Chapter 696
Episode 696 The Royal Family’s Enmity (2)
The Princess of Greyman Kingdom.
In name and reality, she possessed the greatest power in the royal family.
In order to become the next king, she gathered nobles for over twenty years, and as a result, a faction was formed under her intelligent woman.
From a marquis to a merchant.
Because if she had the ability, she hired someone regardless of title.
The power expansion, which once began to pick up speed, took place at a terrifying speed.
However, despite this, she felt a sense of entitlement towards the royalist aristocrats.
‘There is a Philia magic corps commander in the royal faction. In a few more years, it is certain that Captain Kleiman will also rise to the rank of master.’
At first glance, Kleiman seemed light-hearted with a lot of laughter, but his strength was not small.
6th Circle Master and Sword Master.
If the king kept both of them by his side, the forces he had developed so far would be meaningless.
Of course, it can prevail politically, but even that is useless in the face of overwhelming force.
Thinking so, Princess Il stopped recruiting talented people and started selecting those who showed outstanding qualities in martial arts.
It even held a swordsmanship and magic tournament in the name of the princess.
Some of the talented people gathered from various places caught her eye and were actually being trained as knights, but it was never easy to become a master.
Even after raising it for over five years, no one had even stepped on it, let alone a master.
On the other hand, the people next to the king were users who had come to the placenta.
It was not enough to train based on the kingdom swordsmanship that had been practiced over hundreds of years, so he was making progress with the guidance of Kleiman, who hovered around the master’s footsteps.
It was only for a moment that the princess’s sense of entitlement grew.
* * *
She pondered over the future.
As usual, when my head was complicated, I walked to the terrace near the lake, where I was looking for, and there was a white-haired young man and a lady-in-waiting.
‘It’s a face I’ve never seen before?’
If it was a central aristocrat, there was no way he could not recognize it.
That said, at least the young man in front of him was neither a king nor an aristocrat.
One princess came closer to him.
The lady-in-waiting, who recognized her, came to her senses and was startled and tried to bow, but was stopped by Princess Il’s light restraint.
Even though the black tea was getting cold, Princess Il immediately stiffened when she approached with a light heart to see the young man concentrating on the young man.
Chilling white hair.
A glimpse of her beautiful eyes caught her attention at once.
The graceful nose bridge and lively lips made me even think that it was not hers.
If you’re still a beauty, you’ve seen her countless times.
Most of the nobility’s appearance was beautiful, so I thought my eyes got used to it.
The moment I saw the young man in front of me, all my thoughts were shattered.
When the young man, who was absorbed in something, turned his head, a regretful sigh flowed from the princess.
“Ah…”
I thought that I would never have feelings for the opposite sex in my thirties.
Furthermore, falling in love at first sight while looking at someone was considered to be possible only when you were young.
But when it happened to me, I realized that it wasn’t necessarily like that.
‘no way. It’s just a surprise.’
After struggling to deny her feelings, the princess managed to regain her composure.
She watched Ray’s behavior from the sidelines until it was over.
Square – Square –
Cut wood by hand.
She had an excellent eye and noticed at a glance that it was a weakly blooming sword aura.
He still looks young, but he’s capable enough to make a sword aura.
As a princess, looking at a talented person made me feel more like her.
how much time has passed
Around the time when the sun rising in the middle of the sky starts to set making a scarlet sunset.
From the young man’s mouth, ‘It’s finished!’ word came out.
The princess, who was watching from the side, gave a small clap.
“congratulation. thank you for your effort.”
Ray was also genuinely delighted with those words full of goodwill.
“I don’t know who it is, but thank you!”
He said he was concentrating, but he already knew that someone was approaching from his side.
However, Lay was also deeply grateful to the lady-in-waiting who kept her maid quiet and watched her from the side, in case she lost her concentration.
He quenched his thirst with the tea that had already cooled down and looked at the finished product.
Truly magnificent in size.
The patterns engraved on the outside look like works of art.
Its size, which would come close to the chest of an adult man, seemed unusual even to the princess.
“If it’s not rude, would it be all right if I listen to an explanation of the work?”
Wouldn’t it make you feel bad?
Even in the tone of voice, the generosity of understanding the opponent flows out.
It must be an unusual status to see that grace naturally oozes in every action.
Ray, who thought so while looking at the princess, nodded meekly.
When I stroked the large wooden box with diagonal lines drawn once, the wooden box made a gurgling sound and split in two.
There was something that looked like a small bead embedded in the place where the inside was clearly exposed.
“I’m going to put a spell on this from now on.”
“Magic?”
Princess Il looked at the wooden box.
It is certainly large, but it will not be easy to enchant it because there are many decorated patterns around it.
‘An engineer would have expressed disapproval.’
Technicians who draw magic circles are usually hired by the Magic Association.
The price of the imprinting system was expensive, and the labor cost of an engineer was also considerable, so it was difficult to hire non-nobles.
In addition, in the case of objects with decorative patterns, it could not but be embarrassing for the technician who had to engrave the gin.
Phil will be rejected.
Princess Il looked for a while to see if she could help, but unfortunately, there was no way because the leader of the magic corps was a royalist aristocrat.
As for magic, that side held on tight.
The moment she was about to say something out of regret.
Ray put his hand on a small wooden marble in the middle of the wooden box.
“What should I put in first?”
As he hums a song and pours mana, small words like dots are engraved on the outside of the marble.
The spell that was engraved letter by letter soon became a word and a sentence.
Each time the blue light flashed, the surrounding mana rushed fiercely toward the orb.
Whoaaah-!
Within a few minutes, a magic circle was completed.
Princess Il, who was watching the scene from the side, was truly astonished and shuddered.
The degree of completion of the magic circle depends on the skill of the magician.
However, anyone could see that the small magic tool in front of them was pouring out unusual mana.
Not even a wooden box, but engraving a magic circle on a ball the size of a child’s fist.
It was a category incomprehensible to her common sense.
The young man who smoked a sword aura at a young age is now carving a magic circle as if it were natural.
‘Magic Swordsman…?’
I once read it in a book.
In the past, there was someone who participated in the War of the Heavenly Demon, wielding sword and magic at the same time.
I never thought I would actually see a magic swordsman that only existed in legends.
Princess Il was curious about him, but the more she did, the more she kept her mouth shut.
He moved away from his seat so that Ray could concentrate, and watched her actions silently.
Woo-woo-!
The resonant sound of mana came to the point of hurting my ears.
How on earth to make great magic tools?
Princess Il looked at Ray’s profile and thought.
‘No matter how much he is a magic swordsman, he is still young. Let’s not expect magic tools.’
If you can engrave the magic of the 1st circle, your talent as an engraver will be recognized, and if you engrave the magic of the 2nd circle, you will be able to work as a professional engraver.
If you can engrave more than 3 circles of magic, you will be famous as a technician invited from all over the world.
He is an outstanding figure who even developed a sword aura.
In addition, since he seems to have some talent for magic, he would be able to engrave 2 circles of magic at most.
I promised myself not to have high expectations, but I couldn’t help but be excited about the finished product.
The sunset gradually recedes.
A pale purple sky began to approach.
As the stars appeared one by one in the sky, the panoramic view of the terrace turned into a different sight.
Maybe it’s because the surroundings are a bit dark?
The young man’s face, which had been shining brightly in the setting sun, now looked delicate enough to break if touched.
Ray, who had been working for a while, got up after another thirty minutes.
While pretending to wipe his forehead without even sweating, he removed his hand from the wooden box.
“It’s done. It looks pretty useful, doesn’t it?”
It was because he did not have a deep knowledge of magic.
The princess smiled a little.
“I’m sorry I don’t have the discerning eye to appreciate your skills.”
“no. On the contrary, I would have been surprised to find out from the beginning.”
Ray liked the princess in front of him.
The act of being considerate of others is also an act, but it is because there was no arrogance and arrogance that was often seen in other nobles.
He obediently explained the magic tool.
“It’s a little long to explain, but to put it simply, this magic tool will distract you when more than a certain amount of mana gathers around you. Magic is no exception.”
“Does that mean you can’t use magic?”
“A sword aura would be fine… but maybe a sword that gathers mana at high density like an aura blade would be too much?”
‘I haven’t tested it,’ he muttered briefly, leaving Princess Il speechless.
“Would you mind if I try it?”
“If you wish.”
As Ray moved away while talking, Princess Il pulled out her favorite sword from her waist.
Sreureung-!
A black sword body appeared along with a clean foot sword.
“Wow.”
Admiration for nature came out.
To be honest, I was no longer surprised to see a fair amount of swords while watching and learning under Derp, but the sword of the princess in front of me was literally a national treasure.
Holding the sword bottle, she poured mana into her beloved sword.
Whoa-!
A quiet resonant sound followed, and a small plucked string formed on the blade.
As soon as the burning flame covered the entire sword, Ray nodded.
“There is no problem with the sword aura.”
