The Bastard of the Famous Magic Family Became the Prince of the Enemy Country

In the dark basement, people wearing white masks gathered.

The lights were so dim that I couldn’t see anything except the mask.

“Is it true that all the lands of the Matu have been cleansed?”

“Yes, I am sure.”

The man who heard the report changed his mask and let out a quiet voice.

Unlike the others, his mask had a red pattern engraved on it.

It was a sign that he had a higher status than the others here.

“Did you notice our presence?”

“The atmosphere was nothing different from usual, so I don’t think it’s like that.”

“Then did you just call an outsider and solve it secretly?”

“Tsk.”

The man with the red pattern clicked his tongue in regret.

This is because the plan to discredit the kingdom and the strong demons using the fact that they are an exclusive people ended in failure.

‘It’s unfortunate.’

It was an idea because there is a way to use your hands in two places.

If it worked out well, it could have been connected to a war.

“It’s a pity, it would have been easier to move if things had gone according to plan.”

“Other news to keep an eye on is the move of the 2 princes.”

“It was noisy these days about building new roads. What else is going on?”

“It seems that they are doing this and that to increase Ireland’s self-sufficiency.”

The man with the red pattern was in trouble.

It was adjacent to the royal capital and close to the habitat of monsters, so I kept an eye on it.

“What specifically are you doing there?”

“They said they would develop a large-scale magic stone supply center by developing the area near the mountain range.”

“… … Hmm.”

It wasn’t very good news to develop a place that could be used later when the Sigvarda continent was overturned.

If you do this, your defenses will be thicker, and even if the monster goes berserk, you will be easily subdued.

“What do you want? Shall we move?”

“… … No, not yet.”

It’s been five years since I fled to the Sigvarda continent, but I haven’t found them yet.

I thought it would take a long time.

I didn’t know that I wouldn’t be able to find one after coming over to the Sigvarda Continent.

‘I need to find these to be able to revive again… … .’

While the red-patterned man was immersed in his thoughts, another believer presented his opinion.

“Why don’t we send someone for now? In such a way, after a private inspection, if you can interfere, do it.”

“That’s fine.”

Whatever it was, I needed to figure out how things were going.

It’s good if you can get in the way.

“If I am confident that I will not be caught, I will permit the action.”

“Yes, Bishop.”

* * *

Unlike usual, Ireland was crowded with many people.

They were all wearing uniforms bearing the Rothstein family crest.

The amount of supplies that followed caught the attention of all residents.

“The real Rothstein technicians are here… … .”

These were the words of a citizen who was watching.

Recently, the atmosphere in Ireland was bloody.

It is one of the places where we see the most damage from road construction, but the person who executed it was the 2nd prince.

Most of them thought that there was no future here.

“Aren’t all the rumors floating around true? If true, that would be a good thing.”

“It’s not at the level of a good person. It means that the city is developing tremendously.”

But two days after the 2 princes come to the city.

Strange rumors began to circulate within the territory.

It was that he was trying to develop the city by investing an enormous amount of manpower and money.

He said he would create an environment in which manastones could be supplied and supplied on a large scale.

“Does it seem true? There are rumors that poor Cruz has revealed his ambition for the throne.”

“Well, then, wouldn’t this be the one that benefits the most?”

“Since it is the land of the lower classes, you will catch each one and raise them.”

“But with such sudden development, can you handle the inundation of monsters?”

“That’s why the Illami family is providing troops for a while.”

“oh my god… … .”

This was not the end of the support coming to Ireland.

The next day and the day after that, support from the Rothstein family and the upper ranks continued to come in.

As if in response to this, more than usual people flocked to the city of Ireland, which was truly spectacular.

“It looks good.”

As I watched the scene, I couldn’t help but smile.

Of course, the atmosphere of the city, which had been bloody a few days ago, was excited like a festival.

I couldn’t help but feel good because I was able to lay my foundation without any external pressure.

“Hey, I think we can go now.”

I turned my attention to Alan’s calling.

He had come with the Rothsteins’ technicians to act as a link.

His role was to convey ideas he came up with after discussing them with Liam to the engineer.

If there was a problem or a better idea among them, Alan would tell me again.

“I’m a little excited at the thought of showing you the results of my training.”

“Is that enough?”

“Yes, thanks to you, I barely reached 5 stars yesterday.”

Now that the regular schedule was over, I was moving to catch monsters with Alan.

I was responding to the words that I wanted to show the results of my training.

There was no reason for me to refuse, as I also needed practical experience with newly acquired mental magic.

“I’ll look at your level today and tell you how to train next.”

“Yes, lower. You will be surprised that I am not the old me.”

The road to the adjacent mountain range was quite busy.

Engineers investigating the site, people watching.

And the mercenaries who want to know the specific situation are intertwined.

“Isn’t that poor Cruz?”

“I really am.”

“I have to say hello… … .”

The problem is that everyone recognized me, so I went outside, but it took more time than expected.

It was because there were many technicians, as well as many people who wanted to get acquainted with me.

“Nice to meet you all. But I have business, so I want you to clear the way.”

“Cow, I’m sorry, low.”

“It’s okay, let’s shake hands.”

“Come on, everyone who wants to shake hands, please line up. Do not block the road.”

… … I don’t know if it’s because of Alan’s tidying up, but somehow the atmosphere became like a handshake event.

Still, it was better than just passing by in a crowded or desolate way.

After breaking through such a crowded crowd, a mountain road came out.

“It’s definitely different from the Roman Mountains.”

“Because it’s a place where no one’s hands have been touched.”

He said this because there was no grass blocking his view or that the road was somewhat maintained.

“People in the family say that the maintenance area will be greatly expanded and the monster guidance device will also be increased.”

“I did listen to the explanation. Demons, like animals, don’t show themselves on overly well-maintained roads.”

“Yes, so expanding this facility is not an ordinary task.”

It meant that it was not that easy to blindly develop a place where many monsters live.

This means that the monsters that reacted to the guidance device are flocking to it.

Development also meant that it would soon become a more dangerous place than usual.

A stable supply of magic stones was only possible when the power to prepare for such a situation was prepared at all times.

“They said that it’s a habitat for blue horses, so if you succeed in establishing a spot, it’ll be of great value.”

Among the four types of monsters, the most welcome was the third strongest blue horse.

It’s not difficult to deal with it unless it’s a situation that comes in droves like before.

The value of the magic stone was also good.

Of course, the magic stone value of the monsters on the upper row is higher.

Considering the degree of risk, the blue horse has the best profitability.

“It just showed up.”

It must have been about 10 minutes since I walked around looking around.

I could see a blue horse roaming nearby.

It was a beast-man monster characterized by the eerie teeth attached to its long snout and claws like blades.

Because we approached slowly while paying attention to our surroundings, it seemed that they hadn’t noticed our existence yet.

“I will go first.”

There was a lot of confidence in Alan’s words.

When I was in the Roman Mountains, I had to do my best to catch a single blue horse.

I was looking forward to seeing how Alan, who had trained so far, would change.

Since he had risen to the top, he must have become stronger than before, but it was not an easy opponent for Alan, who lacked combat experience.

Fighting!

Alan, who had settled down, shot out the wind.

A blow of wind that focuses on condensation and ejection.

Right before the magic reached the blue horse, the monster reacted to it and quickly evaded it, then stared at Alan.

“―――!!”

The blue horse made a lifelike roar and charged without hesitation.

In response, Alan did not back down and fired the same magic one after another.

Do-do-do-do-do!

The magic that was manifested by overlapping the application techniques poured down fiercely.

I could see with my own eyes that not only power, but also speed and accuracy had all improved to an incomparable level.

A continuation of pressure that increases the magic activation speed by overlapping the magic formula.

Thanks to that, the blue horse was hardly able to close the distance with Alan.

“■■■■■――!”

The movement of the blue horse changed.

Without being conscious of Alan’s magic, he took a posture to charge in a straight line.

coo-!

Alan blocked the charge of the blue horse with a wind barrier.

The movement stopped for a moment, but Alan did not miss it.

Kwagwagwagwa!

A series of blows like a powerful awl mercilessly pierced the body of the blue horse.

The blue horse struggled to get out of the mire of attack, but Alan’s pressure exceeded it.

“■■■■… … .”

The blue horse, whose whole body had been pierced, groaned and collapsed.

After confirming the death of the monster, Alan let out a large sigh as if taking a breather.

“Good work, definitely improved a lot.”

“That, right? Wouldn’t this be comparable to the lowness that didn’t use this power?”

The power Alan spoke of meant darkness.

To this, I laughed without replying.

It must be shown through actions, not words.

And soon, a blue horse with the same appearance came into sight.

“Alan, I will teach you how to hit the magic even if there is a distance.”

At my sudden words, Alan put on a slightly surprised expression.

It was because he raised his voice so that the blue horse could hear it.

“■■■――!”

Upon hearing the voice, the blue horse howled.

But I didn’t mind and closed my eyes.

“Hey, low! why eyes… … .”

“First of all, you need to get rid of the habit of relying on your eyes.”

Hoo-wook.

It created a magic that was hard to see with the naked eye.

A secret type of detection magic that increases the senses with weak fog generated by magical power.

The range of my magician who became a 4-star became wider than before.

―――!

Invisible pressure exploded right in front of the blue horse’s nose.

The blue horse fell into confusion from the unexpected shock, and in the gap, the wind was condensed and fired.

Kwajik!

The same kind of blow Alan had used landed on the horse’s thigh.

Without stopping, he continued to pour out magic to overwhelm the enemy.

Alan couldn’t help but be surprised.

It was because the wind, which lacked both power and speed, made fun of the blue horse from a farther distance.

“A strong attack is hard to hit as the opponent is also wary. So the priority is to distract the other person’s consciousness.”

“… … It means that you have to mix strong attacks with small attacks.”

“that’s right. And if you only rely on your eyesight, it’s hard to target your opponent’s loopholes.”

This is because loopholes are ultimately caught with the senses, not the eyes.

If you rely on your eyes to shoot magic, there are some that are too straightforward and easy to predict.

“So, your next task is to match magic with your senses, not your eyes.”

“… … All right.”

When I opened my eyes, Alan’s puzzled expression came into view.

It’s easy to say, but I’m talking about the last gateway to becoming a high-ranking mage, so I have no choice but to do it.

‘Since the demonstration is over, shall I start the experiment?’

The blue horse trampled by magic was covered with scars, but it was in an upright state.

It was only natural that he attacked while avoiding vital points for this experiment.

that buck

I walked slowly toward the blue horse.

As he stopped attacking and approached, he could see that he was surprised as well as Alan.

As if not to miss the opportunity, the blue horse rushed at it with its tattered body.

‘Now.’

Activated mental magic.

Due to the nature of being unable to work from a distance, he deliberately brought the opponent closer.

‘Will it really be eaten without the erosion of darkness?’

Currently, the blue horse is not mortally wounded, but is considerably injured and weakened.

I wouldn’t know if I was a 5-star, but since it was a 4-star, it was a situation where mental magic wouldn’t work.

Considering this, I used something that strengthened my own power.

‘If there is a response within five steps, it is success.’

While watching in preparation for not being eaten.

“■■■■―――!”

With a roar, the blue horse suddenly turned and swung its paws into the air.

It happened because I misperceived the distance and direction.

‘It’s a success.’

It was confusing mental magic that was easy to resist by changing it.

It was possible because the duration was very short and it was difficult to use.

It still needs adjustments, but at this point it was a success.

Quadruped!

After piercing the vital point of the blue horse that attacked the air with magic and killing it, I recalled the mental magic I had just used.

At this, Alan stared at me with surprised eyes.

“What happened just now… … ?”

“I’ll tell you later when it’s finished.”

When I came out after a few more experiments with the blue horse, I saw Liam waiting for me.

He approached with an appalling smile, as usual, and murmured softly.

“One of those whom you have culled has visited again.”

At this, I smiled slightly.

‘Is the bite finally here?’
