Return of the Class 8 Mage
52.1. Break the limit (3)

From grade 6 onwards, there were only a few records left.

No one 'official' reaches that level. Hence there were only a few spells known for such a class. In his previous life, Ian made a self-usable spell, or found some formulas from old unknown resource books.

"From now on, the best soldiers from Pieric Province will protect Sir Ian with me, you guys. With the honor of a true warrior, we will not allow even a little mouse to approach him. Did you copy it?"

In the dungeons of the castle of Pieric Province, the great landlord gymnasium, Yama Pieric, is abandoned.

Together with the great landlord with his dueling axe, his soldiers blocked the road completely. With Ian's help, they protect Ian to the best of their ability.

"Okay, my master!"

Inside such protection, there was Ian's 'main body' lying on the wall, unknowingly. With the mage performed 'Mary,' who gave up disguising himself as a man.

'If there's a problem, inject mana in my head. Then I'll wake up.'

That's what Ian asked of Mary.

Thanks to that, he was positioned right next to Ian.

'I've never seen such a miracle.'

Mary recalled the spell Ian had spoken.

It seems similar to the Mirror Image spell, but its characteristics are completely different.

'What's his name? Puppet, right?'

Playing Doll.

Literally, Ian is 'playing the doll'.

While the 'Mirror Picture' spell only created a false illusion that could do nothing but stand up, this grade-6 spell was much more than that. Not only were these two puppets able to move freely, but also these puppets were able to cast 5th class magic. The main body became unconscious and became a 'controller', and it was the weakest point of this spell.

(ED Note: jeezus 2 Tower Lords is basically ...).

"Let's focus, focus."

Mary stopped thinking deeply.

As Ian had asked of her, she was paying attention and alert.

"He told me to protect him."

He didn't tell her what he did with Puppet Play, but Ian was his life-saver, wasn't he? Not only him, but all those great warriors, warriors, and landlords owed Ian their lives. To return the favor, they all focused on protecting Ian.

(ED Notes: ...Am I the only one who thinks the mantra sounds a little .... just a little dirty?? huh uh? no?)

"You're coming! You're coming!"

Crown Prince Hayden spoke loudly like an excited little boy.

He's very relieved now.

Ian showed up at the best moment.

It was a glimmer of hope for the Crown Prince.

"I'm sure we're connected! I was just about to call you. I even asked the captain. Haha!"

The Crown Prince only took a few seconds to regain his confidence. Ian did not come here to support the Crown Prince, but it made Ian smile. Maybe because he was the man who spent the most time with Ian except his family?

"I'm probably starting to like it."

Ian's second life was different from his previous life in many aspects.

After the parable, Ian looked at Tower Lord and Ragnar.

It was nice to see their embarrassed faces.

'He made the same face when I destroyed the storage mana a few years ago.'

Especially the Tower Lord's face turned anxious.

Although he arranged his face quite well, but Ian had long enough to see the expression on his face.

"Ah, that's you, Ian."

Pretending he was fine, Tower Lord approached.

He said to Ian as usual.

"I heard you completed the mission successfully, based on reports from the great landlord Pieric. I heard it was so hard that it knocked you unconscious. You did a good job for the Empire."

"This is my job, I do what I have to do."

Ian answered as usual.

It was a typical conversation between Tower Lord and Archmage.

But soon,

"However, what are you doing here? If you have enough rest, you should go back to the Ivory Tower and do your business. Maybe, you didn't hear about what happened to your family ..."

"I received a letter from the Ivory Tower. However, I also received a letter from the Emperor, His Majesty ordering me to come here and help the Crown Prince, Your Majesty."

While saying that, Ian showed the Emperor a letter.

Not the secret letter Ian had read before.

It was an official order document attached to the letter.

"Can I read it?"

"As you wish."

It was an order with the stamp of Emperor Terry Greenriver.

After checking his stamp, the Tower Master began to read the letter nervously.

'I knew he was going to do something, but...'

He did not expect this letter to be handed over to Ian successfully, or that Ian would decide to come here while leaving his family.

'It looks like a lucky lady smiled at you this time, Your Majesty.'

However, Mr. Tower did not want Ian to join the embassy, of course. In addition, there are many reasons to refuse Ian to join the KBRI. He has a backup plan.

"I can see it is an order from the Emperor, Your Majesty, but I'm afraid you can't join us."

On the quiet reaction of Mr. Tower

"Why? Do you dare to go against my father's will?"

The Crown Prince reacted angrily.

Of course, the Tower Master did not care about him at all.

"Your Majesty. This council is about trust between three countries. We have agreed to limit the number of embassies and guards. We agreed, we can't just change the number of our embassies. Hmhhh!"

After a short pause, the Tower Master continued his words.

"The basis of diplomacy is trust, my lord, even one additional soldier will cause great trouble. Then, how can we add arch mage to our embassy? I'm sure the Emperor knows the importance of this council, and he'll understand my actions. ."

What Tower Lord said was true.

Although these three countries were not at war, they had fought each other for a long time. Thus the three countries will meet in one place with reclaimers, soldiers and embassies of each country. They treated this meeting quite sensitively, and they barely held this meeting with much consideration. If any of the countries tried to oppose this agreement, the meeting would be destroyed in the beginning.

"The foundation of diplomacy is trust, indeed."

Ian acknowledged the reason for the Tower Master.

Archmage is like a war machine. Already 2 Archmages and one Tower Lord were involved in the embassy. What would happen if one more Archmage was added to the list?

"The meeting will be completely destroyed."
