Return of the Class 8 Mage
21. The dragon song (1)
The Book of the Songs of the Dragon (1)
As the night wore on, the dinner party was over and there was only silence left. No more parties, no more wine, no more laughter left there.
“Excellent, indeed.”
In the provincial castle, inside the crown prince's bedroom.
The crown prince recalled the previous events while drinking the wine of the northern region. He had thought about it over and over again, and the more he thought, the more interested he was.
‘How can the youngster be so strong?’
Is he interested in a spy witch?
No, he never cared about that.
But the fact is he won the duel against Cecelia.
It only caught the crown prince's attention.
“I think his talent is exaggerated.”
The crown prince also knew the meaning of being a 3rd class.
He heard that most magicians would not be able to master 2nd class.
However, one of them lost to a boy named Ian.
The crown prince wanted it.
‘Captain on my right, Boy on my left...’.
Oliver, who had already reached the level of a master swordsman.
Ian, who contained an unexpected potential within him.
What if the crown prince managed to make them loyal to him?
Wouldn't everyone crawl under his feet?
Including the unlucky princes in the separate palaces, even the arrogant witches from the ivory tower.
‘But how?’
He never moved or touched anyone in his life.
He never knew how to manage people.
‘One stays! Like my father.’
He saw my way many times.
Dad used to reward them for their services.
It won't be too difficult.
Nothing difficult about that, right?
“Captain.”
“What can I help.”
“That boy, bring him here.”
Oliver understood the intent of the crown prince.
He ordered another soldier to take Ian.
“I heard you were looking for me, Your Majesty.”
“Ah, you're coming. Welcome to.”
The crown prince greeted Ian with a hypocritical smile.
What a very opposite attitude compared to when I first met Ian.
He changed his attitude dramatically.
He doesn't seem to be ashamed of that.
“The reason I called you is…..Yes, I was moved by your courage. Isn't that spy one of the high-level magicians? But you managed to capture him alive, you made a huge reward. ”
“Thank you, Milord.”
The crown prince continued his words with more confidence.
It seemed like he thought to himself that he played the role of a powerful king very well.
“So. I'd like to give you a special gift. Is there any reward you want to receive? Money, gold or land, whatever your name is, I will listen and give you a gift.”
Ian barely stopped himself from sneering.
Did he follow his father?
He imitated it very badly.
“Well, I have nothing to ask her.”
Thas right.
There was nothing to ask the crown prince.
Perhaps the current emperor or ruler of the tower could fulfill his request.
This prince would only be able to give him money.
“Actually, I can ask for something.”
Suddenly, Ian thought of the right request.
Ian wasn't sure if the crown prince would allow it, but it was worth a try.
“Then...”.
“You can talk.”
“If you allow me to do so, I want to visit the ruins of the old ivory tower before going to the royal palace.”
“Old ivory tower ruins?”
Ruins of old ivory tower.
It was the ruins where the ivory tower used to be located a hundred years before.
Unlike the new ivory tower today, it is located very far from the royal palace.
It was an easy and small request for the crown prince.
A request he doesn't understand.
He wished Ian had asked for something about money or property.
But all he wanted was to visit the worthless ruins.
As he had expected, Ian was an innocent child.
Unlike the other princes who are young but still want the throne.
It wasn't on its way to the palace.
However, it was not too far from the original route.
“If that's what you want, I'll take it.”
At his command, Ian laughed in his mind.
It seemed like he would be able to get the item earlier than he thought.
Objects hidden under the ground are the ruins of old ivory towers.
‘Dragon songbook.’
The ancient book that Ian had discovered just a few years before Ian died in his previous life.
A very important book for researching time warping magic.
Even Ian could not understand everything, but he could only understand a little of his dragon language.
A single book that records its essence.
‘How many parts will I understand this time?’
It was a natural curiosity as a magician.
Ian felt his heart beating fast.
The tallest tower closest to Greenriver.
Ivory tower, magic center, information treasure house.
There, everyone was warned.
Every witch listed there received a test for mana inscription.
Not only the students of the academy, but also the ivory tower magicians.
It was a large-scale test due to the event in the northern region.
“Nothing was clearly revealed. We don't even know the meaning of the writing, do we? The masked man has not been arrested. So the only information we have is a young witness.
Including Habert, the Archmage of the ivory tower is there.
They immediately gathered at their council to discuss two serious topics.
“On the other hand, he devoted himself to ivory and imperial towers for a long time. He may be accused of being unfair, or trapped. Furthermore, the crown prince was there, right? You know how he doesn't like ivory tower.”
The most urgent is, of course, Cecelia.
In the ivory tower, one of them is suspected of being a spy of another country, or an enemy group. Furthermore, the spy was a grade-3 mage. In the worst-case scenario, confidence in the ivory tower would fall to the ground.
“Therefore, until the time we investigate this matter with our own hands, the ivory tower will ignore all suspicions against Cecelia. This is an order as the tower lord. ”
It was a typical reaction from the ivory tower.
It was a group that was always biased towards its members.
A group united with pride and a group of witches.
They are strong, but few.
They should gather as tightly as possible.
There were always traps and attacks on those with such strong strength.
In order to be safe from various attacks, moreover, to overwhelm others under their feet. That's the identity of the ivory tower.
“Dan, a witness of this event, which you may have heard.”
Suddenly, the witches opened their eyes wide.
Even for them, Ian was an interesting and mysterious man.
“How do we define its status.”
Perhaps, Ian's whereabouts will be more than just a topic of interest to some witches.
Ian is a hot topic in the ivory tower right now.
“According to the information we collected, this child's magical level is at least a master of class 2, maybe more than that.”
On Habert's claim, everyone started to make a fuss.
Since they had heard the rumors, they were expecting it.
However, the official confirmation from the tower lord contained a different level of confidence compared to the expectations of the individual.
Ian's skill level wasn't the only problem.
The fact that he was able to control magic that he had never learned was the biggest problem.
“Makanya, ivory tower will operate more qualified investigation.”
The investigation, to uncover everything about Ian.
The power of arch mage will be needed.
“Find out that; did he really never learn magic from others, was he really raised as a normal child, what kind of environment he used to be raised in, who his parents were. With all the power of the ivory tower, we will know everything. So, we need your help.”
When they agreed, everyone nodded.
If there is anything suspicious, they should find out everything.
They already have an example of Cecelia.
“However, if there are no problems after the investigation, which means if all suspicions on Ian Page are revealed are not true ..”
“Then we have to admit it.”
If it is revealed that he is truly born a genius, they must admit that little boy Ian has an unfathomable talent.
He is a genius whose talent can be compared to ‘The First Mage’.
“For we can make our future plans. Plans to grow a child, ‘First Witch’ second, as our ally, and as a loyal tool for ivory tower.”
The tower lord only mentioned ivory towers, not empires.
He did not refer to Ian as a member of the ivory tower, but he called him a loyal tool.
None of these mentions were mispronounced by the tower lord.
“We won't be able to control it just by giving her a gift and helping her. We need to build our own way, the only way ivory tower can do.”

The witches who attended the council nodded.
Luckily, Ian was young.
Even though he had strength, he should not have grown up.
For the ivory tower, they thought it was their advantage.
“We will be able to control such a youngster easily, right?”
