Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 302

Part 2 Episode 42

Inspection Bureau

“How dare you little bastards! “Do you know where this is?”

The sound of the guards and Lilim clashing in front of the villa could be heard up to the third floor.

“Demon King!”

Only after the special butler’s earnest cry.

“under!”

Diana seemed to have finally regained her senses and returned to her noble face.

“escape?”

Diana snorted and threw the broken fan at the butler.

“How can that be easy?”

This place, like no other place, was the center of the imperial palace. No matter how great a devil she was, escaping from here wasn’t easy.

Moreover, the Inspection Bureau, which has planted its influence, has already begun cutting its tail.

He was putting all the sins on himself.

Even if you ran away while losing your background in an instant, there would be no one to save you time.

In short, you have to use a dump.

To that extent, the Inspection Bureau will also try to strangle themselves in some way.

“Then what do you plan to do? If you do it, no way…!”

“okay.”

Diana smiled bitterly. Her red lips looked like they were stained with blood.

“Even if everything gets ruined, we can’t let it get ruined by their hands. “Shouldn’t I be the one responsible for both making the gorgeous flowers bloom and plucking them?”

She is the Great Demon King.

Now, since the Demon God disappeared, her reputation is on the wane.

Still, he was once a divine being who had the world under his feet.

You cannot give your fate to a mere human being.

Saying that, Lilith slowly stood up and looked out the window.

Beyond. I could see the main palace where the emperor was staying.

An emperor who loved him and spent every night with him.

Even though it had been a while since the guards attacked this place, he showed no sign of coming out.

“Tsk! Well, it’s ridiculous to expect something like that bat-like guy to make a decision. “Isn’t he really more of a snake than me, being sneaky and cunning?”

Diana clicked her tongue and looked down at the guards who had already killed most of Lilim.

At that moment, a guard spotted her and shouted.

“There it is! There is Princess Diana on top of the villa! “Kill it!”

“Cheeky things.”

Diana frowned slightly and magical energy began to burst out of her body.

Gooooo!

“Look carefully. I’m the one you guys are trying to catch. “I’ll show you clearly who Lilith is!”

Tsutsutsutsu-

The magic energy spread like fog and enveloped the surroundings.

The atmosphere changed in an instant.

gulp.

The guards swallowed their saliva as fear suddenly gripped their entire bodies.

Just for a moment. Soon, a snake of enormous size came out of the fog and rushed towards the guards.

And then

kwawaa –

the massacre began.

* * *

A late night without even the slightest hint of popularity.

A group was gathered in a quiet vacant lot.

It was Guy and the people from the Magic Tower he brought with him.

And not long after, Elric arrived. With Red Lion and Nameless.

“So you arrived first?”

As Elric said that, the wizards behind Guy came into view.

He looked like he had been well trained and his angles were perfectly set.

It seemed like they had definitely brought along skilled wizards, as they had requested from Guy in advance.

Guy, who felt Elric’s gaze, introduced the wizards as if he were proud.

“How is it? “They are war mage lawyers with at least 5 and 6 circles.”

Elric was impressed by his words.

Teacher of the Law.

He had heard of it too.

If there were wild beasts such as ‘wolves’ and ‘vultures’ in the Lion family to protect the lion’s prestige as the king of wild beasts.

There is a lawyer in the magic tower who protects the magician’s system and rules.

They can be said to be the true force that helps the Magic Tower project proper influence on this world.

In fact, some of them were faces that Elric had seen before.

‘Is he the head of the family after all?’

I’ve felt this many times, but Guy was truly amazing.

It’s possible to gather so many wizards with strong individualistic tendencies overnight like this.

“Everyone is amazing.”

“It has to be that way. “Because they are the ones I taught directly.”

“You… taught it yourself?”

“okay. “If you had the skills, no matter what school you belonged to, they would bring you in and teach you like a disciple.”

Elric’s eyes widened at his words.

That’s why, unlike the Lion House, which was well-centralized around an outstanding figure called the Golden Lion, the Magic Tower generally had very strong factionalism.

This was because it was an allied force made up of numerous schools and families that followed magic.

Therefore, wizards are divided into different affiliations depending on the magic they learn.

Naturally, most schools were extremely reluctant to have their magic or technology known to the outside world.

It was not for nothing that the saying, “Non-human, it is not taught,” came about.

Sometimes, if the schools were different, it was impossible for father and son to pass on magic to each other.

No, even if the discipline within the school was relaxed, there were many cases where direction was not possible due to the different compatibility of the magic learned.

But you taught without paying attention to such things?

And the head of Neresta herself?

It’s so unusual that it can’t happen in the Magic Tower.

‘If you take into account that the magic each person has learned is different…!’

『Just the fact that he can provide direction shows how outstanding a person Guy Neresta is. If it’s distribution, if it’s distribution skills, if it’s skill, if it’s politics, it’s politics. Neresta really appointed the right person as its leader.』

Mephisto nodded, deeply admiring the same thoughts as Elric.

Elric glanced at the lawyers.

That’s certainly why their loyalty to Guy seemed very high.

The military discipline was well-established, and it seemed like the discipline was well established as a result of having experienced many battles with Guy.

“…?”

Then he realized that the eyes of the lawyers looking at him were unusual.

Although Guy was there to tolerate it, it was clear that he didn’t like it for some reason.

In some people’s eyes, there was even life.

『How many accidents have you been causing? Why is it that everyone who meets you has their eyes turned upside down?』

[…Try to be quiet. [Because I’m already thinking about it.]

It was a time when I was thinking about what I did wrong.

Guy, who saw Elric’s expression, smiled and apologized.

“I’m sorry. “I think it’s because all lawyers come from noble backgrounds.”

“Why is that…?”

As Elric expressed his doubts, Guy pointed behind him.

The gaze naturally turned backwards.

Andre and Nameless stood still there.

“ah.”

Only then did Elric smile bitterly.

‘It looks like the families of the victims of Nameless are all mixed up.’

This is why it seems that taking on a person means having to deal with that person’s relationships and bad luck as well.

“Don’t worry though. Not all of these children can distinguish between public and private life. “You guys stop it too.”

While the lawyers responded by bowing their heads.

match!

Guy clapped lightly to brighten the mood.

“Anyway, they asked me to collect it, so I did. “What are we going to do now?”

“Do you know roughly what the situation is in the Rose Palace right now?”

Guy nodded.

In fact, it was impossible to not know without knowing.

The royal guards were causing an uproar, saying they were going to eliminate the source of the demons hiding in the imperial palace.

As Cromhel was at the forefront, the attention of various nobles and the media was bound to be focused.

Sigh!

The corners of Elric’s mouth curled up.

“Shouldn’t we be robbing empty houses while others are taking the bait?”

“Robbing an empty house? ha ha ha.”

Guy, who immediately understood Elric’s strategy, had the same smile as Elric’s.

“That’s a great idea!”

* * *

“Take that out quickly and incinerate everything in here! hurry!”

A dark night.

The inspection headquarters was more frantic than ever.

“there! What on earth are you doing! Don’t move too fast!”

“I’m sorry!”

People carrying boxes full of all kinds of documents were moving around busily and burning unnecessary documents on the other side.

“madam. “What kind of trouble is this?”

Betek, Director 2 of the Inspection Department.

He was frowning heavily with his hands on his hips.

Director 1 Black was very annoyed at the current situation where he had to clean up the poop that came out of nowhere.

At that time, his eyes caught sight of two inspectors who were stretching while holding on to their stiff backs.

Betek shouted, picking up the litter that was rolling on the floor and throwing it.

grasp!

“These bastards are gone! Everyone is running around like crazy right now. Can you take a break? Are you taking a break?”

“Oh no!”

“What do you mean no? Don’t straighten your back, guys. Didn’t you hear me tell you to hurry? “We have to finish it before the Royal Guard comes in!”

“sorry!”

After taking a breather for a moment, the people who heard the yelling were scolded again for no reason and started hastily moving other documents.

Tsk!

Looking at that, Betek clicked his tongue as if he was dissatisfied.

Don’t you know what the situation is now? It’s pathetic.

Perhaps the crisis that the Inspector General is facing today may have been created by the gathering of such low-ranking officials.

‘Once I become the first director, I’ll have to organize everything. Somehow.’

Betek envisioned a future in which he would first take over the inspection bureau after somehow resolving this matter.

It was then that someone put a hand on his shoulder and spoke to him.

“Director 2, it must be difficult, but let’s hold on for a little while.”

“Director 5.”

When I turned my head, I saw Konoten, the 5th director of the inspection department.

A writer with a cunning look like a snake.

“It’s a shower that will pass anyway. “If you just wait a moment and avoid it, the sun will rise soon.”

“Whew… I guess that’s how it should be.”

Batech also knew. Even the imperial family has no intention of completely eliminating the Inspection Bureau.

Because they have been a useful sword and shield for the imperial family.

The shadow of the imperial family.

In order for the imperial family to always be a noble fortress, they needed people to support them in the shadows.

nevertheless.

Why do I feel anxious for no reason?

Beten shook his head, thinking that it was all for naught, and shook off his thoughts.

Then he patted Konoten on the back and exchanged meaningful glances.

“Are you ready?”

“Almost done.”

“Thank you. “Then, thank you for your hard work.”

“thank you.”

And until then.

Caw caw!

They didn’t notice that a crow was secretly looking down from above their heads.

* * *

A forest not far from the inspection headquarters.

“Did you see it?”

Elric snorted as he looked at the crystal ball. There, the scene of the inspection headquarters was clearly visible.

He used the abilities he learned from Beast King Giliti.

Sharing the field of view with an animal designated as a familiar.

Guy, who saw this, also burst into laughter.

“You get along very well with the imperial family.”

Contrary to what Betek said, everything had to be taken care of before the Royal Guard came in.

The Royal Guards had already arrived around the inspection headquarters.

The only problem is that they are not doing anything and are just waiting.

There was no sign of any tension that a battle might break out soon.

Some even yawned as if they were bored.

It’s about waiting.

So that you can organize all the necessary materials.

It seemed like no one had any intention of raiding and conducting a search and seizure.

and.

This means one thing.

“The intention is to somehow keep the Inspection Bureau alive while Rose Palace faithfully serves as bait.”

“That’s right.”

“Our goal is to rob the scene, right?”

“That’s it.”

Elric smiled mischievously.

“Don’t you wonder how anxious they will be once their finances are completely wiped out?”
