Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 221

Episode 221

Raising the Flag

“Now I can finally return to the empire.”

Under the flag waving powerfully.

Elric stood at the edge of the fortress and looked down at the land spread out in the distance.

Although the horizon was all rugged with several mountains.

Elric knew. That there is an empire out there that is in full chaos.

Is this a return after a few months?

Three or four months?

no. Maybe half a year.

Roughly speaking, the seasons have changed two or three times.

Even after defeating the demon lords, time was spent so hectic that my sense of time became dull.

That’s why Elric was a little excited at the fact that he was going back to the empire.

Hermann, too, had a smile on his face.

“But it starts now.”

“okay. “It starts now.”

Hermann nodded heavily.

It seemed as if countless incidents that had occurred over the past hour were passing by like afterimages over his sunken pupils.

After finishing all my business in Interresia.

Elric immediately dismantled the guardian dragon and focused on turning the star’s army into dragon soldiers as a by-product.

He received a sincere oath of loyalty from them and distributed the guardian dragon serum that he personally purified – of course, it was natural to sign a contract with a penalty for breaking the oath in the process.

I also handed over some of the progenitor’s magic, “Dragon Soldier’s Art,” that my grandfather left behind.

Based on this.

The soldiers, who had already improved their skills through the various technologies provided by Elric, were able to lay the foundation for another leap forward.

On the other hand, he also devoted himself to making weapons based on the skin, scales, and bones of the guardian dragon.

As Mephisto once considered himself a ‘dragon slayer’, he knew very well how to use the corpse of a dragon.

-Those guys called dragons. It is a very generous tree. There is no place to throw it away. However, once their lifespan is over, their bodies are disassembled into mana by nature, so it is difficult to obtain them except through hunting…!

When a field he was familiar with appeared for the first time in a while, the explanation was unnecessarily long and boring.

anyway.

In this way, the smelting of weapons could be done at a high speed and without major mistakes.

Making blades such as swords and spears from hard bones.

Making the inner armor out of leather.

The scales were mixed with white lotus steel and smelted into sturdy heavy armor.

Fortunately, because the Guardian Dragon was so large, it was no problem to distribute all of these weapons to the Star Wars, as well as some to the Bile family and Black Skull.

-Hmm, I don’t know if I can take this.

-If you feel uncomfortable, you can return it.

-That’s not it…!

-Pahahaha! Then I will take it in stride. When you get old, the only thing you can be greedy for is something like this.

-What about Hermann?

-Hum hum! Suddenly I changed my mind. It wouldn’t be polite as a friend if I refused to give it to you. Hum hum hum!

Even though Hermann and Sailor’s expressions brightened when they received their new swords, they couldn’t help but brighten up.

On the other hand, it also served as an opportunity for the knights of the Bile family, who had maintained a certain distance from Elric, to open their hearts to Elric one by one.

-Please forgive us for the rudeness we have committed in the meantime.

The proof was that Danju Kanata of the Cheongyang Knights bowed his head to Elric, accompanied by his knights.

Hermann and Isabelle looked at it happily from afar.

And the wheel of time rolled again.

Not only weapon refining but also basic training as a mercenary soldier has been completed.

Armed with solid armor and weapons, the Star Wars have now become elite soldiers that will never be inferior no matter where they are deployed in the world.

Thanks to the rigorous training, his identity as Count Franz and Viscount Twerk, which were part of the existing vassals, was greatly diluted.

That is how the 2,000-strong group of regular soldiers was born.

And now it was finally time to really leave.

Elric visited Sarnai to say his final goodbyes.

And there.

Elric was able to meet someone he wanted to meet someday but never had the chance to meet.

He was the god of the sky who descended on Sarnai’s body.

-You are the grandson that Uthden was talking about.

Even though I obviously can’t see. At that time, Sarnai was looking directly at Elric.

Her normally calm voice also changed somehow, becoming serene and full of dignity.

I feel like I have to bow my head in front of him.

At the Flower Temple, I met the God of Water and other flower gods in person, but it was a completely different feeling.

I wondered if this was truly the grace of God.

-Ugh…! I can’t believe I have to feel this dirty feeling again. It is a disgusting space. Let’s go out quickly after we’re done with our business. I don’t think the King will be able to stand it if he continues to stay here.

Mephisto, who was next to him, really hated that energy.

-Mephistopheles You are still rude.

However, the god of the sky seemed to have heard Mephisto’s irritation. ‘Exactly’ I said that while looking at Mephisto.

But somehow, there was a smile on his face as if he was happy to see it.

-what? Do you see this king? Still, it doesn’t look like you got the position of god by gambling, right?

-Because I’m in control of everything. I’m looking at where you’ve been and where you’re going.

-What is subjective? It must have been a bystander.

-The vocabulary you can choose will vary depending on how you look at it.

-Tch!

Mephisto seemed to not want to continue talking to the Changcheon God’s eloquent speaking skills, so he crossed his arms and turned his head to the side.

Elric had to shake his head next to him. I felt this every time, but Mephisto was the type of person who couldn’t stand arguing.

Then Elric made up his mind and paid his respects to the God of Heaven.

Although he did not properly bow his head even to the crown prince. The God of Changcheon was a being who deserved such a greeting.

-I heard that it was the God of Heaven who met my grandfather and had Sarnai lead me here. thanked.

-I just did what I had to do. Descendants of ■■.

■■.

Elric could not remember the exact pronunciation of the object mentioned by the God of Heaven.

I’m sure I heard correctly.

However, it seemed as if my brain refused to make the decision, so I couldn’t remember it. It was as if they were trying to avoid recognition.

However, Elric was able to sense who the god of the sky was referring to.

father.

He mentioned the name of the person whose existence was only legendary even within the family.

-I was just doing it at the request of my friend ■■. There is no reason to be thankful to me.

-Can I ask what Sijo’s… request was?

-I want to do that too, but I can’t help it. It was ■■’s will. To put it simply, do you think your descendants will eat too much raw food? He told me to hide it as much as possible because it didn’t seem like fun. Ousden also had quite a bit of trouble because of that.

-….

-The smile you are making right now. It was exactly the same smile that Woosden used to make.

Elric clicked his tongue. It seemed that the grandfather who had bullied him ended up doing the same to his ancestor.

As expected, Mervinger. Even if I die, I will never see others succeed easily. I felt like I could figure out where the tendencies passed down from generation to generation came from.

So I got more annoyed.

-anyway. I wanted to see it at least once. What will his ‘successor’, whom ■■ said would be born someday, look like?

In those words.

Exciting!

Exciting!

Elric had to force his racing heart to calm down.

heir. The words that Sijo said touched me so strongly.

The founder probably did not use that word simply to refer to the head of the family.

It would mean someone who will properly inherit his magic and teachings.

I was happy that it had been pointed out to me.

And on the other hand, I wanted to know for what ‘reason’ the arrangement of the four seasons was communicated to me.

-But looking at it like this, it seems very devotional. Looks very much like him. Enough to remind me of ■■ in my youth.

And in a short conversation with God Changcheon. Elric could tell that she was very happy. It felt like meeting a friend I had to let go of a long time ago.

It was good for Elric to hear many secrets from her in his own way.

Because I was able to hear stories from the past that are not even recorded now.

and.

-Go west. There will be what you want there.

Elric was able to receive a trust that was not a trust.

I couldn’t figure out what that meant.

When asked about its meaning, the God of Changcheon just smiled silently and strangely.

Since the place he was at at the time was at the end of the eastern border, going west could have simply meant returning to the empire, or it could have meant going further to the western edge.

Maybe it meant that if you go to the real West Sea, you might be able to get something.

However, Elric expressed his gratitude because he knew that it would be of great help to him in the future.

and.

The expedition began in earnest.

I planned to make my first feat as big as possible.

Only then will the Red Lion Army, Batu, the Demons, and the Empire know of their return.

-Akran Fortress. go there

The reason for choosing Akran Fortress was very simple.

It was the place that could provide the greatest stimulation to the Red Lion Army, following Ketline Fortress, which was the stage where the Star Wars army first took action.

‘Belot… That big demon king’s magic energy was heading this way.’

I don’t know if it was Grigori’s headquarters or branch, but in any case, it was the place where the traces of the demons were heading.

『The insidious smell is wafting all the way from here.』

While listening to Mephisto’s words to himself.

“【Show】.”

Elric activated his magic widely along the horizon in his field of vision.

Bellot may have no idea.

In the guy’s shadow, there was still a part of the lump of thought thrown by Hyul’s thoughts.

Kikikick. It will be the first time in a while that I will be able to eat something delicious.

Hyul’s thoughts were so amusing that he giggled as if he were going to die.

and.

‘found!’

Elric was able to discover something.

The foot of the mountain boasts a much steeper slope than other mountains.

There was a lot of Hul’s ‘smell’ in the air.

“Hermann.”

“okay. Looks like you found something interesting again, right?”

“Don’t you want to catch the demon lord that you couldn’t catch last time?”

Hermann’s eyes widened as if this was something he had never expected, but then he burst into laughter.

Fangs were exposed between one greatly twisted lip.

“I want to catch it. “You have no idea how unfair it is to become a knight and lose your prey.”

“Then let’s go catch it. “That prey.”

Elric laughed along with him.
