Munchkin of the Summoning Academy - Munchkin of the Summoning Academy chapter 112
Baby Snake God Medusha (1)
Returning to the ice fortress, Seongju prepared a banquet to commemorate the victory without delay.
It’s certainly a victory worth celebrating, but it’s too rushed.
Isn’t it as if the culprit in this case has already been caught?
Thanks to this, the heart attack that occurred while moving here has become irreversibly hardened.
Originally, I would be suspicious of treason if I dismantled the seal of the Ice and Snow Hell at will…
If you do it now, you can blame both Russell and the rebels.
Of course, from my point of view, it was not at all regrettable.
I blame Russell when I bump into a beak while walking.
However, Medusha attended the banquet with an unusual expression, as if there was still something she did not understand.
The northern banquet did not sit around a huge table, but instead shared the prizes individually.
Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy the food neatly, but it felt less harmonious and stiff.
Besides, my seat is right next to Seong-joo, which adds to the pressure.
However, considering the Demon King’s performance, it was natural for him to be treated like this, so he forcibly turned his back.
Ever since coming here, Eolin, who has suffered from seal checks all the time, went up to the table and ate the food.
Of course, it was against the etiquette of summoning animals, but no one dared criticize her.
The northerners indoors have a refreshing expression on their faces because they have solved their long-standing troubles.
Apparently, the maintenance cost of the seal was no joke.
Eating and drinking with everyone in moderation, I glanced at Elena.
Then, the wise woman takes Elfriede and walks away.
“Oh, Elfriede must be tired. Then we’ll go down first.”
“Yeah? Ah.”
They’ll find out later anyway…
This performance is necessary to have a slightly honest conversation with Seongju.
Seongju, who had seen the two of them with their eyes, turns away as if waiting for a question from this side.
The hall is full of northerners, and it’s moderately fun.
Maybe you don’t have to worry about the story leaking out.
“Earl El Cloud. Is there something you want to ask?”
“Lord, will the criminals try to release the seal again in the near future?”
Everyone already knows that this is your own play.
Seongju smiled bitterly when he asked what it meant.
“It would be nice if it was me, but I can’t cause you any more trouble. Originally, we were trying to get rid of it ourselves…”
“Then why did you have to drag it for two months to release the seal? Because you were going to overwrite the rebels anyway.”
Medusha confidently asks as if she has the right to ask questions.
Seongju answered immediately without difficulty.
“Yeah, if it’s really the Russell’s work, there’s a chance that the investigation will be confused. I didn’t want to deceive you that much.”
“…”
Reasons for being conscientious in their own way.
If we had been dispatched with the knowledge that this case was Russell’s work, the sense of betrayal after finding out the truth would have been enormous.
So, it must have been two months of time to release the seal with the old-fashioned sealing technology.
Eolin sighed as if she knew it would happen next to her, her eyes full of anger, and said in a quarrelsome tone.
“Why would you do this?”
“I would like to sincerely apologize to the professor.”
“It’s okay, tell me why.”
“It costs 20% of our annual budget to keep that bastard seal. That’s all.”
Seongju, who tilted the empty glass, explained as he poured the wine by hand.
I heard that 20% of the operating expenses of the estate were being ripped off every year.
Only then would the White House ever be able to grow.
You have to do well to maintain the status quo. In a bad year, it must have been supported by subsidies from the capital.
Of course, it is natural to check the nobility of the frontier like the White House, but…
This was a bit harsh.
Power enters the man’s hand holding the drink.
Even under the wide-sleeved robe, his arm muscles wriggled.
“Eshas did not accept the request to release the seal. In the year that I received a subsidy from the capital, I couldn’t bring my face to school. Fortunately, things got better for me, but… I can hand over this estate to Christine. there wasn’t.”
“Anyway, you’ve only solved one seal.”
“It was the oldest and most troublesome seal. It’s like the monster sealed hundreds of years ago is eating up 5 pennies every year. Besides, all of the Young Ji-min recruited from the capital are criminals! They can’t be brought into the fortress.”
As a tribute to Eolin for her hard work, the voice that was continuing the awkward respect grew little by little.
The knights were not able to intervene recklessly while watching Seongju from afar.
However, Eolin pointed to the core as if he had no interest in the situation of the northerners.
“So, you want me to perjure you?”
Eolin came here as a support and watchman.
If she reports directly to the academy and the royal family, it’s impossible to blame the rebels for this.
Seongju, with a determined expression on his face, responds shamelessly.
“Professor is preventing civil war between the Kingdom and the North.”
“Kek…”
A bold statement that he would even cause a real rebellion if he did.
Russell and the rebels must have given the country the chaos that gave him courage.
Hearing Seongju’s resolve, even the cat professor became tired.
I stepped in, scratching my chin to soothe her.
In fact, if you look at it, it’s like I’ve been taken advantage of, so my tone doesn’t come out very well.
“For Christine-senpai?”
“Of course. Actually, I don’t plan on giving my daughter the position of lord as much as possible. I don’t like her personality aside from her abilities. I still have the confidence to endure for more than 30 years, so I’d like someone to give my granddaughter a gift as soon as possible.”
“…”
Christine is definitely hard to see as a permanent lord…
The White and Daughters have a small age gap, so it’s not an impossible plan at all.
In fact, didn’t the Westwall Marquess skip his son and take his grandson Michael as his successor?
Satisfied with my reaction, Seongju pushed forward completely.
“How is it? Marquee of El Cloud. Having only two children, the first is the Ice Castle and the second is the next Earl of El Cloud! Of course, vice versa.”
“Hey, stop it! Don’t talk nonsense!”
Medusha, who couldn’t see it, thankfully said a word.
Rebelling against the lord in a space full of northerners is usually not something to be courageous about.
Seongju takes a step back as if admitting that the joke was a bit excessive.
“Of course, their hearts come first. I got married by arrangement, but…”
Even in this day and age, you still support love marriage.
Even a joke is not an easy thing to say.
I pretended not to hear it and took another drink.
“So, when is the next Bong-in search?”
“Huh? That’s…”
It’s like I didn’t expect it to come out like this. Seongju who rarely stutters.
I have decided to serve you very well in no time at all.
It’s not like Eshas won’t even notice the duke of Seongju anyway… just as Eolin said, how much of a difference would it be to remove one seal?
I don’t know if work is hard. Whether it is an immortal monster or an invincible monster, it is enough to send them to the Demon Realm.
Much easier than caring for children in a pet’s house.
“It would be better if you solve it cheaply while I’m there.”
“Lewis. Maybe…”
“I’m serious?”
“master!”
Medusha and Laurier were astonished, as well as Persia, who was devouring refreshments.
Fortunately, Sylvia doesn’t say anything as if supporting me.
I tried to organize my thoughts once more at their cry… but the conclusion did not change.
Considering Eshas, it would be better for me to intervene completely.
Even if I don’t know the North, would I and the Demon King be executed for rebellion?
The odds of the Demon King are only 30%, but in other words, there is a 30% chance that Eshas will die and the kingdom may be destroyed.
Besides, I also have a Medusha who was connected with the Duke of Beltern.
Even Eshas is not an easy opponent to touch.
‘After all, power is supreme. It’s always new and exciting.’
As the handmaiden has pointed out countless times until now.
Now is the time to face my worth.
Seongju, who has a bright smile on his face, asks in a very shy voice.
“Then tomorrow?”
“The day after tomorrow.”
“And the next day! All right. For our friend, Earl Elcloud!”
Eolin sighs as everyone makes a toast in response to Seongju’s call.
She, who was sitting on my lap, lay flat on her back as if she didn’t know what to do.
Then, as the drink went over one after another, Medusha, who seemed a little drunk for some reason, grabbed me and lamented.
“No matter how many times I’ve said it until now, I haven’t heard it… You’ve been very cool for Christine.”
“Okay. Just do what we want Louise to do.”
“Beep!”
Medusha drinks Letty to relieve a hangover.
Persia also seemed to be curious about the taste of the guy, and was standing next to him.
After being treated by Seongju’s side until late at night, I was finally able to change the fieldwork assignment.
You no longer have to go to work at the summoner’s house.
Instead, we started to solve the seals of ice and snow hell one by one.
The Demon King, who always said he would never think that he would help, came out willingly every time he fought a battle and dealt with the masters of the seals.
Thanks to his activity, the eight seals were instantly destroyed.
I got rid of it at about two paces a day.
On the first day, the knights cheered for death, but on the last day, they uttered a murmur filled with despair.
“I was able to do this before…”
“No. The owner of the Demon Realm is on our side, so let’s throw it away with confidence.”
“If it weren’t for the Count right now, can’t you imagine how many people would have died while opening the portal?”
“I hold by myself and open the portal… Does that make sense?”
Thanks to this, all worries about Russell’s dukes disappeared.
When the last day of field training came, Seongju sat me next to me and insisted on boasting about my daughter.
It was a little unfamiliar, but the ingredients for making fun of Christine later became very abundant.
The last day of field training not long after that.
We were able to part with Seongju only after we boarded the train with a lot of northern specialties.
He had been sent off to the village below where the train station was located.
The on-the-job training scores are, of course, perfect.
When I went to Beltern, my conscience hurt because I got perfect marks while playing and eating…
This time, I felt that I deserved a perfect score even if I thought for myself.
Eolin, who was treated with the utmost respect from us, snorts and raises his chin when he sees it.
“Delayed spell… I’m used to opening the portal, too. Let’s master it within the first semester now that it’s already like this.”
“Yes? You said mastery is the goal this semester…”
“Noisy! I don’t know how the hell to report it! What’s all this for you!”
It is also true that Eolin was very embarrassed because of me.
When she got annoyed, Elfriede quickly took out a special snack and brought it to her.
Eolin swung her sharp claws, but quickly grabbed it and ate it.
“Oh, really… Am I just saying everything?”
“Of course. Professor.”
“Upper tail! Sides! Yeah…”
It was only for a while that he was conducting me with a hot voice.
As usual, Professor Cat quickly got tired of even being angry.
Arriving in the capital by train, we headed to the villa, thankful that tomorrow is the weekend.
The waitress waiting in the yard didn’t even ask what had happened, as if she had already received a report.
Instead, it doesn’t seem like you did a good job.
Eolin, who naturally joined the ranks and entered the main building, snorts a little.
“Look at this…”
“You worked hard for the field training, Master. I’ve accumulated a lot of letters during that time, so let’s take a look after dinner.”
“Madame! You and I worked really hard in the North! So give me chicken, chicken!”
“All right.”
Engaging in the excitement, he snatched Persia running around and entered the main building.
The waitress, who delivered the appetizers right away, brought along a pile of letters.
Inviting me to a party or social gathering, or proposing a business, alliance, or even marriage.
I want to use it to start a fire, but I can’t even throw it away because I’m afraid of important information.
All letters exchanged by our ancestors are kept intact in our family’s library.
“Is this enough for two weeks?”
“Wow, reading all of this makes the night over!”
“Sir Count. Excuse me.”
With the overwhelming amount of content already on his tongue, the highest-ranking of Beltern’s servants politely put down a letter.
The wax that sealed the envelope is hardened in the shape of a snake.
Needless to say, an official document sent directly from the Welttern family.
Seeing that this was done without sending it through Elfriede, it seems like an invitation to an official event.
“This…”
“Let’s eat it all and open it.”
It is also not polite to rip these things off during a meal.
I turned the front paw of Persia, who was going towards the envelope, toward the chicken dish, and grabbed my fork.
