Return of The 8th Class Mage Chapter 108:
“What the…… . ” . Jackson was surprised .
The three servants who caught that traveler became nothing but flesh in a blink . This wind just blew out of no where and bang! something exploded .
Jackson and the servants were puzzled .
“It, it, can’t be······!” They exclaimed .
It didn’t take long for them to figure things out, and as they figured what happened fear was the only thing left . That situation itself was something more to say than just a puzzling situation .
“Ma, ma, ma, magician······?”
The only word that can explain this whole scene is ‘Magic’ . Which can only mean that this light brown-haired traveler is a ‘magician’ .
“Ah, ah, ahhhhhhh!”
Everyone realized what was happening . Jackson the leader also realized that . But what are they to do to realize that now? They were already in the hands of Ian the great wizard .
“If you don’t want to die . ” Ian said .
Ian’s voice was loud and clear .
His voice was filled with mana .
“Don’t move . ”
That was enough .
Everyone froze .
Jackson, and all 16 servents .
They didn’t want to die .
“I’m going to ask some questions now, doesn’t matter who answers . Tell me everything you know for the sake of yourselves . Understand?” Ian asked .
Everyone nodded with fear .
“Cleven, tell me everything about that kid . Where you met him, why he’s helping you and how you knew about his special ability . Anything is good . ”
With that everyone burst out with answers . Each one of them started to tell every bit of information .
They were desperate to live .
“He, he was just a tramp with no memories . ”
“Everyday he was a, a different person . ”
“At first, since he’s young and quite pretty, we were planning to sell him to the nobility with those particular taste but······ . ”
“As he was insane no one would have him······ . ”
“We just left him alone and he started to make this statue······ . ”
“He only made dragon shaped ones . ”
“It, it was very mystical . ”
“Light and sound came out of the statue······ . ”
“S, so······ . ”
They all had different answers .
But everything seemed true .
Since the story was flowing smoothly .
“In short······ . ”
To sort out what they said,
Jackson and his crew were traffickers selling all kinds of slaves to the nobility .
As they were looking for humans to sell, they found Cleven a boy who had no memory . At first they were planning to sell him to the nobility who would be interested in a pretty boy like him, but his DID was a problem .
‘Then he started to made the dragon statue . ’ Ian thought .
And that came out to be something more than anyone could imagine .
A magical statue that lights up and makes sounds, this was it . Jackson was sick of living like a dog of the nobility and royalties, and right then an idea that would make them live as the royalties sparked in his mind .
‘And he plotted a plan . ’ Ian thought .
From then Jackson and his crew plotted a plan .
They started a cult in a small village . That village was Bordon which was suffering from famine and plundering . They introduced themselves as ‘Dragon priests’, showed the dragon statue, and supported the village with food and clothing . It was a good start .
‘From then everything would have gone smooth and fast . ’
Just like that they took over the village . Since they also bribed the noble family who was in charge of managing the village, the village was literally there own independent place .
“Hmm . ”
Ian thought with his arms folded .
That was the end of their story .
They didn’t seem to know where Cleven was from or who he was .
“Please save us······ . ”
“Please spare our lives! Please······ . ”
“Just once, this once······ . ”
They plead .
In a firm voice Ian replied,
“That’s not enough . ”
That was like a bolt from the blue for Jackson and his crew . How can that not be enough, they told him everything they knew . Not one lied as they wanted to live .
“Something feels missing . ” Ian said .
“There, there’s nothing else to······ . ” Jackson said .
“Speak . Think of something . ” Ian demanded .
“Th, th, th, that, is······ . ”
Jackson and his crew started to stutter .
Everyone stared at Jackson .
He was still the leader .
They were all hoping him to do something .
“That······ that is······ . ” Jackson stuttered .
“Guess that’s it . ” Ian said .
“F, F, Fran! Fran!” Jackson exclaimed .
“······?”
Ian’s face hardened with Jackson’s reply .
Fran was a familiar word . The question is though, why would that come out now? It was a word no one would expect to hear at this situation .
“······tell me more . ” Ian said .
“That, that boy sometimes spoke in a normal state . I only saw it once, but he said it then! He asked where F, Fran was, that he didn’t need eternal life . I did ignore him as he seemed crazy······ . ”
It’s even a person’s name .
Yes, Fran is a common name .
It can be seen easily in any country .
If there was a problem though, even if it’s a common name .
‘My dead······ father’s name . ’ Ian thought .
Was that it’s his dead father’s name . His father’s name was surely ‘Fran Page’ .
A man who named his son ‘Ian’ only because he thought that a simple name is good, Ian was also a common name .
‘Why does it have to be my father’s name······?’ Ian thought .
Of course, it might just be a coincidence . As it is a common name . But still his heart was beating .
Was it because his dad’s name came up all of a sudden? He couldn’t calm down .
‘Father was······ . ’
Ian knew only a few things about his father .
Only that his name was Fran Page, and that he always emphasized the name ‘Page’ though he wasn’t a nobility, and that he met his mom and ended his adventurer life, and······ that he was very ugly that people called him an ‘orc’ .
“······ . ”
As Ian was quiet, Jackson and his crew tried to read his face . Was he going to spare their lives now? They were filled with hope .
“Anything else?” Ian asked .
“There, there’s nothing now . That was everything we could think of! For real! Please trust us!”
Jackson bowed down and plead .
So did the crew .
They did their best as to live .
But .
“I will trust you . ” Ian said .
“Th, thank you! Really thank······ . ”
“but I never said I’ll spare your lives . ” Ian said .
“······?”
Jackson and his crew were confused .
Soon they understood what Ian meant .
He had no intention of sparing their lives .
“You, you son of a bithch······!” Jackson screamed .
“That would be you . ” Ian replied .
And that was it .
Everything was all cleared up .
Jackson and his 16 servants .
Their long and dirty life were gone .
Not one single drop of blood, nor a piece of flesh .
