127 The settlement comes at the end of the tunnel (4)

"Nothing can escape his eyes if it actually happened. Melchior, you know what I'm doing."

Clayo nodded bitterly.

Why would the prince appear to encourage the Kishion?

"Sullan, if he knew anything, he would have hung me from the neck, but he's pretending he doesn't know. I don't know why you're doing that.”

Arthur breathed a long sigh as usual when referring to Melchior.

But Clayo had a point.

"Melkior wants to interfere with the proceedings. It's not in the last manuscript that Arthur made a soldier at that age, so shouldn't we wait and see? He thinks he can use it his way if he's good... We can do this like this. It's the best if you're both in a dog fight.’

"That's why I didn't want you to know yet. Melchior isn't a man who's guilty of things he doesn't know."

"Hey, I think you forgot something, your brother's skill doesn't work for me. I didn't care if you told me or not."

"He has about a hundred ways to accomplish his will without skill!"

"You were the one who dragged me in. You thought you'd just dip your feet in it?”

"No, at least I was going to let you know after graduation. Even if something happens to me now, I don't have a plan. I didn't want you to be in the same boat under the North Gate."

Clayo crumpled his brow.

How often did you think about that, and naturally, the stories of torture come out?

Why are there so many risks? A single step will bring a thousand miles to the ground, for real.'

"And you and the others? A subdued car is like a wizard or a knight, but what's the difference?"

"You don't have any stamina or a mill. I'm scared that I'm going to lose my breath in five minutes just by hanging on to the torture chamber."

"Why are you afraid of me when I'm dying?"

In other words, I was more afraid of the main character, who was determined to be tortured or sentenced to death.

"What am I doing? I'm dying. Isn't the result one thing? The world will be ruined if he goes through it anyway.’

It was such a dangerous situation that the author felt anxious.

"…you are the wizard of prophecy."

"Well, if you've got the Wizard of Prophecy, you've got to make good use of it, so you won't be caught by your brothers, will you?"

Of course, I don't like to suffer.

However, it is also undesirable for the main character to make a wrong choice due to his weak mind.

The development is running as if it's been loosened, and he's in a position to take care of the wizard's safety.

"But I have a hunch that if you get hurt by something like this, something is going to be ruined!

Isn't it you, not me, that's the sign of the prediction. What's going to fail if I get hurt? Are you sure you're all up against me?

"That's right. Oh! Listen. Ray, when you first knew who I was, you were using the skills of predictive scar in the hallways of the dean's office, right?

Clayo's heart ached at Arthur's words.

"Why do you mention it all of a sudden?"

"Think about it later, maybe he was trying to avoid it because he knew it would be dangerous to be with me....”

They were precisely at the heart of the story. Clayo gave a cold answer and hid my heart.

"So."

Arthur thundered his head with both hands and screamed like a brute.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You don't want to inherit the family or change the election law, but you can't just risk your life to someone who asks for a title.”

"Well, a few months ago, you were killing me. I didn't talk much because I was trying to protect her. Which rhythm do you want me to play?"

"…that was right after Melchior had swept over the Kishion self-rule, which seemed the best judgment in the situation. I'm sorry."

Arthur bowed his head with a solemn face.

She must have been in pain, too.

Clayo himself is one of Arthur's few friends.

He made up his mind because he couldn't give the scary monster a future level 8 wizard, and it would be true that he didn't want to die more than anyone else.

'It's good to readily admit your mistake. It's a quality that most bosses don't have.'

But an apology is an apology and truth is the truth.

Clayo opened his eyes without hesitation to open up the function of his once-used "promises."

[Ether Activation] It was a function "appropriateness judgment" that was used to determine the legal diet.

It was a function to dissipate 95% of the ether in the body at once, but I thought it was not the time to hesitate.

Even the sunset glowed in the dark of the early evening.

Judgment of Appropriateness

You can determine whether an issue is true, false, or appropriate.

*CAUTION: 95% of the body's ether is temporarily consumed when using the function.]

[- Do you want to use Determining Appropriateness?]

Clay asked Arthur again.

"It's done. Tell me more if you have a hunch that you're coming."

replied Arthur.

"You know, I had a hunch that you'd be somewhere higher. It's unfair of you to be persecuted, and I'm so sure that if that happens, it's going to be twisted, and I'm not! That's it. I didn't hide it because there was something behind it."

[- The answer has been proved true by the Appropriateness Judgment.]

At that moment, a huge amount of ether spread out as if it were turning off underfoot.

I felt the pain of stabbing my temples due to lack of ether.

Clayo clenched his teeth to avoid revealing the pain.

"It sounds like a wonderful feeling for my safety, but the truth is that you didn't know exactly what the author had set up with that beastly feeling like an animal.’

Arthur noticed in the form of a "prediction" that the author gave Clayo the authority to correct the work.

Only when you don't know the specific circumstances do you look at it like that, but if you know the truth that all of this is nothing but the author's eye, you won't come out as low as you are now.

'Wow, I'm not gonna let you know.’

Clay, who pretended to look at the terrace and turned his back on gas, wiped the sweat off his forehead to avoid Arthur's eyes.

"…that's why you thought you'd drag someone into the dungeon.”

"I wouldn't have done it if it hadn't been for Thalan to take Kishion's own initiative. I'm terribly sorry. Because I'm still lacking, I put you and the other kids in danger.”

"No, that's not your fault. It's because your second brother's temper is extraordinary."

"The second verse of the prophecy, about the princes' war, still I don't know what it is. Who in the world would fight to turn the capital into a sea of fire?"

"It's a fight that turns the capital into a sea of fire? Did you see him in the city?”

Without realizing it, Clayo's voice grew.

'What, you know most of the major incidents. You're almost a regressionist.’

"Yes, it's sweet, but it's as vivid as the heat."

"I'm going to ruin my country by fighting with my brothers."

Arthur, who wrapped his head in both hands, put his head in his lap.

"Wow, you're right. The father, he stabbed himself, but I don't know why he had three children.”

Clayo's idea was a little different.

"They may have seen several children from different opponents because they killed themselves. Madness is the inheritance of the royal family.’

"By the way, Ray, you didn't tell me something either, did you?”

There were one or two things I didn't tell Arthur, so I didn't know what he was picking on.

"What."

"You, I could see the weaknesses of the beasts with my eyes as clearly as I could in the 'remembered space'. It's not like you can enhance your eyesight with ether like prosecutors. I thought you would have the ability to observe as well as prediction. Am I wrong?”

He seemed to have sensed that he was late.

And it was one of the minor axes on the long list of things Clayo didn't tell Arthur.

Fortunately, the room was dark, and Clay gave a shallow sigh of relief.

"Yes, I was born with Ether detection. Of course it's not a scar."

According to the literature, there were very rarely people born with natural Ether detection skills.

"It's supposed to be a trend for prosecutors above level 3 to measure the skills of a senior prosecutor they face because they feel something, what do you know?’

"Understanding" from "Promise" only sends out an accurate level message when the opponent causes ether.

Clayo said that when he looked around, ordinary Ether respondents could perceive their level as if they were in his head.

In the absence of ether, it was only identified whether the opponent was a knight, a wizard, or a senior or an intermediate, similar to [ether detection].

"Wow, that's great. It's half the battle. If you can learn the sword, the first machete in history....”

"Are you kidding me? You've seen me run on the field because I can't hold a sword."

"Just in case."

"One of your colleagues was a prosecutor, but I'll leave my hands empty."

"Hey! Ray!"

"Why?"

"Did you just say you were my colleague!"

[—user intervention in narrative increases dramatically.]

Clay flinched visibly at the appropriate and inappropriate message of appointment.

"Maybe it's because you're being pushed out, but you're really picking your own people.’

"Then I'm on your side. Whose side would I be on? It's been a while since I showed you my father's letter."

Arthur gave a bright, lively smile, as if he could light up the dark room.

She looked so bright that she felt uncomfortable to face.

"It really hit me when I heard it with your mouth, which was not motivated at all the time. It's a completely different matter for me to regard you like that and for yourself!"

"Now I'much. And I still don't have the will."

"…you don't regret it, do you? All this will be too much of a burden for you....”

"You've already come too far to say that, haven't you?" Don't forget that I'm going to give you a seat in the House of Lords."

"Oh, come on! If I have authority one day, I'll make you the first to do it. It's number zero!"

"I look forward to it."

***

Then until the day of his appointment with Dionne, he lay with Behemoth, forgetting what he had brought from home.

The behemoth, lazy to inspect the area due to the cold weather, began to mingle with Clayo and melt into the bed.

Clayo didn't want to take his back off the bed unless he was eating, but he worked quite hard on ether management.

We need to widen the bowl when we have a chance to prevent it from collapsing whenever we use magic.

Most of all, it's good that you can manage the ether while lying down.’

Frankly speaking, I was never a diligent person.

Clayo was able to spend two days without leaving the bed on weekends when he had no extra work in the world.

"If I wasn't diligent, I would be on the street, so I just worked hard.’

But even if the world goes bankrupt tomorrow, he now has real estate. No matter how lazy you are, you will never starve to death.

Even if I did it, I would eat and sleep and roll around, and if I was tired of the Ether cycle, I would read the provisions of the Capital Defense Corps or related laws.

Meanwhile, time flew by.

Saturday afternoon.

Jebedi went to the dormitory himself, looked at Clayo, and allowed him to go out with a loving look.

Sunday noon.

Dionne, who met in the unrecognisably well-organized area of O'Reillys, was wearing a hat.

As usual, it was the same for his stylish clothes and perfect appearance, but his eyes were swollen under his wide-brimmed hat.

"What happened, Lady Dior?"

Dionne, who tilted down the umbrella, answered in a hoarse voice, as if his eyes were cold.

"Oh, don't even talk. "I cried all night long until dawn, and my head still echoes."

"Any toilet in the house...?”

"You're the only one in the family that won't kill you. Why would you cry? No, the extra version was released yesterday. I was so sad while reading the novel... My lord."

"I've never heard of it, but it's quite touching… I guess it's about it."

Clayo, who stepped down without realizing Dionne, thought.

"I can't believe that such a good-looking wizard and asset manager had such a deep sense of virtue in his heart....’

Come to think of it, even when we first met during summer vacation, the new Clayo, who was busy sweeping new books at the bookstore, was able to go to the bank.

There must have been no super fanatics who could not recognize the reality in the 19th century. The readers of the 19th century were all trying to save Holmes from falling from Leichenbach.

"It's the heyday of the publishing industry, so it's time for publishing to be lucrative. The number of readers is increasing, novels are sold worldwide....’

Dionne made a fuss in front of Clayo, who was caught in a real-life crisis by a former government official.

"You don't know? Look, it's a hit on the window of a bookstore in the corner of the O'Really?

The place Dionne pointed to was a bookstore on the corner of the street. In the middle of the cleaned show window, there was a yellow suit written with .

"It's the series that's been the talk of the town these days. Is it your first time hearing the name? The opera is opening next week. Whew! Don't just look at the magic and read some books, too!"

"Yes…."

If I had heard that I was reading too many books that I couldn't use in my life, it was Clayo who had never heard of not reading.

I just have to laugh awkwardly.

"By the way, I guess that bookstore hasn't been opened for long. The sign and the glass are all brand new."

"Clean shops are a good indicator. It's proof that the Australian Earth is completely changing. Oh, while I'm here, I'll buy it for you, take it."

Dionne's spirit led him to look around a small bookstore that had just opened on the corner of the new sidewalk. Ahn was also neat and the young owner was kind.

It was a change that could not be considered as a neighborhood where only one bar and cafe was barely open a few months ago.

Beyond the bookstore show window was a hotel construction site.

Originally, it took more than three years to clean the ground and set up the infrastructure, but there was a magic in this world.

I heard that the government and military wizards were mobilized regardless of ministry, as the royal court is also making all-out efforts to build the Lundane East Station.

On the site on the side that Catarina did not rent, the fountain was placed in the middle, and the tree looked very plausible.

Looking at the completely transformed Oregon Earth in those months, one idea or another came to mind.

"When the war is over, you can put up a shopping mall there." When the station opens, the floating population will increase. No, even if it's short, would it be better to create an arcade?’

Catarina was the child of the hospitality industry, and if her profits were good, land use fees would also be raised.

The bill is up.

"I can recover some harnesses when I can afford them, and I can dispose of some Mana Stone. If Arthur works hard for a few years until he becomes king, he'll probably raise a building even if he doesn't attract investment.’
