How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job Chapter 185

Chapter 185. Me and the seven tigers (3) + Why do wizards like towers? (1) Magic Towers have a very closed personality, so there are not many opportunities to peek inside them unless this is an opportunity.

If you don’t know where they live, you’ll have a harder time getting a better position.

That is why there is a need for me to go on my own, despite the inconvenience.

“okay? You said you didn’t mind anytime?”

Well, the last time, Helmin, the lord of the mage tower, said that too.

“Then of course we should go!”

“When do you want to leave?”

“Let’s go now!”

“Is it now?”

“why’? Come anytime.”

I smiled at Dia, who was puzzled, and told her to prepare.

“Then isn’t it the duty of a person to visit at any time?”

If you say oh, you really go.

that’s me

Why do wizards like towers? (1) The location of the Ernesia Magic Tower has not been officially announced.

There are several reasons, if I have to point them out.

First of all, for confidentiality and safety.

Magic is a very dangerous art.

If you have enough malice and ideas, you can use them endlessly.

However, it is a very convenient and attractive technology to stay away from danger.

That’s why the great countries that built the tower take the policy of supporting the tower on their own, but they try to hide it so that the location is never known.

The same goes for our Ernesia Kingdom.

“It’s really well hidden.”

With the teleport gate to the magic tower in front of me, I commented with a half-sarcasm.

From now on, I will explain assuming that I do not know the location.

A pre-authorized person makes a random transfer through this gate to one of the other gates.

And again a random transfer through the gate.

Repeat this four times to reach the Magic Tower.

“Who was the idiot who thought of this?”

“It is said that the owner of the magic tower is an idiot.”

Dia also shook her head softly, as if acknowledging that this was a pretty insane entry procedure.

The access method was overly complicated.

It must be a method that can be taken because it is a mage tower with strong tendencies of closed wizards who usually do not go outside.

‘Well, at least it might be better to hide it.’

If there is an invasion and the technology leaks out, then it will be a really troublesome situation.

“Arell? Does anyone really know where this place is?”

“Yeah, no one knows.”

I nodded at Dia’s question.

First of all, I’ll say it on the premise that I don’t know.

Actually I know but pretend not to know!

“In addition to these methods, even influential nobles and royalty do not know the exact location thanks to the fact that it is hidden with hundreds of layers of barriers.”

Nothing is known to me either.

So I did a separate investigation and found out secretly.

“Ah, the only person I know is my father.”

And just in case something happens to my father, the head of the house keeps a will in which he wrote down his father’s main secrets.

“If no one really knows, you can have a different mind, right? That is why the royal family should know.”

“okay.”

“but. Um… I’m sure even the oldest brother will know about it.”

He is currently busy preparing to succeed the throne.

Some confidential information would have been known soon.

It’s ironic, though, that I secretly found out all of the secrets.

After going through the cumbersome entry and exit procedures and crossing the gate several times after that, we finally arrived at the magic tower.

The majesty of the towering Mage Tower.

Oops, look up and break your head.

Be very cheeky too.

However, even such a magnificent magic tower would not be visible from the outside because of the barrier.

‘Visual blocking barrier. Even the sense of smell and hearing are blocked. Ohh? Besides that, there are barriers for various uses, right?’

I was looking up at the tower, counting the number of barriers used, and contemplating how many punches I would have to hit to break them all.

Dia was going through a brief entry procedure to the wizard who managed the door.

“I’m Dia Reki from Ernesia.”

I have already been notified of my affiliation and purpose of visit, so I let him in without much doubt.

“Come to think of it, you, D.A., are still enemies in the Mage Tower, right?”

“Yes, I am doing as Arel-nim instructed.”

In the past, when I officially put Dia on our side, I advised her not to omit the fact that she is listed in the Mage Tower.

That’s why this visit was able to contact the contact system in her name without going through another wizard.

It is for the sake of the future.

Even if she feels sad because the magic tower didn’t do anything right for her, it might be worthwhile to use later.

Dia seemed to understand that as well, so she followed my advice.

However, the Mage Tower helped them overcome the restrictions placed on their wizards.

It is to erase all risks and put only your feet on it so that you can use it anywhere.

this is the best location

If you don’t want any more honey to suck on, then you can throw it away.

“The occasional advice is annoying.”

“Just ignore that.”

While having such a conversation, we started going up the floor of the Mage Tower following the guidance of another mage.

“Are we going straight to the master’s room?”

“It seems so.”

“Sorry.”

I wanted to look around a bit.

Well, I can’t show you that easily.

They’d guess that I’d figure out a lot of technology just by looking at it.

Those of us on the teleport magic circle were transported to the very top.

At the top of this tower is the master’s room.

The tightly closed door opened on its own, and the Magic Tower, Helmin, whom I had met once before, knelt down in front of me with a quiet bow.

“On behalf of all the mages belonging to the Ernesia Mage Tower, Arell-nim welcomes the visit personally.”

Ernesia Magic Tower Lord Helmin politely greeted me.

“I was really looking forward to Arel-nim’s visit.”

In fact, this is what they say, but with common sense, there’s no way you can say ‘I’m not welcome’.

It’s true that it’s word of mouth, but it’s obvious.

However, that man is acting moderately well, as if he could feel the sincerity of such obvious words.

Surely I should have given you an almost surprise notice that I would be visiting only this morning.

There is no sign of embarrassment at all.

“I’m sorry for coming so suddenly.

I’m a bit impatient.”

“it’s okay. It’s because we’ve made preparations for Arell-nim to visit us anytime.”

Saying that, he led me into the room.

Dia came along and the wizard who was the guide tried to come in after him.

thud.

As if blocked by an invisible wall, he banged his forehead and panicked.

Helmin silently shakes his head.

Only then did he understand his intentions and left.

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t have to kick you out, does it?”

“Aren’t you here to talk about something important? Then wouldn’t it be better to have as few listeners as possible?”

That’s not wrong.

Still, I wondered if someone would have to bring in at least a car.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the magic tower was riding the car himself.

“Are you quite skilled?”

“It is one of the few hobbies.”

As he said, the tea he served was quite good.

“When I was inexperienced, it was my daily routine to ride in the car of my seniors. Thanks to that, even now, that habit hasn’t gone away, so what’s the trouble?”

“Because it was the days when the master of the Magic Tower was drinking tea…

I sipped tea with a wry smile.

It is definitely a taste worth having.

“What about the other wizards? I think I heard that there are many talented people here.”

I was barely aware of the small number of wizards in the Mage Tower.

“Why don’t you at least say hello?”

“Unfortunately, due to work, most wizards are not here right now. All that remains are the inexperienced ones.”

“is it.”

that’s a bit pricey

It was an opportunity to gauge the approximate average level of this place.

I muttered inadvertently as I glanced around his office slightly disappointed.

“…Did you expand the inner space by transforming the space?”

“Did you notice?”

“not a big deal. It was just because the size of the tower seen from the outside and the size here were too different. If you have a knack for measuring, everyone will notice, right?”

In addition, I am also using a similar technique for the My Room series.

Since such a huge building would be quite ambiguous to touch, it was the standard way to expand the necessary space with magic in this way.

“As expected, your eyesight isn’t normal.”

“it’s okay. I’ve heard compliments on my lips since I started walking around. There doesn’t seem to be anything else to see, so I’ll tell you something.”

“Let’s do that.”

There is no other sign of regret.

As expected, since there will be a researcher’s temperament at the root, it will be easier to quickly get to the point rather than exchanging mouth-watering words.

“This is what I want to request.”

I instructed Dia to take out some blunt blueprints and theories and laid them out.

I hadn’t even explained it yet, but Helmin skimmed through a few lines and groaned intrigued.

“Hmm?…”

“Do you understand roughly?”

“Are you forcing mana out of the surrounding atmosphere, collecting it, then exploding it to push the cylinder? You are repeating that rescue movement.”

“Thanks to you, it saved me the trouble of a detailed explanation.”

As expected, he is the leader of the wizards.

Good understanding.

He is an easy-going person to talk to.

Because there is no need for a detailed explanation.

“Call it the engine. It is a device that transmits power with the operation method you described.”

“okay. But why do you do this to me?”

“This is what I want to ask of you.”

Since Arken and Darman’s previous appeals, I’ve reconsidered it over and over again.

As a result, as the two said, it was only possible to conclude that there was not enough manpower to develop this only in our territory.

There is no problem with parts, but there is a problem with magical processing.

The rice cake is in the rice cake shop.

Was the magic the magic tower?

“For now, parts and structural problems can be almost finished here. However, I thought it would be the quickest to ask your side about the problems of mana injection and various adjustments.”

“okay. It is as Arel said.”

How are you? I don’t deny it.

Although they appear low-key, do you mean they don’t want to hide the fact that their mage tower is good?

He probably wasn’t bluffing, and he seemed to have concluded that it was possible after examining my proposal and the blueprints I had just shown him.

No matter how skillful I am, I can’t hide the sound of my eyeballs rolling.

“If you have any questions, just ask. Don’t think of it as a headache.”

“…What are you going to use this for? Unfortunately, I do not dare to jump to conclusions first.”

“There is quite a bit to write about. There are only two of them that I need. One ship.”

“You mean the boat?”

“Using this, you can create a device that can deliver propulsion naturally without rowing.”

One of the reasons why I bothered to research this was to remodel a merchant ship owned by the Geothal Corporation, which I had previously acquired.

Even now, by the standards of this place, it’s a great merchant ship, but too old-fashioned to satisfy my greed.

That’s why I made a plan to remodel the merchant ship.
