the volcanic field (2),
Lennok moved ahead.
‘This type of freezing magic isn’t bad either. Efficiency is slightly lower… … .’
The freezing magic of the common magic system that Lennok has been using is basically based on the premise that it is used in an environment with a water source.
Of course, since it consumes less magic power and can cover a wide range, Lennok has also used it by pouring water on it first and then forcibly creating a plate.
However, in other words, it means that it is difficult to use in a place where there is no moisture.
That’s why Lennok is an ice chain. It also stopped by the executive safe to find out how the magicians use the unique magic system that specialized in that attribute.
There, obtaining McQueen’s Liberation Taoism and Jugye Daoism was a separate harvest.
Lennok’s real purpose was the simultaneous training of flame-type and ice-type magic.
“hang on.”
After saying that while looking back at the party, he raised his mana again.
Ice chain creation magic.
[Wonyeongdong]
As soon as he took a light step, magic powers violently rotated inside Lennok’s body.
completion of the hierarchy. In Lennok’s magic system, which began to integrate into one order, the newly added knowledge turned into power.
Go and go… … !!!
In an environment where moisture did not exist at all, pieces of ice protruded like lies, covering the ground with a forest of cold air and
neutralizing the heat that increased as you headed up the mountain.
And then, realizing how Lennok was able to use this scale of freezing magic, the agents opened their mouths slightly.
“It’s not water, but the whole magical power was frozen and hardened…!!”
“Nonsense…. Unless mana is manipulated in particle units, like this… … !!”
Even if the materialization of magical power is natural as a wizard, replacing water with magical power is an art that cannot be attempted without perfectly copying the properties of water and ice.
This is impossible unless you are born with special traits or have an in-depth understanding of ice magic.
The agents quickly turned their heads toward Ibelin.
“I wondered why the outside advisor was called on this occasion….”
“The team leader knew that Ban-nim was so well versed in freezing magic!”
“huh? what… … . What does that mean?”
Leaving Evelyn’s shy voice behind, Lennok took the book out of his arms and held it up.
‘What do you do next… … ?’
If there is no water, just pick and choose which particles to use instead of water.
The necessary magic manipulation ability is already overflowing.
All that remains is to quickly learn how other ice-type unique magic users operate and apply the methods and ice fragments created.
That much would have been enough if there was only one book of knowledge.
“…Mmm.”
As Lennok flipped through the bookshelves with one hand, his fingers twitched, and the cold air radiated out in all directions in response, splitting to the sides and beginning to create a large path.
A piece of ice that is sharp and powerful enough to prevent the lava monsters who came out after noticing the abnormality from approaching hastily.
However, at some point, the icy road, which had been extending in line with Lennok’s gesture, was completely blocked, and at a certain point, it began to melt in an instant.
Only then did Evelyn, who had been leisurely following Lennok from behind, her eyes light up.
“This….”
She picked up a small pebble from nearby and tossed it at the break in the icy road.
Chii profit!!
As soon as it passes a certain point in the air, the pebble catches fire on the spot and disappears as if it were melting.
It is distinctly different from the natural phenomena we have encountered so far.
A barrier that burns all foreign matter that crosses over a certain area. It was the power of the Magic Tower.
Lennok looked at the stones burning up and disappearing in the air.
“It’s unrealistic that all the guests who visit the Mage’s Tower experience this kind of inconvenience.”
“…“
This situation itself will prove that the other side is uncomfortable with our visit.”
Lennok turned his head to Ibelin.
“how will we do it?”
Thinking hard, she hardened her expression and said.
“I put in a call that I had arrived right before I went up the volcanic zone. But the fact that this level of security is still maintained… … It must mean that we know how to break through this.”
“….”
“Can you do half?”
Instead of answering, Lennok put on a thoughtful expression and held out his hand.
The other agents’ complexions turned slightly pale at that defenseless hand gesture, but Lennok’s hand casually headed beyond the point where the icy road was cut off.
Roaring!!
In an instant, it caught fire and started to burn.
“…Mr. Van!!”
“wait for a sec.”
While protecting her hands with a shield, she slowly checked the flow of magical energy inside the barrier.
It aims to occupy a specific area, catch objects entering from the outside, and automatically cast an ignition spell from a distance to burn them.
Rather than being filled with indescribable heat inside the barrier, it was a technique close to detecting and intercepting enemies in a similar way to radar.
‘Surprisingly, the principle is quite simple. then….’
“how is it?”
“I was thinking of destroying the entire barrier if I had to, but…. You don’t even have to.”
Lennok withdrew his hand, grabbed his left sleeve and brushed it off lightly, and dozens of magazines came pouring out from the inside of his sleeve.
Countless ammunition that was stored and carried with lightening and shrinking magic.
bang!!
Lennok smashed the magazine’s case, grabbed the hundreds of bullets inside with his magician, and lifted them up into the air, then threw them over the barrier.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo!!!!
As soon as they entered the barrier, the bullets burned all at once.
Lennok immediately raised his mana and waved his hand.
Manipulation-type Creation Magic
[Magician Injection]
[Multiple Resonance: Divergence]
Perberbeobbeobung!!!
Hundreds of bullets under Lennok’s control exploded on the spot, releasing intense magic power.
Beyond the barrier, bright blue flashes flash in succession and explode with time lag.
Unexpected fireworks unfolded in the sky full of ash and dust.
It was only then that Lennok withdrew his hand and casually moved across the broken road.
“egg plant.”
“…Are you done?”
“It just temporarily confused the way to search for barriers. If it’s a security barrier that detects and intercepts the enemy, it will prevent follow-up hits by interfering with the search itself.”
Only then did the other agents understand Lennok’s words and let out exclamations.
“You mean they are interfering with the detection of the barrier itself by spraying flares. I never thought I could do this on the fly without any equipment… … .”
“No, this would be impossible without fully interpreting the barrier search pattern and thoroughly adjusting the release cycle, but how….?”
“It won’t last long. move quickly.”
At Lennok’s words, the party stopped chatting and moved quickly.
As you climb up the volcano, the surrounding environment changes drastically.
It is simply filled with heat, making it difficult to breathe, and the sight is obstructed by acrid smoke rising from below.
But Lennok was slightly awestruck by the view from the center of the volcano’s crater.
“No matter how much it is called the flame-type magic tower, I never thought it would settle in such an extreme place… … You deserve credit for your guts.”
A huge lake of lava bubbling up from the center of the mountain.
Five gigantic structures stand tall surrounding an extremely hot lake that glows in vermilion.
Lava pulled up from the floor flows leisurely between the twisted curves of the five spirally twisted towers.
Between each structure, a bridge made of bedrock is placed to support and connect each other.
Around the mage tower made of dull rock, lava flowed along the spiral texture and shone softly.
A unique appearance, as if light were emitted between the pitches of screws.
The Blaber Mage’s Tower went beyond simply settling in the volcanic area, and was using the volcanic lava as its power source.
As they headed towards the center of the crater, the party finally identified a person who met them on the ground of a huge tower.
He is an old man with a benevolent impression wearing a slightly dark red robe.
He had a pleasant smile on his face as he looked at the party on this side.
The old man waved his hand and shouted like a child.
“Eveline!!”
Even then, Evelyn trimmed her collar and walked toward the old man.
“It’s been a while, Einz-sama.”
The man called Einz immediately grabbed Evelyn’s hand, hugged her lightly, and held her by the shoulder.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you! Is life in the city okay?”
“Thanks for your concern.”
“The Marcia family is at least alive because of you. My ugly younger brother can’t take care of my goddaughter, so I have no face to see my older brother.”
Evelyn smiled faintly instead of saying anything.
After seeing the other party members, Einz returned with a serious face and slightly lowered his head.
“My name is Einz from Blaver Magic Tower’s Empirical Theory Research Class 3.”
A respectful attitude not felt by an arrogant Mage Tower wizard.
While the other party lowered their heads, Einz took something out of his pocket and immediately started handing it out.
“Everyone take one.”
A bracelet made of bright red paper. However, Lennok did not lose sight of the fact that some kind of magical power was engraved inside.
Einz pointed to the same object secretly hidden on his wrist and laughed.
“This item is given one by one to each guest invited by the Mage Tower. Basically, it is an item that proves the identity of an outsider and is a consumable item made for VIPs.”
“Consumables are….”
“If you rip your arms long, you will be reverse summoned outside the barrier of the Mage Tower. If you feel something is going wrong inside the magic tower, don’t hesitate to use it.”
For a moment there was silence among the group, who did not understand what the words meant.
Instead, Lennok spoke first.
“It seems Einz-sama is also wearing a bracelet like that.”
Einz looked back at Lennok with a slightly surprised expression and smiled softly.
“You are a wizard too. That’s quite a bit… … No, it’s amazing.”
“….”
“Exactly. At this point, I am no different from an outsider in this Mage Tower. Shall we go inside?”
While saying that, Einz naturally guided the party into the mage tower.
The rooftop of the Mage Tower corresponding to the head of the screw. When I went down the single road stairs in the gap, in an instant, a clean corridor with a cool breeze appeared.
Even though outsiders were banned from entering, the atmosphere inside the Mage Tower did not look so relaxed.
Each room is brightly lit, and through the windows in the hallway, people in various costumes and outfits can be seen moving.
Lennok, as well as the other agents, looked around a bit intrigued.
I didn’t know that this would be the first Mage Tower I visited, but it was true that I had always wondered how mages like him gathered and studied.
Einz walked at the front of the party with his hands behind his back, smiling brightly but not uttering a word.
“….”
In the eyes of others, it might look like leisure, but in Lennok’s eyes, it was different.
An extremely transparent expression, as if forcibly pretending to be calm.
For Lennok, who had been wearing a mask since his first day in the metropolis, it was not difficult to tell them apart.
He is not very accustomed to deceiving others.
Evelyn’s face hardened slightly, perhaps because she felt that the atmosphere in the Mage Tower was not as good as she thought.
In an instant, the party passed through the hallway of the magic tower and stood in front of a huge iron door.
The entrance to the wide hallway with an impressive huge chandelier.
Einz turned around in front of the door to the high-end conference room on the top floor of the Magic Tower.
“If you go in here, the senate will be waiting for you.”
His face was still calm, but his mouth was as hard as ever.
“I wish you luck in Evelyn.”
The iron door opened and Einz took a step back.
At the same time as the party entered, the thick door was closed tightly, and only then did the light slowly begin to come on in the meeting room full of darkness.
“…There is no one.”
As Mouser muttered, no one was present on the long table with an antique design and the neatly placed chairs.
But instead of saying anything, Evelyn took a seat in the simple chair in front of her.
Roaring!
At the same time, different flames began to rise above the seats at the table.
“….!!!”
[There must have been a barrier that prevented them from coming up the volcanic zone.]
While the other agents were surprised, a heavy bass sound resonated among the flames.
[It’s a very high-level jamming. Did you use your hand there?]
“….”
The party’s eyes all turned to Lennok.
The naturally swaying sparks also illuminated Lennok’s face.
After a moment of silence, a calm voice was heard from beyond the flames.
[You forgot the guests were coming and didn’t release the barrier. I’m sorry.]
A calm apology that doesn’t seem to have any intention of resolving the situation.
Eveline opened her mouth with a calm expression without showing any surprise.
“It seems that the elders did not intend to welcome us directly.”
[…] … .]
“You have been accredited and formally seated by the two cities, but are you going to say anything about this?”
It was only then that the flames that rose to the far right shook and let out a slow voice.
[Hyeongung…. We have heard that name well.]
“…[
Did you say that he was the archer who inherited Marcia’s secrets most fully? It’s welcome that a warrior of your level has visited the Mage Tower, but unfortunately the situation wasn’t quite right.]
The flames blazed up and down in the air, changing the side they reflected as if they were turning their heads.
[In addition, the Mouser workshop… … . I apologize for not being able to meet you personally. I’d appreciate it if Machina looked at this with generosity and handed it over.]
A polite tone different from when dealing with Ibelin.
You can imagine how much they value this furry blacksmith.
But Mouser shook his head despite that.
“I didn’t run this far just to hear that kind of greeting.”
[…] … .]
“Everyone is concerned about why the Blaver Magic Tower locked the door after the conflict with the Pandemonium. As you know, the mage tower you built in the volcanic region of Claronis is one of the largest furnaces on the continent. If you, who were one of the cores of the West Continent’s steel industry, are reluctant to disclose their work in this way, who wants to work together?”
The appearance that seemed foolish somewhere from the first time we met is gone, and only clear eyes and solemn voice remain.
Arrogant Wizards of the Mage Tower. There was no hesitation in the appearance of yelling at the senator who had reached the peak.
Lennok finally understood why Evelyn endured various inconveniences and waited for the machine city’s envoys.
In fact, it must be because it was difficult to have a justification for inspecting the Mage Tower without involving the people involved in the steel industry, who should react most sensitively to this incident.
“I won’t tell you to solve the problem right away and open the mage tower.”
said Mouser in a slightly softened voice.
“But at least you have to let us check that the Mage Tower is running smoothly without any problems.”
[that…. What does it mean?]
“We need proof that the Mage Tower has won the war against the Pandemonium and is just dealing with the aftermath.”
Mouser’s eyes sank deeply.
“At least I accepted this position today on the premise that I thought you all agreed to this.”
[…] … .]
There was a low silence.
Just like people trying to choose their words with the utmost care.
[Okay.]
After a while, the answer came from the flames on the far left, in the exact opposite direction.
Contrary to the roaring flames, the voice is extremely cold. The tone is polite, but it is cold as if an ice field is rolling.
[All facilities in the Mage Tower will be open to that person for three days from today.]
