336. Relentless
.
“Hey, the room is nice!”
“As expected, the Mage Tower is the Mage Tower.”
The three entered the room.
Befitting the Golden Magic Tower, who likes splendor, the room he was guided to was also as comfortable as a hotel.
Electric lights operated with magic power, water heaters that can heat water, magic stoves that warm up rooms without firewood, gramophones that play recorded music when you inject magic power, and so on.
“The food is also set on the table.”
“It’s nice not having to go to a restaurant.”
As with all mage towers, various magic tools were placed in the room for convenience.
“huh?”
“Eh?”
The problem is…
“There are only two beds.”
“I forgot that the dorms in the Magic Tower are for two people.”
“I will give you another room.”
There were three people, but there were only two beds.
If there was a sofa, I would sleep there, but sadly there is no sofa in this room, only 4 chairs.
“That means someone has to sleep on the floor.”
“I guess so.”
“Then we have no choice but to fight peacefully ‘with fists’.”
As soon as he said that, Alec put on half-gloves and Kang Seung-hyun took out a bunch of cheap knives.
“what? fight?”
“No matter how much I think about it, there seems to be no other way than ‘this’…”
“No, what are you fighting with?”
What kind of weapon did you bring out just to use a bed?
Kim Ho-jung stopped the two with a puzzled face.
“Both of you, just use the bed! I’ll sleep on the floor!”
It would be better to sleep on the bed if possible, but since he was a human who had no complaints even if he slept on the floor, Kim Ho-jung tried to end the fight by sacrificing himself.
“Kim hyung, there’s something I want to say.”
“huh?”
“I never said I would only sleep in ‘one bed’?”
Then Alec started screaming madly.
“what?”
“If someone has to give up the bed anyway… wouldn’t it be better to give it to one person? Rather than being sad alone, being sad together can form a consensus and it’s good.”
“what?”
“Therefore, I will sleep as a double with two beds attached.”
Now that three people are in a double room, a man who makes a vicious claim to occupy two beds at the cost of one person.
It was one of his co-workers.
“Oh, Cheolhyeon-ah…. Teacher Kang, tell me something.”
“I will also decline Kim Ho-jung’s offer.”
“what? why?”
Why do these people do this even if they offer to give up their bed?
Kim Ho-jung could not understand.
“Do you want to sleep in a double size too?”
“no.”
“then?”
“The heartwarming ending where Mr. Kim Ho-jeong concedes and the two of them use the bed amicably isn’t fun.”
Seunghyun Kang smiled and pointed to the floor.
“It’s a lot more fun when I take the bed and kick the losers to the floor.”
“No what no.”
An evil man who doesn’t necessarily want to use a bed, but just wants to see other people sleeping on the floor.
He was also one of his colleagues.
“Put up a tent on the floor and get ready.”
“Is the only bed for your brother to be on the floor or on that marble table?”
Thus, a meaningless personality battle between the two began.
Caang!
Kagagak!
Of course, if you use the skill, you will be kicked out, so with a flat hit.
“No, even if I give you a bed, what will you do if you fight with me…”
Kim Ho-jung sighed deeply.
It’s been a while since I’ve known both of them, but it’s Kim Ho-jung who still can’t follow the psychology of ‘those who enjoy’.
“Ahh… I’m going to wash myself.”
Kim Ho-jung gave up trying to stop the two of them and went into the bathroom.
In the bathroom, there was a horsepower water heater that could use hot water at any time.
“Good, good. I wanted to try something like this!”
These magical tools are also installed in the Crimson Mage Tower, but when they stopped by the Crimson Mage Tower, there was a kind of power outage…so Kim Ho-jung couldn’t use any of them.
‘Anyway, these are items that are hard to find in ordinary inns, and somehow remind me of the warm life of Korea.’
I don’t know what other people are like, but Kim Ho-jung, an ordinary Korean, missed the comfortable life in Korea rather than the insane other world Azul continent.
‘You won’t die from being hit by monsters on the road, you don’t have to boil hot water every time you want to use it, and you can take a taxi instead of a carriage for long distances…’ A
peaceful daily life where you lay on a hot electric blanket without thinking about anything.
‘There’s no such thing as an electric pad here, but it’s expensive and you can’t feel comfortable. There are reasons why I must go.’
“Double size bed!”
“If the bed is that good, get under the bed.”
“It was yesterday! But today I will sleep on the bed!”
‘Above all, things like that won’t happen if we go back to Earth…’
Caang! Kagagak!
Kim Ho-jeong turned on the water, trying to ignore the nonsense from outside.
Chaaaaaa!
“Whoa!!”
I thought warm water would pour out, but the reality was grim.
The cold cold water welcomed Kim Ho-jung.
“Why are you doing this again?”
“Is it because you don’t have towels? I will lend you my shirt.”
“That’s not it, there’s no hot water…”
Kim Ho-jung walked out into the living room.
It was like noodles soaked in cold water.
“The gear is out of order.”
“Oh no! It’s been like this since the beginning! Go check it out!”
Kang Seung-hyeon ignored it because it seemed to happen all the time and tried to fight Alec again, but Kim Ho-jung felt so unfair that he went into the bathroom.
‘hmm?’
When I checked the magic water heater with the [Observation Eye], I could see that the magical power was not connected.
‘Isn’t the connection lost?’
I checked the magic tools in the other rooms just in case, and they were all the same.
“Isn’t it my fault?”
“I’m not familiar with magic tools either, but they don’t seem to be broken.”
“thank god.”
“It’s a bit strange, though.”
The magic tools of the Mage Tower are basically connected to the center of magic power, so even people with low magic power or those with black magic can freely use them.
However, the magic tool here was not connected to the magic circuit, so it was a structure in which the person himself had to inject magic to use it.
“So… I have to use my magic to use this?”
“Yes.”
“Ugh.”
The problem is that Kim Ho-jung’s magical power is small and little.
The facilities and magic tools of the Mage Tower are basically made based on wizards, so commoners cannot even use them.
In addition, the miraculous dimension mover boasting 0 magic power is impossible to operate in the first place, and the magic tool will taste bad if you touch the black magician for no reason.
“As an analogy, it’s like putting a 110V plug into a 220V outlet and causing a catastrophe.”
“Then you mean that none of us can use magic tools?”
“That’s it.”
The moment Kang Seung-hyun finished speaking, the same sentence passed through the minds of the three of them.
‘Aren’t the Magic Tower guys trying to fuck us?’
Otherwise, there is no way to assign a guest to a room like this.
Even if you put a member of the Magic Tower in a room like this, you’re going to be called crazy.
“Is it time to use the secret secret of darkness that was sealed later?”
“Wait a minute! It could really be a mistake, so let’s ask for a room change.”
“Before that, let’s check the room next door.”
“why?”
In fact, when Kang Seung-hyeon used [Eye of Observation] earlier, he obtained a curious piece of information.
[Not connected to the magic circuit.]
[For quite a while.]
In other words, it didn’t mean that the circuit was suddenly disconnected just because Kang Seung-hyun and his party came.
‘To offer a broken room from the beginning… Due to the nature of the Magic Tower, there’s no way we’ll just leave a broken room.’
So the hypothesis came up.
‘Isn’t this magic tower all like this?’
If you want to use magic tools, use your own magic power.
Kang Seung-hyun headed to the next room to check it out.
smart smart
“who are you?”
The moment a wizard opened the door with a puzzled look on his face, Kang Seung-hyeon and his party rushed into the room.
“What are you all about?”
Instead of answering, Kang Seung-hyun held out a heavy bag of money.
“Think of it as a model house and enjoy it comfortably.”
The wizard in the next room obediently stepped aside.
“As expected, the magic key that can open all doors… It’s a free pass.”
“Sorcerers also like money.”
“Because wizards are people too.”
The three of them looked around the room next door.
The overall structure was the same as the room they are staying in now, except for the addition of various odds and ends.
“Suddenly, but did you stay in this room all along?”
“Yes yes. From the first time I entered the Magic Tower.”
The wizard nodded with a bewildered face.
[Observation Eye]
Immediately use the [Observation Eye] to examine the magic tool
. [It has not been connected to the magic circuit.]
[For quite a while.]
The same information message as the one he saw in the room he was staying in appeared.
‘I knew it.’
It was a system in which magic tools in the room of ordinary members could be used only when their own magic was consumed.
“It’s because the magic tools don’t work, but don’t the normal magic tower magic tools use the magic stored in the center of magic?”
“Oh, are you an outsider?”
“yes. You’ll know when you see it.”
“It’s because our Golden Magic Tower basically says, ‘Let the magic tools you use use your own magic power.’”
The wizard opened his mouth with a shy face.
In the past, the Golden Mage Tower had a very lack of magic power, so they temporarily implemented the ‘Magic Tools Self’ system, but that continues to this day and has hardened like a tradition.
“Well then, how do external guests use magic tools?”
Kim Ho-jung, who was next to him, opened his mouth hesitantly.
“If it was a room for outside guests, would you send a wizard to recharge the magical tools in advance?”
“….”
“{You’re doing such a nasty thing!}”
“{Hmmm, should I cut it up?}”
It was also true that he was deliberately fucked.
The three of them clicked their tongues as they recalled the real power of the Mage Tower.
“thank you for telling me.”
“no. I am.”
The wizard hugged the heavy bag of money with a smile.
“By the way, if you operate a magic tool with your personal magic, where do you use the magic stored in the center of magic?”
“That’s why it should be used for public facilities in the Magic Tower or magic circles that operate 24 hours a day, right? I don’t know the details either.”
The wizard said and closed the door.
After hearing the answer, Kang Seung-hyeon showed a face that he did not understand, but returned to his dorm without asking further questions.
“Hmm…”
“What’s wrong, sir?”
“Something is a little strange.”
As you can see just by looking at the Crimson Mage Tower, the magical power stored in the center of the Mage Tower can be used not only in magic circles and public facilities, but also in magic tools in individual rooms.
“If you accumulate too much mana, it can cause a mana explosion, so you always have to be careful about controlling the amount, but public facilities and magic circles alone can’t handle it.”
Even so, the fact that there is no big deal at the center of the magical power means that the accumulated magical power is being consumed somewhere.
“I need to dig a bit.”
There are two possibilities that can be considered.
The Golden Mage Tower is conducting secret research that requires a large amount of magic power, or someone is embezzling magic power.
