The Magic Soup
.
Very mystical and plot heavy with connections of their reasons.
Ch 43 hmm so according to the icy fox who found main and mains talk with an old man who was the former ice magician, old man tricked sorcerer to become the new ice mage and the curse of the frozen heart.
Ch 39-40 the story of both mains family past and the sorcerers past curse
Ch 35 recap, sorcerer is cursed that bc he has no heart, if he loves then he will break. Main heard his confession, after they fought, and his body breaking, he asked the toad what to do. Toad says sorcerer needs to be melted down, meaning high heat and main is the new fire magician so he needs to accept his role and fix sorcerer. He fixed him but has to go since he's a fire magician. Sorcerer woke up but doesn't remember
Ch 27 fire toad servant came to the sorcerers palace and found main with the fire scent and explain what it means to kill a fire magician and the new title main has as the new fire magician
Ch 23 main accidentally killed a fire magician in his lizard form. Some politics where the rain princess and fire dragon r at war and they both try to win over sorcerer for their gain. Sorcerer just likes to be entertained and he gave an item to rains group in exchange they kill one of their own. Fire magician wasn't happy and went to leave back in the fire in the kitchen. Main was spooked and accidentally killed him to stop it from escaping. Apparently if u kill a fire magician, their magic gets transferred over to u. Sorcerer told a white lie that it's a curse and to counter it, main needs to stay with sorcerer with his high affinity to ice to remain human. It's partial truth but it isn't a curse but magic powers that do transfer over, sorcerer just wants main to be next to him closer
Ch 9 recap, I think sorcerer didn't kill main bc sorcerer can detect human greed as a bad stench. He liked how useful main was in cooking and had him sign to be a chef for 5 yrs. The golden apple tree can only be harvested by the sorcerer
