Yeahh I can see that happening.
Maybe it was also serving a purpose of locating him. If Brian with his immense mana was born in Derwin he would be treated as an anomaly and easier to find(?)
I personally don't think that Lorkan killed Brian to have his next incarnation...seems pretty soap opera types to me so like you said it may have to do with magic but we'll see
YES TYSM. I miss ch discussions.
My thought was, maybe he was trying to do similar to Lorkan as he did with Sol in the beginning and get him to view humans differently. The easiest way is through himself maybe?
Not sure. I’m very curious why Lorkan developed an obsession with Brian to the point where he was at as the cardinal. Cuz the country he made surely isn’t great for Ian, so it must have something to do with whatever happens between them now leading up to Brian’s death, and like Lorkan’s previous convo with Rularch when he said he’d want his human in a cage they could leave but refuse to (or whatever it was).
CHAPTER PLOT DISCUSSION: (If anyone still does it)
Idg what Brian's plan was. Was it to anger Lorkan into a fight so he can learn more about mana that way through their duel cuz ain't no way was Lorkan teaching him if he asked.
If that was it then it was wayy too reckless (atleast one thing that didn't change after reincarnation lol)
+ The countries who "oppose" magic and dragon as a rules as stated in 87. I wonder if that has something to do with Darwin that Lorkan supposedly formed for Ian. Like is a non magic only goddess worshipping nation still here or that only formed after all of this cuz atp it seems magic and mana is pretty accepted by almost all nations.
+ raw spoilers (the way lorkan is getting jealous of Sol lmao just wait 2 ch guys you'll see beginnings of envvyy)
