Chapter 93

After the incident, Xi’an led his soldiers back to Yeongju Castle.

and after a few days.

After recovering to some extent, Claude led the wizards and visited the castle himself.

As the representative of the absent lord, and as the person who solved the case, Xian greeted them.

“Thank you very much. The tower survived thanks to Confucius.”

Claude bowed his head without hesitation and expressed his gratitude. Even the wizards in the back.

Most of them looked at Xian with an unfamiliar expression.

‘I thought I’d get help from the lord’s castle.’

‘That’s also that crazy… … .’

‘I still remember making a fuss in the tower when I was young, but you’ve grown more dignified than I thought.’

Not a few of them knew Xian’s past, the original Xian’s.

Rumors, of course, have been heard from Azlet, and there are not a few cases where we have encountered each other in person. At that time, there was a word that circulated among the wizards of the Mage Tower.

The next lord said there was no countermeasure.

But now that I see it, isn’t it a complete misjudgment?

“In return for this job, I prepared a few, albeit small, items. I’m sorry I can only give you this right now… … .”

When Claude beckoned, some of the wizards unpacked their belongings.

The most notable thing is the chest containing gold coins. In addition, there were dozens of artifacts, expensive fabrics, and high-quality iron ingots.

Even the knights standing in the back glistened as they watched the raining goods.

However, Xian’s eyes remained calm.

‘If it’s the patriarch’s disposition, I might give some of them to me.’

Xian hung the scales in his heart for a moment.

If you receive this, perhaps some of it will be bestowed upon you. Gold coins, as well as a few usable artifacts, were not too bad as a reward.

but.

“All right. If you can afford this, work on rebuilding the tower. That’s for Yeongji.”

Xian refused.

Claude and the other wizards blinked as if they hadn’t thought of refusing.

“If you say that, we’re grateful, but… … still get it Aren’t you in debt too big to just go over it with a few words of gratitude?”

Claude spoke cautiously. But, of course, Xian didn’t just refuse to let go.

I intend to receive what is right for me.

“it’s okay. If it bothers you that much, please help me a lot in the future.”

“In the future?”

“yes. In the future.”

“Huh.”

The wizards groaned quietly. Xi’an’s words had only one meaning to them.

It means ‘I want to continue a good relationship even after I become a lord’.

Claude responded cheerfully.

“Good. I will swear on mana that I will maintain a good relationship with Confucius, at least while I am the head of the tower. Oh, of course, if Confucius were to persecute us, that would be a different story.”

“Enough.”

Oath to Mana. It was not a binding oath, such as losing mana if not kept.

However, it was a phrase with a symbolic meaning to the wizard.

It was the same as saying that I would risk all the honor I had accumulated.

Claude and the other wizards thought of the current conversation as signing a new alliance contract with the Thunder Demon Tower and the next lord.

In reality, the Xian in front of them was someone who could never become a lord.

‘It’s not really like a fraudulent contract. I took the territory troops, but I was the one who actually caught Hector.’

He hid the fact that he couldn’t become a lord, but it was Xian himself who saved the tower from Hector’s hands, not Youngji’s forces.

In that sense, it’s not so conscience-stricken.

“hahahaha, this is good. I was worried that the successor would look down on our Thunder Demon Tower because of this.”

“You man, what kind of person would Confucius Xian be? I haven’t seen such a dignified young man in a while. If our young ones were even half as similar to Confucius, this wouldn’t have happened… … .”

“They say the training is too harsh… … . Let’s see if we can improve it a bit.”

“Well, go back to the tower and think about it. Isn’t this the place to talk with Confucius?”

The wizards with satisfied expressions and the conversation with Xian continued after that.

It wasn’t that there was anything particularly important about it. Just a few conversations where we paint each other’s faces, and we talk about the handling of the incident or about the relationship between Yeongji and the Mage’s Tower.

After the meeting, the wizards began to leave the lord’s castle.

All the other wizards went out the door, and lastly, Claude stayed for a while and looked back at Xian.

“Confucius. What will Hector do?”

“Once locked up. Gathering information through interrogation… … .”

“Pick up?”

Xian replied.

“If possible, I will try to recruit him to become one of our people.”

“What? What does that mean? There’s no way you can talk to black magicians, right?”

“it’s okay. If the conversation doesn’t work, I’m going to wear a slave necklace.”

In fact, the necklace has already been filled. The shackles of the hell world are much more certain than those made by clumsy wizards.

“Huh… … Well, I’m not in a position to say what Confucius should do, but… … . Always be careful though. When you need it, just slap your head!”

Claude asked again with eyes like cold steel.

Although he has been taking care of him as a disciple for 20 years, his heart has already left in the past few months.

In fact, it was because Hector was said to have been a spy from the start.

If there was a story in the middle that led to the betrayal, Claude would have thought a lot, but he didn’t.

From the first time we met, a false relationship that already wore a mask.

Claude wasn’t the kind of guy who was obsessed with things like that forever.

That’s why I was able to rise to the high position of the tower owner of the 5 magic towers.

“I will keep that in mind.”

Xian smiled faintly in response to his request.

* * *

In the deep basement of the lord’s castle, there is a prison where criminals are confined.

Beriam, who had been caught earlier, was also imprisoned here – and his beard and beard were almost in a state of trouble – besides, there were not a few people who were imprisoned for committing large and small sins in the territory.

Xian headed to one of them.

I told the guard who was watching the front to go out and went into the prison cell where ‘the prisoner’ was contained.

“He said he’d give you a tour of the ground! He said he would do it!”

As soon as I entered, I heard a whining sound through the bars.

There was a thunderbolt celestial body, tightly bound and held in chains.

“It’s different from the promise! You only have to protect it! But why are you imprisoning me!”

“Wait a minute, Hector. And it’s too loud.”

“Kuh… … .”

At Xian’s words, the Thunderbolt Lord, Hector’s mouth was forcibly shut.

Xian brought a chair for the guard and sat on it, crossing his legs.

I saw Hector, sitting in the prison, looking sullenly at me.

It was Xian who decided to call him Hector, the original name of his body, because he couldn’t be called the Thunderbolt God in front of others.

“I can’t just let you go for doing that. For the time being, I’m going to keep you in moderation just because you’re interrogating me. I’ll get it out soon, so stay calm for now.”

“Keugh… … In such a dark place where you can’t even see the sky… … .”

“Don’t worry, it won’t be long. You say that 50 years is not enough time for you? Is it that hard to wait a few days?”

“It’s not… … .”

“Anyway, this is enough, so let’s continue talking about what we did last time.”

“What are you talking about?”

Hector said bluntly. A look full of dissatisfaction with Xian, who is still only talking about himself. But there was nothing he could do.

“About the Dark Magic Tower. Tell me everything you know.”

“Even if you know… … Because I wasn’t particularly connected to them.”

“okay?”

“The only one I took as an incarnation was Hector. Just when I was getting bored of just rolling around in the mountains, a signal came from the ground.”

According to Hector, it seems that the Dark Magic Tower has some means of connecting to Hell.

Through it, they come into contact with the demons of Hell, sacrifice themselves, and gain strength.

“Recently, the only person I’ve touched is Hector. However, it seems that some of the others are quite obsessed with the ground. They say that a bad guy has several incarnations under his command.”

“Who are those obsessives?”

“First of all, as far as I know, the Dragon King and the Princess Haeryung are like that… … .”

Hey, those are names everyone knows.

“Among other monarchs, about the master of nightmares? I can’t count anything lower than that.”

“The master of nightmares… … .”

A monarch-class demon on the same level as the Demon Dragon King, Hae-ryung Palace, and Psyche. Xian engraved the newly appeared name into his head.

“Ask the other way. Do you know where the base of the Dark Magic Tower is?”

“I don’t know. As far as I know, the Dark Magic Tower is a point organization, but the members only know the location of their own organization. At least Hector did.”

“It’s not like there’s no headquarters, right? How do I get instructions?”

“He must be writing something like an artifact. Or is it that they are flying pigeons unexpectedly?”

“You mean I don’t know.”

“uh.”

Hector nodded shamelessly.

He seemed strangely happy only when he answered that he didn’t know. It seems that it is so good to make fun of yourself as much as you can.

Well, it’s not that I don’t know the heart.

“It’s a point organization… … .”

He seemed to know why they hadn’t been eradicated yet, even though the households were out there like that, and there was even an organization called the Cheondo League.

It must be because even if you find one and destroy it, there are still several branches in other places.

Even if one branch is destroyed, several new branches may be created on the other side of the continent in that time. How can I find it and get rid of it?

Unlike the normal Mage Tower, it wouldn’t be too difficult to replenish the number of people in the Dark Mage Tower.

‘Being strong without having to train hard is a great charm.’

That’s why many mages fell for Hector’s tricks during this thunder mage tower avalanche.

I hate training because it is painful, but I want to enjoy the power.

How many people in the world have such thoughts?

As expected, in order to wipe out all of them, it seems that there is no choice but to find the location of the headquarters or the owner of their tower and remove them.

but.

‘Well, you can do it yourself at Gaju or Cheondo.’

Xian’s purpose was not to exterminate them.

He only wants one thing from the Dark Magic Tower.

To become even stronger by absorbing all the energy of hell that they harbor.

In that sense, it’s rather not good if they are quickly eradicated.

The housekeeper and the jet black tower continue their confrontation by pushing and pulling moderately.

And in the middle, he only drains their energy and continues to grow stronger.

That was the best for him.

“Then you must know one thing for sure.”

Then you can’t miss this one.

“Where is the Mage Tower where Hector was located?”

The location of the mage tower where Hector was located. Xian asked about it.

There was no better idea to spend time during vacation.

* * *

In front of the castle gate of Agrid’s estate.

The guard guarding the front was standing upright and immobilized with a lot of discipline.

He raised his hand to his chest and shouted loudly.

“insect! Are you back!”

The owner of the estate has returned.
