[ Episode 243. Proof of the tower]
When I arrived at the Salem lab, a girl with a dry impression that I haven’t seen in a long ti stared at .
It was awkward to pretend not to know, so I nodded lightly, and the other person soon looked away.
still the sa
“Now explain.”
When Salem asked to sit down and explain, I handed over the thesis I always carried with .
“I already have that. Rather than asking, how did you discover this?”
“It is a coincidence.”
“Isn’t that bastard’s coincidence only looking for you so that he doesn’t tire of it?”
Well, to be honest, I don’t have much to say.
Still, I was in a position where I needed help from him, so I hinted at it.
“Harmony that Salem is working on. It was derived from there.”
“I never gave you harmony. I wanted to let you know, but neither you nor I had ti for each other.”
“Why do you think I need Salem to tell you?”
When I smiled aningfully, a furrow dug between Salem’s brows.
“You naughty bastard.”
“I hear that often.”
“So, are you saying that the research on harmony was also conducted at the sa ti?”
“No, it is not. I only learned the concept of harmony, and I know very little.”
“You really are a stranger.”
Salem grumbled and accepted the thesis I handed over.
Didn’t you say you already had it?
While he was looking at the thesis, he looked at Noah.
She looked good to see if she was doing well, but she looked at as if she was looking at sothing, as if she felt my gaze.
“How is Noah?”
“Who am I? There are so achievents. But I’m getting more greedy there.”
“greed?”
“We are researching ways to use that instead of simply ending with treatnt. It’s a power to give up.”
Well, it was a good enough idea for Salem.
In this field, there is no one who can follow him except for Berial, so I will have to trust him and wait.
“I’m asking just in case, does Noah know?”
“of course. Rather, it’s just what you’re asking for. Unlike being blunt, his desire for strength was at the level of a madman.”
If Ivy knows, I’ll say it again.
“Oh, and I already told you my identity.”
“Haha, didn’t I tell you? I would have told you to hide it.”
“He just guessed this first. In the first place, the side effects of black magic are cured, so of course they would think that I am a black magician.”
Then Noah, who had been listening to our conversation, approached.
Then he still had a rotten look on his eyes and said to .
“I am different from my sister. My sister is weak-minded, so she’s just taking her guilt out on the black magician.”
“Are you saying you don’t care?”
“Not all warlocks are the sa warlocks.”
There was nothing to say about the words that were so common sense.
However, the majority of people in this land did not even know such common sense.
Maybe it’s because I’m not a citizen of the Empire. There seems to be no prejudice.
“It’s because of that that my sister is in the Empire in the first place.”
“that?”
“Hunting warlocks. It may be an act to alleviate the guilt, but it must be good enough to leave your sister alone. Anyway, in the Empire, if you catch a warlock, you can earn a bounty, so it must have been perfect for you.”
“well. If that’s the case, I’d rather work as a rcenary, why not be an academy assistant?”
“Because it’s not who knows everything about you. More than that, are you a black magician too?”
I laughed out loud at the question that naturally followed.
“It can’t be.”
“He’s not even a warlock, but he’s got that famous wanderer? Is that also the count of the Empire?”
“You seem to be late for being a count.”
“Can I treat you right now?”
“It’s done.”
Anyway, it feels like normal people are rare around .
Anyway, since Noah is there, let’s get to the main topic.
“How is it?”
“How is it? It’s just like what I read.”
“I’m saying this because Noah knows it anyway, but how about using my thesis for her treatnt?”
“…So you’re saying let’s try this origin of control?”
“That’s right. How is Noah?”
“I don’t mind as long as I can be strong.”
Noah had nothing to do anyway, so it didn’t matter, the important thing was Salem.
He was deep in thought at my words, then said:
“This is not sothing that can be done in a day or two. As far as I know, you should be entering the tower soon, right?”
“It’s nothing grand. It just instills so concepts.”
“You an just a little bit more?”
“yes. Control is always a supporting character, and harmony should be the main character.”
“okay. Seeing you speak confidently, you must have prepared sothing. It’s not even my body anyway.”
The person in question is right next to , so I want you to be careful with your words.
Still, as expected, Noah did not respond.
“I don’t have ti, so I’ll do it right away.”
“Let’s do it.”

The rest of the ti before entering the tower was spent doing research with Salem.
In my spare ti, I took care of the work of the estate and the work of the guild, and even practiced the sword with Vivian, but it was undeniable that most of the ti was devoted to research.
“Crazy.”
Salem, who was researching together, suddenly spat out nonsense.
“You an that?”
“I know.”
“Why are you doing that all of a sudden?”
“It’s just that I’m stumped. I never thought I would see this form of magic in my lifeti.”
The initial goal was to transplant the origins of control to Noah, but he needed a basic understanding of control.
Using him as an excuse, I taught Salem how to control and studied together. Thanks to him, I was able to extract his knowledge and set a specific course for my magic.
“Can you afford it?”
“I have to.”
“Because magic is still incomplete, there is no safety device. If you do, you, the caster, will dry up and die.”
Original magic created by .
I didn’t really hide it from Salem.
After all, Salem can only guess the principle, but he doesn’t know the formula or arrangent.
“I am confident.”
“I know you’re not an idiot. But I also know it’s reckless. I don’t know how they made magic that looked just like Ji and spread it.”
“Thank you for the complint.”
“complint? From my point of view, the mont you overuse that magic, you are already dead. Its power is ambiguous and it eats up only mana ignorantly.”
You worry a lot without answering.
Still, I didn’t feel bad.
I know what Salem is worried about, but there was no problem because it was a magic made with the belief in original sin and the effects of sins in the first place.
In addition, because of the characteristics of the bowl, it possessed so much mana that it was incomparable to the criminal, so it was a magic just for .
“Are you worried?”
“What are you saying grossly, you bastard?”
I laughed when I saw Salem talking in disgust.
I’ll have to tease you often.
“I will leave tomorrow.”
“In the end, this bastard only researched as best he could and didn’t help at all with treatnt.”
“I’ve done enough research on control, so if it’s Salem, I can use it.”
“It’s a matter of sincerity, man. Of course, I can do it alone, but the guy who said it first just left, so I just said it.”
“I am sorry about that. Please give Noah an apology instead.”
“No work. go away.”
That’s how I ca out of Salem’s lab and asked for my last sleep in Cromwell.
The preparation to enter the tower ends with this.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I did everything I could.
‘As expected this ti…….’
No one had seen the end of the tower, and even I, who had played dozens of hundreds of tis, was limited to the 59th floor.
But this ti, stronger than ever.
It was unstable, but there was an original magic.
There were also legendary and mythical undead, and even genius talent in swordsmanship, truly an all-ti high.
Just like the first complete conquest of the Tower of Modras that couldn’t be broken in the ga, this ti too…
“See the end.”

Capital Laudlen.
The city, now more active than ever, was always excited with a festive mood.
The annual event, ‘Proof of the Tower’, beca a kind of festival officially declared by the emperor, and was a day for everyone to eat and enjoy.
“I heard that Count Magner, who beca the owner of Borgien this ti, will also participate?”
“Because we give opportunities to all those who made the mark. Among those whose nas are known, there are few who have not entered the Tower.”
“Is Count Borgijen the problem now? This year’s Rodlen Academy graduates are the best ever lineup!”
People gathered at the bar chatted while enjoying the festive atmosphere.
The duration of the festival is 3 days in total.
The festival, which started the day before the tower opened, continued until the day the challengers entered the tower and the day after the tower was completely closed.
Thanks to the nature of the tower, which is only open on certain days, it was rather an anniversary.
“Are there three of the biggest prospects?”
“Diene Alven Adrias Cromwell and Vivian Velokan. They are all experienced winners and runners-up in tournants.”
“I bet Adrias Cromwell later! I’m going to pour all the money I made last year!”
“Since Diene Alven is also outstanding, the stakes must be high for this year’s gambling table.”
The festival had already started the day before.
Today is the day the tower finally opens.
The event, in which all the participants gathered at the central square and went to the imperial palace, was scheduled to begin soon after.
“By the way, what ti is it now?”
“Hey, let’s go ahead and get a seat before it’s too late!”
“It’s too late man! There were already so crazy guys who had been in place since the day before.”
“ha ha ha! that’s right! Let’s just watch from afar!”
In the middle of a noisy atmosphere, soone kicked open the door of the bar.
“The event has begun!”
“Oh oh! let’s go! let’s go!”
“Hey there! I have to do the math and go!”
The streets were full of people.
Commoners living in the capital, nobles who ca to Seoul for this festival, and rchants and touts targeting such people were mixed.
“The Duchess of Closch is here too. Look at the flag crest over there.”
“I don’t think he ca last year, but it’s a big deal. I heard that the dukes of Morheim and Alven are also coming, so it seems like all the dukes are gathering in the capital.”
“So who is Diane Alven and who is Adrias Cromwell? I can not see it well!”
“excuse ! It’s out there!”
The central square was surrounded by guards from the imperial palace.
It seed like an annual event, but since it was an open space, they were paying attention to security.
Soon after, the cheers of the people resounded and those who participated in the ‘Proof of the Tower’ appeared.
Most of them were academy students who were graduating this year, and so were people who received tickets to the tower as a reward from the imperial palace.
“Wow!”
“Is that Diene Alven? As expected, he is the son of a duke, so he is full of dignity!”
“So where is Adrias Cromwell, whom I bet on!”
“The winner of this gamble is Adrias Cromwell! you all know This ti, the magical world was in a frenzy because of Adrias Cromwell!”
Adrias Cromwell, who is especially often ntioned in popular eras, actually had wizards from other countries who ca to see him.
They were the ones who ca to see him directly because he was shutting himself up in Cromwell’s manor without receiving any contact.
“There! That is Adrias Cromwell!”
“what. You look weaker than you think.”
“If a wizard does that, then what do you expect? Wait and see, Adrias Cromwell will rise to the highest floor in this proof!”
“Move! Go to the tower!”
Sinclair Cloche, who was examining the participants amidst the clamor of people, asked the person next to her.
“We have high expectations for all of our participants. Who do you think will rise the highest, Princess?”
“well.”
A sword that does not match the long hair robe.
Upon receiving the question, Princess Michaela focused her gaze on only one person and answered.
“It’s probably hard for everyone to get high.”
“yes?”
After telling a aningful story, Michaela secretly glanced sideways at the other participants, not the alumni.
Coincidentally, they also made eye contact with Michaela and sent a silent signal.
“it’s nothing. Please forget what I said earlier.”
