Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 158

Episode 158:

The Weil Family

“In the end, we couldn’t do anything.”

“This is a bit annoying as it is. I was so greedy that I thought I would make a final resistance. “I was just an idiot who couldn’t do anything.”

Amidst the excitement of the audience.

There were twin sisters with identical faces.

Right now, there were very few people who were caught up in the conversation between Elric and Herman and were paying attention to this.

Just a few minutes ago, they had such a beautiful appearance that many reporters and articles were glancing at them.

Also, what about the color scheme? The legs that were clearly exposed through the skirts that were open all the way to the upper thighs boasted not only beautiful legs but also outstanding sensuality.

Moreover, the red, plump lips and the mole under the eyes added to the richness and had the charm of immediately capturing the attention of those around her.

However, because of this, men could not easily approach them.

Even those who were normally confident in their own style couldn’t resist the vibe they were secretly giving off.

If she had just a beautiful appearance, she would have been the object of flirtation in a place where there were a lot of men, but in addition, she had something that overwhelmed those people, so she could boast of an unrivaled presence.

So all the men did was twitch their bodies like puppies with their tails twitching and peek.

The twin sisters didn’t pay any attention to it, as if they were used to the attention of those around them.

They just have a conversation between the two of them that is difficult for others to understand.

“This is how I end up taking unnecessary steps.”

Lapis-Lazuli. Lazuli, the second of the sisters who shared the name of the gem Lapis Lazuli, clicked her tongue and said.

After ruining everything the previous day, he hit Hilton’s head and Paul was alone. She was the demon who looked for him.

Lazuli’s offer to him was very simple.

Join hands with us.

If you continue like this, you will fall anyway. Even if you lose to Herman in the match or are lucky enough to draw, you will eventually die or have your hands and feet cut off by the trap set by Elric.

The Elric that Lazuli had seen and judged so far was never the type of person to leave alone someone he had judged to be an enemy. It was clear that Elric would try to kill Foul somehow, just like all the men who had been called Mervingers for generations.

So Lazuli chose Foul Weil.

It was because he thought that he, who had now lost everything, would be suitable to be used as a long-time member of the organization ‘Grigori’.

Grigori is currently caught by the Inspection Bureau and has no choice but to reveal its existence to the surface.

In that case, there was a need to shake up the empire significantly both internally and externally before going to war in earnest.

The Red Lion is already in danger and has completely joined hands with Grigori.

If a new tile called the Blue Lion was added to this, Grigori would have obtained two very large tiles.

That’s because the status of the ‘lion’ within the empire was very great.

‘But that stupid guy kicked away such a good opportunity.’

It was a result that was difficult for Lazuli to understand.

Of course, even at that time, Paul showed his intention to reject Lazuli’s offer without any sign of hesitation.

You can’t trust someone you just met for the first time, or even a demon who lurked like a stray cat?

But at that time, I thought it might be possible since it was a sudden offer.

Lazuli had told me that if I changed my mind, I could make it known at the training hall.

It’s okay when the battle begins, so if you want it, the power will come to you at any time.

So Lazuli naturally thought that once Paul was put in danger, his mind would immediately change.

So what happens after that?

It goes without saying, but as the god they served shared his power, something mysterious was going to happen.

So, with all preparations in place, he hid his identity and blended in with the crowd.

It was all in vain.

It was natural for Lazuli to be annoyed.

but.

“I understand.”

Unlike her younger sister Lazuli, her older sister Lapis had a faint smile on her face.

One of Lazuli’s eyebrows twitched.

“You understand?”

“then. The human race, especially the males, are prone to throwing their lives away for the most foolish things. “Family and honor.”

“These are completely useless things.”

“yes. These are useless things. But human males are very prone to such things, right? “Paul Weil was probably one of those males.”

“If you join hands with us, will it put a strain on your family?”

“It could be something like that. It could have been that he was trying to gain honor out of his last remaining pride. Or is it both?”

“What is that? “You’re stupid.”

It was the culture of human society that was completely incomprehensible to demons with extremely strong individualistic tendencies.

Of course, they are part of an organization called Grigori, but it is only a means to achieve the goals they pursue.

From the beginning, feelings such as loyalty, filial piety, or righteousness seemed like nothing more than a foolish game to them.

“That’s stupid. “You’re so stupid.”

Lapis narrowed her eyes.

The two pupils, shining bright red like fresh blood, were fixed firmly on Elric and Herman, respectively.

There were two human males trying to do something as stupid as Paul Weil.

‘I wonder what other foolish things they’ll do.’

Lapis smiled while stroking her chin with her hand.

The head of the Mervinger family, known for generations as a pioneer of magic and a master of magic, becomes a blue lion?

What will the result be?

and.

How will it work in the upcoming war with the Empire?

It already seemed like fun.

* * *

“The head of the magic clan becomes the next blue lion!”

“The magic swordsman appears!”

“What does that mean? “I’ve never seen Elric hold a sword, so he must be a magic warrior and not a magic swordsman!”

“Either this or that! Anyway, the wizard is a blue lion…!”

The Weil family’s territory was crowded with people.

From how Mervinger’s territory battle will end to the bitter battle between the Weil brothers for the position of Blue Lion.

This was because incidents that made the people of the imperial capital curious were happening one after another.

So, people who felt like they could afford it flocked to the Vail territory, and even the heavy-hearted central nobles assigned people to find out for themselves what the results were.

and.

Among them, there were quite a few who gathered to follow Elric.

Currently, Elric Mervinger is like an idol to the young people of the Imperial Capital. The name had as great a ripple effect as the imperial family or the Lion House.

The story of how Mervinger, who had only two members, came into conflict with Paul Weil, who had been famous for a long time, had already spread through the media and inflamed the hearts of young people.

In particular, almost no one knows about Elric’s activities in Lascent City and the story of the friendship he formed while rescuing the 4th Prince Cromhel from the border guard.

And the spirit of those who had gathered here to lend a helping hand was evident.

Of course, most of them were just people who showed off in the neighborhood.

Still, there were quite a few people who occasionally had a good look in their eyes or radiated energy.

Of course, Brian was one of those latter people.

Although I could not enter the main house because I did not receive permission from the Bile family, I just waited around the territory and waited for the results to come out.

I could confidently say that my support for Elric was as much or even greater than that of other people.

But then a story like that came out.

‘Accepting the Blue Lion’s offer? ‘What on earth is going on?’

Brian had no idea what was going on, so he had to just listen to the conversations people were having.

There was all kinds of stuff going around.

The match between Hermann and Paul.

The Inspection Bureau claimed to be the emperor’s messenger, but Elric himself came forward and blatantly ignored it.

Then, he selected Herman as his agent for the territory and succeeded in killing Paul.

Afterwards, Herman suddenly offered Elric the position of chassis engineer…!

If you had just listened to it, you would have dismissed it as an exaggerated sagas by luxury people who like to talk.

Or maybe you think it’s the plot of a third-rate novel that’s out there somewhere.

However, it contained too much detailed information to be dismissed as just a rumor.

It was difficult to tell which part was true and which part was false.

still.

One fact was certain.

Elric won!

“uh? Ugh! “People are coming out!”

“It’s Elric Mervinger!”

“There’s a blue lion too!”

While Brian was clenching his fists and thinking that everything was going well, the mansion suddenly started to become noisy. Elric and Herman were coming out, leading a bunch of knights.

In no time, a crowd of people flocked there. The territory immediately became noisy.

“uh? Huh? The territory war ended like this? already?”

“Then what should I do?”

“You’re not just disbanding, are you…?”

“Nonsense! “I came all this way to make a name for myself!”

Meanwhile, people like Brian who were hoping to become Mervinger’s best force all expressed their dismay.

Since most of them had made a name for themselves by helping Elric and were aiming for the beans that might fall, it was a shame to just go home empty-handed.

Brian also couldn’t have done that because it would have been absurd for him to go back immediately after throwing in his resignation letter in front of Commissioner Chaif with such vigor.

But wouldn’t it be difficult to get noticed by Elric like this?

So I just wanted to know what to do.

Then.

Suddenly Elric came out this way.

Then, everyone who was making noise, including Brian, fell silent and turned their attention to that direction.

“I would like to thank everyone who came this far to help me and my family.”

Elric didn’t particularly put any magical power into his voice.

But strangely enough, his voice had a strange magical power that made it sink deep into people’s ears.

“Thanks to your support, my family and I were able to come this far and continue to move forward despite going through a crisis.”

Elric’s eyes scanned the people’s faces.

“So, in order to repay your support and show my loyalty to the empire and the imperial family, I would like to join the army in suppressing the rebellion of the Red Lions.”

People quickly began exchanging glances with each other.

Some people were moved by Elric’s words, but there were also others who were typing away on calculators in their heads.

When Elric waged a territorial war against Foul Weil, it was okay because there was a large shield called Hermann… but what if they wage war?

I wondered what kind of benefit I would get from losing that protection.

Rather, there was only the risk of being seriously injured if one jumped into the battlefield.

『It seems like there are a lot of people who are being rude, right?』

[In any case, it is better to exclude people who have different thoughts in their heads from the beginning. Management will also be less cumbersome.]

Even as an Elric, having followers was never a bad thing.

Just as Tasha Neresta had the ‘Flam of the Firebird’, Prince Kromhel had the Knights.

If you have a private organization of your own, it will be of great help in your future activities.

perhaps.

With this opportunity, he might be able to lay the foundation for his own force comparable to the Antromorphs of the Neresta Gana tribe he had seen so far.

But before that, I was planning to exclude as much as possible.

Because there was nothing good about getting bigger.

“but. “Right now, you’re thinking more about other things, right? That could either spread your reputation or ruin it in its own way.”

Herman suggested that he become a messenger for the chassis.

Elric withheld his answer, saying he would think about it for now, but it still remained heavy in his heart.
