Episode 2
“family?”
On the journey south, I remember Rista asking a strange question.
“Yes, Rin, have you ever thought about having a family?”
“doesn’t exist. “I don’t even know the face of the mother who gave birth to me.”
I grew up in a slum in the north.
If the dean of the Osarius School had not noticed his magical talent and taken it away from him, he would have died as a street orphan.
“So I don’t even know what family is like. “I don’t know what it is, so I’m not interested.”
“Oh, you pity me… … .”
Then the priestess Friede playfully hugged the boy and smoked a cigarette. She resisted the embarrassment and answered.
“Even if I have a family… … I don’t know how to deal with it. So there is no need.”
“It’s not difficult, Rin.”
A flower fresher than spring bloomed on Rista’s face as she heard those empty mutterings.
“Just save a lot. “Rin is a sweet kid, so she’ll do well.”
young master.
Master, it’s morning… … .
As the view opens with a polite whisper, the landscape of nostalgic memories closes.
“Yes… … .”
The boy sat up in bed and stretched.
Deep, brilliant sunlight.
It was morning, the melody of spring with the morning birds chirping.
“Then, Master Lane, I will prepare breakfast for you.”
The boy yawned and straightened his clothes while looking in the mirror.
Shiny black hair and red eyes more beautiful than rubies.
It is a body with an elegant appearance.
His elegant features did not have any of the clumsiness or roughness typical of someone who grew up in the slums.
To put it bluntly, the boy was reincarnated.
It was only 20 days ago that an immature and blunt nine-year-old child regained memories from 300 years ago.
The reincarnated identity was the eldest son of Prince Ludwig’s family, one of the five Madoses representing the empire.
The Ludwig family is a prestigious family whose progenitor is the 5th Great Wizard Ryuken Ludwig, who can be said to be the boy’s great senior.
Unlike his previous life as an orphan with nothing, he was born into a harmonious and affluent family, so the boy had to make constant efforts to adapt to his changed daily life.
“Master, good morning.”
“Oh my goodness. Lane, you’re already awake. Have fun! Okay, call your father. “I will be happy if you come.”
“yes.”
My father was in the head office.
It was a crowded room with luxurious furniture and countless documents.
“Rain, didn’t you sleep well? “You don’t look good.”
Lane, Lane Ludwig.
Prince Ludwig’s proud first son.
“Has the travel fatigue not resolved yet?” … .”
The father, Kavan Ludwig, took the boy’s temperature by placing his finger on his forehead. Suddenly, I remembered the days when Rista did similar work.
“The meal is ready, please come down.”
“Haha, is that why my son came personally? “Thank you, but go and eat first.”
“why?”
The father hugged the boy, rubbed his beard on his face, and led him to the desk in the head office.
It was visible in the boy’s eyes.
A wide sheet of drawing paper spread out on a tabletop diagonally illuminated by the spring sunlight. A three-layer magic square drawn on the drawing paper.
“Magic?”
“Yes, because the theory presentation is next week. When you eat something, you feel dizzy. “I try to exert as much energy as possible in the morning when my head is clear.”
The boy’s eyes quickly and accurately scanned the information on the magic square drawn on the drawing paper.
The shape of the magic square is three squares. The engraved runes are Zhou (周), Da (茶), and Go (庫).
Since it is a square, it is an earth attribute magic.
As can be seen from the three magic squares and three runes, it is a 3-star magic.
It is a high level of magic that even geniuses can barely reach.
‘It’s blocked there and there.’
But the boy was a great wizard.
The problem was visible at a glance.
“Can you help me?”
“Why were you thinking of cheering me on?”
“no. “I will help you.”
“Lane’s support is of course welcome. But if she does that, her mom and dad will get scolded. Now, go ahead and eat breakfast.”
No, it really helps.
Before Kaven had time to stop him, the boy climbed up onto the desk and took the quill in his hand.
‘What is magic?’
After determining the attributes with shapes and the traits with runes.
‘Interpreting providence through mathematical equations and twisting it to change it.’
The direction in which Cavern is blocked can of course be said to be the final work… … .
‘Is it the math calculation part?’

The mathematical equations that filled the inside of the magic square were cut off at some point.
“The rune of Go (庫) makes the mathematical formula more complicated and conflicts with the rune of Tea (茶). So it’s better to change it to gu (丘).”
“… … ?”
“Then, the answer can be found quickly by establishing the imperial equation 41-2. “Like this.”
The boy finished writing with a quill pen on the drawing paper and smiled.
No, how did you smile?
Funny enough, I couldn’t remember how to smile at that time, so I had to twitch the corners of my mouth with both hands.
“This… … This way… … ?”
Kavan’s eyes, who had been helpless at his son’s prank, opened wide and he looked alternately at the drawing paper and his son’s face.
‘How is this… … ?’
It was a difficult problem that even the empire’s talented scholars could not dare to find a solution to. It was a high-level magic that was put into practice about 200 years ago.
If we can re-establish this magic, many people will receive miraculous help from natural disasters such as floods and landslides.
But Lane is only nine years old. How could something like this happen at an age when you can barely use basic magic? … ?
“Can we have breakfast together now?”
the boy asked.
The father raised his head in a daze, then laughed, stroking his son’s head.
“Okay, let’s go eat together.”
* * *
The boy’s ancestry was not complicated.
My parents were above me, and my six-year-old sister was below me.
The child who is now standing on the other side, sticking out her head and looking at the boy, is his younger sister.
Hair as fair as ebony and red eyes.
A pretty girl born with the exact same physical characteristics of the Ludwig family as Raine.
“… … ?”
But when you make eye contact, they run away.
It’s not unreasonable.
Because in the boy’s memory, Lane was not kind to his sister. Rather than being unkind, she was indifferent to the world to begin with.
Is it because of the loneliness engraved in my soul?
It may have been because the pain of being born in a time when all of my colleagues died and became legends remained in my soul, and I lived a life full of emptiness.
“… … .”
As he kept running away, I tried to ignore it and read the book, but there was a voice that kept bothering me.
– Please save me a lot.
How do you run away like that?
I’m too busy with my own things to do.
This body has a poor amount of magic power and lacks stamina. Even if you know how to use magic, if you don’t have magical power, you’re a doomuk.
– Rin is a kind child, so she will do well. I believe so.
The boy sighed heavily.
And when he made eye contact with his sister again, he made a hand gesture.
“Come on. What should I tell you? Or play with me?”
Her younger sister, Seri Ludwig, seemed taken aback by the question. So, after biting at her mouth for a while, he quickly ran away.
However, he appeared again a moment later and held out a book with both hands to Lane.
“『Basic formula for 1-star magic』… … “You’re six years old and you’re already studying this?”
Seri nodded her head furiously.
Then he started dancing. She looked so excited to be able to talk to her brother.
– Come here, Lynn.
At that time, the nostalgic memories passed by, clearing the world in front of me for an instant.
Every time I encounter a beautiful scenery.
Every time she encountered the vast nature and brilliant world, Rista would make Rin sit on her legs and teach her various things.
– Lin, do you know what the language of this flower is?
– Lin, do you know what story there is on that cliff?
Rin complained that she was being treated like a child… … Actually, I couldn’t have been happier with that time. That’s why she let Seri sit on her legs.
“What do you not know?”
“This, this!”
“You don’t even know the first part… … .”
“Yep!”
“okay. Now, let me explain.”
How should I talk about the vast world of magic?
“Have you ever played building a house?”
“huh-!”
“Thatch houses, brick houses… … The materials vary depending on what kind of house you want to build, right? The magic square plays that role.”
Magic square.
The shape of the magic square determines the properties of the magic.
“If you draw a triangle like this, it has a fire attribute, and the fan shape has a wind attribute. So the magic written here is wind attribute magic.”
“Bah, badam!”
“The next step is runes. Runes determine the nature of magic.”
Runes are words used in magic, ancient words with different meanings.
In the case of law, it is bondage.
In the case of pen name, it is Bisan.
For example, if you carve Yul’s rune into a triangular magic square, it becomes a fire attribute binding magic.
“Now you can solve the problem using mathematical formulas.”
“Su-gak!”
“No, math.”
“Is math and academics all there?”
“… … .”
“… … ?”
“In the case of law, a quadratic equation is required… … Okay, let’s just start with addition and subtraction.”
The maids and butlers exchanged hushed smiles as they took in the lovely sight.
“Master Lane has changed.”
“I know. In the past, I didn’t even pay attention even when the Seri girl cried next to me… … .”
“It seems like the gun has returned to your eyes since you went to the square.”
When the boy’s parents came to the library, the boy and the girl, unable to overcome the drowsiness of their childhood, fell asleep side by side on the desk.
“oh… … .”
The boy’s mother, Brim, covered her mouth, wiping away tears.
“Honey, I want to leave a picture of this scene.”
“I won’t wake up by the time the painter comes. And you know that Seri is very shy.”
“still… … .”
Kavan cautiously approached and looked at the things laid out on the table. A basic magic book, a quill, and a sloppy magic square drawn on drawing paper… … .
“Yes, you were teaching your younger brother.”
Kavan grinned and placed his hand on the boy’s head. Small, soft hair slipped through my fingers and blew in the spring breeze.
“It seems like Lane has become a completely different person since going to the square.”
“Speaking has also become more adult. Could it be that the abyss has filled?”
“What is the abyss? They say this is called Bujeonjeon, right? “I have had the same experience.”
The top graduates of the Magic University Delaiten have long been given the opportunity to have an audience with the sacred body of Archmage Lin.
“It was 14 years ago that I had that opportunity to meet Lin.”
“I did.”
“I was embarrassed. “That person reached 5-star level during the era of war, but I was boasting about being only a 3-star wizard.”
A wizard of the Atlas (3-star) level is also a genius who will leave his mark on the century. Currently, there are only 150 people in the entire empire.
“Of course, I didn’t become a four-star wizard because of that day’s meeting. But it is true that it was a big turning point. “I don’t think Lane is like that either.”
“Is Lin’s body really frozen?”
“Of course. It didn’t look like a corpse at all. How skillful would you be at using freezing magic? “I vividly remember how I was when I was eighteen.”
“Please tell me more.”
“story? “There’s nothing more to do even if you want to.”
Kayvern, who was shaking his head with a wry smile, suddenly thought, “Ah,” and touched his chin.
“Now that I think about it, there was magic left behind by the warrior Lista in the middle of the ice.”
“really?”
“The dragon priests also said it was true. “It seems like a magical power that only Ristana Lin herself can awaken, so it must be a letter.”
Lista’s magic was whispering like this.
To you who will wake up one day, and who I promised you would, I leave here a letter from my soul. To you who are coming here from somewhere far away.
Kavan, who was smiling bitterly as he recalled the memories of that day, raised his eyebrows.
“Oh, now that I think about it… … “I had something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“Lane seems like a genius. Not just a genius, maybe… … “I might reach the level of a wise man.”
Kaven told me what Lane had done to solve the magic square in the morning. He solved what he had been struggling with for a year and could not solve, once and for all.
“iced coffee! So you could come to the breakfast table?”
“exactly. So, it may be a little early, but I think I’ll start teaching Lane magic soon.”
The Ludwig family has been called the ‘stealing wizards’ since ancient times.
When the level reaches its limit, the magical eye is opened, as this eye is famous for its ability to read and steal all magic.
That was the Ludwig family’s household magic, also called the blood limit that could only be used by those who inherited the family’s blood.
“Of course, I don’t know how much I can teach… … .”
“Is it that much?”
“That’s about it.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“We’ll think about it later. “For now, I just teach as best as I can.”
Kaven gently stroked the boy’s head and smiled brightly once again.
“You are such a lovely son, so I want to do everything I can as a parent.”
