I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius
Chapter 245
245 – The only drug allowed by Ed
On the way out of Cruel territory.
Ed recalled the conversation he had with Archduke Ileiya.
When asked if he could accept Enya as the concubine of the Fix family, he muttered these words with a bitter smile.
As expected, people’s lives are unpredictable, and he had no idea that he would end up sending his proud daughter to be his concubine.
-It’s exactly the opposite of what I said. Ha ha ha···.
Ilayah said that and recalled her past.
His shameful past, when he said he wanted to take Ed as a concubine to the Cruel family.
-Never mind. At that time, everyone probably thought that.
However, Ed told me not to worry about that.
I didn’t particularly take Illiyah’s remarks to heart.
According to common sense at the time, everyone would have thought that way.
It was just a remark that went a little too far because Ileiya cared so much for his daughter.
-···No. It was a slip of the tongue that I would not have made if I had been a little more careful. If she is a talented person sponsored by the Archmage and Her Highness, there must be a reason for that, but she is only too excited about the fact that she is from a commoner and is too protective of her daughter. This is a slip of the tongue.
But even if Ed said it was okay, Ileiya apologized for the slip of the tongue and blamed his own shortcomings.
Now the Fix family stands at the center of the world and has become the strongest family standing side by side with the Orserk family.
Ed is trying to remove any seeds of dissatisfaction she may have in her heart.
Now, if we don’t have an amicable relationship with the Fix family, it means political death.
Since all political dynamics in the empire revolve around the Fix family, even for the sake of his daughter’s happiness.
And for the sake of the prosperity of the Cruel family, not going against Edgar Fix’s wishes became the greatest task on earth.
‘Hmm…You don’t have to be so low-key.’
However, Ed felt a little sorry for Illiyah’s 180-degree change in attitude.
He is still the person who will become his father-in-law, so is there any need for him to stoop that low?
‘Becoming a member of the royal family will have a big impact.’
······However, since the rumor that he was marrying the princess had spread openly throughout the empire, Ileiya’s attitude was, in a way, natural.
The Orserk family is truly a symbol of absolute imperial power.
If you become the princess’s husband, it means you will become a member of the Orserk family.
In other words, you become a member of the royal family, so you leap to a sacred rank that most nobles cannot even approach.
‘It was even allowed to have a concubine there…’
Above all, the original structure was such that the princess had to have her dutiful husband and several male concubines, but instead, she had the princess as her dutiful wife and had several concubines. .
And this means that the dynamic structure of the empire was organized around the Fix family.
The Orserk family, which rules with an iron fist with the Demon Eye, would never have allowed a marriage like this.
-What does that mean? Rather than Lord Fix becoming Her Royal Highness’s sire (Queen’s husband), Her Royal Highness becomes Sir Fix’s dutiful wife?
-Are you saying that His Majesty the Emperor allowed it?
-Well, then… Isn’t it almost as if the imperial power has been handed over to Lord Fix?
Because of this, quick-moving nobles are already trying to line up for Ed.
Since there are rumors that Ed has multiple concubines, forming a marriage alliance would be a huge hit.
‘I’m glad Eve took care of it.’
For this reason, Ed left all side effects arising from his political actions to Eve.
If Eve is smart and capable, she will give the right reasons and defeat the nobles.
With that, you will be able to focus on what you need to do.
‘Anyway, have you prepared all the institutional foundations?’
Anyway, the goal is being achieved.
Now, the national wedding with the princess is only two months away.
If the princess becomes her true wife, the princess will do a good job of controlling her internal affairs while she is away.
As long as the princess’s magical eyes and Eve’s brain are present, the organization will not divide.
‘Of course, not everything went as planned…’
However, a minor problem has arisen: it is being conducted in a form similar to a ‘love marriage’ rather than a ‘contract marriage’ with the princess.
That’s right, because I spent time with the princess for a few weeks and became very close to her.
‘Now we’re close enough to just call him by name.’
Furthermore, after their first kiss, their relationship sparked out of control.
The day after her first kiss, she asked the princess to call her by her name, and the next day she asked for her arm pillow.
She also said that she would cut out her ears the next day and told her to lie down on her thighs.
In this way, it was difficult to reject the princess who approached her without hesitation, as she was quite cute and had a lot of charm.
So far, she has no one to show off her charms, so she has maintained a cold and serious attitude.
Her original personality was lively and charming.
Because of her
, In contrast to her usual blunt and cold appearance, she had a charm that easily disarmed her.
‘····But you never know. ‘Sephilia just needs someone to rely on.’
However, there was this thought in a corner of Ed’s mind.
If the princess’s magical eye did not work for anyone other than herself.
The princess probably felt attracted to him as well.
She didn’t open her heart because she was ‘Edgar Fix’, but perhaps he felt her charm because she was someone whose magical eyes could not communicate.
‘First of all, we should follow the original plan…’
So Ed was still thinking about sending the princess back to her real world.
As long as she is Orserk’s bloodline, she cannot feel any interest in this world.
If she goes to the real world where the magical eye does not work, she will be able to be happy as a princess.
‘Our goal from the beginning was to return home.’
Above all, her original goal and that of her colleagues was to return home.
It’s not like living as a local in another world like this.
The only goal was to defeat the Duke of Hell and return to the reality where his family was waiting.
However, the war was prolonged and she was sealed and localized.
‘I and the Grand Duchess have already become people of this world… But Elena and Sephilia…’
Because of this, Elena repeats her eternal return in search of her loved one.
Sephilia, who feels that everything in this world is fake, may be happier if she returns to the real world.
Especially for Sephilia, she will feel like all relationships other than herself and Elena are fake, so she will.
‘Well, it’s just like drinking kimchi soup until you win.’
However, all these concerns are concerns that apply only when the war against the Duke of Hell is won.
In this situation where a proper war had not yet been fought, talking about returning was like drinking kimchi soup.
After Ed came to her senses, she began to think about what she should focus on.
‘As expected, control will be strengthened.’
As a result of such consideration, what Ed came up with was strengthening control.
In other words, the system is to be further strengthened to control the hundreds of millions of people housed in this small area of land.
Because problems are emerging even now.
‘I forgot. ‘How humans love conflict.’
Problems popping up here and there even though we have not yet accepted all of humanity.
These were all issues related to ‘equity’.
In other words, even if resources are distributed equally, there are people who are dissatisfied with it.
Because even if you share the same food, satisfaction will vary depending on the food you prefer or the amount you eat.
If the taste and quantity do not suit you, you will inevitably be dissatisfied.
However, this is just a very fragmentary example.
In reality, more complex interests are intertwined and conflicts are occurring.
For example, some of the imperial citizens settled within Ed’s territory want more certain preferential treatment.
So, they are citizens of the empire and they are refugees from other countries, so why is there no difference in the food or accommodation distributed?
No matter how much they are the saviors of humanity, they say that neglecting their own people like that is a very unfortunate way of handling things, and although they cannot express their complaints directly to me, they are constantly raising issues.
·····But does that mean other citizens will remain silent?
No.
They also gave up all their resources to the empire, even abandoning their own home, so they are asking why they encourage discrimination.
In addition, the territories are competing with each other to receive preferential treatment.
The host country is fighting with each other over whether they should be given more preferential treatment.
Not only that, but races are also fighting among themselves.
Even the residents of Fix Territory have a sense of superiority because they are Fix Territory residents.
It is to satisfy one’s vanity by wielding the power that suddenly arises.
“Well, it’s as expected.”
However, Ed did not feel particularly annoyed by this phenomenon.
Because humans are not satisfied with just having a warm stomach and a full stomach.
In a way, it is natural that disputes arise as people become more comfortable making a living.
It’s just that the desire for a better life is revealed in the form of selfishness.
“We need content.”
Because of this, Ed decided to correct their desires.
With a healthier form of desire rather than hatred and selfishness towards each other.
“Eve, let’s start the content business.”
“Hung.”
So Ed operated a pre-built factory and produced a large quantity of ‘image transmission crystals.’
So, the crystal ball was processed into a flat TV shape and distributed to all households.
-You damn devils!
-You have to rip them all apart and kill them!
And so the evil atrocities of the devils began to be reported on TV.
How cruelly they slaughter humans.
How many countries were destroyed by their hands?
What a miserable end the humans who were corrupted into devils by them met and committed terrible acts that betrayed humanity.
Everything was broadcast live.
······The result of relaying how much terrible things the human race outside the wall suffered from the devil over the past few days.
Ed was able to achieve two effects.
One is that it made me feel how grateful I was to be protected by the wall.
The other thing is that they were able to gather the hatred that was pouring towards each other towards the devil.
“Now, it’s time to create a hero.”
In this way, Ed succeeded in gathering the anger of humanity inside the wall towards the devil.
I immediately took the next step.
Each country created a hero and reported on their activities.
Each citizen within the wall, where internal dissatisfaction was exploding, began to immerse themselves in the hero’s activities.
A video of a hero representing the country saving a person in danger together with Edgar Fix became very popular.
[This is also a Mechanical Griffin unit. Thanks to your anti-aircraft support, we were able to prevent countless sacrifices.]
Because of this, Ed reacted appropriately.
Knowing that one word of praise can become a source of pride for another country.
Heroes from other countries were praised when the right cause occurred at the right time.
In addition, he pretended to know the culture of that country.
[Dyank vegetable porridge from the Kingdom of Creyan is very tasty even though it is common food. It is the best general food that balances taste and nutrition.]
-As expected of a savior of mankind, he is very knowledgeable.
-hahahahaha! Did you hear the rumor? The rumor that Lord Fix is obsessed with Korean food and only eats vegetable porridge three times a day?
-That’s not all! Lord Fix has dinner with the imperial princess every day, and doesn’t he say he’s spreading our Diankh vegetable porridge?
[As expected, the technological prowess of the Bisante Kingdom is unrivaled. Even I sometimes get inspired by this outstanding technology.]
-Khahahaha!! Did you see it this time? Even the great Edgar Fix bowed to the technological prowess of the Bisante Kingdom.
-I heard that 50% of the technology used in the air carrier is our kingdom’s technology.
-Elder, there is a story I heard. In fact, Sir Edgar Fix’s father, James Fix… Turns out he was from the Kingdom of Bisante. I heard that His Majesty the late King’s missing youngest daughter and James Fix fell in love and ran away into the night… And the resulting child was Sir Edgar Fix…
-···Oh, no!? Then?
-···Yes. In fact, Edgar Fix was the hidden prince of the Bisante Kingdom…
When Ed said a word of praise, all kinds of rumors began to spread.
Besides satisfying the pride of the people of that country, all kinds of strange rumors are attached, giving birth to something like the ‘Prince Edgar Fix theory.’
-hahahaha! In that case, since Prince Bisante is marrying the princess of the empire, it is no different from us having eaten the empire!
The videos that Ed distributed were consumed in various ways.
However, it is clear that the hostility toward the devil and the heroic narrative that resolves it will eventually become tiresome.
We attempted to supplement this by producing content in various fields.
In addition, various advertisements were placed through TV media to instill in everyone the illusion that working hard would lead to a better life.
As a result, the number of people voluntarily applying to work at the factory increased explosively.
“There really isn’t much left now.”
When the strengthening of control through cultural dissemination was completed.
It was already one day before the wedding with the princess.
For this reason, Ed was preparing to go to bed early in preparation for the grand wedding held tomorrow.
I have to wake up early as there are many complicated procedures.
-Drur!
But then, Ed’s closet opens of its own accord.
However, in the space where the clothes should have been stored, a bright blue aurora was shining brightly.
At first glance, it looked like a magical space was connected through the closet.
“Is this the right place?”
At that time, a familiar voice tapped Ed’s eardrums.
As expected, the identity of the familiar voice was Elena, who poked her head out through the aurora.
“···Master?”
“Eugh. You’ve come to the right place. “Were you well prepared?”
“Yes. “What happened to you, Master?”
“Ah… That…”
Elena wiggled her hands.
She scratched her cheek as if embarrassed, and then spoke carefully to Ed.
“Can you help me?”
“······?”
Ed tilted his head.
