I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

After about ten minutes, the damaged items were restored to their original state, and the four of them could finally sit down and have a good talk.

The sofa in the Weber family is a standard model with one master and two pairs surrounding a rectangular coffee table from three sides. As the owner, Weber and his "sister-in-law" - Lenis, who claims to be sitting on the long main sofa, Shenji and Luo Lei Lai Jacob occupied one side, and in the center of the coffee table were black tea and snacks freshly brewed by Mercury's maid Hutao, which gave this old rental house a more bourgeois atmosphere, although none of the four guests were bourgeois.

"Yeah." Lorelaia picked up the teacup in an elegant manner and took a sip. "It's not bad."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Walnut bowed, and her just-in-time response made Lorelaia's evaluation of the maid and Kenneth even higher.

"A self-disciplined doll created using magic mercury can also achieve this level. It seems that Lord El-Meloy has gained a lot in the past three years, and it won't be long before he can ascend to the 'Grand Rank'."

"It will indeed not take long." Shenji confirmed, "When Lord publishes the research results of the past three years one by one, his 'title' will be undisputed."

"So the two results you recently published are just the beginning?" Lenis asked.

"Yes." Shenji nodded and said, "Although I don't know how many papers Lord plans to publish, it is certain that he wants to use the 'Crown' as a wedding gift to Miss Sola."

"Oh." Lenis clapped her hands, "This is the most expensive and romantic wedding gift since the Clock Tower was built, right, brother."

"Don't look at me." Weber said a little embarrassed, "With my qualifications, I won't be able to reach the height of a teacher in another hundred years, no, two hundred years. If I can be rated as an 'open position', I should be laughing. Bar."

"Ah, brother, I'm just asking you if this is the most romantic and expensive wedding gift. I'm not asking for your evaluation in terms of rank."

Lenis smiled evilly. In Webber's eyes, she seemed to have a pair of horns growing on her head, a pair of wings on her back, and a wagging tail behind her butt.

"Or are you planning to use the title as a wedding gift to me like your Excellency? I hate it, I'm not an adult yet."

"." Weber's stomach felt vaguely - a little devil, definitely a little devil. Why would I be entangled with such a little devil? It's unfortunate.

"." The corners of Shenji's mouth twitched - this scale is too big, isn't she really only eight years old?

"." Lorelaia even began to wonder if there was something wrong with her understanding of this only ally family.

"Ah, just kidding." Seeing that no one spoke, Lenis stuck out her tongue playfully.

The sense of disobedience in Lorelaia's heart became even stronger.

Who is said to be a famous magician who is not much worse than Bartholomew? What about the aristocratic temperament you mentioned? What about the good example of a traditional magician?

Not to mention the two otakus, after all, they are not direct members of El-Meloy, they are talents who joined later.

Lenis is the heir of the Archizolti branch of the Archipelud family, and she can be considered to be of orthodox origin. Why does she have such a character? Is it because of personality issues that he was given instruction by Velvet?

It can't be that all El-Meloy is like this, right? That would be really scary. Lord El-Meloy doesn't look like a person with a personality problem, or is it just a disguise?

No one answered Lorelaia's doubts. Lenis was immersed in the pleasure of teasing others, while Shinji was worried about Weber - Lenis' unintentional words hit Weber's biggest pain point.

Weber met Shenji's concerned gaze and shook his head.

"I know very well that no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with the geniuses. All I have done is confirm the trajectory that has been set by geniuses. Even if I can use that knowledge to make other people's talents sprout, I will always be third-rate. It would only be my surroundings that would shine, I would never be in the spotlight.”

"But I won't be discouraged by this - because I already enjoy enough honors, and this honor is given on credit. Therefore, I must become a person worthy of that honor. Even though the order is reversed, I must prove it" His vision is not wrong."

This was Weber's unspoken voice.

That man's words still echo in my ears.

No, it is engraved on the soul.

At that time, this is what I said.

——"You are my king. I swear to serve you and die for you. Please guide me forward and let me see the same dream as you."

What an immature and selfish statement.

Once, I longed to die with "him". Longing that he could allow himself to follow the greatest overlord in the world like the rest of his subordinates, to die in battle with the man who conquered half the world at that time, perhaps the closest thing to world conquest in human history.

The Overlord smiled brightly at this.

However, what was given to oneself was not a glorious death.

Instead, it is the mission entrusted by "him".

"...Live, Weber. Witness all this, and then live to tell the world about your king's way of survival, and the heroic appearance of my king Iskandar's galloping.

The golden light condenses within the youth.

That is a vow that will never be lost, a light that will never dissipate.

"It's really willful and random, isn't it? In the final analysis, it was obviously that guy who dragged people to death, but then he forced this kind of thing to happen again. Does he know how much headache 'I' will have afterwards? Even if I spend a day You can’t stop complaining all night, that idiot.”

Weber Velvet slandered more than once, but after he finished slandering, he would raise his head, say goodbye to his boyhood, and step into a new and different youth era.

Whether it’s what I want to do or what I can do, I know it very well.

Of course, this is contradictory. Even if he accepts his true nature, he is still jealous of his dazzling talent. Whenever he sees outstanding magic, his body feels like it is being burned by the flames of resentment. Kenneth Elmloy Archibalud, Bartholomew Lorelea, Lenise Archizolti, young geniuses soar into the sky so easily. The glorious dream remains in one's soul - but a dream remains a dream.

It doesn’t matter if it’s still a dream, that’s what I think now.

It doesn't matter if it's still a dream, I can think like this now.

Although there are these unsatisfactory things, my life is very happy. I don't need or have the turn of others to make irresponsible remarks.

Because I am a subject recognized by the greatest king in the world, the Conqueror King Iskandar. Even death cannot erase the bond between us as king and minister.

One day, I will see the majestic land of hot sand and the dream of the sea at the end of the world described by the king.

PS: The reason why I don’t envy Shenji is very simple, because Shenji is seriously partial to science, and his talents and skills are all focused on combat. What he pursues is his own strength. From the perspective of magic research, he is not as good as Webber.
