The Editor Is the Novel’s Extra

(6) For Unpersistent Peace

For the first time in a long time, the perception buried under the surface of the water rises like a post-disaster coastline.

Even after several seasons, it is not enough to get a new birthday and name and consider it your hometown.

Memories carved into him make him a stranger.

Clayo's own way of reading was based on the learning of the previous world, which eventually misinterpreted the intention of the author who created the last world.

Maybe you shouldn't have created some kind of attack magic in the first place.’

He assumed that his anomalous attack magic would become a technology that no one could reproduce once the world's ether was abolished, and would disappear into the background of history like the Sword Master's wideband.

All of Clayo's magic was implemented only on the premise of "perception" of "promise".

While attending school, I once taught some kinds of simple eye trick magic to my curious seniors and classmates.

In magic, even though Dernier was the best elite on the continent, the children could not fine tune the ether like Clayo.

The [tracking] formula, the core of the attack inducement, was not fully utilized based on ordinary people's senses.

Usually, it is a formula used to reflect on the movements of Ether, so the one that applies it to the attack magic is beyond common sense.

By then, Clayo was ready to play his role in the future.

The world was a place where the confrontation between the author and the person took place, and at the same time, it was a battleground between God and man.

The excuse he made to Arthur is no longer an excuse.

The role given to Clay on Palimpsest is God's agent.

Only by being sincere in the role will he be able to pay a reasonable price for taking the position with the name of "Clayo Asher."

"Franc doesn't intend to build weapons, so someone has to take over the role during the war. I thought it was me.’

Perhaps conscription can be avoided. But you can't avoid getting involved in the war. God would have arranged his place.

Considering Arthur's battle during the Prince's Rebellion, he needed someone to assist him.

Isiel, of course, will boast a formidable display of military prowess, but her true value was best revealed when she was a commander, not as a single attacker.

Fire should be dropped from the sky, or fire falling from the sky should be stopped. If it's not Mado Science, it's magic.

"When Melchior got Fran out of the Academy of Sciences, he didn't know this would happen. The author has a strong deterrent....’

But if he succeeds in achieving the author's will and Ether does not destroy it until the end. So if magic leads forever and forever to the future.

"Am I going to be punished by the man who set fire to mankind?’

As someone who has too much power to be given to man, the ability to create fear and wonder?

So, one day, will the world rule out Melchior as well?

Before I knew it, Clayo's arm was full of strength.

"Growl, Gork. The Ark."

The behemoth, who made a strange noise, lay down and turned around, apparently frustrated.

This time, the mausoleum, which turned to the other side and was cuddled in Clayo's arms, was still asleep with its tongue sticking out of its mouth.

In an instant, all the odds were broken.

I'm looking into the cat's pink tongue, and there's no way it'll lead to dark thoughts.

"Oh, what a self-conscious delusion. Even before we get there, Melchior could have brought up a coronation solar eclipse, and it could all be ruined together.’

Scratching under the chin of a behemoth with stretched white fur, Clay recalled every word of Melchior.

The interview provided Clay with considerable clues.

Those who cannot avoid the tragedy of the madness possessed by God have rather developed actions to expand the scale of the disaster.

Even Melchior, who dares to confront the god who wrote this world, did not seem to understand what had happened after he left the 8th Bridge.

First of all, you don't think you know exactly what T-Flume is doing, do you? If you knew, there was no reason to invest in the T-Flume mine and work hard to create a processing complex. That's the driving force behind the loss of Ether.’

Nevertheless, the knowledge that Melchior knows is never negligible.

Just as Arthur gets the truth about the world when the foundation of the world is shaken, isn't he able to look at the previous world by breaking the boundaries of God-made worlds?

"What else could be the reason for the 19th-century royal family's mastery of extremely modern methods of control?’

Pre-repeated life, memories of the past, not the past, and Erato, the goddess with his face.

There were so many unknown elements surrounding Melchior that there was no clue to convincing the hypothesis.

But

'One thing is clear. If Melchior survives after the coronation....’

This time, it may truly end human history completely.

irrevocably, never to be repeatedly repeated.

Strangely, Clay was a little more afraid that the world would no longer continue than he died.

"I don't think it was easy to create the coronation of blood. I can't meet all those conditions right now. I don't know how long the grace period will be, but....’

It was then.

in a huff

The bedroom door opened without knocking.

The opponent who appeared in front of Clayo, who set up his upper body in a tense atmosphere, was Chelsea.

"Oh, you're in now. I've been looking for it."

"You did? Why didn't you leave a note? He didn't say anything."

"I told Nebo... He's out of training ground again. I got a trainee while hanging out with Isiel and Arthur for no reason.”

"I think it's okay because I'm satisfied....”

Chell snorted at Clayo's not so sure answer.

"Well, we've met. But your hair is all messed up."

The cat, the owner of the room, and the blanket were still tangled randomly on the bed.

Clayo's hair, which had grown quite a bit and had become less tidy than before, was prone to disintegration.

Without a hitch, Clayo's head slurred, and Chell dragged the desk chair to the side of the bed and sat in a bad posture.

"Whoa, I'm busy. I'm busy. "Why do I have so many things to tell you that I missed a few days of school?"

"I didn't take the midterm, so what can I do? The professors were as convenient as possible, so I'll submit it sincerely."

"Speak like Isiel, but I know you've just scratched one of your writing assignments tomorrow."

Clayo, who got up in a bust, pulled his hair back. It didn't work very well.

"Chelle, you've been hanging out with Lady Dionne and you've got all your foresight.

"Are you kidding me? Damn it. If I had the foresight, I would have been robbed of all my property."

"Uh. I never meant to do that. I'm sorry about what you've been through."

Clay felt fond and bitter sympathy for my friend.

"I would have just wanted to set the Senate chamber on fire if I had been ripped that much. be easy to resist’

Angry at her daughter who escaped the Camellia coffin while in custody, Catarina declared her decency and converted all of Chell's property left by Marie into a trust.

In the process, the inheritance tax and fines were subsequently imposed, and the size of Chell's assets was reduced.

"Maybe it's because there's a common complaint, but the tax rate is quite high, unlike the 19th century. Thanks to that, I'm glad that there's something to be called a welfare system, even though it's fundamental..’

Albion's welfare system was tremendously innovative in that it has children's education, food subsidies, and free medical support for the poor.

Queen Carmela laid the foundation for the welfare system in return for transferring the right to taxation and budget execution to the House of Lords.

The land was received by the aristocrats and paid a certain percentage of taxes, and the entire tax from commercial activities was attributed to the government during the Queen's reign.

Nevertheless, the decentralization of the Senate and the king was not stipulated in the Constitution, so it was a system with many gaps.

Catarina was caught up in the orthodox situation when Melchior was wielding his tax investigation with political intentions.

"If he wants to use the past world as a reference, he'll see good things and write them. How can he even copy those things?’

Gideon Asher usually makes donations in so many places that even if his second son was involved in a political war, he seems to have gone over like a horse, but Tang Pet de Nege's business was different.

The tax committee led by the young Earl of Islam, not the commerce minister's group, who was usually close to Catarina, took the lead in the investigation.

As a result, there was a chill around Catarina's business.

"I don't think the Earl of Islay would have vented his anger on me if he hadn't knocked on my mother, but it's a terrible timing."

Clayo, via Dione, was rejected for offering a reduction in the rent for the hotel site this quarter.

In the meantime, Catarina, who did not want to lose her self-esteem, paid the rent in full and was actively attracting investment.

"Anyway, if you're done with your homework, just pack this list. It's the route of buying iron from Ma Kwang-seok. The knights in the territory of Kishion are all crazy about training, so the training cycle is short."

Rachel threw the file she had worn on her side in front of Clayo. Clayo, who had fallen from Behemoth, stretched out his arms and pulled the file.

Didn't the county government say it would support Ma Kwang-seok iron 1.5 times as much as before?”

"Why are you being so naive like yourself? What's the point of having a lot of footage? The quality of the military drop-off is bad, so it's not durable even if it's made of weapons."

"…the stars, they're tackling everything private.”

"They're dogs. But now I can't spend a lot of money, so I'm stuck in other ways. Dividends are limited to 30,000 dinars a year, and pensions are not allowed to withdraw more than 2,500 dinars a month."

Skilled clerks earn 1,500 dinar left and right, and servants receive about 1,000 dinar per quarter.

Therefore, 2,500 dinars per month were not small enough to live alone, but the amount was not enough to dream of support from the military.

With his elbows on his knees and his chin on the back of his hand, Chew, kicked his tongue.

"I've been trying to figure out if I'm going to sue a higher court, but at any cost, the senior court judge is a Casovon who's obsessed with her right now. You wouldn't be on my side."

"I don't think a fair trial is going to take place if you dismiss him. It's time for us to stay as low as possible."

"That's the problem. Who's going to go against that monstrous acting king? It's for Kruel, who's wearing the queen's back."

The crisis has led to more senators and businessmen supporting the acting king.

Melchior has been reborn as an opponent that Aslan, who is heavily influenced by the southeastern defense forces and pro-Brunnenist aristocrats, cannot easily control.

'You're an amnesty novice.’

Clayo, who was handing over the files that Rachel gave him, gave a slight sigh.

'There's money everywhere.’

The soldiers of the Kishion successfully nurtured, but that was all.

Initially, it was impossible to operate the military with the tax revenue of the Kishion Autonomous Prefecture, which was built for border defense, and had poor land and no special resources.

The budget approved by the Royal Advisory Committee and the Senate Armed Services Committee is as important as a lifeline, and the two committees were not fun as Melchior and Kruell were tightly held.

"The House has ruled in favor of us, but it won't help because we don't have the authority to execute any additional aid."

In this situation, I could not execute the budget alone, and I was only grateful because I had the authority to challenge the decision of the aristocrats.

There is still no internal truth in the support, but since all the knights and soldiers were put on the military until the last one, only the administrative processing costs imposed on the land of Kishion increased sharply.

In addition, they had to pay a fine for post-registration, so there was no reason for the song to be heard in the Kishion estate, where the tax revenue was always low.

At this point, Clayo had no choice but to unpack his pocket.

"Ray, I still don't know if it's right to have you carry my luggage for me."

"I'm already in charge of it, but why are you thinking about it now?"

"My lord doesn't think about that, so I'm going to do a country with thick hair. She'd just be happy to thank you, right?”

Rachel knew the situation as if she had looked at it. That's exactly what happened.

Clayo laughed a little.

"Well, that's the good thing about Arthur. I've been through so much trouble in prison, and I can see that you just woke up.”

"Yes, the toughness of not digging into the back of the pain and the bottom of the situation, but accepting favors and hostility only as much as they have been revealed. That's Arthur's strength and inhumanity."

Clayo was inwardly surprised by the sharp comment.

Cell saw Arthur in a way that was definitely different from the two young twins or the loyal Isiel.

And her opinions were consistent with her in many ways.

Ignorance was the right of the protagonist.

"But I think it's better to have that level of aloofness if you're going to be our king.”

"Sometimes, Ray, I don't know if you're friendly or cold to Arthur.”

"Well, well."

When Rachel's assets were frozen and she had to fill the vacancy, she felt rather "overwhelmed" than thought it was a waste.

"This is a world where there's almost a reason for everything, and God had a plan when he made me a fortune easily.’

Recently Clayo was buying various materials under the pretext of experimentation and investment.

Rachel's books and documents, which had long been dedicated to the work, were of great help.

I'm glad I'm not short of money.

Last year, three million dinars of hotel land rent and 7.8 million dinar, which were previously paid for T-flume magic patents, were divided into deposits, gold and government bonds and maintained proper value.

The profits alone were significant as there were stocks receiving dividends and deposits receiving interest.

The combined revenue from books and patents also reached 1.13 million dinars last year.

In total, financial assets alone were at the left and right of 12 million dinars, and the land market price of Oreles, which is currently opened by Dong Station, has reached 83 million dinars in water.

To put it back in Korean currency, the asset is worth around 100 billion won...But to be honest, it didn't feel real.

I felt that up to 10 million won and 100 million won were money, but now that it is more than that, it seems only in numbers.

"Even if it's 100 billion won, it's just a civilian's purchasing power and a rich man's purchase of a fighter jet. It's not the amount to keep the military.'

Fortunately, this was a world where there was no F22 fighter jets.

Therefore, if the company receives rent and patent fees, it will purchase plenty of Ma Kwang-seok iron to equip it with armor and weapons, and provide Mana Stone arrows to several masters with faint ether sensitivity.

The cost of making a harness for Fran, or purchasing his own Mana Stone, magic books, etc. was mostly covered by the pension.

In addition, there was a lot of pocket money.

Now that I was 19 years old, I thought Gideon was slowly cutting off his allowance, but it was still deposited.

There was something that caused trouble, so I tried to take it off of my allowance and return the bail of Oman Dinar, but it fizzled out when Gideon dropped it with a stern face.

What can I do if you don't answer?’

Either way or not.

He has become detached from 50 million won, far exceeding the previous world's deposit for living rooms.

It was a good thing to have a lot of money. It greatly broadens the radius of action.

Chell, who was watching Clayo with the papers thinking about one thing or another, made a loud noise and drew attention.

"Sorry, Chelsea. I had too many thoughts in front of people."

"No, anyone would do that in that situation."

"I'm really fine. I hope you're a boxy plane or something that's going to be completed soon."

"Oh, it's real this time. Claire Cleavidens's tenses have already flown eight minutes!"

I shouldn't have brought up the plane to Chelsea.

For the next few minutes, it became a lecture on fluid mechanics and aeronautics, the areas that have just sprung up.

Clay lay half-strawed and slopped down the cello's enthusiastic eloquence.

'It's a relief that she recovered so quickly.’

Even if things went like that, Rachel wouldn't give in.

Rather, the move became bolder when he cleared himself of the charges and escaped from the military-run sponsorship issue.

The last big-budget plane she ordered before the Kishion estate incident will add a new light to her career.

with the cell free to fly into the air

The high-rising atmosphere was reversed by Rachel's last words.

"…but Clayo, I think sometimes. It felt unfair to buy my freedom from your own wealth."

Clayo reads the words in Rachel's silver eyes because she hasn't spoken yet.

"But I felt so bad about myself feeling liberated from it."

a noble and noble article in a different way from that of Isiel

The soul of the man who will be the brain god of perforation is so clean.

"I don't know how there are so many kids around Arthur. Even if it's the main character, Buff... Not all people follow God's will correctly.’

Clayo took a serious response and gave a light answer instead of solidifying the atmosphere. It was usually the role of the cello, so I felt like I was changing the structure and talking today.

Aren't you too into theater these days? Rather than worry about me, you should worry about whether your violets club mates are being followed or tapped."

"You don't know that the violets club was an illegal underground organization when it was first established! Do you think we're exercising with such a relaxed attitude? Be careful enough.”

While dealing with Clayo, Rachel's thoughts stretched out in a different direction.

Clayo, a master of the Asher family, had never even come out of Colpos before the age of 17.

I still felt the surprise of such a child hiding his tracks as skillfully as underground activists.

"As Arthur said, is it really because he's chosen by God?’

"…I'm glad to hear that, but please tell me if any of you have experienced anything suspicious."

In Clayo's opinion, even if Melchior investigates, it was highly likely that he would not arrest and lock up the people of the violet club immediately.

There was a pattern in Melchior's attitude toward what first happened in his life.

Just like leaving Clayo loose, he wants to fully observe how the new element works in the narrative and then design the prohibition in his next life.

"It's the way someone is used to waiting a long time. If we don't get caught that this is our last life, we'll be safe for the time being.’

With a little energy, Rachel regained her usual flair.

"Why do you want me to go into exile before I get caught in Beth's honey?"

"Yes, as much as you like. Any country you want."

"This one, you know how to spend money. You're the second son of Asher.”

I was greatly indebted to my colleagues who didn't even know the name or face of the violet club. The biggest contributor to this job.

Although we are in a situation where we can't donate even a large amount of donations for fear of losing our tails, but if anyone is caught by the death of Beth's, is asylum a big deal?

"It's cheap if it's a favor you can repay with money.’

"Yeah, I'm the second son of the Asher family, and you're worried about me with money? Hold on to your worries. Even if it takes forever, I'll get all the interest from Arthur. I always use my loan card."

"Hey, what kind of financial resources do you have for Arthur in the future to pay it all. Even now, the prince is still in a position to wander the pub from the pub at night.”

Even after he almost gave up being a jerk, Arthur never stopped going out into the streets at night.

I'm still young at the age of being mature, but I didn't say anything because I thought there should be a place to let go of at least a corner.

Arthur has always traveled around that street, so he has mastered the lives of the common people, and his skills to get along with people naturally have increased.

It was a great advantage to him.

"He's dressed like a local rascal, but he's the prince on the top of the status quo.’

Clayo also had his own plans.

"But the royal family has a T-Flume."

After Ether disappears from the world, the value of the T-flume will increase by an immeasurable amount.

In addition, even if the ether was maintained in the world due to luck, the value of the T-flume, which made it possible to mass-produce all kinds of harnesses, could not have been lowered.

"If you make yourself comfortable, you won't be able to go back to your uncomfortable days.’

If the people of Albion would benefit from the taxes and land paid to the lord by farm operators as a result of commercial activities, it would be a villain in the world..

"Tiplom mine is entirely royal. After the war, we're going to dig up and export excitedly and make a huge surplus, and we're going to repay it all at once.’

After looking into Clayo's face with a rather faint look, Chell burst into laughter when he found out what he said was true.

"Ray, you really believe in Arthur! You think he's going to be the owner of the T-flume mine. How do you do that?"

Previously, the answer would have been 'the end is fixed and God will do so,' but now the mindset has changed a bit.

Clayo, who was removing the behemoth's fur from my clothes, smiled subtly and slylyly.

"Let's make it impossible."

Until now, he had not been with a half-hearted mind, but he was determined to see the end as long as his money was spent.

***

"Everyone, my explanation. Did you understand?"

On a bright day in June ahead of the summer vacation, a damp silence fell in the lecture room where the entire third and fourth graders of the school gathered.

Ezra Sergev — The young man, deputy head of the Capital Defense Corps' magic squad, and a lecturer in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, drooped his ivory eyebrows.

"As my cute To-soon explained with Epsilon." The beast is a completely different species from the fantasy! Got it, right?

The "Magic Special Lecture" was organized after the final exam and was a subject that only checks attendance but does not calculate grades.

But the reason why even senior boys can't resist is because they're taking a class that's so unruly and unruly..

"Tosoon is made up of all kinds of good, fine, beautiful, and fragrant things. It's completely different from the stinking drinking. What was the composition of Tosooni? Who wants to answer it?

in a twitch

a card trick

Inside the self-expanding circle of Ezra, a part of the table went out in a circle and completely disappeared.

Ezra was still smiling brightly, making it even scarier.
