Chapter 520 Master of the Magic Tower
It’s been a long time since I entered the empire, but there was no special inspiration.
The places where people live are all similar…
“How come the collapsed Mage Tower is like this even when it comes out in the sun?”
“It is difficult to change long-held customs overnight. There is also a subant.”
“I’m sorry about that.”
The place he moved along with Shile was one of the shelters of the collapsed Mage Tower.
Most of the normal mage towers are in the form of a huge building with a commercial district at the center, but this one was a little different.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary village. There weren’t any tall buildings that stood out, and there wasn’t anything special about it.
It was just a form of wizards entering the building to do research or sleep.
The bed was changed from time to time, and most of the important data was carried by the individual, so it was pretty good in terms of security, but… “
But, anyway, buy some new furniture.”
“Is it still worth using?”
Seeing a cushion with obvious stitches or a chair with an iron plate added to it made me vomit.
I can’t help it. Because it is a place that moves to confront the demons, the financial situation is not so good.
The human realm has been greatly reduced and the economy has been greatly weakened.
I sipped the tea he served me while leaning against the creaky chair
.
The fact that it tastes cheap is unmatched.
“Keep on saying what you said. All-out war with the demons? Has Herelda seen a decent future?”
“One of the top secrets. I saw the dimensional rift open. I’m using all the available personnel to find the location mentioned in the foreknowledge. The candidate map has already been narrowed down.”
What a strange coincidence. I came here because of that problem.
It wasn’t much of a problem so far, but the door to the dimension was open. It’s unstable, so I don’t know when or how it will open.
If there’s anything good about it.
“The key is to find them before the demons. I know someone who might be able to help. say hello What’s your name, POW 1?”
“Eup!”
I undid the gag of the black magician who had been bound.
A brief interrogation has been completed before coming here.
“Please save me. I have already told you everything I know!”
“That’s something I don’t know. do you know There might be something I forgot to say for a while, right?”
“How vicious!”
Shouldn’t a warlock say that?
anyway.
“You must have heard the rough story. I stopped them from trying to summon the demon lord. It’s not completely blocked, so I’ll have to check. The important thing is that they don’t even know the location of the rift that the demon king Day Bond will fall over.”
“We just need to get there faster than they do and close the rift.”
“After confirming that the demon king can’t come over, let’s wipe out the demons and black magicians, that’s it. It’s obvious they’ll move with Day Bond, so they’ll go around together.”
“answer. It’s because the words are good.”
“And I mean.”
Took.
I pushed POW #1 lying on the floor with my foot.
“They said they didn’t know the location of the rift, but it wasn’t like they didn’t know at all. Dimensional rifts are not something that can happen anywhere, so certain conditions are required. This friend knows all about that.”
There was a reason why it was so difficult to bring him here.
I don’t know the exact location, but I know the environment where it can appear. Especially since this guy was the one who was involved in making the magic circle that called Daybond himself, he must know better.
Herelda’s Prophecy. An investigation team from the Empire and Church. Up to the black magician Poro No. 1.
At this level, it was not unreasonable to find the location before the group of warlocks.
He poked his head out at POW 1.
“Again, we could be good friends. As long as you pinpoint the location.”
“This profit!”
From what I’ve heard, there is a place where Magi gathers and there is a specific pattern, but this guy has to confirm it himself because it’s a very sensual part.
Leave this guy to Shile.
“Did you two have something to say?”
“To be precise, I will give you the Magic Tower, not me.”
At my words, Shile threw her eyes to the side.
“It seemed like the owner of the Magic Tower wanted to see it. I heard that the contract is about to end. Maybe it has something to do with it.”
At Shile’s words, Pavant nodded slightly.
“Looks like you want to get rid of me. If the existence of me is known now, it will be a headache in many ways. When the contract is over, we can attack each other, so I guess this is the time.”
“I didn’t say anything like that, so I recommend not making any assumptions. Anyway, we’ve been mutually amicable for a long time, haven’t we?”
“Reciprocity. I do not deny it.”
“The last information is said to be handed over directly by the Master of the Magic Tower. If you are going to run away, run away now.”
Shile hinted.
I don’t know what the exact relationship between the collapsed magic tower and Pavant is, but it doesn’t seem like a good relationship.
“Let it go.”
-Pavant
, who put down the teacup, snapped his fingers, and POW 1 collapsed on the floor. Did you faint? The magic of the demons is also considerable.
While he was appropriately tied up and imprisoned, Pavant, who had adjusted his clothes, stepped out of the room.
He called Shile to follow him.
“What do you mean by information? Is it true that you are trying to dispose of the subant?”
“I don’t know exactly. That he had the information he wanted, and the owner of the mage tower knew that information. I heard that’s the condition of maintaining the contract, hmm.”
Shile, who frowned for a moment, glanced at the door through which Pavant left.
“It would be right to deal with it. I’ve already learned enough ways to deal with demons and warlocks, and Pavants are dangerous demons in many ways.”
“I haven’t seen you for a long time, but he hasn’t acted particularly strangely.”
“I can’t trust you because of what you did in the past.”
It was a long time ago.
It is also connected to the incident where the magic tower to which Shile belongs came to be called the collapsed magic tower.
To briefly summarize, this was not the first time the demons had invaded, and for some reason, the Pavant betrayed the demons and made a deal with the collapsed magic tower, and somehow managed to drive the demons out.
The problem is that there are countless people who died at the hands of Pavant until then.
Immediately, demons infiltrating each kingdom and causing internal strife was the strategy of the 7th Corps, to which Pavant belonged. The one who was at the forefront was Pavant.
In other words…
‘It’s not like I cooperated with the collapsed Mage Tower because I had affection for people or a relationship.’
business relationship.
nothing more, nothing less. When the contract is over, it is possible to suddenly change and join the side of the demons.
Whatever the reason, trust was lost in that he betrayed once. Even if that was 500 years ago.
‘I’m worried.’
Whether to let Pavant die or to use it in some other way.
I’ve only recently met him, so if he’s a threat, I’m willing to take the initiative to get rid of him.
“let’s go. I’m curious too. A person called the master of the magic tower.”
Let’s watch it for a moment.
Come to think of it, I have never met the Master of the Magic Tower.
It was only natural that he had rarely been active within the Empire.
* * *
The fallen mage tower.
Unlike mages, who generally use towers high in the sky as their bases, their towers are connected underground.
Thanks to this, it had the advantage of being unable to recognize which building was the core when viewed from the outside, and if there is another advantage…
“The atmosphere is bloody at once.”
“There are quite a few people who have a grudge against the demons.”
As it is an enclosed space, it is extremely difficult for the object that has entered the interior to escape.
It wouldn’t be strange if he openly glared at Pavant, even if he started a fight right away. Just because they’re demons? Or did any of your ancestors die to the Pavant?
Maybe it’s because I’m an outsider, so I don’t know, but I think being so wary is out of bounds.
What should I say?
‘I think I sprinkled some ground rice.’
Like spreading malicious rumors after hearing that the sub was coming up, or instigating by revealing the atrocities of the past.
It’s guesswork anyway. Maybe it’s simply because he’s a demon, so he doesn’t like it.
-Knock Tok
“I’ll go in.”
how far did you go down Shile knocked on the large door at the end of the hallway and opened it.
A place full of fresh air despite being underground. An old man with deep wrinkles was sitting in it.
There are clear burn marks on the head. The corners of the eyes drooped, but the eyes that were raised upward were terrifyingly clear.
“Thank you for coming. You worked hard, Shile.”
“you’re welcome.”
“That is Evileye. It’s the first time I’ve seen it in person.”
“Because I had nothing to do.”
Shile slaps his arm, but he ignores it. I don’t belong to the collapsed magic tower, do I need to adjust?
The other side doesn’t seem to care too much.
“Pavant.”
“Long time no see. I was a kid when I first saw you.”
“You look the same as back then. Even demons stay too young for a long time.”
“That’s because he belonged to the 7th Corps.”
“I guess so. hmm.”
Did you say that the 7th Corps is good at camouflage?
It might be as easy as changing the face. It doesn’t mean that demons don’t age.
Wait a minute…..
‘The front and back don’t match.’
If you are so good at changing your appearance that you can keep your appearance for 500 years, why didn’t you change your appearance until you got here?
Aren’t horns and vertically slit pupils interchangeable?
That’s more like a transformation than a disguise, but he’s also a magician. The corps commander, who was said to have been his superior right away, was active while changing his appearance regardless of race, and Pavant said that he had more skills than a corps commander.
Did you intentionally not change it?
“It’s been a long time. The fact that you were together with the collapsed magic tower.”
“I’ve rarely seen one, but I mean.”
“It’s because we can’t be close, isn’t it?”
At his words, Pavant sighed.
“Give me the price.”
“You get right to the point. good. We don’t want to talk at length.”
The mage master takes out an envelope from his bosom.
When I flicked my hand lightly, it flew through the air and fell in front of the sub.
“This is the end of the contract.”
“Do you have any plans to extend it?”
“Don’t say anything you don’t mean.”
“It’s too bad.”
[The collapsed Mage Tower and Pavant’s contract has ended!]
[Pavant has faithfully fulfilled the terms of the contract.]
[The Collapsed Mage Tower has handed over all the information it knows to Pavant.]
[No one will be punished.]
[ The contract is completely annihilated!] -The
sound of something breaking was heard along with the message
“Pasasasak” .
Although it was only for a moment, the light from the hearts of the Magic Tower Lord and the Pavant shone, and it soon faded away, which meant that the link of the contract was completely severed.
“Aren’t you going to check it out?”
The Mage Master, who had been silent for a moment, opened his mouth.
“Isn’t this the information you wanted so much? The location of the commander of the 7th corps, which I wanted so much, is there.”
Commander of the 7th Corps.
Was it true that the corps commander had a grudge?
“It’s none of your business.”
Pavant, whose face was crumpled, spat out nervously.
“It’s too bad. I could see something interesting.”
The master of the Magic Tower stands up from his seat. A huge presence felt at the same time.
You can feel the presence outside the door. It must have been the wizards of the Mage Tower.
“As expected, I didn’t intend to send it off nicely.”
Pavant shook his head and stretched his arms.
Wasn’t it self-defeating?
-Suaaaaa!
Powerful demonic energy that had never been shown before erupted.
It’s so violent and fierce that it’s questionable how it was able to hide it until now. Shile also covered his face with his arm from the fragments of magic that poured like blades.
-Quaaaaaaang!
At the same time, the door was broken down and the wizards rushed in.
A magic circle that sparkles everywhere. A subvant that raises demonic energy as if exploding.
and.
-Pu-wook
The timing when everyone’s eyes are on the subant.
I stabbed the sword into the master of the mage’s body.
