Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 239

Chapter 239 The scheme to steal the elites of the Magic Tower is an act of violence that destroys the balance of wizard society. I will formally complain to the royal family.

– The four magic tower runners including the fire magic tower framer.

“They all ran away because they kept them in check and pressured them, so they’re going to come out like this?”

Clayton burst into laughter as he looked at the official document in his hand.

If you think about the reaction of the Redios Mage Tower when he announced that he was becoming independent, this official letter was just an excuse.

“You’re going to use this as an excuse, right?”

It was clear that the magic tower owners, who were temporarily overwhelmed by force, wanted to use this opportunity as an excuse to shake off the royal family’s interference.

Of course, that can’t be what they want.

It was when Clayton smiled, recalling the greedy monarch of this country.

smart.

“Master. As you said, the wizards who applied have gathered.”

Greek’s voice through the door woke him from his thoughts.

“Okay. I’ll be out soon.”

Now it was time to start anew.

And….

‘The people gathered here will also have to make a new start.’

A slightly mischievous smile crossed his lips.

– A single magic tower is good, but I prefer a magic tower… I

was looking forward to seeing how the wizards would accept the idea that the monarch of this country came up with.

* * *

“Have all the wizards gathered?”

“Yes. We are in the banquet hall. Master is entertaining us right now.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Logan entered the mansion while listening to Greek.

The entrance to the mansion, which had once been the Duke of Douglas’ residence and was now the temporary home of wizards, was tightly guarded.

“insect!”

“Your Majesty…”

“That’s it. Rest.”

After breaking through the numerous articles, Logan headed straight to the banquet hall without delay.

– Come, His Majesty!

Wizards wearing various robes split to the left and right and bowed.

“Meet Your Majesty the King.”

“Meet Your Majesty the King.”

Logan slowly walked between them with a soft smile on his face.

It bothered me that people wearing the same robes were grouped together, but that could be resolved gradually.

Now all you have to do is create awareness that you really care about this issue.

These are valuable resources that will become the mainstay of the ‘magic corps’ in the future.

“Your Majesty, how did you come in person? You said you were going to see me tomorrow…” “

No, no, it’s better to meet the talented people who will become the future of the kingdom, so it’s better to see them as soon as possible.”

After patting Clayton on the shoulder as he ran down to greet him, Logan climbed to the head of the table and looked around the quiet hall.

Before he knew it, the wizards gathered around the head table were looking up to him with strong curiosity and slight anxiety in their eyes.

Among them, Logan pointed to an older wizard with bright eyes.

“With the intense fire mana that can be felt up to here, are you sure you are Elder Max from the Magic Tower of Fire?”

“Hmph! Please speak lower, Your Majesty. It is difficult to accept.”

Max kneels down immediately at his call.

However, contrary to his words, there was a faint smile on his lips.

The fact that the king knew his name made him feel like a bright future was unfolding before his eyes.

“I heard that you are a candidate for the head of the Magic Tower of Fire. However, you are being treated unfairly. As the king of a country, I cannot stand to see such unfortunate events, so I called you.”

“Seo Seong-eun is devastated.”

“Isn’t the person there Elder Gerald of the Royal Magic Tower?”

“Your Majesty!”

Logan comforted the 5th Circle wizards by calling their names one by one.

Gerald and Lorwin from the royal magic tower, Justin from the water magic tower, Ephes from the wind magic tower, and Ragon and Eamon from the earth magic tower.

The elders of the Magic Tower, who had been rejected despite their talents, all knelt down with expressions of emotion.

“I plan to unite talented people like you and create a new nation’s power. Will you comply with my wishes?”

“Of course I will comply! Your Majesty!”

“Of course! Your Majesty!”

“Thank you for your trust!”

The banquet hall was filled with excitement from everyone’s confident answers.

“Now, now. Eat and enjoy as much as you want today. And starting tomorrow, let’s start a new beginning together for the future of the kingdom!”

“I will be loyal!”

The wizards’ eyes lit up as they waited for the launch of the new magic tower they would lead, and the meeting that day ended with everyone dreaming of a bright future in a friendly atmosphere.

* * *

“The wizards’ eyes were bright.”

After the banquet was over, Clayton spoke carefully when he was alone with Logan.

“That’s right. I will continue to treat you as you deserve.”

“But, Your Majesty, I don’t think you said the most important thing. It’s not a magic tower, but a magic corps.”

“Is there any difference?”

Unlike Logan, who smiled brightly, Clayton had a slight headache.

“…Then that’s what I have to say.”

“I guess so, right?”

The smooth smiling face was extremely obnoxious. Clayton unconsciously groaned and touched his forehead.

‘There’s no way he wouldn’t know….’

– We are researchers, not combat weapons!

It was nice to see the high-ranking wizards going crazy.

From the beginning, he probably intended to leave all responsibility for handling the backlash to himself.

Clayton smiled bitterly and with a bit of vengeance brought up a topic that would make Logan uncomfortable.

“Your Majesty, the budget is under severe pressure these days, right?”

“…Well, as you know, why is that…?”

“In fact, in addition to the wizards we invited, many wizards have inquired about the ‘MacLine Magic Tower’. Just looking at the numbers alone, it looks like there are more than twice the number of invited guests… but the allocated budget is probably not enough. It’s like that.”

Looking at Logan’s eyes shaking at those words, Clayton felt a small but strong sense of pleasure.

“…twice as much?”

“Yes. If you accept it, I think the number will be even higher. It seems that the corruption of the Magic Tower that has accumulated over a long period of time is worse than I thought.”

If that happens, they will be able to see the magic corps they envisioned come to fruition in an instant.

However, will the royal family, which is already overstretched, be able to receive twice as many magicians as money-grubbing hippopotamuses?

‘It must be difficult.’

Even for Clayton himself, this is a daunting task.

But that doesn’t mean…

“What do you think will happen if you don’t accept it?”

“The magic corps your Majesty envisions will be delayed many times over. Perhaps forever…”

Clayton trailed off, but Logan immediately understood what he meant.

“…Do you think the royal family discriminates against people?”

“Yes. Wizards are a race with more pride than you might think.”

“Haa…”

Logan sighed and held his head.

Majeongsu Farming Dam Construction Army.

Just by doing what you have done, you already have a lot of money to spend.

– Even the residents of McLane territory, their hometown, may turn their backs on His Majesty.

At Dwayne’s heavy warning that suddenly came to mind, Logan looked up at the sky with a long sigh and was lost in thought.

But…

“Please bring everyone in.”

“yes?!”

“The sooner we acquire powerful power, the less damage we will face in the future. From now on, we must run through what we have done as quickly as possible.”

Clayton had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and nod to the words, which left no room for refutation.

* * *

And within a few days, about 200 wizards from all five magic towers came to McLane Mansion, offering to entrust themselves to him.

Most of them were middle-aged or young wizards of the 3rd or 4th circle.

Clayton greeted them with mixed feelings.

Of course, the wizards who applied did not have only flowery paths left as they had imagined.

A week later, the wizards gathered at the palace fell into a panic when they realized that the place they would be joining was not the Macline Magic Tower but the Macline Magic Corps.

“Brigade?”

“You mean a battle group?”

“we?”

Their employer and king dealt the final blow to the anxiously whispering wizards.

– You will be a wizard belonging to the Macline Magic Corps, not the Macline Magic Tower.

– Of course, you must complete basic military training.

The wizards were mesmerized by the shocking story.

Among the wizards present, not a single one came out of the magic tower without swearing at least once.

Would you leave this place in such a situation?

Then, the status of the wandering mercenary wizard will be confirmed.

In the end, the wizards had no choice but to participate in the training of the magic corps by crying and eating mustard.

Old wizards close to sixty were no exception.

The sight of them walking around the parade ground with their white beards flying became a hot topic in itself and a subject of ridicule from magicians who did not join.

However, as time passed by the despair, smiles began to appear on the faces of the wizards belonging to the magic corps.

Through combat training, the wizards who had stayed in Zeracle for a long time began to overcome their limitations one by one.

Physical training that was thought to be unsuitable for mana users.

And use magic for that.

The pioneering of fields that the wizards of this era had never thought of in their entire lives began to gradually open up the minds of the wizards who had been blocked, and this enabled them to grow.

“Did you know this was going to happen?”

“Didn’t you say it yourself, Clayton? As you focused on the construction and put all your effort into it, both you and your students grew.”

“That’s true, but…”

Logan gave credit to Clayton, but to some extent, he guessed the effect.

‘Magic Legion. Because the empire has already proven its effectiveness.’

An imperial combat organization created simply to utilize magicians with special abilities in combat.

However, strangely enough, as combat training continued and wars continued, the wizards in the magic corps rapidly increased their level, and about 10 years after the Imperial War, it reached a point where each wizard wanted to belong to a magic corps.

Of course, Logan did not know the exact reason or principle.

It was simply an attempt to make up for some of the lack of power by creating a class like the Empire.

I was even happier that it worked better than I expected.

However, there were also side effects.

“Your Majesty. Do you finally understand how scary the budget is?”

Dwayne smiled darkly with sunken eyes.

And looking at the hideous figure, Logan couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Because before his eyes, there was only soup and bread that were too shabby to be considered a meal served to the king of a country.

“There will be no fish from now on until the farming method and dam construction are completed.”

“…Do we have to do this, Dwayne?”

“I’ll give it back exactly as you said! Did you really have to do that?!”

Eyes that are half-turned and sparkling.

If he said one more word, he was ready to bite Logan.

“Hmm.”

All of this was brought about by oneself.

Logan sighed and swallowed his mulgan soup.
