Episode 197
EPISODE.99
[Listen to Russell Raymond. I also knew that none of the achievements you made for our country over the past few years were small. Not only that, but in suppressing this treason… … .]
A teaching given to oneself.
Russell’s eyes trembled from side to side uncharacteristically as he read the school magazine.
It has to be that way.
A duke, a duke, or a grand duke.
What kind of place was that?
[…] … He even achieved the 7th circle, so Jim added to the promise the royal family made with the Raymond family a long time ago… … .]
The position that only members of the royal family, especially those with qualifications, could hold was the Duke of Duchess.
That’s why the title of the first head of the family, Raymond, who was a founding contributor and 8th Circle wizard, stopped at marquis.
However, Russell ascended to the throne.
Although he became a member of the royal family as a sire, it was something that could only be called exceptional and unconventional.
That’s because, in the history of Endymion so far, there has never been a case where someone other than ‘Latmos’ became the duke.
[…] … While appreciating your merits, I would like to give you a suitable position as a member of the royal family. From the moment the teaching is issued, the status of Lord is promoted to Duke. Also, accordingly, the territory and tax collection rights… … .]
What followed was a series of comments about the various territories he had received as the King of the Dukes and advice that he should conduct himself more properly in the future.
Nothing before, nothing after.
While he was lying unconscious, Russell, who was to rewrite the history of Endymion, put down the teaching paper he was holding with a bewildered expression.
Pinch-.
“It seems like you don’t really feel it. “My dear.”
Hecate muttered while pulling Russell’s cheek.
“It has to be that way. “I was a little surprised when I first heard of His Majesty’s decision.”
“Can I just say I was surprised…? … .”
Daria giggled at the sight of those two people.
“When His Majesty first made that decision, I thought a bucket of cold water had been poured into the conference room.”
He added quickly.
“Nevertheless, seeing as there was no one particularly opposed… … “It means that everyone present recognizes your contribution.”
Of course, there may have been some among some great nobles who had a rebellious spirit.
Because the title of King of Kong was that special. However, these people also did not reveal their feelings outwardly.
Anyway, they are also great nobles who can be called the country’s leading figures.
As they were politically worn out, they knew well that it was not a good idea to increase the number of enemies.
‘In this current situation, you probably don’t know that it wouldn’t be good for you to get offended with the newly born Archmage of the 7th Circle.’
Daria’s eyes widened as she thought about that.
“however… … To make it more realistic, should I call you His Highness from today onwards?”
Anyone can see that he looks very playful. However, when Russell heard those words, he was startled and shook his head.
“Ugh, how can that be possible?”
One way or another, Daria is his teacher.
Even if he became a duke, it would be extremely inconvenient to be called ‘Your Highness’ by her and receive royal treatment.
Moreover, the owner of the King’s Tower was himself a status equal to or higher than the rank of marquis.
‘Still, it would be good to take this opportunity to sort things out.’
Russell thought about that and moved his gaze.
“It still doesn’t feel real, but… … .”
He looked back at his teacher, Daria, and his two brothers who were present and began speaking.
“Even if I became a duke, there is no need for the people here to show respect to me. “After all, I am Russell Raymond, Master’s disciple and priest of the executioners.”
Hubert smiled happily at Russell’s sincere words, and Daria nodded and giggled.
Not to be outdone, Vermilion also shouted loudly.
“Hahaha! “This is why I like the youngest priest!”
It was a warm moment that happened in the evening of the day Russell woke up.
.
.
After the people who filled the hospital room left, Russell, who was alone, looked out the window and opened a subspace.
‘Now… … .’
It was time to check the mission reward, which I had not been able to check due to the guest’s visit.
As soon as I can remember, magic stones start coming out like grapes.
widely-.
Next, a piece of parchment the size of two pages of a regular book was held in my hand.
‘This… … .’
If you pretend, you pretend.
Naturally, the true identity of the parchment was a map of a portion of the continent.
Russell smiled bitterly as he looked at the map that came in his hand and the letter X written on it.
‘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… … .’
Location marked on the map.
That place is—.

‘Empire… … .’
The only empire on the continent and Endymion’s long-time enemy.
Because it was the territory of Britannia.
* * *
Three days after that.
Russell, who was discharged from the hospital, was in a bustling reconstruction site in the royal capital.
Uuuuuung-.
As soon as I infuse magic, the stone tiles on the floor that had been scattered haphazardly rise into the air, and wow!
Quad, quack, quack!
Russell floated the tiles in the air and crushed them around like clay.
“Huh, heh… … .”
The sight of tiles floating in the air turning into huge lumps of dirt and being crushed is truly amazing.
The workers who were watching the scene burst into laughter, and then Russell spread his palms out.
Then, the lumps of dirt that had been clumped together began to break apart into tens or hundreds of pieces and divide into square shapes.
What appeared immediately afterward were hundreds of tiles with neat shapes that looked as if they had just been stamped.
The thing that was broken and cracked here and there was instantly transformed into something new in Russell’s hands.
Then, when Russell lowered the palm he had raised, ta-da-da-da-da-da-!
Tiles begin to be laid down along the floor at once, creating a wide public road.
“─!”
What I admired this time were not ordinary workers, but wizards belonging to the lineage of the Imperial Tower.
“Did you use gravity magic to levitate the broken and shattered tiles in the air, and use water magic to knead them?”
“The magic used to refine the shape was probably wind-attribute magic, and the hardening was done by fine-tuning fire-attribute magic… … .”
“You used earth attribute magic as a way to encompass all of those things.”
“Besides, not even a single bit of magical power was wasted. Is this possible? “I can’t believe it.”
“As expected…” … .”
Russell, the reason why someone like the Duke of the Kingdom was at the reconstruction site was simple.
Because Russell himself volunteered to do this.
‘To correct the sense of controlling magical power and to gradually adjust the broken balance.’
Affiliation of Flame Tower, lineage of Red Tower.
Although he is said to be skilled in fire and thunder attribute magic, he also learned the originality magic of past owners of the Imperial Tower lineage.
Therefore, there was also a lack of understanding of the properties of the land.
Kuddeuddeuk!
Following Russell’s fingertips, the earth rises and completes the wall.
‘hmm.’
It was the moment when Russell, who had finished separating the sections with a simple movement, was about to move on to the next task.
“Huff, gasp, gasp!”
From far away, a young man with a red robe running towards Russell.
He was a rookie wizard who had joined the Flame Tower for less than a year.
“Oh, Your Highness the Duke!”
At the sudden call, Russell stopped what he was doing and put down his hand. In the meantime, he ran in front of Russell, breathing heavily and shouting in an urgent voice.
“Ugh, huh. Huh. Wow, this is a message from the royal family.”
I wondered what had caused him to run so quickly, but it seemed like a message from the royal family had arrived at the Flame Tower.
When Russell nodded, as if asking him to speak, he took a deep breath and continued.
“Sir, Duke Shin Seong asks you to enter the palace immediately… … .”
He handed the royal order with the message written on it to Russell.
It was an unexpected entrance into the palace at this time.
‘What’s going on?’
I tilted my head and looked towards the palace.
“Thank you.”
Russell walked forward while lightly tapping the shoulder of the junior who had delivered the message.
What’s going on is-.
‘You’ll find out when you go in.’
.
.
When we arrived at the location written in the royal order, there were two people who had arrived first and were waiting.
Both are spherical.
“… … I’m here?”
A relaxed-looking, sleepy voice. On one side was Amelia Merwin, the tower owner of the Royal Capital’s White Tower, and on the other side was Olive, a wizard also belonging to the White Tower.
“See you, His Majesty the Duke.”
Olive, facing Russell, said hello, and Russell nodded with an awkward expression.
Amelia Merwin then spoke.
“I couldn’t go to visit the hospital. sorry. “Because I’m so busy.”
“it’s okay. “I was mostly unconscious anyway, and I was only awake for the last three days or so.”
Even if they had come to visit the patient, they would not have been able to talk properly. She nodded her head thoughtfully at Russell’s answer.
“huh. okay… … .”
Still a unique person. As I sat down with that in mind, a little while later, one more person arrived.
“A little late… … .”
It was Alan Page. Russell made eye contact just as he 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 Your Majesty the King.”
“Meet Your Majesty the King.”
Those who stood up at his appearance all bowed their heads.
“Let’s sit down for now.”
Then, I followed his gesture and sat down.
Chuck, Chuck-.
“The reason I have gathered the gentlemen like this today is because there is something I want them to do.”
“… … ?”
Unlike Russell, who had not heard anything, did he have any inkling?
Amelia Merwin gave an indifferent look.
“It’s not that big of a deal, and I’d like someone to guide me.”
“If you are a guide, then who…” … ?”
It was Amelia Merwin who answered Russell’s question.
“I am a fairy.”
I remembered that we had decided to provide a place for the fairies who had lost their place to live due to this incident until the great forest was restored.
Then, the tip of her finger was aimed at Russell.
“Dukes are beasts.”
“ah!”
It’s already that time. Russell quietly exclaimed, feeling that the time for the migration of the beastmen was fast approaching.
“The other two were called to serve as assistants to the ministers… … .”
The king, with his tongue slurred, muttered to Russell.
“I’m sorry. I know it hasn’t been long since I woke up from my hospital bed, but… … , I guess it seems best to be guided by the beast people.”
Of all the people in Endymion, it was Russell who had the strongest connection with the beast people.
“Can you do it?”
“hmm… … .”
Russell, who fell asleep for a moment, nodded.
“Russell Raymond, Duke of Endymion, will follow your Majesty’s orders.”
Is there anything special that can happen when I’m just providing guidance? It was with that thought.
Of course, I am a little concerned about the belligerence of Beast King Muyaho… … .
‘I’m sure you wouldn’t want to jump into a fight with me, who is still a patient.’
However, it wasn’t someone I couldn’t communicate with.
But Russell didn’t know.
What kind of trouble will this migration of Muyaho and the beast people bring? … .
Unfortunately.
Russell didn’t know at the time.
