Chapter 200 – 21. I.
“Is that so… Can’t we reduce the recoil?”
“I’ll put it on and study it.”
“Yes. By the way, take that gun to Duke Terrine.”
“Yeah! I was going to deliver it anyway. Mehehe.”
Mooning laughed.
It doesn’t sound like you’re happy.
Aran looked at her happily, gave her a suitable prize and left her mage tower.
She was doing better than she thought, and it occurred to her that she was good at bringing them.
“You look happy.”
As she came out into the garden, Illyana, who was wandering around, joined her.
“Yes. The Algrey Mage Tower is doing better than I thought.”
“Didn’t I say that firearms aren’t very useful?”
“I heard that they developed a way to shoot it far without using their hands, so I just came here to see it.”
“You mean by using gunpowder?”
“Yes. 400 steps went well and broke the iron box.”
“Huh…That’s enough…It’s worth using strategically.”
She nodded her head in surprise.
“I think attaching it to a ship would be useful.”
“That’s right. If you break an iron box, it’s as easy as a wooden boat. Even if a wizard hits a shield, that mana won’t be infinite.”
“I told you to test it quickly, so maybe it will show its true value against Athens.”
“But don’t you have a lot of stomach?”
“I’m thinking of calling Agneel’s navy.”
“Hmm… I think it would be best to leave that alone.”
“Is that so?”
“It is an important trading base, but in other words, it is also a strategic point.
“Um…”
Alan was deep in thought.
‘Certainly, but… Just because the naval force is strong, can Agneil be captured? There is also Katarina…’
She’s a titan
It is also a colossal being that can transform into a gigantic body of more than 100 meters.
At the time, Aran and Hancock worked together to defeat it, so I didn’t think I would be defeated by the Athenian naval forces.
Besides, Agneel itself is a heavenly fortress.
Seeing that the Mei Empire gave up subjugating the raw meat after the pirate outbreak, it is not an easy task.
“Wouldn’t it be okay? In fact, Baron Agneel is a very strong man. I and Mr. Hancock worked together to defeat him.”
“Do you mean that much?”
“Yes.”
Illyana was taken aback and frowned as if she was suspicious of something.
“Then something is strange. What’s wrong with having such a talented person as a baron?”
“That.”
It’s because he became Aran’s vampneel, but I can’t say that.
“Could it be Aran…”
She shot her suspicious eyes away.
“Isn’t there a possibility that she will be her wife or her concubine his?”
“Stop, please.”
None at all. Because you are a slave
“Hmm…”
Still, she gladed at Aran in disbelief.
“Well, I’ll take care of it. But be careful. Anyone who works for less than what they’re worth is either stupid or has intentions.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Aran enjoyed a walk with Illyana, and when evening came, he called Terrin to his room her.
It was not for any other purpose, but for a more efficient movement.
“Did you call?”
“Duke Terrin, we have a place to go together.”
“Yes? No way…”
“No.”
“Do you know what I’m going to tell you?”
“…Anyway, no.”
Aran walked at a brisk pace.
The destination is the secret room he made. In other words, it was a room to monitor Juana.
Of course, he didn’t mean to let her know that Juana was being watched, he just wanted to let her know that real-time communication was possible.
After going down to the basement several times and passing through winding corridors, I came to a brick-blocked road.
As he tapped on a spot on the wall, an invisible magic formula began to glow purple.
“…Something is quite secret. Is it a place that only Your Highness knows about?”
“Yes. Now you will be the Duke of Terrine with me.”
“…”
She erased her mischievous expression as she realized that something was very important.
Googoo goo.
The wall started to move.
Each of them moved in and out, moving bumpily, and soon a stone door was pushed out in front of him.
Hard.
It opened automatically, revealing a very large room inside.
“Here…”
“This is my personal information room. Please come in.”
It’s a hidden place, so it’s not old or outdated. Rather, it was decorated more cozily and splendidly than any other room, and there were hundreds of viewers hanging on the entire wall on one side, allowing you to imagine countless scenes.
“It’s a mysterious space. It’s full of mana.”
Therin put on a happy expression, as if she had come to her hometown.
It is because the mana that is filled in this place makes her body light.
“It’s no different that I brought you here. It’s for smooth operation.”
“I’m guessing… What role does this room play?”
“Communication is possible.”
“Yes?”
“Exactly… You can communicate in real time, even over long distances.”
“…”
She tilted her head.
“I don’t quite understand the concept. Are you saying you can have real-time conversations from hundreds of feet away?”
“Not hundreds of paces.”
“Um…That’s right. Apparently, there are hundreds of people watching…”
“Ten thousands of views.”
“Yes?”
“If you are connected, real-time communication is possible even if you are tens of thousands of paces…Or theoretically hundreds of thousands of steps away.”
“…”
The Rin shut her mouth.
It was because I didn’t understand.
“Is that possible?”
“It’s possible. If it’s me.”
“…”
“The problem is that only I can do it.”
Aran activated the viewer.
A video connected to Saber installed in various places in the palace came to mind.
“Actually, the original developer is Ayla. She developed an artifact that can capture and save a scene, and I just developed it and created a device that can communicate face to face in real time.”
“Either way is great.”
The other time, we opened the space and moved, and this time, it was real-time communication.
More and more he looked great.
‘Where was this person and what was he doing?’
She was a commoner, and before becoming a prince, she had no special interests and was even raped.
“The important thing is not the principle of this. It is the useful value of this. When I go on an expedition, if possible, I plan to install a circuit. Even if there is, if the duke is here or somewhere else connected , he can have a real-time conversation with me.”
“… Lethal.”
She recognized it right away.
In a war where information is important, being able to deliver information in real time is an indescribable advantage.
Now, it is said that it is only her communication with Aran, but what if this develops and is used by the entire military? With a little exaggeration, any war can be won.
“Finally, the transmission of information is not important in this operation. Knowing the exact timing can cause a greater damage.”
“You’re asking me to let you know as soon as the enemy invades the mainland.”
“Yes. And I will also immediately inform you of all information obtained. Things like the enemy’s movement path. Then you can be more prepared.”
“He’s a scary person. Your Highness.”
“Whoops. Is that so?”
He continued to set simple guidelines with Terrin, and when he was somewhat organized, he asked what he had been curious about.
“Duke, I have a question for you.”
“Speak.”
“I heard that your power is one-third of the nobles. Of course, including the Persian nobles.”
“It’s been like that since I’ve lived. There’s no injustice, so don’t worry.”
“No way. I believe in dukes. But… I’m curious about the secret.”
“You mean the secret?”
“Yes. I’m a man, so I’m especially concerned about it.”
“Hmm…The secret…”
She stared at Aran quietly.
“… His Highness His is already doing well.”
“No way. You know that there aren’t many nobles following me, right?”
“Yeah…That’s true… But… Still…”
She laughed embarrassedly.
In fact, the way she seizes the nobles is not much different from Aran’s.
It’s just that the range is narrow, because Aran is already doing great.
“I asked my mother, but she said something strange that the duke is a technician.”
“She… No, did His Majesty say that? A technician.”
“Yes.”
“…”
She frowned slightly.
A guy called a friend doesn’t help at all.
‘Tomboy boy. It’s clear that I had useless thoughts.’
