Chapter 1. Bridge

The aftermath of the fight was handled by the late Royal Knights and the Royal Guard.

It was devastated all around, but fortunately, our mansion was intact. It's no good, actually. I was in control of the fight.

The Black Wizards' corpses were well collected and the situation was resolved, but rumors about me spread all over the Kingdom of Leaden and made me talk only in all directions.

Even so, the fiery serpent summoned by the old man, Phoenix, who transformed himself into a salamander, was glittering in the sky and was seen by all who lived in Ledon.

“So I saw you there? Chancellor Chancellor stabbed and killed the evil Black Wizards with hundreds of spears, summoning a huge snake with one black wizard's five heads or six! It was a monstrous creature who was releasing poison from multiple branches. ”

“Hiic, how did you defeat such a monster? ”

“That's power again. When the Chancellor gave the order to the sky, a giant Phoenix flew out of the sky and set fire to the snake monster cub. Immediately after that, a sacred light came pouring down to reveal the truth of the universe. God blessed your achievements! ”

“Amazing! You're the Chancellor! ”

Listening to the villagers' conversations with shared senses, I lost my sense of humor. In one day I became a legendary warrior acknowledged by the gods. Perhaps the legend of the Grand Spirit Raul Ligand was also inflated this way.

The next morning, when I came to the palace, everyone was interested in me.

“It's an honor to meet you, Chancellor! ”

The soldiers guarding the palace gate have been saluting me since midday. I shrugged.

“Yeah, that 'd be great. It's an honor to see you every day anyway. ”

“I heard you did a great job yesterday. ”

“Respect!”

“Okay, I admire you very much. ”

“Old!”

When I entered the palace, the servants and maids were talking to me. We'll get together and have fun writing a novel.

Eva smiles and greets me as I enter my office at the Chancellor's office.

“It's been a long time, Mr. President. Have you had a good rest? ”

“Huh, this body was busy finishing up the royal school. ”

“The last month, the Führer had nothing better to do. ”

“Are you sharp about Eva? ”

“Hehehe.”

Eva smiles like a peasant.

Then, suddenly, he approached me and asked in a gentle tone.

“By the way, did you really call Phoenix and kill the evil snake? He said he saw God after winning the fight. ”

“Sweetheart, can't you be my sidekick and trust that surreal rumor? The fact that Phoenix changed my salamander, and seeing God, that Salamander evolved into a higher spirit, that's what's going to spoil the rumor. ”

“So there's no Phoenix? ”

“Nothing.”

Let's say there's no way to confirm the existence of any mythical animal.

Eva's expression became profoundly grim.

“Anyway, I'm back, so get me the assignment back from Louis. ”

“Yes.”

While I was dedicated to the Royal School, Louis performed my work as a Chancellor.

I asked you to try it once because it was Louis, the next merchant, but I heard it was much more amazing than me. Hahaha. For a month, Louie became a financier for me, and suddenly I remembered that there was a wood that could replace me.

Okay, Louie's plan for early retirement is underway. If I continue to appeal to Louis' work skills and charisma, people will accept it even if I have an excessive reputation and awareness.

After a while, Eva brings a pile of documents from North Korea.

I asked with a slightly bored, trembling voice.

“What's so much? ”

“These are the duties of the Baron Concern during his reimbursement. ”

“Leave what you're good at and bring only the bold stuff. ”

“I've just picked a thick job. ”

“Huh?"

“Baron Concern has nearly tripled the processing speed of the treasury during his reimbursement. He's a superhero, the Baron Concern. ”

“Me, I wasn't off duty when I was working, but my triple? ”

“Yes. You've also complimented me a lot for doing a good job, Ehe. ”

Ah, I see.

Even though Eva is a punk, strangely, she is excellent at her job. Louie, who was born to work with Eva, met and synergized.

“Anyway, you asked me to review the directionality of the work that was done may be different from your intentions. ”

“Got it.”

I reviewed the documents one by one.

Louie's work was excellent. I was amazed at how excellent it could be.

Of course, in his past life, he was the only one who gained the attention of King Kars and became governor of the Kingdom of Leaden. He ruled the Kingdom of Lerdon, which fell to the Horn Empire, so he must be quite resourceful.

I feel motivated to see Louie's skill. I feel like I want to be this good.

Come on, let's get to work.

* * *

I have been motivated to work for a long time.

When it was time for me to go home at night, I was in a hurry to get ready to leave like Carl.

Then a servant who works in the Great War came and delivered the message of King Erik. We were going to have dinner together.

“Tsk. If you're going to eat with me, let's have lunch. I don't want to be late for work. Right, Norm? ”

I want to go home and see Jis.

“Phew, my little cutie! You understand how he feels. ”

- Heheh heh.

I head to the battle with Noonum.

Lou and Jeron are waiting for you at the table that already has high-end dishes. Looks like King Erik isn't here yet. Thank goodness. If you're later than the king, you won't have to excuse me.

“It's been a long time, hasn't everyone seen you? ”

“You did?”

“I see. I heard you got the Royal Academy done. It is remarkable. ”

Jeron's reckless repetition of the former, the latter's enthusiastic reaction, was Louis.

I ignored Jeron and spoke to Louie.

“I saw the paperwork you sent me. That was a great work.I wish I could take over my place right now, haha! ”

“I'm flattered, but I heard you were attacked by a group yesterday. Are your family okay?" ”

“Of course. Those black wizards aren't my opponents. But there was one thing that bothered me. ”

“What's that? ”

“They used magic to bind the spirits. ”

Louie, I said, as well as Jeron's face.

Intelligence into the Horn Empire's study of animistic countermeasures has already been made known to the royal court.

“What are you talking about? ”

King Erik appears.

I told this story to King Erik as well. King Erik asks me, his expression is getting serious.

“Do you think there is a Horn Imperial behind the Black Wizards? ”

At that, I shook my head.

“At least I don't think it was Emperor Kars' silence, Your Grace. ”

Jeron agreed with me.

“Agreed. There's a lot of futility to what I think Emperor Kars, the leader of the dragons, planned. This is because kidnapping your son will serve you well as a hostage, but failing exposes us to the extent of the results of the animistic countermeasures studies. ”

Louie helped.

“I think so too. But since the timing is so sophisticated, I don't think it has anything to do with Emperor Kars. Perhaps the Imperial Person in charge of animistic research has teamed up with a group of Black Wizards because the research was underperforming. ”
