Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 388
Part 2 Episode 128
East
Brian’s eyes widened.
Ante was also looking at me with a blank expression on his face, probably quite surprised.
‘If I think about it now, Mirka gave me a lot.’
Although his personality was eccentric.
Elric remembered the study where he stayed for a while under her arrangements.
Among the contents of the books there, there were quite a few things related to Mirka.
Her history as well as her magical engineering knowledge.
It was something I thought would never be found because the inspection bureau robbed Mirka’s tomb first.
Mirka also seemed to be aware of it.
Looking at what was shown to Elric through the arrangement.
Elric remembered all of these things in detail and copied them down into a new booklet.
“So, if you look behind you, there will be blueprints for an airship.”
“If it’s an airship… Are you sure you mean ‘that’ airship?”
Since Brian had been in the east all along, he couldn’t see Mirka’s airship in person.
The rumors about it were so loud that it made my ears pierce.
It cannot be produced even with the current technology possessed by the Magic Tower.
It has enough firepower to destroy a significant force with just one weapon.
Did you say he was so great that he could take on Guy Neresta, the lord of the magic tower?
So, I was quite surprised when I heard the rumor.
I really wanted to see it if I had the chance, but I was also disappointed that I couldn’t.
But this is the blueprint for such an aircraft.
Of course I was bound to be surprised.
“Is there a reason you showed this to us…?”
“that’s right.”
Elric smiled and continued.
“I hope the Star Wars will study the contents of the booklet and produce a large number of airships.”
They knew too little about magic knowledge to leave it to Hermann or Andre.
There were too many things I was already responsible for.
The same goes for the mountain peoples of Batu.
They had very little understanding of heritage.
So there is only one place left.
There was nothing but a group of stars.
Those who are trustworthy enough, who know the value of their heritage, and who can carry out Elric’s instructions well.
Above all, most of them had knowledge of magic.
This was because many of them were drawn to Mervinger’s magic knowledge.
“ah…!”
“If the production is successful, no one will be able to touch us in the future.”
Brian nodded in agreement.
What if dozens of airships filled the sky?
How many forces can resist it?
The imperial family didn’t know whether to give up or not.
But there were some problems.
“But I think it will take quite some time. “There are too many concepts that I don’t understand right now.”
Knowledge that was difficult even for Brian, who was once a level 5 administrator.
Even if we were to gather people with long backpacks within the star group, we couldn’t be sure how long it would take.
Perhaps I should seek advice from various academic institutions.
“don’t worry. “The Magic Tower has agreed to help, and I will also participate in the research.”
“Then that’s a relief. And there is one more obstacle.”
“what?”
“Anyway, to carry out a project like this….”
“It costs a lot of money?”
“yes. That’s right.”
No matter how much Herman, who was a merchant, stabilized the finances of the East.
Since it is large, it is certain that it will cost a considerable amount of money.
Even in the Magic Tower, the biggest expense was Yuk Mangseong and the research funds under him.
Originally, the study of magic was a study that grew by eating money.
“Don’t worry about that either. “Because I already prepared it.”
Elric waved his hand lightly.
Then Interresia opened wide.
The magical warehouse where the family’s legacy rests contained a huge amount of wealth that showed why the Mervinger family was a prestigious family.
“This…!”
“That doesn’t make sense…”
Brian and Ate’s mouths were wide open.
『Scammer.』
[Why are you staying silent again?]
『Then you are a cheater! More than half of them were taken from the Jewel Forest!』
[Is it a problem if I just take a little of what is lying around in the sky? Hehe.]
Elric was thinking of visiting the Jewel Forest again when the money in his magic warehouse ran out.
Of course, considering inflation, etc., we have to do it to the extent possible.
Still, having a water bottle (?) that doesn’t dry out was such a big help.
Brian had a completely mesmerized look on his face.
I was surprised because I had never seen this much money in my life.
On the other hand, my face was very flushed.
‘Here… I’ll be able to do whatever I want to my heart’s content!’
Magic engineering.
Infinite research funding.
Even support from Magic Tower and Mervinger.
Is there any other place in the world that perfectly meets all these conditions?
For Brian, who had been strapped for money all his life and had to live off the opinions of his bosses and investors, this was an incredibly moving experience.
“Is this enough?”
“It’s almost too much.”
Brian was so excited that he couldn’t wait to go to the lab and hurriedly packed the booklet.
Of course, it was the same with Ate.
“Then let’s get started on the project right away!”
With that said, finally.
There were no retainers left in the reception room.
“….”
Elric remained alone, savoring the scent of coffee.
This quiet atmosphere.
I wanted to enjoy it as much as I could because it was quiet, like the eve of a storm that would come someday.
* * *
Two years passed quickly.
Meanwhile, the eastern part became more stable and peaceful days continued.
Of course, it only looks that way.
Contrary to appearances, a defense system was being built behind the scenes.
In order to prepare for a war that could possibly break out.
Then one day it happened.
“Abbabababa.”
“Mephi, look at this. “My daughter speaks well.”
『What happened to your ears? “Is this just babbling?”
Mephisto looked down at Lia, who was lying down with an uncomfortable expression.
“no way. Didn’t you just say dad? And let’s show our face in front of the kid, okay? “I’m scared that my child will imitate my ugly face.”
“what? It would be better to resemble King Bon. “What nonsense is that?”
“Shh! Be quiet. I’m going to say it again. Lia what? dad?”
“Boo boo boo boo.”
“You have to do it, Dad.”
“Daddy baba baba.”
“Oh oh! yes!”
Elric was amazed and delighted.
But I couldn’t help but make a strange expression at the words that followed.
“Dad baba bu bu. “Babababububu.”
“…?”
“Abba baba bubu.”
Even though the child said it without knowing, it felt strange.
Mephisto burst into laughter at that sight.
『Pahahaha! Still, the name Mervinger is brilliant. I also know the identity of my father.』
“…Can you please be quiet? “You make all kinds of strange noises when the child is babbling.”
“joy. “Is it even okay to say you’re a genius or something with just babbling?”
At that time.
“Daddy Babu.”
Lia pursed her lips with a very clear pronunciation.
Cold sweat ran down Elric’s cheeks.
“…Lee… Ouch?”
“….”
But Lia just kept her mouth shut.
Wow! Wow! It just made a different sound.
“Is it Leah? Let me say it again. Now follow me. dad. genius. dad. genius. huh? Should we hurry up and try it?”
Cry!
“joy. “Can’t you see that he’s getting tired of me continuing to do strange things?”
Elric didn’t even listen to Mephisto’s words.
“Huh, Lia?”
Then.
“Aaaah!”
Lia ended up crying due to the continued urging.
Elric is worried and doesn’t know what to do.
Wow!
“Sigh…!”
Suddenly, someone hit Elric on the back.
“I told you to hang out with the kid, so what on earth are you doing?”
Isabel, who had gone out for a while to run errands, came back after hearing Leah cry.
“No, Isabel, that’s not it…”
“That’s enough!”
Isabel hugged Leah as if she was taking her away and patted her back.
Soon, Lia’s face became bright again.
Caw!
“Wow!”
Isabel’s face was filled with laughter because it was so cute how she tried to say ‘Mom’.
“…Why me?”
Elric still gave Lia a longing look, but did not hear the answer he wanted.
Sobbing. Even if you try to please your daughter, it won’t help anything…
It was a time when Elric was in such despair and depressed.
smart!
Someone knocked on the door.
“This is Hermann, matriarch. “Can I come in?”
Whenever I see Lia, her tone is completely different from when she laughs and says that her grandfather came to visit.
It meant that he came for urgent work.
“yes. Come on in.”
Soon the door opened and Hermann came in.
Hermann smiled slightly as he looked at Leah, but then his expression turned stern and he spoke.
“An envoy has arrived.”
“envoy?”
Elric’s frown narrowed.
“Could it be that you came from the imperial family again?”
“no. “This time, we are guests from the Protestant Alliance.”
He was the Pope’s envoy.
* * *
Elric headed to the reception room accompanied only by Herman and Andre.
There was a request from an envoy to come with the two of them.
Jump up!
When I opened the door and entered, the envoy had already arrived.
A knight wearing pure white armor.
The gold patterns embroidered here and there and the wing-shaped decorations on both sides of the helmet created a sacred atmosphere.
Even the sitting posture exuded elegance without any disturbance.
It was to the point where I couldn’t help but think that he was indeed the Pope’s envoy.
“You’re here.”
As soon as the knight saw Elric, he stood up and slightly bowed his head. Elric’s face was reflected like a mirror on his helmet.
“What did the Pope send you for? “Have the movements of the remnants of the Inspection Bureau been discovered yet?”
“You’re half right and half wrong.”
“What is that…?”
“First of all, before I give you the answer, let me introduce myself.”
Elric had the feeling that the envoy was somehow smiling.
Soon he slowly took off his helmet, which was large enough to cover his entire face.
and.
“Now you…!”
“Was he alive?”
At that moment, Hermann and Andre’s eyes widened as if they had seen something they could not see.
Even two people who don’t usually have severe emotional ups and downs would be surprised.
“Do you know someone?”
“He has no choice but to know. “That knight…”
Before Herman could finish answering Elric’s question.
The envoy stood up and bowed.
“I am Innerity, an apostle who worships the Blue and White God and a white lion belonging to the Lion Gong family. “It is an honor to meet you, Duke Mervinger.”
