Episode 229. Ancient Relic Warehouse
The Magic Association is an organization that has existed for a very long time, and from its inception to the present, it has been responsible for accrediting numerous magics and protecting the rights of those who created them.
However, as numerous magic towers appeared, it gradually lost its authority, and eventually its reputation became meaningless.
In such a situation, the Felix family, one of the twelve families, stepped forward to support the Magic Association.
Thanks to the support of the Felix family, the association was able to regain its former authority. Furthermore, it was able to firmly restore the value and trust in magic registration that had faded.
The Association was fully revived, and the Felix family, who played a pivotal role in the Association’s revival, became a powerful influence within the Magic Association.
“Well, our Felix family has supported the Magic Association for a long time. Because of that, we have received various privileges from the Association.”
At the moment, several people in the association were connected to Felix. Even the previous association president was openly accepting the Felix family’s requests.
“The same goes for the replacement of the association president. I was really surprised when I heard the story… … .”
Unlike before, the Felix family’s lions displayed a very cautious attitude.
It was quite a bewildering development for the lions. It was not a situation in which they should have taken such an attitude.
Ethan glanced at Yeerika as he listened to the lions’ story, and she nodded. She trusted Ethan to take care of it, and decided to leave it to him.
“The name?”
“Alba is Merd, Ethan.”
Ethan’s widespread fame and the golden plaque Hansen gave him definitely had an effect.
‘I don’t think you know that I saved Felix’s successors.’
“Alba, let’s talk about common sense. You know all about the absurd things the association has been doing since Felix sponsored it.”
“If you say it’s something out of the ordinary… … .”
“It’s corruption.”
As Ethan spoke bluntly, cold sweat ran down Albado’s forehead. Ethan, who had Hansen’s golden badge, could literally be seen as an honored guest of the Felix family.
Of course, I could have put the Golden Badge aside and been strong on this one occasion.
No matter how precious a guest Ethan is, he cannot stand above the family’s will.
This matter was ordered directly by a high-ranking member of the family, so it would be sufficient to appeal to his authority.
But even though I had the answer, I couldn’t move right away.
Because Ethan was an opponent he couldn’t deal with lightly.
It wasn’t just about having the gold medal.
Hansen said that Ethan would one day become a great figure who would command the continent, so the Felix family should maintain a good relationship with Ethan.
Even these words came out of the meeting led by Lord Felix, and Alvado, who was present, remembered them clearly.
Hansen’s voice within the Felix family was quite powerful.
Because Hansen had made such a strong appeal, all the officials working in the Felix family were aware of Ethan Wickers.
In addition, there was something I had reported just before coming here.
For some unknown reason, Duke Felix was said to have been very violent, and from then on, he gave orders to immediately and politely bring Ethan Wickers to him.
“That’s not corruption… … .”
“A legitimate request, I guess. I know. But… … is that really a request?”
At Ethan’s words, Albado quickly wiped the sweat dripping down his sleeve.
Ethan completely dominated the atmosphere of this space.
“I’m not trying to judge right from wrong.”
As Ethan leaned back in his chair and spoke, Albado, who had been unconsciously holding his breath, took a short, deep breath.
“The previous president committed corruption and the management of the association was not very good. The new president here has taken care of all that. So, wouldn’t it be natural for Felix to give him an award as a thank you?”
Albado was speechless at Ethan’s words.
There is a procedure in work. Any work should be resolved according to the procedure.
Yeerika’s actions were a violation of procedure and a challenge to the Felix family, which supported the Association.
But I couldn’t say anything in response to Ethan’s words.
The aura emanating from Ethan and the enormous mana emanating from the new association leader, Yerika, who was silently looking this way, continued to pressure him.
“Ugh.”
It was so hard to breathe. I wonder how strong they are.
Albado was a 7th Circle wizard. It was said that he had the skills to handle this Magic Association matter alone.
Still, I felt like I was being crushed flat in front of the two people.
“Jerika.”
“Yes, it was a bit too much. Sorry, Felix’s lions.”
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
The two men who followed Albado were also breathing heavily.
“I, I don’t know about your superiors, but I will make sure to relay this matter to my superiors as soon as I hear about it.”
The situation was immediately turning against the lions.
If the situation could not be turned around, it was best to take a step back.
“Then I guess we should go together.”
“……yes?”
In that moment, Albado’s expression hardened.
“I have business with the Felix family anyway. Let’s go back together, my lords.”
* * *
It was a very uncomfortable journey.
Albado and the two lions were so busy keeping an eye on Ethan the whole time they were moving.
Ethan didn’t say anything. He didn’t even tell me why he was going to the Felix family.
I just said I had something to do.
As a guest with a golden card, I could visit Felix’s territory as much as I wanted.
“Excuse me, Ethan, may I ask why you are going to Felix Estate? If it is because of this association matter, we will make sure to take care of it. We also knew that the former association president was crossing the line. However, because of our relationship from before… … .”
“Don’t worry. I’m not trying to take credit for that.”
In fact, Felix’s lions were not at fault for this incident.
Also, the Felix family was not included among the three families of the twelve constellations that were the targets of Yeorika’s revenge.
After saying that, Ethan didn’t open his mouth any further.
‘Time is limited. Things at Felix’s estate are handled quickly.’
Yeriqa was left behind to finish up the association’s work and prepare for her inauguration as president.
Before becoming the president of the Magic Association, Yeerika was Ethan’s bodyguard. Since she often had to leave the association depending on the situation, she had to select a proxy with solid skills and credibility after taking office.
Yeerika has already captured all the wizards of the Magic Association. Ethan doesn’t need to teach her the ability to see people anymore.
No longer needing to worry about Yeerika’s business, Ethan headed to Felix’s estate with the lions in a light heart.
The Felix Estate was a much larger land than the Prochesht I had previously visited.
The size of the territory was incomparable to that of the Wickus Estate, and the walls surrounding the territory rose high into the sky.
When we arrived at the entrance that seemed to literally embody the word grandeur, the two lions, except for Albado, ran quickly first.
“I will contact you right away to let you know that Ethan has visited.”
Not long after the two lions ran away, the gate of the manor opened.
Kuguguguguguung-!
Bam-bam-bam-.
Beyond the gate, Felix’s knights were waiting, lined up on either side. They raised their swords and saluted Ethan as soon as the trumpets sounded.
‘… … This is too grand?’
Ethan walked between them naturally.
At the end of the road were Kai Felix and Rohai Felix. Rohai looked happy, as if his health had recovered.
“Welcome, Mr. Ethan!”
Kai Felix stepped forward and extended his hand to Ethan.
“Isn’t this too welcoming?”
“You are the most important guest of our estate, and this is not enough. My father will be here soon. He was very grateful to hear about this matter. And… … I also spoke to him separately. Of course, it has not been resolved yet.”
Contrary to what he said, Kai’s expression seemed bright.
Duke Felix has been forcing traditions on Kai. Things won’t be easy.
But seeing that Rohai Felix came out with them, it seemed like the story between the two was already over.
Above all, since Kai has thought for himself and taken a step forward, the next step will be the one he wants to take.
“I was so out of it that I couldn’t even thank you. This is Rohai Felix, Ethan Wickers.”
“This is Ethan Wickes.”
Rohai Felix greeted me with a smile.
“Thank you very much, Ethan. I heard the whole story from Kai. If it weren’t for Ethan, my brother would have been killed by the Moon Followers without a fight.”
“Originally, we were going to step forward and invite Mr. Ethan, but… … .”
It was natural for Kai to be curious, since Ethan had come before he had even been invited.
“I said this because I thought there would be many things to talk about.”
Ethan took the golden medal out of his bosom and handed it to Lohai.
“I received this from Master Hansen, and I think we need to discuss this separately with the Magic Association.”
“Well! You have some business with our family! Whatever it is, we will take care of it all. Is there anything we can’t do for the person who saved our lives?”
Lohai said with a haha.
“Okay, let’s go, Ethan.”
Meanwhile, Albado, who was behind, reviewed his steps to see if he had made any mistakes.
Seeing Felix’s two successors warmly welcoming Ethan, it seemed impossible to overlook any mistakes they may have made.
Fortunately, there was nothing that could cause problems. Albado could barely breathe a sigh of relief at that fact.
Then, as soon as he saw Ethan, he inwardly praised himself for making an accurate assessment of the situation.
* * *
“Ethan Wickers, as a father of two sons, I am truly grateful for this. Without you, truly… … things would have happened that I could not have imagined.
Duke Felix was a large man, with black hair interspersed with white, and a bushy gray beard growing beneath it.
“Thank you, thank you very much.”
Duke Felix bowed his head and expressed his gratitude. Lohai and Kai were greatly surprised by this sight. They had never seen the Duke bow his head before.
“I will definitely deal with those Moon Followers. I will completely wipe them out.”
Duke Felix’s eyes flashed. As the saying goes, his eyes alone could kill a person.
“I, Streder Felix, will not express my gratitude in words alone. I will definitely compensate you for this. What do you want?”
Duke Sterder Felix saw Ethan. He had heard about him through Hansen some time ago.
A man who revived a Prochesuit full of death.
Hansen, his blood reddening, emphasized that he must maintain a good relationship with the man.
Duke Felix also took note of it, as Hansen had rarely spoken in such a strong tone.
But who would have thought that Ethan Wickers would put his two sons in danger and save them?
Of course, Ethan Wickers, who I saw in person, didn’t look as great as Hansen said.
Rather, it gave the impression of being weak.
But contrary to her appearance, she had a strong presence. Duke Felix took note of that.
He has met and fought countless strong men.
Among them, some of the more notable powerhouses had a presence like Ethan Wickers.
The three gods that exist above the heads of the twelve constellations.
The Emperor of the Holy Empire, the Emperor of the Magic Empire, and the Lord of the Sword Tower.
Sterder had met them all and remembered their extraordinary presence.
And among them, I remembered the one who looked the most similar.
‘It’s similar to the Sword Tower.’
As my thoughts reached that point, I suddenly became interested. I wondered what kind of compensation he, who had a presence reminiscent of the Sword Tower Master, would want.
I can listen to most things.
Since you saved Kai and Lohai’s lives, I was willing to grant you anything you asked for, even if it was a little too much.
“I heard that the Felix family has a vault where they store their treasures.”
“Hmm! Good choice. Yes, our family has many treasures. I will open the treasure vault. Take whatever you want!”
Ethan shook his head.
“It’s not just a treasure trove. Open the treasure trove of ancient relics.”
