Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Ominous Peace

“Top master. I just want to ask you a favor.”

As always, there are not many people who can stand alone as the emperor. But who can say that he doesn’t deserve that, Oldman Thapju of Matop?

This person, no, Matop, is a force that has always maintained neutrality in conflicts on the continent. He is absolutely neutral, and if he has to, he is on the side of money. If there are two countries at war, the magic tower is to sell magic items to both countries to make a savory income.

“Please order it, Your Majesty.”

It is said to be dismissed in words, but it is a fact that neither the Top Lord, nor the Emperor, nor the whole world knows that Oldman Top Lord is not under the Emperor. Matapju is a person who has the qualifications to speak on an equal footing with the emperor, and even the emperor’s orders mean little to him.

Even if you say you know in this place, if you go outside, it doesn’t matter if you act as if you didn’t hear anything.

The magic tower is such a huge force, and if you don’t touch it, it keeps its neutrality. The emperor had no intention of provoking these people without preparation.

“Top master. Jim had a discussion with you the other day and decided to build a city in the southeastern part of the Empire that belongs to Mato. The magical city that was created like that, Orphiel, administratively still belongs to the Empire. So, Jim wants to give you the mayor seat of Orphiel, but what do you think of the top lord?”

Oldman Topju furrowed his eyebrows for a moment. What the Emperor meant by saying this, he thought for a moment.

Orphiel is already like a city owned by the tower, and only pays taxes to the empire. Although there is a market that comes down from the center, it has no real power and is just a handshake that follows the will of the Matoap.

Giving that market position to yourself is not a big gain, but it is never a loss. Anyway, it wasn’t a bad condition to accept. Topju immediately realized why the emperor had offered this condition and nodded.

“I will accept Your Majesty’s generosity with gratitude. Now, I want to go down to Orphiel and focus on nurturing magic manpower. Would your majesty grant you permission?”

“Let it be.”

“Thank you, and thank you again for your grace.”

So, the situation was obvious. Even before the eruption of the volcano in the Republic of Citadel, these people seemed to plan to bump into each other at least once.

This Thapju, who had many close friends both in the Empire and in the country, noticed the situation at once. Even if the system seems peaceful now, this is only the eye of the typhoon.

It seems that the meeting between the emperor and the three archbishops did not go well. The movement of the temple side was unusual, and the emperor seemed to be at ease, but various preparations were being made under the water.

Ma Thap-ju sincerely did not want to be involved in such a fuss. He is neither on the side of the Empire nor on the side of the temple, and he will be on the side of the victorious faction.

“execution. How did the conversation go?”

“priest. The Emperor wants us to stay one step away from the turmoil of the Empire.”

Gerard, the old wizard of the tower, saw his death sentence and asked. Since they had the same teacher, there was no hesitation in their conversation.

Oldman Thapju did not dare to exalt the emperor outside the imperial palace, and no one found it strange.

“Are you going to fight after all?”

“Nine times out of ten, it will. The Emperor’s will was simple. If you don’t want to be on your side, you should get out of the system altogether.”

Those who are desperate for success may use this as an opportunity to line up at either the emperor or the temple. However, the mato tower is one of the best powers on the continent with no place to climb anymore.

Seriously, I didn’t want to side with one side in a fight like this and become an enemy of the other. It’s enough to watch them and earn money.

“The Calderan Volcano is about to erupt, and they are doing well. Death penalty, how do we plan anything? The Citadel Republic is a big customer. It’s a big deal for a place like that to collapse.”

“It is already late. what’s the plan The kingdom is not interested, and the emperor has no power. There is no need for our magic tower to use poison to solve the problems of the Citadel Republic, and more importantly, it would be meaningless to do so.”

Top owner calmly admitted the truth. Although his magic skills are great, his opponent is the immortal creature that burned the three masters.

Even a victory by pouring out everything in the tower against him would only result in a victory with wounds, and the damage would be devastating. It wasn’t worth it. Above all, it was quite uncertain whether they could really win.

It seems that the Kingdom has given up on the Citadel Republic altogether, and is rather trying to take advantage of this chaos to develop an empire. Even the emperor knows their will, so of course blocking it is a priority.

Just as he couldn’t go looking for someone else’s house when his own house was threatened, the emperor was quietly preparing for an attack on the temple, pretending to be ignorant. Although the players playing chess may not know it, the current state of affairs was clearly visible to the spectator, Top-ju.

Of course, he had no intention of giving any hint to the temple. In fact, it was more comfortable for the empire to win than the temple.

Empire is a human power. Although there are some irrational aspects, it is generally reasonable. The fact that the emperor does not wield absolute power means that he has no arbitrariness.

Therefore, the people of the empire have a common denominator: the pursuit of profit. Matop could easily understand what they wanted, and they could work hand in hand to pursue a greater profit.

On the other hand, the temple? They are the power of God. Depending on the whims of the goddesses, their positions can change like leaves blown in the wind.

It was the worst condition for a partner, and the lord did not want the temple to be strong enough to take over the entire continent.

“Whether it’s the empire or the temple, there must be a lot of treasury plaques that are hidden, but we can’t let them cherish them, and our tower can’t go out. The republic is over. I can no longer regenerate.”

The current situation where no one can plan the continent and several powers are converging and gathering is the sea that Matop wants. How comfortable it is that they are preparing to fight each other on their own without having to step forward and cause division.

On that day, the Oldman Tapp lord withdrew the main wizards of the Ma Thap and withdrew from the islands. The cause was to take care of Orpheel, but the real reason was that he didn’t want to get involved in the fight that was going on from now on.

An unusual wind blew in the system. Few people have felt the wind yet.

“By the way, the disciple is still rude. What he is doing without contacting this master… I’m not worried about that guy since he’s never properly contacted him.”

And a first-class person is someone who can feel the wind and smile. Ma Thap-ju was already thinking about watching the spectator, one step away from this chaos. There was no pressure, no worries, and it was enough to just do what I had to do.

“why…?”

And why?

The moment the sword and the sword met, Ardain felt an unknown feeling and was bewildered. The magical energy flowing through the dragon veins continues to flow into her even at this moment, and the magical circuit improved by eating the firefly crystal fruit has received that magic power close to perfection.

In strength, he overwhelms his opponent. However, what actually happened was the opposite.

Ardain pushed Rayman with a load of dragon-shaped steel, but the two just kept spinning in a circle. I applied the force in a straight line, but the direction of movement is different.

As the saying goes, a bear is a trickster and a clown makes money. Even if she works like a cow, Rayman controls the direction.

Even though the opponent’s sword didn’t even have magical powers, Rayman took her sword close to perfection. Truly, it was bizarre. Is there anything else that can be against the magic strength other than the strength strength? Is this even possible?

“Degradation of the Empress. Sometimes there are things that cannot be obtained unless you empty them.”

Rayman raised his bare hand, not holding the sword, and brought it to the dragon’s sword burning with a golden dragon blade. He didn’t even touch the blade, he touched the blade.

The princess opened her eyes. The dragon shape force is one of the most explosive and subversive ones.

It is also a plate to be careful about when she herself puts Kanggi on her sword and puts her palms on it. As long as you don’t concentrate on it, the dragon sword will cut off even the palm of your hand if it touches it. No, it wasn’t strange to blow it up at all.

However, the sword full of strength was not able to burst or cut Rayman’s hand, and it was scattered without a hitch. A sword made of dragon bones could only cut through human flesh.

Rayman burst out laughing. He didn’t lie. There was something that I could only know after the magic power was limited by Grimudo. Of course, if I hadn’t grabbed that sword, I wouldn’t have known now.

“Your power is great, but if you rush like a rhinoceros horn, you can do nothing except to swing it.”

“Madeleine… Sir.”

After the princess resolved the confrontation, she changed her tone of voice.

I immediately understood why the emperor trusted this man and put him by his side. She asked politely.

“Did the Lord come to give me enlightenment?”

“Your Majesty said that Ha-ga and Jeong-in, whom he had in mind, would leave and there would be a lot of trouble. So I told you. If you try to catch everything, you may get nothing.”

He sighed and nodded.

“It’s great that you became a Master at such a young age, but it’s still not enough. A lot of it too. Even though he has such a powerful power, all he can do is swing it around, and the only thing he knows how to do is dash, but he can’t do even one of them properly.”

Of course, this evaluation is, to the last, an evaluation of Ardein’s group. It’s just a review that covers her battles, starting with swordsmanship, and doesn’t mean anything more.

But is it really? The princess suddenly became ashamed of herself.

Because those words seemed to implicitly express their own life itself.

“I want to seek the teachings of my master.”

However, now, as I did when I was the former finance minister, I could not raise my head stiffly without knowing anything. Ardein bowed his head and asked politely.

“Well, the level of degradation is so high that I don’t really know what to advise this old man. Even if you give me advice, filter it in moderation. If there are ten people, each one has their own path, so in the end, the lower one must choose the lower one’s path.”

“But speaking of my opinion, you are very greedy. I’m trying to catch this and that, so I can’t help but hesitate. Of course, the dragon sword is an all-around strength, and the sword is close to all-round. But can humans also be omnipotent? You have to give up what you want to give up and specialize. A man can never have everything he wants.”

“And the battle of the lower ranks, from my point of view to the last, can only be used to crush the opponent with the strength of magical power. If you meet an opponent stronger than you, then it’s just right to be overpowered. You will need to have your own group in any way, whether through actual combat or studying.”

Rayman left those words and left without a word. Ardein, who was left alone, recalled that advice for a long time. What should be thrown away should be thrown away. A person can never have everything he wants…

Looking back, there were so many things she wanted to have. He needed political power to overwhelm Edmund, and he also wanted Kyle to be by his side. There was also the desire to use his power to strengthen the imperial power. But I didn’t want to hate him.

There is no way to do all of this at the same time. Somehow she tried to do it, and as a result she didn’t do anything. I couldn’t catch Kyle as he left, and I couldn’t even follow him. He hesitated and held out his hand, and then savagely picked it up again.

‘But I don’t know.’

I knew in my head that I had to give up something, but I couldn’t let go of anything. If people change after hearing a few words of advice, there would be no non-adults in the world.

Only the complexity of the heart deepened. The princess let out a deep sigh.
