Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 122
Episode 122:
Flower spring cold
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
The place where General Dong disappeared.
Regardless of who it was, Herman and the Blue Hawk, who had captured the Blood King with Elric, the beasts of Fury, everyone looked surprised at the miracle Elric had caused.
The Camellia God and Mephisto also look at each other with shocked expressions. Are they any different?
The sight of General Dong disappearing was so shocking.
In particular, the shock to the prisoners was the greatest.
The disaster that had reigned fear in the Black Snowfield for hundreds of years has completely disappeared?
For them, something that was equivalent to ‘common sense’ had disappeared. Breaking the stereotypes that I had heard since my grandfather’s grandfather was the same as shaking my values.
Of course, I couldn’t say for sure that everything was over yet.
The cold and darkness caused by General Dong still remained and covered Fury.
No one knew how those out-of-control forces would act. On the contrary, because it was difficult to predict, it could have led to an even bigger disaster. The category cannot even be predicted.
But even so, it will only be a one-time thing.
Once that all disappears, wouldn’t warm sunlight be able to shine even on the black snowy fields? That thought permeated everyone’s minds.
You will no longer have to worry about when General Dong will show up like before.
and.
Elric had no intention of letting the uncontrolled power take over General Dong.
If these are all elements that made up Dongjanggun, isn’t there a need to throw them away?
“【Spread】.”
So, Elric developed a starting language that was completely opposite to the language he had been using to share the cold with General Dong.
Then, from the Temple of Flowers, the scent of winter flowers that had been absorbed into the ice crystals wafted out all at once.
As the seal of the cold wind was activated, a wind was created and the flower scent was spread in all directions.
Paaaa-
Whihwihwi!
The scent of the flowers spread not only to every corner of Fury, which the King of Blood and General Dong had randomly searched for, but also to the area beyond.
Then, as if it were a lie, the cold wind disintegrated and became a breeze, and the darkness that covered the world gradually became thinner, cracks appearing in various places.
Sunlight seeped through the cracks and hit the ground.
Then the snow covering the ground melted at a rapid rate. They all turned into water and moistened the hitherto dry land, and although it was very little, it flowed from various places, tangled like a spider’s web, and then gathered together to form a small river.
The air was still chilly, but with the scent of flowers mixed in, it no longer felt stinging and painful.
Rather, it contained a pleasant refreshing feeling.
A refreshing feeling that will completely relieve your stuffy stomach.
It was a cold spring.
This is to let you know that winter is over and spring will soon come.
Even the last remaining darkness shattered and disappeared, and for the first time in a long time, a clear sky appeared over the black snowy field.
[Ahh…!]
The camellia god looked at the blue sky as if fascinated for a long time.
Isn’t this the sky I haven’t seen since I left the Winter Palace? Moreover, the scent of flowers spreading everywhere made her heart flutter even more.
I didn’t even know that was why.
Dongbaek Shin’s eyes are moist and moist.
[Spring… has come.]
The voice of Udden Mervinger, who said that his grandson would take away winter and bring spring, seemed to ring in my ears.
At the time, even though it was unlikely, I thought I would try something.
I never thought it would be so successful.
Again,
a thin tear flowed down my cheek. It was flower dew.
Elric turned his head to the side and pretended not to see it.
* * *
“The old monarch, the heavens…!”
Neter sneaked out of Fury with only the subordinates who had personally sworn loyalty to him, including the spirit tribe, and suddenly raised his head reflexively at the sound of his subordinates shouting.
Ever since the Blood King he feared fell, he had guessed Fury’s defeat.
So, in order to somehow survive, I attempted to run away…!
“That’s ridiculous!”
To Neter, the fact that General Dong had stopped was more shocking than the fact that the King of Blood had fallen.
As he was a member of a clan that had lived in the black snowy plains for generations, General Dong was recognized as a disaster that could never be caught.
‘If this happens, Fury has no choice but to collapse even further…!’
Therefore, Neter concluded that this incident would inevitably lead to the revival of Antromorph.
The fact that Mervinger and humans were joining hands with Antromorphs was information they already knew.
In that case, we need to hurry up and get out of here somehow…!
“It looks like Chief Yeongho is very busy.”
So Neter told his subordinates to hurry up and instead of trying to carry him, he had to stop midway.
Because the people they never wanted to meet were suddenly blocking their path, smiling coldly.
King Velence was smiling coldly as he looked at him.
There were many people around me who looked familiar as Neter.
All of them were city leaders who showed hostility toward Fury or were only looking for an opportunity to escape even after entering his sphere of influence.
The subversive forces had already gathered together!
‘I never thought they’d already come together…!’
It was a situation that Neter would never be happy about.
It was bound to be a painful miscalculation for him, who had judged that no matter how much Antromov could bring the other cities together, it would take a considerable amount of time.
Did the young Tiger King have outstanding ingenuity befitting his age, or did he just not like Fury’s rule?
The reason was unknown, but it was clear that this was a situation that Neter would never be happy about.
“I never thought that people who had completed construction would come to visit us in person like this.”
Although Neter acted as if nothing had happened on the outside, he quickly glanced sideways at his surroundings.
However, troops were already deployed at all possible retreat locations.
‘shit! If only General Dong had been there at a time like this…!’
Looking at the enemies, the subordinates also seemed quite confused. As we all sweated, we looked back at Neter. The intention was to resolve this crisis somehow.
But can Neter be a sharp number?
Even if I tried to force it… there were too many pages on the other side.
For a moment, I thought about taking the young Tiger King as a hostage, but looking at Chancellor Norus right next to him, I thought that would be difficult.
“Your Majesty the King. “Don’t be like this, I think there are a lot of things we can solve through our conversation…!”
Neter quickly judged the situation and realized that the tide was completely tilted in that direction, so he tried to somehow announce his intention to surrender.
“I think other people need that conversation more than me.”
King Velence cut off Neter mid-sentence.
Antromorph aside, there were many cities that had resentment and resentment towards Fury.
And King Velence knew well that he had to cold-heartedly offer up a sacrifice now, just to appease their feelings.
So he nodded to the 21 leaders who were staring at him and took a step back.
Sreuk!
The leaders used sign language as if they had been waiting and rushed to where Neter and others were.
“Oh no…!”
Neter shouted in an urgent tone, but his voice was already covered.
Argh!
Argh! help me!
A scream of pain echoed through the forest.
* * *
“Take heart, Your Majesty.”
Chancellor Norus could no longer watch Neter and others dying in a horrible manner and patted King Velence’s shoulder as he slowly turned his head to the side.
King Velence sighed.
“Becoming a king… is not easy.”
“no. Your Majesty has done very well so far. So don’t worry too much.”
These words of Prime Minister Norus were by no means empty words.
From the time we negotiated with as many as 21 city leaders. King Velence was no longer a young and immature king.
King Ho (虎王).
He showed without hesitation the temperament of the tiger, the king of the mountains.
He explicitly threatened that cities that tried to back away from the conflict with Fury would be disadvantaged in the new order that would follow.
We tried to win their hearts by even giving up our interests if there was a need.
It looks like that.
‘It was like seeing Elric Mervinger.’
It made Prime Minister Norus happy because it reminded him of someone.
Of course, it might not be good to see a king admiring and worshiping someone, but Chancellor Norus thought that Elric was an exception.
‘Because he was born king’s talent. That person.’
Even as Prime Minister Norus, who had served as Prime Minister for a long time, there were several times when he was surprised by his flash of judgment and keen insight despite his idiot-like appearance.
so that.
Chancellor Norus sincerely hoped that thanks to the revival of Antromov that would begin in the future, he would be able to have a deep relationship with Mervinger.
‘There is a high probability that the situation of the continent and the empire will be influenced by the actions of the Mervinger family within the next five years. We must ride on that.’
Even if Antromorph were to form the Beast-Man Alliance again, the integration process would undoubtedly take a lot of time. King Velence also needed time until he became an adult.
‘no. Even if time is not needed, we must avoid confronting the modern empire with just the beast-human alliance.’
In the eyes of Prime Minister Norus, Elric was already a talented person who could easily become one of the leading fighters in the beastman society.
-Is it my level? Oh, there’s still a long way to go. If you just search around the world of magic, you’ll find tons of them. On top of that, if you go all the way to the inspection bureau and go outside the empire… Ugh! Just thinking about it makes me angry.
This was the answer given by Chancellor Norus when asked about Elric’s importance in the empire.
At first I thought he was bluffing, but now I know that there wasn’t a single lie in what he said.
-And right now, as for my teacher, don’t you think it would be difficult to guarantee a winner even if my old grandfather came back?
Moreover, how dark he was when he said that while referring to Augustine.
These were words that could not help but send a chill down the spine of Chancellor Norus, who regarded Augustine, who had not shown much activity during that time, as only a sidekick to Elric and his party.
And even Augustine said that in modern times, he could not call himself the ‘number one’ even within the empire.
If you were just nostalgic for the old days of King Yulho and tried to cross the barrier, you could end up in really big trouble.
‘It was said that in the old days, the gap was definitely not this big. However, while we have been busy fighting against each other in an isolated and narrow well, the world has developed so much… no, we have regressed so much. In order to catch up to that gap at once, we have to stand up somehow.’
For that to happen, they absolutely needed Elric. And conversely, Elric had to need them too.
Only then will we be able to build a win-win relationship.
[It’s the scent of flowers! Our scent is spreading wildly!]
[Wow! General Dong has disappeared!]
[Elric did it!]
[It’s spring! Spring is coming!]
[It’s so warm!]
While Prime Minister Norus was lost in other thoughts for a moment, the gods of winter flowers above his head said, ‘Waaah!’ I saw it flying up into the sky while making a sound.
Now that General Dong, who had been putting the flowers to sleep, has disappeared, he opens the temple door and comes out to bless the black snowy field.
The faint scent of flowers spread more delicately, the spring cold gradually subsided, and a gentle spring breeze blew.
I thought about this as I watched wildflowers bloom one by one and weeds grow on the dry land.
Spring will soon come to the Antromorphs and the beast people.
