Chapter 302: Step Back (1)

Baloch’s mental control is a top secret.

The same goes for the existence of a forced magic circle and the use of humans as magical test subjects. Verden does not want the information about Bohemirn Magic Tower’s unofficial experiments to be known.

Rumors without evidence.

The truth that has only heartache only causes troublesome confusion.

At the same time, the Bohemian Magic Tower will try to figure out the source of the uproar secretly without showing it on the outside.

If you don’t do it, you will step on the shadow.

In the worst case, even the survival of Verden and Adrian could be discovered.

And the other side that Baloch hides thoroughly.

It is said that he understands the nature, habits, and magical abilities of madness that are not known to the world, but in the end, it is only a part of it.

‘I don’t know Baloch’s power.’

In the first place, everyone would be the same.

Even the disciples and elders of the Mage Tower… … . Wouldn’t it be better if it was Dahit, the head of the Black Hour who waged a magic war himself?

In fact, even that is not certain.

‘Also, it is not known exactly what judgments Baloch will make in various situations.’

It’s all about understanding and guessing your point of view based on experience.

In other words, the more variables there are, the more difficult it is to predict the behavior of Baloch.

Concealment of information is essential. At least for now.

So Adrian’s identity is hidden.

If possible, he wanted to hide his appearance, but since his bare face had already been exposed in Wells Town, there was nothing he could do.

policy has been set.

So it was.

“… … Is it alive and moving with that body?”

Rebecca, arms crossed, glared at Adrian.

eyes full of enemies.

It’s an appropriate response for her.

Adrian is a swordsman dispatched from the Bohemirn Magic Tower.

A conflicting relationship with the Society, which is opposed to the Magic Tower. They even staged massacres in Dominion cities and Wellstown.

There were times when I tried to cut down villagers in the process.

There is room for extenuating circumstances because he was mentally controlled and insane, but the two people in front of him have no way of knowing.

“… … .”

Ethan’s eyes aren’t pretty either.

Pretend to be calm, but keep your senses sharp. His right hand, with the back of his hand in front, is hiding something inside that invisible palm.

I don’t know what it is, but it seems to be a mental mountain that will be activated if necessary.

How can I clear up the misunderstanding?

‘The answer is simple.’

To be consistent in ignoring.

The Society, especially Ethan, is trying to do himself a favor. So I won’t try to dig into the details.

Sometimes silence is wise.

It is true, however, that language implies more than static. Even now.

Adrian, who was facing Rebecca, opened his mouth.

“Thanks to that, the disaster was averted. Thank you.”

“… … ?”

It was a greeting for saving a child.

As the serious voice passed his ear, Ethan twitched his hand and showed interest, and Rebecca widened her eyes.

It was natural to be surprised.

The madman who wielded the sword in Wells Town and now Adrian were like two sides of the same coin.

“My, did I hear wrong?”

“You heard me right. Oops, I was very nervous, but it was completely different from what I expected. Isn’t that right, Rebecca?”

Ethan laughed lightly.

Soon, what was in the palm of his hand disappeared into his sleeve. The vigilance that stayed together also faded unlike before.

At the same time, the transparent jewel adorning the bracelet illuminated Adrian. sinisterly

“… … joy.”

Rebecca was the same.

He watched Adrian’s sword and hand suspiciously, as if he couldn’t understand with just a few words. It was blatant.

The difference in personality between the two was evident.

“Maybe something happened while we were gone. I’m very curious, but… … I don’t think you’ll be willing to let me know. So I won’t ask.”

Ethan’s narrowed eyes drew an arc.

“But apart, could you spare a moment?”

want to talk

In a place where there are no outsiders.

“I will.”

Verden nodded.

It was what I wanted anyway.

* * *

Adrian went back to the cave and took a deep rest.

In order for the fragmented bones to stick together, stability is absolutely necessary. After being stuck in a misaligned state, it would be a lot of trouble to get it back.

Trees with fallen leaves revealing branches.

Verden, Ethan, and Rebecca were the only three people in the bare forest.

“The Society.”

The rush was abrupt.

Conversations in the Dominion’s underground conduits and mansions.

Just like Ethan’s attitude, which had changed favorably in the meantime.

“I am against the Mage Tower system, but I do not reject the achievements the Mage Tower has achieved so far. Without their strength and knowledge, we could not have reached the present era.”

The Mage Tower has contributed greatly to the development of the world.

It became possible to protect more citizens from external threats such as sub-races and hetero-species, and the overall standard of living also improved.

In addition to that, if you list them one by one, you will go far beyond ten fingers.

“However, stagnant water rots someday. The current Mage Tower has lost its direction.”

“direction?”

“Do you know about the first magic tower?”

Of course I know.

If you are a wizard who has come into contact with the history of the Mage Tower, it is impossible not to know

A distant time when the existence of a wizard was extremely rare.

It was the first Mage Tower that introduced the classification of magic called hierarchy for the first time and systematically started training wizards.

“you’re right. The purpose of the first mage tower was built for the people. It was a gathering of righteous wizards to break through the difficulties of the times by digging up and studying magic that had been dismissed as a mystery. It was the beginning of the Mage Tower system that those who were inspired by their strength, efforts, and determination built other Mage Towers.”

Ethan slowly took off his feet and walked around the area.

“But the ages have been cruel. In the present, the Mage Tower has forgotten the attitude it should have… … .”

A wizard is a human who seeks knowledge.

The utilitarian spirit of improvement is the driving force that everyone has.

That’s why the base of the magic tower is great.

It twists the instinct of selfishness and makes it part of the process, resulting in altruism.

But not anymore.

Most mage towers only pursue a mage-like mind.

Same here, for example.

A conflict between the cities of the Dominion of Midlos and the Mage Towers in Wells Town. What kind of altruism is here?

There is only mutual selfishness in the process and purpose.

“… … .”

Verden listened to Edan’s speech.

Surely he wasn’t wrong. In reality, Verden and Adrian were crystallized by the selfishness of the Magic Tower.

Ethan took a deep breath and continued.

“So, the Society is based on the reforms of the times.”

“Are you trying to revive the glory of the past?”

“It’s just part of the process, and we want to move forward without being buried. Learning from the past, acting on the real, and building a better future.”

Ethan stopped.

“Isn’t that the essence of magic?”

Age is embedded in language.

It wasn’t a fleeting illusion. It is a conclusion reached at the end of overlapping and harmonizing various ideas and knowledge.

An unknown organization called the Society.

They only paid attention to the peculiarities of falling in love with the Magic Tower, but what they pursued was truly beyond Verden’s expectations.

interest arises

It was pure interest as a wizard.

“… … I’m sure Asher has an idea of ​​what we’re talking about. So I’ll give you a straight-forward suggestion.”

Even though the tone is different, you have to get used to it.

Verden had already encountered a situation similar to this.

Listener of the Ark.

The conversations and promises I had with him are clearly in my memory.

“Are you thinking of joining the Society?”

There is sincerity in the tone.

Ethan and Rebecca gazed at Verden with eyes filled with anticipation. Of course, only a few.

It was a gaze that already knew what answer it would give.

“I refuse.”

“Oh, Ethan. I knew it would be like this———”

“I still want to have a deep conversation.”

Rebecca blinked in surprise.

Between the narrow eyes of Ethan, who was beside him, blue-grey pupils were revealed.

I knew I wasn’t going to get an offer.

So it was my wish to leave room for a positive relationship… … This was an answer that exceeded expectations.

Ethan hurriedly gestured.

Right away, Rebecca held out to Verden a coin-sized, inverted triangle with a circle inside it, from the inside of her robe.

“When this mark is activated, magic power will be released from the magic stone inside, and it will be converted into a unique magic power wave and spread in all directions. It’s hard to detect unless you’re a very sensitive wizard, and even if you do, you won’t be able to tell where the wave originates.”

“This is a mark that the Society is using for one-time use. Maneuver in the city and sooner or later the Society will try to make contact. There are other complicated procedures, but they won’t be too cumbersome.”

“You have to figure out when to meet.”

“Wouldn’t that be more comfortable?”

That’s it.

Verden reached out.

As soon as it touched my fingertips, the mark disappeared into subspace.

However, there was one question.

“What if I use it on another continent?”

“It’s a different continent… … Clearly, the Society is known to operate in the Eastern Continent. The magic towers believe that too. However, what about the reality?”

“… … !”

“The world is full of secrets. Both us and Mr. Asher.”

Ethan smiled.

“Then I will wait for your call.”

The conversation ended there.

Verden said hello and looked at the backs of Ethan and Rebecca as they left.

‘There are not just one or two secret organizations.’

The ark that wants to lead mankind.

Gluttony wants to exterminate the old race and create a new one.

A group of black magicians who wish for an immortal world, the glory of the corpse.

A society that wants to reform the Age of Magic.

If you look at it roughly, it looks like this.

Verden realized again how wide the world was.

But there was nothing to say.

To be honest, if Verden builds up its forces, it would also be dismissed as a secret organization in the world.

I stopped thinking and brushed my hair.

‘Anyway, I managed one with this.’

But I can’t leave yet.

The time has come for them to come to the Dominion.

Only after taking care of that, you can take Adrian to another area.

There is no option to ignore.

If I did, it would have been annoying later on.

That’s what the magic tower is.

* * *

Verden has returned to the Dominion of Midlos.

Before I could even enter the mansion, the front door opened and Padreld rushed out.

“You’re finally here, Mr. Asher!”

It is full of joy and relief.

In particular, the latter emotion occupies most of the expression.

It wasn’t because of the price of the contraband favour, or the information fee. As if a knife had been driven into his throat, cold sweat dripping down like rain speaks.

“Did you come from the Magic Tower?”

“Yes, an inspector will be dispatched soon, so everyone involved will be sent a notice asking them to voluntarily… … uh? Oh, did you know?”

“Because that would be natural.”

The Dominion has gone missing.

In addition, the magician dispatched from the Mage Tower and the head of the Dominion branch were massacred. Even within the castle of the Dominion.

Will this situation calm down as if nothing happened?

‘It can’t be.’

Larian Magic Tower.

The magic tower of the volcanic island.

The two with large stakes in the Dominion won’t sit idly by.

A high-ranking wizard will be dispatched to find out the truth of the incident and whether the deal with Kendras has been revealed.

Anyone who is even slightly involved will be searched out.

Even the back alley forces that investigated the Mamentus Company and the Rainbow Inn… … . There is also a possibility that they will try to sweep them ruthlessly by making excuses instead of stopping there.

If you do, a bloody wind blows in the city.

Not only that, but at the end of the relentless pursuit, the pursuit will lead to Verden.

So we have to stop here.

“The clown of Aldamia. Are they both alive?”

“… … ! Yes, they are alive.”

They retaliated, but did not kill.

Padreld and the back alley forces did not ignore Verden’s advice.

“Then, treat me properly. Wouldn’t it be a waste if you died along the way?”

They are terrorist killers.

And he is a mercenary sent by the Bohemirn Magic Tower.

I have no intention of showing mercy from the start.

Also, even if he died late and became a corpse, it was enough, so he handed over his identity… … If you’re still breathing, you can make the process a little smoother.

Verden said.

“Tell the two magic tower investigators when they arrive in the Middleos Dominion. If you want to know what you want, come directly to the mansion.”

“That, that word… … .”

“I will build the negotiations.”

Just like the beginning, the finish is also up to Verden.

Padreld took a breath with surprised eyes and bowed respectfully.

“Thank you, Asher.”

lived

A sigh of relief spread.
