Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 163

Episode 163

Boramae’s Weather

While leaving the camp.

Each of the Cheongyang knights quickly exchanged glances.

“Anyway, this is what Director Cheongyang thinks…!”

“uh. “It won’t change.”

“It’s true that we respect and rely on him because of his personality, but sometimes we really get upset.”

The knights sighed as one.

If you’re frustrated, Kanata’s personality can be described as frustrating, which is why your head hurts so much.

“So what do you all plan on doing?”

The knights all kept their mouths shut at the question someone asked.

It was difficult to give a hasty answer here.

I wanted to push the katana towards them, but my own will was so firm.

but.

However, there were many uncomfortable aspects to blindly serving Elric as the next lord.

More than anything. Are you still not confident that Elric can properly lead them?

Kanata, on the other hand, had nothing like that.

“First, let’s wait a little longer. In that case, Kanata-sama and Herman-sama’s thoughts may change. “You should also subtly ask the Blue Hawks about their intentions.”

From the beginning, they never entertained the idea of holding a protest or strike to enforce their claims.

Their position is already in an infinitely precarious state due to the Paul Weil incident. I didn’t want to go against Hermann’s wishes for no reason.

In the end, the knights’ sighs only grew louder throughout the night.

Meanwhile, at that time.

Isabelle was face to face with Hermann.

Hermann had a satisfied look on his face, wondering what was so good about it. On the other hand, Isabel’s face was full of fatigue.

“I guess it’s more than I expected.”

“What?”

“Well. It’s Elric’s job. “I think I might be able to access ‘Boramae’s Weather’ a little faster.”

A hint of surprise spread across Isabelle’s tired face.

“Are you saying that much?”

This was because I knew very well how much time and effort Hermann and other blue hawks had put into training ‘The Spirit of Boramae’.

This meant that Elric had a high level of insight in martial arts as well as magic.

Of course, the reason Hermann and others needed that much time was to interpret more than 60% of the work, but it was still a great thing.

“His understanding is not just good, but exceptionally good. The muscles are also very good. I originally heard that Mervinger’s lineage was both civil and military, but this is much better than I thought.”

In the past, it was often said that within the Mervinger family, there were so many outstanding talents worthy of their lineage that there were many who gave up magic early and took a different path.

In fact, among them, there were quite a few who changed their surnames and made a big mark in the history of the empire.

Most of them were excellent counselors or scholars, but there were certainly martial artists among them.

‘Now that I think about it, the Golden Lion was blonde like Mervinger, right?’

Because of this, there was always a joke going around that people with flaming blonde hair were born with a dominant factor.

This meant that the Mervinger’s position was great, and the question of whether there were specific traits or genes that were passed down only within their family was a topic that was still raised frequently in academia.

however.

It seemed that Elric was by far the best among them.

Herman had already heard from Lasel and Haman how great Elric was.

So Hermann, who had chosen him as his successor, could not help but laugh.

And the more I did that, the more confident I became.

Elric is the one who can complete ‘The Spirit of Boramae’.

No, he will overcome even that and eventually defeat the Golden Lion.

“Everyone Elric Elric… I feel proud to only sing Elric’s song, but I’m also a little upset. “Some people spend all day buried in documents, but no one notices.”

Isabel pouted her lips as if she was pouting.

Until a little while ago, I was busy trying to figure out issues related to the Wynd Territory before participating in the war, but I felt disappointed because no one knew about it.

“haha. Is that possible? Everyone knows you’re having a hard time. It’s just that I forgot to mention it because it’s not very noticeable. “But deep down, everyone is thankful.”

“That’s it. “It’s not like bowing down to receive me.”

“It seems like my daughter is quite upset… but Elric said so. “Please take good care of yourself.”

At Herman’s words, Isabelle’s eyes lit up slightly.

“really? “Elric?”

“her! Look at this. “You didn’t even listen to this kid’s placating, but now that you say Elric, your attitude completely changes?”

When Hermann let out a laugh, Isabelle quickly waved her hand.

“no way. “I can’t tell any jokes.”

“It didn’t seem like a joke at all, did it?”

“More than that, Elric really said that? Anyway, among these men full of sweat, Elric is the only one who is attentive…”

“Hey, hey. Now you’re coming out like this out loud?”

Hermann shook his head. Still, a smile formed on his lips. The reason he wanted Elric and Isabelle to do well was because he had the same thoughts as his sworn brothers.

When my daughter broke off her engagement, I couldn’t help but think about it because I knew how sad she was on the inside, even though she looked fine on the outside.

“Do you plan to keep leaving it that way?”

“what?”

“Chief Cheongyang.”

“Oh, you mean that?”

“also. “You knew.”

Isabel shook her head.

People often have the image of Hermann as just.

Indomitability or courage. It reminds me of a being with a courageous spirit and unwavering self-discipline.

But she knew.

That my father doesn’t just have that side of him.

Sometimes he had a snarky side.

Where did your resourcefulness come from?

He was not the son of a merchant for nothing.

“Then what do you plan to do?”

“I guess I’ll just leave it alone for now.”

“But…”

“Dissatisfaction doesn’t go away just because you cut it out. Rather, the more you suppress it, the more it will explode one day. So sometimes you need to let things flow naturally. This is none of my business. “It’s something that needs to be resolved between Elric and the knights.”

Hermann felt that he should never be involved in this matter.

Doing so will only create seeds of further strife.

“It is up to Elric to decide whether he will continue to embrace this family or whether he will exclude this family from the blueprint of the blue lion he will draw. But I’m not really that worried. I think you think so too. How are you feeling?”

Isabelle could only shake her head as she looked at her father smiling warmly.

“As expected, I can’t fool my father. “Then I won’t bother touching it and will just leave it alone.”

Isabel threw the documents she had brought into the stove. As the fire caught, the document instantly turned into black ash.

If Herman had told me to handle it on my own, I would have considered organizing the order within the family by tying it together with the previous Paul Weil incident.

Since Isabel said there was no need to do so, she also did not want to do anything.

In fact, there was a thought that I did not want to cause unrest within the family ahead of a big battle.

“But know that I won’t just sit back and watch.”

“Like I said, I won’t interfere in this matter.”

“That’s enough.”

Again and again!

Isabelle left the barracks with the sound of her shoes.

Hermann shook his head.

“Anyway, after this battle is over, some of the dissatisfied people will have to take off their clothes.”

Her daughter’s firm voice muttered as if she was scared, but Hermann was happy to see that Isabelle had grown even more.

It seemed like a generational change was slowly taking place.

* * *

It had been about ten days since the march that left the Byle family’s territory arrived near the Winds border.

In the meantime, Elric was able to learn from Herman and the Blue Hawk beyond the basics and learn their martial arts one by one.

Even though he was not at the level of understanding the five secrets or the secret powers, he was completely familiar with the form and the basic knowledge, and he gave off a fearsome spirit.

Also, I was able to slightly touch up the ‘beak’ and ‘claws’ that make up ‘Boramae’s Spirit’.

Even though I am still only familiar with the form, it boasted a considerable level of difficulty.

‘What on earth did the person who completed something like that do? ‘It’s surprising that someone like him was unknown until now.’

After all, the world is wide.

That was Elric’s first thought.

Since the birth of the empire… no, since the beginning of human history, in this era where the greatest power granted to mankind by God was created, there were too many people who could truly be called monsters.

‘Maybe that’s why it’s more fun.’

While Elric was thinking that, the march was entering a huge military camp.

The flag symbolizing the empire and the imperial family was waving loudly above the military camp located on a hill overlooking the Winds border.

It meant the main camp of the punitive army.

And next to it, large and small military camps were placed, displaying various flags.

By then, the Weil family’s march had also begun to unfurl its flags.

There were two flags.

One was the blue lion emblem symbolizing the Weil family.

The other is a sentence in the form of an owl landing on a book.

It was Mervinger’s sentence.

Books bring knowledge and magic.

The owl symbolized a wizard who pursues the truth.

Just as an owl wakes up in the dark of night and has eyes that see through the world, it was a sentence representing their will to cut through the darkness represented by the unknown and irrationality and pursue truth and rationality.

It is a sentence that is no longer visible to the outside world as Usden Mervinger closes his eyes and the Demonic Inscription undergoes a rapid decline.

It flutters high and mighty!

“her…!”

“I heard that His Majesty also issued a royal edict to Mervinger, but was it true?”

“But to show the flag so blatantly? “Isn’t your self-confidence a lot?”

“Isn’t the media agitated these days with the story of that young matriarch? So, the strength is firmly placed on your shoulders.”

The officers, who were nobles who had already joined the punitive force following the imperial order, looked at Mervinger’s flag with disapproval.

Among them, there were some who openly clicked their tongues and sneered.

Since I’ve been in the spotlight here and there recently, I feel like my shoulders have become stronger, as if I can do something.

Flying the flag out front never had a simple meaning.

It meant putting the history and tradition of the family first and was like showing the will to shine high on their glory.

In other words, if you are defeated on the battlefield or show unsightly behavior, it means that your family’s honor will plummet to the ground.

The fact that Mervinger, who does not yet have proper military power, steps forward like that could easily lead to a decline in the prestige of the magic clan.

In the end, no matter how much the media spotlighted him, they thought he was just an inexperienced young man.

On the other hand, it seemed funny to see a group of followers dragging behind the march.

As the nobles’ ridicule grew, knowingly or unknowingly.

There was a crowd of people greeting the march at the main gate of the military camp.

“Thank you for your hard work in coming this far, Blue Lion.”

Crown Prince Zereitz was smiling brightly.
