chapter 66
66 – Episode 61: Wizard’s Village – 2
First of all, I decided to listen to Louis about the general circumstances. I need to know something to find out or not.
“So, how did that Zeke run away?”
“After a little argument, they packed up and left. It should have dried then…”
Louie put on a bitter expression.
…
That day was the first day that wizard Louie was very angry with his disciple Zeke.
“Master! I created a new spell! Please take a look!”
Zeke. That little snuffer created my own formula. Louis couldn’t be so happy as a teacher.
It was a calm attitude, as if nothing had happened, but the inside of it was that Zeke was very admirable and only wanted to praise him.
“Hmm, let’s see.”
Louis barely hid the twitching corners of his mouth.
Soon after, Zeke began to calmly write down the formula he had created in front of his master.
Waves of red mana swayed.
In an instant, Louis’ expression, which had been filled with anticipation, turned cold.
Zeke, not noticing that, completed the spell.
“It is a magic that allows you to see the highest efficiency in the shortest amount of time! Aside from getting a little weaker in the second half, isn’t it a really perfect spell!”
“this person… .”
Zeke opened his mouth with a confident expression.
However, Louis kept his head down. His white beard was shaking.
Sensing something strange, Zeke cautiously opened his mouth.
“Master… … ?”
Louie’s face was flushed red as if it were about to explode.
Louie shouted in a very angry voice.
“This is not orthodox magic!”
Louis hit Sieg hard on the back of the head.
Then he tore up all the spells he had created and burned them using fire magic.
Zeke, who watched the scene in dismay, also burst into anger.
“Why is it, Master! Where are you saying my spell is wrong! I can’t understand!!”
To the disciple’s question, Louis answered with still uneasiness.
“You stupid bastard! Magic is ‘Patience’! No matter how much you get scolded and persecuted, you said that the true magic is to stick to the basics and stand firm!”
“But if you do that, no one will notice! What use is that?”
I didn’t know that the battle between the two would end.
“To walk the right path as a wizard is to reach the end of magic even if no one knows! There is no wealth or fame in the process… .”
“No, Master. Even if I succeed as a magician, I hate to die living a life without wealth, fame, and even less people who know me!”
In an instant, Louis’ reason was completely cut off.
“Don’t ever get out of my sight again! A greedy guy like you doesn’t deserve to be a wizard! Get out of my house!”
Louie threw his luggage out the front door in a fit of rage.
“Wait and see! You will regret it for the rest of your life, Master! You didn’t recognize the future archmage!”
Sieg, who was shouting at Louis with a huff, soon left without looking back.
Louis silently looked at the path the disciple had left.
…
“That’s how it happened…”
“I don’t understand. I drove them out so hard, so what are they looking for again? I must have gone my own way.”
“Kreureung! Kreureung!”
Lin couldn’t understand.
Hearing those words, Louis hesitated for a while, then opened his mouth to speak.
“There is a reason… .”
“Is it? What’s the reason… ?”
“You don’t need to know that far! Now hurry up and find the disciple! An hour is urgent!”
Effortless, Louis kicked out of his seat and stood up.
“Of course, I will keep my promise in the name of the wizard Louis. Now go out and find your disciple!!”
“waiting! Chop, this guy is very violent!”
“no! You crazy old man! At least tell me what it looks like!”
Louie kicked us and pushed us out of the house.
We were quickly kicked out of the house. It was absurd.
It seems that it was not an empty word to say that he had a really eccentric personality.
Are you really thinking about finding a disciple?
At least you should tell me about your impression or face.
No matter how many times he knocked on the door again, Louis only remained silent.
It was impossible to stand still here all day.
We decided to go back to the village for now.
* * *
I didn’t have any other options, so I said I’d find it… .
It was a very frustrating situation when I came down to the village like this.
Where should I start looking for it?
“yes… ? What are those guys? Did you meet that geek?”
A voice came from behind us who were feeling discouraged.
I turned around and saw the middle-aged man I had met at the entrance of the village earlier.
Yeah, what else could there be?
If you don’t know, there is no other way than to ask.
I began to explain Louis’ request in detail to the man. Then he nodded and focused on the story.
“If you are a disciple… Are you talking about that Zeke?”
He said with a look that reminded him of something.
I asked him carefully.
“Do you know Zeke?”
“Of course you know. He was the one who, at the age of only 8, went to the eccentric on his own and begged to be accepted as his disciple. He’s a famous guy in this town.”
The man, who had a face that seemed to know that, continued.
“The villagers were so ripped off, but I knew that. Of course, Louis, that old lady has no one to teach anyone in the first place.”
He gestured towards us to wait a moment and continued talking.
“Wait a minute, I’m going to ask people if they’ve seen Zeke.”
The man headed to nearby houses.
After knocking on the door of each house with a brisk walk, asking people for their understanding, he began to ask questions.
I don’t know if it’s a wide range or just kind, but we were grateful.
“Has anyone seen it… ?”
The man nodded at my question.
However, it was a bit of a puzzled expression.
“Uh, I heard Mr. Feltrock of Red Roof House saw it. But it doesn’t seem to be in this town right now. He said he left the village entrance during the day yesterday.”
“I wonder where that place is… .”
“I don’t know that far. But, if you can guess, there is one.”
The man who had been touching his chin paused as if thinking for a moment.
Soon he pointed his finger in the direction and said.
“I’m not sure, but try going to the village next to us. If you go east-west from this town, you will come out. It’s the only place to go near here.”
As I said before, there are no other options.
After thanking the man again and again, we got on the carriage again.
Next time I buy information, I’ll have to tell you clearly.
It’s us who paid for it, so don’t create this dog-like situation where we struggle.
The tree and the key to wisdom, you swindlers… .
* * *
The carriage rode briskly under the midday sun.
The hot summer made us tired as well as the running horses.
Wiping away sweat, we searched for a way to find Zeke.
“I don’t doubt you, Joo Hyuk, but is there a way to find that Zeke?”
“If there was a way, I would have found it right away. There is no other way than to head to the ground. I have no choice but to go to the village he said… .”
“Yeah, is that so… .”
At my words, Rin sighed lightly.
To be honest, even if I went to the village, there was no guarantee that Zeke would be there.
I just believe it’s there.
“Joo Hyuk, Look! there is! Someone collapsed.”
We rode a wagon and moved to the next village.
While moving quietly, Isabelle suddenly waved at me and pointed somewhere.
A man was lying face down where her fingertips pointed.
“Damian! Stop the wagon for a second!”
As soon as the carriage stopped, I quickly ran to him.
Seeing him up close, he was much smaller than expected.
What was lying on the ground was a young boy of about 15 years of age.
I picked up the child and climbed back into the carriage.
“Kids, wake up! Are you okay?”
It was still hidden.
With a hoarse voice, the boy opened his mouth.
“Um, some water… .”
When I handed over the water bottle I had, the child began to drink in a hurry.
And after a little time passed, the child seemed to regain his strength, and he squeezed my hand tightly and even shed tears. Then, he bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.
“Teacher, thank you very much! You are my lifesaver! I really thought I was going to die from taking so little water in the village! How should I repay this favor… ”
Contrary to his voice and appearance, the boy spoke in a very mature manner.
“No, it’s not that much… Well, if you really want to repay the favor, give it in money… .”
I didn’t save someone in trouble hoping for a reward.
However, he said he wanted to repay the favor, but he refused recklessly, so he said that he should accept it for a bit.
The boy said hastily, as if he had forgotten something.
“Ah, the introduction is late! My name is Zeke! As you can see, I almost died, but thanks to the teacher, I was able to save my life.”
The boy introduced himself as Zeke.
No, wait a minute Zeke… ?
Now that kid said his name was Zeke.
For a moment, I blinked my eyes in bewilderment.
I wondered if it was someone with the same name, so I was about to ask me a question, but Rin looked surprised and asked the boy who introduced himself as Zeke.
“Zeke… ! Are you saying you’re Zeke? That Louis’ disciple?”
“Yes, I am Zeke, but… . Do the teachers know me?”
What kind of luck is this?
You don’t even have to go to town, to find it so easily!
i think i found it now
Zeke, a disciple of wizard Louis.
