EPISODE.99

[Listen to Russell Raymond. Jim knew too that every achievement you had made for your country over the past few years was no small matter. Not only that, but in suppressing this rebellion…]

The teachings given to him.

Russell’s eyes trembled incongruously from side to side as he read the textbook.

It has to be.

Duke (公王) or Grand Duke (大公).

what kind of seat

[…We’ve reached the 7th Circle, so I’m adding to the promise the royal family made a long time ago with the Raymond family…] A

position that only members of the royal family, among them, can be promoted to with qualifications. It was a duke.

It is also because of this that the title of the first head of the Raymond family, who was a founding contributor and a magician of the 8th circle, ended up as a marquis.

By the way, Russell was on the Duke’s throne.

No matter how much she became a member of the royal family as a sire, it could only be called exceptional and unconventional.

That would be the case, too, since there has never been a case in the history of Endymion where someone other than ‘Latmos’ has become a duke.

[…To congratulate you on your merits, and to give you a position suitable for you as a member of the royal family. From the moment the school paper is issued, the position of Lord is promoted to Duke. Also, according to him, the territory and the authority to collect tax…]

What followed after that was the territory that was bestowed as the king of this and that, and words like advice that he should behave more properly in the future.

Before and after.

While passed out, Russell, who had been rewriting the history of Endymion, put down the textbook he was holding in his hand with a bewildered expression.

pinch -.

“It seems that it doesn’t feel real. dear.”

Hecate muttered as he tugged at Russell’s cheek.

“It has to be. I was a little surprised when I first heard of Your Majesty’s decision.”

“I was just surprised…”

Daria giggled at the sight of the two of them.

“When Your Majesty made that decision, I thought at least a bowl of cold water had been poured into the conference hall.”

commented quickly.

“Even so, seeing that no one was particularly against it… that means everyone present acknowledged your credit.”

Of course, some of the great nobles might have had a repulsive spirit.

Because the title of king was so special. However, they also did not reveal their psychology outwardly.

In any case, they are also great nobles enough to be called the country’s leading figures.

Politically, they were well aware that it was not good to increase the number of enemies as much as they were worn out.

‘In this current situation, you probably don’t know that there’s nothing good about hurting your feelings with the newly born Archmage of the 7th Circle.’

Daria’s eyes widened at that thought.

“By the way… if you want to realize it, should I call you His Highness the Grand Duke from today?”

A look that is playful no matter who sees it. However, upon hearing that, Russell shook his head in amazement.

“That’s not possible.”

No matter what, Daria is her teacher.

Even if he became a duke, it would be inconvenient to be called ‘Your Highness’ by her and receive engineering classes.

Moreover, the owner of the King’s Cloak Tower was the same as a Marquess or higher.

‘Still, it would be good to organize this opportunity.’

Thinking so, Russell moved his gaze.

“I still can’t believe it, but…”

He opened his mouth looking back at his teacher Daria and the two brothers in the seat.

“Even if I become a duke, there is no need for people in this room to treat me with respect. After all, I am Russell Raymond, Master’s disciple, and priest of the death penalty.”

Hubert smiled happily at Russell’s sincere words, and Daria nodded and giggled.

Not to be outdone by him, Vermillion also shouted loudly.

“Hahahaha! This is why I like the youngest priest!”

It was a warm moment that happened on the evening of the day Russell woke up.

.

.

After those who filled the hospital room went back, Russell, who became alone, opened the subspace looking out the window.

‘Then now…’

It was the turn to confirm the reward of the mission that could not be confirmed due to the guest’s visit.

As soon as he remembered his intention, magic stones began to come out in clusters like grape grains.

widely-.

Then, a piece of parchment, about the size of two pages of a decent book, was held in my hand.

‘This is…’

If you pretend, you pretend.

Naturally, the identity of the parchment was a map that recorded parts of the continent.

Looking at the map that came with his hand and the letter x on it, Russell smiled bitterly.

‘I guess I’ll have to look through the atlas again for a while.’

.

.

A few days later.

After being discharged from the hospital, Russell’s face hardened.

‘This is…’

The location marked on the map.

That’s right-.

The ‘Empire…’

is the only empire on the continent and an old enemy of Endymion.

It was the territory of Britannia.

* * *

Three days after that.

The place where Russell was discharged from the hospital was the site of the reconstruction of the bustling capital.

Woo woo woo-.

The stone tiles on the floor, which had been randomly scattered, rise into the air and boom!

Kwadeuk Kwadeuk!

Russell, who floated the tiles in the air, crushed them like clay and clumped them here and there.

“Heh heh heh…”

The sight of the tiles floating in the air transforming into huge lumps of earth and crushing them is truly magical.

The workers who watched the scene let out a laugh, and then Russell spread his palms wide.

Then, the clumps of soil that were clumped together come out in dozens and hundreds and begin to divide into square shapes.

What appeared immediately after was hundreds of tiles with neat shapes as if they had just been taken.

What had been smashed and cracked here and there was instantly transformed into something new as soon as it passed through Russell’s hands.

Then, when Russell lowered the palm he was holding, he said:

Tiles begin to be laid along the floor in unison, creating a wide pavilion.

“—!”

What surprised them this time was not ordinary workers, but mages belonging to the lineage of the Yellow Tower.

“Did you use water attribute magic to float and knead the broken and smashed tiles using gravity magic?”

“The magic used to refine the shape must be wind attribute magic, and the hardening is done by finely adjusting the fire attribute magic…

”

“Besides, I didn’t waste even a single drop of magic. Is this possible? I can’t believe it.”

“As expected…”

The reason why someone who was about the Duke of Russell Kingdom was at the reconstruction site was simple.

Russell himself volunteered to do this.

‘In order to correct the sense of mana control and adjust the collapsed balance little by little.’

The genealogy of the Red Tower belonging to the Flame Tower.

Although fire and thunder attribute magic is said to be his specialty, he has also learned the originality magic of previous Yellow Tower genealogical pagoda owners.

Therefore, there was no lack of understanding of the land properties.

Cood de deuk!

Following Russell’s fingertips, the earth soars up, completing the wall.

‘hmm.’

It was the moment when Russell, who had finished separating the zones with a simple action, was about to move on to the next task.

“Hey heck heck!”

From afar, a young man in a red robe fluttered toward Russell.

He was a rookie wizard who had entered the Tower of Flames less than a year ago.

“His Highness the late Duke!”

At the sudden call, Russell stopped what he was trying to do and put down his hand.

“Heh heh heh. Huh Eok. This is a message from the royal family.”

I wondered why he was running so fast, but it seems that a message from the royal family came down to the salt tower.

Russell nodded, as if to say something, and he continued, catching his breath.

He handed over the king’s order to Russell, with the message,

“Dong Shi Seong, to enter the palace immediately…” .

It’s an unexpected entrance at this time.

‘What’s going on?’

One time to tilt his head and stare at the royal palace.

“Thank you.”

Russell moved forward, lightly tapping the shoulder of the junior who had delivered the message.

what’s going on-

‘If you go in, you’ll understand.’

.

.

When I reached the place written in the king’s order, there were two people who arrived first and were waiting.

both are spherical

“…I’m here?”

A sleepy, relaxed voice. One was Amelia Merwin, the owner of the Royal Capital White Tower, and the other was Olive, a wizard who also belonged to the White Tower.

“Meet Your Highness the Duke.”

Facing Russell, Olive greeted him, and Russell nodded awkwardly.

Then Amelia Merwin said.

“I couldn’t go to the hospital. sorry. I am so busy.”

“it’s okay. Most of them passed out anyway, and I was only awake for the last three days or so.”

The story that even if I came to visit the hospital, I wouldn’t have been able to talk properly. She nodded softly at Russell’s answer.

“huh. Yeah…”

Still a unique person. As I sat down with that thought in mind, a little later another person arrived.

“It’s a little late…”

It was Alan Page. The moment he met Russell’s eyes and was about to say hello.

“Everyone has arrived.”

The door on the other side opened.

It was King Alfonso Ratmos who convened this meeting today.

“Meet His Majesty the King.”

“Meet His Majesty the King.”

Those who stood up at his appearance lowered their heads in unison.

“Let me sit down for now.”

Then, following his gestures, I sat down.

Chuck Chuck-.

“The reason why I called the sutras together today is that there is something I want them to do for me.”

“…?”

Unlike Russell, who hadn’t heard anything about it, did he have any guesses?

Amelia Merwin let out an insignificant glance.

“It’s not such a big deal, I need someone to guide me.”

“Who is the guide…?”

It was Amelia Merwin who answered Russell’s question.

“I am a fairy.”

It reminded me of the decision to provide a place to live for the fairies who had lost their place due to this incident until the great forest was restored.

Then, the tip of her finger pointed at Russell.

“Dukes are prisoners.”

“ah!”

It’s already that time. Russell exclaimed softly, feeling that the time for the beast tribes to migrate was quickly approaching.

“The other two have been called to serve as assistants to the Lords…”

the king muttered to Russell, his words clouded.

“I’m sorry. I know it hasn’t been long since I woke up after robbing a hospital bed… but it seems like it’s best to be a guide to the Beasts.”

Because among the people of Endymion, it was Russell who had the strongest friendship with the beastmen.

“Can you please?”

“Hmm…”

Russell nodded after a moment of salivation.

“Russell Raymond, Duke of Endymion, will obey His Majesty’s command.”

Is there anything else going on with the mere guidance? It was with the thought of

Of course, the aggressiveness of Muyaho, the king of beasts, bothers me a bit

…

It wasn’t that I couldn’t speak to anyone.

But Russell didn’t know.

What kind of trouble will the migration of Muyaho and the Beast tribe bring…

Unfortunately.

At the time, Russell didn’t know.
