Such a terrifying scene naturally chilled the onlookers to the bone, and the nobles and officials all remained silent in fear.
This "exile" doesn't seem to be a "kind act" at all; this operation might be even more terrifying than direct execution!
With these people having this idea, Moen and Mistgang's goal was achieved.
This kind of deterrent effect may be more effective than death; sometimes, the feeling of being worse off than death is indeed more terrifying than death itself.
Moen's image is also a plus at this time. Although he is handsome and not the gloomy type, he is a notorious butcher in the world of "Edras".
Moen Dorreah, the "butcher of another world" who killed the "butcher of this world," naturally appears even more terrifying.
Moen's actions immediately silenced them all, and their previously restless hearts gradually calmed down.
It seems that with the new king's ascension to the throne, they have little room for maneuver and must instead carefully serve this young ruler.
The coronation ceremony ended perfectly amidst hymns of praise. Everyone was satisfied, and no one dared to voice their dissatisfaction.
As king, Mystogan has established his authority and successfully taken over his father's team.
It must be said that the people chosen by King Faust were quite useful, especially the incredibly brave Erza Knightworth.
Erza Knightworth regained her freedom and official position for her role in quelling the "Loyalist Rebellion".
This former captain of the magic warfare unit is still highly valued by Mystergan and is still regarded as an important representative of the kingdom's military power.
She is far more capable than her two former colleagues, Hughes and Schugboi, who are now in very different circumstances.
Hugh Boy had done nothing wrong and was able to regain a minor official position, though for now he could only serve as Erza Netvoka's assistant.
There was no way around it; on the real battlefield, Erza Knightworth demonstrated her true abilities, proving that her status wasn't solely based on magical artifacts.
Hugh Boy's performance was barely acceptable; his skills were mediocre, but at least he didn't make any major mistakes.
As for Hughes, he completely lost face and reputation. He was sent to lead a team to wipe out the remaining rebel forces in the south, but he almost suffered a disastrous defeat and was wiped out by those defeated soldiers. He truly brought shame to the "Kingdom Army".
Unfortunately, although Hugh Boy also relies heavily on his magical artifact "Rose Sword," he at least has considerable practical experience in leading troops.
Hughes, however, was limited by his magical artifacts and could only stay in the palace's amusement park; he had very little experience even in leading troops into battle.
Mystergan assigned him to lead troops to suppress the remnants of the defeated army, and even specially arranged a group of officers from the magic war force to assist him. However, this almost backfired, directly ruining his career. It was a relief that he wasn't directly court-martialed.
All I can say is that the fact that Hughes can continue to live in the capital, even if he is unemployed and lives as a wealthy man, is already a way of thanking him for stepping up to help when he was short of soldiers and generals in Mistgang.
If Mistergan had been any more ruthless, Hughes would have been sentenced. Forget about the saying "killing the donkey after it has served its purpose"—this donkey hadn't even been on the millstone; it almost knocked it over. Not killing it for meat was purely out of the master's kindness.
Hughes's ability to win such a war and still die a natural death has become a symbol, a symbol for those loyal to Mistgang—this is the treatment of a loyal subject!
Especially when compared with the "rebels'" "exile ceremony," the difference becomes immediately apparent. This is the signal that Mystogan is sending: as long as you are loyal enough, even if you are not very capable, the country will not miss your food.
But if you're disloyal, sorry, you'll have to go eat in the world of "Aislandon." Whether you eat or get eaten is entirely up to you.
As the new king, it's understandable that Mistgangs would do this. He first needs to gather a group of people around him, then select the best among them to entrust them with important tasks, train them, and finally form his own core team.
Otherwise, even the most capable person will become more troublesome if they cannot fulfill the will of Mystogan, because Mystogan's path is different and his interests are not aligned with those of the traditional nobles.
"If the paths are different, the more knowledge one has, the more reactionary one becomes." This statement applies to a feudal kingdom like the Kingdom of Edolas, and it also applies to a new king like Mystogan who wants to develop technology to benefit the people of the whole country.
Moen did not interfere with Mistergang's personnel decisions because he respected Mistergang and appreciated his sincere intentions.
Therefore, although Moen believed that Erza Knightworth, Hughes, and others who had previously hunted down so many mages deserved to die, he did not object to Mystogan using them.
Moen knew he couldn't always back up Mystogan in the Edolas world, so it was good to have some stubborn people like Erza Knightworth around.
Erza Knightworth is a woman of exceptional talent.
Unable to use magic or manipulate magical power, she managed to train her physical strength to be almost as good as Erza's. With the addition of the "Dryness Gun," she could even rival Morn Darkning, who indirectly gained a slight advantage due to Morn's existence. This was enough to prove her talent.
Erza Knightworth's personality is even more unique.
She was a staunch royalist and a staunch supporter of magic, firmly believing that once the world of Edolas lost its magic, everything would collapse and the world would descend into chaos.
Therefore, she was terrified of losing her magic, and even fell into a state of confusion after her magic disappeared, fearing that the world would be destroyed.
But now, it has been proven that the disappearance of magic and spells will not affect the world, and her obsession has also disappeared.
Now, she has embraced a completely new ideology, the ideology of Mystergan.
They shouldn't pursue magic that no longer exists in the world of "Edras," but rather pursue the technological path that belongs to the world of "Edras"—a path that can truly benefit the people.
The current Erza Knightworth is just as dedicated to preserving magic as she was before; she is now the most loyal advocate of preserving technology.
She was so loyal that even if Mystergan abandoned her, she might not give up on him.
Unless she truly foresees a moment when technological advancements fail to benefit the people—but that possibility is unlikely—the Kingdom of Edolas is unlikely to suddenly enter the cyberpunk era.
"Now that things have been settled on your end, I'll head back."
In the royal palace, Moen bid farewell to Mistgang. He hadn't actually been staying in the "Edras" world all the time. He could come and go as he pleased, and even go back to sleep at night. Moen, with his [alternate dimension], was just that capricious.
"Okay, thank you for your help these past few days."
Mister Gang did not try to stop him, but instead thanked Moen sincerely.
"We're all family, no need to be so polite."
Moen waved his hand, indicating that Mistergang didn't need to say these things.
"By the way, do you want to come back with me? The old man has some important news to announce and has summoned almost all the members. I think as an S-rank mage of the guild, you should also be there."
After waving goodbye, Moen suddenly remembered this matter and casually extended an invitation. He still considered Mystergang a member of the guild, so he naturally couldn't leave him out.
"Is it something important?"
Moen's seriousness surprised Mistergang, who asked earnestly.
"Of course, it concerns the appointment of the next president."
Moen blinked and revealed Makarov's plan.
"The appointment of the next president? It'll definitely be you, right?"
Mystergan didn't hesitate to speak up about this candidate.
In Mystogan's mind, the next guild master can only be Moen without a doubt. He would definitely not be satisfied with anyone else being the guild master, not even Gildarts could convince him.
I guess so.
Moen answered with a smile, without keeping anyone in suspense. This was something that had already been agreed upon. If the old man suddenly changed the choice at the last minute, then he would be the one to make a fuss. He had been promoting him for so long, how could he suddenly be replaced by someone else?
"Then I definitely have to go."
Without hesitation, Mister Gang made a decision immediately. Since it was time to announce Moen as the successor to the chairman, he would definitely be there to support his good brother.
Of course, if the candidate is not Moen, then he must be there even more. He needs to ask the old man of the association what he thinks and who is more qualified than Moen to be the next president.
"Then let's go together."
Moen tilted his head, signaling Mistergang to hurry up and follow.
"Wait a moment, let me do a handover."
Mr. Gang couldn't just leave so easily. Now was a busy time, and even if he had to disappear for a while, he had to make arrangements first so that people wouldn't be unable to find him.
Mystergan summoned his "personal assistant" Coco and told her to cover for him for a while, and to say that he was resting if anyone came looking for him. Then he returned to "Aislandon" with Moen.
Wearing the solemn Gemini Gold Cloth, Moen, along with Mystogan, emerged from the [other dimension].
Emerging from the crack.
The two went straight to the backyard of the Fairy Tail guild, where a lot of people had already gathered. It was still early before the time set by Master Makarov, but everyone had arrived at the guild early to wait.
Upon seeing Moen and Mystergang appear, everyone immediately gathered around, mainly because Mystergang was there.
Since the "Great Expedition to Edolas," although Mystogan himself has not returned, everyone knows most about his affairs and the affairs of the "Edolas" world.
There's no way around it; the guild members who personally participated in the "Great Expedition" can't control their mouths. They don't miss any opportunity to brag, especially those who participated in the battle against "Droma Arnim." These days, they can't stop boasting.
Mystogan, who succeeded as king and ruled the "Kingdom of Edolas," and even performed the feat of directly dispelling the magic of an entire world, shocked many people. Now, everyone is very eager to chat with Mystogan, since this guy has always been very mysterious in the guild.
"Sigh~ It makes me seem superfluous."
Seeing how popular Mistergang was, Moen chuckled and shook his head.
"Then you should do it, I'm not used to it yet."
Faced with the crowd's enthusiasm, Mister Gang felt quite embarrassed and could only quickly pull Moen to help him out of the predicament.
In fact, Mystergan had just instinctively wanted to start hypnosis, but he immediately realized that he no longer used magic. His magic wand had become ineffective and he no longer carried it with him, so he naturally could no longer use hypnosis.
Regarding this, Moen suggested that he could be "charged" in "Aeslandon" so that he could still use it in the world of "Edras", but Mystergan refused this solution.
It was Mystogan who dispelled all the magic in the world of Edolas, allowing Edolas to embark on the path of technology and freeing people from thinking about magic.
But he himself is still using magic? That's a bit too much. At least in the world of "Edras," Mystogan will no longer use paralysis magic. He has to set an example.
Moen smiled and waved his hand, pushing Mistgang out again, telling him to go and get to know his enthusiastic guildmates first.
Moen wasn't going to help Mister Gang block people out. Right now, he needed to find some peace and quiet. After the old man announced the news, he would be the one surrounded by everyone.
Mystgan had no choice but to patiently answer everyone's questions. Fortunately, everyone was very tactful and asked questions that were not difficult to answer. And before long, Mr. Makarov arrived at the scene.
The old man's arrival naturally relieved some of the pressure on Mr. Gang. Many people crowded around to ask him what he was going to say. Even though it was something that was about to be announced, they still wanted to ask. They wouldn't be satisfied if they didn't ask.
Old Master Makarov, of course, kept his mouth shut, drinking continuously from a bottle of wine, and wouldn't say a word no matter who asked him.
Makarov didn't put down his bottle of wine until the agreed time arrived and his guildmates gathered around.
By this time, a large group of people had gathered by the lake in the backyard, and everyone in the guild had set aside time for this day.
After all, Chairman Makarov solemnly declared that a major announcement was to be made that day, so naturally no one dared to disregard it.
Makarov's gaze swept over his guildmates present, finally settling on several "S-rank mages".
