Episode 96 Clean Up (3)
Selena looked at her heart suspiciously.
“Is that the heart of the Bone Dragon?”
“Listen to it if you don’t believe it.”
As he spoke, he handed over the heart in his hand, and Selena accepted it with a disapproving expression.
As soon as the heart left Ray’s hand, a tremendous amount of demonic energy surged through the hall.
Hwaaaak-
Selena’s expression was stained with embarrassment as Margie, who would have passed out immediately to most people, was floating in the air.
Even if the dragon’s heart is covered with a special cloth used when making a castle, the demonic energy leaks out.
When Ray grabs the heart, he suppresses it with mana, so it’s just that the magic didn’t leak out much.
However, in the case of Selena who is unable to do so, the heart’s original magic radiates out to the surroundings.
The Bone Dragon’s sense of intimidation swept through the hall in an instant.
Aaaah-!
Even breathing became difficult as the density of demonic energy increased compared to the density of mana that made up the atmosphere.
“Damn mana…!”
“Huh…!”
If you are not an intermediate level Aura user, it will be difficult to even control your body.
To that extent, the meaning of the dragon they saw was different.
The culprit who eliminated an era that once enjoyed its heyday. The creature’s heart was in front of them.
Ray snatched it back before Selena got drunk on Margie.
Then, like a lie, Magi subsided.
Now people’s eyes were fixed on Ray. What is the magic that comes out of the heart, and how strong is the dragon that handles it?
And it’s because I’m curious about the identity of the young saint who captured the undead.
Ray looked around the hall again and opened his mouth slowly.
“Whether I caught this by joining forces with the forces of the Seongguk, which I captured alone, it would be proof that the Seongguk possessed enough power to destroy the Bone Dragon by itself, right?”
“…”
“The Seongguk gave the right to investigate the necromancer only in the desired kingdom. Even so, how should the Seongguk accept this attitude you are taking?”
Ray looked at Gregory and Selena from the podium.
“I ask this time. Is your action an official position taken by the Lessian Empire?”
Ray’s voice was incoherent, but depending on their answers, it was possible to hint that a conflict would arise between the Holy Kingdom and the Lessian Empire.
Of course, they cannot answer this huge diplomatic question. That’s because neither Gregory nor Selena have the right to do that.
However, he could not ignore the saint’s question. That’s because it could cause problems.
To answer was an act of exceeding authority, and not to answer was disrespectful to adults.
Whichever option they chose, the Lessian Empire had no choice but to bear the loss.
Gregory bowed his head calmly.
“…the thought was brief. Gregory of the Lessian Empire sincerely apologizes for the disrespect towards the Holy Kingdom.”
“…Selena of the Lessian Empire sincerely apologizes for her disrespect towards the Holy Nation.”
Those of the Lessian Empire, who had such a high nose, bowed their heads.
The audience couldn’t help but be taken aback by their attitude.
What kind of country is the Lesian Empire? It is the strongest country on the continent and most of its magic technology comes from the Lessian Empire.
It is a country that claims to be the strongest on the continent in terms of economy as well as military and political power.
It is not easy for such people to bow their heads to the holy kingdom.
Looking at them, Ray said, looking at not only those from the Lessian Empire, but also those from other kingdoms.
“I want you to understand that every single word you say can cause conflict between kingdoms. I don’t know how much position each of you has in the kingdom, but from the moment you sit here, you are the representative of the kingdom.”
This was his final warning and threat.
In any case, Seongguk proved that he could independently catch the Necromancer and the Bone Dragon.
So there was no need to face the pressure of small and medium-sized countries anymore.
After this summit, tolerable countries will avoid the castle on their own.
While the audience was silent, they looked at Ray.
Although radical and erratic, the tone of the talks has reversed.
Even though they came from other countries, the other kingdoms that acted like their masters couldn’t even use their strength properly.
This is the moment when you think that you shouldn’t judge him by his known age.
I couldn’t believe that his speech, charisma, and the tolerance to soften it at the end were those of a young man who was about to turn 16.
Regardless of what they thought, Ray thought it was time to go back as he had done his job.
As evidence of that, Ecclei blinked while looking at Ray. It’s probably a wink that says it’s okay to go.
Ray looked at him and smiled.
“I was in the middle of my business and I was in a hurry to attend the meeting, so I’m going to go back now.”
Lying down could be a business if it was business.
He bowed lightly and went out.
Even after Ray’s departure, people were still frozen as if the shock they had received at the meeting had remained the same.
Eclay took over the meeting on behalf of the saint.
She looked around slowly and opened her mouth.
“Then… does anyone else have any questions?”
At Eclay’s question, people who had been sitting still like statues spoke up.
“You mean you really caught the necromancer with magic?”
“Then, is it you who killed the Bone Dragon?”
Even in the baptism of questions pouring in, Eclay answered one by one.
“As I said at the beginning, there are quite a few soldiers who claim that the saint captured the necromancer with magic. I know that the ones who subdued the dragon were the 4,000 soldiers, the saint and the saintess, and the families supporting the two of them.”
Many questions poured in like a hail, and some of them asked questions that anyone would be curious about.
“…Then may I ask how many circles your saint has?”
“….”
“….”
The question was Selena of the Lessian Empire.
A supernova of the magic world who is the youngest to enter the 6th circle.
She was the one who might be able to reach the 7th Circle beyond human limits, receive the title of Lord, and resurrect the Mage Tower.
All those with positions related to magic paid attention to what Eclay would say.
There are many people in this position who hold positions related to the combat profession.
Isn’t Philia of the Kingdom of Greyman in charge of that kingdom’s second magic corps leader?
They hold their breath and focus on the story.
To that extent, the issue at this point deserves attention.
Eclay let out a small sigh.
I thought it would be revealed someday. I made Meteor during the baptism, so I said it all.
she opened her mouth
“Even we do not know exactly how many circles the saint is.”
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..”
“Hmmm…”
Many people shed their silence at Eclay’s bewildering sound.
However, she continued to speak.
“However, I think that our Seongguk has more than eight circles of the Holy Son.”

Eucliwood spoke to Ray.
“It was pretty extreme.”
“okay? I think I kept my own line.”
“It was close, but.”
“Originally, a man should have a tough taste.”
At Ray’s words, Eucliwood looked at him with expressionless eyes.
Where do you see it as a man? It’s a look that has just gotten out of the boyish tee.
Eucliwood let out a small sigh and said.
“Haa… More than that, it’s about Mary.”
“merry?”
At Ray’s question, Eucliwood hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“It is not right for this child to have someone serve him.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Even though he looks young on the outside, he is like a wild horse. As the saint just said, if Mary were a man, she would have a tough taste.”
There was still no high pitch in the tone she spoke, and although her expression was expressionless, there was a firm will in her eyes.
Mary is not a supportive nature.
Therefore, you cannot raise a saint to help him by his side.
Ray stopped walking and looked directly at Eucliwood.
“…Even if you say that, you haven’t given up on Mary yet, have you?”
“Because this is what the Holy Son asked me to do.”
“….”
“….”
The two looked at each other for a while without saying a word.
His expression is still hard to read. If you had played poker in modern times, it would have been a great poker face.
Ray said to Eucliwood.
“I don’t know how to raise her… but I’ll leave everything about Mary up to you.”
Perhaps what Eucliwood wanted was this one word from himself.
The three families are originally a system driven by commands.
If you don’t receive orders for these things, you won’t be able to move.
She closed her eyes, bowed her head slightly, and took a step back.
“thank you.”
When Ray suddenly thought of the three families, Zeke came to mind.
The surgery was successful, so you’ll probably be fine, right? Would you wake up by now?
“Um… I just remembered, so shall we go see Zeke?”
“…You seem to favor Zeke these days. Favoritism is not good. Also to maintain interrelationships between organizations. No matter who the Holy Son cares about, it is necessary to maintain equality in order to allow the work or organization that has nothing to do with me to have a closer relationship.”
“….”
He just thought, ‘Shall we go see Zeke?’ and just said one word.
But what does this sensitive and sensitive reaction mean?
Ray thought for a moment before speaking.
“In short… Are you asking me to take care of the other two families as well?”
“I was just talking about organizational theory.”
Eucliwood’s expressionless eyes stare at Ray.
Ray also looked at Eucliwood expressionlessly.
“…First, can you guide me to Zeke’s mansion?”
“I hope you don’t forget what I just said.”
“Okay… Guidance…”
“I never told you my personal thoughts, I just said it in case the Holy Son organizes an organization later.”
“I understand…”
Even after that, Eucliwood’s comments continued. Of course, Ray took it as a complaint of ‘Please pay attention’.
Zeke climbed the Sword Master and was given a mansion given by the Holy Kingdom.
The mansion is in Selonia, albeit a little farther away.
I have only heard that Zeke’s mansion, which boasts a magnificent appearance, is hidden deep in the mountains, but I do not know anything else.
So I had no choice but to ask Eucliwood for guidance.
She, who was normally so talkative, kept talking and moving next to Ray.
Ray thought that he had an unexpectedly childish personality.
