Episode 24. (2)
Marcelo doubted his ears.
‘…a waste?’
The powerful chief wizard of the Mage Tower.
That position may never come easily.
It’s not a place you can keep.
ability, of course.
To keep the senior position.
It has to show continuous results.
‘Are you saying there is a problem with the search process?’
obviously.
Marcelo took great pride in his position as chief mage.
But what?
Are there any redundancies in the exploration process?
‘Even an adventurer…?’
Besides, it was an adventurer who had made such a point.
Even the senior mages who coveted the top position kept their mouths shut.
An adventurer ignorant of magic.
How could you ask such a question?
Crystal Hall.
“It happened.”
“With Marcelo’s personality, he will never sit still.”
“By the way, who is that guy? It’s the first time I’ve seen you…?”
It was only natural for the audience to roar.
It was like pouring cold water on a great presentation out of nowhere.
Soon Marcelo will explode.
When he turns into a venomous snake that spits vicious words regardless of senior skilled wizard…
“…Can you tell me why you thought that way?”
…Wait, what’s the answer?
The audience was agitated.
I thought it was bullshit.
I just thought it was a useless quibble.
Though I thought Marcelo would definitely explode.
To have such a reaction…
“…was it a valid question?”
A small voice suddenly came out.
Marcelo replied inwardly.
‘I have no choice but to admit it. There are superfluities.’
It was because of the gap.
A science completely different from magic.
By fusing the two concepts, a new magic was manifested.
The process was deeply inefficient.
Even with Marcel, he had been hanging on for several months to manifest this insignificant sphere of flame.
To be honest, Marcelo still couldn’t understand the question.
‘That’s an unavoidable limit.’
However, it is said that he is Marcelo with high pride.
He was always the mage of the Mage Tower.
Being criticized at the conference?
than that number.
It was said that the search for the essence of magic was the top priority.
That’s why I asked the man.
Marcelo’s question.
The attention of the audience was focused on the man.
The players who had been silently watching whispered.
“…Hey, wait, isn’t that Lee Ho-yeol?”
“Did you notice now? Is there any other concept with silver hair like that?”
“Did you see it? I said it was our department. But what kind of alchemist is this? Just looking at it, nobility oozes out of your body, just like our magician class…”
“Let’s keep some manners during the conference.”
etiquette.
Wasn’t that also in front of Ho-yeol?
At that sound, the players quickly shut up.
Of course, Jesse straightened his back, ignoring the words of the cone hat who had been talking to him since earlier.
It was a very polite posture with both hands gathered on the belly button.
pouring interest.
“…wow. I will have depression that I didn’t have before.”
“If it were me, I would stutter. really.”
“I just bit my tongue.”
In addition, those who gave unkind glances were all great wizards of the Mage Tower.
Even if it’s a law to shrink.
Hoyeol couldn’t find the ‘ㄱ’ of tension.
Hoyeol was still seated in the crystal chair.
There is no change in that upright posture.
Such Ho-yeol answered.
“I also experienced that gap. Marcelo Chief Mage.”
…Experienced?
No, the fact that he felt the gap before that.
How did you find out?
Confused Marcelo.
Words of consolation soon followed.
“But it’s okay.”
“…?”
Hwareuk—
Instantly, flames rose from Hoyeol’s palm.
The flame rotated and turned into a sphere of flame.
It looks just like Marcelo’s.
“…!!!”
The sight shocked the Crystal Hall.
Of course, the person involved, Ho-yeol, calmly finished his remarks.
“Use centrifugal force in the interference process. The process was immature, but the results weren’t bad. It was a great presentation. Marcelo Chief Mage.”
*
Hurreuk─
A sphere of flame that rotates on top of the palm.
I swallowed a sigh.
…You could have used it like this.
It was just ignition that I was reluctant to use because of its poor magical efficiency.
However, when the science of centrifugal force was added to the elementary school level, the magic efficiency increased significantly.
As you can see, I was able to keep the fire burning for a long time even with a small amount of horsepower!
‘As expected, I’m glad I came.’
It wasn’t just the flame sphere of the chief mage Marcelo.
All of the magic presented at the conference were amazing.
Of course, there were plenty of magic levels that couldn’t be manifested with my poor magical power.
‘Because I left everything in my head.’
I was convinced that if only magic power was supported, it would be able to manifest immediately.
In that sense.
In the end, I couldn’t help but praise it.
“It was a great presentation.”
More than anything, I felt a sense of camaraderie from Marcelo.
I too suffered from a sense of alienation.
Like science and magic.
Two completely different concepts.
To convert [skills] into [magic].
I still have vivid memories of staying up all night.
So, no matter how great the chief mage of the Mage Tower is, you must have suffered for a few days.
You can tell just by looking at that skin-and-bones face.
“Now, let’s take a break and resume the conference!”
Is it break time already?
I was still staring at the flame sphere in my palm.
‘Will this magical efficiency be maintained even when it is expressed to a greater extent?’
Then wouldn’t we have to fight a little less nasty?
That’s what I was thinking.
someone came up to me
Skeleton…
no, Marcelo was the chief wizard.
‘…What.’
I was startled inwardly.
It was because I was caring.
After all, I was just pointing out his findings.
It is also a great event called a regular conference.
“Do I have a business? Chief Mage Marcelo?”
Of course, even if I wanted to express it, I couldn’t.
this body.
How could the muzzle have become so arrogant?
However, what Marcelo said next was unexpected.
“Adventurer Lee Ho-yeol.”
Marcelo called me formally.
Then I politely asked.
“Can you join me in my research?”
At that moment, my vision flickered.
[Quest: Marcelo’s Study]
Marcelo, the chief wizard of the Wizard’s Tower.
In order for him to reach an advanced level of magic.
want to be with you
—Accept Marcelo’s proposal. (In progress)
…not enough magic, so even a quest?
I thought again.
It was also good that I attended the conference.

Yusra Islands.
in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
clear sky.
blue.
until the wind blows moderately.
That alone makes my heart flutter as if I came to a resort.
“Don’t you feel a bit like Arcana?”
“A time when I was full of dreams and hopes. I remember~”
“If I had known this, I would have brought a bikini.”
Island of legend.
The scenery of the Yusra Islands was also legendary.
Did I mention that each and every thing in the Yusra system is incomparable to that of the world?
Indeed, the natural scenery was more beautiful than any resort.
“You sound like a bikini. because it’s insane shut up.”
Of course, a berserker who knows nothing but fighting.
It was unreasonable to expect such emotions from Leonie.
On a sandy beach that shines brightly.
Leonie crouched on one leg and looked at the portal crookedly.
“There are so many. It’s real loader.”
players?
It is natural to run
Where are the Yusra Islands?
It was a treasure island that everyone had been looking for since the past when Arcana was just a game.
I’ll have to find out what the truth is.
It was not unusual for guild players of this size to flock to it just with anticipation.
“Yes, I am on Yusra Islands now.”
It was only natural for the reporters to film the Yusura Islands and the players.
“I didn’t expect that.”
But I thought even the NPCs would come in droves.
‘Should I call them Arcanas now?’
Anyway, even those summoned from Arcana flocked to the Yusra Islands.
Even if you’re not interested in monsters or rifts, you’re probably interested in treasure.
“Oh, it hurts my head.”
Another competitor added a truck…!
Leonie’s head was pounding.
Even if you look around, great NPCs come and go.
“To the Knights of Lionheart. To the Shadow Mercenaries. What? The Explorers’ League too? It’s just that everyone can’t be bothered if it’s a treasure.”
If you’re lucky out of misfortune.
The magicians of the Mage Tower were the same this time as well.
What kind of group is the Magic Tower?
A group where each wizard’s power is beyond imagination.
In the past, there was even a saying that when the mage tower moved, the order of Arcana would change.
The wizards of the Mage Tower only focus on research.
There was even a joke that it was for balance.
“Whoa—”
Besides, we can’t leave out the one-hundred-dollar monsters.
Above all, there was a high probability that Skal would appear in the Yusra Islands this time.
Rank 1 Skal.
his unreasonable strength.
Leonie knew him well as a fellow ranker.
‘…one more addition to Ascal.’
Until Lee Ho-yeol.
It’s hard.
Leonie let out another sigh.
“I still have to get something.”
Yes, you may not be the only one worrying about the competition.
around the portal.
I could tell by looking at the subtle air currents flowing between player guilds.
that each other is holding each other in check.
can’t get behind
“…Unnie, why do you open your eyes like that?”
“Those bastards look thick and twisted.”
“Maybe she was just staring at her because she’s cute?”
“Cute bitch.”
It was a moment when Leonie’s already crooked eyes were raised even more.
Wiing─
On the white wrist.
The smart watch vibrated.
Leonie connected the call.
“ok. Is the conference over already? Come right away?”
Guild Ranking.
20th, up one notch from 21st.
It was not unusual for the Berserker Guild to have guild members invited to the Mage Tower regular conference.
It was.
What was strange was what the guild members said.
“…what? Lee Ho-yeol picked the chief mage?!”
– Oh sister! Some real language refinement! I didn’t pick it, but it was intellectual.
“That’s it, Mr. Lee. so is it broken? Did you curse?”
No matter how good you are
You have to stretch out while looking at people.
The mage tower was also broken by the chief mage.
Leonie swallowed a giggle.
“I recognized him from the time he behaved meanly with food. I.”
…the back end is terrible, this sister.
It took a while for the guild members to stick out their tongues.
Leonie was shocked.
“What what?! Admit it? The chief mage of the Mage Tower?”
Those bastards accepted the point?
It was something completely unimaginable.
But the surprises are not over yet.
“That wasn’t enough, so you even got a Quest…?”
At that moment, Leonie imagined.
monster.
The monster was carrying the magic tower on its back.
Horrible imaginations appearing in the Yusra Islands…!
Burr—
Leonie felt chills.
It was not the time to be like this!
She quickly hung up the phone and said.
“We are going fast. Everyone get ready!”
And such hot news.
It wasn’t just Leonie.
“huh. I am listening.”
“…Lee Ho-yeol?”
“You were a wizard after all, that bastard.”
Likewise, the guild members who participated in the regular conference.
The expressions of those who received the breaking news from them began to change moment by moment.
“…what? Do you accept quests from the Mage Tower?”
“Aren’t you mistaken? Is this solid information!”
“You bow your head right in front of me? Does that make sense…?”
“Hyung… what should we do?”
Lee Ho-yeol from Seoul.
He’s in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
It was completely changing the atmosphere of the Yusra Islands.
*
Naturally, I accepted Marocello’s request.
[The conditions have been met.]
[Reward will be given.]
I don’t know what it was, but it was a quest.
A quest that no one can do even if they want to.
It’s also a chain quest!
Besides, I thought that the reward for the Mage Tower quest would be useful.
Because it would be beneficial if I could get even one item related to magic regeneration.
‘By the way…’
Where am I being taken now?
‘Where’s the reward again?’
I followed Marcelo to the upper floor of the Mage Tower.
It wasn’t unusual from that stairway.
Fluffy──
When I set foot in the air, the marble floating there was a structure that supported my feet.
What is a ride?
Wow, if it was like before, I wouldn’t have been able to take a single step.
really.
“Thank you again for your cooperation.”
Likewise, a wooden door floating in the air.
In front of that antique door.
Marcelo spoke to me.
“This is the laboratory that adventurer Lee Ho-yeol will use.”
Could this lab be the first reward of the quest?
Then Marcelo added to me.
“If there is anything you need for research, please tell me.”
…really unconventional treatment.
Dare to predict.
I guess I was the first player to be assigned a laboratory in the Mage Tower.
but casually.
I took the excessive treatment for granted.
I answered.
“Then request the supplies you need right now.”
on the desk.
He scribbled his pen on the parchment.

Very proudly.
