Episode 136. Proof in the midst of confusion
When we look at it objectively, Wesley was truly a great person.
No one knew her real name or age, which suggested that she came from the bottom of the bottom. She eventually achieved the honor of being the youngest minister, the honor of being the head of the Ministry of Magic, and even the position of lover of 2nd Prince Gale, the second most powerful person in the empire. She counted on her hands those who had achieved as much success as she had in the empire.
“Well, no way… . Ian, anyway, wouldn’t that be a bit much? “Minister Wesley is trying to turn His Excellency Gale into an undead.”
Romandro looked like he couldn’t believe it after hearing Ian’s words. Even though it was my home, I secretly lowered my voice for fear of being heard.
“But with the current situation, I can’t come up with any other hypothesis. “I think they were trying to find a detour due to the blessings of the imperial palace.”
“Well, if you say it’s a blessing from the imperial palace, does that mean mind control magic doesn’t work in the imperial family?”
Romandro’s eyes widened again. It certainly seems like they were together all day, but where does Ian pick up that information? As expected, wizards were a bit different, so I let out a light exclamation.
“That’s right. The results of undead magic are similar to mind control magic. Because you can control the target at will. However, the magic itself is different, and if you go deeper, it is closer to witchcraft than magic.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know much about that.”
“Magic is possible only if you have magical power, and witchcraft doesn’t matter even if you don’t have magical power. Mystical power is created through lineage, personal training, or various objects.”
Harsha was such a case. Although he doesn’t have magical powers, he has a lineage of sorcerers passed down through his family, and didn’t he create undead using his own secret method? The more Ian explained, the more he felt like he was reading Wesley’s hidden intentions.
“So, if someone wants to control the royal family, they must find a method other than magical power. It’s clear that it was her Wesley who tried to turn the currently living into her undead, and she has no other motive than Gale to do that, right?”
“Ho, what if His Majesty Gale ordered Wesley to do it?”
That was definitely a possibility. Since he was a rebellious person, he would naturally be targeting the Emperor or Marib. but… … .
“no. It’s more likely that Gail doesn’t know.”
The historical record that necromancy was not used in the rebellion convinced Ian. If Gale had known, he would have tried to use necromancer without any hesitation. History would definitely have changed.
“If so, what do you plan to do now? Minister Wesley is a great source of power to Gale, and he is a threat to Marib, so it seems like it will be a great opportunity.”
“I think the same way.”
“Wesley… … .”
Romandro covered his mouth. It was a burdensome thing for him to say out loud, but Ian smiled brightly and took it lightly.
“I guess I’ll have to cut it off.”
The current Ministry of Magic is rotten. If the water above changes, the water below will also change completely. This meant a better future for Bariel. Also, it would be able to effectively stop Gale, who was trying to rebel against the Ministry of Magic.
‘But there’s something that catches me again. Wesley is clearly giving Gail the greatest strength right now. But will Gail be able to dispose of her so easily? You can use the excuse of her love to persuade her in a different way and keep her by your side.
There is no choice but to use Wesley to defeat Gale, and to use Gale to defeat Wesley. In that case, just give Gail one choice.
‘If there are no problems with the Ministry of Magic without Wesley, and furthermore, if there are no problems with the rebellion… We can cut Wesley out then. That means she needs her wizard to take her place.’
Of all the people Ian knows at the Ministry of Magic, is there anyone worthy of such greatness? does not exist. A person named Hale from the Magic Management Department seems dependable, but we don’t know for sure yet, and seeing as he had a fling with Wesley, it was clear that he wouldn’t be a good match for Gale.
‘Then I guess I’ll have to do it. In terms of magical power, I think I’m the only one who can match it.’
The tangled threads in Ian’s mind were unraveling one by one. As the child’s eyes continued to shine despite the silence, Romandro could only watch from the side.
“Ian, what are you thinking about?”
“Ah, Mr. Romandro. “Hurry up and say hello to Madame Vivianna.”
“To Vivianna? why?”
“It looks like you won’t be able to come home for a while.”
Romandro looked shocked at the sudden declaration.
“Why, why?”
“If Mayor Karenna’s letter reached Wesley, he would know right away that we know about the undead. It’s only a matter of time. “At most, I expect it to take three days.”
“That means… … .”
“They will definitely try to get rid of us.”
Coo! I feel like my heart is falling. In that case, run away right away, no. Where could he run away with his pregnant wife?
“Well, I guess I’ll have to ask Her Majesty Mariv for help!”
“no. “I will speak to you directly at a later opportunity.”
“Is that okay?”
“of course. That is how it must be done.”
Ian continued to lightly flick his fingertips while giving instructions to Romandro. It is not a habit that comes from organizing complex thoughts.
“By the way, before entering the palace, please bring some of the Ruron Magic Stones that I left behind. One loaf will do. And as I asked, you can come to my place after working in the administration.”
“where? To the Ministry of Magic?”
“no. “To His Majesty Gale’s palace.”
“what? “Are you serious?”
“I’m serious. And by any chance, do you know when the appointment of senior executives will be held in the New Year?”
“Uhm. for a moment.”
Romandro looked at the calendar and tried to remember. One day not too far away, a meeting will be held where key officials, including the emperor, will gather to reorganize the country’s personnel. And based on the results, an appointment ceremony will be held within a few days.
“I expect it to be around next week.”
“The timing is just right.”
“I’m not sure what will happen with the Sildam potion issue. Let’s take a closer look at this too. The conflict between each department has intensified… Ugh, it’s been a bit like this these days.”
“It’s a good thing for us.”
“hmm? why?”
“Because he who wins amidst chaos proves his ability.”
Ian lightly shook his hands and stood up. The idea was to move slowly now.
“I will stop by the Ministry of Magic and then go to His Majesty Gale’s palace. “I’ll see you after sunset.”
“Well, let’s do that. But what about this guy?”
“Wow.”
Beric, who had fallen asleep peacefully, scratched his chin. We need someone to protect Vivianna and Minnie against Wesley, but the guard isn’t that alert… … .
“Leave it. Since I was born, I can count on one hand the number of days my child has exploded so badly. “The key now is to act before Wesley, so let’s get moving.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Sigh.
Ian put the letter in his pocket and then hurried to get ready to go out again. The same goes for Roman Dro. The two shared a carriage and exchanged glances to see each other inside the imperial palace.
“Oh my, where should I take you two?”
“We will go separately. “Let’s go to the Ministry of Magic.”

“Hey, we’re in a commercial district.”
“Ah, yes. All right!”
The two people’s carriage was running in a straight line and was torn apart at a crossroads. Ian was heading to the palace, and Romandro was heading to the Luron magic stone cache.
Heehee!
Crack, crackle!
Romandro looked back at Ian’s carriage as it continued to move away due to worry. In fact, Ian kept his head held straight and was busy calculating numbers in his head.
“Ehyo.”
This is why the imperial palace is so chaotic. Romandro just promises again and again that he will retire at some point and go down to the countryside with Vivianna.
“But where on earth has Harsha gone?”
* * *
Meanwhile, Harsha was running mercilessly through a back alley that was muddy with melting snow. How could it be that she was so frustrated that she walked around the neighborhood alone?
yes! Ang!
The familiar scent of hometown fills my nose. Her heart sank as it seemed like it would disappear with just one blow of wind. Harsha continued to move her four feet busily, following her little traces.
‘It’s the smell of Astanain!’
To be exact, the smell of spices mainly used in Astana. Although it had been a long time since the unique smell, sour yet sweet, was clearly engraved in Harsha’s memory.
Percussion!
If it’s a trend, and by any chance, if it’s from the same faction as Heavenly Tao, it might take you all the way to Astana. In Astana, necromancy is the mainstay, but isn’t there a small faction that worships various types of magic and maintains it traditionally? Even if it is not my body, I may find a way to return to being human again.
Everything was a hope that came from the faint smell of spices that passed by.
‘Is this about it? no. I need to go in more! Please go a little slower! ‘Dongdong-in!’
“Oh my, what a dog… … .”
“Go away, you bastard!”
“Oh my, why are you suddenly rushing at me?”
Harsha followed the scent as quickly and closely as possible using his small body. Pushing through piles of her boxes, jumping between old men drinking on her sidewalk, she wasn’t afraid to step into cold puddles.
Percussion!
And before I knew it, I was getting close enough to feel like I was inside the smell instead of chasing it. Harsha looked around her, hiding her presence as much as possible. She lived in a shady, dirty, dark alley with no signs of popularity.
“ha ha ha! so?”
“Don’t say anything, I grabbed you by the collar and you started screaming. “I’ve never seen someone cry that much.”
“Bluff, indeed. It gets worse as the days go by. hmm. “It increases.”
“No, it’s real?”
At that time, I heard the sound of grumpy men coming out of the building. Judging from the fact that he was holding a cigarette in his hand, it appears that he was taking a break from doing something inside.
“hmm? what?”
Even if you just look at them, they look rough and unusual. His skin was covered with cuts here and there, his hair had poor hygiene, and his eyes were half-baked, and he looked dangerous.
“A dog?”
“That’s right, it’s a dog.”
Harsha couldn’t find the time to go back and froze on the spot. Although they seemed to be drooling in embarrassment, they just puffed on her cigarette, thinking Harsha was just an ordinary dog.
“What are you looking at, you bitch!”
“I think they’re going to eat me up. Hahaha!”
“Oh, you’re really hungry when you say that? Parkens, when are you coming back? You have to organize your daily wages so I can go to the bar or not. iced coffee. really.”
Parkens? Harsha’s ears perked up.
Because it was a name I had heard many times. She was just sniffing the floor and pretending not to hear, but he was still watching them with his white eyes.
“So, I heard the product is quite salty this time? What did they say? Uh, uh, un… … .”
“Undead, man! “No matter how many times I hear it, I still can’t understand it.”
“that’s right. Anyway, wouldn’t that make a lot of money?”
“omg!”
Harsha let out an exclamation without realizing it. Parkens, I remember. The slave merchant in Karenna who was said to have used his magic to create undead and sell them to the thieves! The name of the slave merchant was Parkens!
“omg?”
“Is that what you just said?”
“No, I didn’t say anything?”
Panting! Heh!
The men flicked away the cigarette ash and slowly turned their heads. The only thing here is a white dog?
Harsha drooled as much as he could and made an expression that said, ‘I don’t know anything.’ shit.
