Episode 81. It was a simple problem.
Appropriate level 900 level.
No, a whopping 1,000 later.
It’s not an ordinary crack.
I had to see it as a bug.
“Where is that crack popping up all of a sudden!”
“Isn’t it really because of that senior wizard who was said to be missing?”
“If you go in, you’ll almost certainly be killed.”
So, the moment Ho-yeol enters that crack.
It was only natural for the world to turn upside down.
“I can’t believe it when I see it…”
What is the role of the program host?
It’s a law that needs to be filled with audio in any situation.
However, the presenter was speechless.
The silence lasted from seconds to minutes—
it was clear that it was a broadcast accident.
viewers, of course.
Even PD Hyun Yong-seok sympathized with the host’s feelings.
“…what are we looking at?”
“Senior, this isn’t a dream, is it?”
“no. Even if it’s Lee Ho-yeol, that’s it.”
Hoyeol’s performance so far?
It was surprising enough.
No, it was a series of surprises.
From Count Ascura to Demon King Decarabia.
Even compared to top ranked players.
Because it was Ho-yeol who only defeated enemies with overwhelming superiority.
But this was a different matter.
That rift looked sudden and dangerous to anyone.
But Ho-yeol had no hesitation.
As always, he entered the crack without hesitation.
Such a hot fever was on the airwaves.
The presenter’s voice coming from the TV.
It is a step towards the peace of mankind.
That is a noble attitude.
He is a hero of mankind beyond the player.
Rox, who had been listening silently, shrugged.
‘It’s amazing Lee Ho-yeol.’
[Kirnberg Machine Tower] Experience in the rift.
Through him, Lee Ho-yeol is at least level 900.
It was Rocks who measured Hoyeol’s level.
“But to Lee Ho-yeol, this is no big deal.”
So even when he heard the news that Lee Ho-yeol had entered the proper level 900 rift, Rox was not surprised.
Just ‘Lee Ho-yeol was hot.’ Is it that kind of feeling?
However, there was one surprise.
“proposal? Are you crazy?”
Jesse said he would follow Ho-yeol into the rift.
Camilla asked frightened.
“You just said it with your own mouth. As long as the senior mage of the Mage Tower is involved, there’s nothing good about stepping out. But what would you do in such a place…?”
Then, he blurted his horse’s tail.
He could tell from Jesse’s cold expression.
No matter how much I say, I won’t be able to break that stubbornness.
‘If it were a normal situation.’
I wouldn’t have bothered to stop Jesse.
Business relationship rather than colleague.
After all, Jesse was someone who could leave the Shining Guild at any time.
But it seemed clear to Jesse that he was mistaken about something.
It was time to seek advice as a business partner.
“If I go, it will only get in the way.”
“…what?”
“What do you think of Lee Ho-yeol? proposal.”
You have to worry about the people you care about.
furthermore.
“Lee Ho-yeol is not alone.”
“!”
“I think you know better than I do, Jessie? What kind of existence is the chief mage of the Mage Tower? I heard that you are the best senior wizard among those proud senior wizards?”
Chief Wizard Marcelo.
As Rocks said.
It was Jesse who knew his abilities better than any other player.
The cone-shaped hat on his head also reminded him of that fact.
-Yes, isn’t it safe if Marcelo is with you?
It wasn’t like he was saying something to ease his pupil’s worries.
If it’s Marcelo guy.
Even if the senior wizard comes out hostile.
can be easily overpowered.
But that’s why I had my doubts.
-I don’t know how you got along.
The cone hat is well aware of the useless rules of the Mage Tower.
Also, that Marcelo, that skinny kid, knows the contradictions of the rules, but doesn’t break them. But Marcelo broke the rules and went outside the Mage Tower…
– The Mage Tower will be excited for a while.
Will change come to the immutable mage tower?
Only one person has changed.
There was only a fever.
Indeed, it has to be at this level to be able to call him a man who aroused my interest.
‘I know.’
Jesse finally loosened his fists. how hard you clenched your fists. His already white fingers turned pale because blood did not flow through them.
‘I know…’
Do you know that you can’t be of any help as Rox said?
Realizing your own weakness?
Are you afraid that you won’t be able to see the magic of Ho-Yeol forever?
Even if I thought about it now, it seemed that I would not be able to answer.
this moment.
Because all Jesse could see were cracks in the screen.
Of course, the wait wasn’t too long.
consistent stride.
consistent outfit.
until the interview.
– “I will not take any questions. It is an internal matter.”
Literally safe return.
As if nothing had happened.
Because Hoyeol showed up.
*
Yes, this guy’s internal affairs are not over yet.
portal manifestation.
Return to the Magic Tower.
Me, Marcelo, and Bangrit climbed the stairs of the Mage Tower.
“sorry. Because of me…”
“It’s not your fault. Banglet.”
“Ask forgiveness from the audience who have been waiting for your presentation.”
How!
How can it be so different even if we reply to the same words!
Like Marcelo’s consolation, there was nothing wrong with Bangrit.
This guy’s snout never let out a single word.
however.
“of course. I do not intend to miss the opportunity I seized again.”
I wondered if this was a bribe or a banglet that I was trying to hand over.
It seems like people have changed.
I don’t know why, but it’s probably not because of me.
‘So, get rid of the unnecessary energy in your throat…’
As you said, all I did was spit vicious words at Bangrit.
Talking about academic conferences in that serious situation.
“Bangrit. The most important thing is your safety.”
I confirmed the quest at Marcelo’s words.
─Secure the chief mage, Bangrit Tom, who is entangled with the Mage Tower’s leadership. (In progress)
Yes, the quest was still in progress.
You’re saying it’s not over yet.
Marcelo was thorough in that respect.
Kung─
Responds to Marcelo’s magical energy.
The huge door opened to reveal a view of the Crystal Hall.
Includes crystal hole and banglet.
All the senior wizards were gathered.
The senior wizards who were on standby opened their mouths.
“Bangrit is safe!”
“sorry. It caused trouble.”
“I don’t know English, but I’m glad for now.”
“Chief Marcelo! How did this happen?”
Look at those eyes
Marcelo invokes Chief Privilege.
It seemed that all the senior wizards had been summoned.
Well, I could guess why.
It is natural that seniors need an explanation.
“To protect Bangrit’s identity and to avoid unnecessary suspicion. Please wait a moment. I will come back with a definitive answer or send a signal.”
Indeed, Marcelo.
It was a space where twenty senior wizards gathered.
Even if someone tried to threaten Bangrit’s safety.
It would be impossible to harm Bangrit without their eyes.
I also understood that it was to avoid unnecessary suspicion.
‘Because the place where the suspicious eyes are headed is the upper part.’
The head of the upper magic tower.
It wasn’t enough that I put a status ailment on Bangrit. It was none other than the elder mage who directed him to the rift and the fissure from which the demon came out.
I am aware of that fact.
And Marcelo did not delay.
climbed the stairs again.
“I expected the elders to be hiding something. I never thought it might be related to the devil. I am ashamed to see you like this.”
I couldn’t even imagine.
I thought the devil would have extended his magic powers to the magic tower.
However, this is still speculation.
‘Until you see it yourself.’
until you check it yourself.
That’s just speculation.
Although very likely.
I said to Marcelo, who looked sad.
“You are not the one who should bow your head. Chief Marcelo.”
“…?”
“Because it’s them, not you, who should have no face.”
The top floor of the magic tower that we have reached.
The people I’m talking about were, of course, elder mages.
Noblesse Oblige.
The higher the position, the greater the responsibility.
Even if you didn’t know, that’s just an excuse.
The pride of Grandfel is that the incompetence of the elders cannot be tolerated.
…Anyway, what’s so bright about it?
The light that fell from the ceiling of the magic tower.
The faces couldn’t be seen properly because of the backlight.
The number of elders could be determined by the number of shadows.
four people
Yes, there must be someone related to the devil among them.
In addition to being related, there may be people possessed by demons.
Depending on the flow of the conversation, there was a good chance that a battle would take place.
‘It’s my fault, but it’s ferocious once I sell it…’
Was it a tragedy when seen from afar?
I’m at the magic tower.
That, too, entered the same position as the chief mage.
I want to show this situation to those who were envious of me.
mage tower.
As it turns out, there is no such bean powder group in soybean powder.
Even the shadow mercenaries, who stake their lives on money, weren’t so corrupt, really.
Isn’t it for nothing that the upper water is clear so that the lower water is clear?
The relationship between the senior mages was not bad for nothing.
‘Are you trying to take care of the experience points you couldn’t get because you missed the devil?’
If that’s the case, I wanted to refrain with all my might.
Because the opponent was an elder mage.
We just met.
The feeling of intimidation is no joke.
But as long as the pride moved.
There is no fear or trembling.
Even if I drown in pride.
That I have no choice but to confront.
Besides, the worst possibility was conceived from the beginning.
So, I prepared myself for this as well.
The senior wizards gathered in the Crystal Hall were preparing for it.
Bangrit should be explaining the current situation by now.
– I’ll come back with a definitive answer or send a signal.
Yes, Marcelo’s signal is the beginning of an all-out war.
However, the development did not lead to catastrophe.
“!”
Because Marcelo opened his mouth.
Quick—
with this grinding sound.
“Why are there only four of you?”
…What is it that wasn’t originally 4 people?
.
.
.
The roundtable meeting is postponed.
Banglet Tom goes missing.
The moment I even found out that the devil was involved in this case.
Marcelo had all the possibilities in mind.
Even an all-out war with the elder mages.
But I hadn’t thought of this situation.
“I know the story of Senior Wizard Bangrit Tom.”
“I’m so sorry, Marcelo.”
“I never thought there would be a devil worshiper among our elders. By the time we got the evidence, it was already too late. Because the honor of the Magic Tower is at stake. I tried to chase him even belatedly, but as you can see.”
Devil worshipers…!
I never thought the elders would bring up the story first.
Marcelo swallowed dryly.
It was an unexpected reaction and development.
My mind was confused.
‘Where am I supposed to believe that?’
In fact, I knew it in my head.
‘I can’t believe a single word they say!’
The contradictions of the elder mages were not one or two.
Even if they are not related to the devil.
Their words were completely unreliable.
That alone was exhausting enough.
The moment when even the devil intervened.
Marcelo’s head was so complicated that it felt like it was about to explode.
‘…can you be sure that the worshiper is really one?’
But what if you can’t believe it?
Unless the elders came out with that attitude.
Do I have a reason to move the senior mages?
‘Damn it.’
Marcelo gritted his teeth.
I looked at the tower owner floating in the sphere.
‘Doesn’t the tower lord know?’
Although I know that the answer will not come back.
I felt like I wanted to shout out of frustration.
“It is indeed true.”
…But the answer came.
From Ho-yeol, not from the top owner.
Hoyeol, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“Because this place smells like devil worshipers. But it’s a strange thing. According to you, the devil worshipers have already left the tower.”
“…!”
On such a hot-tempered face.
It didn’t feel complicated or disturbing.
All that came to mind was certainty.
“To the extent that it simply permeates the smell. Is it because the devil worshipers stayed here for a long time? Or is it because another devil worshiper dares to remain here?”
“!”
“What do you guys think?”
At that question, Marcelo looked at the elders.
I couldn’t see the reaction.
Because of the backlight, I couldn’t see his expression, and no one answered.
However, Ho-yeol seems to have expected even that.
continued to speak
“If it was a question that was difficult to answer, I would ask it in a different way.”
That’s a key point that even Marcelo hadn’t thought of.
“Who is the majority who approved Bangrit’s departure?”
…yes!
Senior Mage Bangrit’s tower.
Such a decision required the approval of a majority of the senior leadership.
Did the elder wizards also notice the meaning of such Ho-yeol?
“!!!!”
The four shadows immediately split in two.
An unusual current flowed between them.
“Three to the one who escaped. Now I can clearly see the majority.”
Hoyeol looked at Marcelo and continued.
“Isn’t that right, Chief Mage Marcelo?”
.
.
.
[Quest: The Truth of the Magic Tower]
There is a contradiction in the Wizard’s Tower.
uncover inconsistencies.
Set up the magic tower and the truth right away.
─Secure the chief mage, Bangrit Tom, who is entangled with the Mage Tower’s leadership. (Success)
─Find out the devil worshipers among the elder mages. (In progress)
The reason I made the cubic crystal is simple.
If not now.
This quest will never succeed.
Above all, the difficulty level didn’t make sense.
Wizard of the Mage Tower.
Those are also the elder mages.
Unless under normal circumstances.
I am a being that cannot even look at the face.
Even if they meet face-to-face, the problem remains.
Leaving the position, just look at the intimidation they exude.
Stronger than Marcelo.
Because I never felt weak.
But what if that’s not enough?
Are you a devil worshiper?
Even the level of entangled demons was no joke. He was a guy who gave up one arm and ran away after being hit by a single blow that almost poured out his mana.
So, to sum it up.
This wasn’t a quest I was meant to succeed in!
Even if the scale is large in the first place, it is too big.
After growing up enough to stand up to the elder mage.
Can’t you just do the quest?
Looking at what happened today, can I say that?
The plan for Bangrit has failed.
It was obvious that next time I would make a more thorough plan and execute it.
Stopping the whole plan.
Level up and even grow?
I could tell you it was impossible.
however.
It is possible now.
If you have prepared yourself now.
There was no need to say why.
Because Marcelo, realizing what I meant, jumped into action.
yeah that was a sign
The top floor of the Magic Tower.
Portal manifested.
The connection coordinates are the Crystal Hall.
The one that soon appeared in the group of lights.
Twenty senior mages.
What if the opponent is an elder mage and a devil worshiper?
There are two elder mages here.
One senior wizard.
The senior wizard is twenty.
And that means I have Lee Ho-yeol.
Yes, this is something beyond the Ho-ga-ho-wi level.
knowing that fact.
I said it more shamelessly.
“It is time to pay for your deceit, foolish worshiper.”
