Brilliant Royal Castle, King’s Bedroom.
Someone knocks on the door that was firmly closed.
The doorknob turned and Morgan came out of the room and blocked the way from inside.
“We will conduct a body search.”
“… … Please do so.”
Alan surrenders himself with a stern face. Louise could also enter the room only after raising both arms and checking to see if she was hiding anything.
Hwii profit.
When I opened the door, a lonely wind blew through the window. A very simple room. This is the interior of the room that represents King Maurice’s usual personality.
“father.”
“Please don’t come any closer.”
Just when Louise was about to grab Maurice’s hand as he lay down, Morgan stopped her.
“… … Lord Morgan.”
Complex emotions contained in that single word. Although she understood the situation as it was, Louise felt bitter at the fact that Morgan was wary of her.
“… … “Me too?”
“yes.”
With a thick arm blocking his path, Alan clicks his tongue and looks at Morgan.
“why? “The last thing I want is for His Majesty to die.”
Since the King is still alive, he cannot decide who will inherit the throne next, but when Maurice dies, he must immediately decide who will inherit the throne, either Allan or Louise.
In terms of seniority, it is correct that Alan sits on the throne, but when did Brillant decide on kings by age?
Currently, the entire kingdom is united around Ren Argen. Not only the Travis family, which boasts the strongest power, but even Arjen supports Ren.
The same goes for the Rogers family, which supported Lev, and the middle-class Kar family.
When it comes to the person with the greatest power in the kingdom, virtually anyone will think of Ren Argen.
A master-level swordsman and an unsalable genius. By protecting Ein Bayer, he is already called a great hero in the North for protecting the North, and the Kingdom of Rosaria also views him very favorably. Recently, he even caught the devil and gained the trust of Cardinal Aston Cash.
All of this happened in just one year. And for some reason, Len Argen is supporting Ruiz.
‘sh*t… … .’
In this situation, even if Allan causes the king to die, will the power come to him?
Alan was reluctant to say this out loud, so he closed his mouth and took a slight step back.
“Just in case.”
“How can we harm you when Lord Morgan is here?”
Morgan’s expression hardened at Louise’s question.
“… … “Your Majesty ended up like this because I couldn’t protect you.”
“If my father dies… … . Who will Lord Morgan support?”
Morgan calmed his eyes at Alan’s sudden question. Louise also slowly turns her gaze to look at Morgan as if she is curious about the answer.
“… “How are you going to bear the weight of that responsibility?”
“We will support the person who will create the ideal kingdom that His Majesty so desperately desires.”
“… … That is enough.”
Alan, who was tilting his head as if he had heard a satisfactory answer, turned and made eye contact with Louise.
“It is the ability to draw the future of the kingdom… … . That’s right. “It must be so for the sake of the kingdom.”
Then he spoke as if he was talking to himself and walked out of the room.

Red Pill’s Full Gather branch office.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Scylla Sanjangju was so preoccupied with the huge pile of documents that he did not hear the knock.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
The knocking sound is heard once again. When she doesn’t hear this time, the door bursts open. The sunlight coming in from the window reflected on the bald head that invaded from nowhere, stinging Scylla’s eyes.
“damn! what!”
“You knocked, right?”
“Can’t you see this? “I’m completely out of my mind!”
She roughly brushed her orange hair, frowned, and slammed the documents on the table. I put it.
“Sit there. “Right now, I need to cool off for a moment.”
She called an employee to bring tea and sank down on the sofa.
After a while, the employee brought out the tea, and Acro savored the tea and took out a bundle of documents.
“Ha, you take care of that, right?”
“It’s important.”
“also? What?”
“The royal statue depicting the face of the Pope of the Holy Kingdom was damaged during transportation. “Because of Arcane’s mistake.”
“what? “How on earth are these bastards running the business?”
This time, as Arcane collapsed and devoured their pie, the size of Full Gather grew rapidly, but the price was also high.
Arcane’s work had to be handled by Full Gather, and they had to bear the consequences.
If you manage all of those things properly in a full gather, you will be reborn as a completely large merchant, but if you lack capabilities, you may end up in trouble.
Full Gather was currently going through that transition period.
“This seems to be the biggest problem right now. It appears that Arcane has been delaying the timing by secretly lobbying the Holy Kingdom, and it seems he has been looking for a sculptor in the meantime.”
“I’m going back. Eloy, that bastard is locked up in the Red Pill now, right? Go find him right now and punch him in the face… … !”
“Calm down, calm down.”
Acro stopped Scylla, who suddenly stood up.
“Anyway, I think we need to buy some time by investing money.”
“I picked up a lot from Arcane this time, so I guess I’ll just have to stick with it for now.”
“yes. The engraver also needs to be contacted quickly. “As a person with good skills.”
“No matter how much money is spent, recruit them first. Ha, but all the good sculptors are in the empire, right?”
“I know there are some in Rosaria, but I think it will take some time.”
“Tsk. “I don’t know if the Pope of the Holy Kingdom would make a fuss about us because the statue is missing.”
“We will solve it somehow.”
“okay.”
Scylla seemed to be feeling stuffy and poured hot tea into her mouth all at once.
“But I also need to thank Ren, but I couldn’t even talk to him properly because I was busy sorting things out with Arcane.”
“That’s right. It’ll be sorted out to some extent in a few more days, so I’ll have to stop by Brilliant then. “I have some work to do there, so you can go to Ark.”
“All right.”
“While I was there, I asked around to see if there was a good engraver there.”
“Is there a sculptor in Brillant?”
“You never know. “Luck usually comes from unexpected places.”
“All right.”
* * *
“Huh… … . “Okay, let’s take a short break.”
[The decree is released.]
I feel dizzy. As I lie down on the grass, Gemma is above me, looking at me with a smile.
– Still holding up better than expected?
“… … “It feels like I’m receiving torture training.”
A feeling as if my whole body was being cut to pieces. It feels as if the skin is being sliced open and cut to carve a path for magical energy to flow through.
It was so painful that I wondered if this was how the statues would have felt if they were alive.
“Hey, you’re okay, though. In the past, most of those who experienced Gemma’s sculpting technique fainted as soon as they started. “That’s because you have the physical ability to support it now.”
Potter says with a grin next to him.
– What are you talking about? This is also because this guy has no magic power, so I used my energy to create a path. If only I could use magical power, it wouldn’t be like this.
“That’s it. “The difference between being sick enough to die and barely dying?”
– Isn’t that a huge step forward?
From Noble mtl dot com
Beside him, Potter and Gemma talk endlessly. I couldn’t hear their conversation clearly. My whole body is still throbbing, and I’m dizzy that I have to do this for the next two weeks.
– Still, if you carve a mana rod into this guy’s body and fill it with magic, it’s easy from then on. I just need to teach him sculpting, right? Then, you can use all your magic and energy when sculpting other guys.
[Subquest – Gemma’s Sculpture II]
[In order to learn Gemma’s sculpting skills, you must be able to control energy and magic at the same time. Use your energy and magic to sculpt a masterpiece.]
[Reward – Yin-Yang Sculpting]
A quest that suddenly comes to mind. Little by little, the quest ignites a spark in my heart that makes me want to give up.
If this happens, you can’t give up, right?
“Then, like Gemma, can I change people’s constitutions and cure their incurable diseases through sculpting?”
– yes. This is something only I can do. Know with glory.
I nodded. Yes, you can’t miss this incredible opportunity just because of a moment’s pain.
– Then shall we start again?
“yes.”
Having recovered to some extent, I forgot my previous memories and commanded Gemma again.
[Code – Gemma]
Gemma, who came into my body, naturally moves her energy and begins to cause damage to my body little by little.
And then a crazy pain that I had forgotten for a moment came.
“Kwaaah… … !”
“Quiet!”
The sculpting began, going back and forth between screaming and pounding, like a person with a mental breakdown.
So I regretted my choice a little while ago.

A tavern in the Kingdom of Rosaria. Late in the evening, the door to a noisy bar opens and a man roughly places a sword next to the table and orders a beer.
People’s attention is focused on the man. He was tall, had a bushy beard, hair that looked unmaintained, and even had a musty smell.
There were some people who frowned in discomfort, but no one approached him and started an argument.
“Here you go.”
He took the beer, took a big sip, closed his eyes, and opened his ears. Those who quickly lose interest in the man begin their own conversation.
“This time I’m going 1:5 with a group of orcs… … .”
“Do you know that the atmosphere in the kingdom is ugly these days? actually… … .”
“Thanks to the massive support poured into the North, it is recovering faster than expected… … .”
The man was motionless as if he were sleeping, but in fact, the reason he came here was to obtain information through rumors circulating in people’s rooms.
“I know that? “The great hero who protected the North this time is from Arjen?”
“okay? Why did Arjen protect the North?”
“No one really knows this, so only you know. I heard from someone I know in Brilliant that he was kicked out of Argen when he was young. So, I’m playing Brilliant’s gravedigger… … .”
The giant man’s ears perk up at the interesting story.
‘You were kicked out of Argen? Someone like that killed that monster?’
The reason the giant came to the Kingdom of Rosaria was to see the corpse of Tyrant, who attacked the north.
The kind of person that can be felt even after a long time has passed. If he were alive, would he have been able to kill him? It was not easy to be sure.
“They say he is a genius who is not famous for being famous. I know how to do archery, swordsmanship, and how to talk about animals… … . Anyway, he said nothing happened because of his intervention. “I heard it’s almost a symbol of success in Brilliant?”
The rumors about Ren rolled and rolled without him knowing, and before he knew it, the snowball was growing as big as a house.
“okay? After all, does one have to be at that level to become a great hero of the North?”
The man who had been telling a story eagerly started talking even harder, as if he was excited by the reaction of the woman sitting across from him.
“No one really knows, but only you know. “They say Ren Argen can actually use magic.”
“really?”
“okay! The reason I am a gravedigger is actually to obtain the inheritance of that place… … .”
At that time, several grumpy mercenaries sit down at the table where they are busy chatting.
“What story is so funny? “Shall we listen to it together?”
The large man who was listening to the conversation at the table hardened his expression, opened his eyes, and stood up.
“Why are you like this? “We don’t have anything to talk about with that side, do we?”
The woman screamed at the mercenaries and tried to get up, but the mercenaries grabbed her arms and made her sit back down.
“No, don’t do that… Oooh!”
Whoop – Boom!
The giant grabbed the hair of the mercenary who was holding the woman’s arm and threw him against the wall.
“aaah!”
“There’s a fight over there!”
“Owner!”
A tavern that suddenly became chaotic. Perhaps because of the commotion that often happens in bars, the managers there quickly came out and stopped them.
“Oh my gosh, please calm down.”
“I have no intention of making a fuss. “Don’t worry, I’ll just get rid of these idiots.”
“what? fool? “You bastard!”
The mercenary’s colleague who flew away took out a dagger from his chest and threw it out. However, the man snorted at his clumsy handling, snatched his wrist, twisted it, and threw him to the floor.
“go away.”
The mercenaries realize the difference in their opponents’ skills and quickly run away. The manager of the bar sensed that the man’s skills were unusual and did not question him about the vandalism.
All they can do is catch the mercenaries, who are all in tatters, and demand that they pay for the repairs.
After receiving thanks from the man and woman sitting at the table, Geohan quietly sat down at the table.
“Why, why are you doing that? uh… , we should at least buy you a drink as a thank you… … .”
“Okay, just keep talking about what you were talking about earlier.”
“What were you talking about earlier?”
“So, what about Ren Argen? “I heard he also knows how to do medicine?”
