The start of the counterattack
Leon took the blueprint and went to Mary Goldberg.
“…what the hell is this?”
“The tower of truth, the blueprint of Veritas.”
“I can only see magic circles in my eyes?”
“I can design the material and structure of a building, but it is better to leave the design to a professional.”
“So, why did you bring it to me?”
“I was afraid that your family would not be as knowledgeable in architecture as they run the top.”
“No, we are not that top, but…….”
It’s true that they have a good relationship with the builder, so Mary looked at Leon’s blueprint again.
The formulas that make my eyes dizzy and the runes I’ve seen for the first time in my life make my head ache.
“What the hell is this?”
“You’re the second question like that.”
“But again, I don’t know.”
“An automatic sterilization and air purification system using plasma, an air circulation system, a heating system that warms the floor to keep the warmth rising to the ceiling, a cooling system that blows cold air from the ceiling, a magic sphere engraved with light magic, A magic circle for creating drinking water, a hot water system to heat the water, a refrigeration and freezing system for storing food, an oven-type magic circle for cooks to cook, a microwave oven that simply heats food using electromagnetic waves, a soundproofing system, and the building’s We plan to build a structural reinforcement magic circle, a fortress system that automatically intercepts enemies, a facility system that can be used for various research, an internal communication system, and a communication system that allows long-distance communication with an external branch to be built in another country by launching a magic satellite later. hey.”
Mary’s eyes widened at Leon’s answer.
“Do you know how many mana stones you need for this? Of course, I know that the assets you have accumulated over the years are considerable, but in order to maintain the magical power consumed in this structure, no matter how much your fortune is, wouldn’t it be enough?”
“So, we’re going to build a system that recharges our own mana by turning the whole building into mana stones.”
“what······?”
Mary couldn’t keep her mouth wide open.
What did this genius say now?
“You are right. I plan to turn Veritas into a factory that can recharge its own magic and produce magic stones.”
“… you’re producing magic stones?”
I felt it during the development of Pure Potion, but Leon was like a person living in a world different from that of Mary.
Why don’t we achieve what everyone says is impossible as if it were too natural?
But Mary was able to come to her senses quickly.
Leon is amazing because it didn’t happen in a day or two.
“What is the cost of producing Mana Stones?”
“I need a pure lint crystal. Other than that, if you install a semi-permanent magic circle that has a magic charge function, you can automatically recharge it.”
Lint is a new concept material developed by Leon, and only Angelica, a magician directly under Leon, could produce it.
She knew it well because Mary was in charge of the distribution and sales of weapons that were processed and made by Miners.
“Isn’t that more expensive than a magic stone?”
“So far it has been.”
But it will be different from now on.
Leon absorbed the extended and created a magical resonance of the awakened earth element.
Genesis’s magic, a new magical system that mixes the two concepts of destruction and creation.
There, with the power of nightmares, the soul is squeezed and processed into matter.
“Creating Lint.”
The crystalline material that spirals out from Leon’s palm is mixed with each other and becomes a single crystal.
Thus, the pure lint crystal was created.
“Until now, only Angelica, who can handle microorganisms through slime, could make lint, so the price had to be high. No matter how high the demand, there is not enough supply. But now I can make lints too.”
It’s not just that.
Even if Angelica could make a lint, the shape couldn’t be this perfect.
The soul material of vacancy is processed in the form of nanotubes, but due to the limitations of its structure, the length has to be shortened in nano units, and in the end, the lint made by Angelica is made in the form of powder.
Until now, it was common to use green dust mixed with metal.
But Leon woven it entirely in the form of crystals.
A crystal made of pure soul matter only.
“Wait a minute, what did you say? Are you going to lint the entire structure of Veritas?”
The second shock to Mary was its scale.
“Is this lint crystal something that can be mass-produced like that?”
“Right now, this crystal is made using the mental waves emitted from my nervous system, but it can be made into a form that reprocesses vacancies.”
It’s ridiculous.
Now, Leon’s remarks were a story that changed the shape of the world itself.
Vacant, cheap crystal with depleted magic power.
There are so many vacancies in this world that they literally hit your feet.
Could it be reprocessed to use the magic power as a permanent, rechargeable energy source?
“So, I want you to hire alchemists in a special form to install this magic circle in the tower. I divided the work into each so that I couldn’t understand the overall shape of the magic circle on my own. Of course, I will engrave the essential parts, but I hope that this technology is not leaked outside as much as possible.”
“That’s normal.”
As Mary answered that, she could feel the cold sweat running down her spine.
“therefore? What about lint crystals produced by Veritas?”
“You have to sell it.”
“Are you going to sell it?”
If the crystal, the knowledge to enjoy infinite magical power, and the truth were completely monopolized and enjoyed, the power of Veritas would be at a level that no one dared to surpass.
To sell it means to share that power with the world.
“We, Veritas, decided to pursue the public good. Above all, the only facility that can recharge the lint crystal even if it is sold is Veritas, where the magic circle is engraved. We can make a huge profit just by charging the magical power of the lint crystal for a certain cost.”
Is that all?
Citizens who enjoy the convenience of cheap mana stones will depend on Veritas.
Everyone will praise Veritas, and the public opinion will give Veritas more power than monopolizing the Lint Crystal.
Above all, when Leon’s awareness improves, his faith builds up.
It meant that the feeling of gratitude that you feel whenever you enjoy the grace of the Mana Stone becomes Leon’s strength as it is.
“That is the reason I came to you. I wanted you to take charge of the distribution and sales of lint crystals yourself.”
“Anyway, you…”
Mary lost her mind, but as expected, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly at the thought of being Leon.
“Just leave it to me. If I am a business that benefits the world widely, I will risk my life.”
* * *
Construction work on Veritas has begun.
An empty lot in the middle of the royal road.
A large number of workers gathered at the key point forming the triangle with the royal castle and the national school, Philo Academy, and began to build buildings.
However, the construction style was different from the existing ones, so the workers were having a lot of trouble.
To build a building by erecting reinforcing bars with lint steel, which is usually used as a material for the highest quality weapons, and hardening the surrounding area with concrete mixed with lint.
If it was an ordinary worker, the corruption of extorting materials might have occurred.
But these workers are trustworthy builders that Mary has saved.
Above all, the workers who built Veritas were building buildings with their own pride.
You’ve already seen the blueprint.
Considering the structure, performance, and every aspect of the building, it was a better structure than any other building they had ever built.
Perhaps even more so than any other building that existed in the history of Philo Kingdom.
And the praise that will be poured out toward Veritas in the future will also be attributed to the builders who built the building.
And there were a lot of alchemists around.
It was their job to engrave an unknown magic circle on the hardened concrete under Mary’s leadership.
The new type of runes that did not exist before made it impossible for them to know what function they had, but nevertheless, they were skillfully engraving the magic circle exactly as drawn in the design.
Looking at the work, Leon organized his thoughts.
‘Next is the recruitment of the wizard.’
The people who will belong to Veritas have already been decided.
War refugees, half-demons contaminated with magic.
The situation of the beasts is also urgent, but now there is a limit on the number of wizards who can belong to Veritas, so I was thinking of taking them as the top priority and accepting them as the disciples of Magic Tower.
‘Then I’ll have to go to the battlefield….’
Currently, the only war going on in the Philo Kingdom was the battle for the beast kingdom.
The raid on the royal capital, which should have taken place, was solved by Leon a year earlier, and the situation of the war was greatly twisted while performing other activities.
Right now, the underworld is busy refining the interior that has been ruined by the loss of giants such as Mosqueer Queen, Grand Duke Adobis, Iron-Blooded Swordsman Xenoside, and Death Lord.
Thanks to this, various wars that should have taken place in the Philo Kingdom were tumultuous, and the war in the Beast Kingdom was intensifying.
‘In the end, do you have no choice but to participate in the battle for the beast kingdom?’
Not a bad choice.
Because there are not only beauties in the beast kingdom.
Surely there will be refugees among the beast people who are tainted with magic and become half demons.
However, there was one disappointment that Leon wanted to use as much as possible a half-demon of a pure-blood human.
The reason for the anti-humanism of the beast people is that they are so far away from humans that even if they change their perception, it will be difficult to bring about a change in the deeply entrenched humanism of the Philo Kingdom.
Above all else, the reason Leon has not participated in the battle for the Beast Kingdom until now was because the Farostel mage family was silent about the war.
Leon’s status was close to the 8th circle.
Now, the time to challenge the authority of the Marquise of Parostel, Marquis Melit Flair, the master of the Parostel magic family is not far off.
However, in order to get that challenge, you must first raise the succession rank from 3rd to 1st.
So, if the 2nd or 1st ranks participate in the war, they go to the battlefield with them and try to raise the succession ranks by accumulating merit, but they are not showing any movement.
When Leon was hesitating to participate in the war to seize the beast kingdom, the movement of the Parostel magic family was finally caught.
“It is said that Steve Parostel, who is ranked second in the ranks, will participate in the conquest of the southern part of the continent.”
“Conquest of the southern part of the continent?”
Leon couldn’t help but be surprised.
Is this the story of an attempt to invade the South directly from Philo Kingdom to reclaim the southern part of the continent, which has now become the land of perfect demons?
This is an event that did not happen before the return.
Even so, there were cases in which the demons invaded the North while eroding the borders of the Philo Kingdom, but the opposite was almost impossible.
However, it seemed that the situation in the Demon Realm was more serious than Leon had imagined.
It was none other than the King of Philo Kingdom, Fairne Negil Philost who allowed that war.
From the experience of meeting him in person and experiencing his personality, he wasn’t stupid enough to allow an improbable war.
“Is this the beginning of a counterattack?”
It is interesting.
In the past, Leon suffered defeat in numerous wars and was busy running away.
But the chance to get revenge has finally come.
“Tell the family. Count Leon Farostel Veritas will participate in the conquest of the southern part of the continent.”
Now it was the turn of the demons to run away from Leon.
