chapter 113
113. Virtual Coronation (3)
1.
“……what?”
Brain working at full capacity.
What did Arwen just say? If my ears aren’t deceiving me, I think I heard the word copulation.
Haha, just kidding.
“…….”
For some reason, Arwen hung her head in shame and didn’t answer, so I thought I must have misheard because of the devil in my head, so I asked again.
“I think I misheard you. I just heard something really weird. Could you tell me what you said again?”
“…….”
An ominous silence fell.
No, I just wish you would tell me that I’ve been piling up these days and that I’ve been possessed by a pervert in my head, or that I just misheard you.
Copulation? Surely it’s not what I think it is.
Heavy silence.
From my perspective, a slightly embarrassed silence fell over my son-in-law.
The words were blurted out as if they were saying something incredibly embarrassing, or as if they were saying they didn’t know what to do and were just giving up.
Copulation.
Copulation.
No, I don’t know why I have to keep repeating these words to myself like a pervert, but if you replace difficult vocabulary with more direct and simple words, there are commonly used words.
“s*x?”
“……Don’t speak so loudly, it’s embarrassing.”
“No, this was real.”
What the heck, is this some freaking hilarious hidden camera footage? Or is it just a s*x joke that’s suddenly making the mood worse? Arwen’s expression was too serious to make me think.
“…That, Arwen.”
“……I am listening.”
“Why on earth was the last resort that was kept so tightly hidden and saved until the very end, with such a grand title, but when you actually look at the contents, it was actually s*x?”
“…….”
Arwen closed her mouth. Then, as if she had made up her mind about something, she muttered with a resentful look in her eyes.
“……I still don’t understand why it had to be me who explained this. I just wish it wasn’t me.”
“Do other people know about this too…?”
“Then you don’t know?”
Arwen sighed and began to explain.
“Think about it carefully. Isn’t the fundamental cause of your lifespan being eaten away by the magical energy that is overly concentrated in your body?”
“yes.”
“If we knew the reason why humans accumulate so much magical power in their bodies, we could find a way to do it, but we still don’t know whether it’s some kind of curse or simply a special constitution.”
“however?”
“So, in the end, it may not be a fundamental solution, but this is the conclusion we reached while looking for a stopgap measure to hold onto your lifeline. The gist is to maximize the efficiency of magical power transfer through periodic intercourse and release the magical power accumulated in your body.”
Still, even though I had now risen to the ranks of the court magician and grand magician class, I wasn’t stupid enough to not understand such a simple explanation.
It sounds like nonsense, but you understand what it means in your head and mutter, “Oh? That makes sense?” The contradiction.
“It’s the same principle as removing toxins from the human body.”
“If you let out all your energy, wouldn’t the condensed magical power naturally disappear as well? Even if you have s*x four or five times in one night, it’s obvious that your magical power will recover in a few days, given your constitution.”
“…Then why don’t we just use magic recklessly and waste all our magical power?”
“Is it possible?”
“aha.”
Arwen’s question was quickly answered.
I don’t know if it’s because of this constitution, but the magic I use has overwhelming magical power efficiency. It’s not like there’s no room to just attack with full power without any moderation, but if I were to drain all my magical power simply by using magic, I’d have to use magic for at least half a day.
However, it was not possible to continue receiving the treatment that I had received at Sylphia’s Lair on a regular basis, so even if it was just a stopgap measure, it was the easiest and most convenient solution.
“But of all things, that method is a bit… The method is a bit like that…”
“…….”
It’s not like it’s a room where you can’t leave unless you do XX or something.
It was true that I was embarrassed because it was a setting that seemed like something out of a pornographic comic book, saying that if you want to live, you have to have s*x regularly.
… … Well, complaining won’t change anything. I guess I’ll just have to accept it.
And just as Arwen sensed the presence and cast her spell to turn herself back into a cat, the door to the waiting room opened and the Earl of the Palace stuck his face in.
“It’s time to start preparing, we’re going to resume the appointment ceremony.”
“yes.”
Well, let’s think about this more carefully later.
First of all, I need to finish the appointment ceremony I was doing.
2.
This appointment ceremony for Ludrick had more meaning than Ludrick had thought.
In addition to the nobles who filled the hall with curiosity, there were also many nobles who visited as ambassadors of major countries or as consuls of other countries, which was proof of this.
“At first, I attended with a light heart, but I guess this wasn’t it.”
“Another outstanding talent has appeared in the Empire. Even the new court magician’s teacher was a monster that was difficult to handle.”
“That’s right. It’s a blessing for the empire.”
The nobles who visited as diplomats from each country were whispering among themselves.
There is also a saying that diplomats are originally white agents. One of the duties of a diplomat is to use the legal status of a diplomat to gather information from the other country by any means necessary.
As a result, the taste buds of the nobles of each country were bitter.
Lorenzo’s unexpected death was considered a blessing, but when I looked into it, it was actually a curse.
Even if only half of the rumors circulating about the new court wizard were true, the Esgelant Empire’s system would be built on a more solid foundation.
“You fought a dragon and won? That’s ridiculous.”
“Still, it’s hard to believe that the Empire, which is called Esgelant, handled things so sloppily……”
“The empire’s hegemony will be further strengthened.”
To put it simply and simply, Ludrick’s presence was like a nuclear weapon. He alone could handle the work that the military had to do, and his presence alone was a powerful deterrent.
It is impossible to deal with it unless you involve Matap, who has traditionally been at a distance from politics.
The nobles of each country who came to this conclusion watched the appointment process with jealous eyes.
Ludrick on the podium was being inaugurated as a court magician, with the ceremonial sword held by the Crown Princess resting on his shoulder, in a process similar to the inauguration of knights.
On the outside, he looked like a boy who had just become an adult, but for the next few decades, if the Empire threatened to deploy the boy, he would have no choice but to back down even if conflict broke out.
Clap clap clap!
Regardless of the foreign intentions, thunderous applause and cheers shook the hall.
“handsome!”
Although others looked at Rasil with puzzlement as he whistled and shouted, they cheered the birth of a new court magician.
The conclusion of the appointment ceremony, which was held in a solemn atmosphere throughout.
“This concludes the appointment ceremony for Ludrick Weiss as the court magician.”
The formal ceremony ended with the declaration of Count Palatine Voltaire.
Now it was time for the after-party banquet. Several nobles who had been watching Ludrick with eagle eyes approached him to try to establish a relationship, but Ludrick chose to be with his family.
“What about your little sister? I haven’t even seen her face yet.”
“It’s an academy exam. I wanted to participate, but I couldn’t come because I was worried. I also have a security schedule, so I took it out and came.”
Serilla answered Ludrick’s question as he headed towards the table where his family was.
And even Ludrick’s parents, whom he meets for the first time in months.
Count Alin Weiss forgot all about his manners and burst into tears.
“……Keum, whose son is he? He has grown up really well. I never thought I would see such success in my family during my lifetime.”
“Honey, you don’t have to show tears.”
Ludrick’s father added, glancing at Count Weiss, whose face was filled with emotion.
“Just a few months ago, you were a source of frustration for your parents, not even thinking about getting married at that age, but now you’ve become successful.”
“marriage…….”
Ludrick’s face darkened at the joke.
I had forgotten for a moment, but if I were to turn what Ludrick had said into fact, I would face some formidable obstacles.
Even just telling my parents in front of me that I had someone to marry was a problem.
‘I think both of your parents will like it, but… … .’
Ludrick, who had been thinking, shook his head.
In this day and age, twenty is a bit late. Soon, when you turn twenty-one, the number will drop and you will just be old. So, if you say you want to get married, your parents should be happy.
If there’s a problem though.
‘What would you say if I told you there were five people you wanted to marry?’
Ludrick shook his head, imagining his parents’ reactions for a moment.
It was certain that this would go down as the scandal of the century that would be remembered for a long time in the history of the empire. And when I brought it up, I could not even imagine what my parents’ reaction would be.
Everyone is happy right now, so it takes a certain amount of courage to bring up the subject and dampen the mood.
There were still some things he hadn’t heard from Elena, and Ludrick, who didn’t have the courage to do so, thought to himself with an awkward laugh.
‘Let’s just wait a moment.’
