All Power Wizard Episode 208
“Next, there will be an oath of loyalty to the newly appointed tower owner.”
The Wizard’s Tower Pledge of Allegiance was held at Deltagon in Ardel.
Delta Gone has a 7-story tower in the center and is divided into 10 pentagon-shaped sections around the central tower.
It is so large that it can accommodate hundreds of people at once.
I could have done it.
I stood on the podium in front of the ceremony hall, where various events of the Magic Tower were held.
At the front, representatives from various countries, including their Royal Highnesses the Twin Kings, gathered to celebrate.
After that, about 500 wizards of more than 6 classes lined up.
“first! “There is only one owner of the Magic Tower.”
“first! “There is only one owner of the Magic Tower!”
“second.”
“second!”
“Do not make any idol other than the head of the tower.”
“Do not make any idols other than the tower owner!”
Pledge of allegiance.
The moment all of this is said out loud, it becomes an oath that magicians belonging to the Magic Tower must keep.
The top owner is Taeyang.
Be loyal to no one but the tower owner.
The tower owner’s word is law, and you should never doubt it.
It won’t happen.
In addition, the ritual ends with the recitation of the Magic Tower’s basic principles, such as neutrality, protection, and exploration.
Whether I pledge loyalty or not, I am already the owner of the tower and this may seem like a very formality.
It was said that this was an important ritual that should never be missed in the Wizard’s Tower.
This is because it is the moment when the ‘throne’, meaning the king of wizards, is transferred.
The wizards conducting the loyalty oath ceremony raised their staff upwards.
Ugh.
Then, the ‘seat of power’ that had been hidden behind the podium slowly rose upward and revealed itself.
At the appearance of the dazzling throne, a brief exclamation erupted from those around them.
‘That’s power.’
Wizard’s Tower A place where all powers gather together.
For the first time, the scene I saw through ‘Malerok’s Eyes’ on the 41st floor of the Academy passes through my mind.
That scene may be nothing more than a mere delusion.
The day of ‘the world I want to see’ has become today.
I decided to enjoy this day.
“Lord Tower. Please sit down.”
The throne was gently placed in front of me, and everyone gathered paid attention to my next move.
Although hundreds of eyes were watching me, I ascended to power without hesitation.
Although it was my first time sitting there, it didn’t feel particularly unfamiliar.
Rather, I leaned back against the throne that warmly embraced me as if it was welcoming me comfortably.
comfy.
As if it was my place from the beginning.
The wizards of the Magic Tower all fell to the ground and shouted loudly.
“See you, Tower Lord.”

After the pledge of allegiance was completed, a grand celebration banquet awaited.
“Tapju!”
“Great Emperor, did you come?”
“You should come! “He’s going to kill someone, so he should come!”
“We came too. The new head tower is truly stunning. “This long and strong body resembles the owner of the tower.”
“Lord Tower. “I sincerely congratulate you on your inauguration.”
“thank you.”
There were so many guests from all over the continent to congratulate me.
Well, the lights in Deltagon’s banquet hall didn’t go out all night long.
The banquet has already been going on for over 12 hours.
I was quite tired after greeting guests all day, but the star of the banquet couldn’t leave first.
I was encouraged by the news that a short vacation was planned once this schedule was over.
However, by the time the banquet was over.
A ‘gift’ that gave me strength just by hearing it was waiting for me.
“Lord Ruin!”
“Hey. “Why are you calling the tower owner’s name in vain?”
“Hmm, brother. I know it’s not polite, but… … . “Doesn’t the name ‘Topju’ feel too distant?”
“That’s true, but… …
Two men dressed in colorful robes depicting the sun bird, the national bird of the Redian Kingdom.
Croster Radian and Foster Radian.
We, His Royal Highnesses the Twin Kings.
I smiled brightly at them.
“Call it whatever you want. And, congratulations on the above.”

“Thank you.”
“Look at it, brother. “Lord Ruin also thinks it’s much friendlier when someone calls you by name.”
“Hmm. “Can I really call you by your name?”
“of course.”
They celebrated the good news in Ardel as if it were their own.
He even showed up with the ‘gift’ that had been announced in advance.
“I owe Lord Ruin a great deal because of the incident that happened in the capital the other day.”
“I don’t think it’s a debt. “Because I too was a citizen.”
“Still, shouldn’t you return the favor?”
“We may be busy, but please give us some time.”
What kind of gift is this to give you?
“All right.”
When I nodded, the twins also summoned my father, the lord of Ardel.
My father, who was uncomfortable because he was not used to such grand banquets, quickly entered the reception room.
He knelt down on one knee and paid respects to the new kings.
“I see you, Your Majesty.”
“Hehe, hurry up and sit down here.”
Like this, when father and son gathered together, their royal highnesses opened their mouths.
“I really thought a lot about what kind of gift I should give to my ‘Ardel.’”
“… … “Did you say Ardel, not Ruin?”
“I am indebted to Lord Ruin during this war to usurp the capital of the Lynark Empire, but if I go back further, when the warlocks of ‘Garyhill’ attacked the palace, isn’t it the same as being indebted to all of Ardel?”
It seemed like your Royal Highnesses had been thinking about this gift for a very long time.
“Money, land, fame… … . No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find an appropriate answer to what Ardel needed. I understand that Ardel’s financial situation has improved considerably recently, and its land is also one of the largest south of the capital, if you include South Mountain and other unexplored areas. “It’s an honor that goes without saying.”
“What does Ardel really need? We each thought about the answer to this question countless times. “In the end, I was able to find the answer.”
“Me and my brother. Both of them were thinking the same thing for a long time. Through opinions
“There was no problem with working.”
When the atmosphere was like this, I was able to guess what gift their Royal Highnesses were planning to give to Ardel.
The same goes for my father.
My father, who noticed the contents of the gift, shook his head and said.
“I’m sorry, but I cannot accept that gift.”
“you’re right. “I didn’t do this with the expectation of receiving a reward.”
“Please consider our position as well. “At that time, we were not in a good position to give proper compensation, but if we just let it go this time, what will people think of us?”
“but… …
“I’ve already decided. “I didn’t think about the answer to rejection.”
“I will borrow the emperor’s words just this once. “Let’s say no to rejection.”
It seemed as if their twin royalties had come with a purpose in mind.
No matter how much you tried to refuse, you could see that you were determined to leave the gift behind.
That decision was firm and unwavering.
“I will make Ardel independent from Radian.”
Independent.
Originally, all fiefdoms had independent power away from the king.
However, the concept of independence referred to here is different.
“We recognize Ardel as our ally and wish to make you our eternal allies.”
This means that the tax obligations owed to the Redians will be removed and recognized as a ‘nation’ under the name of Ardel.
This means that his father, Delrin Ardel, is no longer a lord but becomes the first leader of a new nation.
This means that I, too, am no longer a citizen of Radian.
One’s territory is not vested in a specific country, but rather becomes the subject.
Every lord has this dream.
It’s not something unfamiliar.
The empire already had numerous federal principalities under its control, and the number was so large that it was given the name ‘Federal Empire’.
There are also completely independent countries.
That is, the Holy Principality of Frelia.
Those who came together in the name of religion recently experienced a great tragedy with the collapse of the Vatican.
It has grown into a single ‘subject country’.
That opportunity also came to Ardel.
“If you keep Ardel in the kingdom, the benefits you will gain will be beyond imagination. The Head Tower has been built, it is growing into a center for east-west trade, and the vast southern coast is just a stone’s throw away. But the future of Lord Ruin and Ardel is more important to us than all these material calculations.”
“This is a decision we have made after careful consideration, so please do not reject our wishes.”
My father was silent, and I didn’t open my mouth either.
The decision-making authority lies with the father, the lord.
I will respect my father’s will.
My father looked at me blankly.
“Do you mind if I talk to your son for a moment?”
“Sure.”
Their Royal Highnesses left the room for a moment, and as soon as the door to the drawing room closed, my father spoke to me.
“Ruin. “This is beyond my decision.”
“yes?”
“If Ardel is to be reborn, it is because you, not me, must be the subject.”
“But I still…” …
“Yes, young. But you have proven yourself capable, and I know my vessel well. If you have to decide, it should be you, Lu, not me. This is the weight that ‘Ruin Ardel’ must bear.”
Taking his father’s place.
I thought it would happen someday, but that day came so soon.
I never thought it would come.
Therefore, it was not easy to answer.
However, my father seemed to have made up his mind.
“As a tower owner. As the leader of Ardel. “I believe you will lead this land better than anyone else while keeping your beliefs.”
“Imagine. Your legacies that will take root in this land for a long time.”
At my father’s words, I let out a deep breath and closed my eyes.
In Ardel, a small country estate where not many people know.
One year until it became the best trading city in the South.
And, I imagined how much bigger this Ardel would grow.
The imagination was so vast that it stretched out without knowing its end.
Branch and branch met.
The trunk grew thicker and thicker, and before we knew it, it had formed a huge forest.
my father asked.
“What do you see?”
The most magical city on the continent.
The greatest trading city on the continent.
The best on the continent… … .
I quietly opened my mouth with my eyes tightly closed.
“I see my family.”
“No matter how much I think about it, I still can’t completely replace my father.”
I opened my eyes.
Then, he held his father’s hand and said.
“But, I’ll try. I will relieve your father of his burden. So, please watch from the nearest side. “I’m still at the age where I need my father’s teachings.”
At my words, my father smiled faintly.
That smile was so warm, I couldn’t help but smile.
“As a member of Ardel. “I will help you until the end of my life.”
Ardel was reborn.
