Chapter 963 – 963. Void Stone (2)
After killing Laxus and Lenny, who had attacked the royal palace, and ending the fight, the three, including Yuria, headed straight to the inn in the capital.
The capital was very quiet.
It wasn’t just quiet, it was as if all vitality had been erased from this place, with only a gloomy energy hovering in the empty space.
It was evidence that rumors were spreading that the royal family, the center of the country they lived in, had fallen.
That fact made the kingdom’s citizens anxious.
The story of the destruction of the royal family and nobles, who were supposed to protect them and promise them a stable life, meant that this country had lost its function as a nation and no longer brought stability and peace to itself.
Anxiety and doubt have sprouted, and now only chaos will fill this country.
The fact that it was somehow able to maintain its shape was only limited.
It was in the meantime.
[I think I need to change my plan.]
“… What does that mean all of a sudden? How?”
Eunhyeon’s story was so sudden and unexpected.
Since it was virtually impossible to hold a continental conference in the Kingdom of Leucadia anyway, there was talk of changing the location of the conference.
The host, the Lucadian royal family itself, was destroyed and many nobles died.
Since the form of the country could no longer be maintained, it was natural that this story could not be helped.
“… “What happened?”
However, Eun-hyeon, who rarely stands up in front of Gu Tae-yeo and fully asserts her opinion, must have done so because some variable has arisen.
[… I’ll tell you later.]
Moreover, the way he spoke with his voice completely lowered gave off the scent of seriousness to anyone who saw him.
“Oh, why are you so anxious? Just tell me…”
[Then I’ll contact you again. This much.]
Eunhyeon unilaterally cut off communication.
“…”
Yuria looked momentarily dazed at the fact that, let alone receiving a proper answer, she was unable to say everything properly and the communication was cut off one-sidedly.
Eventually, Yuria came to her senses and her expression distorted.
“Ah-oh! See!”
She was so heated that she almost threw the communication crystal ball she was holding in her hand, but barely managed to stop herself from throwing it away.
This is because they knew very well that this communication crystal ball itself was a groundbreaking artifact created by Eunhyun and Illyana, and that its value was enormous.
Moreover, as a public disciple of Illyana, she wouldn’t dare retaliate if she found out that she had thrown and destroyed her artifact.
Although she knows very well that it is annoying and unreasonable, the situation she has to endure makes her very deplorable.
“… “What happened?”
Alex, who was standing guard outside her room, must have heard Yuria’s annoyance, so he carefully entered the room and watched her.
“Your brother-in-law keeps annoying me.”
“… Sorry.”
Was Eunhyun the cause again?
Alex apologized with a bitter smile.
“It’s not for Alex to apologize. Even more so… She doesn’t blame him, but…”
She just felt inexplicably anxious.
Alex, who had heard the story in more detail, nodded her head in understanding.
“Surely… She said it was something he would have taken seriously… “It doesn’t seem unreasonable for the Queen to have such thoughts.”
“… Right? Ha. “I’d rather at least tell you.”
“Still, let’s wait. “It’s not like he doesn’t do anything or prepare for anything.”
“… “It is true.”
The fact that Eun-hyeon took the situation seriously means that it could be dangerous.
He was a very cautious person, and he wasn’t the kind of person who would carelessly throw something away.
“Joy. You have a lot to worry about. He’ll just take care of it, so if he needs help, he’ll just give us the help we need.”
Siete, on the other hand, took it so indifferently.
Siete, who had a grumpy expression on her face, went back to meditation.
Yuria sighed softly, trying to shake off her uncertain future and fall asleep.
◆ ◆ ◆
The continental banquet scheduled to be held in the Kingdom of Leucadia was cancelled.
With the fall of the royal family, the Kingdom of Leucadia quickly entered a period of chaos to the point where it could no longer maintain its form.
Ironically, it was the Kingdom of Pernias, located very far away, that was barely holding on to the current Kingdom of Leucadia.
And two months after the fall of the Lucadian royal family was publicly announced.
“They are slowly arriving one by one.”
Looking at the crowd of people as small as ants outside the window, Aden, the chief elder of the Magic Tower, muttered.
“Thank you for your help.”
In the elder’s room, Eunhyeon, who was sitting across from him and drinking tea, bowed her head and greeted him.
“Compared to the help I received from you, shouldn’t I give you this much?”
Aden smiled and waved his hand.
Eunhyeon’s request for help was ‘please use your strength to hold a continental conference at the Magic Tower.’
Originally, the Magic Tower did not accept requests from other countries or individuals or intervene in the political situation on the continent.
The Magic Tower, which possessed many of the continent’s elite magicians, was a force as powerful as a powerful country, capable of influencing the situation on the continent.
And the reason why there was no choice but to use the past tense expression ‘was.’ Was because the reign of Magic Tower had recently declined significantly.
Despite the honor and glory of the past, the entire Tower of Magic was in an uproar as only one mage named Illyana Kennifer returned to the Tower, while recently suffering fatal damage from an attack by rebels including Raynan.
Now, even if the three red, blue, and green elders, who are the strongest and best high-ranking magicians in the Magic Tower, join forces, they cannot surpass Illyana alone.
It was an unavoidable reality that the Magic Tower was unable to show its courage and lost its face.
Eunhyeon shook his head with a bitter smile.
“I wasn’t the only one who helped, so how can I consider it my own contribution?”
Illyana helped by demonstrating her magical talents and capabilities without fail, and Eleanoa brought her family’s capital and contributed greatly to the restoration of her magic tower.
It’s a shameful story that pricks your conscience to go around saying it’s your own merit.
“Your wives are acting only for you, so how could it not be your merit? “Please stop accepting it now.”
Aden chuckled and drank her tea.
“I owe you so much that even that stubborn elder would not have been able to refuse your request.”
Even the elder, who did not get involved in the political situation and emphasized discipline, saying that it was against fairness to listen to individual requests, accepted Eunhyeon’s request while clearing his throat awkwardly.
Eventually, he, who was smiling kindly like his father-in-law, spoke with a serious expression.
“I guess it’s because it’s such an important issue, right?”
“… Yes.”
Eunhyeon, who was smiling bitterly, also immediately nodded.
Eunhyeon argued that this continental conference, where all countries on the continent gather in one place, must be held, even if it is only by borrowing the power of the public trust that the Magic Tower possesses.
“It’s such an important matter, so of course we should help.”
“Having said that, my heart feels much lighter.”
“Then let’s go out quickly. “The organizer of the meeting cannot afford to neglect preparations.”
“Yes.”
It was decided that the meeting would be held in the large round table conference room on the top floor of the Magic Tower.
Originally, it was a conference room where a large number of people, approximately 20 to 30 people, including the three elders of the Magic Tower and many magicians from each affiliation, attended.
Many people began to fill the huge conference room.
“Are you here too?”
“Hmm… “I didn’t know you would come too.”
“Well, it just so happened…” .”
The king of a certain country was busy glancing around at his surroundings.
“Rather than that, is it really true? “That the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ was developed?”
“I’ve only heard stories about it, but I haven’t actually seen it.”
Naturally, not all countries on the continent participated in this conference to overcome the current situation out of concern for the future of the continent.
People tend to have a calculating nature, never making a move for any reason unless it is for their immediate benefit.
Even if, to some, the result could lead to the end of the world.
So Eunhyeon baited them into attending this meeting.
First, they sold the names of the sacred kingdoms of Anies and Erenia.
The participation of the Holy Nation of Erenia, to which Anies, one of the six heroes of the continent, belongs, shows such great public trust that it can exert great influence on other countries as well.
The priests of the Holy Kingdom of Erenia, who established numerous temple branches throughout each country and sent numerous priests to perform divine miracles, are incomparable to the public trust of the Magic Tower.
Upon hearing the news that the Holy Kingdom of Erenia would participate, countries that had close contacts with the Holy Kingdom or had a snobbish desire to impress the temples and priests quickly expressed their intention to participate.
Second, and most recently, they intentionally spread the existence of the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ and the Supreme Magic Stone created by Illyana’s hand.
Even if it is not the Philosopher’s Stone, if it is a top-level magic stone that contains a vast amount of magical power, it alone can use enormous magical energy as a power source, so there are no restrictions on using the artifacts used in the kingdom.
In other words, it was natural to be interested and greedy as the scope of its use was rapidly expanded while reducing enormous costs.
In some cases, the king, the head of a country, participated in person, and in other countries, a representative was sent on behalf of the king.
In any case, Eunhyeon’s intention was successful in getting all the countries that sent invitations to participate in this continental conference.
“Hmm, looks like everyone is in attendance.”
After confirming that all the round tables in the conference hall were filled, Aden glanced at Eunhyeon.
“Who is that man?”
“White-silver hair and red eyes? “It’s my first time seeing your face.”
“Are you the wizard of the new Magic Tower? But why…”
The situation was very strange.
The heads of each country and their representatives who attended the meeting all had some degree of relationship with the Magic Tower and were also somewhat acquainted with the three elders of the Magic Tower.
However, in this magic tower, the three elders, who are the most powerful people in the magic tower, treat the young man in a respectful manner as if they were superiors.
It was a very strange thing.
Eunhyeon, who was receiving gazes filled with various emotions such as questions, doubts, interest, and interest, let out a small breath.
“Whoa.”
I never once thought that the day would come when I would introduce myself in this way and make my presence known at a gathering of all the powerful people on the continent.
He was always reluctant to show off and had no intention of showing off his presence.
Revealing oneself to many people meant that one’s weaknesses could also be revealed to enemies who could oppose oneself.
[Try it. The child will do well.]
Eunhyun was taking a deep breath to calm himself down, and his goddess, Verdandi, was cheering him on.
Eunhyeon finally opened his mouth.
“Thank you for attending the meeting. “My name is Eunhyeon, and I created this event with the help of Magic Top and many people.”
The last hero hidden in the world has revealed himself.
