Episode 278: Magic Towers

At one time, the territory of the Dominion of Midlos was a matter of great interest to neighboring countries.

It was suitable for adventurers to work because there were forests inhabited by various sub-species nearby, and it was easy to trade or invade because it was close to various countries.

And just over a couple of mountains, there is a ‘Wells Town’, which traditionally manages large wheat fields, making it self-sufficient for basic food.

Conflicts for control over the only city in the center of the territory arose over and over again.

At a time when the Principality of Riviant did not exist, the land was stained with blood due to local warfare followed by information warfare by kingdoms, republics, and city unions.

The corpses that could not be recovered became prey for beasts, beasts, and subhumans.

Iron weapons that could not be recovered were seized and used by goblins, orcs, and kobolds.

Territorial disputes are not simply human.

The war showed no signs of ending.

An aristocrat who became disillusioned with such a situation brought in an external force, the ‘Eastern Continent’s Magic Tower’.

───I’ll give you what you ask for, so please make this damn territory independent! please!

The Mage Towers who were offered the deal accepted it with satisfaction.

As a result, wizards and wizards of 5th tier or higher were dispatched, and the conflict soon ended.

The territory surrounded by piles of corpses was named the Midlos Dominion and separated from other countries, and the nobles who traded with the Mage Tower became the Dominion.

That was the origin of this city and land.

Eventually, the first self-governing lord died, and his descendants succeeded to the position.

Decades of years passed like that over several generations. Even so, the transaction and relationship with the Mage Tower continued.

right up until now.

“Whoa… … .”

The ruling ruler of the time let out an excited breath.

The scent of fine wine pleasantly stimulated the sense of smell. Then he extended his knife towards the long-cooked steam dish.

The blade penetrates smoothly without any resistance.

As soon as I took a bite of the cut meat, the gravy burst out like an explosion and became one with the sweet taste of the sauce.

Truly a delicacy.

“As expected, it’s definitely different because they use high-quality meat. How are you two?”

“Excellent. Your tongue is satisfied.”

“I hope it tastes good. Ingredients are ingredients, but the chef’s skills stand out in particular.”

Ezra, a middle-aged man, and Molly, a woman with wrinkles around her eyes, nodded.

Both of them are 5th class wizards who have crossed the wall of the 4th class.

They belonged to the ‘Volcanic Island Magic Tower’ and the ‘Larian Magic Tower’, which formed a close relationship with the previous autonomous lords.

The overall ranking of the mage tower is 6th and 8th, respectively, and although they belong to a relatively low rank, even if they are at the lowest rank, the mage tower is a mage tower.

Their influence on the Dominion of Midlos cannot be ignored.

The Dominion Lord smiled broadly.

“Haha, I’m so glad you like it. This is all thanks to the grace given by the Magic Tower of Volcano Island and the Magic Tower of Larian, so if you have something you want to eat, feel free to tell us. We will do our best to prepare.”

“Since the lord of the Dominion says so, I have no choice but to decline this.”

“hmm.”

The wizards of the Mage Tower grinned.

He never got tired of hearing the flattery of nobles.

Ezra said.

“By the way, how is Mamentus Co. going? I checked and they still hold title to some lands and buildings in the Dominion. The same goes for the Rainbow Inn.”

“Currently processing. Apparently, both of them have quite a lot of stake in the Bohemian Magic Tower, so it’s a little bit puzzling… … .”

“Haa, I’ve said it several times already, but don’t mind the Bohemian Magic Tower. You’ll be busy waging an all-out war against Black Hour in the West Continent, but will you have time to discuss each and every stake in the company? Tsk.”

Bohemirn Magic Tower is aiming for actual control of the Dominion. Ambition to expand influence to the eastern continent following the western and central continents.

It was only natural that the Magic Tower of Volcano Island and the Magic Tower of Larian were hostile toward the vested interest in the Midlos Dominion.

‘Now’s the chance as the Bohemian Magic Tower pays attention to Black Hour.’

We must uproot and exterminate the bases they have taken root in the Dominion, and quickly fill their void. To solidify the interest in the Dominion.

Ezra and Molly were dispatched for that purpose in the first place.

Competition between mage towers spanning continents.

Although they look peaceful on the outside, they are fighting a fierce battle of nerves underneath the surface. It wasn’t something that could be stopped just because someone intervened.

“All right. I will try to shorten the time as much as possible, trusting only you two.”

The Dominion Lord immediately agreed.

As a single lord, he had no choice but to choose two towers, excluding the Bohemirn tower.

Because that’s the best and more profitable.

The man who became the owner of the Dominion at a young age only wanted his own safety.

* * *

The distance of the Dominion was clearly far behind that of the Kingdom and Principality.

There were only a handful of tall buildings, and not one or two of them were outdated. Upon closer inspection, a moldy wall was reflected in the field of view.

how to say It felt like taking a town-class village as it is and expanding the area to the level of a big city.

‘It’s a city that doesn’t develop… … .’

The faces of the citizens passing by were dark.

At the same time, I was walking as far away from the narrow alley as possible.

Asern, the city where Ferne resided, which was considered unsafe, seemed absolutely safe.

Tuck, Tuck.

As Verden was walking down the street, a building came into view.

Above Mamentus.

The damage caused by the sudden death of Sanghoju was very great, and the inside of the building was very quiet.

As I passed by, I peeked and saw that there were only one or two people going through the entrance.

It is an atmosphere of becoming one with the gloomy Dominion.

It seemed that sooner or later it would close completely.

Then, by chance, I was able to see the rainbow colored inn.

A burnt down building with less than half of its skeleton remaining. The blackened wreckage gave off a faint smell of burnt and decorated the streets even darker.

‘It’s all about barring entry with a hastily constructed fence.’

Although some time has passed since it was burned, there does not seem to be any sign of cleaning it up.

Are you deliberately leaving it alone?

Whatever it was, when I looked at the streets as a whole, the Dominion of Midlos and the nobles didn’t seem to have much interest in managing the city.

What would the Marquis of Esperenza say when they saw it?

I stopped walking at the end of my thoughts.

“… … .”

The branch of Bohemirn Magic Tower is right in front of you.

Perhaps it was because they all returned to the West Continent due to the war with Black Hour, but they didn’t feel any popularity.

Cobwebs piled up in the corner meant that it had been left unattended for a long time.

Approaching the entrance, Verden grabbed the handle.

It was locked with a metal padlock and a protective magic circle, but it was as if it were not there.

Kwadeuk! The magic circle was destroyed in an instant as the lumbar vertebrae were smashed, and the locking device could not withstand and was ripped off.

Upon entering, the smell of moldy dust filled the room.

It simply purifies the air by blowing wind, and is located in the center of the first floor.

Looking around, he seemed to have left the branch in a hurry, and there were various books, writing tools, and magic items using manastones rolling around on the floor.

Eventually, Verden raised his head.

“… … Long time no see.”

Long curtains adorn the walls of the branch.

On a dark crimson background, golden curves extending from the north, south, east and west converge in the center to form an ellipse at the center.

A symbol unique to the Bohemirn Mage Tower that has the meaning of embracing all elements.

Emotions naturally boil over.

Quietly closing his eyes and persevering, Verden changed his mind.

The Mamentus Company and the Rainbow Inn are closely related to the Bohemian Magic Tower.

However, at this time, I suffered a major accident and suffered irreversible damage. Of course it wouldn’t be a coincidence.

The Bohemian Mage Master, Baloch, would also think so.

‘There are a total of three responses that the Magic Tower Master can take.’

Dispatch manpower and regain influence, continue ignoring it, or find the culprit and erase it without rumors.

It doesn’t matter if you exclude the first one.

There would be no reason to move leisurely in the yard where the foundations laid in the Dominion were damaged.

Bohemirn Magic Tower is not a gentle organization.

The second was the most realistic of the three.

The loss of the power source, and no matter how much other magic towers help, the magic battle with Black Hour will continue.

If you can’t afford it, you’ll have no choice but to ignore the incident that happened in the Dominion right away.

‘And the third countermeasure… … .’

It is subjectively considered the most probable.

It is because of the nature of the mage tower master.

Baloch’s unique sense of self-esteem never forgives or leaves those who dare to show their teeth against him.

Even if you hire a force other than the Mage Tower’s power.

Perhaps, sooner or later, a storm may come to the Dominion.

“… … Rather, I would like that.”

Verden opened his eyes.

At the same time, the magic eye engraved with the magic circle of the reverse sky flashed.

The insignia engulfed in flames and the symbol of the Bohemian Mage Tower engraved on it burned and disappeared in an instant.

simple resentment.

The purpose is to find an empty branch.

‘It doesn’t matter what the mage tower lord decorates.’

If it blocks the way forward, it will only destroy it in reverse.

Of course, secretly and thoroughly on the line that does not reveal the identity. Verden was beyond Baloch’s imagination.

Verden turned his back and left the branch.

Cold ashes flew through the cracks in the closed door.

* * *

Somewhere on the northern edge of the eastern continent.

A vast amount of mana was released in a rough area where no one lived, and purple waves rolled. Right after that, a magic circle floated on the floor and the space opened.

Two people appeared in it.

Baloch’s second disciple, Ray Shen.

He turned his head with a mischievous face.

A man with long hair tied over his head, a metal mask and iron armor covering his body, and a rusty sword were reflected in his vision.

“This is the Eastern Continent. Do you remember exactly what Master ordered?”

“The clown of Aldamia. dominion. hostile forces. witness. annihilate. self-destruction.”

It was a cold voice.

There were no emotions in it.

“Okay, after meeting the clowns, follow their instructions. Oh, if someone attacks you, be sure to kill them and eliminate any witnesses. I understand?”

“yes.”

“really? Even if the opponent is a woman or a child, would you kill him?”

“yes.”

The man gave the same answer.

In the two holes on the top of the mask, only the sky-blue eyes that lost the subject’s will shone clearly.

Seeing him, Ray Shen nodded in admiration.

“Wow, no matter how much you destroy your mind and weave a magic circle over it… … I never thought I could ignore the repulsive power of the heavenly sword and succeed in brainwashing. Even though he is my teacher, he is very serious about blaspheming his character.”

You will respect your master more.

A desire to improve only for oneself and magic, ignoring morality and ethics that hinder progress.

It was indeed the attitude that Ray Shen pursued.

“… … I should imitate more.”

Ray Shen made a firm resolution and got on top of the space magic circle. The light emitted and his figure disappeared along with the magic circle.

A man left alone in the woods walked forward.

Former Central Continent 4.

Heavenly Sword, Adrian Chenvers.

The swordsman who had been close to transcendence in the past headed for the Midlos Dominion.
