Chapter 145
"My sister has been quite busy recently. She said she would start to formally gather those who have been supporting us."
"Hmm? Did you have supporters before?"
"Yes, although my sister has not appeared in public for ten years, she has been quietly building up her power in private."
Although Aarons did not react for a while, he quickly understood what the third prince meant when he thought of the battleship.
——If there were no resources and connections, then Keliya would not be able to get advanced weapons like the Prison Flower.
"But most of the people who support my sister are businessmen and ministers, so my sister is just rich... The nobles with fiefs basically went to support the two royal brothers."
"Just rich... that's all?"
Stop talking! Can a rich woman be supported... Oh no, she is my wife, so it's okay.
However, this incident also made Aarons understand the current situation-the ministers are actually just public officials. It is difficult for them to form their own power without fiefs, so choosing the object of support has become an important matter.
Because most of the ministers were appointed by the emperor himself, they were basically loyal to the emperor who had given them a chance. The two princes had long been agents of the nobles, so they were naturally not within their support range.
In this way, a princess who was favored by the emperor and not involved in the nobles became the most suitable support object for these people.
"No wonder the fat old man treated me so well."
"Lord Zexiu is the one who paid the most money... It is said that his son's family was killed when they went out more than ten years ago, so he treated my sister and me as his own children."
"I will bring some gifts next time I see him."
The third prince had unexpectedly many cards in his hand, so Aarons didn't know how to make a move.
If there is no problem with connections and funds, then what should be pursued now is the power that is enough to subvert the order.
"Master, Your Highness, Teacher Jiangyue invites you to the backyard."
Just when Aarons was about to discuss with Luo Lan again, Karin suddenly walked into the room and conveyed the invitation of the sage to them.
...
"Uh, what's going on?"
When Aarons and Loran followed Karin to the backyard, he found Xia Ye and Zhu Ying were also here.
——Although it's not uncommon for Zhu Ying to come here for technical exchanges, Xia Ye rarely comes here.
"I don't know much either, Miss Xia Ye, do you know?"
"I just came to see if the old woman's new clothes are suitable, I don't know anything else."
You made clothes for others despite your mockery... Are your interests more important than interpersonal relationships!
——Aarons didn't want to comment on the relationship between Xia Ye and Jiang Yue, so he just thought about it in his mind.
"Oh, the clothes made by Miss Yang are quite comfortable to wear... The Marquis and His Highness are here too."
Just then, the door of the laboratory suddenly opened. And Jiang Yue, a female sage with neat purple short hair and a slightly mature look, walked out from inside.
However, her outfit today was a little special.
——The dark tight-fitting bodysuit designed for easy movement perfectly outlines the attractive curves of her waist and legs. And on the important parts of the body, she wears additional armor similar to light protective gear.
This style of dress does not look like a researcher at all, but more like a futuristic warrior with a sense of science fiction.
"What is this..."
"Master, this is a design I made after referring to some entertainment works in your memory of your previous life. Although this old woman is very annoying, I must say that she is really suitable for this style of clothing."
"You are too interested... Wait, what are those?"
Although the new clothes are really good-looking, Aarons immediately noticed another detail.
——At this time, Jiangyue was carrying a short-barreled rifle with a futuristic and sci-fi appearance on her waist, and a long-handled weapon like a sword and spear on her back.
...Is this style of painting not right?
"Marquis, are you interested in these things? These are the magic weapons I made for myself before, which are completely useless."
"Those things that can't be used without magic power?"
"Yes, but today I plan to show you the power of these weapons."
Aarons didn't understand what Jiang Yue was talking about for a while.
Because everyone knows that when he reached level 6 hundreds of years ago, this great sage lost the ability to cast magic.
For a magician, nothing is more painful than not being able to use magic anymore... AlthoughAlthough Jiangyue has been looking for alternatives over the years, there has been no progress.
"Ms. Spider, please take the shield and stand there."
"Agreed. I will be the target."
"Wait a minute, Teacher Jiangyue, are you planning to..."
Before Aarons could express his doubts, the purple-haired sage took off the magic rifle from his waist and aimed at the spider Ying holding a huge shield in the distance with a serious face.
Then, an amazing scene happened-
"... Start."
A large number of dark red particles suddenly escaped from Jiangyue's arm holding the gun, and then a clear wave of magic power came from her body.
And in a flash, all the magic power gathered in the magic gun in her hand.
"- Double combination, [Lightning]."
The purple lightning and the clear light merged with each other, turning into electric light that seemed to be able to penetrate and burn everything.
When the light shot out from the muzzle of the rifle and instantly hit the shield in the distance, everyone heard the earth-shaking thunder.
"...I haven't felt this feeling for a long time."
After firing an unpredictable magic with the weapon in his hand, the sage showed an intoxicated smile on his face.
——However, the others present were stunned by this unexpected scene.
"Magic, magic?"
"Teacher Jiangyue, can you... use magic?!"
Although everyone was a little surprised, compared to Aarons who didn't know much about magic, the third prince Luolan, who was an orthodox magician, was even more surprised.
Since he was a child, he has been learning magic with this sage who has lost her magic power, so he naturally knows what her most desired wish is.
"Yes, Your Highness. Thanks to the Marquis's reminder, I was able to regain this power."
"...Brother-in-law?"
"No, does this have anything to do with me?"
Aarons had no idea what he had done - but Jiang Yue's eyes were full of gratitude, and there seemed to be some other emotions.
"Wait a moment before I explain, Marquis. I still have to show you other weapons now."
