Toddlers and Teenagers Chapter 29.Council: The Mysterious Magic Array
For the scene that appeared just now, many shamans in the shaman's hall clearly saw it.
Suddenly a light appeared from the ancient book, and it disappeared into a young shaman in an instant. Seeing that the shamans who were closer to me stopped what they were doing, they looked at me with some surprise.
The black frame was also standing closer to me, and he looked at me standing there with some surprise, for fear that something would happen to my body in the next moment.
"Tut, you...... No, (whispering) ......" Black Frame muttered a little puzzled about the strange scene just now.
Looking at the shamans around me who were staring at me, my expression became a little stern.
While the shamans and I were looking at each other, several old shamans about his age stepped out from behind the black-framed elder.
"What's going on?"
An old shaman with a somewhat serious face took the lead in asking the young shaman who was not far from me. Hearing the old man's inquiry, the shaman told the old man what had happened before.
After listening to the young shaman's words, Hei Frame and the old men looked at each other, and there was an inexplicable light in their eyes.
When I saw the books in my hand clearly, the old men and the black-framed expressions obviously had a headache.
"Young shaman, please take off your shirt, and we will examine your chest. An old man with a calmer face said to me.
When I heard the old man's words, I was obviously a little surprised.
However, I had no choice but to untie the leather armor on my upper body, and I took off the leather armor easily. Next came the shirt, which was removed from my athletic upper body.
"Oh......"
When they saw my muscular upper body, some of the shamans around me couldn't help but sigh in admiration. I was obviously a little embarrassed by these stares staring at me.
When the black frame and the old shamans saw the pattern on my chest, they couldn't help but cover their mouths. The surprise and surprise in their expressions showed their thoughts very well.
"Open... What a joke...... Unexpectedly... Did it really show up?!"
The old man with a serious expression from before rushed to my side and said in disbelief, his voice trembling a little, trembling so much that he could not hide the excitement in his heart.
Then the stern-looking old man looked very closely at the pattern on my chest, which was composed of white light and extremely dark darkness, and it seemed to glow faintly in the dim environment.
Just as the stern-faced old man was about to reach out and touch the pattern on my chest, the black frame and the other old men stopped him.
The black-framed elder took the book from my hand and discussed it with a few old men.
"He did chant the incantation, but strangely enough he could read it......
The black frame turned the book to the last page, and pointed to the spell on the book and said to several old men.
"It looks like he's the chosen one...... How many years have passed? One of our clans has finally been chosen......
An old man with a grim expression said with relief.
"I didn't expect that... This kid did what we didn't!"
Another old man with a somewhat unwilling face looked at me and said helplessly.
"Anyway, he did what we couldn't do. The question is next... What to do?"
The old man with a calm face standing beside the black frame asked his companions who were discussing.
"We can only cultivate him, and we will teach him. Maybe this young shaman will be able to make our goblin clan strong in the future!"
An old man standing at the end of the discussion circle with an expressionless face said firmly.
"By the way, Black Frame, he's the young shaman you taught, right?" asked the old man with a calm face from earlier, towards Black Frame.
"Yes, his name is Tut. The black frame nodded affirmatively to the old men.
――――
Seeing that the black-framed elder was discussing with the old men, I stood there a little helplessly.
"The ......" I was about to say something to the Blackframe Elder, but they were still discussing it with each other.
――――
"Well, then, let's teach Tut boy together. The old men said steadily to the black frame together.
"Don't worry, old man. We will teach your disciples carefully. ”
Several old men seemed to see through the concerns in Hei Frame's eyes, and they smiled and said and motioned to reassure Black Frame.
"Now let's start the council. ”
The old men went from here to the place where the meeting was about to begin, and they gave me a meaningful look before leaving.
When the surrounding shamans saw several old men leaving here, they also followed.
"Tut, what are you doing? Hurry up and get dressed and follow me. Looking at me standing in place, the black frame said angrily.
I quickly put on my shirt and leather armor and followed in the footsteps of the Black-Framed Elder, and although I had many doubts in my mind, I had no choice but to resist the thought and go with the Black-Framed Elder to the council room where the council was to be held.
In the centre of this council room, a large round table is placed next to eight stone armchairs.
The old men sat in their seats early, waiting for the arrival of the black frame and me, and in addition to these old men, there were many older shamans standing in this council room.
Seeing the black frame sitting in their seats, the old men nodded to each other to indicate that the council could begin. And I stood behind the black-framed elder and looked at it with a serious face......
"The parliament is now open. ”
Dill stood up and said solemnly to his old friends in the armchairs.
"The content of this council is mainly the last battle of the Red Flame Earth Dragon, in which we successfully killed the Red Flame Earth Dragon together with the orcs. But here's a question, how did the Red Flame Earth Dragon come to the verdant forest?"
Dill said solemnly to everyone present.
"I've heard... The earth dragon seemed to have emerged from Mount Sombra. The old man sitting next to Dill looked at the drawings in his hand and said very flatly.
"Yes, Joel. According to the report, the earth dragon suddenly appeared on the top of Mount Sombra and lived there for a few days, but how did it get to the top of the mountain?"
After hearing Joel's speech beside him, Dill nodded in the affirmative and asked the other shamans.
"We sent someone to investigate, and on the top of that mountain there was a large magic circle that we had never seen before. ”
The old man who had looked at me with a serious expression took out a piece of parchment and a strange crystal from his bag, placed them on the stone table, and spoke to all of you.
"Magic Array that I've never seen before?Tapu didn't expect there to be a magic array you haven't seen, it's really strange~" Dill teased with interest after hearing this old friend's story.
At Diel's sudden ridicule, all the shamans present couldn't help but laugh.
“... I said don't laugh, come and see this magic array before commenting. Tapp opened the parchment and said coldly to the crowd.
When he saw the magic circle on the parchment, Black Frame and the other old men stopped laughing. They stared intently at the pattern of the magic circle on the parchment, which they had never seen before.
"This magic array is the one on the top of the mountain, and after the investigation team printed the magic array on parchment, they quickly sent it back. ”
Seeing the look on the shaman's face while waiting for the black frame, Tap tapped his finger on the stone table while answering the magic circle on the parchment drawing.
"This magic array...... It's not our ......," Dill said, shaking his head in denial.
"It's not an orc ......," Tapu said next.
"It's not like the magic array of the elves and dwarves......"
While observing the patterns and runes of the magic array, the black frame spoke his thoughts.
"That's not the case with the Titans' magic array...... Joel said to everyone in the room, handing his hand.
"We don't think this magic array will be a masterpiece of human beings......" the rest of the old men expressed their opinions in unison.
"Kesa, Joanlang, Mead, Wipp, don't jump to conclusions. Dill said sternly to these old friends.
"I said Diel, don't we know about the human magic array? According to their magic level, it is completely impossible to cast this kind of magic array. ”
Quesa retorted with a finger pointing at the runes of the magic circle on the parchment drawing, they had never seen such ancient runes before.
――――
While they were arguing, I suddenly remembered something when I looked at this magic array.
(Not a goblin...) Not orcs, not Titans, not elves and dwarves... Not even human ...... )
Could it be ......?!
After hearing the conversation between Elder Black Frame and these old men, I remembered a few things......
In the cave where I first met Elder Blackframe, the totem on the rock wall... On it are carved motifs of different races......
Goblins living in the underworld, orcs made up of ancient tribes, Titans of gigantic size, elves dancing around the World Tree, humans stationed in castles in the realm of dwarves in the mountains and mountains......
Wait a minute... I seem to have forgotten something......
On the rock wall carved with the totem on it. I vaguely remember a powerful and terrifying race that flew in the sky, flying higher than the elves, and their bodies were unusually strong.
(The content of this council is... Something about the last Red Flame Earth Dragon battle...... )
Red Flame Earth Dragon?...... Earthworm?... Dragon?!
I think it was at this point that the image of the race came to mind, and the totems on the rock wall at that time depicted two dragons with completely different appearances.
One resembles a Chinese dragon, while the other is a lizard with huge wings. Its form is extremely terrifying, and it seems to me that it looks like the Western magic dragon in novels, comics, and movies.
On the totems on the rock wall, they are extremely oppressive above the other races.
――――
As I watched the black frame and the old men still chattering and discussing, I mustered up the courage to express my opinion.
"Elder Black Frame, I have something to say. ”
I patted the black-framed elder on the shoulder with my left hand and said, "My voice is not loud but audible."
Hearing my speech, the black frame looked back at me with some blankness.
"What do you want to talk about, Tut?" said Dill as he stopped talking to his old friends and asked me with some confusion.
"Since this magic circle is not our goblins, orcs, titans, elves and dwarves, and humans, will this magic circle be...... What about the dragons?"
Looking at the black-framed elder and these old men, I expressed my opinion word by word.
By the time I had finished, the entire council room fell silent. The faces of the black-framed elders and the old men became quite serious, and the shamans who were standing silently swallowed the saliva in their throats.
"Hahahaha~"
Suddenly, Joel laughed, a look of disbelief in his expression.
"Hahaha-Tut, you're joking......" Joel said to me with a rather unnatural laugh.
"Shut up!"
Before Joel could say anything more, a gloomy Tap interrupted him.
"It seems... I don't know, this magic array was really made by the dragon clan. Dill sighed deeply at what I had just said.
"But... Aren't the dragon clans in the Purton Continent?!What are they?!" Qiong Lang said with some excitement.
"Don't you realize yet? This is space magic, and there should be a small number of old dragons who can teleport over long distances. The black frame said to everyone present with a solemn expression.
"Didn't the dragons live on the continent of Puton for thousands of years......?
"Nonsense!How could the dragons not have ambitions!Maybe they will plunder the continent of Heras again in the future......"
Tap said angrily, a worried look on his face.
"There's no way around that, we can only take one step at a time. Joel pouted his hands and said helplessly.
"Someone has to break this pattern, otherwise the Hellas continent will be ruined by then......" Kuroku said in deep thought with his right hand on his chin.
"I know what you mean......"
Dill patted the black-framed shoulder with his hand and said that he looked at me meaningfully, and I felt a little uncomfortable at the sight of this gaze.
After a while, the council was over, and the shamans in the council room left the place.
Now in this council room, it's just me and these eight old men here (the black frame is also among them.) )。
"Tut, come and meet my old friend. I said to the black frame as I stood there with some muna.
"Good. ”
I nodded to the black-framed elders and the old men, and said politely.
"This is Diel, my old friend. One of the elders of the clan. Black Frame pointed to the old man beside me and introduced it to me.
"Hello, Tut. ”
Dill waved to me and said hello.
"Hello. I replied with a smile.
"This is Tapu, one of my friends. He has a bit of a foul temper (whispering), and he's also an elder of the clan. ”
When the black frame introduced the old man, he couldn't help but snicker.
"Who's hot-tempered?!" Tap said with an angry look at him when he heard the black-framed words.
"But I'll give you a lot of advice later, boy. ”
When Tap saw my restrained face, he smiled heartily and said. He extended his left hand to me as a gesture of friendship.
"Please advise. I hurriedly stretched out my right hand and held his left hand, and said respectfully.
"This is Joel, and he's easy-going. He is also an elder of the clan. The black box then introduced me to another old man.
"Yo, young shaman. Let's do our best. Joel said with a smile at me.
"Hmm!"
I nodded to the old man with a firm expression.
"This is the ...... of Quesa"
The black frame then introduced me to the rest of the old men one by one, and he smiled heartily when he saw my serious and determined expression.
After these old men and I gradually got to know each other, I realized that all of these old men here were clan elders without exception.
"You ...... Are they all elders?!" I asked the old man sitting on the eight stone chairs in some surprise.
"Of course, in front of you is the clan elder of our clan. Hearing my question, Dill looked at me in surprise and smiled.
"That's really surprising to me......"
Looking at the elders in front of me with steady faces, I subconsciously swallowed my saliva.
"What's so surprising about that? You're still too young. Joel snickered when he saw my somewhat restrained gesture.
"I heard that you are the youngest warrior leader in our clan, and Tut is not bad. ”
Seeing the medal on my leather armor, Tapu thought of what had happened some time ago, and praised me heartily.
After chatting with the elders for a while, the black-framed elder suddenly put his right hand on my shoulder. It looked like he had something to say to me......
"Tut and I have decided to teach you together, which means that your days of learning magic will not be easy. You...... Is there anything you want to say?" said the black frame, looking at me rather seriously.
After hearing what Elder Black Frame said, my expression became solemn.
(Are these elders going to join the Elder Blackframe to teach me magic?...... But that's not a bad thing. )
I looked at the elders and the black frame, and they looked like they were waiting for my response.
"I can't ask for it!" I said, curling the corners of my mouth slightly and showing a determined smile.
"Hahaha! That's right, Tut I'm very optimistic about your performance!!"
Tapp burst out laughing unabashedly when he heard my reply, for the young shaman was still quite backbone in his eyes.
"So be it. The other elders and the black frame confirmed each other.
"He's learned mid-level magic now, right?" Suddenly, Quesa asked the black frame.
"Yes, not only that, but he also has mastered an elemental fusion magic. The black box responded flatly to Kesa's question.
Hearing the black frame's words, the faces of these elders all showed a little surprise.
"Are you saying that this kid has mastered the magic of elemental fusion?" said Deeir, somewhat incredulous.
"Yes. The black box replied affirmatively to Deere's rhetorical question.
“... Genius, you've learned magic to this extent at such a young age......" Joel said with an approving look at me.
Listening to the words of the elders, I remembered the doubts and puzzles in my heart.
"That's... Elders, what does it mean to be chosen?"
When they heard my question, the faces of the elders were serious, flat, or smiling, and they all looked at me without exception.
"Hmph~ You'll know this later. ”
When the black frame looked at me in front of him, he said with a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
