The Magic Tower
A tall tower that goes beyond your wildest imagination.
Without a single flaw in its color
That place broke all limits of his imagination.
Book 4-1.1
This place was not decorated like a fancy room, but the wooden desk, chair, and bookshelves full of books made the room seem better than it actually was.
But it was not like a scholar’s room where the books on the bookshelves were in a ss and the table was full of all sorts of mos and books related to those mos with all sorts of papers scattered on top of the desk.
On top of the desk was a single book and a piece of paper, and the books on the shelves were properly organized without a speck of dust that could be found. Should it be called the room of soone who is already all-knowing? The image gave off the personality of the person who used the room.
Then a boy, who was not wearing a luxurious outfit of a noble, but a majestic looking silk outfit with a clean design, ca into the room and sat on the chair.
Although this room seed too big to use on his own, this young man had restricted anybody else from entering this room. The only person allowed in the room other than him was the mute maid who was responsible for keeping the room clean. Nobody could go against his order.
There was only one person who could go against this young man’s order in this place.
“I greet my master.”
As soon as the young man sat down, a black-clad man entered the room and bowed in front of him before speaking in a quiet voice.
The young man did not even look at him, but asked while looking at the docunt on the table.
“Didn’t I ask you to please not call master? Please just call employer. That is more comfortable for .”
“......”
The black-clad man was quiet and did not say anything.
Even now, there were many nobles and kings who were trying to scout him. However, the master that he decided to follow had still not accepted him.
“How is it?”
As the young man asked, the black-clad man stopped his train of thought and quickly answered.
“They were extrely busy building the foundation.”
“Extrely busy...I can’t understand how Pareia managed to handle that much materials. I also don’t know where they would have hired so many workers. They shouldn’t have that many people available.”
The young man was ordering the black-clad man to investigate that information.
But the black-clad man had already worked with the young man for over ten years and had laid down roots in the Silence EMpire as well as throughout the entire Eastern Continent under the unbreakable trust of the young man.
“I have already researched all of that as well.”
The young man smiled at the black-clad man’s response. He was a person that was easy to work with, especially to handle things that cannot be leaked to others.
The black-clad man took a file out of his chest and put it on top of the young man’s desk before returning to his position.
“Hmm.”
Sothing caught the young man’s eyes as he read through the docunt the black-clad man provided him. He had seen a familiar na.
Edwin Papent.
A rchant from a slightly larger than mid-tier rchant guild who wanted to trade with the young man. He liked the man himself, but he sent him back because the guild was not the size that he was looking for.
‘Although Pareia does not have more than 1,000,000 in population, they are a strong warrior nation with close to 800,000 warriors. It should be difficult to provide materials to such a tribe, so how? Did I perhaps misread him? Did I mistake a frog to be a tadpole?’
The young man was thinking about that before shaking his head. He hated thinking or worrying about things that were already over. It was not his style to do so.
“Hmm.”
The young man let out a snort before starting to speak.
“So the rchant guild that was said to be crossing through the desert and making a lot of money was this person’s rchant guild. The rest of the business world was groaning about it......please investigate more about this person.”
“As you command.”
“I told you not to respond like that. I am just your employer. I would to like to be related in any other way. Furthermore, I will deposit the paynt for this like I have done in the past.”
“I understand.”
“Then I will be on my way now.”
The elf who had guided them said that before disappearing without even waiting for a response. Yulian and Aizen looked at each other before nodding their heads and started to walk to the entrance of the Magic Tower.
They saw a large iron door that seed to be at least five ters tall.
“How do we go in?”
“Should we knock on the door?”
While Yulian and Aizen were talking to each other, Hwai stepped forward and banged on the door with her small hands.
Bang. Bang.
She was still very mysterious. She just knocked a few tis with her child-like hands, but the noise was so loud they could hear it echo.
Aizen must already be used to it since he did not seem surprised at all. He was just waiting for a response from the Magic Tower.
“Huehuehue.”
They heard a weird laughing noise from inside the door before the large iron door started to open.
Once the door opened, a weak looking old woman who did not fit the image of large iron door, was waiting for them in the middle of the entrance.
The old woman had a mysterious smile toward Hwai as she started to speak.
“Hwai, the door is going to break.”
“You damned old hag. If you knew we were coming, you should have left the door open.”
Hwai’s tone was very rough.
While Yulian and Aizen, who were hearing their conversation, were started to get nervous, the old woman motioned with her hand to call the two of them over.
“All of the guests I have been waiting for have arrived.”
“Are you saying you were waiting for ?”
As Yulian asked in amazent, the old woman nodded her head.
“It was all expected. Is this our second ti eting, Aizen?”
“Yes, grandmother.”
The old woman looked at Aizen as she nodded her head.
“You’ve improved quite a bit. n really do need a sense of responsibility.”
“I do not have ti.”
As Aizen anxiously answered, the old woman put on another mysterious smile before responding to him.
“Alright, alright, head on in. You are prepared to solve the howork I gave you last ti, right?”
“Damn hag. Stop making him suffer and just hand it over. Don’t bother our Aizen.”
“Hwai, don’t do that.”
Aizen pulled Hwai toward him as he said that.
Yulian was confused while seeing that happen. It felt like Aizen and Hwai already knew the old woman, but there was sothing odd about the way they talked to each other.
“Okay okay, you two go up first. I have sothing to say to this young man with the ambitious na of Desert Conqueror and War God.”
“Aize, let’s go.”
At the old woman’s words, Hwai pulled Aizen forward and headed to the Magic Tower.
“Uh...uh......”
Aizen was looking at Yulian while debating what to do, but he was still being dragged by Hwai.
“You’re ant to see him again in the future, so head on up. Don’t you need to talk about Adelia?”
As the old woman saw how Aizen was acting and answered, Aizen’s gaze suddenly changed.
“Hyung-nim, then I will see you once things are resolved.”
“Sounds good, Aizen. I don’t know what is going on either......”
Once Yulian answered, Aizen headed into the entrance of the Magic Tower with Hwai.”
“You must be confused.”
As the old woman looked toward Yulian and said that, Yulian nodded his head.
“How did you know my na?”
“I would not be a master if I didn’t know the chosen ones. Huehue.”
Seeing Yulian even more confused as she continued to say things that he did not understand, the old woman continued to speak.
“Alright, let’s head up. Aizen needs to walk up due to his promise, but since you are a guest that we have invited, I need to be courteous.”
“You knew that I would co?”
“I even know your master old man Chun, so how would I not know about you?”
“You know my master?”
“Huehue. Didn’t he talk about ? About a monstrous old woman in the Magic Tower.”
“Ah!”
Yulian shouted as if he rembered. He recalled how his master talked about eting a old woman who might be as strong as him. He finally realized that this old woman was the one his master was talking about.
“Is my master here as well?”
