Chapter 354. It’s downright condescending for a welcome greeting (2)
『Dalian of Proof』.
Even in the Magic Tower, only rumors abounded.
At this point, the most recent sparring of proof was the last time Senios and Karimzeba faced each other in the days of Master and Senior Mage, respectively.
Skilled wizard Linne chattered.
“Currently, the only person who actually witnessed it in the Mage Tower is Elder Yugweed! Maybe we’re the lucky ones Miss Jibril. To see such a precious sight.”
“well. I don’t think I’m lucky, Lynn.”
“yes? What do you mean…?”
“It means there aren’t enough seats.”
Sapphire Hall.
If the Crystal Hall was in charge of the big and small things of the Mage Tower.
The sapphire hall was a space that existed only for the sparring of proof.
Lynn replies as if she can’t agree.
“Not enough seats. It’s sad. This is the position I took after carefully reading the structure diagram of the Magic Tower. Even in the sapphire hall, it’s the front row seat, right? From here you can see everything at a glance! Look at Miss Jibril.”
Lynn was right.
It was difficult to find a better seat in the Sapphire Hall filled with wizards and players of the Mage Tower.
More than anything, if it’s a front seat like this.
“Couldn’t you confirm the reason for the sudden conflict between Elder Yugwid and Chief Lee Ho-yeol? At a distance like this, you can clearly hear what they are saying!”
As it doesn’t happen often.
Even the wizards of the Mage Tower were terrified at this demonstration of sparring.
Lynn couldn’t hide her flushed face.
“At first, I thought that Chief Lee Ho-yeol had applied for a couple of proofs without fail. Why, to be honest…. Aside from achievements, in terms of influence, isn’t Chief Lee inferior to the other two? What matters is your short career!”
However, if Ho-yeol wins the sparring of proof against Yugweed.
Ho-yeol proves his qualifications as an elder mage.
At the same time, Yugweed could not prove his qualifications as an elder.
It means that only flaws can be made up.
“But it was Elder Yugweed who actually proposed the proof sparring! No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand. It’s just that there was a conflict between the two of us that we can’t understand…”
Lynne was chattering without getting tired of it.
Jibril, who had been silently listening to the story, finally exploded.
pinch-!
“Eh?! If Miss Jibril suddenly tugs at your ears…!”
“This is why I said the seat was bad, Lynne.”
“What?”
“How can you be so light-hearted, Linne? Do you want to talk like that? There are so many outsiders around you who aren’t apprentice wizards?”
Again.
Only then did Rinne’s eyes roll.
“omg.”
Jibril was right.
There were outside adventurers gathered around Rinne. Those who won the right to vote in the next tower master election also attended the Dalian visit of Proof in that capacity.
Claire put the pinna of Lynn’s ear and said.
“This is not something to be happy about. Right Claire?”
nod
Claire replied with a nod of her head. Then he looked at the senior wizards across the street. Their expressions were no different from their own.
Claire guessed in her own way.
‘…Are there any conflicts on the Arcana Continent?’
Otherwise, I didn’t understand.
It’s a battle of proof.
Even if it was a friendly duel conducted under strict discipline.
Because the weight on it was never light.
Chief Wizard Marcelo.
He asked Bangrit next to him.
“Can I ask you one question, Senior Bangrit?”
“yes? Of course, Chief!”
“Has there ever been a conflict between two people I don’t know on the Arcana continent? Otherwise, the sparring of this proof…”
Of course, there was no law that it would not happen.
A time when he was dissatisfied with the elder mages of the past. Because I used to imagine going into a sparring match with them over and over again in my head.
however.
“It is too sudden.”
Immediately after returning to reality from the Arcana continent.
To think that he proposed a couple of proofs before the day had passed and gladly responded to such a sudden proposal. Marcelo felt uneasy, wondering if he had caused it.
Bangrit, who was recalling his memories, opened his mouth.
“Well…. There’s no particular conflict between the two of you…”
If it was a very serious situation, would even Banshee William, senior in flame magic, keep his mouth shut? It was none other than the players who were thrilled with the reaction of the wizards.
“How did we come to see this?”
“I was really glad I came to pick up my voting ticket as soon as I heard the news.”
“To be able to see it from so close.”
I was well aware that it was a light sparring level.
However, it is not the incident that excites the public.
It was the story behind that incident.
“Certainly there must be conflict, isn’t it? I’m not sure, but from the perspective of an elder mage, how mean would you look? A stone with a stone embedded in it that was rolled in with stupid words…”
Really, speculations that stretch without knowing the end.
“Shut up?”
Stopping the chatter of those players with threats.
It was the rock kid of the Shadow Mercenary Corps.
If it was the same as usual, would it go behind the scenes toward Commander-in-Chief Lee Ho-yeol?
It was not enough to be willing to acquiesce, so he would have stepped forward and participated. Even if you don’t know everything else, she quietly added that she didn’t like that overly flashy fashion.
“I’m not in the mood to talk right now.”
But right now, Rock Kid wasn’t in a good mood.
“This big thing should have been done before I bet!”
Marcelo will be the next top owner!
It was a lock kid who put all his fortune into the option.
But out of nowhere, the two of them are fighting for proof.
Whoever can see, isn’t it a picture where the winner of Dalian ends unification and gets a lot of votes?
Lockkid goes for it.
“shit! If I lose it this time, I can’t even drink alcohol at the bar… Kichi-ya, he gave me an advance payment without any conditions, but Wolf will not allow it…” He vents his anger for nothing
.
“So stop talking and watch, do you understand?”
“…”
Maybe it’s because the surroundings became quiet due to Lockkid’s bluff.
Tension seems to rise more and more.
Banshee, who had been keeping his mouth shut in the silence, opened his mouth.
“Good job. Muscle mass.”
Soon, on time.
Sapphire Hall.
“…come.”
The entrance doors in two directions facing each other open, revealing the protagonists of Dalian. approach each other They face each other in the center of the Sapphire Hall.
It was Yugweed who spoke first.
“Chief Lee extremely hates to miss the appointment time, so he entered the room exactly on time. How about this? Will you be able to satisfactorily engage in the proof match, Chief Lee?”
What he meant was simple.
because he is ready
It means that you, the chief, are also ready to face it with sincerity.
“also…!”
Is it because of the prestigious position?
Rinne, who had been listening to the whole conversation, was taken aback.
“Look at this, the atmosphere is unusual?”
But Jibril and Klee.
The two of them focus on Ho-yeol without answering or looking at Lin-ne. Depending on what kind of answer comes out of that mouth, you will know what the couplets in this proof mean.
Of course, this time it was even more than I imagined.
“Elder Yugweed wizard.”
“I’m listening, chief.”
“Do you think you can handle my sincerity?”
“…!!!”
*
Should I say it openly?
‘Please, just do it?’
When I first checked Yugweed’s letter, I thought I was right. I was a bit startled by the chilling words that even cold water has an up and down side, but it means that I realized the meaning behind it.
‘That’s what I want to do, the next top owner!’
I could assure Lee Ho-yeol.
If he took over the position of the next pagoda owner, he might really lose his head from overwork. Even now, the only time to rest during the day was to enjoy tea time.
‘…Well, I drink more tea than others.’
Still, the lack of personal time remains the same, right?
Moreover, from the moment the magic tower portal opens on the Arcana continent. My activity radius will also double. Of course, there will be more than double the things you need to pay attention to.
So Yugweed’s correspondence was a kind of salvation for me. But all of a sudden, you’re applying for 『Dalian of Proof』. Elder Yugweed Wizard…!
“Do you think you can handle my sincerity?”
Yugweed’s provocation.
I swallowed a sigh as I watched the snout of destruction that was snatched up and chattering. And he handed over the responsibility to Yugweed. No, do you still not know that temperament?
‘If I had just asked for it, I would have readily yielded.’
The heroine of the proof?!
『The feeling of humility did not exist in Grandfel. Proof of underestimation. Because the overestimation had to be made into reality.”
Grandfell welcomed it with open arms if it was proof.
Can you decline the offer?
Even if it was twisted, it was perfectly twisted.
So, I was the one who stood in the Sapphire Hall and faced Yugweed.
Ugweed laughed at my bold remark.
“Okay Chief Lee. I wanted that attitude.”
Then it releases magic power.
Hair fluttering under pressure.
It’s something I feel every time I face it… It was clear that wizards with senior rank in the Mage Tower and above reached a realm inaccessible to ordinary players.
‘How many magical stats are there?’
One of the leading magic families on the vast Arcana continent. A mage tower that only those with the most outstanding talent among the lineages of the magic robes can enter. Even in such a mage tower, there are mages who are at the top and above senior level.
If we compare their talents to players…
‘They must have a bunch of unique stats and unique skills.’
But wouldn’t it be strange for me to act harshly in front of him?
The one with unique stats and unique skills.
Because I was too
even.
‘Because if I add the halo of the Cloudy family, it’s not that bad.’
So, I slowly raised my mana.
[Horsepower: 727]
I have no choice but to fall behind in the absolute amount of horsepower.
It wouldn’t have been enough even if I put all my stat points into magic.
It was because he had invested points in strength, agility, and even luck to pioneer a method of raising demon hunters instead of wizards. However, I have unique skills that are more than enough to make up for the point loss.
[Concentration: 6]
From [Concentration], a variable stat.
[Transcendent: Your transcendent state is enough to be called a transcendent. – Current achievement: Circle (Increases all magic expression power by 1000%) / With the Sword of Pride (Currently liberated path: 1st path) / None / None…] The circle forcibly released through the elixir
.
Until [Blessing of the First World Tree].
So even if it was Yugweed, who could be said to be the strongest of the Mage Tower.
It means that you can’t overwhelm me by following the sparring rules of proof.
Because such an estimate came out.
I was the one who was confident even when I was trembling.
…But somehow, Yugweed’s momentum is unusual.
Kududeuk—!
The ground shakes as soon as it catches the sense of smell.
Like the crystal hall, it is a sapphire hall where special rules apply. Although this impact would not be transmitted to the nearby audience as well as the magic tower.
It was being conveyed intact to me facing it.
I could intuit
Yugweed that she is summoning a golem.
Yes.
The golem that brought the rampaging Yunaxus down to the Zero Mountains.
It was summoned in the Dalian of Proof.
This is a strict rule violation…!
‘Practical magic also manifests the highest level of magic?’
Even though it is called sparring of proof, sparring is just sparring. Even Senios and Karimzeba, who were fierce rivals, did not show enough magic to fight each other in sparring.
However, to manifest a golem from the beginning.
There’s no way Grandfell’s snout would sit idle.
“It seems that the resolution to violate the rules has also been completed.”
An arrogant tone of voice.
But does he even know that fact?
Yugweed answers.
“Sometimes even strict rules need to be broken. Of course I won’t force it. Because our chief cannot use discipline when it comes to discipline. By the way…”
Guuuuuung—!
magnificent resonant sound.
At the same time, the glowing golem’s magical heart.
Yugweed laughed as he climbed onto the palm of the golem before he knew it.
“Can you handle me without breaking the rules?”
Whoops-!
The golem lifts one leg.
Like he really wants to trample on me.
A huge shadow casts over your head.
At that point I was sure.
‘Yugwid had no intention of following the rules in the first place.’
And why did he break the rules, why was he acting like this, and if he simply wanted the position of the next tower owner, why didn’t he ask me?
Only then could I guess why.
‘…If my guess is correct.’
Yes, I could fit in as much as I could.
by the way.
It seems that you still don’t know the nature of Grandfel.
Rules or procedures.
Even if there was a point of dying soon for Granfell.
It’s something you must abide by!
Summon the highest level magic golem.
To stop the golem from leveling the ground.
He had to manifest the highest level of magic with power comparable to that.
But I didn’t cast any magic.
As you said.
In the couplets of proof.
Because the manifestation of magic of intermediate level or higher was not permitted.
“…!”
As the mana completely retracted, I felt the presence of the golem, which was fleeting but hesitant.
It wasn’t sincere, as I guessed.
Elder Yugweed Wizard.
But there is no need to revise that plan now.
I’ll get along with you in my own way too.
okay.
I will deal with you while obeying the rules.
“…That’s not sparring, but actual combat, isn’t it?”
“Anyway, why are you only watching Lee Ho-yeol?”
“Why aren’t you manifesting magic?!”
The audience is buzzing.
Are you going to deal with an elder mage who has manifested the highest level of magic without using any magical powers? Even to an outsider, that would be nonsense. However, there is me who has realized things that are far more absurd than that.
and.
Such a realized nonsense.
It is called like this.
[The legendary ‘Dark Dragon Lee Ho-yeol’ materializes.]
Flutter—!
“You’re overconfident, Elder Yugweed.”
Black wings spread with the momentum to completely cover the sapphire hall.
Yugweed let out a laugh.
“Haha. Heavier than a real dragon, this Chief…!”
Wings of the Dark Dragon.
Looking at the golem staggering at him.
I said to Yugweed.
“I believe you don’t want my sincerity just that much.”
“…!”
