Chapter 203

Chapter 203. The result of printing and the new era

(3) “It would be right to give some power to an ordinary bracelet.”

“....grant? Isn't that magic?”

Perhaps my older brother thought of something like enchantment magic.

He also learned simple magic, so he seems to have come up with an idea that far.

sorry that's the wrong answer

“No mana was detected in this.”

That is the basis for confidence.

“...And being able to exert this kind of power without using mana.”

“Is that why you want to say Seongguk?”

“yes.”

I'm almost 80% sure that this is something from the Holy Land.

They say that Nelvenia, the saintess of the Holy Land, can use magic and other powers.

or holy water. see through the past or receive a revelation.

“I think she makes one or two of these things simple.”

“You don’t understand one thing.”

The oldest brother frowned as if he was perplexed.

“Obviously this is an amazing thing. I'm sure this would be a great threat if used in a war.”

It is magic and even bounces off auras.

It's questionable whether mass production is possible, but even if it isn't, it'll be troublesome.

“Why is this going around the country?”

In general, if you're going to use something like this as a weapon, it's common sense to hide it and not show it as much as possible.

I guess that doesn't make sense.

At first I wondered what this was.

After seeing the latest trends, I was convinced.

“It’s a trick.”

“eyewash?”

This bracelet is just a fake.

To turn our attention to this.

It is a trick to make people conscious of the existence of this and struggling to come up with countermeasures.

“Cheating your eyes is... that’s right. That's why you're sure....

My older brother isn't that bad at understanding.

If I say 100, I know about 30.

It's better than most nobles who can't understand even 3 even if I say 100.

“Are you using this as bait to think they’re plotting something?”

“yes.”

That's natural.

Otherwise, there is no way to spread this level of tools in Korea just for gimmick.

Anyway, I already knew that the Zelnian Holy Kingdom longed for an invasion from the Kingdom of Ernesia to a strange degree.

Even if the Merman Empire is aiming for the pride of the past, why do they go so far with their doctrines?

I'm still figuring it out

The important thing anyway is that the fight will happen in the end.

And this only gave them additional reassurance that they were plotting in earnest.

My older brother also understood the meaning, and his expression hardened seriously.

To sprinkle something like this as bait.

That there is something to treat this as bait.

I have no choice but to take it seriously.

Now, he must have thought of the possibility of a real war.

“...What do you think you’re up to?

Do you have any guesses?”

“I do not know.”

I honestly replied that I didn't know.

I'm not even a god.

It's hard to see through everything with just this amount of clues.

Actually, the only thing flying is the bracelet, so I would read that it would flow roughly like this, but I don't know more than that yet.

Exactly what Seongguk was going to do was not yet clear.

Even that saintess would understand if we met and talked to her again.

I won't meet you any more.

I don't even want to see her face to face again.

They are a pro-Leonil faction that supports Leonil Ernesia.

Most of them are factions made up of young upstart nobles rather than influential ones.

It would be more accurate to say that the aristocrats, whom Dezel Pratze did not dare to harbor, were dissatisfied and united.

“In the end, the crown passed to His Highness.”

“...That’s right.”

“Then, His Highness Leonil...

“Be careful with your words.”

When someone else pointed it out, he sighed and shut his mouth.

A heavy silence fell.

All eyes were focused on one place.

At the head of the table, Leonil himself had a very stern expression on his face, and when the nobleman who made a mistake was restless, he opened his mouth in displeasure.

“...that’s all right. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said.”

“sorry.”

In fact, the horse is Leonil's faction, and there was no such thing as odds for them in the first place.

First of all, the late King Theonel had already made a firm declaration several years ago that the next throne would be passed on to Jeil.

And most of his subjects could not help but understand his decision.

It must be because there is a history of tragedy in the past after fierce bloody battles between brothers over the throne.

More than anything else, Theonel himself must have seen such a tragedy, so he thought it couldn't be repeated.

Accordingly, the next throne was firmly decided from the beginning so that no tragedy would occur between the brothers.

But on the other hand, there are those who understand the meaning.

There are also a bunch of people like them who just don't understand.

“I couldn’t stop it after all.”

“...it wasn’t easy.”

Everyone flinched as if stabbed by one person's point of fact.

I don't know if there's a problem with the best, but that's not it either.

In terms of personality and achievements, there is nothing to be regretted for succeeding the next throne.

In addition, those who have all the powers and powers of powerful nobles, centered on Dezel, are all supporting Jeil.

On the other hand, this side is commonly referred to as the things that fell away while aiming for power.

Of course, there is no way to be a political opponent.

Everything, as Theonel intended, the policy of firmly deciding a successor from the beginning was a success.

However, those who do not know the meaning will not know until the end.

It can't be helped that their dissatisfaction deepens as much as they are foolish.

“...If at least His Highness Arel stepped forward and gave it to me.”

He gritted his teeth as if in resentment.

In fact, Theonel's firm policy was also important, but it was the attitude of the third prince, Arell, that dealt the decisive blow to the number one support for the throne.

For some reason, Arel supported Jeil from the beginning.

As if he had no interest in the throne from the beginning, Arel expressed his intention to support only his work transparently.

If he had secretly been greedy for power, the situation would have been somewhat different.

It's a ridiculous assumption, but there were quite a few people who really thought that.

“Why does he not want the throne?”

They all had similar questions.

But the day will never come when they understand Arel's true intentions.

Leonil, who had been listening to the murmur of supporters for a while, finally hit the table with his palm as if he would not listen to it anymore.

It was only then that the mouths of the aristocrats, who had been talking wildly, fell silent.

“...that’s all right. After all, it must mean that you are worthy to inherit the throne.”

He willingly decided to accept this result.

“One?...”

“Is it dissatisfaction?”

“no.”

When Leonil frowned, the nobles quickly lowered their heads and averted their eyes.

‘Who would have thought that he wouldn't understand that?'

They are pretending to be concerned while pretending to support themselves.

However, in the end, the power goes to the supporters of the first, and it is nothing more than a stomach ache.

‘It's not that I don't think anything of it.'

Although he tries not to reveal it as much as possible, Leonil also had a lot of personal thoughts about the decision to take the throne.

even before you were born.

The throne was already supposed to be passed on to his older brother.

Because of that fact alone, no one will understand what kinds of emotions have crossed over the past years, except for the person himself.

He almost unknowingly clenched his fist, but managed to get his strength back when he was conscious of his surroundings.
