The Second Son of The Marquis Runs Away from Home ~ Lacking Talent, He Abandons Everything and Becomes an Adventurer ~ - 139

Chapter 139: Invitation from Ancient Times

“Sealed Lowd…?”

I repeated the words I was told, unable to believe such a thing.

I knew firsthand how powerful Lowd was. He was a man with enough strength to stand against the world alone.

To hear that there were individuals who had sealed him for at least hundreds of years was an unbelievable story. But if he had been sealed, it would explain why Lowd existed in the present day.

Sealing techniques are advanced and can maintain the condition of the target. If Lowd was sealed, it would explain why he appeared unchanged and why his abilities seemed undiminished.

“…Honestly, I’m still skeptical, but there are some connections that come to mind. But if so, why was the seal released?”

“This is what I heard from him, but apparently, the sealing technique he used was activated by using himself as a catalyst. The price for it is not light, and what was achieved was simply awakening before Lowd when the seal was released.”

“Can’t it be sealed again?”

“At present, it’s impossible. According to him, sealing Lowd was achieved through a miraculous opening and the convergence of countless coincidences. Now, due to the price, he cannot leave the dungeon.”

“Why were you looking for the Chaos Crusader?”

“I don’t know the details… but he said that without the cooperation of the Chaos Crusader and its owner, the world would be filled with corpses by Lowd and his companions.”

“…”

“If you find it hard to believe, then so be it, but he asked me to give this to you.”

Shurin took something out of her pocket and handed it to me. It was worn-out but still shining golden adventurer tag.

“W-What…”

I was shocked by the name engraved on the tag. Aria and Serena also peered in and showed expressions of disbelief.

“Eh… This can’t be true, right? Even I know this name.”

“B-But it doesn’t look like a fake…”

I gathered magic power in my fingertips and touched the tag, but it was repelled by the magic placed on it to prevent forgery.

“…At the very least, this tag is genuine.”

The magic engraved on the adventurer tag was kept confidential by the Adventurer’s Guild, and it was a highly unlikely possibility of technological leakage due to numerous magical constraints imposed on it.

“Elford Warren…”

I muttered the name engraved on the tag, which was, in a sense, a figure as famous as Lowd.

Elford Warren was an adventurer who had been active in the same era as Lowd. If Lowd was considered the strongest warrior, then he was a figure renowned as the strongest magician.

His wisdom in delving into magic’s depths and his mastery of it earned him both fear and respect, leading to him being called a “mage” who surpassed the principles of magic.
