“… … What is this? Ian?”
“I came as a special investigator of the Empire. Perian Astria, I will arrest you on charges of using necromantic magic and rebellion.”
Ian handed the papers to Perian.
The contents of the document were the same as what Ian had said.
The seal of the emperor and the signatures of various nobles engraved there.
This meant that the content had already been passed at the meeting.
Perian looked at the document and widened his eyes.
Obviously, it took a long time for these documents to come out.
This conclusion can only be reached when the aristocratic faction and the imperial faction agree with each other.
There are many procedures that need to be done before these documents are passed.
It was a speed that Perian’s head could not comprehend.
Of course, the reason I was able to come out so quickly was because of the many things I had accumulated over the years.
Luna and the chief mage prepared the documents themselves and handed them over to Ian and Lie, and Ian and Lie had negotiated prior to the meeting.
The two heads of the Imperial faction and the Nobility faction shared the same opinion at the meeting, and the nobles below them merely followed their wishes.
So, when the will of the emperor and the nobility were merged, everything went smoothly.
There was no time wasted, and the documents were processed quickly according to the documents, so I went through all the procedures at an unbelievable speed.
Perian could not foresee such an abnormal situation.
“Ugh… … . Ian Astria!!!”
Ferian stood up and shouted at Ian.
Ian held out handcuffs to Ferian with a dazed expression.
“I am here now as a special investigator. Have an example.”
“Do you think you will be able to succeed Gaju? What would happen if I opened my mouth to other nobles?”
“My father is now a suspect. No one in the Empire will listen to such a man.”
Ian answered firmly.
Perian laughed at Ian like that.
“Did you think that you could survive politically by sticking with the Emperors? You’ll just be a dog chasing chickens. Abandoned by them… … .”
shudder-
“Come on, criminal, shut your mouth. They are also slowly proceeding with the investigation. Are you going to keep chatting?”
Rie handcuffed Ferian in front of her and smiled.
“haha… … . Princess, do you think I will end like this? Do you think this will pass quietly? You guys have made a mistake.”
“Yes Yes. Okay. You go to jail and talk about the rest.”
Rie dragged such Perian along.
Ian wiped his mouth as he looked at Perian’s back.
Rudy walked up from behind Ian, who was standing there.
Rudy was there as well, who came to search the Astrian mansion.
“Isn’t this almost over?”
“No, it would have ended sooner if it had ended like this. The problem is now.”
“From now on?”
Rudy tilted her head with a puzzled face.
“We also captured the spirit wizards, and we also caught the wizards who were making magic tools. Could there be more here?”
“It’s a problem because you don’t know that.”
“her… … .”
Rudy made a strange expression.
“He is a man whom no one trusts. Cutting around doesn’t mean much. It’s not over unless we uproot the roots.”
“Hmm… … .”
Rudy wondered if that person was the root, but Ian only knew him better than himself, so he just nodded.
“Then what will you do now?”
“First, we should find something like the material in the mansion. By the way… … .”
Ian pointed forward.
“Why is it like this?”
“… … Isn’t that what your father broke? When you get angry all of a sudden, don’t you break things like walls?”
The place Ian was pointing to was the safe in the study.
broken wall.
It was the wall Rudy had broken.
Although it has been almost repaired, traces of it still remain.
“If you break the wall, it will be used… … . tt.”
Rudy just clicked his tongue and took it off.
***
Imperial Palace, conference room.
“Ian Astria, Lee. Have you been?”
Ian and Li, the emperor was in front of them.
It was a meeting where only the emperor, the prime minister, and a few other high-ranking officials of the empire had gathered.
“Yes, we have collected all the documents and evidence we had hidden in the mansion.”
“Yeah, well done. Ian Astria, thank you very much for taking the lead and doing things even if your father was an opponent.”
“no.”
“So, what about the materials that came out?”
“There was no solid evidence. Most of the letters were made up of words, and there was no material related to necromancy magic and the Astrian family.”
“… … Didn’t you?”
Upon hearing Ian’s report, the emperor widened his eyes and looked at Li.
“It is true.”
“Then, isn’t Perian innocent?”
“First of all, there is a letter sent by the spirit wizards directly yesterday. It is a letter of their sins and that of Perian.”
“Isn’t it difficult to say that that is conclusive evidence?”
“Yeah, I still have a reason to hold on to it. And, the most important thing right now is not to grab conclusive evidence. We must take the weapon that Perian has.”
“weapon?”
Ian had seen the weapon Perian had.
“A mana stone made by the spirit wizards. We must collect the one containing the strongest mana.”
Finding that mana stone was the most important thing.
If done wrong, it was a weapon that could blow away the capital itself, and the mana stone was the center of what Perian was decorating.
“Then how are you going to find those mana stones? I searched the mansion and searched the place where the spirit wizards were, but nothing came up.”
Ian replied to this.
“Space magic.”
“… … Space magic?”
“Perhaps important materials were stored in this space created by space magic.”
“It’s this space… … . Then can you open this space?”
“That is impossible.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“I can’t open it right now, but… … .”
Ian raised an eyebrow.
“If the person who created this space opens it up, the words will be different.”
***
The Empire’s Dungeon.
‘Ian boy… … . betray me?’
Perian was grinding his teeth there.
‘You will all kneel before me. all.’
There was another reason why Perian was so docilely caught.
Perian was able to rebel when Lie and Ian came to arrest him.
If they used space magic or other magic, they could get out of their hands for a while.
Even so, the reason he stayed still was that he could proceed with the task even if he was captured here.
Rather than defying them and injuring themselves, it was better to be caught and wasted time.
“Keek!”
At that time, there was a person who fell in front of Perian and entered the prison.
That person was Perian’s subordinate and a high-ranking wizard who made amplifiers.
“… … Why are you here?”
“Pe, Perian?”
The high-ranking wizard widened his eyes when he saw the perian who was imprisoned in the opposite prison.
“I asked why are you here.”
“Sorry, I’m sorry. As soon as Perian-sama left, some guy attacked me.”
“What kind of guy?”
“that… … He was the same blonde guy as Perian. As soon as Perian-sama disappeared, he suddenly appeared… … .”
‘As soon as I’m gone?’
“Tell me more.”
“After Perian-sama left, I felt a sense of popularity in the room I used to use. So I thought he might have come back, but he suddenly came out of there.”
That means using space magic.
Perian narrowed his brow.
If you use space magic and are blonde.
‘Ian Astria… … .’
Were you still watching?
I couldn’t even imagine when the guy started planning to betray him.
Ian must have been there at the gates of the capital, but how the hell did he follow up with space magic? Too many questions ran through Perian’s mind.
Before resolving these questions, when he saw the high-ranking wizard’s face, he suddenly had a surprised expression on his face.
“then… … Where did the amplifier go? If you are here, the amplifier is… … ?”
“… … They stole it.”
“… … what? So where are you now?”
“I know what brought you here, but… … I don’t know the details.”
“You brought it here?”
This is the imperial dungeon.
Amplifier here… … .
Are you here as evidence?
If you’re a guy, you’ve probably already noticed that it’s an amplifier.
I also showed Ian a mana stone made with spirit magic, so he must have figured out his intentions.
The strange thing is that such an amplifier hasn’t been broken to this day.
If it’s normal judgment, you should break the amplifier as soon as you find it.
“Hmm… … .”
Perian patted his chin.
There’s a lot in that amplifier.
It is an amplifier that contains the essence of magic tools deeply.
If you put your own magic tools in it, domination of the empire was not a dream.
Is Ian being greedy?
This was the most likely conjecture.
‘Then Ian must be looking for mana stones… … .’
However, even if you look for it, you will never find it.
First of all, Ian won’t be able to find it.
‘If the amplifier is here… … . You have to make a gap. And then, we get the amplifier back.’
Without him, it’s easy to get away from here.
There’s no way other guys can chase after space magic.
Perian stared intently at the high-ranking wizard in front of him.
“Wow, what are you doing?”
“Hmm… … . I can use you.”
“… … yes?”
Ferian touched the handcuffs a few times and reached out to the high wizard in front of him.
“You will die for me, so know it as an honor.”
“Hey, what… … .”
Perian reached out and smiled.
