Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 79

Episode 79

: Burnt Snow Field

“Are you going to keep watching like this?”

“This cannot be left to just the commander of the Guard! We must hurry! Come on!”

Immediately after Elric and the others leisurely left the place.

Antromov’s ministers and officials all turned pale and jumped up in their seats.

To others, he looked like a loyal subject who was worried about the king’s safety.

In reality, they were feeling very burned inside.

‘shit! ‘I never thought there was a real king there!’

‘If a human bastard even says something strange in front of the captain of the Royal Guard, I will be finished!’

‘What on earth is going on? ‘Ahh!’

I don’t know what King Velence might have heard. That was the thought of the ministers and officials who visited the villa.

If King Velence heard the whole truth and came back and used it as an excuse to swing his sword, they would all be finished.

No matter how young he is, a tiger king is a tiger king.

There were more than a few times when they felt chilled by the charisma radiating from their small, young bodies.

So, either King Velence dies ‘accidentally’ during the hostage situation or something.

‘Completely disappear….’

The two may seem to have the same meaning at first glance, but they are completely different.

The former would really cause greater confusion, and the latter would be a new ‘opportunity’ for them after the confusion.

‘This much! This must never be caught!’

‘Let’s get through this night safely!’

‘I… will become the new Tiger King!’

The thin booklet that was currently sitting in their arms was instilling ambition in each of them.

A booklet purchased from Elric at a very high price.

at that time.

Prime Minister Norus, who had been quietly listening to the stories of the ministers and officials, glanced at them with an indifferent gaze and blurted out a word.

“Has everyone already completed their transaction?”

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

“Judging by the expression on your face, it’s true. her! “There are so many prisoners who have the ‘strong body technique’.”

No sooner had those words ended.

Kwakwakwak!

Ministers and officials holding booklets describing Gangchejuk left their seats and quickly started using sign language.

“shit! “Wasn’t it just me who made the deal?”

“Damn you human bastard! After all, I didn’t believe in humans!”

“Such traitors! You covet the Gangchejutsu, the secret of the Tiger Family! “Can you still call yourself subjects of the Great Antromorph!”

“Shut up! What’s different about you! “After all, I still wanted the Gangseojutsu!”

“Don’t treat me like you guys! “I was just forced to do something to protect the safety of the royal family!”

“You said something crazy and fell asleep!”

Murder and speculation raged incessantly, and shouts and criticism poured in from all directions.

The true loyalists who did not make a deal with Elric quickly banded together to fight against the traitors.

The conference hall quickly turned into chaos.

“What is going on?”

“What’s so loud? “The king is in danger now, so even if we agree on one goal, it won’t be enough…!”

“I don’t think that’s it! “Something is strange!”

“Aren’t they trying to commit treason without the king’s knowledge?”

Citizens who were watching from outside to see what was going on quickly assessed the situation and surrounded the conference room with cold faces.

It was an instant for Antromorph to fall into self-destruction.

and.

“….”

Prime Minister Norus, who was the one who started this incident, sat in his seat and quietly closed his eyes.

* * *

“…It must have gone awry by now. “Did you pour so much oil into a place that was already so chaotic that you even threw it on fire?”

“I also threw firewood.”

“Are you bragging!”

Sean had to press his temple with his index finger as he looked at Elric, who was smiling confidently.

“When are you going to grow up?”

Of course, Elric once again ignored his close friend’s scolding.

Instead, Mephisto agreed.

『I don’t think something like that will ever happen in my life.』

[Tap dancing?]

『Growing up means adapting to the common sense imposed by existing society, so it’s probably not a good thing for a wizard who chases mysteries and miracles. Now is the perfect time.』

Elric clicked his tongue as he watched Mephisto becoming more and more shameless, but he had nothing to say in response.

“Would it be okay?”

At that time, King Velence, who was on his back, asked in a slightly trembling voice.

Before I knew it, I could see the monument that was the dividing line between the black snow field and the city.

“You don’t have to worry. “Only the first part of the Gangchejutsu distributed to ministers is plausible, and the latter part is all nonsense.”

“That’s not what I meant…!”

King Velence glanced back.

I could see Irina following me, still with a stiff expression on her face. And after that, the scene of Antromorph, which somehow seemed to be more cluttered than before, was also glimpsed.

“Do you want to go back?”

King Velence was startled and turned his head forward again.

Elric was looking back at himself with a faint smile.

“Oh no. “I was the one who said I wanted to get out of the city, and you have to open the way to the Temple of Flowers…!”

“Not those conditions. I’m just asking what the King has in mind right now. What do you want to do?”

King Velence’s eyes wavered for a moment.

“Do you want to go back? Or do you just want to turn your back and walk away? “We will help you accordingly.”

For a moment, King Velence’s mind was all mixed up.

He was confused and had no idea what Elric was talking about.

Why bother asking this when all you have to do is just leave?

At the same time, I thought back on what I was thinking now.

The palace is filled with flocks of wildcats waiting for the opportunity to devour them.

Even now, just thinking about that place leaves me breathless.

But what about cities?

‘Citizens… are different.’

Citizens always smile at themselves. They greet you warmly and give you flowers. They even give you apples they picked in the morning, asking if you’re hungry.

They were also the ones who smiled brightly, saying that even when General Dong came to visit and there was a shortage of food and clothing, they would be able to overcome it if they worked together.

They were all good people and good neighbors.

But what if I leave them like this and leave Antromorph?

If you leave it in such a state of confusion… what will happen if General Dong attacks you as well?

It was as clear as fire what Antromorph would look like if I were to leave alone.

And it was as if we were looking into the inner thoughts of King Velence.

The deep emerald eyes again captured the agitated King Velence.

“What choice would you not regret?”

“I am…!”

In the end, just when King Velence was trying to shout something in a stuttering voice.

[Everyone, stop!]

Carol, who was clearing the way at the front, suddenly sent an urgent message to all of the party.

With only a few tombstones left, the group stopped walking as if it were a lie.

“Hoo? “The air is a bit chaotic?”

Augustine lifted his head slightly, smelled it, and laughed.

Giliti quickly sent the familiar flying outside.

Food!

The sight I observed as birds and bats flew into the sky was not very positive.

“her!”

“Why are you doing that?”

Gility laughed bitterly at Elric’s question.

“The black sand wind is coming. Plus frozen dock and gravel. “If I go in there wrong, I’ll end up with a blood clot.”

“It’s General Dong! “General Dong is coming!”

“Do you think that is the real identity of General Dong? It’s not just a four winds or a dragon fist wind, it’s almost like a typhoon… You mean there’s such a strange phenomenon? “It makes me want to research it separately and write it down as a thesis later.”

Giliti laughed as if it was amazing, but King Velence’s pale complexion did not return.

A disaster that creates a huge sandstorm that not only tears everything that comes in its path to shreds, but also leaves strong ice and poison where it passes, turning them into dead bodies.

In the end, nothing but monsters can grow on those limbs and they become stronger.

It was because of General Dong that the black snow field had no choice but to become increasingly golden.

But it suddenly came close to the Antromorph?

For the group that needed to get out of Antromorph quickly, they had hit a wall.

Moreover, seeing as Gility was talking nonsense, it seemed like the problem didn’t stop there.

“Can I borrow your Hwanan too?”

“I guess so.”

Elric learned from Gilliity and developed the illusion eye, which he had not been able to use for a while.

Eyes that cast a sort of hypnotism upon the beast. However, as the skill level increases, it is possible to share the familiar’s vision by connecting psychically.

With Gilliity’s help, Elric was able to see the vision of his birds and bats.

There… I could see a group of about a thousand people advancing with General Dong’s sandstorm on their backs.

An army that runs majestically while riding mounts such as Drakes and Horde Wolves.

The flag flying above their heads read:

-Furry.

“It seems like Fury knew about the situation here like a ghost and sent the army.”

Fury is a city-state built by the Young Tiger tribe against the Tiger family.

The Antromorph’s nemesis and threat was about to attack!

“What do you mean by that? How could Fury…!”

As the King of Velence, all of this was incomprehensible to him.

How long had it been since there was a commotion in Antromorph that Fury from far away could have noticed it?

Or rather, how can the army move through General Dong’s sandstorm, which even monsters stop their actions!

For Anthromorph, it was a situation that could only be called a crisis for Nuran.

King Velence was busy wondering how to accept this situation or how to judge it.

Then, King Velence realized that Elric’s emerald eyes were still looking at him with a smile.

“Are you sure you’re going to sell me to Fury…?”

“If I had thought it was necessary, I would have just passed the charge over there without even looking around.”

“then…?”

“I haven’t heard the question you asked earlier yet.”

The question is what is the choice you will not regret?

King Velence opened his mouth for a moment, unable to say anything, and then finally opened his mouth.

but.

The young Tiger King’s eyes were sparkling with intelligence again.

“I… don’t want to see the city being ruined. I want to go back and be with the citizens. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

A voice full of power.

Elric smiled and nodded.

“I knew so. “Then let’s change our strategy from here.”

“…!”

King Velence looked slightly surprised as he had not expected Elric to accept his opinion so obediently, but he quickly nodded his thanks.

“what?”

“Are you changing from running away to fighting?”

“Do you want to have more fun?”

The blue hawk became a more interesting face.

Augustine looked at Elric with a strange expression.

“Disciple, what have you done again? There’s ‘something very big’ they’re not telling us. Isn’t that right?”

“It looks like the ‘enemy’ has appeared, so how about we prepare to fight together first, Master?”

“If you don’t explain properly what happened, it will only disturb you. Is it okay though?”

“…Tsk.”

When Elric’s attempt to ignore him failed, he placed King Velence on the ground and slowly opened his magic.

“I made a deal with the Prime Minister.”

“huh? “Prime Minister?”

“No… With Prime Minister Ruth? “What did he say…?”

“yes. “He asked me to save your life.”

“…!”

The pupils of King Velence, who had always thought of Chancellor Norus as a traitor, suddenly trembled.

“what? “So that old Black Wolf man pretended to be a traitor?”

With his clever mind, Augustine was able to figure out how things were going.

All of this was a card game played by Elric and Chancellor Norus!

Elric nodded quietly.

The words that Prime Minister Norus said when he came to the villa came to mind.

-What I want to trade for is actually the safety of our young king. I’ll give you whatever it costs.

-There are too many hunting cats here in Antromov’s palace. Please, please protect our king from them.

-Please…give me this.

The old minister of the Heilang clan bowed his back and bowed his head.
