Return of the Class 8 Mage
95.

“Tell me the antidote. You know why I asked, right?”

(... That may sound like an excuse, but what happened to your Emperor was not my doing. The order wanted to make the 5th prince their puppet, and I saw the opportunity and gave them a way. Didn't I tell you? before that? You have to expand the order.)

There is still a lot to ask from Evantus, who considers humans as a tool to search for dragons. Like a grindstone, sharpening a knife, Evantus only helps tools to do their work as tools.

‘Thanks, Lagnar's only runaway root has vanished as well. This time, I will see finally.’

And the time is near to defame Lagnar. This was how Ian wanted to take revenge on him. ‘Death name’ is near.

“I am not here to say who is guilty and not.”

So, tell me the antidote.

Ian did not continue his words.

(I don't know.)

“…….You mean what?”

(I don't know the cure.)

“You know you can't lie now ....”.

(It's not a lie.)

Evantus.

(The flower was used by them in ancient times as a medicine. The leaves and stems are used as sleeping pills, the petals are dried in the sun and they will smoke. I remember them enjoying the unique fragrance of flowers.)

In other words, the leaves and stems have different effects than the petals. Come to think of it, the book of Redio has a similar story written in it. The blue leaves and stems are extremely poisonous, and the dark purple petals have the ability to neutralize mana.

‘It means Lagnar also uses its leaves as medicine.’

The leaves and stems are used as sleeping pills.

It was used to have one medicine to sleep, by the dragon. Do they even need an antidote?

(If you don't believe it, you can check it with the mantra of relatives.)

He asked to use a spell on it, just to prove it. It seems he's telling the truth. I was even surprised. The arrogant and hostile Evantus. He didn't even acknowledge Ian's power spell. And he changed, in no time.

(His children are at stake. Why should I lie?)

Evantus let his guard down as he said those words. It was a sign that Ian could use a relative's spell to check if he was telling the truth.

“Yeah, better safe than sorry.”

Ever since Ian returned from the time permit, he had not used any kin spells. The same when he saw the fairy queen and Evantus. And he has a good reason for that.

“Too many risks to be in danger.”

This would happen to Ian almost every time he entered the time permit. And if a relative's spell was lifted every time he entered, there would be problems. When used forcefully or without permission, as always, the danger will be great.

“I have to build a positive relationship with him.”

That opportunity now. Without force or trick. A reasonable time to use the mantra of relatives.

“I believe you, but this is also important to me, so I have to check it out. Is that okay with you? ”

(If you maintain your bargaining side.)

“Of course.”

Relative bound spell. The golden mana came from Ian wrapping up Evantus, and the spell was tied to both sides. The effect is the same as 100 days before.

“Do you really not know the antidote?”

(No.)

The answer remains the same. Now only 2 methods remain.

‘Dragon sleeping pills ...’

The first way is to go and ask the person who actually used the flower, by entering the time permit. But there's a problem. First of all, it's not certain. Do they even need sleeping pills?

“It won't happen.”

Sleep medicine is also present in the human world. It was so commonly found, you only needed to enter a shop belonging to a mere alchemist. But a drug that can cure the effects of sleeping pills? That's unheard of.

“It will not be useful.”

It was certain that the dragon did not need that. Also, the key to getting into the time permit, the five red dragon breaths were even more challenging to make now. He had to obtain a few more rare items and he only had a few Gargoyle eyes left. There's no guarantee that he'll make it out of there. What if he had to stay on the permit for another hundred days?

‘That would be a problem.’

The Emperor's life is at stake. Better to be safe and careful.

‘And the warning I heard during magic.’

Words that came out of the mouth of him who was probably the first witch, ‘Never believe in a dragon.’ It's in the back of the head. Maybe that was the reason, Ian hesitated to meet the dragon.

“Huh.”

First idea suspended. Then there's a second idea.

“Then, do you know how to get Landeor flowers?”

(It's not hard.)

Answer promises.

(The flower that humans call the Landeor Flower is a birth curse. The flower will definitely stay where the roots spread. But, through the fire of the holy breath, which is passed down by them can purify the curse on that plant.)

Ian felt futile with the exact answer given to him. How difficult was it for him to figure out how to gather the flowers and turn them into medicinal herbs over the past 6 years? From the Tusk documents to the collection of royal documents, there were no unseen scrolls. And there's not a single clue.

‘Is this the reason?’

The fire of the dragon is to lift the curse of birth. That seems like a phrase in a children's book. Since that was the answer, imagine how Ian would feel right now.

“I wish you could give me some flowers lifted from that curse.”

(It's not a difficult request. Follow me.)

Evantus slowly moved in pain. He led Ian to the nest wall.

“This is not a wall.”

It's not a wall. That's a secret passage. Since Ian still had some of the previous Mana‘ ’Metamorphosis magic left in his system, he could feel the movement of mana.

As Evantus stretched into the wall, he disappeared. The inside looked like a cave but there was a ball of lightning hovering around the area like a light spell.

(This nest is one of the newest nests I have found. I don't know who used this, but there were some of his items left behind. The flower is part of his collection.)

As they went deeper, a circular room, which looked like a storage room, appeared. How could anyone know? Unostentatious. All sorts of precious jewels were lying around the room like trash.

(The flower is in this box.)

An old wooden box. A sense of cold energy seeped out from him. He could also see the flowers piling up.

(Take as many as you like. You can take it all if you want.)

Ian held the box without hesitation. It shows he'll take it all. He would ask Ladio and Douglas to continue the study and prescribe the antidote. More is better.

‘Levels they should have increased rapidly.’

Douglas, who was in the senior year of the Alchemy Academy was ideal. He should have graduated 3 years ago, judging by his skills. Also, Ladio's skills are also outstanding. He was not a genius but a brilliant-minded alchemist. The boy had poured everything into alchemy for the past 6 years. He would have the skills of a royal alchemist.

Evantus changed in a day. The lives of his children are at stake. He could not afford to be proud in front of her.

“I hope you can take care of the order about today. Especially the 5th prince Lagnar should not be able to plan other things behind us. ”

Overn Parker will start making a fuss about it. Ian's intention was to make him quiet first.

(That's not a difficult request.)

“I'll count on you.”

Evantus. Then he carefully talked about what he really wanted.

(Now….. Tell me how to meet him.)

His face was beaming with hope.

“It's quite simple, really.”

Ian also gave her hope.

“Do you remember the potion I drank? The one who made me disappear?”

(I do.)

“You just need to drink it.”

(………?)

After a long thought, Evantus spoke.

(I have my doubts when you talk about my father, their leader, Rises Ladenge, but it is true.).

Evantus also detected something. What the dragons drank in the past, a potion that could only be completed with his own breath. Ian disappeared as soon as he drank it.

“I can not come directly, because there is an urgent matter. But, as soon as it's resolved, I'll make it for you. Of course, you have to help me, because I need a breath.”

Ian spoke with his usual tone of respect. Evantus.

(It's okay. I will wait.)

The trade was as successful as Ian had expected. Now, he had to make the antidote. Then save the Emperor's life at this time.

‘This must be done really wisely.’

So that Lagnar doesn't know. That's how he will enjoy the final.

‘This time..’.

This time he will complete his revenge. The opportunity is near.

***

The prince's exclusive library in the royal palace. The only sound that filled the place was the sound of the page being flipped. A voice muttered several parts of the page. It looks like a habit.

‘………’

It was the voice of Crowned Price, Haydn Greenriver. He looked at the book with a serious face. It was not like his usual self, but anyone close should have gotten used to it by now.

“Your Highness, the food ...”.

“Then.”

The Grand Master, Oliver, asked, but the prince immediately rejected the offer. It was because he could not finish the books that he decided to finish. Naturally, for example, the 5th prince of Lagnar would be able to finish it within 2 days. The Crown price cannot. He's been reading it for a year now. He felt his limits.

“You should go and eat. You don't need to be hungry because of me. This is command.”

“But, Sir.”

“It is a command.”

“Ya pack.”

Grand Master Oliver wants to say something. He quietly left the library.

“Mendesah.”

The Crown Prince sighed. But he still turned the page. He read it again and again. It's not just about studies. It's kind of solace, paradise.

‘Is it because I'm an idiot?’

For the past few months, the Crown Prince had this thought. This kind of shame, that's the first.

‘Did everyone leave me because I was stupid?’

The fact that his father was in bed due to illness, Ian disappeared, when he thought Ian would protect him for life, all this felt like because he was unworthy and stupid.

‘If I change, will he come back?’

If the Crown Prince himself changes. If he starts showing it. Is he coming back?

The health of his beloved father and Ian who left without news.

‘If I get better ....’.

The prince's shame deepened.

Wh-bang!

The library door was forced open as if it was about to break. That was Oliver.

“Great Teacher?”

Before the prince could figure out what was going on, the Grand Master attacked the Crown Prince.

“What..?”

“Please!”

As Oliver runs into the prince, he jumps over the table and the prince.

Bam-o!

At the same time, he took out his favorite sword ‘The MundAile’. Oliver's not after the Prince. He was chasing a suspicious light behind him. The white light is human-shaped.

“Who's there.”

Oliver gripped his sword as hard as he could. The silhouette of light was holding a staff and it was blocking Oliver's sword from attacking.

“Wah, it's a surprise.”

“……….?”

The person from the light had a familiar tone of voice. That voice was the voice of someone Oliver and Prince had long missed.

“You......?”

“Did you finally find a way to master the art of sensing Mana? It's like .. You're like a monster. ”

The light drew Oliver's sword. Immediately the light showed the full appearance of a human.

“Ian.....?”

The prince stood up. Ian Page, who he thought was long gone. The most wanted allies have returned.
