Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

24 – A young dragon learns magic. (5)

What was the problem?

It didn’t take long for Han to figure out the answer.

‘Ah. Right. Now that I think about it, how am I?’

Han was born as a white dragon.

In this continent, it is also called Bingryong (氷龍) in other words.

The cold ice dragon of this frozen northern land.

So, without thinking, it was only natural that magic that causes fire attributes would have a minus point from the beginning if the system was to be considered.

‘On the contrary, it should be more flexible with ice-type magic.’

In the end, it wasn’t my intention, but

He was struggling in vain by not recalling the peculiarities of his birth.

‘Then where? You can find out by checking the other pages.’

Flutter. Flutter.

After turning several pages, I came to a page with drawings of ice figures. At first glance, it is a magic page related to cold.

The page depicted a young noble boy concentrating with his hand on his snowball.

[Key-.]

Looking at it.

Han raised his eyes a little wide. It’s because he realized something.

‘It’s the same way I used to do it. Then, perhaps this is part of the process of getting closer to mana of the cold attribute?’

I only noticed this after reading this book.

Perhaps this is part of an introductory magical education course that familiarizes you with the attributes that pervade the entire continent, not just their northern part.

Anyway.

In the next picture, the boy holds out his hand and looks like he’s releasing cold air, but the results are quite variable.

Snowballs, sharp ice arrows, blizzards and more…

Seeing that several results are drawn,

I thought that maybe these were the results of magic that I thought and realized.

It is said that the shape and result are reversed just by the result of thinking.

It is very interesting.

‘Where should I try it?’

Leaving behind the beating of my heart that started beating a little faster,

Han imagined a cold snowball as the image in the picture in the book.

Steel Puck!

Then,

With a single shimmer, a lump of snow that had formed in front of his eyes fell in front of him.

‘Oh!’

The snowballs that fell and splattered were crumbled and scattered on the floor.

‘It’s done at once. It’s even easier than the fire magic I did before, isn’t it?’

As expected.

However, the exclamation was short-lived.

Steel Puck!

A new snowball appeared out of nowhere and fell and crushed at his feet.

[…?]

Let Han raise his head at that sudden phenomenon.

Steel puck, iron puck.

Soon, he saw countless snowballs starting to form in front of his eyes.

‘What, what is it? Didn’t he even generate magic?’

Not one or two.

The number quickly increased.

One became two, two became three.

At the appearance of snowballs that continue to pile up in front of him as if they were laying eggs.

Embarrassed, Han hesitantly stepped back.

‘Something is strange. It’s not like this.’

A magical phenomenon that occurs on its own even though mana has not been allocated separately.

I had never heard or reported anything like this.

At the appearance of snowballs that quickly pile up like a mountain,

This time, the eyes of the maids who were passing by with the door open in case of an emergency were immediately drawn to it.

[Uh, uh uh! Eh, what are these?]

[Here! Head Maid!]

The surprised maids hurriedly shouted and began to gather people.

[What’s going on this time, Yone!]

[Maid! Snowball! The snowball is being copied!]

* * * *

The office of the Archduchess of Arctus.

Garcion, the owner of the house, lowered her head in moderation toward the woman with white snow-like hair in front of him and conveyed the contents.

“It is said that the Guardian Dragon really succeeded in grafting with magic.”

“I see.”

At his words, Grand Duke Lucrezia, who had been staring at the documents with cold eyes as always, raised her head.

She looked back at the window beside her and thought for a moment.

‘I can’t believe I reached here in just one day.’

Less than a day has passed since the wizard Talia handed her her magic book.

However, the result was surprising.

From what I’ve heard about the situation, it seems that somehow the number of those snowballs continues to appear even at this very moment, but

That wasn’t really important.

The young guardian dragon’s magical talent is truly amazing.

If it’s an effect that was caused by drawing out all the magical energy in the surrounding atmosphere, it wasn’t particularly strange.

For example, it was because the talent of the overflowing dragon was fully expressed.

“Surely it is surprising. It’s so great that it can’t be expressed in the handed down tradition.”

Several months for an ordinary human to awaken magical power.

Several years to reawaken the magic.

By the way, this young Guardian Dragon.

He was used to using magic within half a day or a little more at most.

Unlike humans, it’s to the point that even they can’t control their overflowing talent.

It is a noble and incomparable talent that is impossible by human nature.

“And…”

“Hmm? What?”

To Grand Duke Lucrezia, who expressed his doubts, Deacon Garcion handed over a series of documents.

“Recently, it is said that an ‘abnormality’ has occurred in the barrier near the northeast that has been quiet for a while.”

“…Weird?”

At those words, Archduke Lucrezia turned to him.

The look in his eyes seemed to ask me to explain in more detail.

To that, he added a little comment.

“We haven’t been able to figure it out yet because the place is so deep, but the people of the nearby territory have witnessed that at least some demonic energy is leaking out. He said that he confirmed with his own eyes the existence of the dark demons leaking into the sky.”

“…”

At that sound, her eyes cooled.

“Okay. Is it time to go around the boundary of the inspection car? Go back and do your work.”

“I understand, the head of the household.”

Archduke Lucrezia waved his hand. It was a congratulatory order.

Kik-, thump.

The butler cautiously stepped back and closed the door.

Looking away from the closed door, she returned to the stack of papers.

In her office, left alone again, she began to concentrate.

‘Hmm…’

In her eyes that resemble pure white eyes, a sign of worry was reflected.

She rummaged through memories of the past for a while.

‘It hasn’t been that long since the barriers had gone wrong before, but the problem has already occurred again.’

More and more, its cycle was accelerating.

At this rate, trouble would undoubtedly arise.

‘I have to prepare for the launch first.’

For confirmation, it seemed that she had to come forward herself.

* * * *

“Awesome. Ugh…!”

Wizard Talia.

She was distracted in the middle of her mouth. Her cheeks swelled up like they were about to explode, reminiscent of hamsters.

‘hehehehe.’

Why is it so delicious?

With that thought in mind, she picked up another piece of bread that her maid had brought her and began to gnaw on it.

Originally, in this northern region, which is one of the coldest polar regions on the continent, its own indigenous food was bound to develop.

And what is the most famous thing here? As expected, no matter what anyone said, it was bread.

Thanks to the characteristic that baked bread can be preserved for a long time due to its high preservability, it has developed very well in this region.

Moreover, this place is so disconnected from each other because there is not much traffic between each territory,

The types of bread produced were also diverse, with dozens of different types in each village across just one village.

For this reason, bread from the north was said to be an excellent specialty in the empire, and the price was infinitely high.

I thought I would definitely try it at least once when I come to this northern region someday.

Now that she received and ate various types of bread like this, Talia had no reason not to refuse.

‘I’ll take this opportunity for a few more days before I go. Oh no. At least I’ll buy a little more time until I return to the Mage’s Tower.’

She was about to have a really good time for her.

Knock. Knock.

The visit of her who was busy eating bread,

Someone knocked and announced presence.

“Huh…?”

She naturally mumbled the bread in her mouth and turned her head behind her.

‘Who are you? Are you a maid? But today, for some reason, the knocking sound seems to be particularly moderate.’

I was just trying to think of it as not too serious, like what happened in the past few days.

The main character of the voice that came from beyond the door was more than she imagined.

“Wizard. Sorry for the suddenness at this hour, but would it be all right if we could talk for a while?”

“Ugh…!”

At that cool, cold voice.

Magician Thalia’s eyes widened considerably.

“Dae, Grand Duke?!”

It was because of a completely unexpected visitor.

“Ah! De, you can come in!”

“Then excuse me.”

Kik-.

As soon as she gave her permission, the door opened as if she had waited.

The moment I met the sad cold eyes of Grand Duke Lucrecia entering the room,

“Duke, Grand Duke! Sir… Kek…! Keek!”

Talia tried to say hello, but her throat was blocked by the bread she was chewing, and she grabbed her head.

Her breath was choking.
