Chapter 2: Harmonia (2)

"If you make an accident, we will send it back."

Do not worry!

"I will never cause any problems!"

When the two disciples vigorously responded to Jamie's warning, it gave me a headache.

Fortunately, Hera was there.

"I will take good care of the disciples so that they do not interfere with their work. Do not worry.

"Hera-san, please suffer a little."

"You think we are children."

Lennon snorted, and Anne responded with a smirk.

"It's our little girl."

" ."

Lennon, embarrassed, glared at Anne with wide eyes.

Anne just shrugged, sticking out her lower lip.

"Anyway, it's a dangerous place, so be careful."

Yep!

"Nep!"

"If you can't even speak Come on."

Jamie led the three to the top floor of the central tower.

An envoy from Harmonia had arrived to take them there.

nice to meet you. I am the reaper of Harmonia, Pickit Ogwi."

"This is Jamie Welton."

Jamie took Pickett's outstretched hand.

He was a man with a hard impression and a prominent clown, but it wasn't a very good impression.

However, the magic level was not low, and the mana I felt was quite good.

Pickett checked the number of people with a hard tone just like his appearance.

"Sir Welton Jr. and three others. Has confirmed. Then, please stand behind me."

Jamie, two of his pupils, and Hera followed Pickett's instructions and took a seat behind him.

Pickett put the return scroll he had received in advance on the floor and began to memorize the spell while putting his hands together.

The three elders who came out to see them off from the other side spoke a word to each of them.

"Everyone, please be careful."

"I believe you will do well."

"Harmonia's apples are so strange, I hope you buy some when you come."

In the meantime, Luke took the place of seeing off by telling him to buy a special product.

Jamie replied with a smirk.

"If you can afford it."

"I hope you can afford it."

"Then I will go."

""I will go!""

"I will take good care of you."

Jamie was followed by Lennon, Anne, and Hera, greeting the elders.

After finishing the preparations, Pickett bowed his head toward the three elders and chanted a spell.

return!

A warp magic circle was drawn on the floor, and the emitted light engulfed the five people.

* * *

King Cyprus of Harmonia sat at an angle at the top in his untidy pajamas.

The crown worn on his head was in danger of falling off, and the shadows under his eyes were proof of his tiredness.

"Ahhh~"

King Cyprus yawned loudly and spoke to the assembled ministers.

"So, what's going on?"

The king flicked his thick gold necklace and looked at the servant sitting right next to him.

Marquis Helm, the man with green emeralds in his ears, said with his big eyes drawing a half moon.

"The Master dispatched from the Kingdom of Seldam is arriving soon, Your Majesty."

okay? But why did you even call me?"

King Cyprus asked, scratching his tummy, visible under his tattered pajamas.

"Even if it bothers you, you have to go out to meet me."

What? why me?

"Because this is the situation we are asking for."

"Huh. Hello. Bring a drink."

The king had been looking for alcohol since early in the morning, but no one pointed it out.

The king did not even think about the body, and threw out the vulgar swear words.

"Shake. If it's Seldam, it's Seldam, why are you so rude to the king of a country?"

"We're also getting pissed off."

"Then why are you coming?"

"Isn't Sir Cyril killed by the Liberation Army?"

What? Cyril? Ah. It was, indeed. My memories come and go these days. But what kind of liberation army was it?"

"Those lowly things revolted against the grace of His Majesty Ha Hae."

"Tttttttt. You should be grateful just for letting me live on this earth, things like garbage. What does the military do? Without killing all the pests."

"That's why I asked the Seldam Kingdom for a Master."

Ah? Is that so? Jim didn't know. you may not know Isn't it?

"It is."

The seated servants all bowed their heads in unison and answered.

King Cyprus smiled broadly with his eyes wide open and drank the drink that was brought to him.

I didn't know what flavor it was because I had already lost my taste, but it didn't matter. I drink it because it makes me feel better.

The Marquis Helm spoke to the king of Cyprus, who was alone pouring his drink into a cup.

"So, I'd like to know what if we have the Master of Seldam, who is dispatched this time, hand over to us."

"Attract? Who is coming?"

"My name is Jamie Wellton."

"I think I heard it. Aren't you a genius, a genius. But why are you bringing him?"

"Because there will be a huge vacancy for Sir Cyril."

Hmm But aren't you young?

"I'm young, so I can't bring it, right? A child is weak to temptation."

"Heh heh heh! That's right."

Jamie Welton is 13 years old.

He became a full-fledged archmage beyond being promising, but he was still young.

Of course, compared to children of the same age, he would be much more mature, but even as a person grew older, he could not resist temptation.

If you were a 13-year-old, you didn't need any further explanation.

"Promise me the seat of the Grand Duke, and say that I will hand over the entire territory that Sir Cyril ruled. Then, no matter how clever a child is, he has no choice but to fall for it."

"Does Jim have to do that?"

"Because Sir Cyril's vacancy is too large."

is it?

Although the same words were repeated over and over again, Marquis Helm did not feel frustrated and answered every question with sincerity.

"Jamie Welton is going to be a huge mogul. He will become a great person who will be responsible for the future of Harmonia, so I believe that he will have to choose any means and methods."

"Heh heh. good, good Cyril was a troublemaker. Every day you nagging me to stop drinking."

That's right. The troublesome man is dead, so everything is according to Your Majesty's will... ."

"But unless Jamie Welton gets tangled up, there is no way Seldam will know this and sit still."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

The Marquis Helm called him softly.

"Count Fatal."

Neo Fatal, a man called Fatal, got up and offered advice to the king.

"If we fail to get Jamie Welton, we could completely lose the trust in Seldam for his friendship with Harmonia."

"Uh? I don't want to play with Seldam-

"I was taught that envoys from other countries should be treated with sincerity. Even though his target is young, he is the master and archmage of the northern hegemony. I don't think it can be judged by age alone.

"If I do, will the Count just say I'm wrong?"

"It's not that what the Marquis said was wrong, I was just saying that there is a lot of risk in the current situation."

"Then more and more Jamie Welton should be brought to Harmonia. Also, the proposals to be made here are by no means small."

"Jamie Welton is the eldest son of the Welton family. There is no reason to turn to Harmonia's estate. If things go wrong, even the rest of the people... ."

"Shut up!"

Marquis Helm interrupted Count Fatal and stared at him terrifyingly.

"I understand the Count's thoughts, but don't you know that my will is the same as taking care of the people's livelihood? And what's the livelihood? Your Majesty, I, and the nobles of this country must exist for the people to exist after all. People just stop following what we do. The Liberation Army are bugs that have failed to even follow."

"Isn't this country what it is today because of the ideology of the people who don't deserve it?"

"It's the people's idea You're funny. Then why do kings and nobles exist? To rule."

sire! Calm down! It is your Majesty, not the author, who should take care of the people's livelihood!

Marquis Helm and Count Fatal stared at each other.

The first to laugh was the marquis.

"I can't hear anything. Face the truth, Your Majesty."

reality. Yes, you have to face the reality."

Count Fatal sharpened his teeth and gave advice.

"You have to be careful because you have to face it."

"You mean, Your Majesty, bow down to Jamie Welton?"

But Marquis Helm smirked and accepted it.

"I don't mean that !"

"All right, all right. Helm is right. Who dares to bow down? Jim is the King of the Great Harmonia, King. heh heh Jamie Wellton? That guy has to bow down. cancer. Not like that."

"Stop getting up. Leave everything to me."

okay. I only believe in the marquis. Hiccup!"

King Cyprus, who had just finished the bottle, smiled drunkenly and nodded.

Count Fatal was at a loss for words at the sight of such a king.

And Marquis Helm looked at Neo as if he was happy and supported the king.

"You took a lot. Leave the government to me, and sleep for a while until Seldam's guests arrive."

"Heh heh heh, I get it."

When the two left, the other servants followed.

The Count, who was left alone, sat down without a word and clenched his fists.

My head was pounding.

The country that was shaking like a lamp just before it went out was none other than Harmonia.

But maybe they don't know the reality, they're just talking nonsense that doesn't work.

This is because they are ignoring the Liberation Army, which is made up of grassroots, by falling into the terrible idea of choosing people.

'no. It is because of the Marquis of Helm, his son, that the country has become this way.'

After the death of the previous king, Marquis Helm began to rapidly expand his influence.

The main culprit who expanded the sense of choice that the nobles of Harmonia originally had, and further corrupted the current king.

In fact, it was the Marquis of Helm who was in charge of rubbing Harmonia from behind.

The fact that a huge amount of tax was collected, that the people could not eat because of it, and that the number of people dying due to the tyranny of the nobles began to increase.

All after the Marquis Helm seized the real power.

Many loyalists risked their lives to offer advice, but King Cyprus, indulging in pleasure, closed his eyes and covered his ears.

And Marquis Helm defeated them one by one.

Only one Count Fatal remains.

Fortunately, the Fatal family's influence in Harmonia was not small, and there were many followers, so I was able to survive.

'I am also a lamp before the wind.'

How stagnant water rots.

The Count pondered those words.

* * *

Light was emitted from the roof of the tower of Khim, the capital of Harmonia.

It was the light of warp magic that started in Seldam.

Pickett, who came as the messenger and guide, got off first, and immediately told Jamie and the others.

Im here.

"Ugh ."

"I feel bad ."

As soon as they arrived, Lennon and Anne made painful voices, and Hera was not as good as the two, but their expressions were not good.

Seldam's warp also induces vomiting, but it was normal for warp magic triggered by scrolling to upset her stomach.

"Then why are you following me? ."

Jamie gave the three of them divine power to ease their stomachs.

Just then, the roof door opened and a series of hordes walked out.

They were wizards, led by a curvy old man with a rich gray beard and luxurious navy blue robes.

They seemed to be the top lords and high-ranking wizards of the Harmonia Mate.

However, he was wearing a bunch of accessories that didn't match.

As Jamie frowned, Pickett greeted the old man who appeared to be the top owner.

"I just arrived."

"You worked hard, Pickett. Your Majesty is coming here, so you may wait."

Okay.

Pickett greeted Jamie's party briefly and disappeared behind the mage's horde.

The old man, Matap Master Jakan, smiled and reached out to Jamie.

"Nice to meet you, Master of Seldam. I say that I am Jakan, the lord of Harmonia."

Jamie glanced at Zakhan, who introduced himself as Topju.

Earrings and necklaces encrusted with large jewels, and on their hands were not only artifacts, but rings studded with jewels.

Appearance was like that.

Because you have your own preferences.

What was important was his skill, and Zakhan was none other than the Archmage of Harmonia.

By the way.

'Is it at the level that only reached the 7th class?'

Of course, being an Archmage is a great thing, but even if you hit a lot of Zakhan in front of you, the mid-class 7th class seemed to be the limit.

This person is the lord of the tower.

The level of harmonia was clearly visible.

"This is Jamie Welton."

"I never expected to see the famous Sir Welton Jr. By the way, I heard that you are 13 years old this year, but you are very tall."

Zakhan tilted his head slightly in surprise.

Jamie was apparently about half a head taller than Zakhan.

haha. Truly the eldest son of the Welton family."

Thank you for the compliment.

"People behind him."

"The disciples and the secretary. I brought them here because I wanted to take a tour."

Excursions You mean?"

Zakhan looked at Jamie and the group with a frown on their faces.

I didn't come here to play, I asked for dispatch to help end the civil war, but it was a field trip of the disciples.

This was an act of disrespecting Harmonia, but the opponent was the master of the Seldam Kingdom.

And unlike his young age, no matter how much he looked at him, he wasn't a sewer than himself.

'The young man is cocky... .'

Zakhan was full of discomfort, but he smiled without showing it.

haha. Your Majesty will come soon. The Master of Seldam came and said he wanted to meet him personally."

i See.

"Shh, rest. Please guide me to the room."

Yes.

A wizard led them into a large room.

Zakhan looked at them as they moved away and murmured, grinding his teeth.

"It's cheeky. I don't think I'm too cheap because they praised me as a genius. To answer in front of an adult with your head upright and dry and dry."

Yes. He has the skills, but he lacks manners."

"There will definitely be bubbles in your skills. Aren't you supposed to be 13?

As soon as Jamie left the place, gossip began to appear here and there.

Zakan nodded too.

right. Originally, rumors are becoming more and more inflated. I've seen it myself, and I can tell. His talent is great, but he's just like me.

Zakhan himself knew that he was far superior to himself, but the magicians belonging to the tower didn't have that much insight.

Also!

"How many wizards in the world are better than the top lord?"

"Everyone, stop now, and your Majesty will be arriving soon, so get ready and get ready."

When his subordinate wizards believed a lie that he could not even think of, Zakhan, embarrassed, waved his hands and drove everyone away.

* * *

"It's pathetic."

Jamie snorted.

I was pathetic at the complacency of thinking that I could barely hear that voice on this street, and it was pathetic to instigate my incompetence with lies in front of my subordinates.

Also, the magicians of the mage tower who exalted and flattered such a top master with false emotions were pathetic.

It's just that Harmonia's horse tower was pathetic.

'At the same time, what is running around in the hallway?'

The paintings on the walls all seemed of high value, and the lantern decorations were pure gold.

Who in the world uses a lantern these days?

That was when Jamie was looking at luxuries that weren't even funny.

"Sir Welton Jr. can use this room, and his students and secretary can use any nearby room."

We arrived at our room to stay for a while.

Jamie thanked the guide.

"Thank you."

"Then rest in peace."

As the guide left the room, each went into their assigned room.

Jamie simply unpacked and looked around the room.

It was a luxuriously decorated room.

I don't know why the tower needs such a room, but it seems that Jamie gave it to him to come.

"Why are there so many more expensive decorations?"

The hallways were also decorated with meaningless and expensive items.

Is it the taste of the mage?

'He was also wearing a bunch of jewels.'

I didn't like it.

The Magic Tower is a space to study magic.

And the money used to research magic was absolutely not small.

It is far better to spend it as a research fund than to invest in such meaningless luxury.

I don't know if Harmonia is a very rich country, but as far as I know, he even issued bonds to the western countries and was in debt.

It was not for no reason that he requested the dispatch of the Master by handing over a national treasure to Seldam in the north, not a neighboring country, as a reward.

"I think I understand why Your Majesty has delegated such powers."

Act according to the will of the dispatched Master.

Jamie remembered the command and sat down on the bed.

After a while.

"Your Majesty the King has delivered you."

The King of Harmonia has arrived.

Jamie patted her head back and stood up.

"Shall we see where, how much rot?"
