Gust (4)
From noble mtl dot com.
dump-!
The magic tower master, who landed on the ground at such a speed that he almost fell, was shocked as soon as he saw my condition. It was because of seeing the wounds and blood all over her body.
“This, these wounds… … .”
“Nothing.”
“Isn’t that a big deal?! How could such a severe wound… … !”
The mage lord waved his hands while flagging. Then, as soon as magic power moved from that hand, the body covered in dust and blood was washed clean with water.
It was said that unless you were a priest, you couldn’t even heal the wounds, but it didn’t matter because the wounds were already healing.
… … After all, having a wizard is convenient.
For no reason, the presence of wizards in war was not important.
He shrugged his shoulders and smiled like that, and this time, the owner of the tower reached out into the air and began calculating complex magic formulas.
OK.
Woo-woo-!
From the outstretched fingertips, a black unknown that is connected to another space appeared.
It was a miraculous power that was given to the Archmage who could control even the realms beyond the theory of time and space.
“Is that a warehouse called subspace?”
“That’s right.”
The Magic Tower Master, who had put his hand through the subspace, eventually took out something and held it.
It was inferior to the first prince’s conquest that had already been torn apart, but it was a nobleman’s costume that looked quite splendid.
“Your Highness, you’ve been changing into this for a while.”
“Well, do that.”
Thanks to that, it was safe to say that the possibility of being scolded by the baron was extremely low. I was honestly grateful.
After I changed my clothes, I went out to organize my clothes. The Mage Master’s mouth opened calmly as he looked at me like that.
“Congratulations. You seem to have got what you want.”
“hmm.”
“I thought it would be possible with Your Highness.”
And the magic imprint that absorbed the power of the pure elements, that meant a lot. More than anything, it was even more so that he came with the conviction that he would be able to absorb similar powers later.
In that sense, it was not at all wrong to say that he had obtained what he wanted.
‘If I’m lucky, will I be able to borrow the power of all elements?’
Of course, the relationship between magic imprints and elements remained unknown.
How many powers can it contain? Could it contain two conflicting energies? What side effects would it have, etc.
In the first place, it was natural to put an element in a magic imprint, since it was the first time that it had happened before and after returning.
But even so, will you be satisfied with this level of power?
‘I can’t do that.’
The war with the Federation Empire was gradually approaching as if a ticking time bomb was about to explode.
If only I could conserve a little bit of energy. So if only I could do a little more damage to them.
… … I will sell my soul to the devil to gain strength.
“I have achieved my goal, so I will return soon.”
“All right.”
So I won’t waste the opportunity for the immediate rain that didn’t even come.
That was my determination.

Flash-!
A huge light enveloped the party, and before I knew it, I and the Mage Tower Master jumped over space and stood at the gymnasium located in the royal palace of Arendelle.
The Magic Tower Lord said after clearing away the light that obscured his vision.
“Im here.”
I roughly nodded my head at those words. Looking around, it seemed that the party hadn’t ended yet.
Well, don’t even do that. The only thing that had happened in the canyon was the absorption of mana, and it didn’t take even an instant to move.
‘Is he also a great wizard?’
The jump in space was just as convenient.
No, not just the jump in space, but the magic itself. In my mind, I wanted to exchange with George, who had recently become more rebellious.
“If not, it wouldn’t hurt to teach him magic.”
“yes?”
“It’s a pity that I can’t use it myself.”
Even if it was brought up to an appropriate level, it would be useful to carry around. Of course, it was clear that he would hate to death the fact that he had more work as always.
I moved to the inside of the royal castle while thinking such nonsensical thoughts.
… … No, that was the moment I was about to do that.
“Are you the first prince of Esteban?”
Instantly, along with an unfamiliar voice, someone’s familiar silhouette came into my field of vision.
He had never met him in person, but his impression was a man he was more familiar with than anyone else.
“Caravanzite.”
A man of misfortune who was once called Arendelle’s worst criminal and was despised, and a hero who saved the country from danger.
He was one of the most interesting characters, at least for me.
Is that why? I raised the corners of my mouth and waited patiently for him to come.
jerk, jerk.
And finally he stopped right in front of my eyes.
A huge body reaching 2 meters. And the muscles wriggling beyond the outerwear.
“Do you have any business?”
“Are you going back to Esteban now?”
“I think I’ve done my duty as an invited guest.”
I definitely said that. However, Caravan Zite penetrated the superficial reason and told the essence.
“What is Your Highness aiming for?”
“What do you mean?”
“Means to keep your back in check. Is that all you really want?”
Questions about what someone would think would be out of the blue. But I answered with understanding at once.
“then?”
It seems that he has already received my will from the king and crown prince. An absurd suggestion to stay still and not do anything.
As I shrugged my shoulders without saying anything, Caravan Zite slowly opened his mouth with a more firm expression.
“Your Highness knows everything, including the internal affairs of Arendelle. If you had expressed your intention to unite, I would have admired Your Highness’ ability as well, but I would not have had any doubts.”
“Do you think I’m hiding my true feelings?”
“It’s not a thought, it’s a conviction.”
In fact, his expression was full of wariness.
“… … What do you know? Why did you tell me to remain neutral even after revealing the Confederate Empire’s conspiracy?”
At first, Caravan Zite was only interested in the first prince.
That would be too. Didn’t he use himself as if he could read his thoughts?
The fact that he predicted that he, who had become a criminal after being falsely accused, would swear allegiance again.
The fact that such a ‘caravanzite’ would come up with a strategy with just a few words.
I would be lying if I didn’t admire that insight.
But not now.
From the moment he tried to use Arendelle with a meaningful and unreasonable proposal, the first prince became a very meaningful target.
The sense of incongruity that this whole situation is going according to his design does not leave his head.
… … But that was just his idea.
Having read that thought, I suppressed the laughter that was about to leak out.
“Are you saying I’m using Arendelle as bait to distract the Federation?”
“… … .”
“Funny.”
Unfortunately, that expression was cold, contrary to what was said to be fun. I moved my steps and approached Caravan Zite.
“… … !”
Tumble- Tumble-
As I approached a distance of about three spans, the caravan’s body, pressed by an unknown force, was pushed backwards without my knowledge.
“what… … .”
“That’s not a bad idea. Certainly, it would be convenient for Esteban to move if Arendelle and the Commonwealth Empire were to fight.”
Unlike before the return, the nation of Arendelle survived. In other words, it was said that they could gnaw away the forces of the Federation Empire, and if that happened, it was obvious that their power would be weaker than in the past.
In addition, he erased not only his hostility towards them, but also his debts, so it shouldn’t have been difficult.
“But what does that mean?”
“that… … !”
Suddenly, Caravan Zite, who was trying to refute, stiffened.
Due to the difference in weight class, it became the appearance of looking down, but the person himself did not think of looking down at this situation.
No, it was rather the opposite.
‘What is this… … .’
The feet that should have retreated, and the throat that should have fought back, did not listen.
All of a sudden, Prince 1 was arrogantly looking down at himself from a position similar to Mount Tae, and he felt as if he was drowning in the deep darkness.
There was no pressure whatsoever. Just with the implicit momentum he faced, he overpowered himself who had gone through all kinds of humiliation.
An atmosphere that seems irresistible.
And I started to spit out the sincere truth in it.
“I thought it would be satisfying if I was only faithful to the role of keeping the rear in check. I thought it would be useful to build relationships with the feuding forces.”
“… … .”
Driven to the brink of destruction, Arendelle was weak. Even if it gnawed at the forces of the Federation Empire, in the end that was all.
So, I rather wanted them to develop their strength while claiming to be neutral.
“By the way, is the suggestion that you remain in place so difficult to understand?”
“… … .”
tsk-
I lightly kicked my tongue at the figure of the guy who dropped his head without saying anything and took my steps away.
one step. and two feet. It wasn’t until the sight of her back finally passed by that I left the last piece of advice.
“Caravanzite.”
“… … .”
“It is disappointing that I have been locked up for so long. Let’s look a little wider.”
His blood-stained eyes fell indifferently.
I, who defied fate and provided you with a chance… … To not disappoint you anymore.
… … The schedule in Arendelle ended there.
