Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 200
Episode 200:
The founder of dragons
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
Everyone in the crowd was shocked.
Who is Viscount Curansiville?
As the head of the family of Viscount Twerk, Mervinger’s traditional ally, he was Ganwoong (奸雄), who had always been successful even after leaving Mervinger’s umbrella.
For that reason, the imperial family and the inspection bureau also made efforts in every way to capture him.
However, it was unrealistic enough for that person to be cruelly broken by Elric.
And now that he had lost his life, the shock was bound to be great.
In particular, Viscount Twerk’s soldiers, who were unable to move even after Viscount Kuranciville’s defeat, looked quite perplexed.
Since I couldn’t go against the trend, I had no choice but to side with Elric.
I never thought you would actually kill the viscount!
‘What is it…?’
‘I can’t believe you’re killing me…!’
According to noble etiquette, no matter how serious a crime was committed, it was extremely rare for a person to lose his or her life, even if his or her power and property were taken away.
This was to prevent in advance the risk of it escalating into a dispute between families, as he did not know when he would find himself in the same position.
From the perspective of ordinary soldiers, it was nothing more than the annoying arrogance of noblemen, unlike themselves, who risked their lives to fight in war.
Still, because I knew well the unwritten rules of the aristocratic world, I thought, ‘No way.’
But Elric never took matters into his own hands.
Rather, he just looked down at Viscount Curansiville’s body with an indifferent expression, as if it was natural.
and.
Elric raised his head and glanced at the crowd.
The soldiers, who were immersed in silence, were busy shrugging their shoulders and hastily turning their gaze to the side in case they made eye contact with Elric.
Viscount Twerk’s officers and soldiers were completely overwhelmed by the atmosphere and could only remain rigid.
It was the same for the soldiers of the Count Franz family.
It was obvious that they were afraid that the same spark would hit them.
In particular, Rodeo, who had memories of being treated harshly by Elric, had to lower his head as if he were a turtle.
The old Elric he knew was truly gone.
There is only the Mervinger matriarch.
Then Elric’s eyes were fixed on Count Calliger.
“….”
“….”
The two did not talk.
However, the meaning of Elric’s gaze was very simple.
-What are you going to do?
It was an expression of confidence that if you were going to resist like Viscount Couransiville, you should resist as much as you can.
For a moment, numerous thoughts passed through Count Calliger’s mind.
‘What do we do? Should we start a military rebellion now?’
I don’t know what happened, but my attempt to contact Prince Zereitz has already been caught.
In the end, the initiative belonged to Elric.
If Elric simply handed over the letter to Prince Cromhell, his political standing would be completely shattered.
For example, that book was like a dog leash attached to him.
Will you rebel or will you put the dog on a leash yourself?
‘If I had known this guy would make such a splash, I would have attacked him sooner…!’
This was the result of the fact that Elric would never have thought that he would personally attack Viscount Curansibile, even at the risk of infighting.
like that. In the end, the choice Count Calliger made.
“…We have nothing to do with this matter. “I also don’t know what the letter Duke Chan Chan-sung was talking about.”
All charges were to be placed on the deceased Viscount Couransiville.
In any case, although the situation here was clearly stated in that manuscript, there was no evidence that he wrote it himself.
In the end, Count Calliger decided to wear a leash around his own neck.
He didn’t have the confidence to resist Elric and win here.
The power that Elric showed was overwhelming.
No, regardless of that, I couldn’t hurt Elric in a situation where the Blue Lion and the company were here. In the end, you have to subdue it, but doing so only puts you at a disadvantage.
“is it?”
“I see… that’s right.”
“It’s a shame.”
“…!”
Count Calliger clenched his fists.
Burrr!
My fists were shaking with anger.
Elric blatantly ignored him and turned his body in the opposite direction and shouted.
“All rights and family assets of the viscount who committed a military mutiny will be confiscated. “According to principle, all of this would have to be reported to the imperial family and council to discuss handling, but since this is a war situation, it is up to the commander to manage it at his/her discretion.”
“debriefing!”
“debriefing!”
“Also, regarding the count who may be suspected of being connected to the viscount, all exercise of the powers given to him will be suspended and his new soldiers will be placed under arrest until all charges are proven. In the meantime, the earl’s authority will be exercised on his behalf by a person designated by the General Staff.”
In short, he meant that he would take away all of Count Calliger’s personal soldiers and treat them as Elric pleased.
It was as if his nose had been cut with his eyes open, so Count Calliger had to collapse in anger once again.
But since there was nothing he could do right now, all he could do was promise the next time.
I had to keep fiddling with the ring leading to Interresia.
That’s why he didn’t see it.
Not far away.
The fact that a crow was looking down at him.
* * *
“Good job, Ate.”
Elric tapped his deputy on the shoulder as he left the scene.
Ate just silently lowered her head as if it was an excessive compliment.
In fact, it was Ate who was most responsible for resolving this situation.
Because he has been in a relationship with the main soldiers of the Count Franz family and Viscount Twerk for a long time, and has practically monitored them.
Although all the plans came from the head of Isabelle, a soldier, it was Ate who carried out the work himself.
In addition, Elric often used the magic eye he learned from Giliti Tenz to tame animals and place them in the two noble families’ camps.
“Do you plan to keep Count Calliger as he is?”
Ate asked while glancing at the Count Franz camp, which was still in a desolate mood.
Eat.
Elric laughed lightly. One corner of his mouth curled up.
“That can’t be possible, right?”
Ate nodded in agreement.
Certainly, the Elric he had seen so far was not a person who never left a trace of unrest.
“It’s not surprising no matter where a blind arrow comes from.”
Elric’s smile became meaningful.
For a moment, his eyes flashed purple.
He was currently sharing part of his gaze with a crow released nearby.
Count Calliger was seen fiddling with the ring with an anxious look on his face. Even though he was making comments to his son Rodeo, he showed no signs of taking his hand off the ring.
ring. Was it Elric’s simple illusion that the patterns drawn on the surface looked similar to some of the patterns drawn on the magic sword?
“You touched my person and it ends like this? flaw! Hehehe!”
“….”
That was when Elric smiled darkly.
Pop!
Suddenly Ate stopped walking. Elric stopped laughing for a moment and looked at him, wondering why he suddenly did that.
Ate still said nothing. I wasn’t usually one to express my emotions out loud, but for some reason, my pupils seemed to be shaking slightly.
“…Am I also the head of the family?”
“What kind of nonsense is this again?”
“I want to hear an answer.”
“Of course he’s mine. “Why are you saying such an obvious thing?”
“….”
“You also stepped up and helped Brian and helped me with my work. “Then of course, as the head of the family, I have to embrace you, right?”
Ate pursed her lips tightly.
The appearance of hesitating over something.
Elric couldn’t help but laugh again. I could hear the sound of air escaping between my lips as if I understood.
“therefore.”
“…?”
“Tell me later what you’re hiding too.”
“…!”
“I go first.”
Elric left without saying anything.
At that look.
Ate had to stand silently for a long time.

-Assemble all troops.
The command Elric gave was very short.
But the content was clear.
Go to war.
The long-awaited moment has finally arrived.
At a time when the military camp was in turmoil due to Brian’s injury and Viscount Curansiville’s punishment, all attention immediately focused on preparations for the competition.
In the process, the leadership of Count Franz and Viscount Twerk was quickly replaced.
Most of the officer-level personnel were excluded and placed on pension with Count Calliger, and the family soldiers were dispersed all at once and included in the Star Service Army.
From anyone’s perspective, it appeared that Mervinger was forcibly merging two noble families.
But no one objected.
Because I was already overwhelmed by the majesty that Elric showed.
However, it also meant that if Elric’s authority was shaken even slightly, there was a high risk that it would naturally collapse.
However, Elric didn’t seem to mind at all.
Since I decided to swallow them by force anyway, I had to endure this much.
Moreover, weren’t Count Franz and Viscount Twerk originally members of the Mervinger family?
What should have been recovered long ago was only now found.
anyway.
As a result, the number of troops of the Star Wars increased to 5,000 in an instant, boasting a weight class that was incomparable to that of the previous war.
It was a spectacular sight to see all those soldiers moving under Elric’s leadership.
and.
The order to participate was given.
-Our target is the demons.
The soldiers all nodded.
Mervinger’s archenemy for over a thousand years is none other than the alien demons.
The fact that the Red Lion Army colluded with them was already widely known among the soldiers. It wasn’t strange at all that Elric’s spear was pointed in that direction.
Rather, the fact that there were demons around here made them even more excited.
I wanted to see for myself how effective the skills I had developed while staying here were in practice.
“Open the fence!”
“Open the fence!”
“It forms a triangle formation. The first unit will be at the forefront, and the second and third units will support the rear of the first unit.”
“I will participate.”
“I’m competing!”
Boom, boom, boom…!
The war horn rang loudly and the gate of the wooden fence that had surrounded the military camp like a castle wall opened wide.
A plain that is hard to find in this area was revealed.
It was wide open, as if announcing their future, so much so that it opened the hearts of those who saw it.
But my heart was also beating wildly.
Elric, standing in the vanguard, gave a command. As soon as the Spotted One began to run ahead, making a loud noise, the entire army followed suit and started running at once.
Doo doo doo doo!
The star army ran, and the blue lion army of the Hermann and Weil families ran. Sailor’s Black Skull and the Company’s Army also ran side by side to keep up. Among them were Sarnai and tribal warriors who were trying to protect the sacred place.
Wow!
Shouts followed.
It was the sound of the Mervinger legend, which had lasted for over a thousand years and had been paused for a while before being rewritten, finally taking its first step.
