"Mr. Ruerno—"

Maggie Easyr clenched her right fist and slammed it the solid tabletop, her face extremely ugly, "What the hell are you thinking?!"

An angry roar echoed through the room, and while the good news such as the arrival of the Potions Forge and the completion of the Mage Academy was frequent, a piece of bad news reached the ears of the Magic Emperor—

Unrequested, unauthorized, and unapproved, the chief of the Court Mage Society, Ruerno Luchez, asked the second chair, Charlemagne, to represent the Court Mage Society and the Kurkut Empire to file a claim for compensation to the mage's holy land, Cloudsdale!!

What is this?!

"Do you really think of me?"

Maggie Easy's eyes were red, and her face let out a fierce roar: "Teacher Ruerno, this is the third time I've asked - what are you thinking?!"

Standing behind his desk, the Magic Emperor trembled with rage, and it wasn't the incident itself that angered him the most, but the calm expression on his face as the head of the Court Mage Guild, his grandfather, his father, and his own teacher.

It's like it's all under his control!

His indifferent look pierced Maggie Easy's heart deeply, and made him angry and jealous!

The stiff index finger was no longer able to make Ruerno think subconsciously like before, so the Magic Emperor didn't know if his teacher was already in thought.

He also knows very well that he has only a few years left to live as a teacher, and he is not sure exactly how many years it is, but the life span will definitely not be very long.

Now that Rourno Luches is dying, it looks like the day when he will lie in a coffin is not far off.

Maggie Isser gasped and stared straight at her teacher, waiting for his answer.

"I'm ......"

After a long time, Ruerno slowly spoke, and Maggie Easyr subconsciously held her breath and listened intently.

The old man said softly, "Leave aside the relationship with 'Cloud City'. ”

The Magic Emperor's pupils shrank, and at this moment, he really felt that his teacher might be 'crazy', otherwise how could he say such a thing?

But looking at his still indifferent face, Maggie Yiser's heart trembled slightly, and she only felt bitterness in her mouth, and involuntarily took a deep breath, and asked painfully, "Teacher...... Are you really not kidding?"

"There's a problem with Cloudsdale!

Ruerno calmly explained: "In the past eight hundred years, Cloud City has not landed, and that floating city has been suspended over the continent, even if they have maintained the magic energy furnace during this period, but the loss is inevitable. Originally, we didn't think there was anything wrong with this, until a new magic furnace appeared in the Duchy of Sorrow, and there was also a 'damage', that we realized that something was wrong - Cloudsdale had probably already researched the technology to make the magic furnace, but they had been hiding it, even the last time Charlemagne visited, they were still hiding it. They obviously didn't need to, but they kept this news hidden, there must be some conspiracy......"

The Magic Emperor was stunned and asked in disbelief, "...... Is it just because of a guess? Wouldn't they themselves be aware of this low-level mistake in Cloudsdale?"

The thin right hand clenched the head of the staff, and Ruerno frowned slightly, "A guess is enough! Whether they themselves noticed it, or if they really didn't study the technology of the magic furnace, we don't know anything - for us, just guessing is enough to make the empire cut ties with them." ”

Maggie Eater was stunned for a moment, then his eyes gradually changed from panic to pity, and he looked at the old man in front of him faintly, as if he were looking at a stranger.

"Teacher......" he took a breath and lamented, "You are old, for the sake of your body, you can already go back and rest...... You are not in good health, so let's give up the position of chief to someone else with more energy!"

"Really?"

Unexpectedly, Maggie Eater saw that her teacher, who had become unusually old, did not make any objections, and simply nodded neatly, "Okay, this position will be given to Charlemagne, he is smart enough and cautious enough, Elba is too impulsive and does not have much patience to sit in this position." ”

"Then Your Majesty, can I leave?"

...... Maggie Easy's eyes were blank and she slumped into her chair.

With his back clinging to the back of his chair, the old man's calm and indifferent face when he left had been deeply engraved in his mind, and until now, he still couldn't break free.

What did his teacher, the head of the Court Mage Guild, do behind his back?

The Magic Emperor suddenly became flustered, for he had no idea what Rulno Luches had done in the years since he had recovered from his injuries—he didn't know anything!

No, it's not that he doesn't know anything, it's just that he only understands a few superficial things, and secretly, he obviously does more.

Just like this incident, if there was no news coming to light, he, the emperor, would not even know what his subordinates had done.

Maggie Easy's mind was in turmoil, with countless delusions and bits of information fleeting, but they all came from his own imagination, because he really didn't know—he didn't know anything!

Looking back now, it seems that from 'that day', the situation has gotten out of control......

From the day he approved the establishment of diplomatic relations between the empire and the elves, this matter was facilitated by Ruerno Luches, but according to the damage caused by the empire to the elves before, the elves would never have established diplomatic relations with them.

Originally, he thought that Ruerno Luchez, his teacher, would 'go crazy' to do these things because he was dying, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that this is not the case.

When he left, he still had a calm look of 'everything under control', that is, until now, even his own deprivation of the 'chief' position was in his calculations!

The Mage Academy has been successfully established, and the enrollment is nearing the end, at this point in time, it is impossible to be stopped, because the people who signed up for the Mage Academy come from all over the empire, they have the children of small nobles, the children of rich merchants, and even the nobles and the rich merchants themselves.

No matter who it is, it is offending them to stop now, so this thing must not be done.

The 'Potions Furnace' is impossible to discard, on the contrary, they have to build their own potions production factory to make more money.

Many aristocrats are already eyeing this, so it is impossible to stop.

Then now only the border trade town remains, but this is a sign of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the empire and the elves, if it stops now, then the elves continue to be held accountable, and it will still be a problem.

Although their empire was not afraid of this trouble, why should he stop it when everything was getting better?

All...... It's all in the calculations!

Everything was in the calculations of Lurno Luches, who had already calculated all this, but as the emperor of this empire, he had never heard of these things.

Maggie Easy's face was ugly, and she only felt that her heart was unusually troubled, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her chest.

Is there a follow-up?

Is there a follow-up to these events?

What exactly has Luno Luchez done in the past few years?

What the hell did he do?!

Maggie Isser couldn't imagine why his teacher was doing these things behind his back......

Suddenly, his heart jumped, and the magic emperor suddenly thought of a very terrible thing.

Could it be that after he refused the 'invitation', his teacher continued to subvert the plans of the Imperial nobility?!!!
