The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 153
Continental Congress (1)
Northern Continent.
There was a space where dawn repeated itself infinitely.
The mana that was once held to the ground repeated the same section as if reversing time, and the amber-colored dawn that bloomed endlessly was already no different from the identity of that place.
This place is called the Land of Wonders, or the City of Knowledge. It was the capital of Magia, the kingdom of wizards.
And the innermost part of such a capital.
Support-
A man’s ‘shape’ appeared vaguely in the space that stretched out like the universe.
The figure walked around there with a natural gait, then found someone and smiled.
-Have you heard? I hear the Continental Congress is meeting soon.
“… … .”
The old man, who had been reading a book without moving an inch, looked up and looked at the figure.
Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t notice it. This entire space was a world that embodied the old man’s spirit.
“Is it related to the ‘great magic’ that was manifested in Esteban?”
-Yes, that’s exactly as you guessed.
“Then it is highly likely that the Archmage who was born in Esteban will appear in person.”
– Since it has been referred to the Continental Congress, it will probably happen.
widely-
Only then did the old man close the book with a loud noise and push it into the air as if he were throwing it away.
Then it soon turned into light and became a star decorating the space.
The stars that shine infinitely in this space were nothing less than proof of the breadth of the old man’s knowledge.
‘Shadow’, who confirmed the appearance, asked in a mischievous tone.
-What do you think about this situation?
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
-About the movement to sanction the magic that was manifested in Esteban.
Every country has had hidden powers, and of course, they have never been officially banned.
That literally meant suppressing the power of any one country on a continental level.
So this situation is very unusual.
But clearly the intention of that ‘figure’ was not to ask about such trivial things.
“… … Does Your Majesty wish for me to attend that event?”
-I’m glad that’s what the story sounded like.
The figure… … called the Lord laughed.
-The discussions at this Continental Congress will likely go beyond politics. They will probably try to uncover information about the magic in question by any means necessary.
“So you came to me so I could help you figure out the magic formula.”
-Aren’t you already very interested in that area anyway?
“… … .”
Woohoo-
The ‘book’ that the old man had been reading until just now responded to the figure’s gestures.
Then it took on a physical form as before and was held in the hand of the figure.
When I checked the cover myself, the identity of what I was reading was finally revealed.
… … The relationship between celestial attraction and magic.
The figure’s shoulders shrugged.
-The Continental Congress will begin in ten days. Since His Majesty is also very interested in this matter, I would like you to attend.
“……okay.”
-I hope that position helps, it won’t be boring.
Ssuk-
A letter was handed over from the figure’s grasp.
It was an invitation granting him the right to attend the Continental Congress.
-Then, let’s meet in ten days.
“… … Yes, I will do that.”
-With your ability, it should be possible to figure out the formula.
Support-
As it had come, the figure disappeared, leaving behind only a small noise.
And the last words he left behind just linger in the air like an echo.
-Lord Heimdall.

“Kiya, this is amazing.”
George exclaimed in admiration as he looked at the vast conference room spread out before his eyes.
A height that appears to be at least several dozen meters. And marble and jewels decorate it all magnificently.
All I could say was that it was truly fitting for a place to discuss major events on the continent.
Of course, it was not an exclamation of appreciation for the wonderful view.
“Eight thousand… … No, about eight thousand two hundred… … .”
“Huh? Hey, what does that mean?”
“What is it? It’s a price that takes geographical factors and appearance into account.”
“Haha, I see.”
Matapju smiled heartily and stroked his chin.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was not normal to admire someone who had an eye for things.

No matter how much Cromwell’s work has put a firm hold on him… … I don’t know where this endless positivity towards George comes from.
“Stop talking nonsense and follow me.”
“Haha, I understand, Your Majesty.”
As I said that, I took the lead and went inside the building.
The interior was even more splendid than it appeared from the outside, and it was so vast that the streets almost resembled a maze.
But since this wasn’t my first time here, I walked towards the conference room with a skilled gait.
Then George’s eyes became filled with suspicion.
“… … But is this going the right way?”
There was no proper guide, and the two people who followed had no experience attending a meeting.
In that situation, if you were moving around without any hesitation, you might have thought that you were lost.
“It’s noisy.”
“… … .”
But I wasn’t the type of person to respond kindly to such nonsense.
So I ignored the guy’s question and continued walking, and before I knew it, the conference room located at the innermost part of the building was getting closer.
That was when.
“Your Highness the Prince.”
Someone approached me from behind and called me, and I turned my head at the familiar sound.
“As expected, even the Archmage came with us. It’s been a long time.”
“yes.”
Someone who approaches me in a friendly and amicable manner.
… … It was the crown prince of Arendelle who was able to avoid destruction thanks to my instructions.
I raised my eyebrows slightly and opened my mouth.
“But the Crown Prince attended the meeting in person.”
“Considering the gravity of this situation, I couldn’t just sit still.”
The crown prince said so and looked next to him.
There was a caravanserai that looked so clean that it was impossible to find any trace of its former appearance.
The crown prince’s expression hardened slightly.
“As you may already know, this meeting was held as a trick by the Federal Empire.”
“Yes, I know.”
“They must be thinking of using this opportunity to change public opinion in order to gain some advantage. They actually approached the countries in the East and showed signs of moving to ban the use of magic.”
“Is that so?”
I shrugged at the unexpected words.
What surprised me was not that they had approached the eastern nations, but that Arendelle knew about it.
“How did you know that information? They must be wary of Arendelle, which made contact with Esteban.”
“It should have been that way originally, but thanks to Your Majesty’s help, Duke Zait was able to resolve it.”
“solve?”
Does that mean something happened over there too?
He finished his speech and explained instead, looking at the Caravan Zite, which had a much more refined atmosphere than before.
“Before that, I would like to ask you first. Is it true that Your Majesty removed the disaster that blocked the eastern part of Arendelle?”
“If that’s the case.”
A word that is neither negative nor positive.
But surprise flashed in Caravan Zite’s eyes.
Now that I was certain of what had only remained as anecdotal evidence, the shock I felt at that time came back to me.
Of course, that was only for a moment.
“Thanks to this, Arendelle was able to obtain information about them while serving as a link between the Federation Empire and the East.”
“Hoo.”
“And the exchanges and internal affairs are completely under Arendelle’s control.”
“I see.”
This means that it was obtained from another country, not the Federal Empire itself.
And it also meant that in the process of proclaiming neutrality, they were reaping additional benefits.
‘It’s pretty good.’
I looked at the guy, thinking that way.
It is easy to imagine such a situation, but it is difficult to control it as desired because it is a matter between countries.
But Caravan Zite was doing it.
He was just sitting there, watching the situation inside the Federal Empire and keeping an eye on them.
After the explanation was over, the crown prince said.
“With the information I found out, I was able to figure out their purpose. That’s why I had no choice but to take action.”
“To take Esteban’s side?”
“Yes.”
The crown prince also said that he could be of great help in swaying public opinion in some eastern countries.
It literally means that if you emphasize the opposing public opinion, they won’t be able to exert any power.
however.
“There is no need for that.”
“……yes?”
I denied it, answering in a flat voice.
Then he continued speaking as he walked past the bewildered crown prince.
“I appreciate your help, but Arendelle must remain completely neutral this time as well.”
“yes?”
“No, rather.”
It was amazing that I had come running for this moment, but it wasn’t the time yet.
The absolute unity of the two countries should have been hidden a little longer and kept hidden until the very end.
furthermore…….
“I guess you can agree.”
“Th, what is that… … .”
I smiled, almost mockingly, as I thought about the meeting that was about to begin.
Caravan Zite.
Perhaps, that man would understand what this means.
This is the moment I too have been waiting for.

Finally, five minutes before the meeting was scheduled to start.
The huge conference room resembled a large auditorium.
But because it was a gathering of many high-ranking officials and their attendants from many countries, even that felt cramped.
Esteban’s group attracted attention for being unusually small in number.
“Wow, I feel like a lion in a cage.”
As George said that, he looked back and forth between the First Prince and the Tower Master.
It may be because there were few people, but the real reason was probably to see these two people.
The protagonist of this meeting, Lord Elreid, the fifth great wizard of the continent.
… … And, a royal who became a sword master at the unbelievable age of twenty-one.
Both of them showed amazing talent and achievements, so it was only natural that all eyes were on them.
Swish-
George quietly got up from his seat and walked around the conference room.
Then, the originally small presence became almost non-existent, and thanks to that, it became easier to eavesdrop on conversations in other countries.
“They are Esteban’s… … .”
“It’s unbelievable that two people who have reached this level were born in just one year.”
“Isn’t it too powerful for the power of a single kingdom?”
That time and that conversation full of caution.
George looked around the conference room and shrugged.
“… … I’m not a lion, but rather a monkey.”
In particular, the jealousy towards the First Prince was no small matter.
A prince of a country who has reached a higher level than anyone else.
Moreover, the Sword Master who stood out by changing the unit of the youngest record, which was rarely renewed even in the long history of the continent.
It was a record that would probably not be broken for a while… no, maybe never.
It was obvious how great his status was, as anyone would have been jealous at least once.
Chijik-
At that moment, the sound of magic being cast echoed throughout the conference room, and soon the voice of the conference host rang out.
-The Continental Congress will begin soon.
A meeting targeting only Esteban was about to begin.
