I’m the only magic tower owner Chapter 74

I’m the only magic tower owner episode 074

A few days have passed since I became a certified hunter.

Finally, the potion-making golem, the core of the ‘potion mass production system’, was 100% completed. Of course, it is an upgraded version that also adds the ability to deal with variables.

Now, just give a command and the golem will turn on the fire in the cauldron, magically process the ingredients, stir them with a ladle to make the potion, and complete the final packaging.

When the golem completes the preparation work, Ea floats the finished potion product and puts it into the warehouse on the first floor.

And early in the morning, Jin Jin-ra goes to our ‘dummy factory’ on the research foundation site and takes out the completed potions through subspace. Then, fill the empty space with the delivered potion ingredients.

Afterwards, a transport company comes to the factory, picks up the finished potion, and transports it to the store on Hunter Street.

All procedures were perfect. After several trial runs, we finally opened the first ‘Alchemia’ store on Hunter Street.

First of all, there is only one item for sale: low-level red elixir.

Although it is a potion with the lowest recovery rate among elixirs, there was no problem in recovering licensed players or players with relatively low stamina abilities.

The market’s reaction to the emergence of potions was naturally explosive.

Jin Jin-ra stopped by the store and showed the situation through a video call, and there was a long, long line in front of the store.

They were all players who had come to purchase our potions. Because supplies were limited, potions were limited to a maximum of 5 bottles per person.

“Ugh! Senior! Are we going to be rich now?!”

Jinbo, who was taking a video, was so overcome with emotion that she made a fuss.

Thanks to the advantage of being able to treat injuries quickly on the spot, the potion was selling like crazy. Since it also has the association’s research foundation certification mark, reliability is also secured.

In addition, stable income from hunting grounds in Paju.

‘With this, the Magic Tower has now entered a state of complete stability.’

I said that and flopped down on the desk.

This is the main study on the second floor of the Magic Tower.

Books were piled around like a tower. These are all records of the disaster in Erendel.

‘Ugh, I’m tired.’

I rubbed my eyes and flipped through the book.

After experiencing this labyrinth dungeon incident, I became more alert. Because this country I live in was really close to collapsing. I can’t sit idle any longer. I felt the need to thoroughly investigate future disasters.

So Jin Jin-ra and Eun-sol focused on the potion part, and Ea and Seo-jin Jeong were spending most of their time on the second floor these days collecting information about the trials.

‘I’m feeling sleepy.’

Just as I was yawning, a bright cluster of lights gathered in the air and Ea appeared.

“Topju. I brought you something to drink.”

Indeed, like the best AI assistant in human history, it immediately caught the thought that I was tired and appeared with a drink on a tray.

However, there is one thing that is disappointing.

“I don’t like perilla leaf soup anymore!”

It means I can’t cook.

Ea said with a serious expression.

“Correction. It is not perilla leaf soup, but perilla leaf mojito. We demand an immediate retraction of the statement.”

“Either that or that!”

“I heard that a husband who complains about side dishes is divorced.”

“Is that the same as this? Are you actually planning to poison me?”

Ea said with a soft smile.

“It doesn’t make any sense that he was poisoned. The secretary used to drink a lot.”

… … That’s just because of the power of love.

Jeong Jeong-jin, this bastard, you keep telling me that it’s delicious, so he keeps making it.

“That poisonous vessel. If you don’t mind, let me drink it.”

They say that even tigers will come if you tell them, and Jeong Seo-jin suddenly appeared, holding a glass of EA’s perilla leaf mojito in his hand.

“If it’s a sweet poisonous pear like this, you won’t have any regrets even if you drink it and die.”

The guy who even uttered a line that made his hands and feet cringe so much that he felt like he was going to be destroyed simply poured the perilla leaf mojito into his mouth.

Ugh.

Watching that guy take one shot reminds me of the taste of perilla leaves and makes me feel nauseous.

“Secretary. How did this drink taste?”

In response to EA’s question, Jeong Seo-jin held on to the frame of his glasses and spoke.

“It tasted lovely.”

I wish someone would shut his mouth.

“Now that I think about it, Mr. Ea, have you seen Chanmyeon’s Instagram that was posted today? This post was also really nice.”

“Affirmative. As expected, I think Captain Kim Chan-myeon’s cheeks sinking in when he smiles is an element of virtue.”

“This time, Jinwoo and my kids took a poster advertising sunscreen, and they were so eager to buy it.”

“I wanted it too. A homunculus doesn’t need sunscreen.”

… … I don’t know if this is the magic tower or the girls’ high school.

They were two people who freely exchanged words that were used in any fan cafe.

“Seojin.”

“yes.”

“Were you interested in Exio too?”

Jeong Seo-jin raised his glasses and answered.

“Exio is basic cultural knowledge.”

This guy has finally become a man of taste.

“Ha, that’s it. Any records about the disaster?”

“That’s almost all the general stuff, but.”

“but?”

“I have something to report to you. Well, I guess it would be quicker to show you this in person.”

We followed Jeong Seo-jin up the stairs of the main study. The higher you go, the older books appear.

While I was preoccupied with the books, Jeong Seo-jin, who was walking ahead, stopped and said.

“Here we go.”

Here, small rooms were placed at regular intervals. Of course, the door was tightly closed, and a magic circle was drawn in the center of the door.

“Ah, this is what you said before…”

“That’s right. This is where the most secret books in the main library are kept. It’s a sealed library. Since you visited the second floor, I wanted to show you this.”

In the main study, there were a total of five rooms with locks like this.

And the magic circle’s lock consists of a password puzzle. A sanctuary that not only homunculi and second-floor managers, but also magic tower lords, can’t touch.

Due to the structure of the magic tower, which is a special alloy, it was impossible to break through the door and enter, so one had to solve the puzzle of the magic circle.

There were chairs and piles of books scattered nearby, as if Jeong Seo-jin had already tried to unlock it.

“Just as the tower owner is challenging the next floor’s ordeal, I think this is the second floor manager’s own ‘trial.’ As I actually solved the puzzle, my ability level increased considerably.”

At those words, I tilted my head.

“Ability level also increases? Like killing monsters?”

“Of course, Topju.”

Ea answered instead.

“All administrators grow by performing their duties in the magic tower. It is the same as when a tower owner conducts magic research on the 9th floor or a potion brewer’s ability level increases quickly when he or she prepares a potion.”

no wonder. These days, I thought my magic power level had increased a lot.

“To continue the explanation, the puzzle was designed so that it could be solved only after reading all the books in a certain field. It was as if we were testing the knowledge and amount of information of the second floor manager.”

“It’s difficult. It takes a long time to read all the books in one field…”

“First of all, I have read almost all the books required by the puzzle.”

I looked at Jeong Jeong-jin with the eyes of a ghost.

“How can you read a book while working outside?”

“Thanks to my information processing characteristics, I am now able to read quickly. After work, I come to the Magic Tower and read whenever I have time.”

You’re probably the only one who uses his Iron Man powers to avoid sleeping.

“And yet you couldn’t solve that?”

“Yes. I thought I had enough reading, but there were some parts I just couldn’t solve.”

“I’ll take a look.”

I cannot give up if I think that the key to unlocking the secrets of this world lies within it. I bent down and looked at the puzzle Jeong Jeong had solved.

It was a system for arranging six-character letters by finding certain rules.

“But the progress has been pretty good?”

“I found some answers through sentence placement.”

Jeong Seo-jin opened his notebook and showed the part he had solved.

“This is the first answer I came up with. If you read it phonetically, it’s ‘exigo nahata’. I don’t know what this means…”

I opened my eyes wide.

“white night.”

“yes?”

“It means midnight sun. A phenomenon where the sun does not set even at night.”

“How could that…”

“I saw this in the labyrinth dungeon. This is the language of the monsters that made up that dungeon.”

Jeong Seo-jin suddenly got up from his seat.

“Then please take a look at this book too!”

We solved the hints one by one. When Jeong Seo-jin pointed out a point, EA brought the corresponding book and I interpreted it.

Jeong Seo-jin, excited to get the answer from an unexpected place, took out a pen and notebook and started writing like crazy.

So time passed.

“Solved. Six digits from the first letter of each sentence. If you change this to Erendel language…”

Jeong Seo-jin typed ‘secret outside the door’ in Erendel. OK.

Coo thump!

The door really opened.

We cheered and high-fived.

“Let’s go in.”

“okay.”

I never thought the language of the dungeon would be the solution. I entered the room possessed by a strange sense of tension.

I had the feeling that this was definitely a place where dangerous books were stored. The book was not placed on a bookshelf, but on a shelf with a special effect magic circle.

I walked to the most dangerous-looking book in the middle. Sparks crackled from the magic circle.

“If you just touch this, an electric current won’t flow, right?”

“It’s okay, Topju.”

Emboldened by Ea’s words, I reached for the book. Fortunately, I was able to touch the book by passing the electric current without any particular problem, whether I had permission or not. I took out the book and looked at the title.

-Record of destruction.

“Oooh…….”

It’s a big deal from the beginning. Even though the books here are different, is there really something different about them?

I quickly turned the pages and skimmed through them.

“uh……?”

This book was a record of a single disaster.

Jeong Seo-jin quickly ran next to me and read out loud the part I had stopped reading.

“Estimated rank 11 irregular boss monster ‘Nemesis’.”

“……Rank 11, I’ve never heard of it.”

Monsters are divided into ranks 1 to 9 depending on the amount of magical power they possess.

There is no significant power difference between rank 1 and rank 4 monsters, and regular licensed players can deal with them.

From level 5 onwards, the level of monsters changes drastically, and hunting permission is lost from level 5 onwards.

Rank 6 is certified level 4.

Rank 7 is certified level 3.

Rank 8 is certified level 2.

At rank 9, hunting permission is given to certified level 1 people.

But rank 11?

Who on earth is going to catch this?

Jeong Seo-jin, who was reading a book, stroked his forehead.

“If something like this comes down to Earth, it won’t just end with a few continents sinking.”

This disaster was truly destruction.

Nemesis, an 11th rank Irregular, is a disaster where something called the ‘Tower of Destruction’, which creates monsters, keeps falling on Earth.

It seems that Erendel was destroyed by this disaster.

Although the exact time was not given, it is highly likely that this disaster will occur on Earth as the Erendel disaster is being replicated on Earth according to the law of OverLay.

we.

No, can humanity prevent this disaster?

“How much time is left until Nemesis?”

“I was thinking of looking into it now, but it will happen in at least 10 years.”

I discovered a huge secret.

I handed the book over to Jeong Seo-jin and then looked at Ea and said.

“We need to change our policy a little bit.”

“Please tell me, Tower owner.”

“We will accelerate the schedule for revealing the Magic Tower to the public. And we will share information about future disasters with each country.”

If things continue like this, the Earth will be destroyed within 10 years, and we must change its fate in order to survive.

Those who know have responsibility.

Someone has to do it.

‘Yes, someone.’

My right eye was throbbing. I pressed the wise man’s eyes with my palms.

“By the way, tower owner.”

“……why?”

“How do you plan to share disaster information with each country?”

After thinking for a moment, I smiled and said.

“Why don’t we make another character?”

“yes?”

“Something like a potion ability. This time, um… should I say I’m a prophet?”

Jeong Seo-jin and Ea looked at each other with puzzled eyes.
