EPISODE.29
The Magic Tower Association.
Unlikely, it was called the tower circumference meeting, which was unusually a magic society that only the owners of the mage tower could attend.
The owners of the 20 or so magic towers in Endymion gathered in one place to hold a conference.
In fact, it was safe to say that it was a place for socializing because of the good talk.
However, this did not mean that it did not take on the character of a society at all.
Only the owner of the Magic Tower and one of his companions can attend the conference.
In general, tower masters used to have their disciples as their companions.
It was also a place where students could broaden their knowledge and show a wider world.
Besides, if you were lucky enough to have a tower lord of a higher rank than you teach your student, it would have been tantamount to a windfall.
Anyway, for that reason, most tower owners were on the side of attending the Sorcery Tower Meeting.
The king, who hosts the Magic Tower Association, and the owners of the four major Magic Towers, were also on the side of revealing their faces.
just one person.
Even though the king also occupies a place in the four magic towers, there was one person who did not show his face very often in the pagoda meeting.
That’s Daria Snowwhite-.
‘It’s Master.’
Recalling the rumors he had heard in his previous life, Russell met her eyes.
“I heard that Master doesn’t often attend Tower Meetings. Do you have a special reason?”
“huh?”
She patted her chest lightly at Russell’s question.
He nodded his head as if it were natural.
“cancer. There’s a reason for that every time. That is a very important reason.”
When Russell made a curious expression, a meaningful smile spread across her face.
“Actually…”
“…?”
“All of the refreshments picked by the owners of the four magic towers are tasteless.”
“yes?”
Russell wondered if he had heard it wrong for a moment.
“All of these old men seem to have weakened their sense of taste because they are all old, so they always prepared only tasteless sweets and tea. So most of them didn’t attend. Of course, when I host, the story is different. giggle.”
Russell was speechless at the story that he arranged the refreshments to suit his taste.
It seemed to be dumbfounded.
It was not compulsory to attend the tower meeting.
But that’s the only reason you’re not attending.
On the contrary, I think that’s why it’s like her.
“Oh, of course I will attend this time.”
Then Daria extended her finger and pointed at Russell.
“It is the same with you. It’s just that the sweets don’t taste good, so I’ll have to put up with it a little.”
“Are you with me?”
To attend the tower meeting with you?
I didn’t dare to ask for it, but it was something I wanted.
But on the other hand, can I go? It was true that I thought so.
‘There are two executioners.’
Daria waved her hand as if to blow away those worries.
“All the other guys came along once in a while. And most of all, the main character in this Tower Tour will be you, the maknae.”
A mage who not only had the upper hand against three of the same 4th circle mages, but also won the Abomination.
A supernova that not only overcame the Empire’s pursuit, but also defeated Spandom, a disciple of the Empire’s Superman, and returned by slashing the supply and demand.
“Giggle. It’s already worth seeing the expressions on the faces of the guys who boasted that they were tower owners.”
It’s something that hasn’t happened yet in Daria’s plan, which I can guess.
For some reason, it seemed that his face was already burning red.
.
.
around evening.
Just in time for the sun to set, the western sky is dyed a blazing red color.
After exiting the salt tower with the red-hot sky behind, Russell moved on.
‘Today’s schedule is roughly finished.’
All that was left was to go home and rest, as others would have done.
After all, there was nothing wrong with having a full day and resting in the spare time.
However, Russell was different.
After coming out of the Salt Tower, his steps were on their way to one of the libraries located within the capital.
‘The Royal Magical Library.’
It was a library located not far from the Rubrium Museum.
It was also a slightly special library that only wizards belonging to the Mage Tower could enter.
And the reason Russell found this library was clear.
‘To examine books and papers related to dragons.’
It was clear that this ability given to him was related to the dragon.
That’s why I wanted to find a little bit of clues or clues.
‘Of course, there’s virtually nothing I’ve been able to find out.’
I checked all the appearances of dragons that appeared in the last few thousand years through books and papers.
He couldn’t find a horn that had the same shape as the one he absorbed.
‘That means it’s a dragon that has never been recorded, or else we have to look at the records from thousands of years ago…’
The problem was a few thousand years ago.
It is that the records of the mythological age and immediately after that are not very common.
‘The Age of Myth and its immediate aftermath.’
It is unknown what happened, but most of the civilization at the time was destroyed, and the records were not properly preserved.
even across the continent.
‘Usually this happens in one of two cases.’
Unless someone intentionally expunged the records or not-.
‘A big war broke out.’
In fact, neither is easy to make sense of.
Still, if we were to discuss the possibility, it was highly likely the latter.
To deliberately obliterate the history of not just a part, but the entire continent.
It was difficult to even dream with the power of one or two people.
The time required would also take well over a thousand years.
‘This is a story that would only be possible in a novel.’
Then, the only thing left is the latter.
Could it be that a war occurred on a scale that covered the entire continent?
‘after.’
After thinking for a moment, Russell shook his head.
Despite feeling frustrated with the records of the time that could not be found, Russell eventually took a step towards the library.
Because that was the best he could do now.
It was about a week before the Sorcery Tower Meeting was held.
* * *
It is the window tower that is in charge of the Tower Tour held this time.
A wizard shouted loudly at the entrance of the social hall selected by the owner of the window tower.
“Daria Snowwhite, the lord of flames, has arrived!”
A voice full of magic.
Along with shouting, the sound waves that started outside the social hall spread evenly to the inside of the social hall.
Even that wasn’t enough, until it created a strange wave and spread like an echo.
In this way, this voice could be heard no matter where you were in the social hall.
An outstanding move using the nature of magical power rather than using special magic.
But there was something more surprising than that.
It was the skill of a wizard standing right at the entrance.
‘The 5th circle mage is only doing the job of guarding the entrance?’
Russell was convinced within a moment to stick his tongue out at the absurd sight.
It must have been a gathering attended by tower owners.
The minimum qualification to become the owner of the Magic Tower is to complete the 6th circle.
To put it another way, it was that none of the pagoda owners present today did not make it to the 6th circle.
Of course, not all 6-circle wizards built towers.
‘Because as the number of things to take care of has increased, the amount of time I can devote to myself has decreased that much.’
Wizards who didn’t want that didn’t bother to build the tower.
Nevertheless, the current situation is that about half of the 6th circle wizards have built their own towers.
It was clear that it had its own advantages as well.
The echo bends several times, terrifyingly gurgling.
The door opened with a heavy sound, revealing what was inside.
A round table provided for all pagoda owners to sit on.
Four chairs of red, blue, white, and yellow colors are placed around the round table as if to divide it into quarters.
‘Perhaps that is where the lords of the four magic towers of the royal capital sit.’
Two of them were seated by passengers.
They were the owners of the Mage Tower, each sitting in the seat of Hwang and Qing.
Sitting alone is the appearance of both of them this time not accompanied by a disciple.
“okay. I knew you would come this time.”
The elderly window owner, skinny like an old tree, looks at Daria and Russell alternately and opens his mouth.
“I have a reason to come, so I must come.”
As if in response, Daria patted Russell on the shoulder and giggled.
It was right after that that the old man who was sitting in the yellow chair got up.
“It’s been a while. Seniors.”
An appearance reminiscent of an Eastern monk with an impressive one eye covered in an eyepatch.
It was Niccolo Machiavelli, the owner of the Yellow Tower.
Daria clicked her tongue in disgust at him.
“I told you not to call me senior with that face?”
“haha. what would you do You should call seniors seniors.”
As she said, Daria, who had the appearance of a middle-aged person on the outside, looked very young.
In real age, Daria was seven years older than him.
“Tsk.”
Daria clenched her tongue, looking around at the other seats that had not yet been filled.
“But you all came early.”
“Anyway, isn’t it a place held in rotation in the Mage’s Tower, too? I just came out early to greet guests. You’re the lord of the central mage tower, so there’s no need to be condescending.”
“I can’t see Hayang for anything like that?”
The answer came from the Hwangtapju.
“Baektapju said that a big typhoon was coming up in the west, so we departed yesterday at the request of the royal family to help reduce the damage.”
Among the four major attributes, the symbol of the White Pagoda is wind.
And wind magic was closely related to meteorology.
“Well, it’s summer soon, so it’s time for Hayang to be very busy.”
Daria smiled in agreement with the explanation of the Yellow Tower Master.
He sat down in his seat and introduced the yellow pagoda wine to Russell.
“Come to think of it, this is your first time, right? say hello That hairless guy is the Hwangtapju. It’s Niccolo Machiavelli.”
“her. Seniors. No matter how much I shaved my head myself, if you say that, it hurts me too.”
Contrary to the words he mumbled as if he was sad, his expression was completely insignificant.
“My junior, Russell Raymond, is meeting the Lord of the Hwangtap.”
At Russell’s greeting, he smiled proudly.
“You are the rumored friend. McRae Hughes. Didn’t that guy’s apprentice, Spandom, come back from beheading?”
The moment when the name of ‘McRae Hughes’, the superman of the empire, was mentioned.
It was not an illusion that there was a blue feeling in the calm voice.
A voice mixed with anger.
Daria explained why.
“He owes a debt to old McRae Hughes. He might have died if I hadn’t helped him. giggle.”
Words that could have boosted one’s self-esteem.
Nevertheless, Nicolo laughed.
A sharp smile as if recalling the defeat of the previous day.
He took off the blindfold covering one eye.
He said while showing the long sword and prosthetic eye located inside.
“haha. You’ve been beaten once, you won’t be beaten twice. Seniors.”
Curleung.
The earth trembled as soon as the words ended.
It was as if he was responding to his feelings.
‘This person is the lord of the Yellow Tower…’
A wizard who is counted among the top three in the kingdom.
A sage of the earth who is said to be a superman, who has crossed the wall of the 7th circle and is now considered to be close to the 8th circle.
“Anyway, thanks to you, I felt refreshed after a long time.”
I hope you will continue to deliver exciting news from time to time.
After saying that, the Hwangtapju chuckled.
Diraa and the window tower owner turned their heads at the same time.
“It seems to be coming soon.”
“I mean.”
I feel a huge presence approaching from outside the door.
Sensing not one but many signs, the owner of the window tower prepared to welcome guests.
“Of the Blue Tower of Loen…”
“The Master of the Magic Tower of the Yellow Tower of Caliburn…”
The Masters of the Magic Tower who attended the Sorcery Tower Meeting.
and their disciples.
The meeting of the stars that Russell had never even thought of, let alone attend, was starting in earnest.
