61. Crimson Magic Tower 4
“What are you doing here?”
Seunghyun Kang looked at Shuire and asked. The person who said he would give up being an adventurer and study at the Magic Tower is wandering around without studying.
“Of course, I came to guide you to the Magic Tower.”
Shuire said with a confident face.
“There are many cases where outsiders get lost in the Mage Tower. It is such a complex place.”
As Shuire said, the inside of the magic tower was quite complicated. Professor Tansel drew a map, but the road was so complicated that it was not easy to get around.
“So leave the directions to me. Guided by an elite wizard of the Crimson Mage Tower…”
“I missed it when I saw that. I didn’t want to go to class, so I left.”
“You’d better contact Professor Tansel.”
“Did you get permission from the professor?”
Shuire grumbled and added.
“You saved my life, and if someone you know comes to the Magic Tower, it’s your duty to guide them.”
“just joke. Thank you for guiding me.”
Kang Seung-hyun said with a playful smile.
“By the way, what is that in your hand?”
“Oh, is this?”
Shuire was holding something like a paper bag in her arms. What was inside was colorful wool.
“It’s a magic carpet material. He asked me to deliver the goods as a condition of going to guide the two of you.”
“A magic carpet? Something flying through the sky?”
Kim Ho-jung thought of something like Aladdin.
“It’s not like that, but it’s a magic circle or a rug woven with spells inscribed on it.”
“that’s right. It’s because I made it so that it was cumbersome to draw the magic circle one by one.”
magic carpet.
An item that allows you to use magic simply by spreading the carpet without having to draw a magic circle every time. As precious as it is, it can only be obtained from the Mage Tower.
“I thought wizards would like drawing magic circles.”
“Wizards are people too. It’s annoying to draw the magic circle every time.”
In a word, an invention created by the laziness of wizards.
“Then give it to me… and guide me to the restaurant.”
“I think I’m going to die of hunger…”
“Then give it to me quickly and go eat. I will live!”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party followed Shuire to the magic weaving room.
-‘This is a magic weaving room… It looks like a curtain shop.’
True to its name, the magic weaving room, the room was filled with threads and fabrics.
“Professor Vitamani, I brought the ball of thread you asked for.”
“thank you.”
Shuire held out a paper bag to a man in the magic weaving room.
“Ah, that way…”
The man who found Kang Seung-hyun greeted him with a smile.
“A technique that encapsulates magic in cloth, not paper. My name is Vitamani, Professor of Weaving.”
“I am Healer Kang Seung-hyun. This is my colleague Kim Ho-jeong.”
“I heard a lot about it from Professor Tansel.”
Professor Vitamani was also an acquaintance of Professor Tansel.
‘How much did Professor Tansel talk about us?’
Seeing that every person he meets mentions Professor Tansel, he may be an insider beyond imagination.
“Do you have a favorite rug? There are many useful items that will help you on your adventure, and there are also rugs and handkerchiefs for real life.”
Unlike scrolls that disappear once used, cloth made with magic weaving can be used semi-permanently.
“However, it is difficult and difficult to make… It is difficult to mass-produce and complex magic circles like scrolls have the downside of being difficult to put into cloth.”
So, unlike scrolling, it was not popularized.
‘How many should I buy as a souvenir?’
Cloth made with magic weaving is an item that can only be obtained in the Mage Tower. Thanks to that, they are popular as souvenirs.
“They say that this rug gets warm when you inject magic into it.”
Kim Ho-jeong said while looking at the rugs on display.
It seems to be an Azul continental electric pad.
“Shall I buy one of these? It doesn’t have to be cold in the winter and it looks nice… But I also want a rug that cools down when you inject magic…”
While Kim Ho-jeong was looking at the rug, Kang Seung-hyun turned his eyes to another place.
‘huh?’
Then I found a rug on display in the back of the room.
Unlike the carpets I’ve seen so far, a very complicated looking magic circle was engraved on it.
“Shuire-san, what is that magic circle?”
“Ah, that’s a barrier magic circle for mental rest. It stabilizes the target’s mind and helps the body’s magic power rise…”
Simply put, it is a magic that increases the speed of magic recovery.
“is that so.”
It has nothing to do with people without magical powers.
Seunghyun Kang lost interest and tried to look away.
“Also, even if it doesn’t restore stamina, it slows down the rate at which stamina drops. It’s kind of like a safe zone.”
In fact, it is said that there is a record of a mortally wounded wizard holding out until the healer arrived in the magic circle.
“You say it slows down the speed at which your stamina drops?”
“As a bonus, the inside of the magic circle is always kept clean. It’s very comfortable when sleeping outdoors or something.”
“And to keep it clean?”
Seunghyun Kang’s gaze returned to the carpet.
‘Can I use this rug for therapy?’
Hygiene is very important in treatment.
A polluted environment aggravates wounds and hinders wound healing.
‘Until now, the situation was urgent, so I had no choice but to treat patients on the street…’
If you only get that rug, you can treat people in a safer and cleaner environment.
“Professor Vitamani, how much does that cost? I really want to buy it.”
“ah. It is not for sale.”
Professor Vitamani said with a very sorry face.
“That’s a memento given to a person who has made important achievements in the Mage Tower.”
The Barrier of Mental Rest is one of the highest-level magics with very complicated spells.
“It’s a magic that only a few people can activate even in the Mage Tower.”
Shuire quietly intervened. It’s a magic circle that’s difficult to just draw, so making it out of a carpet isn’t easy either.
“Since it is difficult to make, it is not something that is given to outsiders.”
“If it’s not for sale… I can’t help it.”
In terms of grade, it is said to be a rare item that is more than rare. Those who actually received the carpet were among the very few in the Mage Tower.
‘If you’re selling, you just have to save up money…’
I don’t think it’s going to be hard to get unless there’s something special going on.
Due to the nature of the Magic Tower, which prioritizes items over money, it will not sell even if it brings in billions of dollars.
“I’m getting hungry… Let’s go eat Mr. Kang.”
“I will guide you to a store I know well.”
“I see.”
Seunghyun Kang left with a sad face.
-The place I followed Shuire was the restaurant inside the magic tower. It was not too far from the magic weaving room.
“A restaurant is a restaurant….”
“Do we really have to eat at a place like this?”
However, it was more like a dessert cafe than a restaurant. The ceiling, the wallpaper, and the floor were all pink.
It’s a design Shuire would really like.
“why? It’s pretty and nice to look at. It’s better than the drab store and the food is really good.”
“They say it’s so delicious…”
Shuire ordered the recommended menu. I was worried about the design of the store, but the food was surprisingly good.
“It’s a bit sweet, but it’s worth eating.”
“Of course it’s food made with fresh ingredients cultivated in the Mage Tower.”
The mage tower uses mana and magic in all fields. From security and cleanliness research to basic living facilities.
Even when harvesting magic materials, magic is used.
“But if you put a lot of mana into it… isn’t it lacking in mana?”
Kim Ho-jung, who was eating food next to him, asked.
“If that’s the case, no problem. It has a horsepower power system.”
“system?”
horsepower power system.
It is a system that spreads a huge magic circle inside the tower to absorb the magical power of wizards and supply magic to all parts of the tower.
“The absorbed magic power is stored in the magic center in the basement of the Mage Tower. It connects the entire magic tower with magic at the center of magic and uses it whenever necessary.”
To sum it up, it is said that mana is collected little by little from the wizards, and the collected mana is used in each facility of the Mage Tower.
“Then I’ll grow herbs with magic.”
“yes. Here in the herb room.”
Shuire pointed to the map and said.
The herb growing room is a place where various herbs are produced using magic.
“Herbal growing room….”
“Temperature control and environment control… everything is possible.”
Thanks to that, most of them can be grown in the Mage Tower, except for very rare herbs.
“Then, we will also grow water herbs in the herb room.”
“Souyangcho is grown in area D of the herb growing room. If you install a magic circle, it will grow on its own.”
Thanks to the magic circle installed in the herb growing room, wizards were able to grow and harvest herbs without touching them.
“Then you’re saying people don’t interfere with the cultivation of herbs.”
“Yes. Wizards don’t have time to grow herbs. I am busy doing research.”
Seunghyun Kang thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Actually, this happened earlier.”
I explained to Shuire about the spice smoke incident at the potion shop.
– “Did something like that happen? But are you going to fix it again?”
Shuire shouted with a shocked face.
“What the hell is Healer Kang Seung-hyun unable to do?”
“It’s a heel…but that’s not important.”
How did the wizard get his hands on the scented candle? How did the potion shop come to sell scented candles?
For now, that was the most important thing.
“First of all, scented candles have the property of changing their properties when magical energy is injected.”
A scented candle that has changed its properties gives off a different scent.
“The problem is that scented candles are rather weak plants.”
If you inject too much mana into it, you won’t be able to withstand it and will wither or die. Like a flower whose roots rot and die from over-watering.
“Usually they wither or die, but sometimes unusual ones come out.”
A mutant scented candle that loses its scent as it is injected with a large amount of magic power.
This is called incense.
“To put it simply, it is a defective product.”
Shuire thought for a moment before opening her mouth.
“Usually, herbs are grown in the herb room or brought in from outside. However, all medicines and imported goods brought into the Mage Tower must go through inspections.”
A scented candle with the property of melting mana.
If you’re sane, there’s no way you’d put grass like this into the mage tower.
“Then the only answer is the herb growing room.”
Kang Seung-hyun came to a conclusion.
If it’s not something that came in from outside, it’s something that was made inside.
“But the herb growing room is operated by activating the magic circle. There’s no way a defective product will come out…”
Thoughtfully, Shuire’s complexion turned bad.
“It’s not possible, but if there’s a problem with the magic circle… a defective product may come out.”
“You’ll find out more when you go to the herb growing room.”
We don’t know the exact reason, but it’s clear that there’s something wrong with the herb growing room.
“Then I will ask the professor. It’s not a place where you can go without permission… I haven’t been there yet either.”
Shuire immediately contacted Professor Tansel.
-=I heard about the commotion at the potion shop.=
“You knew.”
=But if it has something to do with the herb growing room… I guess I have no choice but to investigate.=
Professor Tansel thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
=I want to go directly, but I can’t move because of the damn meeting.=
Professor Tansel was communicating with Shuire through communication magic.
It’s a situation where you can’t move because of the meeting.
=Honestly, if you were alone, you would never have sent it. I left it to the others. However, since Healer Kang Seung-Hyun said that he would accompany him… he gave permission. =
He does not act alone.
If you are in danger, return immediately.
Under these two conditions, he obtained permission to enter the Mage’s Tower’s Herb Growing Room.
Kang Seung-hyun and his party arrived at the herb growing room.
“This is the herb growing room.”
Normally, people do not go in and out, so it is tightly closed.
Pot-!
When I took the key I received, the locking magic on the door was temporarily released.
“Let’s go in.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party entered the cultivation room.
And the moment I entered the cultivation room,
“What is this? Is that a herb?”
“I don’t know what it is…”
[Summons Pria’s crossbow.]
I had no choice but to hold the weapon in my hand.
“It doesn’t look safe.”
