Chapter 497. Lumie’s end (2) According to the rules of the tower, a match that gives the position of the next tower leader is sacred.
showed sufficient competence.
In addition, the new concept she introduced at the end deserves to be recognized as her achievement.
If there is any dissatisfaction there, Dia herself should be surpassed with her own skills.
Who dares to take it easy?
“Then I guess it means that there is no dissatisfaction with her being nominated as the next owner of the Mage Tower.”
When Helmin summoned the elders and asked them, they agreed in silence.
“…I see.”
“…I have no choice but to admit it. That is the rule.”
Surprisingly pure
Of course, the intentions are different.
Pressing and controlling it well is a later task.
And it’s her job.
Certainly, they do not express their dissatisfaction here.
It’s because Dia herself and I are also in this place right now.
Dia is the same wizard and qualified as the next tower owner.
And I as a supporter.
Well, this seat was established because there was an implicit condition that I would take care of the back boat as a full-fledged sponsor as a condition for Dia to sit in the next Mage Tower.
In the end, the elders accepted everything and left as if they had become puppets that only nodded.
Somehow, it seemed that some had given up on something.
Helmin happily watches the backs of the elders as if they are having fun somewhere.
It seems that while carrying out the work of the tower owner, there was quite a bit of accumulation against them.
Helmin, a man between us now, turned his gaze to Dia.
“… First of all, congratulations once again!
Miss Dia. How does it feel to be at the top of the tower?”
“It hasn’t officially started yet, so there’s no special feeling.”
Dia only responded coldly.
In fact, even when he returned to Pahilia after the confrontation, Dia locked herself in her room for a day or so, then ate and wandered around the castle casually.
“Right. That’s right. Is it too early to realize it?”
The tower owner is still Helmin.
It’s only after taking over in earnest that you enjoy the place or do something.
Well, it won’t be long until that day.
There is probably no one in the current Mage Tower who can stop Dia with his skills.
Ah, do you think you can stop it with your skills?
“I’m going to ask you to confirm one thing. Is that friend Gravel okay?”
The wizard who competed with Dia for the position of the next tower owner until the end.
….In the end, since he was a poor guy who was just used by his reincarnated person, I was curious about his current situation.
When I asked, Helmin’s face darkened slightly.
Perhaps the reason I ask is to be concerned in a slightly different sense.
“Certainly, you deserve to be concerned….
The problem with that level has already been known within the Mage Tower.
Exactly, I had to know.
Although it is good that Lumie, the reincarnated person hiding in the Mage Tower, was dealt with, the problem is to deal with the aftermath.
Normally, I would say I don’t know whether it’s treated as a missing person or what happens.
I couldn’t do that because there were a lot of things that were wide open.
There was no choice but to make it easier for the Mage Tower to understand this to some extent.
‘…Well, it’s only to the point where it’s easy to find evidence.’ They couldn’t have ignored the death of the elder Francena and, in addition, various grotesque papers popping up from her workshop.
In the end, I had no choice but to do some research.
And I realized.
That Elder Francena used her students to repeat the evil experiment.
And that the missing Lumie also took part in it.
Because the evidence was also found in her room.
However, he didn’t even know that Lumie was the instigator.
They investigated the death of Francena and the disappearance of Lumie, and it seemed that they tentatively concluded that it was the result of an infighting between the two.
Not wrong.
Actually, it was Rumi E that killed Francena.
And it’s true that he went missing far away.
Helmin had a mixed expression on his face as he mentioned the incident and the handling of the situation.
“It seems we were complacent.”
“It’s not your fault. In the end, the perpetrators are the problem.”
Helmin had a hunch that something was suspicious there.
“What about the victims?”
Most importantly, they are.
Wizards who have lost their talent.
It’s about those who didn’t know anything about themselves and just lost their strength and turned away from this place in despair.
Indeed, the Magic Tower asked to see what would happen to those poor people.
“We are trying to determine their identity and whereabouts. First, as soon as the investigation into Elder Francena and Disciple Lumie is completely finished. I am thinking of sending someone.”
“Are you going to explain?”
“Shouldn’t I…? More than anything else, I don’t think even Lord Arel will understand it if it’s not that.”
He smiled wryly, assuming to some extent why I had come to ask.
“I intend to compensate. Well, what would happen if it was money…
Helmin was speechless.
yes.
He probably knows that money alone is not a problem that can be solved.
“I don’t know if they will agree.”
Lost talent.
It was not his own fault, but he lost it because of the greed of others.
Of course, I can’t understand it clearly.
“Well, that is also a responsibility.”
It’s a bitter fact, but I have no choice but to say that.
Dia is just quietly listening to this conversation.
Helmin talked to her for a while, wondering what the meaning of the silence was.
“…Yes, it is such a mage tower. Disillusioned?”
“…that’s what I felt a long time ago. You came out because you knew that.”
“Right.”
Helmin lowered his head to see if he agreed with the answer, which could have been heard in either sense.
“That’s why I agree with the current head of the tower. It will definitely need to be changed… that’s why.”
Dia took out a document and handed it to him without a moment’s hesitation.
She said calmly to Helmin, who looked at the document and her face as if slightly embarrassed.
“First of all, I will try to use my hands on this.”
After that, possible constructive discussions were discussed, such as when to set the next pagoda owner’s succession in detail.
To put it in conclusion, it probably won’t take long for Dia to take over as the owner of the Mage Tower.
It seems that there is no more business, so we left Helmin behind.
Retiring and cleaning up would be a bad thing to keep on holding on to him, who is sure to be in trouble.
I don’t have any business anymore, so I just need to go home today.
However, another business came to mind elsewhere.
“Let’s see one more guy before we go back to Dia Castle.”
“…I was just about to ask you the same thing.”
She seemed to have the same opinion.
We headed straight to the private room of a magician on the middle floor of the mage tower.
It was none other than that level’s private room.
I already knew the location of this place in advance.
Even though it was an unannounced surprise visit, he seems to have waited for us as if it were natural, without any sign of surprise.
“…You’re here as well. Yes, I was waiting for you.”
“Did you expect to come?”
“Somehow it seemed so….
A remarkably bland voice.
It’s hard to believe that he’s the same person who growled at Dia the other day.
Perhaps it was because he didn’t get enough rest, and his complexion was haggard.
Even I hesitated for a while, wondering what to do with that.
I’ve become completely obsolete.
“Then I will go in.”
Dia calmly entered and stood behind the table, as if she didn’t care about his appearance at all.
You are strong.
I scratched the back of my head and followed him.
“I’m sorry I don’t have anything to give you.”
“doesn’t care. More than that, um… are you okay?”
I thought it would be better to ask.
To that extent, he does not have the spirit of a young talented person.
“Well, there’s no way it’ll be okay.”
Because Grevel would have known all the truth.
Other people’s eyes will also be heavy, but what weighs him down more than that is probably a sense of shame.
“I… thought that the skills I had accumulated were only the result of my hard work and the guidance of my mentor… her. But that wasn’t it
…
He also knows now.
The fact that the state he built was built by stealing the talent he wanted to protect so much from alumni.
What you believed in is destroyed in an instant.
Even more so, he was infatuated and showed a radical tendency. Even if it was deliberately induced, the sense of shame when you know everything is not normal.
“What’s even more terrifying is that these circles still don’t go away.”
“It can’t be helped. It’s probably my guess, but it must have been completely assimilated into your mana.”
How can I do it by external means?
For example, making the body unable to use magic forever by blocking or destroying the circle in a way that is used to punish wizards.
However, in the end, it seems that he was taken advantage of without knowing, so even within the Mage Tower, the treatment of him seems to be quite talkative.
In addition, even if it was created through the teacher’s evil research, it was an 8th class.
It would be a waste to throw it away.
At that point, I am disillusioned with the thinking of those old people.
Although he seemed to be suffering from such an ambiguous position.
In the end, he was arrogant, drunk with power, but he was not an arrogant kid to the root.
Perhaps that action itself was also Lumie’s trick.
….Well, that’s why Dia must have been quite worried about cleaning up the mobile unit.
For now, I have to say what I have to say first.
she is next
“You seem pretty worried, right?”
“I just think I have to take responsibility.”
“responsibility? what how?”
But what I am saying is not consolation.
Rather, it pushed him even more coldly.
Absolutely not out of malice.
“What responsibility do you take for being fooled by my teacher and classmates without knowing anything? Do you think you can do it? Are you such a great person?”
It’s just an admonition.
He listens to my reprimands in complete whiteness without any objection.
“Was the responsibility you speak of sitting here holding your head like this?”
“Then… what should I do…?”
“That is something that no one will teach you, just… well done. I’m not here to blame you today. And I have no reason to.”
Maybe it’s because of age?
It’s a big deal because I keep nagging myself these days.
It’s a big deal.
My tongue is becoming a kkondae.
I should just go home and eat sweets and lie down.
“Your business is our exclusive wizard.”
“Yes, it is me.”
I blinked and Dia opened her mouth this time.
All this time, she had been looking down at him with indifferent eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Dia… Leckie?”
“…Even if I’m not involved, no one can say anything to me. Even that would not be the duty.”
It also implies being in a position to lead the position of the Mage Tower in the next era.
“And first of all, motivation. You have to pay a little attention. That’s all.”
“…what the hell do you want to say? Do you want to laugh at me?”
“No, this is a suggestion.”
Dia took out the document and put it in front of him.
It’s the same as the one I showed Helmin a while ago.
“This??????
