Welcome to the Magic Tower - Welcome to the Magic Tower chapter 70

70 – The Cloud of War

The Yellow Sea.

“Did you put some medicine on it?”

Maru spit out the sound of Bolmen.

I got on the fishing boat at sea with her father, but I couldn’t feel her bite for 2 hours.

It’s not a bad seat when you see the father sitting on the other side lifting his breath.

“Hiya-! It’s great!”

Seeing his father monopolize the face of rockfish by himself, he wonders if he might ask to change seats even though he is foolish.

Thirty minutes ago, he was sitting in that seat, so nothing has changed.

However, I couldn’t help it that other people’s rice cakes looked big.

“Son, if you throw something, don’t be swayed, and wait calmly. Got it?”

Maru was very resentful of her father, who raised one corner of her mouth to her ear and smirked at her.

He glared at the back of his father’s head with his eyes narrowed, then threw the lure again.

My father catches five or six rockfish, but shouldn’t he catch at least one himself?

…… Tung. The bobber that flew away created waves on the surface of the water.

Maru glared at the fishing hook with her bulging eyes. She repeated it countless times in her head.

Calmly.

Don’t be fooled.

Let’s keep this in mind.

Calmly.

Never stumble.

Please keep that in mind.

Three minutes to continue the lonely snowball fight like that.

Maru’s concentration has reached its limit.

It was predestined for him to blink his eyes as he lost interest and bruise, Sewol and Newol.

But it was a complete coincidence that I witnessed it.

“…… Uh?”

‘Hundreds’ of waveforms, as if a lure hit the surface of the water at a distance that Maru, who has 2.0 Eyesight, could barely see, arose at once.

Maru suddenly raised her head.

The sky was clear. She was sunny without a single dark cloud. At least it didn’t look like it would rain.

“Oh, did you come to bite?”

“No, that’s not it… ….”

Maru replied vaguely and looked at her front again.

“… ….”

But her sleep was strangely calm.

***

-This is an extinct demon. She reached the port.

“Report.”

-Compared to this palace, the boundaries are weak and the area is significantly smaller. Interceptors also do not exist.

“… ….”

-However, please be careful as there are enchantments that can suddenly cancel the barrier.

“Okay. Do not wish me luck.”

After answering that, Gwangpung Daeju frowned and quietly looked at the scene in front of him.

Ashes flew.

It’s a trace of someone who had been subdued until recently.

Unluckily, right before the telegram came, the ‘concealment’ was lifted and the existence was witnessed by the general public.

And then, it turned into ashes.

It was a truly dishonorable death.

“…… The sorcerers of the peninsula are practicing wicked tricks.”

This is such a disrespectful thing.

Muin (Martial Arts) moved to the raw material of the hatred that was raised to the limit.

Dozens of warriors followed the clandestine steps in the barrier that ordinary people would never see.

Hundreds of people crossed the border like that all over the country.

Do you dream of becoming a hero who saves the weak from evil?

To be honest, I dreamed of something like that when I was young.

But now, he had no intention of giving up his life like a grass dog for others.

But why?

“Sorry.”

My childhood friend laughed at my stupid answer. It must have been easier on the body and mind to just run away, but I denied it, and she didn’t ask again.

It dawned on me that he was an undeserved friend to me.

Do you ever regret it?

I have no regrets.

Is that really so?

No, I’m not really sure.

The subtle smile of my childhood friend who looked at me fondly kept crossing my mind.

I should have just run.

“I would like to thank all the great wizards for being here.”

From noble mtl dot com

The gray-haired gentleman, who had stepped up to the podium and introduced himself as a member of the Senate—with a handsome mustache—bowed his head.

When I think of the people who fill my surroundings, I don’t think they said it to me, but I felt a little hurt.

Will people know how I feel about being generalized as a wizard, and being denied my identity as a merchant and ninja?

Maybe I don’t know.

Thump-thump, I fired up the engine of rage.

[ Gold Coin Art is active. ]

My heart trembled.

Even in the midst of that, my eyes and ears were focused on the old gentleman.

The elder looked at the papers in his hand with a rather calm expression and spoke to the wizards in the lobby.

“As of today, the Korean branch of the Selberg Mage Tower will cease to exist.”

The old gentleman continued.

“At the same time, I would like to divide those who will move to the headquarters and those who will give up their affiliation.”

Those who wish to fight against the enemy in Selberg’s name-

“Raise your hand.”

I raised both hands.

No matter how many times I look at it, my identity is an escaped ninja, so why am I not escaping?

Is it fake?

Have I ever been a fake ninja?

“I don’t know.”

I muttered hollowly.

Disappointment and doubt about the fact that he was heading to the battlefield on his own feet came belatedly.

Why am I headed there when the cause or honor of saving my country does not come with the war that I will face in the future, and I do not struggle to survive.

To be honest, my fingers don’t hurt just because a former co-worker dies.

“So why are you going?”

I asked while looking at Shin Hye-young, who was sitting next to her. She glared at her grumpy face and mumbled her mouth, and she eventually replied.

“My parents are sick, so I can’t even run away. We need money and achievements to move on together.”

Shin Hye-young added that if she kills a person with this ability, she will receive a certain amount of goods and experience points.

The madmen come in to survive, and they go to kill to protect their families and live.

She, too, sighed with a dark complexion as if thinking of her future, and turned her body towards her window.

I also closed my eyes and let her head cool.

Booooong-. Soon, the flying boat began to soar through the sky with a feeling of floating.

There was no turning back now.

***

A cloud of war hung over us.

Whether it’s the sky where telegrams fly in all directions, or the streets where passers-by disappear, it’s the same no matter where you look.

The war was right around the corner.

“…… He said he would resign yesterday.”

It’s a meaningless assumption since I woke up at dawn today, but if that was the case, I wouldn’t have run away like I am now.

Irene looked sideways at the magic tower in the distance with a bitter expression.

I shook my head and dragged the carrier along.

If I were to be requisitioned, it would be quite troublesome and dangerous, so I chose to escape.

The humiliation and displeasure resulting from the fact that she physically ran away because she was pushed by her juniors at a job she had attended for several years was not enough to make sense of it, but living somehow was the most important thing.

‘…… Yes, if you live, you can do anything.’

You will be safe from invasion until today, so let’s take supplies and goods as much as possible and run away to another world.

No matter how barren a place may be, it will be worth living if you build a good foundation.

Irene kept a positive thought rolling in her head with a forced smile on her lips.

If not, I felt like my mentality would collapse due to my self-esteem that had collapsed since yesterday.

‘Let’s start at home first.’

This is a riverside apartment with a sparsely decorated interior thanks to the fact that most of the working days are spent in the night shift room.

Irene took her heavy steps towards it.

Including ornaments, but since there were many magic tools and consumables, the value was considerable.

It was a place she had to stop by as she ran away without her backing boat called the magic tower.

“Hello? I was waiting because you weren’t at the hospital.”

“… ….”

She knew that, too.

Kwaang-.

Irene stared blankly at the demon in front of her, not even paying attention to the collapse of her carrier.

Compared to a small area, blue eyes with enormous magic power.

She felt her demon interest and life there, and Irene sat down on her porch.

Forgot-.

Involuntarily, I closed and opened my eyes.

Then the devil, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, was leaning beside her.

A beautiful smile on a beautiful face.

However, when she looked at her, her heart felt like she was about to pour out her intestines.

The devil whispered.

“Abusive language, overwork, assault, attempted murder.”

And the dog collar.

At that moment, having a premonition of her own fate, Irene closed her eyes.

It was over.
