Episode 59
EPISODE.30
Little by little, as time goes by.
The tower owners who attended the tower owners’ meeting showed themselves one by one.
“Nugeleon Blue Tower… … .”
“Of the Imperial Tower of Achaeos… … .”
The name of the magic tower they belong to echoes throughout the hall.
Then, the owners of the magic tower who entered the hall noticed the passengers who had entered first and turned a blind eye to them.
The owner of the four major magic towers of the royal capital.
I bowed my head towards three of them.
“haha. See you again like this. Long time no see. Seniors.”
“Lord of the Spear Tower, Lord of the Flame Tower, Lord of the Yellow Tower. long time no see.”
“I can’t see the Lord of the White Tower, so it seems like something is up.”
Some of them noticed Russell sitting next to Daria.
“Oh, this young man is the one of the rumors…” … .”
“You seem like a smart young man. “He’s probably just as talented as he looks on the outside.”
The compliments continued one after another.
Although the words and rhetoric changed slightly, they were generally compliments with similar meanings.
‘No matter how good a food is, you get sick of it if you eat it multiple times.’
How much different would it be if it were a compliment?
Contrary to what I thought when I turned around, the corner of Daria’s mouth touched my earlobe, and I didn’t know it was going to come down.
‘I guess not.’
Far from being tired, the face looks very satisfied and happy.
After all, isn’t he a person with a lot of talent?
‘Because that was the reason you attended the tower owner’s meeting in the first place.’
The real problem was Russell himself.
As I listened to the compliments being poured towards me, I felt like my face was getting hot.
I wondered if this was what it felt like to have my face painted with gold.
‘It’s a little different, but it’s roughly similar. Anyway.’
The warm atmosphere continued for a while, and after a while.
“The magic tower lord of the Red Tower of Antigol-.”
A voice rang out, breaking the atmosphere.
“-Blaine Trilogy and… … .”
A shout announcing the appearance of a new character.
The atmosphere in the hall changed completely.
.
.
“and… … .”
Afterwards, a fairly long introduction followed.
It seemed like it was because several people were entering together.
However, no one paid attention to the introduction.
The attention of those in the room had long since focused on the name that was first called.
Blaine Trilogy.
“That’s ridiculous.”
“… … .”
“The biggest embarrassment of the pagoda club is having to see that raccoon-like old man’s face again. “I don’t like it.”
Tsk.
The owner of the window tower, Hemingway Melville, muttered that and clicked his tongue.
Daria took the word.
I swallowed the candy in my mouth and answered.
“It’s been a while since I felt inspired and connected.”
It was a giggling sound, but the eyes were somewhat fierce.
With those eyes, some pieces of information he had heard a long time ago quickly flashed into Russell’s mind.
Before returning to the past, information I heard from the future that has not yet arrived.
‘Blaine Trilogy.’
Russell didn’t know much about him.
But it was enough to infer the current situation.
‘He is the head of the Arcane Magic Tower and the archmage of the 7th circle.’
A talented person who is still active despite being over 90 years old.
and-.
‘The lineage is different, so he just couldn’t become the owner of the Four Great Magic Towers.’
A monster whose skills are evaluated to be comparable to that of Niccolo Machiavelli, the king of the Yellow Tower, beyond the royal White Tower.
Of course, it is not simply for that reason that the atmosphere in the hall has changed.
Perhaps the most effective cause is -.
‘It’s probably because he is the leader of the anti-communist faction.’
Archduke Bismarck, the uncle of the current king.
Although he did not reveal it openly, he clearly had ambitions for the throne.
Those who support him are the anti-communist faction.

Blaine was the leader of the anti-aircraft faction.
He could not help but have an uncomfortable relationship with Hemingway, Daria, and Nicolo, who belonged to the pro-king faction.
at that time.
Cough ugh.
The door opens and a heavy sound rings out.
Beyond that, the Blaine Trilogy appeared.
‘That person is the Blaine Trilogy.’
He was an impressive old man with white hair neatly combed back and a goatee.
Although he was holding a long staff like a cane, he looked so straight that it was hard to believe he was over 90 years old.
“hmm.”
After looking around the inside with a sigh, he slowly walked into the hall.
Following him, several magic tower owners came inside together.
They were the magic tower owners and their disciples who belonged to the same faction as Blaine.
It was Blaine who greeted me first.
“It’s been a while. Hemingway. and… … . Daria Snowwhite.”
Unlike other tower owners, he seemed to treat the two people poorly, but it didn’t matter.
In terms of seniority, he was about ten years older than me.
“It’s been a while. senior.”
Unlike Hemingway, who received the greeting with a calm expression, Daria expressed her discomfort without hesitation.
“I guess I came back again without dying. senior.”
A voice that reveals the feeling of being worthless without any filtering.
“!!!”
At that voice, the faces of those who followed Blaine crumpled fiercely.
Although he was pushed out of the circle, Blaine was a senior.
No matter how Daria is, it is not right to treat her like that.
“… … her!”
“He is sitting in a position called Yeomtapju, but… … .”
Just as some of those who thought so were about to shout out.
“stop.”
widely-.
Blaine stepped forward.
I tapped the floor with the tip of the staff.
I responded to Daria’s words by silencing them with a light move.
“haha. “What can we do when it is not yet time?”
“joy. “That damn time.”
Daria pouted her lips and grumbled, but did not say anything more after that.
In the end, it was the owner of the window who stepped forward to resolve the situation.
Although he felt uncomfortable with Blaine, he was the one who hosted the event.
“Okay then. “Almost everyone has arrived, and the time is running out.”
The only ones that are empty are a few seats that people couldn’t attend due to unforeseen circumstances.
Confirming that the owner is present in most seats -.
“I guess we can start the pagoda club now.”
-Announced the start of the Magical Tower Association.
It wasn’t that smooth.
It was the beginning of something that felt like an omen of trouble.
* * *
Although the start was a little turbulent, the pagoda meeting went more smoothly than expected.
Befitting the name of the Magic Tower Association.
It started with a discussion about the topics each magic tower owner was researching or the results of magic.
The moment the story began.
Russell was able to understand the reason why tower owners always accompany their students at least once.
‘Not only is the level deep, but it is also wide.’
Indeed, I thought this was the conversation of those sitting in the pagoda’s chair.
Russell tried to listen carefully to the entire discourse.
I concentrated my mind so as not to miss even a single detail.
Russell’s eyes sparkle and shine, and his desire for magic rises like a spring.
Daria smiled quietly at that sight.
‘It’s a good thing I brought the youngest. Giggling.’
You will not be able to use or apply the knowledge you gained here today right away.
Even if something like that happens, most of it is difficult to master at Russell’s current level.
However. nevertheless.
‘If you accumulate it one by one, it will be of great help in the coming moments.’
Even if he didn’t have enough talent and could only grab a few convenient items, that was still enough income.
and.
From a little distance away, there was a person looking at Russell with a strange look.
The magic tower lord of the Cargo Red Tower, Akairum.
As Blaine’s student, he was the owner of that gaze.
.
.
No matter how deep a well is, if you keep digging, the bottom will eventually appear.
The same was true for research topics and discourse on magic.
Was it because the conversation had already continued for nearly four hours?
Before we knew it, the number of tower owners talking had significantly decreased.
There were also some people who quietly exchanged stories about their daily lives and current affairs.
‘I guess that’s it for now.’
Feeling the atmosphere slowly fading, Russell ate his appetite.
I wish this could last a few more hours, but that would be greed.
‘The income I have earned so far is quite significant.’
I even opened a notebook and took notes.
When I return, I already have a lot of work to do.
It was then.
“Hmm. Rather… … .”
One of the tower owners looked at Russell and opened his mouth.
Everyone focused their attention by clearing their throats as if they were watching.
“When will you introduce the new disciple you have brought in? “Lord Flametap.”
Around the time when the pagoda meeting was about to begin.
One of the magic tower owners who came in after Blaine.
As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the hall were focused on Russell.
Daria responded.
“joy. “I’ve researched everything I need to know, so what’s the introduction?”
A voice that doesn’t hide its roughness.
The owner who first spoke in that voice lowered his head with a shy expression.
But interest in Russell had only just begun.
“Isn’t he the rumored young man who brought down that crazy spandom? “It is a new star.”
“Even though you couldn’t break the wall, you still defeated an Exped-level strongman.”
Exped class auror practitioner.
A strong man also known as a master.
“When I first heard the rumor, I was so surprised that I thought it was exaggerated.”
“No problem. “It was a rumor that reflected the childhood of the heroes in old stories.”
Rumors, rumors, rumors.
The same words were repeated over and over again.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Russell curled his fist under the desk.
I don’t like gold paint on my face, but the atmosphere seemed to flow strangely like this.
What Russell felt inside was a strange sense of discomfort.
It seems like a compliment, but it’s not a compliment… … .
‘Wind catcher.’
It’s a feeling of discomfort that Russell also noticed.
There was no way she couldn’t feel it just because she was Daria.
That’s why Daria lightly tapped the round table with her palm.
match-.
A wave of magic power starts from the palm and spreads throughout the round table.
Wooooow.
“Don’t keep going in circles. If there’s something you want to say, say it right away.”
A fiery but direct way of speaking and eyes that seem to give a shit about formalities and etiquette.
Although the factions were different, they were not unaware of Daria’s personality when she was young.
The bodies of those who spoke for the first time trembled.
maybe-.
‘The role of the wind catcher probably ends here.’
As Russell expected, after the wind catcher’s momentum faded. There was someone who stepped forward.
Akairum is Blaine’s disciple and the owner of the Cargo Magic Tower.
It was him.
“haha. “They simply wanted to see their student’s skills with their own eyes.”
“You just wanted to see it with your own eyes?”
Daria chuckled at those words. He looked back at the tower owners belonging to the anti-communist faction and their students and recited.
“So, which of your students will be our youngest partner?”
He showed an unfiltered look in his eyes that was not funny at all.
Russell’s skills, known to the public, are in the mid-4th circle.
In comparison, most of their students had skills of late 3rd circle or early 4th circle.
Not only was his ability one step ahead, but he even studied under Daria.
“Kuhum.”
“Hmm.”
They secretly avoided eye contact and cleared their throats.
The person who answered those words was also Akairum.
“What about my youngest priest?”
He got up from his seat and continued talking while staring at the man sitting next to Blaine.
“It just so happens that my priest, Jeron, faced a wall a few weeks ago.”
“Oh, you mean… … ?”
Some anti-aircraft tower owners made a fuss when they heard that they were facing a wall.
Was it the reaction you wanted?
Akairum placed his hand on his priest’s shoulder with a happy expression.
“It may be a little lacking compared to crazy spandom, but what do you think? “We happen to be of similar age.”
When told that we are similar in age, Hwang Tapju.
Niccolo Machiavelli stuck out his tongue.
“It’s not like they’re similar. Even if you just look at it at face value, it’s probably twice the difference.”
A voice muttered softly.
However, among those sitting in the seats, there was not a single one who could not hear the sound.
It has to be that way.
Because that’s what I told you to hear in the first place.
However, despite this, Akairum’s face did not change at all.
It’s a face that gives off a feeling of not only shamelessness but also stubbornness.
It’s starting to come out so shamelessly…
‘I guess he’s going to keep his face until the end.’
When Russell thought so, Daria asked him.
“What do you think? “You’re the youngest.”
A green translucent window appeared.
[mission]
… … .
There is no particularly noticeable reward, but it is a chance to increase your magic power by obtaining magic stones.
There was no reason to refuse.
