"Hmm. This is what happens..."
As a policy to bring together small countries, if there was a parliament that ruled the city-state, it would make a bribe to its members, and if certain rulers were in charge, they would make a pledge of loyalty.
Loyalty prints for that purpose.
I decided to use it in the Orient to make sure that Benjamin's loyalty to the magic circle was properly verified.
However, the result was unexpected.
There were quite a few who didn't show their loyalty marks.
I might have said it myself, but I thought it was a little more popular based on my forecasts.
Do I need to change my plans?
Discuss the loyalty mark with Ai.
“The Orient Army and many of the Barca Mercenaries have shown loyalty to Lord Alphonse.”
"That's right. Many of those people who weren't loyal to me said they trusted Elvis and the other generals." So, overall, I think I'm going to have a lot of support from military and mercenaries. "
A magic circle that manipulates magic power.
When the magic circle activated, magic power would flow into me if I pledged allegiance to the opponent.
But not if they're loyal to me.
The same magic that appeared in my hand using the magic circle didn't appear on the back of the opponent's hand, so I could tell immediately.
In that case, perhaps the magic circle's effects weren't revealed, but rather the magic circle was standing by.
If his loyalty were to turn to me, a sigil would appear on the back of his hand at that moment, sending me magic power.
In short, the fact that my sigil doesn't come to mind is that someone else is higher than me.
So most of the people who are not military officials are expressing their support for Eye.
In addition to the army and mercenaries, I tested it on a very wide scale.
Those who did not activate their sigil during the loyalty test.
We interviewed them.
Of course, but I'm not punishing you for not being loyal. I'm just investigating.
Who would you be if you were to offer your loyalty to?
Whether or not there are people who have trust.
I listened to it and took a tally.
Before the investigation, I thought that I was someone close to him.
Most of the mercenaries in the Barca Mercenaries had my sigil on them, and some of the Orient Army said they trusted their superiors.
I'd rather have someone nearby to talk to than a famous person far away.
I was wondering if there was such a thing.
But Aye was the name of some Orient servicemen and congressional officials who were overwhelmingly more trustworthy than those close to them.
Ai, who chairs the National Assembly of the Orient.
Generally speaking, even those who could not say that they were close said that they strongly believed in the existence of Ai.
"Isn't that right?" The situation in this country has basically been much better since Mr. Ai became chairman. People who are involved in the military or men who like the military might support Mr. Alphonse, but I think merchants and ordinary people would be most happy if Mr. Ai chaired it. "
"Well, Eye is good." Maybe Christina's right. Also, thanks to the ability to use Doppelgänger , I work everywhere, so the recognition level may be the same as mine, or even higher.
"That's right. I wonder if it was the loyalty fingerprint?" Maybe I should use that for the council, too. If you do that, the Eye sigil will be on the back of the congressional hands. "
Eye has a loyalty crest, right?
Maybe, overall, I'm better known than Aye.
However, it is that he fought against other countries as the leader of the army, and his achievements made him known to the people of other countries.
In Orient country only, Eye may be more popular than I am.
Because the overwhelming political achievements have stabilized the country and eliminated the problems of clothing, food, and housing.
If you go to the council, you can always see Eye.
I wonder if it involves a beautiful woman who can see a little more closely than I do, who often travels to the capital of the Orient, the new city of Barca, or the battlefield.
Christina suggested that I should try using the Loyalty Sigil.
I understand the idea well.
Under the circumstances, there would be a certain number of members of Congress who trust Aye, even if they were not affiliated with the Barca Party.
It would be normal to think that such a person is worth doing in the sense of attracting allies.
But can Ai use the loyalty magic circle?
No matter how good you are and how trusted you are, Eye is something special.
I don't know if it will work.
“It's a good idea to give it a try. Created by Lord Kyle Reed like me, the High Spirit possessed a certain ego, but it also possessed magical power. If so, there is a possibility that the transfer of magic might also be made to me, who is a virtual personality.”
"Does Ai have magic power?" I don't know about that, but that sounds interesting. Well then, let's give it a try. "
The loyalty prints were an improvement to the Name magic circle.
And the [naming] magic circle was originally used in the Holy Light Church.
In the church, the priest unfolded the magic circle, and the nobility named the knights under his command.
In other words, other than those who unfolded the magic circle, they could also use the magic circle.
So, we might be able to do the same with the loyalty print.
I used my magic powers to create a magic circle with loyalty marks.
And then, let's use that magic circle to question the loyalty of the other party.
In the meantime, let's try the one at [Sleepless Hall], Ai's workplace.
I'm sure there's loyalty to Eye, because there's lots of crazy people out there who forget to eat and work with Eye.
So, if I could transfer my magic power, I would succeed.
Thus, the operation of the loyalty fingerprint by Eye was tested in the Orient country.
