A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 248

 

“…My condolences, Master’s father.”

 

Marbas said with his lion ears drooping back.

 

“What condolences.”

 

Tesetan replied with a dry expression.

 

Looking back, it was a predetermined misfortune.

 

“It was my mistake. It happened because I made the wrong judgment.”

 

It was the only foreign land where the only support was neighbors.

 

There, Tie kept growing bigger and bigger.

 

No way back to Talochium was visible, and Tesetan couldn’t bear the impatience.

 

In his absence, it was even more so when he saw the child growing mature.

 

“…I was irresponsible. I shouldn’t have died like that.”

 

Marbas fidgeted restlessly and cast his gaze downward.

 

Ardiana was silently staring at Tesetan.

 

At that moment, Veil intervened.

 

“Enough. It’s not like you went knowing you’d die.”

 

Tesetan raised his head to look at Veil.

 

“Then what more could you do there? I would have done the same as you, Regent. To survive with just the child in such a place…”

 

Silence continued in the room.

 

Tesetan, who had kept his mouth tightly shut for a moment, muttered.

 

“…Right. Regretting it now won’t change anything.”

 

“Exactly! What happened after that was actually more important!”

 

Marbas slyly interjected.

 

“After what happened in Jongno-gu, Master discovered something in her father’s keepsake box. It was a black stone. At first, it had a string attached in the form of a necklace, right?”

 

Tesetan narrowed his brow.

 

“…Right. I attached a string to keep it out of Tie’s reach. I always carried it with me.”

 

Tesetan thought Tie should not come into contact with the necklace.

 

Because he kept thinking about the moment they crossed over to South Korea.

 

He hesitantly opened his mouth.

 

“That stone, Lucalion ultimately saved the child. But…”

 

“He also swept away all of Trebaga. He killed me, Aleric, and all the other unit members, so how could you put that in the young lady’s hands?”

 

Livia, who had been leaning against the doorway, stepped forward.

 

As Livia said, Lucalion was an existence that had annihilated an entire mercenary group.

 

For Tesetan, who didn’t know he had committed massacre due to a rampage, it was natural to lack confidence.

 

“I judged him a dangerous factor. There would be nothing good about letting him touch the child.”

 

Marbas nodded his head.

 

“I understand completely.”

 

But the reality was different.

 

Lucalion was sleeping inside the Mastone, having forgotten everything as the price for opening the dimensional gate.

 

To awaken such a Lucalion, specific holy power was needed.

 

“Probably the holy power of the World Tree, who is the lord and source of all power, was needed.”

 

A short sigh flowed from Ardiana’s mouth.

 

She looked at Tie, who seemed more relaxed than before, and asked.

 

“…So when the child touched the stone, Lucalion awakened?”

 

Marbas nodded his head.

 

“Correct. Lucalion probably felt strong attachment to Master as soon as he awakened. It’s natural. Master is the World Tree. Lucalion, being her subordinate, is an existence that can only submit to her.”

 

Basto closed his mouth.

 

He recalled Lucalion’s figure hovering around Tie throughout their mercenary group activities.

 

Lucalion’s world revolved around Tie.

 

He only obeyed Tie’s commands and only listened to Tie’s words.

 

“Lucalion opening the dimensional gate again was ultimately in that same context.”

 

When Lucalion had just awakened at the Resting Couch.

 

Tie was crying, having lost her father.

 

What Lucalion could do for the child left alone in a strange place was limited.

 

“There was exactly one thing Master wanted from Lucalion.”

 

“…”

 

“To see her departed father again. To erase all that despair and loss, and turn back time to the past when her father was alive.”

 

Marbas’s words became faster.

 

“So Lucalion opened the dimensional gate once more. The power he had barely recovered at the Resting Couch. He exhausted all the power he temporarily received from Master. That way, he could bring Master to the past Talochium.”

 

Marbas looked at each of the unit members surrounding him one by one.

 

“Finding a more suitable time and more suitable place would have been difficult. You too must have been confused due to incomplete memories. Think about it.”

 

“…”

 

“The last memory in Talochium. What you dimly saw and heard at the Resting Couch. The existence of Master who moves you. With everything mixed up, would you have had the presence of mind to consider the best and second-best options?”

 

Aleric nodded.

 

“…Right. So that’s why he showed such a reaction. When Livia remembered everything first.”

 

The basement of the old palace.

 

Livia, who regained her memory after receiving Tie’s holy power, pointed her sword at Lucalion as soon as she saw him.

 

‘What the hell did you do to the young lady?! It was you that day too! The one who annihilated us at Elderin Plains…!’

 

For her, everything had finally become vivid.

 

But Lucalion showed no resistance to Livia.

 

With a confused face, he listened to her words until the end, then only added one sentence at the last moment.

 

‘I can’t live without Astie.’

 

‘That’s the only thing I can answer.’

 

“He must have been sincere.”

 

Marbas muttered.

 

“Because that’s what it means to become someone’s subordinate.”

 

Krazaar calling Astie mother and following her.

 

Seraldin being favorable to Tie when they met in Pearl City.

 

In the end, everything was in the same context.

 

“The problem is that when Master and Lucalion returned to this world, the Pope noticed something.”

 

The air grew heavy at the word ‘Pope’.

 

“The Pope was continuously tracking Lucalion. Since the World Tree had lost some power, he probably intended to cut off all her hands and feet to control her completely. But.”

 

As Marbas’s eyes glowed red, the panorama of Briowood Forest unfolded before everyone.

 

Tie, who had arrived in Talochium, was wandering with Lucalion among the densely wooded trees.

 

“The aura of Lucalion, which he had been continuously tracking, suddenly cut off one day.”

 

Although she carried the World Tree’s seed in her chest, Tie was ultimately an ordinary child.

 

Because her body was human.

 

But Lucalion was different.

 

“Lucalion is a demigod-level existence. He’s strictly different from mortals. He’s someone who lives eternally unless there’s a major catastrophe, so even though he came to the past through a gap in time, his existence didn’t split.”

 

If his existence had split, Lucalion should be two at this moment.

 

The Lucalion who originally existed in the past.

 

And the Lucalion who returned with Tie from the future.

 

But the fact that Lucalion was ultimately one meant.

 

“Damn, it’s annoyingly complex, but I roughly understand what you’re saying.”

 

Veil narrowed his eyes.

 

“So the Kamang that should have originally existed was replaced by the Kamang from the future, and from the Pope’s perspective, it looks like Kamang’s energy disappeared?”

 

“Exactly!”

 

Complex magical formula blueprints and runic characters appeared before Marbas’s eyes.

 

“When the World Tree created the seed, what she put the most effort into was concealing it elaborately. Even the Pope wouldn’t be able to perfectly track the seed. But by staying by Master’s side, Lord Lucalion also received that benefit!”

 

The World Tree’s seed that Tie possessed had its energy hidden.

 

The reason the Pope couldn’t approach faster was ultimately because he couldn’t track them down.

 

“Luciano must have thought something was definitely wrong! Lord Lucalion disappeared. Instead, a Sorcerer King with unprecedented magical attributes awakened.”

 

Veil and Basto’s gazes met.

 

Marbas made a groaning sound and rubbed his temples.

 

“If my prediction is correct, he definitely would have attached spies or informants to Master. He would have needed to confirm whether Master was really just an ordinary mage.”

 

“….”

 

“Moreover, he would have been curious about whether Master was related to Lord Lucalion or the World Tree, but the fact that there’s been no particular movement until now….”

 

“…There was movement.”

 

Basto, who had been silent the whole time, muttered.

 

Everyone looked at him.

 

“There was. From when Tie arrived here until recently… someone who continuously watched over Tie from nearby.”

 

Basto slowly raised his gaze.

 

Just before he opened his reluctant lips to say that name.

 

“Grandfather…?”

 

A small voice came from the direction of the bed.

 

When they quickly turned their gaze, Tie had gotten up from her spot and was looking down at the blanket with a dazed expression.

 

“Nordics, Grandfather….”

 

The child’s lips pressed tightly together.

 

Her eyelashes trembled and tears welled up in her big eyes.

 

“It was Grandfather….”

 

“….”

 

“That’s why he suddenly disappeared….”
