nThe Great Mage Returns after 4000 Years – Chapter 27 – Dungeon, Inheritance, The King of the Mountains (2)

nTranslator: Seven

n“That’s correct.”

nSchweiser smiled faintly and then the smoke disappeared.

nKrrr.

nThe huge door then began opening slowly. Frey, who was one step away from it, stood there and watched this happen.

nFinally, the inside of the dungeon was revealed. However, Frey didn’t seem the least bit happy about it.

n“…”

nThe huge room behind the door was empty.

n

n

nNo, it wasn’t empty.

nThere were two metal figures standing there that seemed to be made from an unknown metal.

nThey were Iron Golems.

nBut these weren’t something that could be taken away because they were, in essence, the guardians of the dungeon.

nThey were so powerful that even Frey might not be able to defeat them.

nOriginally, this room should have been some powerful spells, magic research notes or amazing equipment.

nFrey had thought that no one had visited this place before, but he had forgotten to factor in the fact that it had been there for 4,000 years.

n“I don’t even know when they were taken.”

nFrey paused as he looked around quietly.

n‘This space…was it so small?’

nWhen he had checked from the island, the dungeon had appeared to be much larger than what he was seeing.

nAs he looked around in confusion, his gaze was drawn to another door on the other side of the large room.

nOn the right side of the huge door, which looked just like the one he’d just opened, was another marble.

nFrey approached this marble and infused it with his mana.

nPshhh.

nThen just like before, the smoke once again poured out before taking the shape of a grey haired figure.

nSchweiser had reappeared.

nThe only difference was that this time he appeared to have aged a bit.

nThe first illusion had been that of a boy, this time, he appeared as a young man.

n“Then for the second question.”

n“The second question?”

n“Ah, I might not have explained it properly. The further you go inside, the greater the legacy you will obtain. And keep in mind that you can only remove one item.”

nSchweiser didn’t actually respond to him.

nIt was just that the timing of his question had been so perfect that it seemed as though they were actually having a conversation.

nSchweiser pointed toward the Iron Golems.

n“I won’t be responsible if you decide to break this rule. I might be able to forgive you, but they definitely wouldn’t allow it.”

nThen he gave a bright smile.

n“If you’re wrong then you’ll be sent out immediately, so there’s no need to be nervous.”

n* * *

n“Then let’s move on to the question.”

nAt that moment Frey began to feel a bit nervous.

nHe felt that he knew a lot of things about Schweiser but he didn’t know if he could be said to know everything.

nEveryone had something that they might not want to reveal.

nThis was the same for Lucas who was called the Great Mage and Schweiser who was hailed as the Sage.

n“The Black Witch. Iris Phisfounder1. I really disliked that woman.”

n“…”

nIt was a very random statement.

nFrey tilted his head slightly in confusion.

nHe knew that Iris and Schweise didn’t particularly like each other but…

n‘Was there a problem with Iris?’

nFrey narrowed his eyes slightly.

nThat woman seemed to personify the word riddle. She liked to hide away and she was even good at it.

nWhile Frey was contemplating seriously, Schweiser continued.

n“She pretended not to care while we were running around and saving the world. At the start, I really disliked that witch because I couldn’t understand her way of thinking. Did she really have to fall in love right before the continent would become a sea of fire?”

n“Hoo…”

nThis was interesting.

nFrey began to recall Iris.

nShe was a woman who always wore a mysterious smile which went perfectly with her dark hair. He’d never known if she tried to seduce because she was truly sex starved, or if it was just her character as a witch.

nBut what did he mean there was a man that Iris liked?

nThere was never any gossip about her having a relationship in their group of friends.

n“Lucas, that stone headed bastard. He was the only one who could never see that she was blatantly flirting with him.”

n“…huh?”

nFrey’s face became a little pale at those words.

n“What are you talking about…”

n“Like I said, I really disliked Iris, but when I saw Lucas’ face, who didn’t even raise an eyebrow at her obvious affection, even I got mad at him. I’m sure a Stone Golem would have noticed it faster than him.”

n“…”

nWhile Frey was still in shock from the revelation after 4,000 years, Schweiser continued speaking in a leisure tone.

n“Ah. My mouth is sore. If I kept talking like this I’d feel bad, so that’s all for that little chat. Anyway, about this woman named Iris. There were three powerful demons that she was contracted to. Among them, there was one who held a different weapon in each hand, and represented the existence of good and evil…”

n“…Asura.”

n“That’s correct!”

nKrrr.

nThe huge door slowly opened and dust rose.

nSchweiser’s figure once again disappeared after giving a bright smile.

nInstead of stepping forward, Frey hesitated while wearing a complex expression.

n‘…don’t tell me he is going to keep going like this?’

nIt felt like sneaking a peek at his friend’s diary.

nWhether to go in or not.

nFrey was seriously feeling troubled.

n* * *

nThe next room was also very large, but unlike the first room, it was not empty.

nHowever, there was only one thing that seemed to be a magic item.

nBracelet of Perpetual Snow

nIt was a magic tool that let the user cast the 7 star spell ‘Blizzard’ once a week.

nIt could be called an amazing item.

nYet Frey passed it immediately without a second glance.

nIt was not what he wanted.

nFrey approached yet another door.

nAfter infusing his mana, Schweiser appeared again.

nA cheerful smile was on his face and he appeared to be a few years old.

n“Then the next question…”

n“…”

nThe dungeon was very long. Fortunately, there was no question that Frey was unable to answer.

nHowever, most of the questions were not things that many people would know.

nHe knew Schweiser was weird, but Frey hadn’t expected him to make the questions in his dungeon like this.

nThey had nothing to do with magical knowledge.

nWhen he arrived in the fifth room, Schweiser spoke again.

n“You’re the first to have come this far.”

nThat was right.

nIn this room there were Schweisers many magic items, spells and research books that would be extremely valuable if taken outside.

nThere were even martial arts books and scrolls that could be used by knights or magical martial artists.

n‘Lava Shoes, Flying Cloak, Iron Golem’s Summoning Stone, Moonlight Sword…’

nEven if it was a wizard, mercenary or knight, the items that they could find here were things that they would even sell their souls for.

nHowever, Frey only continued walking as he took a glance at them.

nPassing through the room.

nPassing through.

nPassing through again.

nAt one point, Frey had lost count of just how many rooms he had gone through.

n‘This is the tenth room.’

n“This is the last room.”

nSchweiser was wearing his usual smile but Frey couldn’t help but stare at him.

nThis was a Schweiser that he had never seen.

nThe long white beard, the numerous wrinkles and now his white robe seemed to match his overall appearance.

nWhen Frey had seen Schweiser last, he was only middle aged.

nHe had never seen his old friend this ‘old’.

nFrey couldn’t help but mutter even though he knew that Schweiser couldn’t hear him.

n“But this means that you lived longer than I did.”

nFrey’s body died at the age of fifty and his soul was trapped in the abyss.

nNow, Schweiser appeared to be in his 70s. His previous mischievous attitude was nowhere to be seen.

nHe was still smiling happily, but now it appeared more like the kind smile of the elderly.

nFrey listened to what Schweiser had to say.

n“Lucas Traumen.”

nAt those words, Frey’s body shook.

nBecause his name was called in a voice that seemed to contain an indescribable sense of sadness.

n“Standing at the top of the world by the age of forty, the Great Mage! The master who received the respect of everyone in the world! Being able to be his friend is one of the things I’m most proud of in my life.”

n“…me too.”

nFrey’s lips twitched and he felt an itch in his eye.

n“I do too.”

n“I will give you the last question. What is my real name?”

n“…!”

nFrey shuddered.

nHe felt like Schweiser was smiling and looking at him.

n‘This question…’

nMaybe in the entire world, only ‘Lucas’ would know the answer to that question.

nAt that time, Frey truly began to feel like Schweiser was looking at him.

nLike he was looking at him with an expectant gaze.

n“Schweiser Wilsemann.”

nSchweiser let out a laugh.

nIt was bright and refreshing.

n“That’s correct. And…everything inside is for you.”

n“Did you know? Wait.”

n

n

nFrey, with a voice filled with longing, hurriedly asked. Knowing that his voice could never reach.

nSchweiser still smiled and moved his lips.

n“…”

n“What was that?”

nFrey could not hear the words.

nSchweiser’s figure slowly disappeared like a ghost.
