Archmage Transcending Through Regression Chapter 100

Episode 100

“Huh, young Walpurgis has arrived in the capital?”

“That’s right.”

At those words, a middle-aged male aristocrat frowned.

“…damn it.”

Mikhail Walpurgis.

Recently, that name has been heard everywhere in the empire.

It was natural. It was because Mikhail was a ‘brave’ recognized by God this time.

A completely unexpected situation.

Who would have predicted that Mikhail, who was no different from half a penny, would become like this.

In the yard where even Grindel broke off the engagement after seeing Ssaksu.

“I never thought that idiot would become a hero. It’s ridiculous.”

“Maybe there was a deal?”

“It could have been.”

With a sneer, the male aristocrat answered the words of his aide.

Marquis Kellibos.

There are only four great families in the empire.

The owner of one of them, the Marquis of Kelibos, was the true identity of a male aristocrat.

‘I can’t believe that idiot suddenly had the skills of a warrior like that?’

haha that doesn’t even sound funny.

It’s not realistically difficult.

I don’t know if he’s been acting like an idiot for a long time.

The Marquis himself knew best that this could not be the case.

It’s true that he’s really an idiot.

What I researched and checked time and time again to strike at Walpurgis….

“What do you think?”

“As I just said, I don’t think we can ignore the possibility that there may have been a transaction.”

The aide said calmly.

It made sense.

Is it possible, in common sense, for that idiot to build up the capacity to become a warrior in this short period of time, in less than a year?

‘No way.’

The Marquis snorted.

At this point, there is a reason why the status of the church has fallen.

Didn’t it rot just like it rotted?

Even if it’s a long past.

At this point in time, the Gyokguk was never a credible group.

It was said that things had changed recently, but the Marquis did not believe them.

The one who believes is sick.

Moreover, if that Mikhail was entangled, even more so.

How could the Grindel Duke’s family unilaterally notify the breakup because they had no eyes?

Isn’t it all because of Mikhail?

Even if the engagement was broken under ‘mutual agreement’, there is no way that the four generations would not know the truth.

but.

‘Thinking like that again makes me wonder why.’

The Marquis frowned.

No matter how much the authority of the kingdom fell, the status of the ‘hero’ was given to Banpun.

Certainly, the position of the hero within the kingdom will still be solid.

The problem was the lack of information.

I had heard of cases that the hero had solved, but I hadn’t heard any convincing testimony that Mikhail really solved them.

My heart says it was a fluke that the fool was selected as a hero.

But on the other hand, my head was telling me not to jump to conclusions too quickly.

“…Tsk.”

The Marquis clicked his tongue, not liking those thoughts.

“What should I do?”

“What should I do? First, we must go to the capital. There must be only one reason why that kid suddenly visited the capital.”

“Could it be His Majesty’s order…?”

“Yeah, that’s all there is to it.”

The emperor’s greed for talent is widely known.

If, by any chance, the emperor’s favor will lean towards Walpurgis….

‘The balance of power will collapse.’

The balance of imperial power.

Although there is a certain degree of power difference between the current great families of the empire, their own balance was maintained.

This was also the will of the emperor.

However, if such an emperor behaves capriciously, the balance collapses.

It’s also because of the idiot.

As the owner of only four great families in the empire, he had no intention of letting it go.

‘No, is that an excuse?’

The Marquis laughed.

I thought of reasons that were nothing short of excuses, but….

at last.

“Is it just that you don’t like it?”

I hate Walpurgis.

I hated that damn wizard family, and I hated its owner.

From long ago, from long ago….

I remembered a woman.

-sorry.

old memories.

She was no longer a woman.

aww

‘Damn Walpurgis.’

The Marquis bit his lip and finally showed his true feelings.

he can’t

I couldn’t wait to see that damn Walpurgis do well.

* * *

I think about it sometimes.

It is said that people always face unexpected situations in life.

yeah that’s not life

It wouldn’t be fun if only the desired situation continued.

As hard as it is, the valuable days that will follow will shine even brighter.

okay.

“hmm.”

But it doesn’t have to come now.

I said calmly.

“Father, I don’t know anything else, but first put down the stick in your hand and talk.”

“This is my means of communication, so why on earth do I have to put it down?”

My father smiled brightly and brandished the stick in his hand.

Not even staff.

A stick full of will to literally step on it lightly.

Is it my imagination that the club smells of blood?

‘How many times has it been broken?’

I still can’t forget the image of my father wielding a club with his eyes exploding in madness.

While being so soft on the vassal.

Why the hell is my son so upset that he can’t eat?

said the father with a laugh.

“Besides, is it so wrong for a father to see his son?”

“There is nothing wrong with that.”

It’s not wrong, but it’s wrong.

At this rate, my strong legs will be smashed.

‘Why did this happen?’

I remembered the situation just a moment ago.

After the conversation with Archbishop Alley, I came out of the temple without much thought. And I was going to go to the imperial palace…

‘Well, it was a problem from there.’

Father suddenly appeared.

Like a warrior who fought back, holding twin clubs in both hands.

“Doesn’t your father, the great mage of the 8th circle, look too helplessly strong? You need to manage your image.”

“Son.”

“yep.”

“We, the Walpurgis, are a family that has been known for gathering only deviant species since ancient times. A great mage wielding a club is nothing to be ashamed of.”

Oh is that so

indeed my father

You have a wit that I can’t even dare to touch.

My father said to me with melancholy eyes.

“Think about it. Is there a great mage in this world who can smash a child’s legs with a stick? I am so proud of the fact that this father has opened up a new horizon.”

“I don’t think you should be particularly proud of that.”

Somewhere, I wonder if there is something wrong as a father beyond wit.

“Well, put down that stick first, anyway.”

“why me?”

“I can’t crawl and go to an audience with His Majesty, can’t I? Still, I have the face of a warrior.”

“Okay. It’s a broken leg, so it’s easy to attach.”

“You can’t get cold. In the first place, I didn’t even use a shovel to fly.”

“…Uhm.”

My father twitched the hand holding the club in embarrassment.

Every time I saw the club, painful memories came to my mind, and my lips twitched.

When I was just living life in the middle of my childhood, how many times had I been indebted to that club?

But it’s okay.

In my long experience, I felt that there was no sincerity in my father’s club.

[…] …How many times has your leg been damaged?]

‘You don’t need to know.’

…Whatever.

“Aren’t you here to talk? Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve had a proper conversation with my father lately.”

“Kuhm.”

At my words, my father’s embarrassing light grew stronger.

The club he was holding was also drooping.

Seeing this, I smiled bitterly without even realizing it.

‘Was it like this?’

I didn’t know before returning.

To my father, I was always a sore finger and I never tried to understand him.

For me, my father….

It was too far.

Great mage of the 8th circle.

I didn’t seem to be able to reach him, and I thought there was no way he could understand me because he was a proud person.

perhaps…The feeling I had may have been an inferiority complex.

But now I seemed to know.

My father was a clumsy person.

Although he was a great great mage.

As a father, it was awkward.

It’s not that it’s clumsy in a bad sense.

I think too much about how to approach my son.

I want to praise you for nothing, but I’m doing this because I’m cool.

Going back in time, I never thought I’d see these things now.

Well, people’s emotions can’t be understood by the number of circles, right?

“…Great.”

“I had a lot to talk about, Father.”

I want to have an honest conversation between father and son after a long time before I have an audience with the emperor.

“Put down the stick.”

That person is true.

Why do you hold on to such a heinous thing until the end?

* * *

“You’re calmer than I thought.”

My father, who immediately moved to the right place, spoke to me.

“Still, I’m having an audience with His Majesty, but you’re so calm.”

“It’s not like being flustered doesn’t change the situation.”

“It is, however.”

My father looked at me curiously and laughed.

“It seems like yesterday that I was holding on to the hem of Princess Lindel’s skirt, but when did I grow up like this?”

“Because it was not the time to be immature. Unfortunately.”

“…Mmm.”

At my words, my father salivated.

You must have realized the meaning of my answer.

“Did you mean the devil?”

“The example is clear, but mankind still cannot unite.”

What I have done so far has been to sort out the source of the disaster.

But that alone isn’t enough.

Arranging them will only slow down the demon’s descent and weaken its power.

In any case, the arrival of the demon god had to be equipped with as many things as possible until the appointed time.

The unity of mankind is also one of the things I have to do until then.

“understood. Are you saying that your intentions to have an audience with His Majesty this time are also included?”

My father grimaced with a complicated expression.

“Actually, I’m not too worried about His Majesty.”

“Hmm…“

Your Majesty is wise. I trust that judgment.”

yes i trust the emperor

Aside from how damn good his attitude is, he believes that the emperor won’t make ‘stupid’ choices.

“Then what are you worried about? Anyway, His Majesty’s authority in the current empire will be solidified.”

“Four great families.”

I answered my father’s words.

“Isn’t there the largest family in the empire? Each noble family can be regarded as a small kingdom.”

My father listened to me quietly.

“Among them, Lindell is trustworthy. At least at this point. The Duke is basically an upright person.”

Of course, it is an obvious fact that he shoveled in relation to marriage talks.

If you leave that out….

It would be nice to see that there are no other problems.

“You mean the other two are the problem? You are not wrong.”

The family of the Marquis of Kellibos.

The family of Duke Michel.

Those two families are the problem.

Sooner or later, a big problem will arise between the two of them.

The biggest of these is….

“Among them, the family that will become the biggest problem in the future would be Kelibos.”

“…Kelibos.”

For a moment, the father’s expression darkened for a moment.

It was a natural reaction.

My father had a bad relationship with the Marquis Kellibos.

“Certainly, it’s not an easy family either. But what are you going to do?”

“I have something in mind. But before that…”

I said to my father.

“Please help me with one thing.”

“What do you mean?”

My father blinked and looked at me.

I grinned.

“I thought of an effective way to suppress Kelibos.”
