Chapter 58: It's the Latest Magic Weapon, You Know
===A Certain Empire’s Mad Scientist===
「How are the preparations, Wizard Melvin?」
「If it's Your Excellency Prime Minister. Yeah, everything is perfect.」
The man replied with confidence to the answer of the prime minister of the left.
The man was an old man in his fifties, and despite his tall frame, he was quite thin.
His beard and hair were so long, giving an impression of a wise wizard; the splendid robes he wore on his body were already so old to the point that they couldn't be distinguished with rags after he wore them for so many years.
「Whether it's a kingdom or a dragon, they're just mere targets for this magic cannon. Hohohohoho.」
The thin elderly wizard who raised a strange laugh was a genius who catapulted the old empire to what was known today as the “Magic Empire” in a single generation.
Many of the magic tools the Empire kept to itself were created by this very man.
