Episode 75. It’s just baseless (2)
Verification.
It was said grandiosely, but it was nothing special.
[The pentagram of impure knowledge].
Because it’s a devil’s item with that ability sealed.
It simply meant that I needed a cleanse.
In that sense, the effect of the item could not be immediately confirmed.
“There is a right time for everything.”
Purifying demonic items through [Exorcism].
It’s only possible if there is a demon to hunt.
Of course, there was a way to use the services of the Mage Tower.
That’s without spending a single penny with the authority of the chief.
but.
‘I don’t think it’s necessary.’
If you entrust your emotions, including purification, to the magic tower.
The magic tower also knows the existence of this item and its effect.
Do you know the effect through others?
That alone is a bit steamy.
What kind of beings are the magic towers?
A group that endlessly seeks knowledge.
Why, like the [Vampire Count’s Orb] obtained after defeating Count Ascura, he might ask for a rental.
Of course, even if you ask for it, I will refuse.
‘Above all, there was no loss when I purified.’
Yes, that was the most important reason.
The effect of the items of the devil purified through the [Exorcism] was exceptional.
From the mentioned [Vampire Count’s Orb].
Even the equipment you are currently wearing.
‘Of course, it’s not like I want to hunt demons.’
I know because I am a demon hunter.
The devil is a despicable tribe that hides more and more the more you try to find it.
when you forget again.
Because they were the ones who showed off their presence.
Then, the conclusion must have been reached.
It’s right to shut up and deal with what’s shut up first.
Of course, what happened here was a quest.
─The chief’s weight (repeat)▲
Proceed with the verification in the Topaz Hall. (Success)
●Proceed with regular conferences successfully. (in progress)….
It is to successfully conduct regular conferences.
Action required to do so?
Also, I knew it all too well.
“Reading is food for the mind.” It

only natural to hear the sound of turning the pages…

Regular meeting of the Magic Tower.
Ever since Arcana was a game.
It was a regular event.
Undoubtedly, there would have been no event that received as much global attention as this regular conference.
The reason, of course, was the heat.
“What kind of place is the Magic Tower? One of the best military groups on the Arcana continent. Aren’t those beings who build an ivory tower of knowledge because that’s not enough?”
“To be officially recognized by such a mage tower. What a great player Hoyeol Lee!”
“Where is that also commonly acknowledged? Not an apprentice, not an expert, not even a senior wizard! Recognized for the same status as the one and only chief wizard…”
So, the broadcasters in Korea started popping champagne early on. Because this was one of the materials with guaranteed ratings.
VBC.
A studio in the middle of recording.
Producer Hyun Yong-seok nodded with a satisfied expression.
“There is no other cheat key that has been as good as gukppong since the old days.”
“Is that kind of thing still working these days, senior? These days, young people are very frightened. They say they make a fuss about something that is nothing. Sometimes when I look at social media to see the reaction, there is a lot of chaos!”
“Tsk tsk. Gukppong is also the law of gukppong.”
It was.
To put it bluntly, this was a legitimate gukppong.
And that’s not just in Korea, but on a global scale.
It was not an exaggeration.
“look. It’s crazy even in Japan. Watching Lee Ho-yeol proves the excellence of East Asia. To say that Lee Ho-yeol played a big role for Hokkaido.”
“…wow. Is it real?”
“Everybody is honest with their bodies.”
Hyun Yong-seok was the same.
No, it was to the extent that I could feel the exhilaration beyond simply soup.
“To be honest, it was a bit like that. The Mage Tower’s attitude. Of course, it wouldn’t be something to say from the standpoint of having greatly benefited from the Mage Tower. Anyway, the Mage Tower obviously looked down on us, right?”
His high-handed attitude as his reputation.
Except for the fact that the portal was always open.
The Magic Tower hadn’t shown a cooperative attitude.
I never even showed my face properly.
If the Magic Tower had come out in a cooperative stance.
Could the real situation be a little better?
Even if that kind of criticism continued, there was no change in the Magic Tower.
Yes, to such a stiff magic tower.
Ho-yeol entered as if to show off.
That too, with a status equal to that of the chief mage.
“Does that alone make you feel like you’ve hit the magic tower?”
“Ah senior. What else?”
“It would be nice if you fed me another shot properly.”
“No matter how Ho-yeol is, that is impossible. senior.”
At Hyun Yong-seok’s words, the assistant director seemed to have a lot to say.
“How much do you think our Ho-yeol is eating? How thorny they must be in the eyes of those great noblemen! When I first changed my job, I showed how aware I was at every idea meeting…!”
“What did you do? don’t speak.”
“In words. He said he took a deep sigh at every meeting with his seniors. Anyway, I was the only one, so how much of a burden would that be? Arcana here and there. Even the so-called wizards of the Mage Tower are the only ones.”
“hmm. That makes sense. that.”
In any case, it was Ho-yeol who entered the Mage Tower after being recognized for his ability.
However, Hyeon Yong-seok was well aware that society does not work only with ability.
There’s nothing different about the Magic Tower.
So here, it was right to cheer rather than expect.
“Let’s watch though. If it’s Lee Ho-yeol, I don’t know.”
It was not only the mass media that paid attention to regular conferences.
player.
It was no exaggeration to say that the wizard-type class players risked their lives at this regular conference.
Players flocked to the Mage Tower one after another.
Their faces were full of sadness.
Of course, it was also because of the heat.
“I really shouldn’t sleep today.”
“That is basic. You have to try to understand with your head.”
“…but does that mean you work hard?”
Hoyeol’s achievement to enter the Mage Tower!
It was because it started from ‘the incident’ that happened at the last regular conference.
In the memories of the players who directly witnessed the incident.
Ho-yeol’s appearance was still clear.
“It’s scary to think about it again. really.”
“How did you think of tackling?”
“That’s also for the chief mage Marcelo…!”
The impact must have been so intense.
But who would have known?
I would have thought that that bold point was connected to the Mage Tower’s quest.
Because I watched the scene.
The players had no choice but to spleen.
“Honestly, can’t we do it too?”
“Does anyone remember Ambassador Lee Ho-yeol at that time?”
“What about exploration? I thought you said something Ha, my prick.”
Sigh for a while.
It was the moment the players took out invitations to the regular conference.
There was someone passing by them.
It was Jesse Heinness, wearing a big cone hat.
Gulp—
A moment of silence among the Mage class players.
Ho-yeol, who has already gone to a far higher place.
It would be impossible to see such passion as a competitor.
‘The thing that bothers me the most is Jesse.’
‘The biggest stumbling block to this conference.’
‘In terms of probability, Jesse Heinness is…’
Thanks to this, Jessie unintentionally became a competitor to everyone.
whether you know that fact or not.
The corners of Jessie’s lips were raised as high as they could.
“Hey are you smiling?”
“How come it feels like I’m seeing you for the first time? Is Jesse laughing?”
“…You’re prettier because you smile.”
“You madman. Wake. Are you a competitor?!”
Of course, no one could ask Jesse why.
Even if you have a ‘hat’.
The cone-shaped hat on top of Jessie’s head moved.
– Disciple, it’s nice to see you looking forward to the conference. It’s only now that you look like a wizard in your search for the truth. It’s worth the hard work you’ve been teaching all this time!
But silence—
an answer that never came back.
In the silence, the cone hat suddenly realized.
The cone-shaped hat shuddered more violently.
-…Student. You must be excited about the conference, right?
Maybe not?
please tell me something
However, despite the earnest plea, the disciple’s answer did not come back.
Tadadak.
Jesse, who was climbing the dizzying stairs of the Mage Tower, suddenly stopped.
Crystal Hall, where regular conferences are held.
Jesse took a small deep breath at the entrance.
‘…Why am I shaking!’
Yes, the thing to be nervous about was Ho-yeol.
different from other players.
It was because Jesse had felt the changed air beforehand as he went in and out of the Mage Tower.
Ho-yeol, who was in charge of pre-verification of regular conferences.
The atmosphere of the Mage Tower frozen thanks to such intense heat.
that he knew very well.
‘I’m sure everyone is watching.’
In particular, they were senior wizards who had their eyes on fire.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the school’s honor and position depended on the results of the regular conference.
It’s different from Ho-yeol’s proof of his ability.
that is a separate issue.
There was no way the senior mages would give Ho-yeol a friendly look.
“!”
as expected.
Upon entering the Crystal Hall, I saw senior wizards.
Counting the number, everyone attended.
‘Even Matisse?’
There was even a senior wizard, Matisse Dean Carr, a black magician who rarely attended conferences.
Certainly, a different air current was hovering around the Crystal Hall.
okay.
At this moment, the silence flowing through the crystal hall.
There were different thoughts going through them.
Someone burned a desire for a quest.
Someone had complaints about pre-validation.
Someone else was worried about Ho-yeol.
But those thoughts didn’t last long.
Soon the sound of shoes echoing in the hall.
It was declared as soon as Ho-yeol showed up.
“Sponsorship of regular academic conferences. Chief Magician Marcelo is absent from this regular conference due to attending the Round Table Conference. Therefore, according to the procedure.”
To the extent that someone’s concerns are colorless.
in a calm voice.
“I will be the organizer of this regular conference.”
*
Regular conference.
roundtable conference.
All of a sudden, two important events in the Magic Tower overlapped!
I don’t know who made the schedule.
Guess this was a real society.
Poems will not be enough. This?
‘Marcelo trusts me too much.’
To entrust me with the burden of a regular conference.
Marcelo showed no signs of concern.
No, I was rather happy.
– “Thanks to your help, I was able to attend the roundtable.”
What is a round table conference?
You mean leaving me to take care of the time until the regular conference?
I was puzzled at first, but
When I heard that, I nodded my head.
The chief mage who is said to be the real power of the Mage Tower.
It is said that Marcelo was the lowest position in the roundtable.
top lord.
Elder Wizard.
and Chief Wizard Marcelo.
Their meeting is a round table conference.
What kind of talk was specifically coming and going at the meeting.
It was unknown to me.
‘I don’t even know what he looks like. What.’
I had never met the elder mages, let alone the tower owner.
From the beginning, it seemed like they were the ones whose faces were hard to see.
Even among senior mages.
Those who faced the superiors were told that they could be counted on one hand.
In that sense, I’m looking forward to it a little bit.
– “I will definitely come with good news.”
Marcelo added so.
A meeting attended by high-ranking people.
If it’s good news among the agendas coming and going there…
‘A big one is coming.’
I don’t know what it is, but maybe I can do what I expect.
Of course, that was me, Lee Ho-yeol’s idle thoughts.
It was something that was never revealed on the outside.
“I tried various variations during the interference process…”
Thanks to that, I was concentrating on the conference.
I didn’t miss a single word of the expert mage who was presenting the research and listened to it.
As I said, the magic announced at the regular conference is a high-level yet new magic that has been verified once.
Because it could be helpful in many ways to me who had to use anything.
however.
That alone wasn’t enough.
Above all, I am carrying the weight of being the chief.
What is Chief?
The topmost position in a rank or position.
As long as you are in a position to lead others.
Pride cannot be satisfied with it.
…Damn Pride!
Thanks to that, I was reading all sorts of magic books until dawn.
to me like that
The research of a skilled mage could not be seen satisfactorily.
If this was Topaz Hall, they would have ruthlessly shouted rejection.
However, this is the Crystal Hall where regular conferences are held.
Because that’s not enough.
I became the organizer in accordance with the procedure on behalf of Marcelo.
therefore.
As a senior, I opened my mouth generously.
“Do you really think that is the best?”
“…!!!”
The problem was that it was my standard.
.
.
.
“Do you really think that is the best?”
“…!!!”
The words of Hoyeol that follow.
Senior mage Nasrou’s face gradually changed.
‘How dare you know anything about hallucination magic!’
Out of anger—
“… this can’t be.”
with astonishment-
