Episode 697 The Royal Family’s Enmity (3)
He said it as if it was not a big deal, but in fact, the princess was quite surprised.
‘The appearance of an aura…’
His own sword aura, which was praised for being born with the quality, burns unsteadily.
Even maintaining the current shape felt a bit daunting.
Looking at the aura that can only be created by pouring more mana than she imagined, Princess Il gripped her sword bottle even tighter.
“This… is a subtle sensation.”
Mana comes crashing into the sword again through the skin.
However, it was never violent.
Like a gentle hug.
The mana flowing from the magic tool pleasantly sweeps the skin.
“It’s not a bad feeling, is it? Of course, if you try to force it to manifest, there is nothing you can’t do.”
Ray raised one hand.
Then the wave of mana began to be sucked into his hand.
Mana, who had been soft before, suddenly changed into a ferocious one, as if it hadn’t been like that before.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-!
The trees and grass around it shook violently.
As a gust of wind created around him, the frightened maid hurriedly lowered her body.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Light.”
As the starter words flowed from his mouth, the mana that had been resisting changed again.
Just as normal magic manifests itself, magic is created quietly.
Flash-!
A ray of light illuminates the terrace.
A small orb was created that emitted light.
“Well, the performance is worth using.”
Ray looked down at the magic tool and smiled in satisfaction.
Why does his figure reflected in the light look so beautiful?
The princess smiled a little.
“It is a great skill. I had never even heard of such magic tools.”
She liked Ray more and more.
Not only his appearance, but his skills and knowledge far surpassed that of a competent person.
A magic tool that can cancel magic?
She is a stranger to magic, but she has never seen or heard of it.
Besides, if there was such a magic tool, the association would have asked for information sharing right away.
However, the fact that the kingdom and the association are still quiet means that the current magic tool was developed by the young man in front of him.
Seeing a person do something that would be difficult to achieve even if he devoted his whole life to it, she seemed capable.
Could it be because of the setting sun?
The princess asked, her face flushed before she knew it.
“What are you planning to do with this magic tool?”
To her question, Ray answered as if he didn’t have to think.
“I intend to dedicate it to the kingdom.”
‘Because I have already promised to do so with the King.’
There were no unnecessary sajok.
Upon hearing the answer, the princess trembled.
“If it’s the kingdom… you mean take this thing to the royal family?”
“yes.”
“It’s made by you, so you’re free to use it… but is it okay if I ask why?”
He asked with a rather serious face, so why not answer?
How can I tell a lie here?
Ray immediately explained the reason.
“There will be bloody winds on the eastern continent in the future. This guy can be said to be prepared for that.”
While talking, he pounded the magic tool with his hand.
As if to answer it, the magic tool vomited a resonant sound.
At the same time, the gaze of the princess also turned to the magic tool.
The elaborate decorative patterns that seemed to have been carved out of wood by artisans caught my eye.
In addition to magic swordsmanship and carpentry, he now has extensive knowledge of magic circles.
It was a situation where I did not want to believe his words that there would be bloodshed in the east continent, but I believed it.
If that’s what a person like this would say.
Maybe something really big will happen in the future.
What the heck is this man?
It doesn’t even look like he’s lying.
When her head got complicated, the princess stared at Ray and thought about it before finally opening her mouth.
“If that is true, good luck. May this kingdom and you be blessed.”
“thank you.”
I wonder if the goddamn Goddess will listen to that prayer.
Princess Il left without saying anything.

The streets of the royal road were literally a crucible of frenzy.
“Let’s share God’s blessings!”
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
Several people dressed in white gathered on the streets of the royal capital, where taverns developed greatly, and drank.
It wasn’t just a one-of-a-kind look.
Among the pubs scattered all over the place.
There are quite a few people in white clothes under the lanterns.
The new guard, who had been assigned to the capital for the first time, tilted his head curiously.
“I see a lot of strangely white clothes. Do you have any kind of festival?”
The senior guard across from him explained.
“They are satellite bridges.”
“Satellite religion…isn’t it a religion that worships saints as gods?”
“Yes, sharing a drink makes us brothers and believers.”
The newcomer stuck out his tongue at that absurd statement.
“I am Are there any religions like that? It doesn’t seem normal.”
As a newcomer, it was not a big deal, but the senior guard who heard it hardened his expression.
He hurriedly shut the newcomer’s mouth.
Looking around carefully, the people who had just been drinking happily stared at me with sharp ax eyes.
The senior guard swallowed his saliva and corrected his words.
“…I made a mistake. The satellite bridge is a good place. If you share a drink, you become brothers. Isn’t there something romantic?”
The senior officer has been pressuring me hard as if to get my words right.
He moved his head up and down without knowing why.
“That’s right.”
“…”
The senior guard noticed the surroundings.
Only then did the gaze around them disappear one by one.
Sweeping his chest and feeling relieved, he looked at the newcomer and said quietly.
“You can’t curse at the satellite bridge here. It is blasphemy to them.”
“Poetry blasphemy? Even so, do ordinary believers go that far?”
Seongguk isn’t that harsh.
Isn’t it said that they curse the emperor in places where they can’t see it?
But what kind of bastard believers are so zealously active?
The senior guard sighed.
“Anyway, don’t talk casually about satellite bridges on the street. Unless you want to run away.”
Since the guards, who were supposed to protect the public order, were saying this, I got a rough idea of how the current situation was going.
the newcomer asked cautiously.
“…Is it among us? Believers of the satellite religion…”
“It’s not just the guards. These days, even the drivers are interested in satellite bridges.”
oh my god.
If you’re going beyond the knights who shouldn’t have anything other than the kingdom in mind, that’s all I said.
If this was the case, there would be nothing strange about the kingdom turning upside down tomorrow morning.
“Can I do this?”
“Because there are no restrictions from the royal family.”
“No matter what…”
“There is one thing you need to remember.”
He squeezed the newcomer’s shoulders.
“Keep the streets safe, but never insult the satellite bridge in front of them. Got it?”
I was lucky enough to just skip it, but then it could be a big deal.
As he shook his shoulders as if to answer, the newcomer nodded.
“I see.”
“I just need to know. Today’s shift ends here. Let’s go and cool off.”
I still can’t forget the eyes staring at them.
They then walked towards the guard post without saying a word to each other.

The Satellite Bridge decided to place a branch in the Kingdom of Gleiman.
Under the bishop’s order, the staff was gathered and an elder was selected to lead them, and as a result, Elder Dean, who was usually trusted by the bishop, took over.
The elder, who arrived at the Greyman Island with a group of about 30 people, looked around.
“Hmm.”
I often get strangely warm eyes from a while ago.
It’s about dressing up in a formal attire.
If you are in a foreign country, you may be wary of it, but it is rare to be welcomed, but somehow this place felt like a hometown in your heart.
People in white clothes on the street came to greet each other.
“ha ha ha. The weather is very nice today. There’s a butcher’s shop on the road that passes through my alley. Come when the time is right. If there is any good meat, I will give it to you cheaply.”
“The wedding dress is so nice! Would you like me to embroider it on your sleeve?”
Beyond goodwill, there was something fanatical about them.
“Why are you doing this?”
“It’s not a bad feeling.”
On the way, I came to fill my stomach with only the fruits I got from the road.
Not only that, but even those who drank at the tavern toasted with their eyes, so the elder who had been thinking of establishing a branch in a foreign country somehow lost steam.
‘Recently, I heard that Gleiman was interested in the main school, but I didn’t think it would be like this…’
Elder Dean sighed and headed to the shabby shopping mall that he had looked at in advance.
The land has already been bought.
Now, this place had to be transformed into the Greyman branch of the satellite bridge, but it was no easy task to turn the ruined shopping center into a temple.
“I will call the builders and carpenters.”
“Come.”
I gave out a bag of gold coins to use as a deposit, and the believers who accepted it went out into the streets.
It wasn’t long before the followers returned with the technicians.
However, their expressions are not unusual.
“What is it?”
“Elder, I…”
When Shindo was about to say something.
The technicians who followed them said with a smile.
“I heard the story. Are you setting up a branch of a satellite bridge?”
“yes.”
After answering without knowing why, they looked at each other and agreed.
“Just give me the material cost. We will do our best to make it.”
“ha ha ha. It is the honor of a lifetime to build a satellite bridge temple with my own hands.”
Eh?
After hearing the words, Elder Dean was dumbfounded.
I knew there was a favor for the satellite bridge, but could you really handle the work of building a temple without labor costs?
Does this really make sense?
While Elder Dean was speechless at the unbelievable current situation even though he had experienced it himself, the believers watching from the side hurriedly nodded.
“I would be grateful if you would do that.”
“Maybe heaven blesses you, luck follows. ha ha ha.”
They can save the money they prepared, which is certainly welcome.
A smile bloomed on everyone’s face.
Elder Dean also immediately relaxed his complexion.
‘This is a land of gold! It’s not a branch, it’s a place where there’s nothing lacking even if you establish a main church!’
He decided to build a bigger temple than he initially thought, even if it was a little overbearing.
