Chapter 196

[ Episode 196. Talent realization]

“This is fun.”



These were the first words Salem uttered upon seeing Noah.

When he ran into Noah, he put on an interesting expression, as if he noticed something right away.

“Do you know as soon as you see it?”

“Who do you think I am?”

It’s arrogant, but it was something that Salem could have said enough.

Because he was a Continental 10 and a warlock class warlock.

“Is this the person who will heal me?”

Noah was just calmly accepting the situation.

Seeing her like that, Salem smiled evilly.

“Hehe. I brought you something very interesting. As expected, Adrias, you are a good guy.”

“Noah is not a test subject. Please treat me.”

“Well then. Don’t worry.”

For some reason, Salem waved his hand, saying something that I couldn’t believe.

After coming out of his order to celebrate, I soon headed back to the main building.

Coincidentally, the main building was distracted by the news of the Fall of the Valley of Weeping that had just been heard, but Vivian and Ivy were together like a sack of barley.

“We need to contact Florence Merchant! And the top of Everlast! Didn’t you hear from the Everlast Merchant?”

“A message will come from the imperial palace soon! We must prepare in advance!”

“How’s the stock of war materials going? Are you ready as planned?”

A scene resembling a battlefield was unfolding.

Numerous employees moved in an orderly manner, with Amy and her secretary Maria leading the way.

“Adrias.”

Vivian, who happened to find me, called.

As I approached them, Amy looked at me and said,

“Brother’s situation is serious.”

“I guess so.”

“I’m sure it’s not. Now, this isn’t an expedition to the north, it’s an all-out war. The word expedition was dropped and it literally became a war.”

She bit her nails and spoke again.

“The Empire will start conscription, not recruitment.”

“Amy. Follow me for a second.”

I waved to her and went into the empty drawing room.

Amy, who followed me, couldn’t hide her anxiety, like someone suffering from a nervous breakdown.

“Now look. think carefully. Amy, do you think the Empire will lose?”

“no.”

“Then why are you so anxious because you are so patriotic?”

“......no.”

“It is the current emperor who caused the downfall of our family. It’s rather good when the empire’s power is weakened. Even if the people are innocent, we can’t care about that.”

I looked straight into her eyes.

“Do what you can. Keep only what you can keep. It doesn’t matter what your surroundings are like. I only care about your people.”

“.......”

“Rather, think of it as an opportunity and use it tenaciously. As much as the profit you make, you will save people in the end. If it weren’t for us, they might be the ones who would have gone to the battlefield naked.”

“ha.”

Amy sighed and regained her composure.

Then he nodded.

“You’ve changed a lot, bro.”

“I am figuring out the subject.”

“is it? It’s not like that, but I said it like a person who has no blood or tears.”

“I am not an idealist. I know my abilities and I just know the best I can. From that point of view, you might be more helpful than me in this war.”

There is nothing better to raise the tide than a war you already know will happen.

Although it is a war against the northern barbarians, there is nothing to eat even if you win, but surely someone will lose and someone will benefit.

Among them, he had to swallow the domain of the family that had suffered damage.

To withstand the storms that will come, we must prepare a solid wall in advance.

“If you take this opportunity to grow and start trading with the elves right away, it will probably grow to the point where you can’t touch it before anyone else can check it. If that happens, getting Cromwell back will be solved in an instant.”

“Cromwell...”

Amy nodded.

I tapped her on the shoulder, believing that she would be able to do it well.

Besides, there are monsters by her side now, so there’s no need to worry.

“Is your brother okay? Are you being dragged away or something like that?”

“The Empire won’t lose to barbarians. I was a bit careless this time and the fortress was breached, but you know how much power the empire has.”

It’s definitely ‘flawless’, but the feeling is different.

It was cutting the space itself, not the texture.

“Ha.......”

It didn’t actually contain space because it didn’t carry mana, but my swordsmanship genius was able to read the intent from the sword he wielded.

And it wasn’t just me who noticed.

“Are you really Maximin Cronell?!”

“The space is split.”

It was the impression of the two seeing Maximin’s sword.

“You must have found your own way now, so I have nothing else to tell you. It just gives you direction.”

After those words, Maximin changed the sword in various ways and swung it again.

It didn’t have the same impact as the first time, but it was enough inspiration.

“You have to know how to pick and use the tools. Let me emphasize again that in the end, you are the one using it.”

After that, he walked out of the gymnasium as if nothing had happened.

Ivy seemed to want to grab him with an itchy expression, but couldn’t muster up the courage.

Her choice was mine after all.

“Is that person Maximin Cronell?”

“no.”

“What is not! With his swordsmanship and his unique short sword, if that is not Maximin Cronell, then who is Maximin?”

“Why is Maximin Cronell in my house?”

I was just ignorant.

I’m not, but can I?

Rather than that, I imitated the sword that Maximin had just swung.

It was surprisingly easy to follow.

‘Is this so...’

The space split.

It was a very minor level and meaningless, but it seemed like it would be a terrible weapon if you fully mastered it.

“Wow...”

Vivian blankly looked at the sword I was wielding.

And Ivy frowned.

“Are you doing it all at once?”

“yes? A prototype is a swordsmanship that I originally knew.”

Although it has been transformed, it is not wrong to say that the original form is ‘flawless’.

“Are you kidding me? I have eyes too. The first sword technique he wielded a moment ago must have been yours, right?”

“That’s right.”

“The second one I swung was transformed.”

“Exactly.”

Ivy rubbed her forehead and made an expression of pain in her head.

“But you did it all at once, didn’t you?”

“It was easy to follow because I knew the prototype.”

“Do not joke. If it were easy, no one would suffer. Aren’t you aware of what you’ve done?”

What the hell am I doing to get so hot?

I just scratched my head and swung my sword again.

“The swordsmanship I originally knew......”

He wielded flawlessness, but changed his intention by accepting Maximin’s advice.

From cutting the texture to cutting the space...

No, I just tore it up because I wasn’t very delicate. The sound

of

the air ripping was heard, and the place where the sword had passed trembled in an instant.

“It’s that easy.”

for a moment.

I was overlooking it because it was so obvious, but my swordsmanship talent was a genius.

Do you feel it is natural to be a genius? Is this really difficult?

“Crazy.”

In the end, Ivy, who was watching, said something.

It seemed like a difficult task.

“I wondered how a wizard could be so good at swords, but he was a perfect fit for his nickname.”

And then he added a word.

“You monster.”

“I will take it as a compliment.”

I must have become a real genius.
