Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 471
Episode 471
“That’s it…”
The boy’s expression contorted as he figured out my true identity.
Although this is a small city-state, it is the home of the Alchemy Sect, and its prestige is quite high for a city-state.
However, from the position of the king’s son, the highest being in such a small city-state, how likely is it that the person he should be wary of suddenly appears without rumor?
He must have thought so.
“Prince Davey, the saint of the West…”
“Yes, the prince of the city kingdom of Pogos. Can we accept the Kingdom’s official opinion as hostile?”
“That’s…”
“As long as the insult is at this level, it won’t matter if it becomes an international issue.”
The boy’s expression turned blue at my words.
A guy who only knows how to wield his power, but doesn’t know how to take responsibility.
If he had a good head, he wouldn’t have done that in the first place.
“Let’s go to sleep. Calm down. Prince Davey.”
I don’t know what to do if it goes beyond an individual problem and spreads to a national problem.
In the first place, he probably wouldn’t have even thought about it.
It was a gray-bearded old man who interceded for me on behalf of the bewildered Prince of Phogos.
The president of the Alchemy School.
that was his position.
“Is it because of a misunderstanding…”
“Are you misunderstood? If I did something wrong, I could have seriously injured someone here.”
“Please release your anger. The prince is still young, so he often makes mistakes. If a prince with a high reputation forgives you once with a generous heart, I will never forget the grace that accompanies you.”
If you want to run amok like a child at the same level, try it.
What does that mean?
then.
have to match
Jesus said
Throw stones at those who are guilty.
‘Isn’t it?’
No matter what.
“It’s an informal visit, so I can’t help it. We will put an end to protests between countries.”
At my calm words, the prince’s face turned bright.
“However, as of this time, all transactions between the Heinz estate and the Alchemy School will be abandoned. We will suspend all subsidies and income from the Hines estate every quarter.
Anyway, since it is the management income, there is no loss on our side.
Being self-sufficient is such a scary thing.
Of course, even as an alchemist with numerous clients across the continent, the loss was not great. Even if it wasn’t the Hines estate, there was no problem in rolling the alchemy school.
However, that is the position of the alchemist school, which spreads like a spider’s web, and not the position of the president.
The Mage Tower is like that, but the Alchemy Sect is a funny group where countless forces check each other.
In other words, it was said that even though he was the president, the moment the pod was bitten, the heads of numerous schools would bite him off.
In a situation where there are many enemies inside.
What if even a small loss explodes with something trivial?
The work turns out to be funny.
Did you know that I didn’t know that either?
“The election of the president is also approaching.”
I heard that in the presidential election, the influence of the Emperor of the Three Empires is also a position that cannot be ignored.
It’s because the Three Empires is receiving a huge amount of subsidies.
Although the products made by the alchemists are sold at a high price, the loss is quite large considering the opportunity cost they use every moment.
In fact, in the case of the president, it was a moment when his position was greatly shaken due to the corruption of unreasonable withdrawal of funds.
What if the Heinz estate, which is sending a negligible amount of subsidies against it, suspends the transaction under the pretext of this absurd situation?
I don’t know about the Alchemy School, but his position changes very embarrassingly. Because other political forces who are determined and gnashing their teeth will happily use this as an excuse to bite them off.
Is that all?
The prince who threw the tool at me will also be considerably shaken in that he has caused great damage to the country due to his childish behavior.
“Prince De Davey! Just think again! Now, if you suddenly cut off the deal like this…!”
“If I die, the deal ends there anyway. Can you tell me more?”
At my words, he put on a troubled expression.
Then he gritted his teeth and looked at me.
“If you cut off all dealings with the Alchemy School, the prince will suffer a great loss.”
At that, I nodded my head.
“Yes. There are many inventions actually made by the School of Alchemy among the inventions necessary for everyday life.”
“So stop it now…”
“Stop it.”
“yes?”
“I just need to be self-sufficient, so what is there to regret? In the first place, there must be a limit to block it with the authority of the president, but you can figure out for yourself which direction the damage is greater, whether it is this side or that side.”
As if I had nothing more to say, I shut my mouth, and he gritted his teeth.
Since his position was shaky, it seemed that it was quite unfair to have to step down in this situation.
But soon he suppressed his pride.
It was he who bowed to me right away.
“Forgive me. You are still a little prince. If you show kindness just once…”
“Then let’s do this.”
He opened his eyes slightly at my smile.
“Looks like you’re competing with Edison-sama here.”
“Ah… yes. ”
The president replied shyly.
“If you win there, I will forgive you. It’s funny how childish behavior spreads to a national problem.”
At my words, his face lit up. I’m still in a shaky position, but I can’t help but be happy with the opportunity to eat for free.
“Really… is that really enough?”
“Instead, there are conditions.”
At my words he looked at me.
“It’s enough for me to support Edison’s work.”
An expression that says I don’t know what the hell I’m trying to do comes in. Edison’s face, who had been caught up in it, was red with anger.
He’s a technician after all. It is only natural that he be furious because he believes that he is lending a hand due to his lack of ability.
“hey! What are you talking about!”
Ignoring Edison’s enraged words and forcing me to answer, a small smile appeared on the president’s lips.
What he was thinking was understandable.
Even if I applied to him, who had worsened as the situation worsened, there would be no other way because the time was extremely short. Now that there is a lifeline in a politically shaken position, the opportunity cannot be missed.
That’s what it seemed like.
“If only. Prince Davey.”
Of course, the president quickly erased his expression, but this immature prince did not openly reveal that.
Perhaps he had doubts about why I, who had brought this situation, was making such a proposal.
“If we lose…”
“Then you’ll know who you threw the stone at. Conversely, if that side wins, I’ll get down on my knees and apologize.”
As the two left, Edison rushed like a thunderbolt and grabbed me by the collar.
“You bastard! What the hell are you doing!!”
Without resisting his enraged behavior, I smiled.
“What are you doing? Let’s quickly end the boring contest and do something awesome with me.”
To my smile, he gave me an expression that he couldn’t understand me.
* * *
Anyway, this incident was dramatized and spread all over the place.
The president announced this to the entire city kingdom of Pogos to prevent me from being able to speak twice, and because of that, people wondered what effect my sudden appearance would have on this great competition.
“Do you have an accident every time you see it?”
Inside the crystal ball, Illina spoke with an expression of astonishment.
“Doesn’t it look interesting?”
“Why would you bother buying something like that?”
“Being the president of the Alchemy School itself isn’t a problem, but for now, being a member of the Alchemy School is a problem.”
The damage is greater than the benefit to be seen as hostile.
As of now, that is.
“so? What are you going to do?”
“It’s a golem contest. I have to show you.”
Illina’s expression turned pale at my words.
“To release those monstrous chunks of iron?”
Decepticon Squadron. They are the ones who will burst into astonishment if their existence is properly known to the world.
“No way. That inspiration will do. What is the use of what I made?”
At my words, Illina only sighed.
“Tell me if you need. If there’s anything I can do to help, I’ll do my best to help.”
After that, I cut off contact and entered Edison’s studio, where a metallic sound resonated nonstop.
“Tsk tsk. That bastard’s workshop is bizarre.”
The Golgotha elder who came with me looked around Edison’s studio and clicked his tongue.
Golem contention. Literally, it is a sparring that hides the superiority of each other in technology by creating a better golem.
If you want to hear it as a sparring with a skeleton in its own way, it seems that several hands have been added to this situation.
kang!! kang!!
He hit the hammer with a stiff face and approached Edison, who was fixing the mechanism inside.
KANG… KANG!!!
I wonder if he watched him for a long time without saying a word as he worked as if he was almost in a mixed state.
His hammering stopped for a moment as Lynne, who could not bear the boredom, began to wander around the studio lightly and look around.
Then he took out an iron ingot, threw it into the furnace, and opened his mouth.
“I have a granddaughter who is terribly obstinate.”
At his words, I gently touched the skeleton of the golem he had made.
I made it well in my own way, but I can’t win because of this.
“My granddaughter.”
“okay. I don’t have any ties to you either.”
At that, I looked at him with a puzzled look, and he, who was staring at the brazier, squatted down and said,
“When she was six years old, she was betrothed to a prince of an eastern kingdom.”
Do you know what the name of that kingdom is?
As I was silent at his continued words, Perserk poked my cheek with his finger.
“Raun Kingdom.”
At her words, Edison nodded.
“You are a mysterious lady. They say that there are eccentrics who make their bodies smaller with magic. Is the lady one of those types?”
Perserk quietly laughed at Edison’s words.
“The Raun Kingdom?”
“That’s right. The first prince of the kingdom of Raun, Davey Olawn. Your fiancee is my granddaughter.”
At his words, my expression darkened mysteriously.
Is this a new word?
As if he noticed my intentions, he chuckled.
“Don’t even do that. Your father, King Crianes, and your granddaughter’s parents were once close friends. It must have been said without words to you.”
At that, I quietly nodded my head.
“is that so.”
“The story has leaked elsewhere. Anyway, something happened at that time, the engagement was broken off and I took my granddaughter in. Since then, my engagement to you has been broken. Isn’t it really funny that the engagement was concluded and then broken off without the person knowing it?”
Muttering bitterly, he took out a piece of metal and started pounding the hammer.
He is a Dwarf who has inherited the blood of his father-in-law, even if he is a technical advisor.
His hammering was ingenious.
After that, everyone forgot what happened. My granddaughter didn’t even mention it after the engagement was broken.”
“What does that have to do with this?”
“Do you remember that bloated prince who came earlier?”
At those words, I remembered the boy who was the Prince of Pogos. He was a foolish boy who was intoxicated with his position and the ideology of the chosen people.
“The prince pushed a formal marriage proposal to his granddaughter. unreasonable sound. You can’t give a granddaughter to that stupid guy who can’t take care of himself and doesn’t even know the world.”
At that, I quietly nodded my head.
What kind of parents would entrust their daughters to an untrustworthy son-in-law?
“That bastard has a lust for lust simply because his granddaughter is one of the six most beautiful women on the continent or Nabal.”
“I think it’s disgusting.”
When Lynne spoke calmly, Edison, who turned his head and glanced at Lynne, smiled.
“okay. disgusting But what can I do? I’m stupid and have nothing to pile up, so I have no choice but to be swept away.”
“What happened?”
“I have a lot of debt. Most of them are debts owed to the state. It means that because of that debt, I have come to the point where I can’t refuse marriage talks.”
So it seemed that he even thought of sending his granddaughter away as a last resort. Above all, the position of the granddaughter, who would rather die by biting her tongue than marry the immature prince, must have played a part.
“But he vehemently refused, on the grounds that doing so would put me in an awkward position.”
Edison, who used all means to veto, was eventually cornered. The application for competition came through debt.
If you win the contest, I will repay your debts and make it a non-controversial affair.
Conversely, if you win, do not express any dissatisfaction and arrange a marriage meeting.
and.
“It was a condition of completely handing over the copyright of all my technology.”
The competition itself was between the president and Edison, but behind the president was the prince. Even if he was stupid and immature, he was a prince. They used all sorts of dirty tricks to destroy the golems they were building for the competition several times.
There is a feeling, but there is no physical evidence, so I can’t say anything.
It is precisely this situation that has led to the end of the predicament.
“So I have to do it. I must protect my granddaughter.”
“Then you shouldn’t have refused my help.”
At my words, he smiled bitterly.
“Introducing an outsider into such a messy competition? How far do you plan to throw my ego as a technician into the abyss?”
His love for his granddaughter and his remaining pride as an engineer.
It is compatible and confuses him.
“It’s okay to win.”
“It’s not that easy. Do you know why I get angry with you for interfering in this? He’s the ultimate authority on battle golems! It is a being recognized even in the academic world. All I’ve done in this unfavorable yard is this scrap metal skeleton!”
Why do you want to gamble on yourself by interfering in useless work?
I smiled at his question.
“You can win. How difficult is it?”
“There is no one who can follow him when it comes to golems. Even though the president has a strong self-interest, his skills are amazing. In fact, all of the battle golems out there today were designed by him. I don’t have the confidence to make anything better than his technology.”
At his words, I calmly nodded my head.
“Then it will be more fun.”
“Hey, what did you hear what I said!!”
“Mr. Edison. Do you think that the golems that are out in the world right now are the end of golems?”
“It’s a pity, but they’re blameless golems.”
“It’s just a lump of scrap metal?”
“what?”
“Evaluate that the Alchemy School is outdated.”
Then Lynne interrupted and laughed, and Edison’s expression lit up.
“This little boy knows what he is talking about! Even those who have no answer will know how great those golems are! See if you have eyes! Do you think it’s possible to make something even greater than him in this short amount of time!? No, it’s impossible even if there is time. With the world’s technology…” ”
Then ask for opinions on what to judge Lyne’s technology.”
at the same time as saying
Lynne quickly rolled up her dress and lightly opened the stomach area.
Inside, you can see the amazing technology-intensive interior.
“…”
After being silent for a moment, Edison approached Lune with a dazed face and took a peek inside.
Then he sighed and ran back.
It was completely stunned.
Showing an absurd expression, I lightly slapped Lynne on the head, who was standing there with an expressionless expression.
“Down your skirt. Doesn’t the kid have any shame?”
At my words, Lynn looks up at me with clear eyes.
