?Greenwood Kingdom.

"Hahaha. Did you hear that?" The king of the Greenwood Kingdom laughed out loud while looking at Raincart standing before him.

All ministers had gathered to hear the joyous news because of the impossible feat.

"75,000 demons, 22 Superior Demons, and 4 Devil Saints, huh?" Raincart thought for a moment. "As expected of my grandson."

"But is that even possible? I mean, the north wall is the only one standing. I believe the princess has informed us of the weird shape of the wall…" A minister asked in doubt. If there were only ten Superior Demons, he believed it was possible. But the number of Superior Demons simply surpassed anyone's imagination.

"That's true. And the majority of the Superior Demons died, right?"

The ministers were filled with doubt, but the minister who read the message earlier added, "According to the princess, the runes played a huge part in this battle. It was said that a Spirit Master was actually able to defeat a Superior Demon amidst the demon rank."

"What? A Spirit Master? Are you kidding?" The ministers gasped in shock.

"A Spirit Grandmaster is the requirement to fight the Superior Demon and you need a lot of experience if you want to defeat a Superior Demon. Only a Peak Spirit Grandmaster can defeat a Superior Demon pretty easily, but you are saying that a Spirit Master has defeated a Superior Demon?"

The minister nodded. "The letter stated that this person is called Felicia, one of Earl Ardagan's direct vassals. She proclaimed herself to be the first Rune Magician. After learning from Earl Ardagan about the runes, the princess believed that it was possible to have that power.

"The runes could close the gap between a Spirit Master and the Superior Demon. However, there is one fatal weakness in this strategy. The Spirit Master has to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible. After all, even if the firepower gap can be ignored by runes, the spiritual energy they possess is different."

The ministers sucked a cold breath. If that were truly possible, the Rune Magician would become the most popular profession.

The king asked, "What do you think, Raincart?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝓫𝒏𝙤𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

Raincart said, "The fact that there is only one Rune Magician means that the concept itself is still in the creation process. However, I wonder, what will happen when that concept matures?"

"Don't tease me, just tell us about your opinion." The king chuckled.

"What if we can train a batch of Rune Magicians? Even if the Superior Demon has prepared for this, they will still lose if we send a few Rune Magicians at Spirit Master level, right? A single grandmaster is worth more than twenty or even thirty Spirit Masters, and if you think about it, the future potential is actually limitless," Raincart explained.

"That's right. If we can send twenty Rune Magicians, they can deal with at least four Superior Demons. This is much better than sending a single grandmaster. And what if we apply that idea to grandmasters? Can they somehow deal with an Ancient Demon?" Another minister understood the idea.

The atmosphere turned grim when they realized the potential of the runes.

The king looked at Raincart, asking, "Has he thought this far, Raincart?"

"I'm afraid so." Raincart nodded with a serious expression. "If he shows off the power of runes like this, it's impossible for people not to become greedy. To satisfy their greed while maintaining his sovereignty over runes, he creates the Rune Academy.

"When you think about it, Rune Magician is not the only path. The letter states that a lot of demons died from the rune technologies. That's probably the reason why he divides the group into two: technology and magicians.

"The rune technology will advance the military and all kinds of household technologies, while the magicians will become a new source of squad that can wreak havoc on the battlefield.

"I believe that we should send our talented people there. And it doesn't seem that they are forbidding them from writing a letter home. In other words, the people from there can tell us everything they learn from the Rune Academy. And because these people are going to meet people from other countries, they have to be well-educated both in runes and politics."

The ministers whispered to each other until one of them said, "I believe Sir Raincart's opinion is worth considering."

"The princess is supposed to be the principal of the Rune Academy, so we have to be careful when selecting people. If we end up causing trouble, there is a chance that the princess will lose Earl Ardagan's favor."

"Yes. We have to prepare them now to ensure that they are fit to be sent to learn the runes."

The king thought for a moment and said, "Prepare a plan for the selection and we will review it in the future hearing."

"Understood." The ministers acknowledged the order.

"If the rune technology can transform the lands, there will be a lot of controversy following it, Your Majesty." Another minister spoke up.

"The old and fundamentalist Spirit Magician, huh? Ignore them for now. The Spirit Enchantment itself came from runes, so the concept of runes had been known since a thousand years ago. I believed that his ancestor was aware of the runes but never revealed them. Instead, he created Spirit Enchantment. If those fellows couldn't adapt to the present, then we wouldn't force them."

"Understood."

The king looked at Raincart, asking, "Do you have anything to add, Raincart?"

Raincart fell silent for a moment. "I've spoken as his grandfather. Now, I'm going to speak as a subject of the Greenwood Kingdom."

When Raincart started his speech with those words, everyone couldn't help but stop talking. The atmosphere turned solemn.

"Lounstein is located next to two borders. The first will be our border. Due to their existence, the Muivell Kingdom will definitely add soldiers around this border to prevent our cooperation with him.

"Hence, I am suggesting that we expand Damian's camp, which is outside the second border, the demon border, in order to create a neutral zone."

"Haven't we done that already?" The king frowned. It was the reason they stationed Damian over there.

Raincart shook his head. "I'm talking about reclaiming that territory from the demons, Your Majesty. This way, that area will be secured. However, we are not going to claim that area as our land so as to not trouble him. Instead, we will use that area for a lot of possibilities, such as future development, cooperation, or even training the first batch of Rune Magicians. At the very least, I believe the princess will go all the way there to do it."

The ministers agreed with this idea. When they thought about it, Spirit Magicians had been their specialty the whole time. So, they had to adapt and introduce the Rune Magicians.

Raincart thought that the Zaecuria Kingdom sent their Duke Briton because this was not possible, so they tried to squeeze as much benefit as possible and introduced the Rune Technology.

In that case, they had to monopolize the Rune Magician, which was the second category he talked about earlier.

The king looked at his ministers. "What do you all think?"

"I believe it's reasonable. If we can create a buffer zone, the Muivell Kingdom will not interfere."

"Indeed. Due to the special law of the Muivell Kingdom, they won't be able to stop Earl Ardagan from leaving through the Demon Border."

"This is the only way to stop the Zaecuria Kingdom from getting ahead."

In the middle of their discussion, the door was slammed open.

*Bang!*

"Emergency!" A soldier suddenly rushed in, carrying a letter.

All the ministers turned around and couldn't help but furrow In the middle of their discussion, the door was slammed open.

*Bang!*

their eyebrows the moment they caught a glimpse of the seal.

"Huh? Blue Royal Seal?"

"Blue? Not green? The usual royal seal is green, but the blue royal seal is a matter that can change the fate of our country. Whose letter is it?"

The people panicked as they whispered to each other, wondering the content of that letter.

"Bring it to me." The king hurriedly shouted. He didn't even bother for the minister to read it as he, as the king, had to look at it personally.

As soon as he read the letter, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Hahahahahahah!"

This laugh confused everyone. This was a matter of importance, yet their king actually laughed it off.

However, their curiosity was soon answered when the king handed the letter to the minister next to him and told him to read it out loud.

"The letter comes from Her Highness Livia. Due to the long standing relationship between the Ardagan family and the Greenwood Kingdom's royal family that traces back to our ancestry, Earl Ardagan is proposing to work with the Greenwood Kingdom in the development of an Airship!"

"An airship?"

"What's that?"

"Is it a ship?"

They were confused, so the minister continued, "Just like the Zaecuria Kingdom's battleship, Earl Ardagan is planning to develop a battleship that will fly in the air."

"A battleship that flies in the air?"

"Something like that…"

They sucked a cold breath. Everyone knew about the battleship that the Zaecuria Kingdom possessed. It was magnificent and had a lot of destructive power.

However, it could only be used in the water. It would be useless on land. Hence, this made the airship even more valuable.

This was also another reason why Noel proposed this agreement. The deal with the Zaecuria Kingdom would definitely transform their battleship even further. To make sure that the Greenwood Kingdom, the one who had been helping him this far, didn't get jealous, Noel proposed this agreement.

And obviously, the Greenwood Kingdom was the most advanced country among all of them. So, if they developed it together, they could get some results very fast.

Noel would also get a more favorable view from the Greenwood Kingdom.

This was why the king actually laughed.

"I've thought that I've increased my evaluation high enough, but it seems that I still underestimate your grandson, Raincart." The king looked at Raincart, who was actually sweating. Even he didn't expect this from his grandson.

"Your Majesty, what shall we do?" The minister asked.

The king stepped forth with a solemn expression. "Warn the Atraceaca Kingdom that if they dare to harm Noel Ardagan and his territory, our Greenwood Kingdom is ready to go to war. As for the development of the airship, we will accept it. Send an envoy to convey our words and prepare a lot of gifts. Do all my ministers have any objections?"

"Your Majesty is wise." All of them bowed down in agreement.

There was one minister who couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. "Your Majesty. What should we do with the Muivell Kingdom's royal family?" fr eewebn ovel.com

"I don't think we should worry about them. I'm pretty sure that there are already people messing up with them in the royal hearing." The king smirked.
