I’ll give you this
The 5th tower of the Philo Kingdom, Veritas, was officially approved by the king.
And in the form of a reward for subjugating the unknown demon king, the support fee for the construction of the demon tower, along with the land and title within the royal capital where the demon tower can be built.
The original position of the master of the tower is a position to protect the country by leading the wizards belonging to the tower.
No matter how different Veritas was from the existing mage tower, King Fairn explained that he could not make a person of low status sit in the position of mage tower.
Thus, the given name was Count Veritas.
It was to inherit the Veritas that Leon named after the tower.
Leon Farostel Veritas.
Originally, the name of the family where Leon was born was changed to the middle name, and Leon became the first head of the Count Veritas family.
“It’s been fun.”
However, this does not mean that Leon has lost the right to inherit the Marquis Parostel family.
Leon has now become an official aristocrat with the title of Count, but it is undeniable that he was born in the Farostel family, and above all else, because he was a higher rank of marquis than Count.
So, what will happen if Leon becomes the owner of the Marquise of Parostel?
Nevertheless, Leon’s name is still Leon Farostel Veritas.
The Marquis family of Parostel was changed to the Marquis family of Veritas.
Even for that reason, if it is normal, the moment you get the title and surname, the right to inherit the family will be deprived.
Nobles, who value the traditions of noble families, cannot accept the deprivation of tradition where the names of the families they serve are changed.
However, the Marquise of Parostel is different.
The will of Marquis Mellit Flair Farostel that heir ranks only with skill, and that those with talent enjoy authority will not change now.
“The problem is the construction cost of the tower…”
The subsidy that King Fairn bestowed on Leon is by no means insufficient.
It would be possible to build a tower equivalent to the existing four great towers with that money, even without robbing Leon’s private money.
But Leon had no intention of being satisfied with that.
Constructing the best tower that is different from the existing magic towers.
Instead of stacking bricks and magically strengthening them, they build modern skyscrapers and buildings.
Concrete and aesthetically pleasing to look at, I was thinking of making a glass wall so that the wizards belonging to the tower can get a psychological openness when they are locked in the tower and do research.
But nevertheless, the building must be sturdy.
“hearthstone. It is to make a window made of magic stone.”
The energy to be supplied for the operation of the tower’s defense facilities, accommodation facilities, and laboratory is designed in such a way that mana is supplied from the tower itself.
It makes lint steel as a steel frame, mixes lint with concrete to increase durability, and surrounds the exterior wall with crystal windows made of pure lint.
The problem was that Manastone and Lint were made of the same material, but their characteristics were very different.
Manastones only store mana and are easy to use, but the lint that Leon has made so far was in a form that could not store mana using empty stones that had depleted mana.
“Then modify the lint.”
Bondi Lint has a property of smoothing the flow of magic, but it is to transform its structure into a form that can contain, that is, store magic by modifying its structure.
This was the long-cherished dream of the alchemists.
Manastones are minerals that can only be obtained from the body of creatures such as monsters.
It never occurs naturally, and it has not been clarified why such a thing is created in the body of a monster.
But Leon already knows.
Magic is a substance that only interacts with ‘special mental waves’.
Manastones that can trap magical power are substances made up of the souls of demons.
Besides, Leon was tainted with magic and immediately before he was reincarnated into a binary form, he turned himself into a monster and felt it himself.
depravity of the soul.
A phenomenon in which something that makes up the soul condenses and changes into another form.
Manastones made in this way act like a circle for demons.
Instead of rotating the magical power to synchronize it with the mental wave, the magic power is trapped in the crystals made from the mental wave, forcibly accumulated and used whenever necessary.
However, the strange thing was that no matter how much magical power a monster consumes, it can recover after a certain amount of time, but the mana stones collected from the monster are consumables.
Once you use your magic power, you’re done.
Manastones that have been depleted of mana become simple crystals.
Of course, the created vacancy was also a very important material for creating artifacts for alchemists as a material that transmits magic well, but that’s what the alchemists thought.
If a manastone is an object that can be reused by charging mana within the body of a monster, it would be possible to use the manastone for recharging with alchemy.
Even now, many magic towers on the continent were researching with their heads wrapped around their heads in order to recharge and reuse manastones, but at least so far, there has been no case of success.
If that is possible, there will be a technological revolution in this world.
Hearthstone is a very expensive fuel.
It is a rare item that only a very rare part of the monsters that have been subjugated with difficulty subjugating dangerous monsters have in their body.
Didn’t Leon also experience it in the attic?
Manastone was used to operate the heater made of artifacts, but it was too expensive for the standard of living of commoners and the amount of energy was too small.
However, if manastones can be charged with mana, and if the means are economical, commoners will be able to purchase manastones cheaply, light their houses with them, and drive away the cold.
Of course, the problem was the means, but
“It might be possible now.”
Leon possessed the power of nightmares by absorbing the horns of Beatson, who became a demon, and was able to manipulate his soul in the form of hypnosis for himself.
With that ability, the spirit wave of the monster is reproduced.
It was something only Leon, who had become a monster himself, was able to do.
If it were possible to process it again in the form of runes, the manastone that had been emptied of mana would receive mana again.
After graduating from the academy, Leon started working hard on research by leaving the alchemy studio set up in the villa of the royal capital.
For Olivia, who came to the Philo Kingdom on purpose to be with Leon, it was really frustrating.
It was only when I went to the academy that I could understand why it was not possible to go out freely, but I did not know that it would be so difficult to meet face to face after graduating from the academy.
What bothered Olivia above all else was the news of Leon’s engagement.
Of course, most countries in this world are polygamous.
Olivia, as a princess of the Empire, did not have a big prejudice against a man having multiple wives.
However, Olivia and Leon’s engagement was fake.
A political move for Leon, who is only an outsider, to intervene in the power struggle of the Millennium Empire.
For now, Olivia is desperately trying to impersonate her fiancée, but Leon will one day get rid of Olivia.
“…why the hell is my life like this?”
Even today, I visited the villa to meet Leon, but Olivia shed a single lament at Leon’s consistent attitude with only silent answers.
A fake princess, a fake Yongin tribe, a fake fiancee.
Her life was all fake.
If there is only one real thing among them, maybe it is this heart for Leon, isn’t it?
He clings to the real thing and follows Leon, and tries to change Leon’s heart to make the fake fiance’s position real, but even that chance will not be given properly.
Grief was one of the most inappropriate emotions for her, but since meeting Leon, it always seemed to happen.
Why should she, the imperial princess, be jealous of one maid?
Why is she, the imperial princess, sighing alone because she can’t meet a man?
“Princess.”
A voice called Olivia from outside the door.
He was probably one of the escorts who followed Olivia.
“···What’s up? Would you have told me to leave you alone for a while?”
Maybe it was because I was depressed, but for nothing, a nervous voice came out.
However, the escort officer, who was accustomed to Olivia’s sensitive nature, was not discouraged by it and spoke straight to the point.
He had known from experience for a long time that Olivia’s nerves could be sharpened if the reply was delayed just because he was careful.
“The news is that Count Leon has broken his hiding place and has come out of his studio.”
Bump!
“Is that true?!”
The escort was taken by surprise.
Olivia, who always has a laid-back attitude, has never been so desperate.
Not only that, but Olivia’s face flushed red with reminders, and she looked like a little girl in love.
it’s love
That Princess Olivia is love.
“Yes. And Count Leon is requesting a visit with Princess Olivia.”
And Olivia’s expression quickly darkened.
There was only one reason why Leon wanted to meet him.
“no way······.”
Are you talking about breaking the engagement?
I haven’t done anything yet?
It’s not a fake engagement with myself, and I thought it might feel heavy to keep hanging Olivia on the same yard until the real engagement.
Now, you’re really trying to get in the way, and you’re trying to say that you can’t be your fiancé anymore.
“Wait for a moment. I will prepare to go out.”
But that’s it, and since we haven’t seen each other in a long time, I don’t want Leon to find out about my depressed feelings.
Even if he didn’t, he knew that Leon wasn’t attracted to him, but he didn’t want to make him think that he was a dark woman.
I wanted to make it look as bright and beautiful as possible to show Leon well until the very end.
And if possible, I wanted to make Leon for abandoning him regret it.
But Leon, whom he had not seen in a long time, tilted his head at Olivia’s outfit.
“What day is it today? Did you call me to go to a social church somewhere?”
“···no. It’s just everyday wear.”
Maybe it’s because they haven’t seen each other in a long time, or maybe it’s because they don’t know how they feel about meeting Leon?
The conversation just became stiff.Read at noblemtl.com
Just like when we first met.
Rather than narrowing the distance between them, I felt gloomy again at the thought that they were the same as when we first met.
“Look at this rather than that. what do you think about it?”
And Leon was smiling more brightly at the bright red jewel on the table than Olivia’s.
Perhaps Leon felt that jewel more attractive than Olivia’s figure.
“what is that?”
Because all his nerves were focused on Leon, he realized the jewel’s existence belatedly.
And Olivia’s eyes widened slightly as she checked the jewel.
“Dragon Heart?”
“okay. Can you see it in your eyes?”
“What does that mean? Are you sure it’s not Dragon Heart?”
Leon nodded at Olivia’s question.
“Did you know that I was doing research in my studio recently? This is the result of that study.”
It was an artificial dragon heart created by Leon.
A self-rechargeable manastone that has been carefully carved from pure lint crystal and engraved with detailed runes on the surface.
“I’ll give you this.”
“What······?”
“I made it for you. did I say it before? The moment the Dragon Heart’s magical power runs out, your life span ends there. so i made it An infinite dragon heart that never runs out of magic. While examining your body, I already knew your mental frequency, so it was specially made for the shape of your soul. I’m sure it’ll fit your soul too, so don’t worry.”
At those words, Olivia’s heart pounded and jumped.
I thought you were just calling me to drop my engagement and to abandon myself, but what I’ve been working on for so long is my heart?
The heart that Leon, who he thought had no interest in himself, made for himself.
With the heart-shaped red jewel in her hand, Olivia finally burst into tears that she had been holding back.
“Really, really, thank you…….”
But Leon, not knowing the meaning of those tears, just smiled happily.
I just think that Olivia’s heartache was severe because of the limit of her lifespan caused by Dragon Heart.
I shed tears because of breaking the limit of that lifespan.
It was frustrating to see Leon like that, but Olivia laughed.
shed tears and laughed.
At least it was clear that Leon wasn’t interested in him.
“Then I will live for you until the day this heart stops.”
It was a moment when I swore to love him with all my heart and to live for him with the heart I received from him.
