Chapter 22: A new role.

[Purification of water...]

[Almost complete.]

[Do you want the Purification to cover all range and route or only specific areas?]

'All routes obviously.'

[Understood.]

[I will begin the Purification. Warning, a huge amount of mana is needed for a successful outcome.]

'Take as much as you want.'

As soon as Ha Joon replied, the water before him began to take on a blue glow. At first it was just underneath his hand, but th it began to spread, gradually covering the whole river, wells, taps, and so on.

Those who watched from behind had no sse of joy or excitemt. They had se the same display of magic from the other mages, chances of Ha Joon being the one to make it work were slim to them.

It took about five minutes of constant flow of magic from Ha Joon for the purification process to finally come to a stop.

The river was huge, the main water source to all of Camelot; it wasn't a shock that a huge amount of mana was needed.

Merlin nervously gripped her arm a bit, being the great mage that she was, she could clearly tell Ha Joon was pushing himself to the limit. But she couldn't afford to break character in front of everyone.

Ev Artoria, although not knowing much about magic, was fighting off the urge to stop Ha Joon, the little painful groans he was letting out was slowly making her rethink everything.

'Fucking hell, feels like my muscles are being ripped apart. Are you not done?!' Ha Joon groaned, falling down to both knees.

"Traveler!" Merlin and Artoria called out before immediately covering their mouths.

Finally,

[Purification has be completed.]

"Citizs of Camelot," she began, her voice steady and resolute, "you stand here today, witnesses to a feat among us thought possible. A man, not of our land, has done what ev our greatest mages could not. He has purified the water that sustains our lives."

She paused, letting the weight of her words sink in.

"And yet, in your ignorance and fear, you dare to brand him a wizard? Do you think so little of the one who risked his life, who pushed beyond his limits to save us all from a curse that has plagued us for too long?"

Artoria's eyes narrowed, her tone sharping. "Do not mistake your fear for wisdom. The Traveler has prov his strgth and loyalty not only through this act but through his every deed since his arrival. You accuse him of witchcraft, but it is your minds that are clouded by darkness. This man is no wizard. He is the savior of Camelot."

She took a step closer to the crowd, her voice rising with authority.

"As your king, I will not allow baseless accusations to tarnish the honor of one who has done so much for our kingdom. Ha Joon Kim is not only a hero but from this momt on, also the Prime Minister of Camelot. Anyone who dares to question his loyalty or his place among us will answer to me."

The crowd wt silt, while most were because of the shocking news, others were simply surprised that the ever so closed King raised her voice.

'Ohohohoho, way to go girl... I knew pretding to be the weak and all would turn out profitable in the d. Shi, I could probably do the same purification to 50 over rivers like this and not feel a thing, but as they say, it's the thoughts that count.'

Ha Joon, looked to the side, there he could see the shocking expression on Lancelot's face, and not just him, but the nobles had the same look on their faces.

The reason was pretty obvious.

Whether it was accidtal or not, The King herself had just announced that The Traveler would now be the new prime minister.

Someone who was had powerful ruqual

Such a thing was unheard of in Camelot. Ev Merlin who was Artoria's royal advisor and mtor was a bit shocked at the revelation, although it didn't seem like she was against it.

'Finally, I can be ready assured. With this position, it will make it easier for me to help the country. She really did think this through'.

[A new quest has be issued.]

[ Quest 'Stabilizing economy' ]

[Objective: The economy is the backbone of a kingdom. Help Camelot raise in its Economical faction.]

'You motherfucke-'.
