Chapter 121: 121 Episode 120 The Impatience of King Donas

"A tool to measure magic power?

King Rujano of Donaeaus stood up in astonishment when he heard the report from his agents.

The throne rattled in protest as it was bounced by the force of the uprising, and wine overflowed and spilled from the golden cup he was holding.

It was a loud voice that lacked composure. It was an uncharacteristic outburst for a champion, but the current Rujano didn't really care about the appearance of his blunder.

"Nonsense!　There's no way I could have made that!　There must be some mistake!

"Well. I agree with you, but from what I've read in the ...... report, I'm pretty sure there's no mistake.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

In the event that you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you're going to want to make sure that you're getting the most out of your business.

I'm not sure if that exists,......, but it's ridiculous.

Lujano realized that the interrogation report was correct and muttered in dismay.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

"The Kingdom of Rynor ...... are a pain in the ass, d*mn it!

The high-pitched sound of metal hitting metal echoed through the room, and the bright red of the wine spread across the floor.

The reason he is so hostile to Rynor is that Donaea is also a country that puts magic technology first.

He is not afraid to tell the surrounding countries that it is the best technology in the continent.

In war, it has overwhelmed other nations with its magical power.

It is quite natural for the king of such a country to regard the Kingdom of Rynor as an enemy.

In recent years, the Kingdom of Donaea has failed to create any new technology, while the Kingdom of Rynor has established a solid reputation with its Academy of Magic, national mages, and the development of glittering glass.

This could threaten their dominance and interests.

There was no way that Rujano would not find the Kingdom of Rynor an annoyance.

Rujano questioned the man who had reported to him.

"So, did you bring that magic measuring device with you?

No, they said it was too heavily guarded and controlled for anyone to steal it.

If we can't get them from the Kingdom of Rynor, what about the ones that have gone to other countries?　Can't you get your hands on one or two?

It seems they have restrictions on the number of countries they can export to and the number they can export to, so it's difficult to get them. ......

What do you mean you can't?

I'm sorry, sir!

The man with the king's intuition shrinks to the spot and prostrates himself.

The man with the king's intuition shrinks and falls flat.

So what about imitation?

You can't do anything about it if you don't have the ...... original in hand.

"You can at least steal a look at it. Can't you at least predict what it's going to be like from that?

I can't tell from the outside. ......

No!　It's completely useless!

Lugano's frustration extended to the throne on which he sat.

Instead of slamming the fan on his hip against the back of the chair to vent, the fan snapped in half and rolled across the floor.

The man who came up to report cowered at the loud noise and hung his head even deeper.

He lowered himself and tried to get away from the storm, but Lugano's irritation showed no signs of abating. At this rate, he fears that he might even violate the man who came to report him.

In the meantime, the man who had been standing by Lugano's side opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty!　Your Majesty!　Please allow me to speak. ......

"What is it, my Prime Minister? What is the matter with you?

"Thank you, Your Highness!　Thank you very much!

Rujano's eyes widened and he turned to stare at him.

On the other hand, the man who made the statement, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Donais, was not daunted by the king's gaze.

Rather, he remained elated, smiled happily, and stepped forward further.

"Your Majesty. This is a matter of great importance to our country, and I have a suggestion regarding this matter.

"What?

I would like to ask permission to enter the throne room one person at a time. Please, please, please allow me.

...... will do. Permission granted.

After receiving Lujano's permission, the Prime Minister exaggerated again, "Thank you!　Thank you! The first thing he did was to have the man who had been reporting to him step back.

Next, he said, "Come in," and clapped his hands as if to signal.

Then a man entered the throne room, replacing the man who had been giving the report.

The man who entered the throne room was a man of great age.

He looked like a dignified aristocrat, with his well-developed physique clothed in the clothes of a man of high rank. His clothes were raised with broad shoulders and a thick chest plate, indicating that he had been working out.

On the other hand, his physiognomy is terrible. His square-shaped face is covered with glazed eyes and a chinstrap-style beard. The expression on his face was so vicious that the word "evil" was quite appropriate.

It was a face that had nothing to do with the glamour of the palace.

A face full of baseless confidence.

His shoulders slumped.

Even the way he walked showed glimpses of arrogance and coarseness, as if someone from the underworld had wandered into the palace without the light of day.

Lugano asks the man kneeling before the throne.

"And you?

"It is my honor I have the honor to greet the sun of Donaias. My name is Gielo, and I am a small man.

Lugano's voice was rather grave and he frowned.

In spite of his evil appearance, he was very careful and polite.

He uses a series of clever phrases that make it clear that his condescension is only superficial.

Lugano's narrow-mindedness and skepticism set off alarm bells for the man.

This man, Gielo, is not just a man of appearance and strength. He is a tricky man who will try to play tricks on the king.

Rujano looked at the Prime Minister again.

"What's wrong with this man, my minister?

"Haha!　Let me introduce you to him!　This man, Gielo, belongs to the department that is mainly responsible for our country's foreign intelligence activities. This Gielo has a proposal for you. Would it be possible for you to hear this proposal from me?

"A proposal?

Exactly!　That's exactly what I'm suggesting!　Your Majesty, please, please listen to .......

"Very well. Gielo, you say. Speak quickly and clearly.

Well... I'm sure you're aware that the Kingdom of Rynor has an academic institution called the Academy of Magic.

Yes, I know. I'm not afraid to say that it's the best academic institution when it comes to magic.

Yes, sir. My own research has revealed that beneath the Academy lies a secret that could shake the Kingdom of Rynor.

"Shake Rynor?　What is it?

What's that? In the basement of the Academy lies a monster of great power.

A monster of great power?　What are you talking about? No child today would make such a false claim. Even a court jester could say something more clever.

Lugano snickered and dismissed Gielo's sudden outburst of insanity.

He then turned a deadly glare on the Prime Minister.

"My Prime Minister. You're not playing with me, are you?　If you are, you will not get away with this.

"No, no, Your Majesty!　No, Your Majesty! You've got it all wrong. Listen to Gielo more carefully. I'm sure the wise sovereign will agree with you.

When Lugano heard the Prime Minister's words, he looked at him as if he were dying.

I think you have a point, sir. But this is something I have learned from reading the prophecies of the kulaki.

"The prophecy?　They say it's impossible to decipher.

No, Your Majesty. I've succeeded in deciphering part of it. I have succeeded in deciphering a part of it, and in it I have found a description of the region where the Kingdom of Rynor is currently located.

...... You don't think it directly mentions the wizard academy?

Haha. To be precise, it's about a family that's been the head of the Academy for generations. His family, the Cyphers, have been the guardians of the land for generations, protecting the monsters that the Sage had sealed away from being unleashed by malice. As I investigated, I discovered that it still exists inside the Academy.

Is it true?

Is it true? According to my research, I'm almost certain of it.

So what this Gielo guy is trying to say is this.

"So you're saying you want to unleash the monster and steal the magic meter in the middle of it?

"Well... It is as you say, Your Majesty.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

I don't like your attitude. I don't like his attitude, but what he's saying is worth considering. It's a ridiculous suggestion, but not if it's based on the Book of Chronicles. This is because what is depicted in the book of legends is what has actually happened so far, and what is depicted in one of them [the book of prophecies of Kuraki] is a hint of what will actually happen in the future.

I understand what you're saying. I understand what you're saying, but before we can proceed, we need to be sure. It's not easy to give permission for something that's written in a prophecy.

It would be my great pleasure if you could authorize me to infiltrate the kingdom so that I may investigate.

It is not an easy task to penetrate the heart of the kingdom.

I've been in close contact with a certain lion, and I've succeeded in gaining his cooperation.

A lion?　Hmm. ......

Gielo's comment made Lujano realize that if he mentioned the word lion, it would be a good thing.

If you say the word "lion," you can easily guess who it refers to.

This man, Gielo, was taking credit for all the information and plans he had shared with me, but I knew that they had all come from the lion.

Aside from Gielo, it seemed that it would not be impossible for the lion's intelligence network to investigate the depths of the kingdom. The country had a long history of hostility with the Kingdom of Rynor, and was always sensitive to the Kingdom's movements. It is not unlikely that they have many secret agents, and it is not impossible that one of them brought this information to them.

I mean, come on. The lion probably wants to use Gielot to find out the truth and, if possible, to hurt the Kingdom of Rynor.

Using Donneas as a joke.

"Hmm. I don't like it.

"Your Majesty!　Oh, Your Majesty!　By all means!　By all means, by all means, will you accept Gielo's plan?　If you do, Donaeaus will be rewarded with even greater glory and glory!

"Hmm. Well said. My Prime Minister. You're not so blind as to not understand. You're just a beggar being played by the rich. Are you asking me to throw away my pride as king?　Don't tell me you don't know what happens to beggars who are blinded by money?　Or what?　Do you want me to become a pig or something?

Lugano's gaze became even more intense.

But the Prime Minister, exposed to that scathing gaze, shook his head, "No, no," he said.

No!　No! Your Majesty, it is this man, Gielo, who is in charge.

No! Your Majesty, it is this man, Gielgud, who has taken the initiative." "You mean he has orchestrated all this?

"Indeed!　Your Majesty is right.

The vizier persisted, and Lugano finally lost his temper.

I can't believe it!　Do you think I'm so stupid that I can't see that the lion is playing me?

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty. Calm down. You need to be calm in your judgment.

Do you think I'm not calm?

You're... you're... you're...

"Ugh. ......

The vizier's carefree smile made Rujano swallow his annoyance. He is the king of a country. I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that.

"With all due respect, Your Majesty. Our country is smaller and less powerful than his. It's obvious. It's plain for all to see.

You're being honest. Go on.

Go on. But if this plan is successful, the magic meter will be ours, and his country will change its mind about Donneas. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get him to negotiate with you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Hmm.

And if you are!　...... Your Majesty, I think it is important to take advantage of the situation even if it is painful. If you think of it as a way to sip sweet nectar afterwards, it won't be so painful. With that in mind, I would like to ask Your Majesty to make a wise decision.

The Prime Minister bowed with an exaggerated gesture.

It is true that, as the Prime Minister said, the Donaea Kingdom's national strength is greatly inferior to that of the Gillis Empire. As such, it would be impossible for the Donaeaus to take a strong stand against the Empire during negotiations, and it would be undeniable that they would be forced to accept unreasonable demands.

However, if we can accept our humiliation even temporarily and obtain the magic meter, our position will be reversed. The Gillis Empire would want to obtain the magic meter at all costs in order to conquer the Kingdom of Rynor. If the mission is successful, we can negotiate with them on favorable terms.

In response to the Prime Minister's proposal, King Rujano paused for a moment of thought before saying

"...... is fine. But as I said before, how do you plan to infiltrate?　The Academy of Magic is one of the kingdom's centers. It's not a place that can be easily entered.

If it is a friendly country, we can send foreign students there, but the Kingdom of Donaea is not allied with the Kingdom of Rynor. However, the Donaeaus Kingdom is not allied with the Kingdom of Rynor. Rather, it is allied with the Gillis Empire, which is hostile to Rynor, and thus is indirectly hostile to the Gillis Empire.

Here is what Gielo has to say.

"Your Majesty. I've already put together a plan for infiltration.

"Well? Well?　What's the plan?

We've already recruited help from his country to infiltrate.

Collaborators?　From the Empire?

From the Empire? He's a strange one, but I have no doubt of his abilities. With his help, we will be able to enter the capital and use him as a foothold to discover the secrets of the Academy.

"You want to use such a person?　And if you invite anyone to help you, they may claim credit for it.

"Your Majesty!　I have a very simple and easy solution for that!　Your Majesty! Right, Gielo.

Well... I've already gathered a group of trusted people and we're getting ready.

Rujano still had his doubts, but the Prime Minister's words gave him a boost.

"Hmm ......, good. Gielo, I leave this matter entirely to you. You may leave now.

With Lugano's approval, Gielo left the room.

When Gielgud had left the room, Lugano asked the Prime Minister.

...... Are you sure there is nothing wrong with that man's story?

No. No, not at all. He may look crude, but his abilities are unquestionable.

He looks like a small man pretending to be a big man.

Your Majesty. That can't be helped, can it? Small people admire big people. The reason why you make yourself look so big is because your heart is like a fragile glasswork, so fragile that you can't move satisfactorily without putting on a skin of pretense. We can overlook it with a smile. Isn't that what humanity is all about?

"Hmm, you're even more pretentious than that.

"Indeed, indeed, Your ...... Majesty is right. If only I were covered in decorations.

Rujano made no further reference to Gielo or the Prime Minister.

Yes, the lion is what he cares about the most right now.

Anyway, they. Why in the world would they have information about the depths of Rynor?

That's the power of his country, isn't it? This is the time to hold back lest he turn on us. Like a tortoise, we must endure with our limbs intact.

"Well, ...... can't help it.

I can't shake the uncomfortable feeling that I am being used by others.

But now is the time for surrender, Lujano said, and suppressed his own irritation.

"...... and the Prime Minister. I'm not sure what to make of that.

They are not dressed. There has been no unusual activity on your part. Resistance is still sporadic but fierce, but I think we should leave that to the nobles of the western frontier.

They should have just given up their lands, but they are wasting their time resisting.

People cling to their land and status. "People cling to their lands and positions, and even those who don't dress can't escape it. Everyone desires peace and a place where it can be realized. You know very well that it is difficult to get rid of people once they are there.

"......

It's not your concern, Your Majesty. If the West is unsuccessful, I will devise a plan of my own.

Leave the details to me. Take care of it.

Yes. Yes, sir.

He bowed as if he had just finished performing a trick.

Rujano looked at the Prime Minister's grand gestures with cold eyes.
