Chapter 16 (2/2)
Mages were fearful existences to people
He acted carefully
“Can you really… can you really cure my father?”
“I promise”
“Really?”
“Really”
“Then… You are my captain now!”
“Huh?”
Captain
What a cute hich suits a young kid
In his forer and hate
“Alright Call me like that then”
“Yes! Captain!”
The conversation between young son and Ian who acted like a mature man
While Ledio listened to this weird conversation, he pulled so
It was a flask with a long lid
“This is ift”
Ledio handed it to Ian
Ian gently shook the flask
“So is in here”
It was a flask filled with an unidentified liquid
Would it be the elixir he had brewed?
But normally, elixir wouldn’t be contained in such a flask
“It’s an alcohol”
“Alcohol?”
“I drank it with the other ht, and that’s the last one…”
Although Ian acted like ive alcohol to a kid?
“Well, I’ it’s real alcohol Actually, it is alcohol, but …… What should I say”
“Alcohol that’s good for your body?”
Douglas tried to help his father
However, It wasn’t a description that Ledio wanted
“It is sort of… a half elixir”
“Hmm, half elixir”
“What do you mean ‘half’?”
“It is good for your body but it tastes like alcohol”
“Then it won’t make me drunk?”
“It makes you drunk”
Then isn’t it alcohol?
“But its effect I guarantee Unlike standard elixir that increases your power in the long terives immediate effect……”
Ledio added a long description
It was the new side of Ledio which he hadn’t shown to Ian before
Maybe this was his real character
It also proved that he decided firmly
“Mr Mage!”
Suddenly,
A soldier came to Ian
“A ”
A soldier pointed to the hill outside of the village
Indeed, aa horse
With the Mogrian flag on his back
Clip-clop! Clip-clop! Clip-clop!
The sound of hoofbeats was closing in
Ian walked to the entrance of the village
Other people also followed Ian
“Woah! woah!”
The rider calmed his horse as he saw Ian
By his appearance, He was a province soldier
“Mr Mage”
“You may speak”
“You better hurry to go back to the province castle”
An urgent voice came from the rider
“Is there any problem?”
“The er informed us that the crown prince has passed Garmath river”
“Garmath river? Already?”
“The ”
Not only Ian, but Eric and other soldiers started to make noise
Gar of the north side
It would take only around two days to the province castle
‘Why were they informed so late…’
In common sense, they should inform the castle ten days beforehand, via coh time to prepare to welcome the crown prince
‘I’d better move quickly’
There was not enough tiether
Unless every one of the convoys and Ledio family rode horses
“Please lend me a horse”
After Ian decided, he said to the rider
“Do you kno to ride?”
“I don’t know riding technique, and s are too short”
Ian’s body was too small so he needed a custom saddle
Due to that, the rider asked in confusion
“Then how do you…”
“I will befriend it shortly”
Ian approached the horse while saying that
While petting the horse, Ian cast a spell on it
The ic that made him able to control a peaceful animal
“Ta”
Then, the horse waved its tongue to Ian
Taic started to work
“I will see you there later”
Ian rode the horse immediately
Being honest, he was hanging onto it as strongly as he can
“Sir Eric, please co with the alchemist over there”
“Yeah? Who is he…”
“I thank you See you there”
After Ian asked Eric to escort Ledio and Douglas, he whispered to the horse
“Let’s go to the province castle Will you?”
Prrrrrgghh!
As a reply, the horse whined
It started to run straight to the province castle
There was no need to pull its bridle, nor kick its stomach
“……”
Eric suddenly received Ian’s favor
He gazed at Ledio
Ledio didn’t avoid his eyes
It was a totally aard situation
“My name is Ledio I am an alchemist”
Ledio tried first to get rid of this weird situation
“My naht order”
However, after the greeting, the aardness started again(E/N: cue the tumbleweed)
Eventually, they just looked at Ian’s backside which was getting far
For a long time
