Episode 303 Step Back (2)

The Volcanic Island Magic Tower and the Larian Magic Tower had a very close relationship with the Midlos Dominion.

Conflicts between neighboring countries and sub-species that are becoming more and more dangerous day by day.

In exchange for the independence of the Middle Loss Dominion, which was suffering between them, a mutual transaction promising various shares and cooperation in the territory.

First, the two magic towers established a branch.

Under the lofty spire, he received a considerable amount of money every year for the reason of protecting the city.

If there was anything needed for magic research, he received active help, and the same was true for the business that would become the Mage Tower’s fund.

Even without going through the adventurer’s guild, he obtained the corpse of a sub-species without any additional cost or procedure.

Expanding the influence went smoothly.

Occasionally there was dissonance between the two towers, but it was just noise.

Rather than wage a bloody war over interests, they settled down in the Dominion and took root deeply.

Then one day, a threatening competitor called the Bohemian Magic Tower suddenly reached out… … To be honest, I haven’t had any problems so far.

Due to several huge incidents, they worked hand in hand while they were preoccupied with the West Continent.

He rallied those who were hostile to the Bohemian Magic Tower, secretly supported them, and cut and pulled out the roots of the uninvited guests.

In fact, victory was almost certain.

But it got ruined.

“I thought Ezra, Molly, and the leaders, including the branch manager, who were sent to check the Bohemian Mage Tower, would be annihilated overnight. The Dominion has gone missing… … It would be reasonable to assume he is dead.”

“okay. And since the Dominion was young, he had no children yet. His parents died early, and he has no relatives. The seat of the lord has collapsed. It’s a pity that the family that we’ve been dealing with has dried up.”

“In a word, wasn’t it right? This can’t be a coincidence.”

The peak of the mountains of the Dominion of Midlos.

The two mages who sat on it had a conversation looking down at the city. Contrary to the seriousness of the situation, it was a calm voice.

I admit that there are some blows.

However, looking at the Mage Tower as a whole, it wasn’t to the point of making a fuss, and the above two people were allowed to understand the Mage Tower’s point of view.

Meanwhile, two investigators appeared.

They were dispatched from Volcano Island’s Magic Tower and Larian Magic Tower, respectively.

“As you said, I brought the body.”

The investigator opened the space bag.

He placed the frozen pieces of meat neatly on the floor and stepped back.

It was the corpses of mages who died after their bodies were dismembered.

“Hmm, I was struck by a very sharp and quick sword technique. I don’t think I even resisted properly.”

“There were traces of the 5th tier magic, and , but I couldn’t find anything else.

“I see. What do you think, Tylen?”

“Isn’t it obvious, Melconi? Of course it must have been a surprise. If I had time to calculate the magic, the whole space would have been blown away. And if it’s 5th tier magic, then it’s only Ezra and Molly who realized it belatedly and tried to resist… … . A swordsman who can commit such a massacre in such a short period of time.”

I thought about it, but didn’t come up with anything.

“What about Kendras?”

“I tried to contact you, but there was no response.”

“It is dead. Well, it’s not a set procedure at the time the Dominion was kidnapped.”

“If you tell me, I will search Wells Town right away.”

“Not required. It just scratches and becomes a boil.”

It is clear that the culprit is the Bohemirn Magic Tower.

There was no physical evidence or anything, but the heart symptom was confirmed.

Because, other than them, there was no group that would try to wipe out the Dominion and destroy Kendras and his gang.

Avoid direct friction with the Bohemirn Magic Tower.

Because if you don’t, the damage is terrible.

To that end, Kendras was hired, and he had been using his hands to keep his connection with them hidden.

If there is no response to emergency calls, that is, death.

If that were the case, there was no reason to go out looking for it and show up.

“I thought there would be no time to pay attention to the East Continent, but it came out really radical.”

“Bohemirn Mage Tower Master, Baloch is famous for his mage supremacy, but he sent a swordsman… … Were you hired from outside?”

“Maybe. Seeing as it leaves no traces to trace, it’s no ordinary bet. Investigator, was there anything else unusual?”

“… … There are two more.”

the investigator continued.

Melconi and Tylen, who had been listening, smacked their lips.

“It is a trace after the incident. And from what I’ve been told so far, it must be the work of that ‘Asher’.”

“Why is that the issue?”

Asher, the king of darkness caught between the Bohemian Magic Tower and the two Magic Towers.

I considered the number of cases, but I couldn’t understand its existence and behavior.

Why did he come to the Dominion of Midlos at this point?

And why did he use the power of the back alley to follow the Autonomous Lord?

“The leader of the Bohemirn Magic Tower… … It’s not right to say that. I don’t understand why they stormed into the castle after the incident.”

“What more can I know if I think about it? If you interrogate him, you will naturally find out.”

Ruler of Loapra.

I’ve heard of that notoriety, but they weren’t the ones to be intimidated by it.

The elder of the Magic Tower on Volcanic Island.

One of Andranov, Melconi Blaud.

Committee of the Larian Magic Tower.

Tyllenhaugen is in charge of blue among the five colors.

It is one of the powers of the 6th tier or higher Mage Tower.

Their mission is to secretly collect evidence and return to the Mage Tower without damage if Bohemirn Mage Tower is deeply involved.

If not, depending on the situation, it was to eliminate all those involved.

If you want to do it, it’s not as difficult as making the Midlos Dominion into a mess.

“By the way, what is the one singularity that remains?”

“That, that… … .”

When I opened my mouth hesitantly, Melcony and Tylen, who were listening, blinked.

“… … what? If you want to know what you want, come in person?”

“… … .”

“Huh, true. It’s the first time I’ve lived and lived like this. Instead of crouching down, he rather straightened his back. What kind of guts are you?”

“It would be either one. Are you underestimating the Magic Tower, or do you have grounds for treating the Magic Tower that way?”

The two laughed as if it was absurd.

Still, there was no discomfort. I was more curious.

What on earth do you have that dares to ask the inspector of the two magic towers to come?

“Let him do whatever he wants.”

Tylen gave permission.

“We will be watching from here.”

The sapphire adorning the necklace shone.

* * *

A dreary Dominion mansion.

Two investigators followed the terrified guide through the halls. The worn-out scenery here and there was truly pitiful and unpleasant.

Soon after, the two entered and faced the owner of the mansion.

“… … !”

And I felt a bit embarrassed.

The most brilliant platinum robe and accessories.

From any angle, they are not unusual.

As much as they were engaged in the Mage Tower, they were equipped with better equipment than others, and even though they belonged to the discerning side, their value was inestimable.

Especially that robe.

There was one more annoying thing.

‘Kyungji… … Don’t you feel it?’

Even though I tried to measure the color, I couldn’t feel anything. It meant that the detection had failed altogether.

That’s one of three things.

Either the opponent didn’t awaken their magic, or they blocked it with some kind of magic item, or they were on a similar level to themselves.

Judging by the way he behaved, he probably wouldn’t have been the first.

If you listen to the rumors in the first place, it is clear that he is a wizard.

‘Then it’s a similar level or a magic item.’

The upper level was not taken into account.

A young man with no wrinkles on his face could not have dared to do that. The fact that he was a 5th tier mage was enough to surprise me.

It was a judgment based on common sense.

“If you want to know what you want, come in person… … . It was a very cheeky invitation from a young guy in blue.”

“Hmm, at that age, being the ruler of the underworld, it’s natural for him to become arrogant.”

The two investigators sat down in the prepared chairs.

It was natural, as if he didn’t need Verden’s permission.

“Now then, let’s take out what we have.”

infinitely arrogant attitude.

It had been a long time since even Verden had met someone who spoke with a sense of selectivity unique to the Mage Tower and a way of speaking that exuded mage supremacy.

I don’t mind getting used to it.

Verden said, looking at the investigator.

“I’ll let you do that if you want.”

“… … !!”

The investigator’s judgment was distorted by the insincere tone without any respect.

Before he could even vent his anger, the door opened and two men dressed in shabby rags, Massey and Devonnie, were dragged in. He was treated, but the scars are evident.

Wanting something, one of the investigators, who was staring closely at his face, reacted.

“… … clown?”

“hmm? Are you suddenly a clown?”

“The clown of Aldamia. don’t you remember? I heard that while being wiped out as international criminals in the past, the leader, Aldamia, and several of his entourages broke through the siege and escaped… … .”

Why are you here?

Suddenly, I remembered the massive fire that broke out in the slums of the Dominion.

“Are these the culprits who committed the arson?”

“I caught it myself.”

One investigator chuckled.

“I did something, and you had the person who caused the situation. But this isn’t enough. If you came to the scene, you would know. It wasn’t those scum that killed the leaders of the Mage Tower branch. In that sense, I ask you one thing. Why did you go to the castle at the time of the incident?”

“I had an appointment with the ruling lord that day. However, even after a great fire broke out, the fort did not respond.”

“So you went? That’s not enough. Including that I had the back alley gangsters investigate behind the Dominion before the incident happened.”

not satisfied

The investigator raised his magic power.

“So please cooperate with me.”

“It was the clowns who led the situation. It would be enough to interrogate the two of them.”

“You dare interfere with the mage tower’s events? Just like the head of the underworld? Whatever it is, everyone is under investigation, including you.”

It was a threat.

The magic tower emphasizes strength rather than persuasion.

Because it was the most reasonable and efficient. The investigators dispatched from the Mage Tower knew well that coercion was more effective than appeasement.

Most of all, the branch manager and the mage sent separately from the Mage Tower were killed.

If it went smoothly like this, it doesn’t make sense to lose face.

It had to live up to the name of the Magic Tower, and that had to be done through thorough investigation and retaliation. That was the physiology of the ruling power, not just the Magic Tower.

But Verden was also a ruler.

“It is subject to investigation. As far as I know, there is no right to arbitrarily interrogate nobles from other countries in the Mage Tower.”

“What are you… … .”

Verden took out the certificate and medal.

When I lifted it with and placed it in front of the two, a certificate with a clear seal and a mark resembling a sharp shield were reflected in the eyes of the investigator.

* * *

The sharp shield is the symbol of the kingdom of Estyria.

The two investigators pretended to be nonchalant and rolled their eyes here and there to confirm the authenticity of the medal and certificate.

The conclusion was genuine.

In other words, the one in front is not only the ruler of Roapra, but also the honorary count of the kingdom of Estyria.

In the kingdom of Estyria, an honorary count is not just a count.

Practically the highest title that can be given to an outsider.

The existence of the estate is not that important. It meant that I myself was the one that the royal family of Estyria paid that much attention to.

‘Wow, why is the royal family… … ?’

Loapra is the shade and shadow of the kingdom.

It was a self-evident fact that he had some sort of relationship with the Estyrian royal family, but it was only in the dark.

If it were revealed that he was collaborating with the underworld, it would have a negative diplomatic impact. There was no reason why I had to give him a title while handling it.

‘No, the author is not Grond.’

He is the usurper who took Grond’s place.

That means… … .

‘Could it be that Asher stole Roapra from Grond under the orders of the Estyrian royal family?’

Yes, most likely.

Otherwise, there was no way to give him an official title.

The inspector carefully placed the certificates and medals.

After Verden retrieved it again, they slowly opened their mouths.

“… … What business did the Count come from the Dominion of Midlos?”

speech became quieter.

And I felt wary.

“Do I have an obligation to report to the Magic Tower?”

“The Dominion has been kidnapped and the leadership has been annihilated. This is a very serious matter. Just because you exercise your right to remain silent, it’s not going to go over!”

“So did I just stand by?”

Verden rested his chin.

“The fire was subdued and the culprit who started the fire was caught. And I’m handing it over to you guys without killing it. What more do we have to do here?”

“therefore… … .”

“You have no reason to arrest or interrogate me.”

If it was the usual magic tower, I would have suppressed it with force.

However, Verden was a true nobleman of the kingdom of Estyria. And he even captured the jester of Aldamia and handed it over to him.

The detailed background can be found out through the interrogation process.

Of course, there are parts that don’t make sense.

After the incident, where did you leave the city and why did you investigate behind the Dominion, etc. Still, there was no way to force it.

Aristocrats were nobles.

“If you wish to protest, formally speak to the Estyrian royal family.”

It wasn’t just for investigators.

It was a wedge aimed at the tip of the two magic towers facing the mansion from the mountain range outside the city.

Verden says.

or quietly turn it off

Or come down and attack.

Of course, the options have already been decided.

The more heads you have, the more thoughts you have, and the more things you have to lose, the more you hesitate.

This was especially the case with the lower rank Mage Tower.
