Return of the Class 8 Mage
34. person I should protect (1)
People I Should Protect (1)
The Ivory Tower Council is busy today.
Ian Page, Ian Page and Ian Page!
Today is no exception. Again, this is about Ian Page.
Several hours had passed between the Arch Mage.
“So it's true. All true! Furthermore, he had already managed to become a 4th class. He has reached the same level as all of us except you, Tower Lord.” said the middle-aged Arch Mage, ‘Ronan’, excitedly.
They knew Ian had incredible talent, but did not expect him to reach the same level as them. They are playing with fire right now.
“And are we trying to tame this monster? Shackle him? If we want, we have to start now. Before he gets old. As soon as possible, before he became a monster out of control! Academy, doing to other areas, it's all bullshit! ”
A duty given fairly to every witch.
Graduated the academy course, leading other areas for 5 years.
And Ronan suggested to let Ian be relieved of such a task, and it was better to let him stay with the Great Witches and try to make him stand on the side of the Ivory Tower.
Brainwashing or persuading, to tame Ian by any means necessary.
“We can't forgive ourselves for his age, can we?’
Not only Ronan, but most of the other Arch Mages thought that way.
Now, everyone was worried about Ian.
The unexplained power he possessed.
He has reached 4th grade.
And potential in him.
“Although you use inappropriate language, but what you say makes sense.”
The Tower Lord supported Ronan.
“Putting Ian Page into the academy is a waste of time. Instead, the other students would be trapped in inferiority. Even we, the Arch Mage, are very worried about him. Imagine what other students would think. ”
With his words, the Arch Mage nodded.
Unlike when they listened to Ronan's speech, they reacted differently to the Tower Master's speech.
Because rather than just admitting their fear or haste to Ian as Ronan says, the reason ‘ helps other beginner students' feelings’ makes them feel a lot more comfortable.
“As you probably already know, the best value we need to aim for is the Ivory Tower symbol. The more powerful witches we have, the higher our fame.”
‘Symbol’ Ivory Tower.
‘Truth’ Ivory Tower.
It was the source of the Ivory Tower's authority.
Tower Lord had never missed that point.
“So, how about making an official announcement about Ian? Announces that a new 4th class witch has appeared, and that she is now accepted as the 12th member of the Great Witch. But given Ian's age and talent, the board decided to apply a special course of study to Ian….. I think this will be good enough.
Basically, what he said had the same solution as Ronan did.
However, the reason for that was completely different.
It did not reveal fear and anxiety in the hearts of the board members.
Instead, it makes the council look like a generous member who has always supported their young witches ‘worth’.
Through this announcement, they will provide the right reasons, reasons and social forces.
“What do you think of my idea?”
The meeting lasted a few more moments before it was finished.
The announcement of the Ivory Tower was quickly made.
The appearance of the twelfth Arch Mage.
Furthermore, he broke the record of the youngest 4th class magician.
It has spread widely and quickly.
Not only for nobles, but also for the nobles and merchants who operated large enterprises.
“Greetings Sir! We are from Hybe merchant company. Our head office is located on the 8th street of the merchant area. The reason we came, was because our boss wanted to….. Ah, please accept our gift first.”
After the announcement, Ian's house was crowded.
Most of them were people who came from among the nobility or merchants.
“Bos we send you this gift. Don't feel any pressure on it, please. He just wants to show your gratitude. This is really good news for the empire, isn't it? ”
Nobles, merchants and people who recognized the new power.
They all gathered in front of the mansion, holding a bag or box in their hands.
What would be the reason?
“….. Hybe merchant company, right?”
“Yes that's right! Please come to 8th street mercha.
“Hybe merchant company, I will forward this name to him.”
“Thank you! Thank you!”
The social power of the Arch Mage was unimaginable.
As a rank, higher than ordinary nobles.
Ian arrived in the capital a few weeks ago.
He really is a new guy who is strong and fresh.
It was nice to withdraw to Ian.
“Mendesah...”
And that's Ledio's job.
He needs to greet every single one of them.
“But I can't understand it.”
Parade gifts from merchants and nobles.
It was a bribe rather than a gift.
He thought Ian wouldn't take it.
Because Ian is an honest and clean man? Not likely.
‘Didn't he already have enough money..?’.
This is the reason for Ledio's doubt.
That'sallthatis. Ian has enough money.
She's already received the best bag of jewelry. Unless he was obsessed with money, there was no reason to accept that risky bribe. He hoped Ian would reject him.
‘And he told me to accept everything. Why?’
Of course, no one dared to go against the Arch Mage for receiving this ‘gift’.
But still, it concerns Ledio.
“Is this Mr Ian Page's home?”
The endless waves of bribes.
Who is this time?
Ledio.
An old man, who looked like a servant of a house, stood there.
He looked familiar to Ledio.
“Where are you from?”
ask Ledio automatically.
He's getting used to it.
“Head of Parker house, Adan Parker sent me .....”
“H, Parker's home?”
Ledio shook his body.
Now he recognized the man.
“A very unfortunate coincidence.”
The witch who caused the mana addiction to Ledio.
he was the second son of the Parker family.
At the time, Ledio had a contract between Parker's home.
“There's something wrong about that?”
“T, no. You said Parker's house, right? ”
The man was Parker's housekeeper.
He doesn't recognize Ledio.
“Please leave a gift there.”
“Then, please introduce us well to Mr. Ian.”
If Ledio kept seeing her, the nightmare would be remembered again.
He sent her away in a hurry.
‘What a relief, Sir Ian support me.’
The more Ledio knows about Ian, the more terrifying Ian becomes.
In fact, he was a much more powerful man than he had imagined.
Ledio knew Ian's talent was extraordinary. However, he did not expect Ian to be awarded the title of Arch Mage right after he visited the Ivory Tower. Who would imagine?
‘Even Parker's house has the power of nobility and witches, they won't be able to hurt me.’
As Ledio thought, Parker's house has two major powers: Nobility and witch.
However, Ledio did not feel afraid of them.
Ian is not just an ordinary wizard. He is a 12-year-old Arch Mage. The title of Arch Mage himself already contained great power, let alone he had endless potential. And such a man supported Ledio. Even Parker's house can no longer threaten Ledio.
‘Seriously, how about he's a dragon?’
The childish image, the image that Douglas would have.
However, it was actually suitable for Ian. Even if one day Ian would say ‘I'm actually a dragon.’ Tedio wouldn't be surprised about it.
‘Ha, meaningless things what do I imagine?’
Shaking his head, Ledio looked at the next guest.
“Whataaaaa!”
He immediately stood with his mouth wide open.
He was shocked hundreds of times more than when he heard the name, Parker.
“C, c, crown prince..?”.
Ledio's voice was filled with shame.
“Crown Prince?”
“Your Highness, Crown Prince?”
Tedio shouted too loudly.
Everyone standing in front of the mansion looked back.
From a distance, people came.
It must be the crown prince.
“Welcome to our crown prince!”
With a shout of the soldier, everyone gave way and bowed. Except one man, Ledio.
“Please don't tell me I need to say hello.”
Ian is not home.
In addition, Vanessa went out to buy some materials with the waiter.
Only Ledio was in the mansion.
That drives him crazy.
‘Person ....’
He was not only a noble, but also the crown prince.
He can't stand still.
He quickly jumped up and he bowed to the crown prince.
“C, crown prince, Your Majesty! What brings you here?”
“Hm? You...?”
With curious eyes, he looked at Ledio.
He must have expected Ian to come out.
“I, I am the alchemist Mr. Ian...”.
“Ah ah! Now I remember. You're the waitress who came with Ian, aren't you? ”
Ledio was caught in serious trouble.
Should he correct what the crown prince said?
Or just admit what the crown prince said?
“I, that's right! I'm Page's housekeeper, Ledio. I appreciate that you remember this little guy! It will be an honor for my home!”
He chose the second option.
There is no benefit to pointing out mistakes.
Moreover, he was actually doing the servant business at the moment.
“Then where's Ian? I came here to show my gratitude to my sworn brother, Ian, for being awarded the title of Arch Mage. ”
The crown prince stressed the word, ‘brother swear’.
Let everyone there hear it.
“S, Mr. Ian is not in mansion.”
“Hah? Where did he go?”
“I don't know his exact destination, but he just told me that he was going out to buy something. He promised me to come back before dinner time.”.
He said whatever reason he could imagine.
He's desperate.
“Hmmmm..
The crown prince looked disappointed.
However, it did not last long.
“Good. It's my fault for not sending him a message earlier.”
Every member of the second royal knight army was shocked by his words. Suddenly visiting is the crown prince's bad hobby. But, did he just say it was his fault?
“Till dinner time right? I can wait for that. I'll wait inside. You, keep doing your job. ”
Next, he patted Ledio on the shoulder, and walked into the mansion. Captain Oliver moved his eyebrows. It was rare for the captain to express his emotions.
“I'd better get paid back.”
The reason Ian ordered Ledio to receive every reward.
He wants to be compensated for his bad behavior.
If he acted smarter and calmed himself down while injecting mana, he could receive a lot of benefits from it.
However, he messed it up to keep his magic pride. So, he wanted to take as many bribes as he could receive for now.
“Well, it makes me feel good.”
However, he did not regret it.
Even if it was his second life, he couldn't just give up.
He can't stay behind in magic.
That's his only pride.
“Well, the rest of my life won't be easy.”
By reading their well-packed announcement, Ian could see what they were thinking.
They must be scared of Ian. A boy who came out of nowhere suddenly reached them. They must be scared of him.
‘If I were them, I would panic too.’
Pride of their superiority.
The effort they have put in.
Ian's appearance must have ruined all that.
They must be desperate to tame it.
‘Now the problem is there should be enemies from now on.’
Youngest class 4 mage appearance.
The moment it shook the empire, there must have been an enemy produced.
“There are so many strange-minded men in the world.”
The man who would envy Ian.
Or a group that wants to pull him back.
What will they do first?
“My only weakness.”
Ian wouldn't admit it.
However, he already knew his weak point.
A clear weak point that the enemy could see.
‘Ibuku.’
Exactly right. His mother was his only weakness. So, he must have a plan. A device that provides security to the mother, especially a device that can check her location and safety.
‘There are such items that can do the job.’
Ian finally arrived at the merchant territory.
Precisely, in the middle of ‘Hextech road.'(E/N: wait... will there be any copyright issues?)
Ian chose magic power to protect his mother.
Mainly, the devices are made by hextech engineers.
Of course, hextech devices are mostly life-supporting items that help rich people homework. Firstly, their techniques were not good enough to build up the level of the item further. Second, the Ivory Tower oversees the industry with strict rules.
‘This technology would not even be able to exist without the help of witches.’
Witch and hextech.
They have a very close relationship with each other.
The core resource of hextech is where, of course.
They could not conduct experiments and manufacturing without the help of mana.
Who can provide it for them?
‘Ivoire Tower.’
The power of witches is strong. Not just the power of its destructive force. Not only alchemy, architecture, medical care, jewelry, and hextech. It is associated with every life in human civilization.
‘Not many items my mother can use, but.’
A ‘’ communication ball will be enough for the job. Not for civilians, but high-quality orbs that were usually only used by imperial communication posts. Due to its strong communication power, it is very expensive. Ian wanted that level of communication.
‘I can get this money back later.’
Even at this point, money is coming.
A gift parade to the mansion.
Moreover, the gems he had left behind in the old Ivory Tower were shattered.
*the ring!*
Ian opened one of the largest hextech merchant stores.
Doorbell inside welcome clients.
“Hei Van! Bring the blueprints! Blue print!”
“Y, yes Sir!”
A crowded room.
At first, Ian could see engineers.
In appearance, they did jobs similar to blacksmiths. But the hextech engineering room is not full of muscle, heat, and sweat. In contrast, all hextech engineers have relatively thin bodies. Furthermore, the room temperature is controlled by hextech devices, so it has a fairly pleasant temperature.
“Bring me three storage mana small size. Which is fully loaded!”
“Ya sir!”
Hundreds of various storage mana is there.
And unfinished hextech devices.
Which elevator, which lantern, communication ball, and so on.
Some rolled on the ground.
‘Every time I visit here, I just realize how exotic the scenery is.’
The name of the shop is ‘thram’ workshop.
It was the best ‘hextech’ workshop in the Greenriver Empire, and most of the hextech devices were supplied by them and managed by them.
“Move your ass!”
A boy who was busy with work.
He muttered as he passed Ian.
He glanced at Ian as if saying ‘why are you blocking this busy area?’
“Van stupid! Hurry along! What are you doing?”

“I, I'm coming! Senior!”
He could not look at Ian any longer.
With a cry of his senior, he left quickly.
He must be a rookie hextech engineer.
“What can I help you with?”
