Return of the Class 8 Mage
54. unexpected heroes (2)

'Well, everyone for his trade, they said.'

During this week, that was Ian's evaluation of the crown prince. He did not have poor memorization skills. Of course Ian backed him up with some supporting spells to ease his fatigue, but still, he did more than Ian expected.

"He really impressed me."

Since Ian did not expect it at all, the crown prince's learning spirit deeply touched Ian's heart. It was the best moment the crown prince had ever experienced Ian.

'Of course, dealing in real situations is a different story.'

The council will be held at the neutral city hall of Demidera, its largest meeting room. Only reclaimers from each country, one high-ranking soldier can make decisions about their troops and supplements, and two arch mages who can discuss magical support are allowed to attend the meeting.

"There are many familiar faces."

Ian has rewired his time, and the ultimate hero uniting the three nations into one. He knows most of the celebrities from each country.

"I hope he's not depressed."

Will the crown prince set himself up to make his own speech? Ian started to worry before it even started.

'Wait. Why am I worried about him?'

Ian scratched his girl awkwardly. He had never imagined that one day would come he was worried about the crown prince. Except for mom, Ledio and Douglas, this is the first time Ian has ever worried about someone in his new life.

"Maybe, this isn't my first time."

Suddenly, he remembered 5 years ago that he sent advice to the crown prince about fashionable society. He did so because he was worried about the crown prince.

'...... Let's stop thinking about it.'

Ian was trying to deny himself,

The referee of this meeting, the mayor of 'Engolo' has entered into a large council room. He was wearing a pretty formal outfit

"My name is Engolo Navil, the 19th mayor of Demidera, the referee of this council. From now on, every word we say here will be recorded, and I have the authority to stop this meeting, in case of an emergency. Please remind me of that."

With the introduction of the mayor, the council has begun. Because it has been 10 years from the last meeting of 3 countries, the atmosphere became heavy and full of nervousness. There are more than 3 thousand soldiers from each country living near the city. Direct intermediaries are definitely required from the third person.

"As you know, since our Kingdom's path to the vast prairie is narrow and rough, we cannot operate large squads and supporting supplements. So, we want to support this subjugation by witches and elite knights rather than soldiers, and money rather than supplements."

The initial topic was to decide on the support of the army and its methods.

The true social power-holder of the Lo kingdom, Duke of Benart, his son 'Maxwell Benart' spoke his first claim with the official language of the continent. Although it was not her mother tongue, she spoke fluently.

"Actually, we've talked about this with Coldwood Empire before. Ah, don't misunderstand me. If Greenriver Empire weighs this decision, we'll be happy to discuss it again."

While saying that, Maxwell looked at Hayden Greenriver. Soon, others were looking at him as well. The problem was only their 'eyes' were pointing towards the crown prince.

'Their ears are focused on Ragnar.'

They already had enough information about the crown prince. The next edition of Greenriver Empire is quite famous. The current great emperor kept trying to replace the crown prince, but this foolish crown prince did not make it easy. They also knew the talent of the 5th prince.

'Speak, as you have trained.'

Only Ian hoped the crown prince would give a proper answer to this in the meeting room. Ian was more desperate.

"......."

However, crown prince Hayden could not open his mouth easily. The 5th prince Ragnar, who was sitting next to him, prepared to start his speech as he knew it. He was certain that this idiot crown prince would not be able to answer.

"Instead of His Highness the Crown Prince, I..."

When Ragnar was about to begin his speech, he,

"...... About the army's support,"

The crown prince began his speech as he made up his mind.

Immediately, everyone's ears focused on the crown prince.

"I will grant authority to the great commander of our Empire, the perfect strategic leader, Myth Dunken. I already have a war expert here, so I don't have to say it myself, do I?"

The crown prince's voice was filled with nervousness.

Although his voice trembled slightly, but he did not waver

"Mr Dunken."

"Ah, yes. I'll give you an answer instead."

Praising the great commander quickly set his mind. He was not ashamed of the crown prince's praise, but his attitude. He did not expect the crown prince to say that.

"As this old man thought, about the request of the Lo Kingdom....."

Although puzzled by the crown prince's actions, Myth Dunken did his best for what he commanded. He thought Ragnar would be a better Emperor, but he was still very loyal to the current Emperor and his country. He did what he could for his Empire.

'Good start.'

With the view, Ian was relieved.

The start of the meeting was much better than Ian had expected. Although the crown prince only answered the expected questions, he chose the correct answer among the many answers he prepared with Ian.

"Continue on."

Not only worried, now Ian began to encourage the crown prince.

Ian did not deny himself for the time being.

That guy did something good.

Which Ian thought was just an idiot doing his job really well.

'Let people reconsider about your true talents.'

After that, the board flew relatively smoothly. The crown prince spoke when he had to, and was silent when he had to. He strictly followed what Ian had taught him, which he had practiced more than a thousand times.

'The last moment will come.'

Ian is comfortable now.

As he expected, soon they would discuss about 'dividing' the territory and resources of the great meadows after the conquest.

"The most important part of today's meeting."

Not only Ian, but everyone else thought this was the most important thing.

The vast grasslands were prosperous. Many resources are expected to come out of the field. Sharing it fairly, or taking advantage in this process is the biggest goal of today's meeting for the three countries.

"Let's handle this straight."

The crown prince of the Coldwood Empire, 'Hector Coldwood' said as he tapped his knee. Unlike the Greenriver Empire, the crown prince was the core of Coldwood's political power.

'He killed all his brothers except those born of his mother.'

Contrary to his cold voice, he was cold and like a snake. The man was the biggest block to unify the three countries in his previous life, continuing his words.

"Dividing into three equal spaces? That's not fair. Each region has a different type and amount of resources, and the quality is different. Who wants to play a random number generator game here?"

Although the vast prairie was a prosperous region, there was a huge difference between its territories. Furthermore, given the resources hidden underground, the difference was greater. If they only considered the distance to their own country and divided this land into three parts evenly, one of them would have to regret it.

He's correct. All of these countries are 'big countries' that want to unite the continent someday. These three countries have survived by conquering many other small kingdoms. A small spark would easily bring the flames of war to this land.

"At least, my country does not want such a disaster for the time being. There is nothing bad about staying peaceful for a thousand years. So, if any of you have a good plan, please let me know. Let's divide without any problems, and go home satisfied."

After Hector Coldwood's manly speech, the meeting room remained silent.

"Master tower."

On the other hand, Ragnar's eyes came into contact with the ruler of the tower.

They will unleash their ultimate blow that will turn things around.

Ragnar didn't have a single chance until now.

Unexpected situations made him nervous.

'Ian Page, you son of a bitch....!'

That's obvious. He must have made this situation. The bastard had to persuade his idiot brother to talk like that. Otherwise, that idiot, how could he do this?

'I have to fix it from now on.'

The tower lord nodded.

Ragnar started to open his mouth.

To the people in the council.

"I humbly suggest you one ......"

Suddenly

"The perfect method!"

Unlike Ragnar in a cautious voice, someone shouted loudly and confidently. There was only one who could make such a confident voice that somewhat sounded like arrogant. He was born for it.

"I have a plan."

That's crown prince Hayden.

Thanks to that, Ragnar's speech was silenced.

"Then tell us everything you know, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The council referee, Engolo spoke in haste.

He has the authority to do so, though,

At least in this council.

"Our empire is an ivory tower, to be exact, in the magic tower, we found a new magic. This is a huge detection magic that allows us to detect hidden resources underground, and also allows us to estimate the number.

According to him, the reaction of everyone in the council is different. Most celebrities in other countries doubted such magic, but Ragnar and the tower lord were unable to set their faces.

'H, how...?'

They both thought the same thing. 'The 'Resource Detect Spell' was their wild card. To this day the tower lord created it himself, and naturally he had never introduced it to the ivory tower before.

"Certainly that?"

The embassy of another country asked for his whereabouts.

The burning crown prince said as he pointed at Ian.

"of course. I'm sure you've all heard of him at once. The youngest arch mage in the history of our Empire, Ian Page has created his own."

With his words, the tower master shook his hand.

He felt his spell was stolen.

However, that can't be happening. He can work miracles with a simple imagination, right? If he wants to make it, he can. But that problem.

'Did he also know that a resource-detection spell would be required for this meeting?'

He doesn't believe that. He thought Ian was an innocent boy who was only interested in magic. He did not expect this youngster to see through the key points of this meeting.

"Wow....."

Many people are confused. It was the key that would solve the problem of that meeting. Furthermore, it was a unique technology that only the Greenriver Kingdom possessed. They have to admit it.

"By using magic, we'll create a kind of 'resource map'. Of course we also have to check the quality of the soil as well. And after that, according to the map, we can divide it into sections."

The crown prince is on fire.

He now heads the entire board.

"And we will divide those parts fairly into three countries. Given the quality of the land itself, and the resources under it. The boundary line may be confusing, but we might spend more than 10 years just focusing on its development and mining, right?"

"Hmmm....."

Positive reaction out of the board.

Except for the tower lord and Ragnar, the people nodded.

"I'm sure there's no better plan."

As long as the resource detection spell existed, there was no other better option. Basically, they wanted the hidden resources of the territory, rather than the land itself. And such ultimate magic was exclusive in the Greenriver Empire.

"I think you all agree with this."

Immediately, the crown prince dealt a final blow to this meeting, he said,

The final blow that his Empire had was the authority for this meeting.

"That's it."

The main hero of the council today is clear, one man.

Crown Prince Greenriver, who has countless famous titles, such as;
