Why not me?
The construction of the Tower of Truth, the Grave Branch of Veritas, has begun.
Builders who had already built Veritas in the royal capital once were able to build branch offices more skillfully and quickly.
This branch will also serve as the lord of the Grave Territory in the future, but Leon has appointed Viscount Donovan Pollach Preszel as the head of this branch.
To the last, Veritas’ headquarters is in the Royal Capital.
If Leon were to take the place of the general manager, he needed someone to manage the Grave Branch here on behalf of Leon, so he chose the most reliable wizard among the people around him to entrust this place.
Originally, this land belonged to the Marquess Pollac in the past, so it must mean a lot to Viscount Pressel.
“Thank you. Leon. I never imagined that I would get my homeland back again while I was alive.”
Preszel squeezed her eyes shut to hold back the tears, but she couldn’t hide the wet corners of her eyes.
“This is just the beginning. Although the land that was stolen by the demons has been recovered, the root cause has not yet been resolved.”
A magic tower that is united with evil habits.
A rotten organization that monopolizes the truth of magic.
As the rotten wounds of this world, the mato tower was exerting its adverse effects on the entire continent.
There is only one way to deal with that rotten wound.
It is to cut out the rotten wounds to prevent further spread.
However, the existing magic tower was now one of the indispensable organizations in this world.
The source of power that enables the human nation to survive as a nation against the demons.
In other words, the magic tower was the arms and legs of mankind.
If all of those arms and legs are cut out without any measures, humanity will not be able to stand up again.
Veritas, the magic tower of truth, is an institution established not only to cut out the existing magic tower, but also to replace the function of the cut out part.
However, the process must be done very carefully.
“okay. This is the beginning.”
Only then did Preszel fold the wrinkles around her eyes and smile.
“So, by the way, this is my view of the future of the Grave Spirits.”
Leon showed Viscount Preszel the blueprint he had prepared beforehand.
“This······.”
“Veritas, the center of the estate, will supply mana to the entire city as a kind of energy supply (power plant), and if desired, we will make it possible to light a fire, use air conditioning, heating, and living convenience facilities without installing a magic stone.”
This was originally a blueprint in the form of extending the convenience facilities installed in the headquarters of Veritas to the entire city.
In other words, the whole city of the Graves was a single tower.
It is to build a civilization on this earth in the modern world, where magic flows instead of electricity.
“If this is realized, everyone from the poor to the aristocracy can be guaranteed a more developed life equally.”
By analogy, all the artifacts up to now were returning to batteries called magic stones.
A refrigerator, a microwave, a light, even a running tap.
Even the supply of those batteries is unstable and the price is never cheap.
Therefore, only those in power who can receive the batteries can enjoy the convenience of the artifact.
However, in the Grave Spirit, anyone from the humble to the noble can enjoy the functions of all artifacts with the push of a button.
Of course, it’s not free.
However, it will be possible for everyone to equally enjoy the blessings of magical power with a tax that is so small that we could not have imagined until now.
If the rumor spreads, everyone will want to enjoy the blessing.
Not only commoners, but also nobles.
The reason this dream-like thing was possible is because of the magic stone recharge magic circle installed in Veritas, the Magic Tower of Truth.
Ask us to build a tower of truth and a branch of Veritas in our territory.
Of course, it was only Leon’s hopeful observation for now, but unless something happens, everything will go as Leon expected.
Leon has already seen the flow in the history of the modern earth.
Civilization spreads incredibly quickly from making human life easier.
It is not much different from being an aristocrat who already enjoys convenience.
Basically, people want to sit when they are standing, when they sit, they want to lie down, and when they lie down they want to sleep.
If the common people are standing, the commoners are sitting, the nobles are lying, the citizens of the Graves are sleeping people.
Even the nobles who are already lying down will not be able to suppress their desire to sleep if they see people sleeping right next to them.
Even if they are nobles, they are the same person, and that is the nature of human beings.
As the Grave Spirit gradually took the shape of the city, the victory news of the Beast Kingdom Diburst was heard.
After reaching the 7th circle, Arya and Leon’s two pupils, Lily and Anna, succeeded in completely reclaiming Diburst and expelling the remaining demon forces.
Of course, that was all thanks to Leon.
For the demons, the occupation of the beast kingdom was nothing more than an incidental element to extend the territory towards the human state.
But since the main camp was being robbed while trying to raise multiplayer, how can we focus on it?
The demons had no choice but to return to their main base one by one in order to fight the conquest of the southern continent, which was constantly moving south, and the kingdom of Suin, which was rapidly falling, was completely in the hands of the kingdom of Philo.
Finally, the Philo Kingdom officially entered into the ranks of the Empire by establishing diplomatic relations with the Beast Kingdom.
And the Marquis of Rothbane asked Leon to be engaged.
Of course, that target was Arya Rothbane.
He told Arya not to be close to Leon at some point, but now he has changed his attitude like flipping a palm, and is passing Arya over to Leon as a doctor of the family, not Arya herself.
It has two meanings.
The first is that the Rothbane mage family, the Water Magic Tower, has begun to recognize that Leon is the real power of the Philo Empire.Read at noblemtl.com
Judging that there is more to be gained from being close to Leon than from feuding with Leon, he attempted to create a political link using Arya, who had a lot of ties with Leon since childhood.
And the second was Arya’s own problem.
Arya reached the level of circle 7 at a very fast pace.
What the Rothbane family had expected of Arya, at a speed that exceeded it.
Her magical resonance, Big Freeze.
In the Water magic tower, that power called the Snowfield of the Years was only 7 circles, and it raised Arya’s ability to a level close to the 8th circle.
As a result, Arya’s skills reached a level that threatened the position of Libert Vince Rothbane, the owner of the Blue magic tower.
As a result, the Rothbane family decided to kick Arya out of the family before Arya really outperformed Libert.
If you marry Leon and Arya, Arya will no longer be the daughter of the Rothbane family, but will become Countess Veritas, and the link with the Water Tower will be cut off.
To threaten the position of Libert, the Blue magic tower, its legitimacy would be compromised.
In addition to that, if the relationship with Leon, who is now the ruler of the Philo Empire, can be improved, from the point of view of the Rothbane magic family, it is the best strategy that can achieve the dual purpose of eating pheasants and eating eggs at once.
Of course, it must have been one of Arya’s dreams,
“…
Leon didn’t like it at all.
Calling her Rothbane’s hope, using her for food, and then throwing it away when things don’t go well.
Arya said clearly.
In order to be with Leon, who will rise to the top of the world someday, he promises to take over the Rothbane Magical Family.
That’s why I’m going to become the owner of the Blue magic tower.
That was the dream way that Arya could exist on an equal footing by Leon’s side.
Here, if Leon accepts the betrothal of the Rothbane magic family, at least Arya will not be able to dream of that dream any more.
As the one who told her to dream, Leon could never accept this proposal.
But what if that means Leon firmly rejects the proposal?
First of all, in order to expel Arya from the family, she will apply for marriage to another powerful aristocratic family.
Here, Arya’s own doctor has nothing to do with it.
If the opposing family accepts the proposal, Arya cannot disobey the family.
At least for now.
If so, there is only one thing Leon can do for Arya right now.
it will buy you time
Until Arya’s skills really catch up with Libert Vince Rothbane.
“I will consider getting engaged to Arya. Please wait a little bit.”
Leon replied to the Rothbane family with such a hostile letter, and Arya came to Leon as a response.
There must have been a family order to seduce Leon and make an engagement.
“Sorry for making it difficult for you.”
Arya came to the Grave Spirit and apologized as soon as she saw Leon’s face.
“It’s not because of you. So there is no need to be so timid.”
At Leon’s comfort, Arya smiled very slightly.
It was Leon who always made her smile.
Arya felt that fact and blushed.
And it was Leon’s two fiancées who reacted most sensitively to such a political move of the Rothbane Mage family.
Olivia Ibrium, who once returned to the Millennium Empire to replace the heart, and Ailee Philost, who had failed due to the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Beast Kingdom, came to the Graves within a month.
Of course, no matter how much the family ordered Arya to seduce Leon, Arya’s personality would have no intention of doing it, but Olivia and Ailee didn’t know anything about the character Arya.
“As I said before, Leon’s courtroom seat is mine.”
Olivia stood proudly with her arms crossed in front of them, insisting.
Arya said to him with her usual expressionless, expressionless expression.
“Is that Leon’s doctor?”
“There is nothing to listen to Leon. I was the first to conclude an engagement with Leon, so I must be the first to marry.”
Olivia said so in a brazen manner, but in fact, that was all she could claim.
A fake engagement for political use only.
The time I spent with Leon was the shortest among them, and I knew that Leon was not very attractive to me, so I wanted to be the first of Leon based on such an objective reason.
At that, Ailee muttered a little.
“Only for that reason?”
Olivia couldn’t help but be furious.
Especially since it’s true.
However, Olivia soon regained her composure.
Raise your palms and sweep your chest.
A wave of magical power that pulsates within.
“I was given a heart made by Leon as a gift. What do you think this means? As long as this heart keeps beating in my heart, Leon’s filial piety will only be me.”
It was Olivia’s only comfort.
At the same time, it was her pride.
With this heart, Olivia was able to stand tall in front of them.
She will be the only woman who received a heart as a gift from the man she loves.
“If it’s a gift, I got it.”
It was Arya who struck him.
A magic wand received as a gift 5 years ago and has not fallen from her hand since then.
“My own artifacts that only me can use. It is something that can freeze time and imprison eternity in a flash.”
It sounds romantic when you say it like that.
Veronica also intervened cautiously in that argument.
“I got it too. gift······.”
All of them were high-ranking people, so they were careful with their words, but the fact that this one sword from Leon was her pride was no different from other women.
Ailee looking at them like that had no choice but to die.
“what. Leon, do you have a habit of gifting artifacts to the girl you like? Why am I the only one who doesn’t have a present…?”
As she died, the other three women looked triumphant.
