Episode 1302. Build a bigger ball than the Musketeers,
Londinium Empire.
A luxury house in Jung-gu, Petropolis, the capital.
A magic field was created in the empty study, and soon a person popped out of the air.
7th Circle Warlock Charles Manson.
After standing in a daze for a while due to the shock of using the ultra-long distance teleport, he soon regained consciousness.
‘ha! It’s finally Petropolis.’
Teleporting from the Southern Great Forest to Central Petropolis is not an easy task, even though it has been through three places.
It would have been impossible if he hadn’t been the greatest wizard called Magus.
Within a moment of pride, he changed his clothes and left the luxurious mansion.
After a while, Charles Manson appeared in front of the Parabahad Magic Tower in the West.
Parabahad Mage Tower is a place called ‘the sacred place of battle mages’ because it was devoted to elemental magic, and the entrance was strictly guarded.
He looked at the guard with indifferent eyes and moved to a nearby restaurant.
Maybe 30 minutes passed?
Someone appeared in front of him drinking tea at the window seat.
This is Karan Dolores, the deputy lord of Parabahad Magic Tower.
She had a gorgeous beauty and a voluptuous body that was unbelievable for a middle-aged woman.
But for some reason, Charles Manson pointed to an empty seat across the street with calm eyes.
Karn Dolores said as she sat down.
“Are you daring? Advance to the front of the magic tower in broad daylight.”
“That’s why it’s so urgent.”
“You are lucky. It’s been several days since the tower lord went to the imperial palace.”
“Does Master still resent me?”
“It would be strange if the disciple who was trying to entrust his heir had fallen into a side road, so it would be strange not to resent him.”
“Even after twenty years have passed?”
“You will probably resent it until you die. You know the tower owner’s personality.”
“Damn it, I just want you to die soon.”
“What about this? He changed his body ten years ago, so he must have lived for a long time. Stop talking nonsense and tell me why you called me. They say that because the tower lord isn’t here, they’re busier.”
Charles Manson, who was fixing a teacup with an ambiguous face, opened his mouth.
“I received a special request from the Magic Tower… but things didn’t go well.”
“Does the organization still exist?”
Karn Dolores looked at Charles Manson with bewildered eyes.
I heard that an organization called Crescent disappeared after Wayne Casey, the chairman, was executed, but I was surprised to receive a request.
“It’s a request I received through personal connections.”
“aha. What about it? I don’t even have an organization, so is there anything wrong with failing?”
“No one is holding me accountable. The only problem is that if the target knows who I am… I will have to hide for the rest of my life.”
“You have to hide? Could it be that Archduke Knauf was also aiming for it?”
“similar. I was aiming for Count Elio Lagoa.”
“The article that led the war against the demons to victory in the north?”
“You know me well.”
“I just have to know. He’s the person that His Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for.”
Since the Parabahad Magic Tower, which trains combat mages, received full support from the imperial palace, the mages were also close to the imperial family.
Of course, wizards from the Parabahad Magic Tower lined up next to the Crown Prince, who would become the next emperor.
That’s why Karanne Dolores, the deputy tower’s owner, also knew about the prince’s current situation.
“The crown prince pushed him?”
“It’s a knight that symbolizes the North. Sooner or later, he will kill the knight who will stand at the vanguard of the north.”
“Looks like they’re thinking of extending the front to the north.”
“Aren’t you surprised that the Imperial Army is still being pushed back?”
“I know at least that the magic engineers and the crown prince joined hands.”
“also! There are connections in the Mage Tower, so information is quick. Do you know that the item went into mass production?”
Charles Manson understood at once that ‘that thing’ was excitium.
“of course.”
He did not say that he had already obtained the excitium.
“Does the crown prince deserve to be full of confidence?”
“This must be bad news for the wizards of the Parabahad Tower.”
Parabahad Magic Tower does not research magic engineering.
Naturally, the wizards of Parabahad Magic Tower, who were orthodox wizards, and the magic engineers were not on good terms.
“That’s why the tower lord went to the imperial family. He said he would improve the treatment of the wizards there. It’s because the magic engineers are about to give up the position of the royal mage.”
“Can you really go that far?”
“It’s because I don’t know the atmosphere of the imperial family yet. Did you know that all the knights of the Imperial Guard have already been turned into musketeers? It’s not long before the battle mage is pushed out by the magic engineer.”
“So you’re just going to watch it?”
“It can’t be. It has been many days since the tower lord passed away, so there must be some change.”
“Change…”
Maybe some kind of deal could be made between the crown prince and the tower owner.
After thinking for a moment, Charles Manson said.
“Keep in mind. That we need the cooperation of Archduke Knauf to eliminate the northern knights.”
Then Karn Dolores glanced at Charles Manson.
“what? that. Are you asking me to take care of the northern knight instead?”
“If you want to win the crown prince’s favor, you will have to kill the northern knight, so it’s also beneficial to you.”
“Since the 7th Circle Magus received the help of black magic, he must have reached the level of the 8th Circle. Do you want me to do something that failed with that kind of power?”
“With the mass-produced new weapon, battle mage, and Archduke Knauf, even a god could be killed.”
“Are the northern knights that strong?”
Karn Dolores looked at Charles Manson with a stunned face.
Excitium and battle mages seem to be enough, but you’re inviting Archduke Knauf?
“If Archduke Hannes Knauf of the past was the god of war, then he is the god of war. If you can’t attract Archduke Kaiser Knauf, don’t even think about touching him.”
“What the…”
Charles Manson rose from his seat, leaving Caranne Dolores still unconvinced.
Caranne Dolores, left alone, pondered over the words left by her former senior, the warlock Charles Manson.
‘I need the cooperation of Archduke Knauf to deal with the northern knights?’
That’s what the senpai said because he still didn’t know the destructive power of excitium.
It would have been different if he had seen the power of excitium threatening the position of knights and wizards.
‘At times like this, Excitium is reliable.’
For a moment, instead of hatred towards magicians, I felt grateful.
***
Faravahad Magic Tower.
The head of the Parabahad Magic Tower, who went to the imperial palace, did not return until five days later.
As soon as he arrived, he called Karn Dolores, the second owner.
After a while, the sub-top owner Karn Dolores entered the tower owner’s office.
“You worked hard.”
Reg Davis, head of the tower, said with a tired face.
“Yes, you worked hard while I was gone.”
“Are all the imperial mages doing well?”
“It seems that the treatment is not the same as before.”
At the words of the top lord, the heart of the bu top lord was heavy.
He would have said ‘I’m doing well’ as a greeting, but it seems the situation is serious.
“Isn’t it very bad?”
“It is said that the atmosphere has completely changed after the defeat of the Corvo Magic Corps.”
Most of the combat wizards of the Corvo Magic Corps are from the Parabahad Magic Tower.
So, depending on the victory or defeat of the Corvo Magic Corps, the status of the Parabahad Magic Tower would go up and down.
“It sounds like too much. Only one defeat at Torrens.”
“Well, who doesn’t know? It’s just that there’s no chance of winning again in a fight against the steel golem of the Southern Kingdom.”
“What do the imperial mages say? Are the magic attacks of wizards not working at all?”
“They say that even if you get hit directly by magic, it doesn’t budge, so it’s no different than not working.”
“You didn’t nod to the magic attack?”
“Isn’t that why you came up with an excitum to hit with a stronger force?”
“If you look at the results with Accyrium, the positions of wizards and knights will be narrower, right?”
“The musketeers recruitment window is already crowded. The academy also decided to reduce the number of knights and wizards and drastically increase the number of musketeers… Tsk!”
Reg Davis, the old tower owner, clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like the situation.
“I wonder if the garden of the imperial mages will also decrease? Even the guards have turned into musketeers.”
“The aftermath of Excitium is greater than expected. Even if the war with the southern kingdom is over, it will not subside. Would the family that produced the musketeers try to let go of their vested interests?”
“What about the knights? They don’t like the spread of excitium either.”
“To oppose Excitium in the current atmosphere is like a traitor… No one can openly oppose it.”
“Isn’t it something you’d love just because you could turn the tide of the battle?”
“Especially not good for us mages. From now on, the gunmen will do the things that only we could do.”
“It’s not quite like that yet, is it?”
“When I went to the imperial family, I could feel that such a day was right around the corner.”
Tower master Reg Davis sighed.
The treatment of the imperial family has changed.
In the past, when he visited the imperial palace, the crown prince ran to greet him, but this time he had to send the imperial mage several times before he could meet him.
“How has the treatment of the imperial mages improved?”
“His Highness the Crown Prince tells us to make a bigger contribution than the musketeers. Then the treatment will naturally improve.”
“Yes? Did the prince say something like that? Comparing an imperial mage to a musketeer! Isn’t that really too much?”
“That’s the atmosphere in the imperial family right now. It is changing from the root as it goes into mass production of Xytium. I am worried about what awaits at the end of this.”
The sub-tap master, Caranne Dolores, looked at his teacher, the pagoda, with devastated eyes.
When I entered Parabahad Magic Tower, I never imagined that a day like this would come.
oh my god! How can a battle mage be compared to something like a musketeer!
who is the musketeer
Aren’t they the idiots who received the blessing of mana, but were afraid of being stabbed and grabbed a magic gun?
It was unbelievable that the royal mages were rated lower than those people.
Karn Dolores, who came to her senses before long, asked.
“What is the big ball that Master and Crown Prince said?”
“He told me to kill the northern knight in the southern kingdom.”
There is only one person who can be called by the top lord as the ‘Knight of the North’.
“You mean to kill Count Elio Lagoa, the hero of the North?”
Tower owner Reg Davis nodded with a puzzled face.
“Praise him as a hero who protected the continent, and even drop the title of count and kill him?”
“Before Accyrium was mass-produced, it was because the North was paying attention. It is clear that they will become enemies in the future, so they are going to nip them in the bud.”
“A sprout? Who calls grand masters sprouts?”
“The other magic towers have decided to support the Magic Gun and Excitium.”
Karn Dolores frowned at the sudden outburst of words, ‘Another Mage Tower’.
“Another mage tower? Is it Taboola Magic Tower?”
“right. The magic gun made by the Magic Engineers of the Tabula Tower is the best… It will help us in whatever way we do.”
Reg Davies added ‘one little bit of power’ to the battle mage’s pride.
In an instant, Karn Dolores could understand why Charles Manson had appeared in front of her.
When he failed to assassinate, Tabula’s magic tower attacked the crown prince and attracted the Parabahad’s magic tower.
I don’t know if Charles Manson knew all the way there.
“You haven’t already accepted the prince’s proposal, have you?”
“Still, you shouldn’t improvise the assassination of the grand master. I asked for time to think.”
“Good job.”
Deputy head Karanne Dolores swept her chest.
Charles Manson said, “You can succeed only with the cooperation of Archduke Knauf.”
In such a big matter, I should only risk improving the treatment of the imperial mage.
