Dragon Order of Flame Vol 1 Chapter 2.2

“….You want me to learn magic?”

Luke asked with a priceless face.

A person needed to have the innate inability to learn magic. Only those born with magic were able to learn it, and one must be impressively intelligent to even amount to anything. Luke wasn’t able to fulfill any one of the two requisites.

Once Luke pointed these out, Volkar responded.

< p="">

“Hmmm, magic huh……Alright, It’ll be good to learn if it’s something that can help me in my quest to kill you.”

“As long as you understand.”

With Luke puffing out through his nose and laughing, Volkar added.

“Your past self was in a crazed state and stupid enough to walk into a trap, but the strength you had was enormous. If I can weaken you, I will definitely do it.”

As Luke spoke those words, he grabbed the gla.s.s of milk. After staring at the gla.s.s for a little while, he took a gulp of it.

Luke didn’t swallow the milk but played with it in his mouth. As expected, there was sort of shocking feeling inside of his mouth.

Luke frowned, opened the window, and spat the milk out. He also threw away the remaining of what was left in the milk.

“This is not food that a human being should eat.”

Luke flinched with Volkar’s words.

“Are you able to share my senses?”

< p="">

“I’m not happy about this.” mumbled Luke.

However, not only to share thoughts and feelings, now Volkar could share his senses……Luke knew there was nothing he could do so he changed the subject.

“Volkar, I asked you how many years back we came right?”

“Yeah, I certainly remember now. That one maid from earlier was Mary, and the taste of the milk…..This is one of the memories I will never forget.”

This day was the day that Luke experienced something horrible and would never forget it for the rest of his life. That’s why he was vaguely able to remember the maid named Mary.

“We came back 22 years. The last time I fought you, I was 37 years old. It was August 4th, 699. I am currently 15 years old and we are in Earl Astal’s castle. Should be around April right now, but I’m not sure on the date.”

Luke made a bitter smile as he lifted up at piece of bread. As he stared at the piece of bread, his memories started to return little by little. These memories made him angry and he bit his lips. As if to release his frustration, Luke ripped up the bread into many pieces and threw it out the window.

“I’m not sure about the bread, but the milk for sure has a weak poison in it. If my memories are correct, this day should have been the one week mark since I came to this castle. I remember I drank Mary’s milk filled with poison and ended up having diarrhea all day.”

To be honest, Luke’s memories wasn’t great enough to be able to remember everything clearly. However, the pain he had to go through after coming to his castle could be remembered. Especially the fact that this was the first time in his life where he ended up consuming poison.

“That’s why I ended up looking like a corpse when I met my father. Because of it, I think his impression of me was bad…….Although I’m not completely sure about it. Any who, it’s one of the memories I’m remembering.

Luke was angry as he thought back to those days.

There was another thing he remembered.

Three days after arriving at the castle, Luke met his half brother and heir of the family, Marvin. Luke was caught, insulted, and beaten everywhere except his face. He was in so much pain that he could not drink water until the next day.

‘Why did it have to be 15 years old……’

Volkar asked the frowning Luke.

“It’s quite confusing.”

Luke lay on his bed as he pondered about his past.
