Part 2 Episode 131
blonde and green eyes
The appearance of Mervinger, a famous magician who had been quiet for the past few years.
Naturally, the media was excited.
<The appearance of an airship that cannot be expressed in words! Is this a prelude to the rise of the Mervinger family?>
Airships with Mervinger’s symbol are appearing all over the empire. This is a crystal that far surpasses modern magic engineering technology, and the answer is that even magic towers are currently difficult to manufacture… (syncopation)… .
… On the other hand, people continue to wonder about the extent of Mervinger’s technological prowess in producing these airships.
Indeed, attention is focused on whether the current Mervinger can go beyond regaining his past glory and become something more.
These results have become even more severe due to the current conflict with Sajagongga… .
“He’s such a fun friend every time I see him.”
Every time he showed up, he was always ahead of others.
Cromhel smiled bitterly and folded the newspaper he was holding.
‘I’m tied up here and can’t even run properly.’
He muttered that and flipped the newspaper to the side.
Tangut, the deacon next to him, quietly put the newspaper aside.
It was because I felt that I should not continue to be trampled on by Cromhel.
“Your Highness, I don’t think you should take this lightly.”
“The reason is?”
“This is an insult to the imperial family and is nothing short of a clear show of force.”
“It’s a demonstration of force… .”
“You know very well that the current imperial family has a bad impression of Mervinger, but you are leading such an ugly thing across the empire.”
Before I knew it, Tangut’s eyes showed a subtle anger.
“No matter how much you are a magic master, the fact that you are a subject of the empire does not change. however… .”
“stop.”
Cromhel raised his hand to interrupt him.
He looked up at Tangut while laughing.
“Even so, what can I do?”
“… .”
“Tell me, Tangut. “What can I do, a mere prince who isn’t even a prince?”
Although his mouth was smiling, a variety of emotions were visible in his eyes.
Pessimism, frustration, anger, depression, etc.
All negative things.
“… sorry.”
Tangut read those emotions and lowered his head.
At the same time, Cromhell lightly chewed the inside of his mouth without realizing it.
“done. “I’m sure the Inspection Bureau, which has been hiding in the shadows, will feel a lot more bitter than me.”
If things had gone according to plan, the airship Elric was riding could have been theirs.
Phew-
In an attempt to clear away his dull emotions, Cromhel sighed and asked.
“So what on earth has our great emperor been doing lately?”
The tone of his speech was very twisted.
Tangut shook his head, pretending not to notice.
Cromhel immediately recognized the meaning and frowned.
‘What on earth are you doing, locked in a closet, Abama?’
In recent years, the emperor has not engaged in any external activities.
The conditions around the imperial family were becoming more and more a mess, and since the emperor did nothing, the situation could only get worse.
As the prince, Cromhel tried to do something, but as he was not the crown prince, what he could do was limited.
The other princes and princesses were always busy biting themselves.
‘I can’t do anything like this. The empire will be torn apart.’
After Shiro’s death, he came to his senses thanks to Tangut.
Still, he had achieved nothing with his own hands.
but.
But it can’t continue like this.
‘It is highly likely that the politics of the empire will change in line with Mervinger’s movements in the future. then… .’
Cromhel’s eyes sank deeply.
‘Of course, it’s best to be right next to see what Mervinger is thinking.’
Cromhel’s gaze turned to the newspaper that Tangut had put away.
A title like Mervinger’s Flight caught my eye.
“My friend… “You can’t stay still when you’re traveling such a long way.”
If there’s something you can do, shouldn’t you try it?
“Tangut.”
“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”
“Get ready to greet Elric.”
As soon as the order was given, Tangut bowed and left the room.
There was a lot to prepare.

The front yard of the Neresta family.
There, including Gai, the owner of the magic tower, many of the leading figures of the magic tower, such as Yukmangseong and Warmage, were gathered there.

The reason they had this meeting was simple.
That’s because I received notification that Elric would arrive soon.
“no way… I can’t believe I succeeded in making the airship I saw back then. indeed! haha!”
“That’s right. “There was almost no progress on our part.”
Among them, the conversation about Elric’s airship was in full swing.
After the battle at the Ghost Castle.
The magic tower collected the remains of the airship left there.
Since the power of the airship owned by the Inspection Bureau was beyond imagination, the idea was to create something similar to counter it.
However, until now, a long time has passed, and they have not been able to build anything similar, let alone an airship.
This was because, no matter how much of the magic tower’s knowledge was used, most of them failed to uncover the concepts and principles needed to build an airship.
Distant past and present.
The way magic was constructed, the theories, and concepts were also different in many ways.
As a result, I only felt like I was heading towards the ground.
However, when I heard that Elric had built not one but ten such airships, I couldn’t help but feel excited.
It is said that Mervinger operates as a separate organization from the Magic Tower.
Since the current relationship is not that bad, there was an expectation that there would be some sharing of technology and knowledge.
Perhaps there would be a big change in the history of magicians of the time.
That’s when they talked like that.
“Here he comes.”
Guy looked into the distance into space with an emotionless face.
People’s eyes were equally focused on that place.
“Where are you… ?”
Someone tilted their head and then opened their eyes.
It felt like ripples were spreading in the middle of the sky, and soon one or two airships began to appear.
“her… ? Even stealth mode?”
“How did they attach invisibility magic to that giant?”
“Normally, transparency feels foreign… I don’t think it’s because it’s so far away. “I think it would be very useful for sneak attacks.”
“If they showed up secretly in the middle of the night and poured out their firepower… her! “There will be nothing left.”
But their surprise did not stop there.
When the airship got close to a certain point, everyone noticed abnormal changes occurring inside the body.
Startle!
“… All-round dispel?”
Although it was not deployed properly, the dispel barrier device was also detected.
This makes it clear.
Mervinger’s airship was far more technologically superior than the Inspector General’s airship!
That means one thing.
-Mervinger has already surpassed the power of the Magic Tower.
For Yuk Mang-seong, it was a story that made him shiver.
They, who had been in the ‘A’ position for so long, have fallen to ‘B’.
On the other hand, I sighed because the status of Magic Tower, which was on par with Mervinger in academia, seemed to have fallen.
The problem was that the gap would only widen further in the future, and would never seem to shrink.
‘I need to work harder.’
While everyone is thinking that way.
Guy was smiling strangely.
Not only was it a wake-up call to the Mage Tower, which had been stagnant due to a long period of peace, but it was also because I knew very well that their anxiety would eventually become their will for Neresta.
Neresta’s control of the Magic Tower would become more solid in the future, and it would not weaken.
‘At first, I thought he was just my friend’s son. I don’t see it that way anymore.’
It was then.
“Everyone, it’s been a while!”
Elric was seen waving his hand in this direction from the airship.
Her hair was blowing in the harsh wind.
Then, the plane he was riding in slowly landed on the ground.
Guy and other members of the Magic Tower could not help but express their admiration as they boarded the airship.
The inside had a different appearance from the outside.
“How is it?”
Elric asked proudly, looking at the surprised Guy.
“It’s amazing, really. “That’s all I can say.”
At the same time, one corner of his mouth curled up.
“The idiots in the imperial capital must feel like they’ve been hit with cold water.”
“Actually, that’s what I said.”
“Hehe. “As expected, I really like your personality.”
“I am always grateful to Guy for understanding me so well.”
Elric also smiled a similar smile.
Ugh!
From afar, it looks like a bunch of villains plotting a flawless imitation.
Sean’s eyes became cold as he watched this.
“Why do you have that face?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? Anyway, you… !”
Sean was about to say something, but then he sighed.
“done. “I’m not the type of person you should listen to just because I’m nagging.”
Sean could see before his eyes how many more victims(?) Elric would create in the future by wielding this ridiculous weapon.
Meanwhile, in one corner, Tasha was happily hanging out with baby dragons she hadn’t seen in a long time.

“I heard about it. “I heard you gave Lion Gongga a big blow in Hukran, right?”
Elric and Guy walked around inside the airship and talked about what had happened.
The airship rose again and was heading northwest of the ecliptic.
“yes. “It just so happened that it happened that way.”
“You must have had a hard time.”
Guy laughed lightly, as if he understood.
After the Battle of Ghost Castle, there were too many conflicts between the Magic Tower and the Lion House and the Inspection Bureau.
A wry smile filled his mouth, as if he didn’t even want to think about it.
Elric also received the call and knew the truth to some extent, so he spoke as if comforting him.
“The magic tower suffered more than me. “But I’m glad things have calmed down recently.”
“So, that’s right. Thanks to this, we are able to take a breather for a while.”
At some point, the Inspection Bureau and the Lion House avoided conflict with the Magic Tower.
I don’t know what wind blew.
Perhaps they decided that further fighting was not necessary.
Of course, I couldn’t just rely on that, so I kept watching closely.
“By the way, Guy, how did you get invited?”
The reason why Elric stopped by the Neresta family instead of going directly to the Grand Duke was simple.
Because I heard from Guy that he had received an invitation to the Lion House.
So I came to accompany them on the way.
“Well, first of all, the invitation said to discuss peace… “For now, we’ll just have to watch.”
Elric nodded heavily.
We don’t know what the golden lion thinks yet.
I felt like I would have to meet him in person to find out the details.
“Besides, I had something else to say to you.”
“What do you want to say?”
Was there anything else to share other than the Golden Lion?
Elric tilted his head in curiosity, but his frown soon hardened.
“I lost contact with my little grandfather recently.
“… !”
