Episode 155
Weil family
After a storm swept through the Central Magic Agency.
Chaif frowned when he saw the envelope Brian held out to him.
“What is this?”
[Resignation]
Resignation out of nowhere.
I couldn’t help but be taken aback because nothing had been said so far.
“sorry.”
Brian didn’t make any excuses and only apologized. He had no idea what the hard face was thinking.
Chaif looked back and forth between Sajikgye and Brian and clicked his tongue lightly.
“I’m doing this because of what the Mervinger matriarch said. Right?”
“… .”
“… “That’s right.”
Chaif had to sigh lightly as he looked at Brian who said nothing.
Actually, I was worried about this.
The declaration Elric made by gathering reporters together and throwing it like a bomb was that great.
‘You mean Yeongjijeon? It was truly a very clever frame.’
In this world, the power of family history and history is still very strong. The power of the famous gate was so great.
However, the reason why prestigious schools are evaluated as great is only because they have a lot of talented people thanks to their systematic system. As in the past, the respect and public influence of a particular family had largely disappeared.
You can tell that just by looking at Mervinger. It is said that it has produced an outstanding figure called the ‘Star Mage’ and boasts a long history and tradition. The fact that he had to remain silent for over 30 years without any significant power was proof of this.
Therefore, the current era could be said to be the era of heroes, not families.
An era in which the power granted to humans by heaven is evaluated to have reached its peak.
Just 100 years ago, the 9th Circle’s great wizards, who were treated as demigods, now number more than ten roaming the world.
The five chains of superiors who were called superhumans now existed in eight under the name of lions.
In addition, there were absolute figures from places such as the Protestant Alliance and the Inspection Bureau, and outside the empire, there were also heads of groups such as the Free Revolutionary Army.
So what’s underneath?
There were so many that it was difficult to remember their names.
There are too many people who can be said to be the absolute rulers of an era coexisting.
Unlucky heroes who were born in the wrong era.
However, on the contrary, it was inevitable that the world’s attention would now be focused on the hero’s potential rather than the family’s history.
Elric Mervinger was a man who excitedly declared that he was a hero in such an era of heroes.
And of course… The appearance of a new hero is always enough to make people’s hearts flutter.
Moreover, since he cried out for justice with his family’s history on his back, the effect was truly unprecedented.
-But as you all know, I am only one person. There were only two people left in the family, me and my sister. However, the person I am trying to fight against is Go Soo, who was once mentioned as a candidate for the Blue Lion.
-If I keep fighting like this, I might lose. No, it won’t. Still, I plan to fight.
-Please support me like that. Please help the star not to fall, not to be obscured by darkness, and to eventually shine again. As long as I have your support, I will continue to walk silently until the stars shine again.
‘He’s very good at taking advantage of media attention and public goodwill. I know very well the meaning of propaganda.’
Elric thoroughly portrayed himself as a tragic protagonist oppressed by the world. On the other hand, Paul Weil became a representative of the old system that ruled the world.
At the same time, he cleverly brought up Ousden Mervinger, an old hero who remains deep in the hearts of the world.
Even in the face of the demon king’s army, which poured in like a strong wave in the Great Demon War, he never flinched and silently blocked them, and by projecting it onto himself, he stimulated the nostalgia of the world.
Elric knew how to use the weapons given to him very well.
And he knew very well how to get people to like him, regardless of gender or age.
Thanks to this, I have now gone from being a ‘hero of Lascent’ to becoming a complete ‘hero’.
That’s why talented people like Brian were agitated.
You might wonder whether he, who normally has cool-headed thinking and judgment, would fall for such an obvious trick.
Rather, because he is such a talented person, he wants to create a new world.
They know very well how talented they are. That’s why he wanted to leave his mark on a changing world.
Of course, in the eyes of Chaif, who was already over half a century old, all of that seemed like an illusion.
The kind of blood that can only be dreamed of in youth.
Young people believe that they can change the world with such spirit… well?
Didn’t he also have an exciting childhood?
At the time, he was even called a genius in his own way. I also experienced firsthand the turbulent period of the Great Hemp War. However, as I started a family and settled down, I was whittled down by the waves of time, and now only cynicism remains.
“Do you know what this means?”
So I had no choice but to disapprove of this Sajik system.
Even if Brian was intoxicated with youthful energy and pursued his ideals right now, it was as obvious as fire what the results would be.
Frustration and despair. Well, if I can express it that way, I did better than I thought.
“I know very well.”
“no. “You don’t know.”
“no. “I know it very well.”
“I don’t know.”
“I know.”
“hmm… !”
Chaif cut Brian off several times, but each time, Brian answered firmly. And the eyes sank even deeper.
This meant that it was not a simple impulse, but a conclusion reached after long and deep consideration and reflection.
This could never be defeated.
In the end, Chaif let out a sigh as he fell to the ground.
And he resolutely tore down the Sajik line.

“Commissioner… !”
For a moment, there was a lot of anger in Brian’s eyes.
“Let’s treat it as if the leave report has been submitted.”
“yes… ?”
Brian’s eyes widened at Chaif’s calm answer.
Chaif still had a sour expression on his face.
“I will handle it as a leave of absence. Don’t worry, I’ll set the deadline myself. You can run as wild as you want in the meantime. Then, I come back when I get bored, tired, or feel like this is not the path for me.”
“… !”
“Of course, wandering in youth is inevitable. Who has a firm path from the beginning? Then, by chance, you come across the right path, and sometimes you end up going back the way you came.”
“… .”
“The Central Magic Agency will be that ‘way we came’. “Wouldn’t that work?”
Brian’s eyes lit up when he finally realized Chaif’s deep meaning. And as he took his stance, he bowed his waist.
“thank you.”
“That’s it. Don’t get hurt when you come back. “It’s difficult to deal with industrial accidents.”
Chaif waved his hand in annoyance and ordered the guests to leave.
Thanks to this, Brian’s steps as he left the commissioner’s office were light.
To dream of a new era.
It was his first step.

[Elric Mervinger’s lightning declaration!]
[Resurrection of Yeongjijeon. The confrontation between Mervinger and Weil. What is the end?]
[Paul Weil, who is he?]
[Currently, Paul Weil’s title is revealed to be Viscount.]
[How will the Viscount’s dream of failing to assassinate the Duke end?]
[Nobility Committee expresses strong concerns about this issue.]
[The Magic Tower sends a letter of protest to the Bile family.]
[Imperial Family, “There are no plans to issue a statement yet.”]
“You’re making a lot of noise.”
Paul Weil spoke in a calm tone, but Hilton was not unaware of the deep anger contained in it.
Like an ordinary martial artist, Paul tended to express his emotions in some way when they got stronger.
However, the fact that he shows such a cold attitude means that his anger has gone far beyond the range of what can be expressed.
“What can I say about this? “Is there a separate one?”
“My face… doesn’t exist. “It’s all my fault.”
Hilton couldn’t lift his dropped head.
Even the annihilation of Cheongrang would be a painful mistake, and the media is even willing to talk like this.
Because of this, Paul’s supporters, who remained within the Weil family, were gradually shaking.
Even if I defeated Hermann, I was worried about whether I would be able to completely restore the family.
Even if there is, it will take a considerable amount of time.
Or only the chaff remains.
“Then you have to die.”
Puhwaak!
Without hesitation, Paul swung his knife and struck the head of the man who had been his right-hand man and advisor for a long time.
Hilton, who had no idea that his life would be taken away, tried to say something, but by then his head had already rolled on the floor, bleeding.
The civil servants who were waiting outside opened the door, came in, and began to remove the body. While I was quickly wiping away the blood stains, the deputy approached me and bowed his head.
“The Inspection Bureau sent someone.”
“Those guys? why?”
“We are asking how you will respond to territory warfare.”
“Damn things.”
Paul frowned.
Around the time when Hermann fell into a state of paralysis, they were the ones who offered to help and encouraged him to take the lead in the family, but they backed out when the situation was not going well.
However, when Elric Mervinger escalated the incident even further, it seemed that the spark fell on his feet.
Well, for them, it’s not enough to focus on the Red Lion’s rebellion and raise the imperial family’s achievements, and they can’t help but be annoyed because they’re about to lose all the issues to Mervinger.
It was clear that he was trying to convince me to solve this problem somehow.
“Hold… No, don’t answer anything. “They are the ones who are anxious anyway, so they will take care of it.”
For Paul, it was important to put out his urgent fire right now.
“Once you’ve cleaned everything up, it’s gone!”
The adjutants and ministers also hurriedly left the office.
Even in the alone space, his distorted expression showed no signs of straightening.
“It looks like you’re finally interested in talking to us. How do you feel? “Our proposal we made back then is still valid.”
At that time, a faint laugh was heard from the window.
Paul’s fierce gaze darted in that direction.
There stood a woman with a curved horn like a goat hanging from one of her temples.
It was a demon.
* * *
The day when the match between Hermann and Paul was supposed to take place.
Elric was able to meet Isabel while moving with the Blue Hawk.
“Isabel, your hair… ?”
“I tried cutting it a little bit. how is it?”
Instead of having long hair that reached her waist, Isabel had short hair that only reached her shoulders.
Perhaps because of that, his previously calm and elegant impression seemed to have somehow become more lively.
Should we say that there has been a change from a passive image to a proactive image? There was something about her that gave off a completely different feeling from the previous Isabelle.
“It suits you well… !”
“Not like that.”
“It’s pretty.”
“Then that’s it.”
Isabel continued speaking with a grin.
“Today I was finally able to hang my enemy. So, you can’t look weak.”
Elric nodded.
It was because it reminded me of the time I saw at Yeti Plateau.
My heart must have been filled with joy because I was finally able to get my revenge.
“It’s all thanks to Elric. “On behalf of the family, I would like to thank you again.”
Isabel bows her head.
That moment.
썄썤썤셍-
I could hear the sound of a filming magic tool turning somewhere. This meant that there were reporters everywhere covering this place.
It seems like they are trying to make the issue bigger by continuing to expose the solidarity between the Blue Lion and Mervinger to the outside world… .
The psychological pressure that Paul Weil would be under would have been enormous.
This meant that Isabel had as good a judgment of the situation as Elric.
‘also. The military leader is amazing.’
Elric’s eyes lit up.
‘I think it would be great to have someone like this as a staff member.’
