Chapter 307 – Teaching Magic #1
It was already late afternoon when I arrived at the Lord’s Castle to report to Count Harold.
Today, the number of guards guarding the gate has increased dramatically.
If there is a suspicious person, it is not the usual lazy guards to immediately check on the spot.
‘Was it tomorrow morning that the diplomatic talks with the people of Jakarta would be held?’
Time flies so fast.
The date of the diplomatic talks was approaching just around the corner.
The security posture had to be tightened.
I wish the guards would show their sword-like appearance like that normally.
Corrupt cops from American dramas who only eat donuts.
“I’m Luke from the Adventurer’s Guild. I’m here to report that I’ve completed an investigation request from Count Harold.”
“I’ll do a body search for a minute.”
When I gave the name of Count Harold, the guards searched me and let me in.
“Pass!”
But is there any point in doing body searches against wizards?
Just hoit with your fingers, you should be able to fire a destructive ray.
After a while, I was able to meet Count Harold inside the lord’s castle.
The count had thick dark circles under his eyes, perhaps because he had been busy preparing for the diplomatic talks.
“Luke, someone said it and it was you. What happened to asking you to investigate the seizures of the drakes?”
“I requested an analysis from the research center in Nyingard and investigated it for sure. They said that the drakes went crazy because of the influence of hallucination magic. Someone put hallucination magic on the drakes in Amgur Steppe.”
Earl Harold, who was listening to the story, was getting worse and worse.
“If it’s hallucination magic, doesn’t it mean that someone deliberately made the drakes rampage? Of course, when I went to greet the delegation. This… Can be regarded as a terrorist activity against the Northern Kingdom.”
Earl Harold mentioned the word terror with a fearful expression.
It was a very fearful expression, like the earthlings being attacked by people shouting Allah Hu Akbar.
“It can’t be regarded as intentional terrorism, right? It’s possible that a delegation got caught in a place where some eccentric wizard accidentally experimented with hallucination magic. Could it be a coincidence?”
“It would be really nice if it was a coincidence… But as I, who is in charge of this conference room, I must not miss even the slightest spark. The diplomatic talks with the Jakartans will be held tomorrow. Do you know who will be attending the diplomatic talks from our kingdom tomorrow? “
“Who’s coming?”
“This is Prime Minister Amir! The Prime Minister, who holds the real power of the kingdom, is coming directly to my territory! If terrorists break into the conference room, Yoensu will be finished!”
Reign Amir!
I heard that he is the second highest noble in the Northern Kingdom after the king. The Northern Kingdom has a political structure where the power of the royal family is not strong and it shares power with the nobles, but Prime Minister Amir could be said to be the head of the aristocratic faction.
Even an aristocrat the size of Count Harold would have to live as the lord of the village for the rest of his life if he hates the chancellor.
‘It’s a big deal.’
I gave advice to Earl Harold, who had a worried expression on his face.
“There is a way to prevent terrorism using hallucination magic.”
“What is it?”
“A researcher from Nyingard said that the hallucinatory magic used in the Amgur steppe uses sound as a medium. By using the method of transmitting mana directly to the brain through sound, it was able to exert a wide-ranging effect. So, it is a way to prevent terrorism. Is simple.”
I told you how to deal with hallucination magic.
“All you have to do is place a magic scroll containing ‘silence’ magic in the lord’s castle. It’s a magic that completely blocks out sound within a certain range. If you block out the sound, the hallucination magic will inevitably be nullified.”
Widely!
Hearing my idea, Earl Harold slaps him on the knee ingeniously.
If he hadn’t tried to keep his dignity, he could have done a somersault right away.
“It’s a magic scroll with silence magic! I was so distracted that I couldn’t think of a method. After all, Luke, you have plans? You really are like a genius wizard who became the youngest and first-class wizard in history.”
“It’s too much praise.”
Did I have any plans?
In fact, I didn’t think of a way to prevent terrorism in advance, it just came up by accident during a conversation.
If it’s hallucinatory magic that uses sound as a medium, you can just block out the sound.
There was nothing particularly difficult about it, but Count Harold was praising me.
Fearing that telling the truth would make things awkward, he pretended to be a scheming person.
“Huh, it was actually planned in advance. Terrorists only play in the hands of first-class wizards.”
“Keueueueueueu!! A genius wizard who even blasphemes God!”
“If you ask the Mage Tower or Yoensu’s magic shop, you should be able to get enough magic scrolls to cover the lord’s castle. Have a nice day, lord.”
I finished reporting to Count Harold and went out of the lord’s castle.
As I was moving, the count’s vassals passed me by, looking at me in wonder and whispering.
“Did that wizard come up with a way to perfectly defend the lord’s castle?”
“They say he plays with terrorists in the palm of his hand. He’s terribly competent.”
“You’re so handsome! What a genius wizard!”
For some reason, it seemed like a huge amount of foam was being pumped into my evaluation among the residents of Yoensuu.
It seems that the bubbles are piled up in such a large amount that they do not disappear even with a blow.
“Kuhm.”
I purposely put strength on my shoulders and walked.
*
The next day, a diplomatic meeting was held in Joensuu.
Prime Minister Ymir arrived in Yoensuu this morning with a group of nobles, so all the participants in the meeting had gathered.
I went out into the streets and saw Prime Minister Ymir marching with my own eyes.
Seeing the powers of the two countries gathered in the city where I lived, my heart was truly magnificent.
So grand!
‘Is this the same Yoensu that was like that lawless zone?’
Is it true that Gotham City boasted trashy security because of adventurers and corrupt guards!
It seems like only yesterday that there were tin cans rolling around on the street because it was not cleaned well, but today it is as clean as if it had been renovated!
‘Did you prepare hard for the conference?’
The streets were clean and the guards were kind, just like seeing a city in an advanced country.
Anyway, after the meeting, it will return to the lawless zone as before.
“Let’s not show shame to the foreign delegation!”
“If you see a suspicious person, report it immediately! Our people’s canes will run right away!”
Guards around them were shouting to citizens to call for help at any time.
It was probably what Count Harold ordered.
The procession of nobles led by Prime Minister Ymir passed through the highway and entered the lord’s castle.
After the Prime Minister disappeared, I wandered around the castle until it was time to end the meeting.
Because I was honestly curious.
He wanted to know whether the diplomatic talks would end successfully or not. If the meeting fails, diplomatic ties will be severed, making it difficult to visit Rebecca’s hometown.
This means that you have to go through hardships every time you stop by your parents’ house and say hello to the people of your mother’s family.
‘Will it work?’
Six hours later, news came that the diplomatic talks had ended.
There was a lot to talk about, so the meeting time was very long.
When Prime Minister Ymir came out of the lord’s castle again, it was only when I saw the smile on his lips that I realized that the meeting had ended successfully.
‘The chancellor is smiling.’
If the negotiations had failed, he would have been holding the weight instead of laughing.
“How did the meeting go?”
“Tell us the results too!”
Near the Yeongju Castle, many citizens, like me, were curious about the outcome of the meeting. According to the meeting, starting this year, Jakartans wearing turbans will be able to roam around the city.
The Northerners were very interested in interacting with people from the mysterious desert kingdom.
Soon, the count’s vassal came out of the lord’s castle to control the riotous crowd.
It was a knight wearing plate armor.
“The diplomatic talks with the Jakartans have ended successfully! Permission will be granted for trade between Northern and Jakarta from next month. Citizenship holders are free to travel to Jakarta, of course. And we have decided to receive tourists from Jakarta as well. Please welcome the Jakartans who will soon come from the desert.”
As expected, the diplomatic talks were a success.
We can now live in the same space as the belly dancers of the desert kingdom.
Isn’t it nice to see beautiful women in flimsy clothes coming from abroad?
“What happens to the tariffs when doing trade with the Jakartans!”
“If those tanned skins cause a crime, can we punish them under our law?”
“Soon, the Count will post up posters on the matters decided at the meeting and disclose them! Matters regarding tariffs and laws will also be disclosed at that time. Don’t make a fuss anymore and disperse.”
The citizens who gathered in front of the lord’s castle made a fuss with confused expressions, and then dispersed after hearing the knight’s order.
In the future, the citizens of Yoensu will experience a lot of confusion due to the foreign culture.
Because this was the city at the forefront of trade with Jakarta.
‘Couldn’t Jakartans be joining the adventurer’s guild? Will I be working with foreign workers?’
While imagining various things, I hurried back to the inn.
I have to tell Rebecca that the diplomatic talks ended successfully.
No matter how her times change in the future, it was undeniable that good things had happened to her and me.
After arriving at the inn, I ran into Rebecca hanging out in the hallway.
As soon as Rebecca saw me, she rushed over and grabbed her sleeve.
“Lou, Luke! Are you from outside? Do you know how the meeting went?”
“If you’re curious, why don’t you go out yourself? If you wait in front of the lord castle, you’ll find out.”
“…I felt very sad when I heard the news of the severance of diplomatic ties right in front of me. I didn’t know how to look at Princess Selma’s face. I just prayed to the sun god in my room all day.”
Right!
Did Rebecca choose the prayer meter?
In this world, prayer actually works. Because it was a world where the gods really existed.
“Northern and Jakarta have established diplomatic ties as of today. The talks have ended successfully. I heard that it doesn’t matter if I travel to Jakarta from next month? People will come from there as well.”
“Ooooo…!!”
Back!
When I told her the outcome of the meeting as it was, Rebecca was so happy that she gave me a strong hug.
I felt good when her soft, soft breasts pressed against my body.
“Luke, let’s go to Jakarta for our honeymoon!”
“Is that so?”
“Fuck!! I can finally introduce you to my parents!”
This is a fact that I learned as a lover behavior expert, but the swear word ‘fuck’ is used in various meanings to Rebecca.
Not only did it reveal a negative mood, but there were also cases where I wrote it because I was so happy.
In this case, it was a kick in the sense of joy!
“Yabal girl, how happy are you shouting yabal in the hallway?”
“Honestly, I’m happy! How about a drink to celebrate today?”
“Good.”
I hung out with Rebecca for drinks that night until she got drunk and passed out.
Even though he had a rough mouth, he was a weak lover when it came to alcohol.
