EPISODE.29
The Magical Headquarters Association.
Otherwise known as the Tower Owners’ Association for short, this was, unusually, a magic society that only magic tower owners could attend.
The owners of about 20 magic towers within Endymion gather in one place to hold a conference.
In fact, it was safe to say that it was an academic journal and a social gathering place for friends.
However, this did not mean that it did not have the characteristics of an academic society at all.
The only people who can attend the conference are the magic tower owner and one accompanying person.
In general, magic tower owners would have their disciples as their companions.
That’s because it was a place where students could broaden their horizons and show them a wider world.
Moreover, if you were lucky enough to have a magic tower lord of a higher rank than you teach your student, it would be no different from a windfall.
Anyway, for that reason, most tower owners tended to attend the magic tower meeting.
The owners of the four major magic towers in the royal capital that hosted the magic tower meeting were also the ones who showed their faces to a large extent.
Just one person.
Despite occupying a place in the four major magic towers of the capital, there was one person who did not show his face very often in the tower association.
It’s Daria Snowwhite.
‘It’s you, Master.’
Russell made eye contact with her, recalling the rumors he had heard in his past life.
“I heard that you don’t often attend pagoda meetings. Is there some special reason?”
“huh?”
In response to Russell’s question, she lightly tapped her chest.
I nodded and answered as if it were obvious.
“cancer. There is a reason for that. “This is a very important reason.”
When Russell looked curious, a meaningful smile spread across her face.
“Actually… … .”
“… … ?”
“The refreshments chosen by the so-called owners of the Four Great Magic Towers are all tasteless.”
“yes?”
For a moment, Russell wondered if he had misheard and asked back without realizing it.
“Perhaps they have all grown old and their sense of taste has weakened, so they only prepare tasteless snacks and tea. So most of them didn’t attend. Of course, it’s a different story when I host it. “Giggle.”
Russell was speechless when he heard that they had arranged refreshments to suit his taste.
I felt dumbfounded.
Attending the pagoda meeting was not mandatory.
But I can’t believe I’m not attending just for that reason.
On the contrary, I think that’s why it’s like her.
“Oh, of course I will attend this time.”
At that time, Daria stretched out her finger and pointed at Russell.
“Just like you. “The snacks don’t taste good, so I guess I’ll have to endure it for a bit.”
“With me?”
He said he would take him to the pagoda meeting.
Even though I wouldn’t have dared to ask for it, it was something I wanted.
But on the other hand, can I go? It was also true that I thought that.
‘There are two people on death row.’
Daria waved her hand as if to dispel those worries.
“I brought all the other guys with me at least once. And above all, the main character of this tower meeting will be you, the youngest.”
A wizard who not only gained the upper hand against three fellow 4th-circle wizards, but also defeated Abomination.
Supernova not only defeated the empire’s pursuit, but also defeated Spandom, the disciple of the empire’s superhuman, and cut down its supply and returned.
“Giggle. “It’s already worth seeing the expressions on the faces of the guys who boasted about being the owners of the tower.”
I can only guess Daria’s plan, but it hasn’t even happened yet.
For some reason, it felt like my face was already turning red.
.
.
Around evening.
As the sun sets, the western sky turns a blazing red.
Russell walked out of the flame tower, leaving behind the red-hot sky.
‘Today’s schedule is roughly complete.’
All that was left was to go home and rest, and if it had been anyone else, they would have done exactly that.
Because it wasn’t so wrong to spend the day faithfully and rest in your spare time.
However, Russell was different.
As he left the Flame Tower, he was already heading towards one of the libraries located within the royal capital.
‘Royal Magic Library.’
It was a library located not far from the Rubrium Museum.
It was also a somewhat special library that only wizards belonging to the Magic Tower could enter.
And the reason Russell visited this library was clear.
‘To look at books or papers related to dragons.’
It was clear that this ability given to him was related to dragons.
That’s why I wanted to find something that could be a clue or clue.
‘Of course, there really wasn’t anything I could find out.’

Through books and papers, I have checked all the appearances of dragons that have appeared over the past several thousand years.
He couldn’t find a horn with the same shape as the one he had absorbed.
‘That means it’s a dragon that has never been recorded, or else we have to look at records from thousands of years ago… … .’
The problem is several thousand years ago.
The point is that records from the mythical era and immediately afterward are not very common.
‘The Mythical Age and immediately thereafter.’
It is unknown what happened, but most of the civilization at the time was destroyed and no proper records were left.
And across the continent.
‘Usually this happens in one of two ways.’
Either someone intentionally expunged the record, or else-.
‘A big war broke out.’
In fact, it is not easy to make sense either way.
Still, if we had to discuss the possibility, it was most likely the latter.
Not just a part of it, but intentionally erasing the history that spread across the entire continent.
It was a difficult task to dream with just one or two people.
The time required would also be more than a thousand years.
‘This is a story that could only happen in a novel.’
In that case, what’s left is the latter.
Did a war break out on a scale that covered the entire continent?
‘after.’
Russell thought for a moment and then shook his head.
Despite feeling frustrated by the inability to find records of the time, Russell eventually took steps towards the library.
Because that was the best he could do right now.
This happened when there was only about a week left until the Magic Tower Association was held.
* * *
The one hosting the pagoda meeting held this time is Changtap.
At the entrance to the social gathering hall personally selected by the owner of the Spear Tower, a wizard shouted loudly.
“Lord of the Flame Tower, Daria Snowwhite has arrived!”
A voice filled with magical power.
The sound wave that started from the outside of the social venue along with the shout spread evenly to the inside of the social venue.
As if that wasn’t enough, it created strange waves and spread out like an echo.
In this way, this voice would be heard no matter where you were in the social gathering.
An excellent move that did not use special magic, but rather used the properties of magical power.
But there was something more surprising than that number.
It was the skill of the wizard standing at the entrance.
‘The 5th Circle wizard is only responsible for guarding the entrance?’
Russell held his tongue for a moment at the absurd sight, but soon he was convinced.
Indeed, this is a meeting attended by tower owners.
The minimum qualification to become the owner of a magic tower is to reach the 6th circle.
To put it another way, it means that among the top owners attending today, there is no one who has not made it to the 6th circle.
Of course, not all 6th Circle wizards built towers.
‘The more things you have to worry about as a tower owner, the less time you can devote to yourself.’
Wizards who didn’t want that didn’t build a tower.
Nevertheless, the current reality is that about half of the 6th circle wizards have built their own towers.
It was clear that it would have its own merits.
The echo twists and turns a few times, and then it grunts.
The door opened with a heavy sound, revealing the inside.
A round table provided so that all tower owners can sit.
Four chairs in the colors of red, blue, white, and yellow are arranged as if dividing the edge of the round table into quarters.
‘Perhaps that is where the tower owners of the four major magic towers of the capital sit.’
Passengers were sitting in two of them.
They were the magic tower lords who sat in the seats of the Emperor and the Qing, respectively.
Sitting alone, neither of them were accompanied by a student this time.
“okay. “I knew you would come this time.”
The owner of the window tower, an old man with a body as thin as an old tree, looks at Daria and Russell alternately and opens his mouth.
“There is a reason to come, so you should come.”
As if responding to those words, Daria patted Russell on the shoulder and giggled.
It was immediately after that that the old man sitting in the yellow chair got up.
“It’s been a while since I saw you. Seniors.”
His appearance is reminiscent of an Eastern monk, with one eye covered in an eyepatch.
It was Hwangtapju, Niccolo Machiavelli.
Daria clicked her tongue in disgust at him.
“I told you not to call me senior with that face?”
“haha. What should I do? “You should call your senior “Senior.”
As the saying goes, Daria, who had a middle-aged appearance on the outside, looked much younger.
As for Daria’s actual age, she was seven years older than him.
“Tsk.”
Daria clicked her tongue as if to say something, looking around at the other seats that had not yet been filled.
“But everyone came early.”
“Anyway, isn’t this an event held on a rotating basis at the Magic Tower of our royal capital? I just came out early to greet the guests. “There’s no need to boast about being the central magic tower lord.”
“For that matter, I can’t see White?”
The answer came from Hwangtapju.
“We heard that a major typhoon is approaching the western part of the White Tower, so we departed yesterday after receiving a request from the royal family for cooperation in order to reduce the damage.”
Among the four attributes, the symbol of the White Pagoda is wind.
And wind magic was closely related to meteorology.
“Well, it’s summer soon, so it’s time for Hayang to be very busy.”
Daria smiled in understanding at Hwangtapju’s explanation.
He sat down in his seat and introduced Hwang Tapju to Russell.
“So, this is your first time here, right? Say hello. That hairless guy is Hwang Tapju. “Niccolò Machiavelli.”
“her. Seniors. Even though I shaved my head myself, it hurts me when you say that.”
Contrary to the words he muttered as if he was disappointed, he had an expression that seemed completely indifferent.
“Junior, Russell Raymond meets Lord Hwangtap.”
He smiled proudly at Russell’s greeting.
“You are the friend of the rumor. McRae Hughes. “You said he came back after cutting off the head of his disciple, Spandom, right?”
The moment the name of the Empire’s superman ‘McRye Hughes’ was mentioned.
It was no mistake that I could hear the blueness in his otherwise calm voice.
A voice mixed with anger.
Daria explained why.
“He owes a debt to McLye Hughes. He might have died if I hadn’t helped him. “Giggle.”
Words that at first glance could have stimulated pride.
Nevertheless, Nicolo smiled.
A sharp smile, as if recalling the defeat of the previous day.
He took off the blindfold covering one eye.
He said, showing off the long sword and artificial eyes located inside.
“haha. You’ve done it once, you won’t do it a second time. Seniors.”
Grumble.
As soon as the words end, the ground trembles slightly.
It was as if it was responding to his emotions.
‘This person is Hwangtapju…’ … .’
One of the top three wizards in the kingdom.
A sage of the earth who has surpassed the barrier of the 7th circle, which is called a superhuman, and is currently evaluated as possibly approaching the 8th circle.
“Anyway, thanks to you, I feel refreshed for the first time in a while.”
Hopefully, I will continue to bring you exciting news often.
After saying that, Hwangtapju laughed.
Diraa and the Spear Tower owner turned their heads at the same time.
“It seems to be coming soon.”
“That’s right.”
I feel a huge figure approaching from outside the door.
Sensing the presence of not one but many, the window tower owner prepared to welcome the guests.
“Roen Blue Tower… … .”
“The magic tower lord of the Caliburn Tower… … .”
The magic tower owners who attended the magic tower meeting.
And their disciples.
The gathering of stars that Russell had never even thought of, let alone attended, was beginning in earnest.
