Episode 74
EPISODE.37
[You have consumed a high-grade magic stone (edible).]
[Acquire the magic power in the mana stone.]
[The circle’s mana increases.]
After consuming all the magic stones he had accumulated so far, Russell slowly closed his eyes.
I started the circle work with my eyes closed.
The work of strengthening the existing mana and building up the newly received mana to build a castle.
Ugh-.
In silence, the five circles begin to rotate, each creating their own harmony.
The newly received magic power is slowly overlaid on top of it.
Kyareuk-?
Pepper, who was playing ball nearby, looked up at Russell’s change.
He left the ball he was playing with and quietly approached Russell.
It curled its head and tail into a coil.
‘guy.’
Russell laughed to himself.
Contractor doing circling work.
It may have been my own act to protect Russell, but it was quite cute.
Kyark-.
Pepper, perhaps reading Russell’s thoughts, shot back firmly.
Don’t think about anything else and just focus.
It seemed like he was saying that.
However, contrary to Pepper’s worries, Russell was not negligent in his circle ring work.
Rather, I was trying my best to concentrate.
Nevertheless, other thoughts are possible…
‘Does this mean that the limit of mental power has increased that much?’
Inside the ruins, after passing the test of intuition and understanding, the total amount of mental power Russell possessed had increased incomparably compared to before.
Moreover, the golden mask slung over his shoulder was also relieving his mental burden.
Therefore, it was not that difficult to continue the circle work and think about the future.
‘Until the materials that Elder Spiegelman said he would provide arrive… … , it will take a little more time.’
The problem that needs to be urgently solved right now is the writing of the report.
A report on ruins and relics that must be submitted to Master Daria and the Flame Tower.
‘hmm.’
So, little by little, I started picturing in my head what I would write at the beginning of the report.
Soon Russell’s ideas reached the Cabinet of Ministers.
There was nothing particularly special about it.
This is just what happened as I followed the stream of consciousness.
‘It’s a cabinet meeting.’
If we interpret its literal meaning, it is simply a place to discuss state affairs.
However, the cabinet meeting held this full moon was a little special.
‘I guess so.’
Because it was not an ordinary cabinet meeting, but one of only two meetings held a year.
‘Divided into summer and winter, this is an opportunity to look back on previous policies and draw a blueprint for running the country.’
In other words, it was not much different from saying that it was a position that decided half a year of the country.
As the place was a place, the faces of those attending were also unusual.
‘A meeting attended by high-ranking officials and ministers from each ministry, as well as great nobles from the capital.’
Those who are qualified to attend despite not holding official positions are superhumans who are said to have overcome human barriers.
‘Only Masters.’
Of course, it is not mandatory for masters.
In reality, most superhumans did not attend the cabinet meeting.
However, what is important to note here is that it is an event that only great people can attend.
It is a festival of stars in a different sense from the Magic Tower Association.
He ended up attending such an event.
‘He’s not a high-ranking official or a nobleman, much less a master.’
Of course, Russell wasn’t the only one attending.
The list of those attending included not only Alan Page but also Spiegelman.
Moreover, it’s not like there hasn’t been an attendee like this before.
‘I’ve heard stories of people who made outstanding achievements compared to their age or rank being called away.’
However, none of them were younger than Russell.
‘You should think of this as an opportunity.’
An opportunity to once again impress the surname Raymond among the high-ranking figures in this country and Endymion.
‘If we go one step further, Count Wei will also be able to recover.’
The Raymond family, a family of founding contributors.
Russell recalled a special privilege granted only to his family.
‘A special case in which the title of earldom can be restored when a 5th circle wizard is born, and the title of marquess can be restored when a 7th circle wizard is born.’
There is no need to discuss now how much frustration and time it took to get to this point.
For now, just enjoying this sentiment was enough.

The Cabinet meeting will be held in about a week from now. Russell smiled faintly as he thought of the day he would meet soon after.
.
.
After that.
Until the cabinet meeting began, Russell’s daily life went smoothly without any special events.
Through circle work.
We continued to stabilize the circles that had just crossed the wall.
Of course, at the same time, I did not forget to write reports to submit to Daria and Flame Tower whenever I had time.
‘A mission that can only be completed by submitting a report.’
If you complete this mission, you will be able to obtain the heart of the dragon that you saw the day before as a reward.
Things are being accomplished one by one.
However, what was disappointing was the report sent by Spiegelman not long ago.
Could it be because the stone tablet on which the phrase was written was so badly damaged?
Other than the name ‘Dragon God King’ being recorded, there was no particularly useful information to be found.
Well, when it comes to arrogance, dragons are beings that have no equal under heaven.
He also had that level of ability.
A being that these people revere as a god and a king.
It is not a fictional story, but rather an amazing situation that records remain.
‘Tsk.’
Russell clicked his tongue as he recalled the report he had just read.
For a moment, he muttered in a voice that had accepted reality.
‘It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do.’
Spiegelman also said so in advance.
For now, I can only be satisfied with the fact that I learned the name Dragon God King.
And as time goes by… … .
Finally, the full moon day of the Cabinet meeting has arrived.
* * *
“Your Majesty the King, please eat-!!”
With a shout from the Chamberlain, the door to the conference room opened, and a man with a strong build appeared.
Purple hair, which can be said to be a symbol of the royal family, and a strong impression as if wrapped in the bravery of a lion.
He was truly a man whose appearance was made by molding the word ‘king’ like clay.
It has to be that way.
This man who has appeared now is the owner of the second largest country on the continent after the empire, and is also the king of Endymion.
Because it was Alfonso Latmos.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk-.
The sound of the man’s shoes echoing throughout the conference room.
The ministers who were in the hall with him stood up and bowed their heads.
Chuck, Chuck.
The royal magic tower owners sitting at the head of the table were no exception.
The King looked around at them with lion-like eyes and headed to the head of the table with familiar steps.
“Stop. Since we are gathered here for state affairs and there is urgent agenda to be taken care of, I will skip the usual formalities.”
He turned and opened his mouth.
“Everyone please take your seats.”
It’s a voice that doesn’t contain any magic or aura.
Nevertheless, the king’s voice was full of power.
Only after confirming that all the officials and royal nobles who had risen to their seats were seated, did the king open his mouth.
He was looking back at the owners of the Four Great Magic Towers who were sitting in their seats.
“This would normally be a meeting you wouldn’t have to attend, but I’m sorry for having you attend anyway. Since the agenda was an agenda, I couldn’t help but ask the officers’ opinions.”
“no. your majesty. “Even though I am an old man, I must attend whenever His Majesty needs me.”
Hemingway skillfully responded to the king’s words.
Daria and Nicolo also nodded.
However, due to his small body, only the image of Baektapju dozing off while leaning on a chair was not properly revealed.
“Thank you for thinking that way. Well then, let’s start the story right away. “First of all, the first agenda will be the activities of cultists, which have become more frequent in recent years, and the contents of the report.”
One breath.
Concluding his remarks there, King Alfonso confirmed the faces of the tower owners.
“First of all, I would like to hear the opinions of the owners of the Royal Capital’s Magic Tower regarding this situation.”
Coincidentally, there was also a meeting of the four tower owners not long ago.
“All right. your majesty.”
Hemingway responded politely and relayed the contents of the meeting that had recently taken place.
“hmm.”
After a moment passed, the King nodded with an expression of understanding.
“It’s a conclusion that can be made in a situation where there is a lack of clues. Do you think it would be a good idea to inform the lords and mayors of each city about this as well?”
“If the rumor that cultists are working secretly becomes known, it will cause anxiety in the lives of the people. Is that okay?”
Rustling.
When did you get it? Daria asked as she peeled the cinnamon candy.
Unlike usual, his expression didn’t show the slightest hint of playfulness, but he couldn’t help but eat some snacks.
The king did not find fault with Daria’s behavior.
He nodded as if he was used to it and expressed his thoughts.
“Isn’t that precisely why the youngest disciple of the two was summoned to the cabinet meeting?”
“You mean Alan?”
“What about the youngest?”
Hemingway and Daria asked at the same time.
What does controlling the anxiety of the people’s livelihood have to do with their disciples, so they say things like that?
“As the darkness becomes deeper, the light also becomes clearer. “Nothing is more helpful to the safety of people’s lives than having someone to trust and rely on.”
Of course, this is only the first step, but…
“Today, I plan to make those friends into heroes who will lead the next generation of this country.”
King Alfonso Ratmos concluded his remarks like this.
Along with that, a commotion covered the hall like a rushing wave.
!!!
.
.
“hmm-.”
The positions of Allen, Spiegelman, and Russell came after all the meetings had concluded.
Even though he was ordered to attend, it was natural because he had no position to actually be involved in state affairs.
“hmm… … .”
Therefore, they gathered in one place and waited until the cabinet meeting ended.
Of course, I wasn’t just waiting.
I changed into a tailcoat brought by several maids.
After that, two or more maids came together to touch her hair and apply makeup to her face.
“Hmm… … .”
Take a moment to look at yourself in the mirror.
He moved his body around as if he felt awkward.
No matter how many times I saw my face neatly organized and made up with an unknown scented oil, I couldn’t get used to it.
‘The clothes are uncomfortable.’
Spiegelman spoke to Russell.
“It might be quite uncomfortable, but just wait a moment. “It’s an opportunity to meet His Majesty the King, so you can’t just leave in vain.”
“… … All right.”
Russell had no choice but to sit down. He turned his head and looked at Alan sitting next to him.
Unlike him, he seems to have adapted well without any awkwardness.
Is he really the second son of a great noble family?
‘I’d better practice too.’
count.
If you want to live as a noble from now on, it would be better to get used to it.
With that in mind, I’ll try to get used to the uncomfortable clothes for a while.
“!”
Russell and Alan turned their heads at the same time.
Outside the waiting room, a commotion was heard from beyond the door.
“Wow, Her Royal Highness… … ?!”
Hurry up with a bustling movement and a startled cry!
The door to the waiting room opened.
