Episode 231
EPISODE.116
An emergency meeting convened for the first time using the authority of the Archduke.
As such, the faces of those who attended the meeting were by no means easy.
Starting with Alfonso Ratmos, the king, Hecate Ratmos is the regent and next heir to the throne.
In addition, the lords of the four major magic towers currently remaining in the royal capital, Gillian Pearlson, a master-level Auror user, as well as the ministers of each national ministry… … .
I just haven’t used it until now.
It was a sight that clearly showed how powerful Russell’s position as archduke was.
Of course, the reason the King, who was clearly higher than the Grand Duke, attended the event was due to the special nature of the agenda.
Russell opened his mouth as he looked around at the people gathered.
“actually… … .”
I started explaining.
The not-too-long explanation came to an end, and Hecate, who had been listening to the story with a serious expression while the atmosphere became heavy, asked back.
“So, what the Archduke is saying now is that the series of events occurring throughout the country are related to abnormal phenomena in the spirit world?”
A completely different tone from usual.
I couldn’t help it.
This is a public position.
In terms of political hierarchy, the positions of the regent and the archduke were almost equal.
Russell nodded, making eye contact with her.
“yes. That’s right.”
“hmm… … .”
Short silence.
Next, her father and king, Alfonso Ratmos, opened his mouth and asked:
“What do you think?”
A question that addresses the opinions of others other than Russell. It was the Minister of State who spoke on behalf of others in response to the King’s question posed to them at a glance.
“your majesty. “May God please say a word?”
Starting from a commoner, he rose to various positions and became the Minister of State. He was a prominent figure in many ways even among the great and small officials.
In addition, the fact that he survived for more than several decades in the jungle-like royal political world proved his ability and qualifications.
Above all, he was a person who knew balance and center in politics, where it was important to harmonize royal authority and divine authority.
“Please tell me.”
When the king gave permission, he bowed his head slightly and continued speaking.
“It is a fact that is difficult to believe because there is no basis or evidence whatsoever… … Considering Archduke Raymond’s actions so far, I believe it is highly likely that this is not just an empty guess.”
This wasn’t simply because Russell’s skills were overwhelming for his age.
Not only did he never fail in his assigned mission, but when the rebellion occurred, he appeared in the royal capital with mysterious powers and fought against the rebels.
A move that does not deviate from the right path. Russell’s actions were a great example not only to wizards but also to the great and small gods.
As the Minister of State opened his mouth, the other ministers also added their words one by one.
First, the Minister of National Defense spoke out.
“It is a bit unfortunate to divert a force as large as the Archduke elsewhere in a situation where war with the empire may be just around the corner, but wouldn’t what is happening within the country be just as serious?”
Next is the Minister of Finance.
“Among the contents of the report, the damage to farms and merchants was also significant. It is said that there is no problem right now because there are goods stored up, but it is unknown what will happen if the war begins in earnest. “I believe it is right to resolve the problem quickly before that happens.”
The other ministers also added their words, and the king’s gaze moved again.
I looked at Daria and Hemingway, who were sitting at the head of the table rather than the ministers of each ministry.
Since it was a matter related to spirits, it seemed like he wanted to hear the opinions of two wizards.
“Magic and elementalism seem similar at first glance, but their beginnings and endings are quite different. your majesty.”
Hemingway quickly read the king’s intention and opened his mouth.
“And Archduke Raymond is currently the only human spiritist left on the continent. “His existence itself can be said to be the basis.”
“It means that not only the justification but also the basis is clear.”
The king let out a short sigh while summarizing the opinions of the major and minor officials and Hemingway.
“Pillars of Endymion, Archduke Russell Raymond, listen.”
He said facing Russell.
“The pride of the kingdom and the stability of the domestic situation. “It would be impossible to place more weight on one side or the other between these two.”
A voice full of majesty resonates lightly in the surroundings and spreads throughout the conference room.
“As someone who just sits down and reports on things, even if only belatedly, I don’t have anything else to say other than this.”
That’s the king… … Despite his role as a monarch, the king opened his mouth again, expressing his deepest regret.
“The spirit world is an unknown land where not much is known to us yet. please… … “Please come back safely.”
Russell responded to the king’s words by kneeling on the floor.
“God, Russell Raymond. “I accept His Majesty’s words.”
.
.
As long as the king’s permission has been obtained, there will be no more rough things.
As soon as the meeting ended, Russell headed straight to Abett Forest.
To be exact, it was in the northern part of the forest, where the elves’ residence was located.
The reason why Russell was in such a hurry was simple.
An abnormal phenomenon that occurred within the territory of one’s own country was not immediately a big problem, but… … .
‘Even if only a little time passes, it will spread to significant damage.’
If this phenomenon truly occurred in connection with problems in the spirit world, it was clear that the more serious the problems in the spirit world became, the greater the repercussions would spread.
Purr!
Pepper also increased her flight speed as if she was in a hurry.

Hahahaha!
The surrounding scenery is changing at an incredible speed.
The speed is as fast as if you were sprinting through space.
The split wind flutters in all directions like a blade, creating the illusion of distorting space.
A question crossed Russell’s mind as he stroked the back of Pepper’s neck.
‘But what was Pepper thinking when she tried to take me into the spirit world?’
I could fully understand the guy’s desire to ask for help with a problem that arose in the spirit world.
The question was who taught Pepper that method.
‘Purely Pepper’s thoughts? If not… … .’
Pepper’s power as a Spirit Fire Dragon can be said to be almost the peak among many spirits.
If there is a being that can be summoned through such pepper—.
At that moment, wow!
Pepper flapped her wings loudly and burst into tears. A sudden stop that does not require any turning to reduce speed.
After confirming that he has reached his destination, Russell immediately jumps off Pepper’s back.
Hahahaha!
As the altitude decreased, the trees in the forest, which had been spread out like green drawing paper, took shape one by one.
What can be seen between them are several elves looking up at the sky.
Among them were Arain and Io, meneurs of the elves.
Just like last time, he seemed to have recognized his visit.
‘Reverse Gravity.’
chuck-!
As soon as he lands on the floor with the gravity reversal magic, Arain and Io come towards Russell.
“Even if it wasn’t, I was waiting. “Benefactor.”
“The door to the spirit world is a little… … !?”
Russell stopped speaking. She said she was waiting, without hiding the question mark that appeared in her head.
“yes?”
.
.
“actually… … .”
What Io showed Russell, who was embarrassed, was a small brooch.
Just like Russell’s soother, a brooch made of platinum and encrusted with four jewels.
“Isn’t this a pass?”
And surprisingly, it wasn’t just Io who had a pass.
Arain also had the same type of pass as Io.
Apparently, not long ago, it was said to be a rare item that could only be found in clan torture.
I never thought I would have two passes in just a few days.
“How on earth did this happen?”
It was Arain who started explaining to Russell, who was confused.
“It was around this morning that my mother and daughter received this pass from the spirits.”
“If this morning… … .”
It was also this morning that Pepper bit Russell’s wrist and pulled him to the spirit world.
At the same time, Io and Arain also received passes to the spirit world from the spirits they had contracted with.
“Sylphir handed me the passes… … “It seemed like he was asking for help.”
“Same goes for my Nixie.”
Sylphyr and Nixie were the names of the higher spirits of wind and water, respectively.
“If it was true that the spirits were asking for help, I thought this fact would have been conveyed to Russell in some way.”
That was also the reason why Io and Arain were waiting for Russell.
If this fact had been communicated to them, it was clear that they would have come to use the elf village to use the door leading to the spirit world.
“hmm.”
Russell, who was drooling, nodded and took out the soother he had kept in his pocket.
“It’s just as you thought.”
He then glanced up at Pepper landing on his head and said.
“When I woke up in the morning, this guy was dragging my arm and struggling to get into the spirit world.”
“That means… … .”
“It seems like something big has happened in the spirit world.”
Russell, the 7th Circle Master, and Io, who has the power of the Silver Dragon.
In addition, there is Arain, who is a Meneur of the elves and has abilities beyond that of a normal superhuman.
All three are spiritists and at the same time powerful men in the material world.
If I had to name the three strongest among spiritists, these three’s names would definitely be included.
If you ask all three for help, it probably isn’t an ordinary problem.
“I think we should visit the spirit world as soon as possible.”
Io nodded at Russell’s words.
“Even if that wasn’t the case, I was preparing from the morning just in case.”
.
.
It takes about three days to open the door to the spirit world.
During that time, Russell was watching the ritual going on to open the door.
The idea was to learn how to open the door in case I had to visit the spirit world again in the future.
‘Focus stones, rocks in the form of layers of strata, water drawn from a spring at dawn, and that… … ‘Is it an albatross feather?’
The objects used in the ritual were each deeply related to the spirits of the four major attributes.
Of course, that does not mean that these items are difficult to obtain.
If you make up your mind and try to save them, you can save them all within a few hours.
The problem was next.
Time passes by, and finally the third day arrives and the moment the consciousness reaches its peak!
──────────♬.
The melody that flowed from Arain and Io’s mouths gently swept across the hall.
The moment Russell heard that tune, he had no choice but to give up on the idea of knowing how.
‘Ancient language of the fairy tribe… … !’
It wasn’t difficult to recognize the letters that make up the melody.
However, creating it with sound and rhythm is an area not permitted to humans.
Vocalization that can never be achieved with the human vocal cord structure.
‘Is this a tone that can only be produced by the vocal cords unique to the Fairy tribe, or is it a melody created using that tone?’
───────♪.
──────────♬!
Arain and Io’s harmony is growing stronger.
The four objects used in the ritual began to resonate.
Ugh-!
In an instant, the spirit’s energy began to surge throughout the area, distorting the space.
The mother and daughter stopped singing as the entrance to the spirit world was revealed.
Hahahaha!
