Episode 136. Unstoppable People
gathered in a huge audience room after a long time.
All of them were famous pillars of the empire, enough to be known by just hearing their names.
“I’m busy in the middle of the day, but a beggar-like guy blows up the candles.”
As always, the gun was opened by Minus Morhaime.
He was expressing his feelings by running his golden hair through his thick hands, which were filled with rings.
“Anyway, the old man must also be a lightning bolt. I heard you just returned from Fortion?”
“hmm….”
Minus, who spoke to Bahat once to check his reaction, felt his annoyance relieved at Bahat’s expression, which was more serious than expected.
“What is it? The great wizard of the world is moaning like a pooped puppy.”
“This is pointless.”
Bahat said only one word and shut his mouth.
Minus also decided that there would be nothing to be gained by further provocation here, and changed his goal.
“Does our chancellor have anything to say about this situation?”
“Your Majesty will be back soon. Do not be rash.”
After saying that, Hector Kazaf also closed his eyes.
Feeling frustrated by the reaction, Minus sighed when a relief pitcher appeared.
“Minus: Come to think of it, I heard that the family business and other things are going well these days?”
“you’re right. It’s cruising very well. That’s why being called here is pissing me off.”
“Is there a reason why things are going so well all of a sudden? Or was it just luck?”
“Where is the old man who openly asks about other people’s business secrets?”
“haha! Are we guys? There’s nothing overlapping anyway, so tell me clearly.”
“He looks like a lion, but he speaks like a fox.”
“Your Majesty is entering!”
Their conversation was immediately cut off.
Soon after, the expressionless emperor walked in holding a sword in one hand.
“Meet Your Majesty.”
The dukes all got up from their seats and bowed their heads, and the emperor, ignoring the greeting, sat right in the seat of honor.
“Sit down.”
As the emperor said, half-pulling and retracting the sword in his hand as usual, the dukes sat down.
“You must have heard all the news.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Hector replied.
Then the emperor stopped acting like a habit and looked down at everyone with arrogant eyes.
“What am I supposed to do with that cheeky bastard? Does it make sense that a wanted criminal who dared to be shot in the Empire would openly roam the Empire? Jim will ask. Is there not a single servant here who will punish that wicked fellow and raise the status of the empire?”
Upon hearing the emperor’s words, the dukes thought in their hearts that he had gone mad.
To say that even though he has already suffered a major burn… ….
‘There’s no way I’m really crazy, and someone is telling me to step up and take responsibility.’
The emperor seemed to need a justification.
A justification for the empire not to be ignored.
No, they must be concerned about the reputation of the emperor himself, not the empire.
Bahat first thought about the purpose of Maximin.
First of all, I had to find out why he had entered the Empire so openly.
“You mean no one? why don’t you talk Aren’t the people gathered here called the pillars of the Empire? How come the Pillars were only frightened by one of Maximin Cronell?”
The emperor laughed, but no one responded.
Minus didn’t listen, Hector lowered his head, and Sinclair watched the others react.
“Your Majesty, you must remember the Terrapin Incident.”
Bahat lowered his head and said.
The rest of the dukes felt relieved that Bahat had stepped up first.
At Bahat’s words, the emperor glared at him with a languid but intense gaze.
“Prince Alven, why do you say such a weak thing? You must be one of the 10 people on the continent, are you that scared?”
“yes. I am afraid.”
“haha!”
At Bahat, who was speaking so bluntly, the emperor let out a gigantic laugh.
Hector, who had been watching him, hurriedly stepped out.
“Prince Alven’s words and actions are too disrespectful. How can you spit out words that are so inappropriate to His Majesty?”
“Then, are you going to stop Maximin Cronel in the Kazaf family? If so, I will cleanly admit my fault and accept the guilt sweetly.”
“You don’t mean that, do you? I just saw Prince Alven’s disrespectful words and actions… ….”
“your majesty.”
Bahat ignored Hector’s words and spoke to the emperor.
It was only natural that Hector’s disregarded expression would turn red.
“As Your Majesty said, that Bahat Alven is being called one of the Ten Continents, an unreasonable title. However, I can’t guarantee that even if you draw all the power of the Rodelen Magic Tower and bring the power of the Alven Family, you will be able to capture Maximin Cronel. Of course, I am confident that I will not lose. However, it is my opinion that in the end, just like the Terrapin Incident, only a lot of human casualties will be lost and missed.”
“Even if you join forces with other family heads?”
“The opponent is a monster who beat the Aura Master before he even became an Aura Master. At the time of the Terrapin Incident, the composition consisted of 3 Aura Masters, 1 Warlock, and thousands of knights and soldiers. The result was the disappearance of one Auror Master and the deaths of hundreds. That person has now appeared as an Aura Master.”
“We have Lord Kloche and Lord Alven, and Auror Masters and Warlocks scattered all over the country. Besides, there is a gentleness of mercy by Jim’s side.”
“It is judged that bringing in all of them just for the sake of Maximin Cronell would do more harm than good.”
“I think the same. First of all, I think the first thing is to hear why Maximin Cronel came to the Empire.”
When Minus agreed with Bahat, the Emperor laughed.
“Dude Cloche, do you think the same?”
“God is always ready to fight.”
When Sinclair replied with a fierce smile, the Emperor shook his head.
“As expected, Lord Cloche. But the rest of the pillars got scared and rolled up their tails, so Jim can’t force it. I’ll get it right away Let’s first ask Maximin what was the reason he proudly stepped in.”
Minus’s expression was frowned upon by the openly sarcastic emperor.
However, the meeting ended just like that.
When the emperor left the audience room, Minus finally let go of what he had been holding back.
“Your Majesty must have been very angry. Seeing them say that they get scared and wag their tails.”
“Watch out for Minus.”
“Hey Kazaf, don’t pretend like you, too, curl up your tail like we do. Only Old Man Cloche can be confident, so why are you saying this to me?”
“You’re proud that things are going well these days. Let’s see where it goes your way. I have work to do, so I will go out.”
Hector left with those words.
When that happened, the rest of the crew slowly prepared to leave.
“Bahat.”
“why.”
“I heard that he came to meet Adrias Cromwell, is that true?”
“what?”
Minus shouted in surprise at Sinclair’s words.
However, Bahat stood up without saying anything and did not answer.
“Bahat.”
When Sinclair urged him to ask again, Bahat finally shook his head.
“I don’t know. My heart is a little complicated now. I’ll let you know when I find out.”
“I get it.”
When even Bahat left, Minus hurriedly asked.
“You mean Maximin came to visit Adrias?”
“It’s not quite right. So I also asked Bahat.”
“Hmm….”
“Come to think of it, it looks like you are also related to Adrias, but is it related to him?”
“I don’t know either. I didn’t even think that Maximin came to see Adrias in the first place… ….”
Adrias Cromwell.
Based on the information he had given him, the duke of Morhaime, who was growing rapidly, was enjoying a power that could be called the heyday.
At first, he was dubious about Adrias’ information, but now Minus was so enamored with him that he wanted to somehow get him on his side.
‘Recently, I was busy with family matters, so I couldn’t check his identity. Even now, we have to check Adrias’ every move.’
If Maximin really came to visit Adrias… ….
What if something bad came to you?
The complexion of Minus, who had thought to that point, hardened.
‘I have to protect him no matter what.’
* * *
‘Ice Clutch.’
A chunk of ice that bloomed in the air exploded.
Seeing this, Burial applauded.
“Excellent. You have grown a lot during the vacation.”
After returning from Portrion, he came to see me straight away from the first day, but fortunately, he had a satisfied look on his face, as if he had passed his standards.
“Come to think of it, has student Adrias ever been to Fort Rion?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Then you must have never been to the Nivas Festival.”
sound natural.
To be invited to the Nivas Festival in the first place, you must be at least Warlock level or higher.
Even if the number of warlocks is not large, the number is quite large if you look at the entire continent.
Even though each of them has different abilities, the fact that they are Warlocks does not change.
“Yes.”
“Wizards who are invited to the Nivas Festival can bring their assistants. In the meantime, there was no person who could be called an assistant, so I had forgotten about it, but student Adrias came to mind belatedly.”
“Would you like to take me with you?”
“It’s just for us Warlocks to play, but it’s true that it’s helpful for novice wizards like you.”
I thought I had grown up quite a bit, but in Belial’s eyes, I’m still a beginner.
Well, for the youngest Warlock, his eyes are high.
Come to think of it, Diene also had the option of following Bahat and participating in the Nivas Festival.
It’s a side episode based on the player’s choice, but as Berial said, there’s a lot to gain and a lot to learn, so it’s not a bad episode.
“And there is something else I was curious about.”
“Please speak.”
“Looks like something pretty funny happened while I was away.”
“The Ash Dormitory Incident.”
“That’s it too… …Caron Diplan.”
It was announced that Charon had died to protect the academy.
The students mourned Charon’s death, thinking that it was just because they didn’t know the whole story, but the academy officials probably found out that Charon was a black magician.
‘But it must have been hidden to keep the wind from blowing against it. not bad.’
To be hidden was like being buried soon without digging into any more details.
It was the direction I wanted, so I was quite satisfied with it.
That way, at least I won’t get caught.
But when the name Charon came out of Berial’s mouth, he suddenly began to feel uneasy.
I don’t know what you’re thinking, so it makes me scared.
“As far as I know, you seem to have had quite a close relationship with student Adrias.”
“I used to run errands sometimes. At that time, I had no money.”
“Well, since Adrias started earning money from patents, exchanges have waned.”
Did you catch the back?
I got a little goosebumps when I saw Berial talking casually as if he knew about my past.
“I’m still sorry. Such a person passed away due to unfortunate circumstances.”
“He was a very helpful person when I was having a hard time, and I was really sorry. Even though I haven’t been in touch lately, it’s true that I got help.”
I answered casually.
I’m curious about how Burial digs me. are you doubting me?
Then, Beryl turned her head and said.
“You have a guest.”
Then, as he said, the space twisted and someone appeared in an instant.
“What has the Mage Tower master done up to this point? I heard you went to the imperial palace.”
“I have something to say with Adrias.”
Bahat Alven pointed at me with a hasty look and gesture.
What’s going on? That look is fresh again.
Burial nodded with a strange exclamation, probably feeling the same way as I did.
“I still have something to say, but it’s not urgent, so I’ll give it to you.”
“thanks.”
Bahat immediately beckoned to me.
“Adrias.”
As I approached him, he grabbed me by the shoulder and immediately cast his spell.
As I felt before, the place changed in an instant and I arrived at Bahat’s office I had seen before.
Bahat immediately sat down in a chair and handed me the seat.
“Master of the Magic Tower, what’s going on?”
“Adrias.”
Uncharacteristically, I started to feel anxious after taking a break.
What are you talking about?
“I heard that you went out during vacation.”
“yes.”
Could it be that my whereabouts were discovered?
While getting a little anxious, Bahat slowly opened his mouth.
“Have you ever done anything that could have anything to do with Maximin Cronell?”
“Maximin Cronel?”
Why did that name come out all of a sudden?
But before that thought even came to pass.
Tiri-ri-ri-ri.
Bahat’s magic communicator rang.
Bahat looked at the communicator with uneasy eyes and begged for my understanding.
“Wait a minute.”
“yes.”
And when he gets the communicator… ….
– Lord of the Magic Tower!
“What is it?”
―Ma Maximin Cronell has arrived at the academy!
“what!”
Maximin… …to the academy?
What the hell is going on?
