EPISODE.60

Circle Projection.

As the meaning suggests, it was magic that could show off one’s own magical achievement – the Circle.

Fire-.

The moment six rings of fire appeared and rotated like gears.

‘Wet.’

‘Hup-!’

A roar of gasps could be heard from all over the place.

Although the sound was blocked by Daria’s magic, the surprise was evident.

‘I can’t believe he was hiding that much magical power so completely.’

‘Huh, what nonsense-!’

Russell smiled condescendingly as he confirmed that the gaze around him and the atmosphere around him had changed.

The atmosphere is exactly as intended.

However, I had no intention of ending it here.

Because today was a day of celebration.

‘The more splendid the festival, the better.’

Thinking so, Russell moved his hand. He lightly waved his fingertips to cast magic.

chuck.

He placed his right fist on top of his left palm.

Beep-!

Firecrackers rang out.

From the center of the six pyrotechnic gears Russell created, flames soared toward the sky.

Loud boom!

Six flames soared up and gathered in the middle of the sky, forming a gigantic shape.

‘Flare Rose!’

‘The symbol of the flame tower-!’

Recognizing the shape, the envoys from other countries and some wizards mixed in between them trembled.

Salt Tower.

Among the magic towers that inherited the red genealogy, it is evaluated as the best on the continent, so it is bestowed with the word flame.

That was the salt tower.

Of course, some of the Imperial Mage Towers would disagree with that.

What can I do that it is the evaluation of the public.

Hwaaak!

Flare Rose filled the sky and scattered red fire.

Russell fired a second spell at the glowing red light.

Food Deuk-.

I heard the sound of flapping wings, and then a wild goose shaped with flames rose toward the Flare Rose.

The wild goose is a symbol of love and trust in the relationship between husband and wife.

The bird of flame, which flew up with powerful flapping of wings, attacked Flare Rose.

Beep-!

Firecrackers exploded once again with the crash.

Colorful and beautiful sparks spread out in all directions, like fireworks.

to appear in it.

It was the coat of arms of the royal family of Endymion.

Roaring!

The crest of the royal family burned with a more intense light than ever before.

Soon, Russell took back his mana.

It was the moment when all the shows prepared were over.

* * *

While Russell, who had withdrawn his magic, walked toward the princess and the king at the other end, no one in the seat could easily take their eyes off him.

The same goes for envoys from other countries.

Staring at Russell with deeply sunken eyes, they soon hardened their expressions.

He talked with the wizards who came with him with a serious face.

Noise Canceling.

Most of the sounds resounded by Daria were blocked, but that was only limited to noise.

It was enough to hear whispers close by.

“What do you think?”

In response to an envoy’s question, the wizard accompanying him opened his mouth.

He still had a puzzled look on his face.

“It is an amazing day. As rumor has it, just being able to reach the level of the 6th circle at that age is amazing, but being able to hide that enormous magical power without revealing it…” The

method for a person who has reached that level to judge the skills of others was simpler than expected.

By detecting the insignificant amount of mana flowing from his body or signs of aura, he was able to grasp the opponent’s ability, albeit piecemeal.

Even if the opponent’s skills were higher than my own, I could feel some degree of distance or traces.

In order to block that presence, there was no choice but to enter a profound state among masters or to widen the gap by at least two steps.

Comparatively, the magician’s ability to answer now was only one level different from Russell, who was in the 5th and 6th circles.

Even so, he couldn’t detect any signs of magical power.

‘It’s amazing.’

As a mage who did not know the characteristics of Russell’s magical powers, he had no choice but to think so.

Besides, the wizard’s words weren’t over yet.

“More shocking is the ability to control mana.”

“The ability to control mana?”

“Yes.”

It was a very short time to consider that the newly created circle had stabilized for only a few months since he joined the 6th circle.

Then, it was only natural that there would be shaking or leakage of magic power in some way when radiating magic.

But to create a perfect magic molding without any sign of it.

‘Unless the circle is in the same mana arrangement as the dragon heart…’

Then the nobleman who had asked the question for the first time muttered while touching his chin.

“If the rumors in the world are true -”

If a Master-level Aura user is a powerful spear capable of penetrating the entire battle line alone, a wizard with a 7th circle or higher is a weapon of war that can turn the tide of battle and erase the battlefield.

The size of the territory and the number of troops.

That was also the reason why the Empire, which could be said to be the best on the continent on both sides, couldn’t do anything about Endymion.

Although they were ahead of the number of sword masters, the number of superhuman level wizards was insufficient.

In addition, there were only two 8th Circle Archmages in Endymion, the only one in the Empire.

In the midst of that, a supernova was born, entering the 6th circle at the age of early 20’s.

A talent like that will soon be able to open even the gates of superhumans.

“-The landscape of the continent might change drastically within ten years at the most.”

The nobleman who brought up the story ended his thoughts like that.

Looking around, the aristocrats of other countries also seem to have organized their thoughts.

Of course, we’ll have to wait and see what effect Russell’s directing will have on international relations.

.

.

“Infinite light shines on the road ahead of the two of them, who will walk hand in hand…” He

glanced at his father, King Alfonso Latmos, while listening to the opening speech.

Hecate moved her gaze.

Looking sideways, she caught a glimpse of Russell Raymond, the man standing to her right.

‘I never thought he’d do something like that.’

She, too, knew that her father, King Alfonso, would use this position for some political purpose.

In the first place, she also agreed to it. But Russell came first.

‘There’s no way this honest man would have thought that way himself, and maybe someone told him about it.’

Despite knowing such a fact, Hecate’s gaze showed gratitude that could not be hidden.

It has to be.

‘I knew you weren’t the type to like painting your own face that much.’

Nonetheless, he did the same thing himself.

This has no choice but to believe that Russell understood and cared for himself and the Ratmos family.

It was because.

The moment they faced each other to exchange rings, their lips moved slightly.

‘You did a very interesting job. dear.’

Perhaps reading the movement of his lips, Russell gave a shy smile, and Hecate gave a small chuckle inwardly.

Then, the moment Russell’s ring was put on Hecate’s hand, the king.

The last words of Alfonso Ratmos echoed through the park.

“With this, the betrothal of Princess Hecate Latmos and Earl Russell Raymond is widely proclaimed in the name of the Latmos royal family-!”

As if they had waited, the court wizards fired their cannons into the air.

Beep-!

Sparks, ice lightning, and wind mixed in the air and created a splendor like aurora borealis covering the surrounding area.

“I wish you well in the future. Count Russell Raymond.”

It was the moment when the engagement ceremony between Russell and Hecate ended safely.

.

.

Unfortunately, even though the engagement ceremony ended, Russell didn’t get the moment of relaxation he was hoping for.

Even though the ceremony was over, it was because there was a banquet left after that.

The banquet that lasted for as long as three days, of course, the main characters were Russell and Hecate, who had an engagement ceremony today.

There was no way I could fall out.

The problem was after attending the banquet.

“Congratulations. Count Raymond. I’m from the Southern Territory…”

“Heh heh. congratulations very much Count Raymond. By the way, I heard that Count Raymond graduated from the academy in Walkerhill City within our manor…”

From small local nobles to lords including Walkerhill City as their manor.

Countless nobles had flocked to talk with Russell.

It has to be.

Local nobles did not have many opportunities to attend the royal banquet like today.

Moreover, the other person, Poongwoon, who rose to the center of the political world at once, did not know that a second chance would not come if he did not use today’s opportunity to somehow establish a connection.

Besides, it wasn’t just nobles from homeland who flocked.

“Nice to meet you. Count Raymond. I am of the Naze Federation…”

“First of all, I should say congratulations. This is a gift of fellowship that I personally congratulate the earl on his engagement…”

Starting with nobles from other countries who flocked to find out what Russell is like as a person-

“Look. Count Russell. The shape-changing magic used at the beginning of the ceremony…” “

…The correlation between the flow of magical energy and stability is-.”

-The wizards who came with them were no exception.

It’s really phosphoric acid.

Suddenly surrounded by a sea of people, Russell secretly sighed.

As she calmed down and looked away, she saw her teacher, Daria, surrounded by wizards from other countries like herself.

‘Master.’

If there was a difference, would it be that, unlike himself, who was clearly tired, Daria’s mood was exhilarating?

“Since our youngest was very young…”

It was obvious what he was talking about. From Daria’s point of view, she must have felt like a fish in water.

For a while, Russell focused on the crowd surrounding him.

Even if he was not skilled, he responded at a level that would not remain rude.

‘It’s fortunate that I got tutoring from Sir Alan on the fly.’

If I hadn’t, I would have made a few small mistakes.

‘Oh, I hope it ends soon.’

I already wanted to leave for the Kuril Islands, which were scheduled in three months.

* * *

In fact, it didn’t matter when they left the Kuril Islands after the engagement ceremony.

The six-month period was self-determined, but there was no reason to keep it.

Nevertheless, the reason Russell stayed in the capital for about three more months was simple.

There was also a reason to improve the skills of the 6th circle itself, but-.

‘It’s kind of funny to leave right after the engagement ceremony.’

Time went on and on, and finally.

Three more months pass. Around half a year had passed since I had visited the Red Gorge last time.

Russell submitted the application for foreign travel research he had filled out in advance to Daria.

Naturally, the destination was the Kuril Islands.
