.
“That’s also something like that with people who are ‘unrelated’ at all.”
[…] …Um?]
Basically, all of these barriers are made to react in line with blood.
In other words, the direct line of Walpurgis has the ‘possibility’ of passing through this barrier one day.
In the case of an outsider, there is no possibility of passing or resolving this barrier.
However, as long as I have the blood of Walpurgis, I will have the means to resolve this barrier.
“Then where?”
The number of barriers is enormous, but they all have one thing in common: they are all related to Walpurgis’ blood.
‘It’s still complicated, though.’
Where is the possibility not 0%?
I have experience interpreting and dismantling magic in situations even more desperate than this.
‘It’s okay if we have something in common.’
I roughly skimmed the barriers.
Should we call them the ancestors?
Attack Defense Erosion Reversal….
All kinds of magic melted into the barrier.
If you ignore it and just try to pass through, you will literally be left without even a trace.
“Is this like competing with the ancestors with barrier magic?”
As expected, it was impossible to dismiss the alarm.
It is a certainty that the father senses the fact the moment he touches the barrier.
If you give up a few things, the demolition difficulty drops considerably.
‘You’ll need quite a bit of blood.’
I immediately took out the dagger from my bosom and cut my hand. At the same time, draw a spell on the bursting blood.
Tuuk.
Drops of blood floated in the air.
[…] …Blood magic?]
“It’s similar.”
The drops of blood that floated in the air gradually spread thinly and began to blend into every nook and cranny of the barrier.
It’s not just a drop of blood.
The blood I just spread has magic stored in advance.
The important thing is how effectively the barrier is neutralized.
Paperweight!
At that moment, the magic circles that matched each other like gears in the air began to overload.
‘It’s enough to incapacitate it for a moment. There is no need to destroy it at all.’
Various types of lightning strike and the magic circles start to overheat.
and for a moment.
[uh…?]
The light in the area has completely disappeared.
black darkness.
The dens that were around until just now had disappeared without a trace.
“Is it like this?”
The barrier has not yet been completely demolished.
That means that this phenomenon itself is one of the barrier’s repulsive effects.
[What are you going to do? I think I touched something wrong… ….]
“No, not that.”
I looked around.
I can’t see anything. At that moment, I took two steps.
OK.
Kwajik!
The place where I was standing just before was swallowed up by ‘something’.
Predation of Walpurgis.
It is one of the family reader magic.
I remember the reader’s magic passed down from my ancestors because it was a necessary education for the successor.
That wasn’t the end.
Every time he took a step, threatening reader magic was activated.
[Are you calculating everything and walking? Did you notice what was coming from where?]
“Of course.”
It’s not like I can see the road I have to walk right now.
But ‘intuition’ is important.
In this situation, the intuition that has been honed and polished throughout life is much more useful than the knowledge in the head.
three steps to the right.
The next five steps.
Here… …turn to the left
In that way, he avoided the barriers of his ancestors and moved forward.
and it won’t be long
“hmm.”
As I took the last few steps, I frowned.
As a result of breaking through several barriers, it seemed clear that this would be the last time.
the problem is.
“father.”
Of course, the barrier does not answer.
What I see now is just the barrier my father made.
But the atmosphere was the same.
How could I, as a son, fail to notice it?
– You can’t pass!
It was a barrier that reminded me of my father, who was holding on with his arms crossed with a feeling of roughly that.
but.
“Isn’t it rather disgraceful to be a son worse than his father?”
He smiled and stretched out his hand.
Last minute blood magic.
Drops of blood spread in the air and slowly began to clear the darkness.
Huung.
Soon, the darkness completely lifted and the space beyond the barrier finally appeared in front of me.
“Hmm.”
When the darkness lifted, what appeared in front of me was a table placed in a neatly decorated interior.
and.
“You are not Aidan.”
A man sitting cross-legged in front of the table.
He had the same blonde hair and red eyes as me.
If there is a difference, unlike me, it is that the long hair that comes to the waist is tied up.
“but.”
Could it be that a magic book about the size of Lemegeton is a normal book?
“It is you.”
“If what you think is about my ‘essence’, then you are right.”
He said with eyes devoid of any emotion.
“Some might call me history, some might call me magic.”
“I guess so.”
“But the most general definition would be something like this.”
he spoke slowly.
“I am < Lemegeton >.”
* * *
“…hmm?”
At that time, the Marquis of Walpurgis, who was quietly doing his job, frowned.
I felt something out of place.
discomfort.
The sense of incongruity felt by the great mage of the 8th circle, not by anyone else, is different.
It would be nice to see that something must have happened.
And soon he could realize the identity of the sense of incongruity.
To be precise, I realized it right away, but I couldn’t think of it because I didn’t have a sense of reality.
“…Remegeton?”
no it can’t be
There must be an idiot breaking into that magic book, nothing else… …
“for a moment.”
there is.
I approached something about the size of Lemegeton, but the fact that there has not been a fuss so far means that it is related.
that it is
“this person…“
Quaaaaaa!
A huge amount of mana started gushing from the body of the Marquis.
At the same time, the mana that reacted to his emotions raged and devastated the office.
Kwaaaang
“Wow waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”
“His Excellency the Marquis is angry!”
“What kind of madman is that?!”
Of course, it was a set procedure for the vassals to tremble in fear at the wrath of the marquis.
“You son of a bitch!”
The Marquis roared.
He immediately took out the bright red club he had kept under the table. No, he was a staff member.
It’s dyed red and looks like a club, but it looks like a blunt weapon, but it’s definitely a great staff!
Wow!
“Crush!”
A bright red light burst from the marquis’ eyes.
“< Teleport >!”
Immediately after taking care of the staff, the Marquis disappeared from the office.
The great mage of the 8th circle moved.
This time, with the determination to get the two of my damn son’s leg clubs as a gift.
Great mage who transcends by regression
