Chapter 89

The process of Hector taking control of the Mage Tower was so easy.

As with all groups in the world, the conflict in the Tower of Thunder was particularly severe. It was because the method of making the brain scar was too harsh.

However, it was a tradition passed down from the first owner of the Mage Tower. In a way, it was only natural to rebel against conventional magicians who did not want to change it and did not even have the idea to change it.

Nevertheless, the reason why there has been no excessive resistance so far is because the practice is actually effective.

At that time, if I could tell the dissatisfied wizards how to become stronger more easily.

If you secretly handed over the refined bloodstone powder, like a drug to a magician, in secret.

With that alone, it was easy to incite the fools.

The back is simple.

Look at the timing and subdue all the old wizards.

Unlike the younger generation, where most of them are mage-level, the majority of the elderly are high-mage level. The difference in power was obvious, but it didn’t matter.

[Thunderbolt Heaven Master smiles with satisfaction.]

The bloodstone containing the master’s power allowed him to easily overcome that gap.

Thanks to this, the support of young wizards for Hector was overwhelming.

He, who was only a mage-level until recently, overwhelms the high mage just by taking the medicine Hector gave him.

The result was enough to create an illusion close to faith.

The last remaining obstacle was Claude, the master-level mage, the Master of the Magic Tower.

“It seems that even the master did not notice the betrayal of the disciple he loved.”

He did not notice his disciple’s betrayal.

“… … Since when?”

“yes? what did you say?”

Hector asked in a rather playful way at the muttering of his master.

Claude opened his mouth again without the energy to get angry at that attitude.

“Since when did you defect?”

“It’s a betrayal… … . To tell you the truth, I am not a traitor. Because he was a member of the Dark Magic Tower from the beginning.”

“From the beginning?”

“I mean from the moment I was picked up by Master.”

Claude’s eyebrows twitched.

20 years ago. When I picked up Hector, who was still around 10 years old at the time.

I remember a delicate child trembling in the cold snow. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him and brought him to the tower. I also remember that Master, who was still alive, expressed his displeasure, asking why he had picked up a beggar.

“The constitution befitting my brain, which Master praised so much, is actually nothing more than the received strength that you hate so much.”

I was very happy to see a child accepting brain power at a young age.

It’s not just because of being able to raise talented students, but the fact that this child can get the strength to go through the world alone.

But all lies.

A lie just to get your own eyes. false talent.

“It couldn’t have been so funny when he sometimes raved about warlocks. Without even noticing that they were right next to each other, pooh! He was very good with words.”

“why… … .”

“yes?”

“Why did you reveal your identity? If I had waited a few more years, I would have been able to get this magic tower without anyone being noticed.”

“Eating the magic tower is not my goal. Do you know the habits of cuckoos?”

“… … Do you mean takran?”

“you’re right. To me, this mage tower was just a nest for my growth. That’s why I chose the Thunder Demon Tower, which resembles my master’s power.”

And over 20 years I learned everything.

As a talented disciple of Topju, he grew up receiving all kinds of love and sincerity. There was not much to gain from this place anymore.

“In the midst of that, a mission flew in from the tower, and we decided to set up our nest right now. Oh, the tower I just talked about is not here, but the Dark Magic Tower.”

“I have nothing more to gain… … . You are arrogant.”

“I am just stating the truth. Because I have already surpassed Master.”

Hector pointed his finger at Claude’s chest. The one with the black jewel sword embedded in it, sending all of Claude’s brain energy to the wall.

It was a sign of his victory.

“Anyway, I’m glad you still have it corrected. I’m thinking about whether I should use it as a hand or not, because things outside are unusual right now. Then come back later.”

Hector is gone. His footsteps echoed in the cell.

Claude let out a low sigh as if to erase the sound.

“My disciple. I’ve been talking so much, but it seems you haven’t learned everything yet. That power without exploration is only half worth… … .”

Dismissed! Paperweight!

The jeweled sword embedded in his chest continued to spark. But it didn’t budge.

Knowing it was useless, he continued to fire the lightning.

Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times more.

And finally.

crackle… … support position… … .

change appeared. The jewel sword itself was fine. However, a small spark began to form something in front of Claude.

It was just blurry, like a bad connection, but something clearly appeared.

“Darkhan… … Let’s write the request we promised in the past now… … .”

Darkan. As a colleague of the first tower owner, he contributed a lot to building the Thunder Demon Tower.

Even now, after all these years, the spirit of lightning remains asleep in the basement of this tower in honor of the first owner.

It was a legend, no, one of the history of the pagoda that was handed down by word of mouth only to the pagoda owner.

“Tell me my story outside.”

Claude spoke to the blurry figure.

* * *

“Didn’t the thieves show up again?”

– No, not yet. Merchants also started coming in safely.

“How is the magic table?”

– They say they know nothing. At first glance, it doesn’t seem like he’s lying. I’m not sure, but… … .

Inside the barracks surrounding the magic tower. Xian was exchanging information with Chesha in the lord castle through the communication port.

Although Hector is very suspicious, his connection with the Dark Magic Tower has not yet been clearly shown. Therefore, a close connection with Yeongju Castle was essential.

“Did you ask Azlet? Where did the top owner go?”

– They don’t even know that. Oh, but he said that. Of course, if it was something that would get you out of the territory, you would have heard it in your own ears, but there was no such thing.

“Did you say Azlet and Topju were equally distributed?”

-yes. He said he was a rival, but from other wizards, he was between an honor student and an inferior student in later years.

No matter what the relationship between the two is, it doesn’t seem to be a lie to say that the top lord is contacted whenever there is something to leave the territory.

It would not be a lie to say that there was no such contact this time. Because there’s no reason to lie.

“It must be one of the two.”

-One of the two?

“Either he left the territory for reasons unknown to others after informing only his disciples, or he suffered an accident.”

– What are you going to do?

“Wait a little longer. You keep checking to see if anything is coming from the Head of Household.”

-yes.

pop.

After that, the communication channel was cut off.

Xian walked out of the barracks and walked out.

I saw several bonfires and the soldiers’ barracks spread out around them.

Under the starry night sky.

It was already late at night, so everyone except those standing guard were asleep.

‘It will take a few days.’

Looking at Captain Mask’s work, it’s clear that they were secretly working on the Thunder Demon Tower.

But what is the reason for doing this to the point of revealing it?

Does that mean that the things the family robbed are precious?

‘The more important it is, the more nervous they’ll be.’

This one will have to wait. Until something takes action on the other side.

And the moment the other side moves, this side has no choice but to win unconditionally.

It is impossible to deal with all the enlisted soldiers in the territory, even if it is the 5th Mage Tower.

At that time, something strange was reflected in Xi’an’s eyes while looking at the stars.

Flickering flickering weak light seen through the twinkling starlight.

The light that flew across the sky came over Xian’s head and stopped.

Then.

“you. I can smell that guy. Are you nearby?」

Didn’t the light come down in front of Xi’an and start talking to him?

Xian opened her eyes wide.

He felt a very familiar energy.

It was the energy of the spirit.

“What are you? Are you that guy?”

“It is called Darkan. By that guy, I mean the bird head that lights the tail feathers and walks around. Are you an acquaintance of that guy?”

Xian opened her eyes wide.

Darkan. I have heard of that name.

There was a similar legend in the Tower of Thunder Magic, just as there is a legend of the Blazing Firebird divine beast in the Tower of Flame Magic.

A wolf that walks through the sky and swallows thunderclouds with its mouth open.

It wasn’t that the shape of the glowing light didn’t look like a wolf at all.

Then, the bird’s head that carries a fire on its tail feathers… … .

“You mean this?”

Xian took out a firebird feather from his bosom and showed it.

Since I found out that this is Altima’s feather, the mysteriousness has decreased a lot, but it still has the energy of the spirit, so I carried it around because I wanted to carry it with me.

“That guy’s feathers are right. Come to think of it, you, apart from him, smell of spirits. I can believe you.”

Darkan nodded and looked into Xian’s eyes.

dismissal.

Even for a moment, the group of lights that formed him became stronger.

It’s as if he’s trying to gather all the strength he doesn’t have for just one word.

“Save the descendants of my best friend.”

He bowed his head towards Xian.

* * *

The night was deep in the morning.

Xian summoned Wilfried and the knights to the barracks.

As soon as their movement seemed to begin, the young wizards who were sitting in the Mage Tower hurriedly stood up and tension began to rise.

“Are we having a strategy meeting?”

“well. Wouldn’t the idiot be smoking at least because he wants to go back?”

“You idiot, if you were going to do that, would you have surrounded it in the first place?”

Although they were talking casually, they could not hide the tension in their words.

“Don’t worry. I won’t force them into this tower until they take the damage.”

“Hector!”

“why? Wouldn’t they also hate wasting time?”

“There is such a thing.”

The young wizards do not know that the Dark Magic Tower is involved in this matter, or that their sacred object is coming to this territory.

In the first place, they don’t even know the existence of the Dark Magic Tower.

That’s why he doesn’t know that Hector’s side will be at a disadvantage if the confrontation is prolonged.

On the other hand, you know better than that.

‘Otherwise, what happened so far cannot be explained.’

Guys will want to pass the time outside. He must be isolating himself in this tower and holding out until the gods arrive.

‘Sian Agrid!’

Hector gnashed his teeth. I heard that he is a fool with no countermeasures, but he is only giving out exactly what he hates.

Thanks to that, it was a troublesome situation in many ways.

‘What should I do… … .’

he started to worry

But around that time, Xian came out of the barracks and started moving.

“Huh?”

“Are you coming this way?”

“But why are you here alone?”

Xian approached the front gate of the Magic Tower.

Then, standing in front of him, he looked at the young wizards watching through the window and talked.

“Open the door.”

Laughter spread among the wizards at Xian’s words. what? Did you know that if I told you to open it, you would open it? What are you measuring as the lord’s son?

“If you don’t open it gently, I’ll break it in.”

What he said next was more speculative.

He is also a young boy who knows nothing. The main gate of the Magic Tower, no, not just the main gate, but all the entrances are layered with defensive magic accumulated over generations.

Outwardly, there was only one gate, but its defense was comparable to that of a huge castle gate.

“young master! I’ll ask the manager of the tower if it’s okay to open it, so please wait! But don’t even think about forcing it open! I’ll have to bring some chugcha!”

He pretended to answer Xian’s words, but in reality, they were ridiculing.

Unable to laugh openly, young wizards fell from the windows and giggled.

Meanwhile, Xian was moving.

He took out a black orb from his bosom and infused it with mana.

Strange patterns were drawn on the surface of the beads, and they slowly began to glow.

For a moment, Hector’s face, which had been quietly watching the situation, turned blue.

“Get down!”

“huh?”

“what’s the matter?”

Hector forcibly dragged his colleagues who were dumbfounded and unable to grasp the situation.

Outside, it was just after Xian threw a glowing orb through the front door.

Depth charge containing his flames, received from Yeomno the other day.

widely.

Red flames began to rise from the black sphere that hit the front door of the tower with a flash like the sun.

Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-!

An explosion resounded throughout the village.
