Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ - Chapter 164

Chapter 164

Two days have passed since the day of the duel .

My physical condition has already recovered completely .

It seems that Ortem’s ability to disperse the disease has worked perfectly this time as well .

I was in my room in Lark’s mansion, writing this and that document with a quill pen .

The document was about the future plan .

I need to improve the Ortem gourd, and I need to rally the Alchemy Division to learn more about Ortem .

There is still a lot of work to be done .

No, in fact, this is where the real work begins .

And just a few minutes ago when I was passing by the office, I heard some good news .

“Lark-sama . About the topic of bio-magic that Abel-sama was proposing…… what will you do about it?”

“…… Since Euris took him out like that, if we’re indifferent, it will lead to a big loss of trust . Something, a compromise that the girl might be willing to accept…… Marias and Rinoa would know more about that point, so I’d rather like your opinion . ”

“Sorry Lark-sama, because I took the liberty to……”

“No, if we missed the other day, the forces of the Icarus faction would have risen again …… that point, there was no way around it . It should…… have been the best . ”

Probably Lark, Euris, Marias, and Rinoa were discussing the permit I was applying for .

If it looks like that, it shouldn’t be about nothing at all .

…… By the way, Icarus had a hole in his abdomen and was dying, but I somehow managed to save with my bio-magic .

But I wasn’t in good physical condition at the time, so I was really just trying to keep him alive for now .

Since Icarus had woken up, he seemed to have aged quickly and had become much calmer .

Maybe it’s because he was treated by me, and that’s what made it all worth it .

As soon as the interrogation regarding this matter is over and he is in full physical condition, he and the two sorcerers in his former entourage who requested to accompany him are scheduled to be permanently expelled from the Fage territory .

In the end, Icarus, in order to take advantage of the trust of Ringus, instigated one of his followers to pose as a victim and deceive Ringus, and in order to regain his position, he challenged me to a duel . Icarus knew that he was underpowered, so he settled on the fact that he was going to win by pushing his strengths into the game and further undermining my body with his magic …… .

There are rumors that Icarus had tried to assassinate me beforehand .

Seriously, Icarus is the worst .

At any rate, this has completely changed the minds of some of the people who believed in Icarus, and they seem to have a strong resentment towards him .

I feel like a lot of things have been heaped on them, but it’s not a disadvantage to me, so I’m leaving it at that .

Ringus is not unscathed and seems to have ended up with a major loss of credibility .

I’ve been told that Lark has assigned three trustworthy people to watch over Ringus, and if there is any unusual movement, he has ordered them to be restrained immediately .

If they are planning something, they can’t make a suspicious move .

But considering the scale of what Ringus has done so far, it will be interesting to see how far he can go when he makes a serious move .

I hope he’s willing to leave voluntarily .

“Abel, are you sure you’re okay already?”

Mea, who was beside me, calls out to me .

“Yeah, I’m all set . I’ve been delayed for two days, after all . From tomorrow, I have to start teaching the alchemy division . In order to do that, we need to get the requirements together today and mass-produce the training Ortem…… . Besides, there are some things I need to ask Rinoa-san to do . ”

“To Rinoa-san?”

“Yeah, I heard that the Noir people are short but strong and dexterous, and many of them are good at processing magic ores . I, you see, I’m not dexterous enough to make those things . ”

“Apart from Abel, a person who’s good at with hands…… Oh . ”

Something seems came to her mind, and Mea went silent .

…… To be frank, I’m not good enough for those things because I don’t have enough power .

That’s why I’ve been letting valuable ore rot in my hands until now .

That’s right, the mysterious floating ore that was used for the walls of the Zeshum ruins .

If we can use it, we should be able to make a sword that can fly around at super high speed .

“We still have a lot of work to do, but …… let’s just focus on the paperwork and theorizing today . ”

Suddenly, I looked out the window and saw a group of men in red, blue, and yellow miscellaneous made armor leaving the village .

The armor was made from Nalgarn scales .

Since that was the only material available, they must have tried to divide it up evenly among the colors for now .

It was necessary to make a number of them, so each one was quite coarse in its construction . The appearance of the armor is especially out of the question .

Maybe they’re hard enough to be excellent armor there, though .

I stood up from my chair and put my hand on the window .

“…… To be frank, that thing is soooo lame . ”

“…… It’s out in Mea’s terms . For now, it seems to be a makeshift armor, so it can’t be helped . Euris-san said they should be able to improve it once the trade is restored . ”

Fage territory is in the process of recovery right now .

You can’t blame them for not getting around to a lot of things .

…… especially when it comes to the appearance aspect .

“Speaking of trade, the lord said that he’s going to sell off the art that his grandfather collected in the basement and put it into recovery! They’ll sort it out tomorrow! Since we’re here, let’s go along and watch it! Maybe they’ll give Abel an item or two if you ask for it, no strings attached!”

“Hmmm, I’m not really into that sort of thing, though . ”

By the way, the cards I spread are already becoming popular in the territory .

This also seems to be playing a part in raising my impression in the territory .

The lord will support me as much as possible, and the impression I get from the residents is good .

It’s truly becoming my ideal fiefdom .

As I looked out the window, I saw a church under construction .

It is the church of the water god Levi .

The rest of the concerns are…… the suspicious missionary and someone else who was attacking the territory .

I’m thinking that they’re probably the same, though .

There is still support from the residents, and there is no hard evidence that they were attacking the territory .

We can’t make the first move poorly .

We still don’t have a clear objective, and we don’t know what they’re capable of .

They’re an unknown opponent in many ways .

“We need to pull ourselves together……”

I mutter, and Mea follows my gaze to find the church .

“…… Oh, isn’t the guy building it gone? Is he on a break?”

“Hm?”
