Episode 1130. You will need to be prepared to so extent.
There are thirteen magic schools in the Londinium Empire.
The most famous among them is the Hertica Parabahad Tabula School, and people called their magic tower the Three Magic Towers.
Except for the Three Great Schools, the rest of the schools were barely maintaining their lives.
This is the result of aspiring wizards being cornered into the Three Great Schools after the Imperial War.
The reason why aspiring wizards flocked to the Three Great Schools is simple.
It was because the Three Great Schools were unrivaled in ‘Divine Magic’, ‘Elental Magic’ and ‘Alchemy’.
For example, the ‘Hertica School’ taught divine magic only to the people of the Mana Phras Church. As a result, there was no competition with other schools.
The ‘Parabahad school’ trained battle wizards under the full support of the imperial family. It was also the magician of the Parabahad School who played the most active part in the Imperial War.
The ‘Tabula School’ – unlike the Parabahad School, which sided with the imperial family – joined hands with the great nobility. With the support of the great nobility, they produced a magic gun magic gun golem with alchemy (magic engineering).
That doesn’t an the other schools of magic didn’t do anything.
They too belatedly clung to combat magic and magic engineering.
However, the gap between the three major schools of magic and other schools of magic widened day by day.
In the case of the Abraxas School in the northern part of the system, they recently jumped into magic engineering, but the financial situation of the Mage Tower was deteriorating.
Abraxas Mage Tower 1st floor.
Clara, the guide of the Mage Tower, brought Elmare, the second-in-command of the Mage Tower and the creator of the artifact, the 5th-circle Mage Crag, in order to appraise the artifact containing magical power.
Crack Elmare’s gaze quickly scanned the young knight.
Judging from the sll of the forest coming from the young man’s whole body, he is a spiritual practitioner.
It was only that the aura was so deep that it seed to sll like a great grove.
‘That’s not normal.’
Crack Elmare opened his mouth after roughly guessing the opponent’s information.
“I am Mage Crag Elmare, the creator of the artifact. What should I call you?”
“I am Viscount Elio Lagoa.”
Crack Elmare nodded with a nonchalant face.
Considering the depth of his spirituality, such a title was not surprising.
“I have so knowledge of the Viscount of the Empire… Are you from the Kingdom?”
“I was given a title in the Escatos Kingdom.”
“It was too. I heard you have a special artifact.”
Elio took out the crystal necklace he had put in his bosom and put it on the table.
“It is an artifact nad Tracer. I heard that it translates the language of the demons…”
Of course, I used it, but Elio said, ‘I heard it’.
It was because I didn’t want to bring out the things I had done in Tamion.
Crack Elmare, like Clara, was startled by the magic flowing from the black crystal.
But like a 5th circle mage, he imdiately picked up the necklace.
Subsequently, exclamation flowed from his mouth as he observed the necklace with the 4th circle magic ‘Eye of Truth’.
“ah! An ancient overlapping magic circle!”
After staring at it for a while, Crack Elmare took his eyes off the necklace.
The hazy eyes seem to have been quite impressed.
Then, coming to his senses, he said.
“If the interpretation is limited to the demon language, the performance of the artifact can be said to be interdiate. However, the ancient nesting magic circle is a precious treasure in itself. We’d like to buy it… but honestly, I’m not sure if Kyung can hit the price he wants.”
Clara didn’t make a sound and just watched from the sidelines.
This is because the decision to learn magic from the mages is not the place to intervene.
Craig Elmare returned the necklace to its original place with a sad face.
“I told the person next to earlier, but I didn’t necessarily have the intention of selling it.”
Crack Elmare looked at Clara, wondering what this was all about.
“He ca because he wanted to et the Tower Lord. You said you could make a deal because the guards wouldn’t let you in.”
“aha.”
After thinking for a while, Crack Elmare spoke to Viscount Elio Lagoa.
“How about this? I will let you et the tower lord, so please rent this necklace to our mage tower for ten days. If the necklace is damaged during the rental period, we will compensate you with a reasonable amount.”
“great.”
Elio readily accepted his offer.
I wonder what kind of windfall this is for a necklace that I will never use again anyway.
Like a wizard, Crack Elmare ticulously drew up two rental contracts on the spot.
***
The top floor of Abraxas Magic Tower.
Top lord’s office.
Two n sat across from each other at a round table.
Balter Odd, the 5th circle mage who is currently the lord of Elio and Abraxas’ mage tower.
After the brief introduction, Walter Oud smiled and said.
“So why did you ask to et ?”
Because the opponent was the sa viscount, Walter Ord used the Hao body.
“I want to ask about perforation.”
“Are you referring to the abode of Kama Devias, the sun god?”
“Yes, everyone I et says, ‘Go to the Mage Tower to find the Celestial Star’?”
“Hmm! I’ve heard rumors like that too… I don’t know which mage tower you’re talking about, but I don’t know. The pagoda owners I know are probably similar to .”
“You an you don’t know where it is?”
“exactly.”
“Should I et all the other tower owners?”
“If the rumors are true, then so be it. But why are you looking for the Celestial Star?”
“Personally, I have business to et with Kama Debias.”
When he said it was personal, Walter Oud didn’t ask any more.
When Viscount Elio Lagoa seed disappointed, he said:
“I even rented an artifact, but I’m sorry I couldn’t be of any help. It’s okay to call it a minister, but I’ll let you et the pagoda owners in the northern part of the system.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“There are 5 mage towers in the northern part of the system. There is a regular eting of the tower owners in the Buk-gu area next month. We will send you an invitation once the location, date and ti have been decided. Where are you staying?”
“It is in Estella, Fermosa.”
“ah! If it were there, the cost of lodging would not be cheap. Do you have a lot of money? Do you have a manor?”
“I am the lord of Slash Land, but soone else is paying for this trip.”
“Then I guess you don’t have to worry about it. Got it. When a specific date is set, I will send an invitation there.”
“yes.”
“So of the pagoda owners have eccentric personalities… so you will need to be prepared to so degree.”
“What do you an by resolution?”
“Even if the other person acts a little excessively, it is said to endure it. Still, the inviter has his face, so I won’t cross the line.”
“I will be careful.”
“I spit while lying down, but there are so many strange people among wizards. hum hum!”
“I see what you an. Those who regret it have to bear it.”
Elio really intended to please the magicians if he could.
said Walter Oud, who nodded with a satisfied face.
“By the way, if you’re from the Kingdom of Escatos, do you know a little about Hirhera?”
“yes. I am acquainted with the lord there, Count Codrantes.”
“oh! Did you really pierce the Creator’s Scutum shield?”
“Rather than a hole, it split open on both sides. In the North, they call it a rift. It is so big that monsters and monsters co and go in groups.”
“They say they defeated the invasion of the demon legion. Is that true?”
“It is true. There have been many victims.”
“Have you ever been in Hirhera, too?”
Walter Orde, Viscount Helio Lagoa spoke so realistically that I took a peek at it.
“yes.”
“iced coffee! For so reason, I didn’t want to talk about it like it was soone else’s business.”
Elio asked this ti.
“The Empire’s magic corps and combat divisions also ca to support… but you don’t seem to know more about what happened in Hirhera than you think?”
“Imperial people are not interested in the northern part of the continent… but the imperial palace intentionally blocks information from Hirhera.”
“The imperial palace blocked it? Shouldn’t we rather spread the word and prepare for it?”
“There are things that the northern kingdoms did well against the invasion of the demons, but the situation in the south is worse than that. Now, if Hirhera’s affairs are revealed, all troops in the south should be returned to the north… but I don’t want to do that.”
“So you’re blocking news from the North to keep troops stationed in the South?”
“exactly.”
Elio didn’t ask why.
Rather, I wondered, ‘How does the top owner know the situation in the south?’
“By the way, the tower lord is a mage, so you know the Imperial Army well, right?”
“It’s because our Mage Tower also dispatches battle mages to the army. Compared to the Three Great Magic Towers, it’s new blood… but I can still see the imperial army’s movent.”
“ah! That’s right.”
Elio shook his head.
I didn’t know that the Mage Tower would dispatch battle mages to the Imperial Army.
Duke of Magus Killian Hale of the Corvo Magic Corps hadn’t told that either.
I thought the Mage Tower was only a group of magicians, but it was surprising to have such a relationship with the imperial palace.
‘Because the northern kingdoms protect Hirhera well, they didn’t step out of the south.’
Or, perhaps, he was more interested in the artifacts of the Abyss than the invasion of the demons.
Human greed is so pathetic.
If he hadn’t actively intervened, the empire would have been devastated by now.
‘Tsk tsk! They don’t know that destruction has been averted, and they’re keeping their eyes on the South.’
The conversation ended abruptly.
Tower owner didn’t ask more about the north, and Elio didn’t ask about the situation in the south.
***
Fermosa Estella.
After leaving the Magic Tower, Elio returned to Estella in Fermosa around sunset.
Fabian, who had been out of the restaurant early, spotted him and waved.
Elio slumped down in the seat across from Fabian.
“Did things go wrong? Doesn’t your expression look like zero?”
“It wasn’t bad, and it wasn’t good either. To put it in a pinch, do you still see hope?”
“What did you say at the Mage Tower?”
“I t the tower owner, but he said he didn’t know anything about Celestiality. Instead, I decided to invite you to the eting of the Mage Tower Lord in the Buk-gu area next month.”
“You an wait a month?”
“yes.”
“Would you like to visit the Mage Tower just like today?”
“Hey, don’t talk. You can’t even go in if you have an appointnt or don’t have anything to trade.”
“How did you get in today?”
“I barely got in with the excuse of trading a necklace I got from the Buraqui tribe.”
“Can’t you use that necklace to enter other magic towers as well?”
“I decided to lend it to Abraxas Magic Tower for ten days and t the owner of the tower. You have to wait at least ten days to get it back.”
“Wow! I heard that wizards never do anything to lose, is that true? I’ll just let you et, on what condition?”
“Yes.”
Elio belatedly regretted that he had done sothing wrong. If he hadn’t rented the necklace, he could have visited another mage tower with it.
“Don’t beat yourself up too much. I’m sure the other Mage Towers also asked to borrow necklaces. It takes at least 50 days to see them all. It would be better to et in one place next month.”
“yes? Co to think of it, it is. After all, we need to hear the opinions of many people.”
“By the way, the security isn’t a joke, is it? I need to spend at least 10 silver a day… in a month… Huh! 300 silver?”
“…”
A bitter smile appeared on Elio’s face.
It was because his entire wealth was around 300 silver.
Just in ti, Count Larva Omar appeared, drenched in sweat. It seems that he ca from training in swordsmanship at an independent training center.
Unlike usual, Elio’s hips trembled, probably because the money talk was over.
