Episode 180
Wizard’s Tower.
One of the few independent self-governing organizations on the continent that operates independently of the state.
It exists for the rights and profits of wizards.
In a similar place, there is the ‘Vatican’, which worships the main god Frelia.
If the Wizard’s Tower and the Holy See are the two largest heads on the continent.
Below, only the armed cavalry gathered
There are also armed groups such as the mercenary group ‘Winged Hussars’ and the assassin group ‘Muyeongdan’ who will kill anyone for money.
What all of these groups have in common is that they are all large powers that can compete with quite a few kingdoms.
The point is that it checks the monopoly of one state power over everything and strives to maintain that balance.
Unfortunately, the ‘Wizard’s Tower’ was one of the most politically charged organizations.
Flame King Theron, Crown Prince of the Lynak Empire
This is because while claiming to be his godfather, he also took on the role of ‘guardian’ of the empire.
“The tower owner’s personal opinion is an important part of deciding the direction of the magic tower. This is because all wizards in the magic tower must follow the wishes of the tower owner. Therefore, ‘political interests’ should not be calculated based on the tower owner’s personal views. “Someday, problems like this are bound to arise.”
Mr. Stray Cat said that from this perspective, I was the perfect ‘right person’.
“The candidate was not swayed by any temptation of gold or power, so
“That’s right.”
With that laughter behind us, we stood in front of the Wizard’s Tower in the Kingdom of Rhedian.
Compared to Leverdine’s Wizard’s Tower, it may be very small and shabby.
Here, a new history begins.
When all of our group tried to enter the magic tower, Mr. Stray Cat blocked our way.
“I’m sorry, but your group cannot go inside. “The only person who can enter the verification position is the candidate.”
“Oh, I see.”
Ruina and Irene.
And, both Lord Bolvar and Mr. Narmer said they would wait in the capital.
I was dissuaded by the fact that the verification period could take anywhere from a week to several weeks.
“young master. Really, do you mind if we go down first?”
“yes. I think that would make me feel at ease too. “Please go down to Ardel first.”
“Like you said, King Yeom might be plotting something suspicious… … “Yes, I will.”
It is said that Flame King Theron’s entire body was pierced by the swords of the eight-star knights of the Rai Inak Empire who protected the crown prince.
No matter how great the archmage was, he was allowed to hit many critical points where death could never have been avoided.
In the end, he escaped alive.
He is currently being chased by the crown prince’s knights, and has suffered fatal wounds comparable to death, so he may disappear for a while… … .
There is nothing wrong with being prepared.
If Lord Bolvar and Mr. Narmer go down to Ardel first, I will feel at ease.
“Well, next time we meet… … . Will the title change? To ‘Toplord’?”
I shook my head in response to Mr. Narmer’s playful question, who had barely gotten used to being called ‘Master’.
“no. “The person I am will never change.”
“Thank goodness. “I also liked the title ‘Master.’”
“Thank you for helping me like it was your own business.”
“I was truly grateful that I was able to repay the favor, even if just a little.”
I patted Ruina’s head and smiled.
“Ruina, I’ll be down soon.”
“••••••Hing.”
Ruina looked like she couldn’t bear to say goodbye to me, but she nodded when I said she would come down as soon as things were settled here.
I’m training hard in swordsmanship.
You can’t have a secret relationship with that hair loss article without your brother knowing?
The last greeting was Irene.
“… … are you okay?”
“Yes, for now.”
She was shocked by the fact that Flame King Theron, whom she thought of as her ‘teacher’, turned out to be a ‘demon’ serving the demons.
It was transformed into ‘anger’ and a promise for the future.
“When we meet again, I will definitely ask. Like ‘Doom Prime’. “Were you planning on making all 11 of us ‘Mine’?”
“Yes, of course.”
I also wanted to ask.
What was Flame King Theron’s real purpose?
I wonder if we should really believe in such absurd stories as the 13th Legion and the Demon God.
However, now is not the time to hear the answer to that question.
“Candidate. The 10 highest members of the Magic Tower are waiting inside. Would you like to come in?”
Everyone left the capital and set off for Ardel.
The remaining person is Strang.
She simply transformed into a ‘baby bear’ and settled on my shoulder, and I said to Mr. Stray Cat.
“Yes, let’s go.”
I entered the wizard’s tower.

“Ruin-kun. No, now I should call you candidate, right?”
U W
It was a playful question, but the dean’s face was full of concern.

Although he was very wary of that strength, he also heard bad news about ‘King Yeom’, who was also an old friend.
I am the highest member of the Mage Tower of the Radian Kingdom.
He smiled bitterly at the Dean.
Ten top committee members, including the dean, gathered together.
“Now that everyone is here, let’s begin the ‘qualification verification’ of the next top owner. Before that, I would like to briefly introduce the top committee members who will be conducting the verification.”
After Mr. Stray Cat made me stand in the middle of the round table, he began introducing the top committee members gathered in a circle.
Lynak Empire, Oyota of the Desert, Spear
Paltheon of the Dukes, Holy Principality of Frelia, Mazeros Sea, Snow Country (Eisen Hour), Iron Manor Maetel, East Forest.
Lastly, there is Perna, an anti-nation that is in conflict with the Reinak Empire.
A total of 10 people.
They were the highest members of the Magic Tower of the 10 countries or federations on the continent.
They are all ‘Class 7’ wizards, and I must pass their verification.
“Hmm. Ruin Ardel. Shin Ye-ji, who won the Daejejeon. The rumor is that it’s great
I know… … . “I was a student at the academy until last year, so maybe I’m too young.”
“Does it matter that I was a student until last year? The fact that he reached class 8 at just 17 years old is significant.”
“I can’t say for sure that I’ve reached class 8 yet. “Because I couldn’t see it in person.”
“There are already people everywhere who have seen Meteor. It’s not just a rumor. “It is clear that the candidate can use class 8 magic.”
“But I won’t make any conclusions until I see it with my own eyes.”
Except for the Chief Commissioner of ‘East Forest’, whose face is completely hidden by his robe.
All members freely exchanged opinions with each other.
I calmly listened to each of their opinions, and was able to clearly find out who was hesitant or opposed to voting for me.
‘6 people agreed, 3 abstained, 1 person opposed… … . It fits perfectly.’
The owner of the 1 dissenting vote is the Lynark Empire.
The vice-pagoda chief was a humorous-looking old man who attended on behalf of Flame King Theron.
He, who is King Yeom’s legacy, has always been opposing me with the excuse that I am too young.
The three abstentions were top members of Snow Country Eisenhour, Iron Manor Maetel, and East Forest, respectively.
They were all top committee members from the region located in the northernmost part of the continent, and they were hesitant because they did not easily encounter the name ‘Ruin Ardel’.
‘Yes, this is it.’
I had no intention of changing the minds of even one opponent.
The goal was to change the votes of the three abstentions to ‘agree’ and obtain a nearly unanimous vote of 9 to 1.
“Next, I will introduce you to the candidate.”
Mr. Stray Cat began to rhyme to introduce himself.
“He is a wizard from the Kingdom of Rhedian, and as everyone knows, he won the grand festival last year. In addition, he has a history of winning gladiator competitions in Esperanaza, which is known for being rough, and Lina
“You once prevented an attack by ogres in Tesiran of the Empire Federation.”
“… … Gladiator competition? “Are you saying the wizard went to a gladiatorial contest?”
“no. “For more details, the candidate will tell you, but he won with only ‘cheeseul’.”
“I heard about martial arts at the grand festival last year. “A wizard who uses his fists.”
“What does it mean that we just got rid of an attack by ogres in Tethyran? Chief Commissioner Reinark. say it instead
“Look.”
“..Well, I heard the story too.
I was excited. I remember hearing it without much interest… …
They started talking about a central rescue room even before the full-scale ‘verification’.
Things like Ardel’s ‘Battle of Clearing the Crimson Plains’ were excluded because they were very personal achievements.
The story of Esperanaza’s gladiator competition and the story of preventing an ogre attack in Tesiran were enough to pique their interest.
My age, only 17 years old.
This is because most of them are young, having just graduated from magic school, starting as the youngest wizards, and even before they begin their full-fledged activities.
And, they even knew the story that happened in ‘Derinkuyu’.
The supreme council member of ‘Paltheon’, located in close proximity to the Crossroads, spoke.
“I think everyone is aware that the underworld ‘Derinkuyu’ has recently collapsed. By the way, I came across one interesting piece of information about it.
“What is that?”
“I caught a thief who was operating under the fake name ‘Lux’ in Derinkuyu, and he said that he personally saw the collapse of Derinkuyu. According to him, a very young male wizard destroyed the entire Derinkuyu with his immense power… …
“Isn’t it just too easy to believe what a thief says?”
“yes. I didn’t completely believe it either… …
Paltheon’s Supreme Council member’s eyes turned to me.
She, a female wizard with a very slender appearance, asked me.
“It’s too much to just dismiss it as a made-up story… … Exactly, I thought it was about the candidate. “Can you please answer this?”
Are you really saying that you brought down Derinkuyu by yourself?
Bringing up old stories will only bring out old dust.
This is a place to evaluate all the ‘qualities’ I have.
Every piece of old dust is a score.
It might play a decisive role in changing their minds.
I looked at them one by one and opened my mouth that had been tightly shut.
“Uhm, is it my turn to speak now?”
Okay, it’s my turn.
I said with a grin.
“Let me greet you for the first time. The only tower owner candidate for the Wizard’s Tower. Ruin are
“This is Dell.”
Everyone, nice to meet you.
