Episode 411 Report (2)
“It wasn’t a mess.”
“is it so? Still, it seems that Mr. Rudger did a good job.”
The president said leisurely, as if he had already heard the news.
Considering Elisa’s intelligence, she should have already roughly grasped the situation.
Still, Rudger, as usual, gave a given answer.
“I didn’t do much. It was only with the help of others that it was resolved safely.”
“Who are the others?”
Elisha didn’t even say to stop being humble anymore.
Instead, in a playful way, he asked, “Who helped Mr. Rudger like that?”
“This is Mage Roina Pavlini.”
“ah. Royna.”
If it was unexpected, it was unexpected, but if it suits you, it was a suitable answer.
Royna Pavlini.
If she, a 6th tier magician, had stepped up, it would be understandable that Ludger had helped.
“But I don’t think that child’s personality would lead to anything?”
Elisa asked a sharp question.
Roina Pavlini is excellent as a mage, but other than that, she was lacking overall.
It was so severe that it made me feel that I had to do that to become the youngest 6th tier.
“There were other wizards besides him. From Derek Olsen to Sempas.”
“aha. There are only people who are all alone. However, the people who caused the problem would not have been unusual.”
“yes. I finished it safely though. Of course, it wasn’t without damage, but considering the scale of what happened, it was nothing short of a miracle.”
In fact, what could be called a miracle happened.
Because the elemental lord of the earth, which had never been observed before, had appeared.
Of course, President Elisa also heard the news faster than anyone else.
“The elemental lord of the earth. I don’t know if this is really the end of the world.”
“I rather believe that the elemental lord prevented the end.”
“That’s why it’s amazing. Because this is how the transcendent existence of Mother Nature appeared. Perhaps because of this incident, next year’s Mystic Night will not be dismantled, and more wizards will gather.”
Did they say that the ground hardens after it rains?
An unprecedented event occurred that almost collapsed the Cassar Basin, but the elemental lord of the earth appeared and stabilized the leyline.
In a dangerous situation, an unbelievable modern version of a miracle has descended.
It’s to the point of being strange that the wizards’ eyes don’t turn upside down.
“Actually, Mr. Rudger doesn’t seem particularly inspired by such things.”
“Because knowing that such an existence exists and observing it doesn’t change anything.”
In the first place, the existence of an elemental lord is like that.
It’s nothing strange if it suddenly appears anywhere, and there’s no way to find it again if it disappears.
In the first place, it far exceeded the laws of physics from moving as if it were swimming on the ground with its huge size.
When a fish jumps out of the water, the surface of the water splashes, but the elemental lord doesn’t even have that.
Literally, it moves slowly as if submerged quietly in a swamp, not even leaving a trace.
How do you go after such an existence?
If I had to guess where it would stay, it would be at least in the crust, if not in the mantle of the planet.
‘But it’s perception, and it’s at a level where I can’t specify where it is.’
This whole land is no different from the field of the elemental lord of the earth.
As a joke, it wouldn’t be strange if there was a nest where it stayed under this Leatherbelk.
From Ludger’s point of view, humans who would pursue the traces of the elemental lord of the earth seemed rather ridiculous.
“Mr. Rudger seems to be skeptical of the study of elemental lords?”
“It is natural. Isn’t it strange to have vain hopes just because a being that has never been observed has once appeared?”
“But it is wizards who are passionate about such things and have vain dreams.”
“That cannot be denied.”
“I’m sure the cities around the Kassar Basin will be spraying all sorts of advertisements, right? The place where the elemental lord of the earth made his first appearance. Cassar Basin. Why not use a catchphrase like this?”
“If the elemental lord of the earth had been more social, he would have sued.”
“Whoops. what is that?”
Elisa laughed, thinking that Rudgar had told a funny joke.
But Rudger was serious.
people don’t know How smart the enemy lords are.
Just because they were derived from Mother Nature itself doesn’t mean they don’t have will.
Rather, they have a high level of intelligence that surpasses humans.
Ludger could feel it with just one eye contact.
The elemental lords of the earth were basically finite personalities.
Should I say that the core is hard like a solid megalith?
Even when he saw Belcart, who had done all that right away, he showed sympathy, so he said it all.
That’s why it’s more dangerous when such a being is angry.
Elemental lords can cause natural disasters if they set their mind to it. And, of course, a natural disaster related to the land is an earthquake.
If you continue to cause earthquakes without revealing yourself in the ground, the only city that can survive on the continent will be 「Isla Machina」, the home of the New Mage Tower.
‘Of course, after this incident, he’ll rarely appear again.’
But the future was not certain.
“Let’s talk more about it than that. Do you know? Recently, the Kadatushan duchy increased the amount of donations given to Ceorn.”
“Is that so.”
“Thanks to this, we have been able to provide a higher quality education to the students of Seorn. Isn’t it really fortunate?”
That’s what he said, but of course there is a hidden meaning behind it.
As much as he pointed out Kadatushan and talked about it, he doubts what kind of deal Rudger and Duke Heyback made when they met.
No, this is not a doubt, it is a certainty.
The timing of Ludger’s journey to the mysterious night and the increased sponsorship from the Duke of Kadatushan were so coincidental that it was impossible to hide them.
In the first place, Duke Hayback had no intention of hiding it.
It was like announcing that ‘I will support Seorn this much’.
“Well, it’s good that we’ve developed a strong alliance from a relationship where we only held hands before, not knowing when we might betray. Wouldn’t it be necessary to speak a little?”
Elisha opened her eyes sharply and asked.
It was more like a little complaint than an accusation.
From the standpoint of the president of Seorn, even if it was a good thing, it was quite disheartening not to hear about it in advance.
Especially when you consider the scale of the work.
Even if it’s a surprise gift, when you suddenly receive something that’s too big, you feel more embarrassed than happy.
When I thought about it, Rudger apologized honestly because he thought it was too much.
“I will be careful in the future.”
“I am not trying to condemn this incident. However, if something similar happens, I think it’s better to give it a word.”
Elisa smiled as she spoke, but her expression showed an expression of fatigue that could not be hidden.
It seems that she has been in a lot of trouble lately because of various things.
Rudger nodded in agreement.
“If something like this happens in the future, I will let you know in advance.”
“thank you.”
“So can I tell you something now?”
“…now?”
Elisa widened her eyes as if she was embarrassed.
It was a little while ago that I asked for an answer in advance, but suddenly here?
Elisha calmed down.
“is it so. Let’s listen first. What is it?”
Even so, it wouldn’t be enough compared to getting closer with the duchy.
That was Elisha’s guess and judgment.
To that response, Rudger pondered for a while on how to respond.
Elisa felt strangely uneasy at the sight of the moxa.
Why is this teacher like this? suddenly?
Rudger, who showed uncharacteristic hesitation, eventually opened his mouth, perhaps making up his mind.
“I would like to request collaboration with Ceorn in relation to natural resource mining in the Kingdom of Utah.”
“yes? Who the hell said that?”
Rudger took a moment to catch his breath before answering.
“The Queen of the Kingdom of Utah did that.”
* * *
President Elisha sent Rudger out saying that he had many things to think about.
In the end, Rudger had no choice but to return to his lodgings.
Once I finished reporting to the president, I thought I could rest for today.
The moment I was about to take a break with that thought, I got a call.
‘Hans?’
Judging from the fact that he contacted us at this late hour, it must not have been simply to say hello.
Rudger turned on the communicator.
“What is going on?”
[older brother. I think you should come and see it urgently.]
They told me to come without even explaining what was going on.
But Rudger wasn’t annoyed or angry about it.
It was said that if Hans, who was not normally like that, would say something like that, it was an important matter.
Rudgar got up from his seat.
“Let’s go soon.”
Ludger put on his coat and headed to the UN Owen’s hideout.
When we arrived at the hideout adjacent to Royal Street, all the executives were gathered.
Hans Alex Pantos Sheridan Bellaluna Arfa and Violetta.
It’s strange that all the guys who normally act individually when not called are gathered, but the expression and attitude are quite nervous.
From that appearance, Rudger had a hunch that a rather unusual person had come.
“older brother. Are you here?”
Hans took the lead and greeted Ludger.
“Who the hell came to call me like this?”
“That…”
“No. In the first place, I would like to meet you in person. So, is the customer in the parlor now?”
“exactly.”
When Hans nodded, Ludger didn’t hesitate.
Having come all the way to the hideout meant knowing the information on this side, and if so, there was no one who could guess.
As expected, when Rudger opened the door and went inside, the man who was drinking hot coffee met Rudger’s gaze.
The gorgeous blond handsome man smiled gladly when he saw Rudgar.
“Long time no see. Mr. Rudger.”
“Sir Pasius.”
Pasius, a knight belonging to the Royal Guard and active in the shadow of the Empire.
He had come to the hideout himself.
‘The fact that Pasius came…’
Rudger glanced sideways at the man sitting still next to Pasius.
Her face was not visible because the hood was pressed down deeply, but the overall body line was telling that she was a woman.
Rudger naturally sat down facing them.
“Is it okay for the princess of the empire to leave her seat like this?”
At those words, the woman sitting across from him pulled back the hood he was wearing.
At that moment, I had the illusion that the scenery in the room was brightening.
Hans, who was closely watching who it was, swallowed his breath and widened his eyes.
“Ah, 1st Princess Aileen…?”
Realizing belatedly that he had called his name carelessly, Hans hurriedly added the word ‘nim’ to the end.
It was because the guest Pans cared about was Pasius, not the person accompanying him.
Even so, he only thought that he was an unusual person and called Ludger, but I never thought he would be the first princess.
Even the other executives, who were not very interested in what was going on in the world, had their eyes widened at the appearance of the first princess.
Bellaluna’s reaction, which the high-ranking person was uncomfortable with, was especially spectacle.
“What happened to a shabby person in a precious place…”
“You idiot! You said the opposite!”
Hans panicked and hurriedly covered Bellaluna’s mouth.
“stop.”
Even the small commotion was neatly organized in one word from Ludger.
Eileen looked at it with an interesting gaze.
“Are these the subordinates you reaped? I don’t know what his skills are, but his personality is a passing grade.”
“I don’t think you came all the way here to talk about that.”
Rudger was suspicious that Eileen had come in person.
Back in the days when she was wandering alone, she had no real power, so even if she couldn’t help it, she is different now.
In fact, she is a woman who might rise to the position of emperor of the next Exilion Empire.
A person like that came all the way here with only one escort? Secretly too?
No matter how much the escort was a master-class knight, he couldn’t erase the thought that he was complacent.
“What happened to the elves in the capital?”
“I came here to tell the story of the guys from the Church of Lumensis in relation to that. It’s just that it’s not clear enough to simply divide it by telecommunication.”
As Eileen said, she crossed her arms and chinned Pasius.
Fascius shrugged his shoulders, saying he couldn’t help it, at the high-handed attitude he had become accustomed to.
“First of all, based on the information we gave you in advance, we confirmed that the elves secretly crossed the border. Most of them stayed outside the capital, but a few sneaked into the capital.”
It was because the capital’s defense was not as usual because of the cover-up of the previous terrorist incident.
Still, it was in the middle of establishing a stable position, but the elves sneaked in, aiming for the gap.
It also played a part in being the pursuers of the Shade Warden, who had no answers if the elves were determined and hid.
“They succeeded in killing innocent citizens and reclaiming the mansion they occupied. After that, they began to observe the inner movement from the outside of the capital.”
It is a situation where a master-level knight is turning on the light in his eyes.
Even elves wouldn’t be able to run amok if they had a thinking head.
“At that time, the Church of Lumensis, which was still, moved.”
“…moved?”
“yes. I don’t know if it was intentional or accidental, but I came into contact with the elves.”
The Church of Lumensis, which pursues only humans.
Elves from a pure-blooded family who regard only elves as the best.
Beyond water and oil, two organizations close to the relationship of fire and ice came face to face.
