The people who came to Kang Seung-hyeon’s party
as if they were family were an old mage tower professor and an intermediate magician wearing a robe.
‘That guy is the wizard who healed me last time.’
The intermediate wizard behind the Mage Tower professor was the same patient who had removed the magic contamination using the [Absorption] skill a few days ago.
“It’s easy. Any problems after that?”
“Yes… thanks.”
The wizard politely bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.
After that, he slept soundly and ate full meals to recover his energy.
“I am this child’s teacher, Revenda.”
The wizard next to him then revealed his name.
Levenda, one of the Golden Mage Tower professors. I’m in charge of an intermediate mage.
“I came to say thank you so much for curing my disciple’s magic contamination.”
“Rather, it is me who wants to say thank you. Because of that, I was able to show off my ability to treat magical pollution.”
Kang Seung-hyun replied very brazenly.
Of course, for him, creating a mana-polluted patient is a piece of cake, but it is more impactful to treat an already existing patient than to create and treat a patient.
“My teacher Kang is really great. The agency will be opening soon, so send me a corolla and spread word of mouth!”
“It must be a wreath.”
“uh! yes that!”
Kim Ho-jeong approached with a triumphant face.
Seeing that, Levenda responded with a gentle smile.
“If I’m as talented as Kang Seung-hyun, patients will line up even if I don’t spread word of mouth.”
“Yes, but if the Mage Tower Wizard spreads word of mouth, one line will become two lines.”
“You are not wrong.”
If patients are going to stand in line anyway, two lines would be better than one.
“Oh, I have a question.”
“What is it?”
“Last time I saw him, it seemed that he had been affected by magic contamination for several days. I don’t know the exact date, but about a week?”
The time when magic contamination deteriorates into magic alteration is random, but it is basic for wizards to treat as quickly as possible in case of an unexpected situation.
“Ordinary wizards have to run to the Magic Association, so it will take some time, but the members of the Mage Tower will be able to save a priest healer by requesting to the Adventurer Guild as soon as the magical contamination begins.”
In addition, the Golden Mage Tower had a lot of connections with nobles, so it wasn’t impossible to trade with the Order using the nobles’ route (although it would break a lot of money).
This is the reason why the Adventurer’s Guild cannot stand on top of the Mage Tower even though it has the right to mediate with the Church.
“Then why were the members of the Mage Tower unable to receive treatment even though they were inside the Mage Tower?”
Even if the Golden Mage Tower becomes hostile to the entire Azul Continental Church, at least one person there will ignore the Church’s policy and cooperate secretly, blinded by money.
So, the fact that the magician was stuck in a state of magical contamination means that the magic tower intentionally neglected the patient.
“…”
“That’s…”
The person in question bowed her head and was silent.
“Shall I guess?”
Alec, who was eating ice cream behind him, laughed and joined the conversation.
“Didn’t that friend Lophemus take a picture?”
“How about that?”
“Wow, did you match?”
“This is basic. Because this is a detective.”
When Levenda and Kim Ho-jeong looked at each other in surprise, Alec brazenly made a noise.
“You don’t have to be a detective to guess that just now.”
Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth as if he was dumbfounded.
“That’s why even a fake detective like Alec was able to guess.”
“Because I’m a detective.”
“In the first place, the fact that wizards can’t receive the benefits they deserve from the Mage Tower means that someone interfered.”
If it was a normal mage tower, it would have invited the priest right away through the Magical Pollution Response Department, but not doing so means that the higher up blocked it.
“The only person worthy of such a thing is a member of the Lophemus family.”
As for the other mage towers, the golden mage tower is under the control of the Rophemus family.
“It is as you said.”
Levenda looked around lightly and sighed deeply.
“This child was not being treated because he was out of sight of Mr. Vice Master.”
Levenda asked several times to call the priest to treat the disciple’s magic contamination.
‘Because there is a waiting list…’
‘There is a problem with the document, so please review and resubmit it.’
‘It’s going to take a bit of time due to discussions with the church, but…’
However, the department rejected the request, making excuses for this reason.
“Meanwhile, time continued to pass.”
In the end, angry Levenda questioned one of the staff in the department, a wizard she knew well, but said,
‘I’m sorry I couldn’t help you. Actually… I got an order from the top to cancel all requests related to him.’
‘What?’
‘So it would be quicker to get a priest personally. Wherever you go, please never tell me. If I don’t, I’ll look down on them…’
He said he couldn’t help but be frustrated after hearing this answer.
In the Golden Mage Tower, the upper ranks would most likely be the Lofiarmus family.
“I tried to find a priest even at my own expense… but it wasn’t easy either.”
“I guess so. The church tends to reject members of the Mage Tower more than freelancers, even if they are wizards.”
“Perhaps that child has a strong constitution against magic contamination, so far he has been lucky, but if Kang Seung-hyun hadn’t visited, maybe…” The reason why
that wizard was healed was Kang Seung-hyun to Doradel.
It was because they requested
“bring patients to demonstrate their skills” .
Fortunately, there were no magically contaminated patients except for that wizard, and it was the master’s order, not anyone else’s, so the submasters couldn’t do anything about it.
“There was a story like that.”
Somehow, the situation was serious.
Seunghyun Kang glanced at the wizard.
The wizard muttered, wiping his tears with his sleeve.
“Thank you very much. How can I repay this grace…. If there is anything I can do to help, please tell me.”
“There is a line of people to repay me, so you can repay slowly.”
“yes?”
“I hear that a lot.”
Kang Seung-hyun was the type of person who didn’t care too much about the slow repayment of kindness.
If you pretend you don’t know, I’ll show you hell.
“Ayu, everyone must have suffered a lot.”
Kim Ho-jung looked back and forth between Revenda and the wizard with a sorry face.
“But what the hell happened? Did you make a big mistake?”
“That’s…. Among the students I teach, there is a child named ‘Raina Lophemus’.”
“Lina Lophemus?”
As you can tell just by looking at her name, she is a member of the Rophemus family, and she is not just a member, but the youngest daughter of Dail, the incumbent deputy master.
“There was an assignment presentation a month ago. At that time, Lady Raina made a big mistake and failed in magic, but Miss Arja, who was next to her at the time, succeeded so perfectly…” “
I hate it. Is this it?”
“That’s right.”
“For just that reason?”
Kim Ho-jeong, who was listening to the story, shouted as if it was absurd.
The reason why this sorceress was not cured was because of the ‘simply’ reason that the magic she had failed with succeeded next to her.
“I wasn’t harmed or gossiped about, but I was bullied so that my child wouldn’t be treated?”
“The world is wide and there are many people with bad personalities. If you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it.”
“Oh it’s okay! You don’t have to!”
Kim Ho-jeong desperately refused.
The fact that there are not only good people in the world is because what Kang Seung-hyun has shown so far has been enough.
“In the first place, when people bully someone, most of them give trivial reasons.”
For example, saying that he has something he wanted, that he is close to the person he likes, that he just looked at him, or that he said that if the other person looked straight ahead while bumping into him, this would not have happened. etc.
Even if it’s not on the Azul continent, it’s a common occurrence.
“Besides, those of high rank have high self-esteem in useless places.”
“Like Liwen.”
“That’s why I often find fault with trivial things.”
I would be ashamed of myself for making a mistake, but that guy was proudly successful and gave me a shame!
This is an insult to me!
I can’t forgive you! I will trample on you thoroughly!
“There is a 100% chance that this is the mindset.”
“Be precise.”
Arja nodded.
It’s a word I’ve never heard of.
“Anyway, you mean that the father of the child who bullied Arja was Dail, and you prevented him from being treated?”
“Yeah.
“As a healer, it’s something you can’t just ignore. I will cook it for you.”
“yes?”
“Because I am a person who values all my patients like family.”
Kang Seung-hyun spoke in a friendly and warm voice, but
“How can you lie so shamelessly…”
“It could be the truth. For example, do you have no family? Or enjoy the pain of your family.”
“I think he’s just looking around because he wants to bully the vice master.”
Colleagues did not believe a single gram.
“I’m saying this because everyone seems to misunderstand, but my purpose is to get information from the submaster.”
“By intimidation and torture?”
“yes.”
“Then you’re trying to bully me.”
“I won’t do any physical harm.”
“That scares me more.”
The submasters are already halfway out of their minds protecting their children, but you’re going to do something worse here?
At this point, I couldn’t even imagine what I was going to do.
“What the hell are you going to do…”
“Watch it.”
Kang Seung-hyun only smirked, but did not give an answer.
