Part 2 Episode 40
inspector general
Black collapsed, and there was silence in the hearing room.
Let’s do that for a while.
“egg plant.”
The one who moved first was Chrome Hell.
He smiled mysteriously at Elric and left the hearing hall with the Golden Lion and Princess Shiro.
“Woe, prince!”
“Please wait a moment!”
Then the reporters inside rushed out after him.
A brief commotion passed and silence came again. This time Elric turned her head.
In the direction of the six-pointed stars.
“Keuhum!”
Then they cleared their throats and avoided Elric’s gaze.
Even though he was staring at me, he seemed to be desperately avoiding my gaze.
The ‘Neresta family’, a family that boasts the most political and hegemonic control, not unlike a wizard.
The ‘Kuno family’ is said to have a warlike personality as a warrior who controls fire.
The ‘Adenauer School’, which pursues middle peasantry and mercantilism, is considered one of the top five.
The ‘Papen family’ is said to follow death and rarely show itself to the outside world.
Although they are called the ‘School’, they are actually the ‘People of the Hanoverian Party’, where many different types of magicians have united for freedom.
But no matter what image they have, they were once the opposite of Mervinger and yet together led the magic world.
Of course, it is bound to be uncomfortable.
However, Mephisto, who did not know such a relationship, wondered why Yuk Mang-seong, whom he had only heard about, was like that.
『Didn’t they say that among the humans, they woke up and snorted? But, he doesn’t want to make eye contact with you.』
[It has to be that way. Those people must all be burdened by our family.]
『Burden of the heart?』
[It’s like selling that thing and now enjoying prosperity.]
It was a time when Ousden Mervinger died and the Mervinger family was on the road to decline.
In the background where the vassals who followed Mervinger left, there was a magic tower.
They tried in many ways not only to encourage those who were worried, but also to attract them to their side.
The thousand-year magic history that Mervinger enjoyed was so deep that not even the Magic Tower could do anything about it.
Perhaps he wanted to have at least a piece of it.
If you look at it that way, it’s like abetting Mervinger’s downfall.
Mephisto clicked his tongue as if he was dumbfounded by Elric’s explanation.
『This is ridiculous. To us, Mervinger is extremely annoying, but wasn’t he at least a hero to humans?』
[I think the war is over, this is the time. Everything in the world is like that, well.]
『It’s not the history of the world, but the original human race.』
Is it because there is such a past?
All of the six stars had an uncomfortable expression on their faces.
“It looks like I’m very uncomfortable?”
Startle!
They trembled at those words.
I also saw a few people clearing their throats and turning their heads.
“Why do these faces always seem to be sad that I’m not dead?”
Despite the sarcasm that followed, they did not make eye contact with Elric.
Except for just one person.
It was then that someone opened their mouth.
“You’re so arrogant.”
“… ?”
Everyone’s eyes, including Elric, turned towards that direction.
One of the Six Stars, Repentra, was a wise man.
The one who ascended to the new Six Mangsung Castle in place of the head of the Papen clan who died in the Eastern Rebellion.
Are you saying that he is the younger brother of Jeondae Munju?
Because of that, he did not like Mervinger, who had acquired the Nameless who killed Munju of the previous generation, even in normal times.
“No matter how recently your fortune has skyrocketed, we are all personally seniors to you. “No matter how much you think the Neresta matriarch thinks you’re pretty, why do you behave like this?”
The other Six Stars gave him a glance to tell him to do it in moderation, but Repent didn’t pay any attention.
Guy just watched the situation between the two with interest.
“Make no mistake, Mervinger. “No matter how great your ancestors were, you are just a fledgling who has just reached your ‘position’.”
The ‘seat’ that Lepent was talking about meant the right to sit across from them.
It means that he is a fresh blue junior who would not have even looked sick.
“Oh, is that so?”
Elric answered indifferently and slowly approached Repent with his back turned.
Across the increasingly tall council seats, Elric raised his head and asked.
“But who are you?”
“W-what?”
A truly innocent expression that says you don’t know anything.
Embarrassment appeared on Repent’s face.
Let’s do that for a while.

bang!
He jumped up and shouted, slamming down on the assembly seat.
My face was turning red.
“Are you trying to taunt me now! Or is he just naturally that arrogant about things in the world?”
“Ah, now I remember. I know that Papen Moonju, who was previously there, died and sat in the vacant seat… “Isn’t that a little strange?”
Elric tilted his head and curled up one side of his lip.
“Repent, Repent… . No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think there is any achievement that can compare to other Yukmangseong people. How did you become Yukmangseong? Kickback? Or Baek?”
“How dare you call it a pierced mouth!”
That was actually the case.
Quang!
Repent’s face was red, as if it was about to explode at any moment.
Actually, if you think about it, it wasn’t wrong.
Unlike other Yuk Mang-seong who made significant contributions in the Great Demon War, he did not achieve much fame.
His magic skills were also the lowest among the two.
“There’s nothing this little guy can’t say! If an adult gives you advice, you will just nod your head and listen. Bringing up something that didn’t happen… !”
“So what did you do when you were my age?”
“… what?”
“Did you try to catch a demon, or even find a demon hiding in the empire? Did you pass the mage exam the fastest? “I don’t think they hatched a dragon that is said to be extinct.”
“… .”
Elric’s words pour out non-stop.
Repent, who had nothing to say in reply, could only keep his lips pursed.
“If you bring up your age, why don’t you come with something worthy of respect?”
“This is still… !”
It was when energy was about to spread out from Repent’s body.
Hwaaaah!
“Let’s stop there.”
The moment Guy uttered one word in a low voice, the spirit of death disappeared like a lie.
Repent sat down in his seat with a deep frown. He said he had calmed down, but his clenched fists still seemed to keep his anger from cooling down.
Guy said, looking back.
“I know very well that there are many things going on between the Magic Tower and Mervinger. But the Mervinger family and the Neresta family are allies. So, I hope we can have a relationship with as little discomfort as possible.”
Opening his eyes slightly, Guy glanced at the other six-pointed stars.
Even without having to say anything, they could tell what Guy was talking about.
This means that we will not just sit by and watch this further commotion.
It was a clear warning.
They looked somewhat embarrassed, but one by one their expressions relaxed and they began to laugh awkwardly.
“That is correct. “The past is just the past.”
“There is no reason for us to cause trouble with the Mervinger family, who are like the rising sun again.”
“What about you?”
“… .”
When I mentioned myself, Repent’s expression suddenly twitched.
But then he forced himself to raise the corners of his mouth and spoke.
“Well, I didn’t mean to do that either. “I apologize.”
Even Lepent bowed his head.
Only then did Guy nod and look back at Elric.
“Wouldn’t you, too, look at my face and let go of your past anger?”
“Well, what can we do when Guy says that? “I, who have a big heart, will have to endure it.”
“Thank you.”
“… .”
“… .”
“… .”
All of the six stars had a devastated expression on their faces.
Rather, he was dumbfounded by his attitude as if he was being patronizing.
The problem is Guy’s attitude of slightly lowering his head and saying thank you.
They had to feel awkward at seeing such a big difference between how they treated themselves and how they treated Elric.
And I was able to realize it.
Where does Guy place his weight more: them or Mervinger?
Considering Neresta’s family tradition of being strictly practical, it was definitely not an issue that could be easily overlooked.
“What are you going to do now? “So far, everything has been as you said.”
Guy seemed to want to change the mood and immediately changed the topic.
“There will be trouble from now on.”
“Because of the disturbance… . “I’m sure so.”
It was clear from the appearance of Chrome Hell.
The Inspection Bureau was abandoned by the imperial family.
It was clear that from now on, the imperial family would somehow try to rob the Inspection Bureau in order to prove that it had nothing to do with demons.
“Even the Lion Gong family won’t sit still.”
Even because of the honor of the Golden Lion, the Lion House will not follow the same path as the Inspection Bureau.
He would also have to save the face of the imperial family by making his daughter his princess.
“But this is an issue where one of the four pillars that support the empire could be missing. “I will never allow the Magic Tower to take its place.”
Guy nodded in agreement.
Magic Tower.
Lion Gongga.
Inspector General.
Protestant alliance.
So far, these four major powers have maintained an exquisite balance. The Magic Tower and the Sajagongga were in conflict in the sunny area, the Inspectorate was active in the shadows, and the Protestant alliance comforted the people’s faith.
However, the power that occupied the double shade disappears.
Naturally, numerous conflicts will occur behind the scenes to fill that void.
Looking at the current situation, it would be easy for the Magic Tower to take the lead, but the problem was that the Lion House would not just sit by and watch.
More than anything.
Recently, there has been a growing rumor among magistrates that the four major powers should be called the five major powers.
Mervinger.
They are one of the few operatives who received absolute support from the people as a master of magic.
That alone was a great feat, and now they had entangled themselves in a large area in the east with two lions and a huge army of barbarians.
Moreover, if we consider the young talents heading east to pursue the fame of Elric, who is causing a sensation in the empire.
If we only look at the power we have, we’re still a little behind, but we’re good enough to be on par with each other.
In this situation where Mervinger was with the Magic Tower, the balance of power had no choice but to tilt in this direction.
Moreover, if you try to monopolize the territory of the inspection bureau with justification… The situation grows out of control.
A place for Sajagongga to stand. The existence of the imperial family could be jeopardized.
For the imperial family, who had tried to establish absolute imperial power by bringing in the Sajagong family and putting the inspection bureau at the forefront, it was like hitting a rock in the foot.
“So, it is clear that the imperial family will try to put pressure on the Magic Tower in various ways, even if it means sacrificing the Inspection Bureau. They will also try to create other loyal dogs to replace the Inspection Bureau. So you have to keep your head straight. especially.”
Elric continued speaking while glaring at the Six Stars, especially Repent.
“They may try to create divisions within themselves.”
“… Hmm!”
Repent cleared his throat at the mention of internal division.
“In times like these, we must stick together and not be swayed no matter what carrots and sticks are offered from the other side.”
and… .
“If we even eradicate the demon power within the imperial family, it will be our victory.”
“… !”
“… !”
“… !”
Because wizards were often confined to their rooms to study, they were often illiterate in politics and society.
If it weren’t for Guy, the Magic Tower would have been swayed by the imperial whip by now.
So, for Maw Top, ‘political victory’ was like a very distant star.
But hearing that things could change now couldn’t help but cheer me up.
“under! Do you really think that will work out well? Just by looking at that guy’s eyes, it seemed like he was going to do something at any moment. And humans are creatures that have been equipped with intelligence since ancient times.』
Elric also smiled slightly at Mephisto’s sneer.
[Well, I also said this, but I don’t believe it will work out well.]
『… Eh? what?”
[Do you think I will see people turning their backs in front of Lee Kwon once or twice? My guess is that there are at least two people who are wondering how to do well in this situation.]
It seemed like the images of their vassals who had quietly abandoned themselves were still lingering.
Leaving behind all the time we spent together. Those who left only to take care of their own interests.
[So, I believe in the faith of only one person rather than human selfishness.]
『I’m sure that person would be able to do it.』
Mephisto read Elric’s thoughts and nodded.
The eyes of the two people turned to one place.
Guy Neresta.
Not only did he raise the Neresta family, which was not a particularly prominent family, to the top, but he also became the head of the Magic Tower.
If he is, he will be able to unite all the wizards of the Magic Tower, including Yukmangseong.
And it will all be of great help to you.
If only that would happen.
‘It wouldn’t be a big problem to drive out Lilith.’
Elric firmly believed that.
Wizard who swallowed talent
