I Raise a Skeleton Episode 198
The Tower (4)
The world of magic.
The 4th Matapju, Eloise.
The worst magic tower room ever.
and.
Byeong-o came to that room as if it were his own home.
“The answer has been decided.”
The old man who was watching muttered.
“This time it might be a bit difficult. Kekekeke, Bone-O’s true identity is the Magic Tower.”
That too.
Not just a magic wand.
It seems like a bit of a tough tower… … .
By the way, does the Magic Tower share something with other worlds’ Magic Towers?
That was highly likely.
The name of the world called the Magic World isn’t written for nothing.
Because there was an unusually large number of unidentified books piled up in the library.
“… … Ugh.”
Sunny grabbed her temples with both hands.
“The Four Great Tower Lords? The Magic World? What are all these? I only know one Tower Lord.”
ah.
That woman might not know that there are countless other worlds in the universe besides this one.
“And for the management target number one… … Caution? But this is in English?! Why is there English in it?”
I know.
[The Magic World.]
[Traces of the 4th Tower Master, ‘Eloise’.]
[Management target number 1.]
[Attention, the room of the legendary and worst magic tower lord of all time.]
Except for this letter, all the others are unidentified hieroglyphs.
Flutter!
Sunny turned the parchment nervously.
At that moment.
“Kkiiyak!”
He sat down, striking the parchment with a strange sound.
Anyone who sees it will be shocked.
“Why? What is it?”
I tilted my head and went to turn the parchment.
The English written on the back appeared to have been translated.
[-Sophia Silverstone-]
omg.
My body also became stiff.
If it’s Sophia Silverstone, what’s the name of the magic wand?
“… … ?”
Suddenly, I got goosebumps.
So are you saying that those letters were written by the top priest?
That’s not all.
A mysteriously colored light was flowing out from the name of the written tower.
“Oh, oh my god! What do we do!”
Sunny sat down and started to cry.
“I’m screwed, I’m screwed!”
“What’s wrong?”
“Those glowing letters! It’s basic alarm magic!”
“Alarm magic… …?”
“Yes, so what that means is that the fact that we’re here has already reached the ears of the Lord of the Tower. Aaaah, I shouldn’t have just followed you… … . I’m dead now.”
Beans, beans!
Sunny is self-harming by feeding honey to her own head.
I scratched my head.
“… … Is that enough to kill you?”
“Hey! Do you think I’m the only one who’s ruined? You’re ruined too! The rules of the Tower of Magic are strict! I don’t know who the professor is who invited you, but he can’t avoid responsibility, right? Even if he’s a professor, in front of the Lord of the Tower of Magic… … . What’s the point of explaining more? Damn it.”
“… … .”
If that’s true.
I felt a little sorry for Olena.
‘but.’
What if Bone-O’s previous life was the 4th Magic Tower Lord, ‘Eloise’?
That’s a different story.
Even though Matapju is a super hyper ranker, ranked 4th in the world.
Awakened Bone.
That is, if you can have a former magic tower master as your subordinate, you will be able to hold many cards.

Aside from strength.
This could be an opportunity for the rooftop to advance to the next level.
It may even be possible to obtain information from that vast book that has not been deciphered until now.
of course.
Sunny probably doesn’t care about that kind of thing.
“Shit, what do I do? Shit, think about it! Should I run away? Even if I fall without a parachute, if I come to my senses… … I’ll still die, right?!”
“… … Hmm, run away.”
I shook my head.
“I think it’s already too late… … ?”
At that moment.
Rattling!
I heard a noise outside.
“Ugh!”
Sunny froze in place, covering her mouth with both hands.
“… … .”
My heart sank, too.
A chill ran down my spine and the hair stood on end.
Even though I already knew who was outside… … I was overwhelmed by that tremendous energy.
‘Matapju… … .’
Yes, that’s right.
The owner of this building.
World’s 4th ranked hunter.
Sophia Silverstone was coming in from outside.
* * *
The appearance of the rooftop tower had not changed.
Platinum blonde hair.
Pure white skin.
Eyes as blue as the sea.
And a powerful energy that makes the hairs on your body stand on end.
“Oh, oh, oh, oh Lord… …!”
dump!
Sunny sat down with her legs loosened.
“I’m sorry! I… … It wasn’t because I was scared by that black fox mask… … It wasn’t… … Actually, I think I lost my mind for a moment because I was curious. Oh! I’m sorry.”
Thud, thud.
The gaze of the slowly walking Matapju was not directed at Sunny.
She stared at me intently.
“Hello, long time no see?”
And then he smiled faintly.
A soft smile forms at the corners of the lips.
But her eyes are not smiling.
It was a curious expression.
How could I be here?
How did you know about the secret passage to the hidden tower?
“… … .”
I took off my mask, showing respect to the strong.
“It’s been a while, Lord Matap.”
He continued speaking, bowing his head politely.
“I unintentionally committed an offense.”
“……uh?”
Sunny, who had been sitting down, looked around with a bewildered expression.
“You two know each other… …?”
“Hey kid.”
It was then that Sophia smiled and looked at Sunny.
“Stay outside for a moment. We’ll talk about this incident later.”
“yes……?”
Sunny’s face, which had been blank, quickly returned to normal.
“Oh, yes! Oh, I understand!”
She hurried outside.
I was so desperate that I forgot about my fear of heights and crawled up to the ceiling.
Woohoo!
At the same time, light flowed out from Sophia’s hands.
“I installed a soundproofing spell. Nothing you say here will be heard outside, Joo Dong-hoon.”
The top of the tower stared at me.
Suddenly, I became curious.
“What about Sunny?”
“Sunny?”
Sophia paused for a moment, then continued speaking.
“That child broke the rules of the tower. He will be disciplined.”
“… … .”
“No matter how much you ask, there’s nothing I can do. The rules of the Magic Tower are strict. However, well, if other merits are recognized, wouldn’t I be rewarded accordingly?”
“If there are any other merits… … .”
“Before that.”
Sophia cut me off.
“I wonder.”
“… … .”
“Honestly, I’m embarrassed. I know about this place, and I’m digging into ancient magic through the Korean Association.”
Sophia crossed her arms proudly.
okay.
It must have been embarrassing from her perspective.
I see you ignoring my attempts to change the subject and getting straight to the point.
but.
I am as confused as she is.
“It’s the same for me, Lord Matap.”
Bone’s secret room.
My voice echoed softly in that narrow space.
“How does the Lord of the Tower know about this space? And how does he know about the existence of ancient magic… … I am also curious.”
Sophia’s expression hardened.
Did you think I was joking?
Matapju put strength into the hand holding the staff.
A powerful magical power boiling at the same time.
“I was also looking at you favorably because Delilah spoke well of you. However, if you are trying to fool me with that mouth… … .”
Kookookookook… … .
Momentum rose from her body.
‘Ugh.’
A strong, suffocating energy filled the space.
“I can’t look at it in a positive light anymore.”
“… … .”
I could feel Sophia’s sincerity.
‘It’s true.’
She could kill me if she wanted to.
okay.
The opponent is ranked 4th in the world.
If this is a world where power is law.
I guess I should bow my head.
Especially since it’s true that I was the one who was rude first.
“Okay, okay. I’ll be honest with you. I’ll say it without hesitation. I… … am under the command of absolute rulers from other worlds.”
As I opened my mouth, she looked at me.
“… … another world?”
“Yes, you must have heard about that from Delilah. There is a high probability that one of my skeletons is the 4th Lord of the Tower, Eloise, whom the Lord of the Tower wrote about.”
“… … What is that?”
Sophia looked incredulous.
“Your skeleton is Eloise?”
“I’m not saying that’s true, I just said that it’s highly probable. Of course, it’s up to the Lord of the Tower to believe it or not. But… … Wouldn’t the fact that I know about this space be enough evidence? From what I can see, it’s hidden in a very twisted way.”
I shrugged.
“The reason I needed the fragments of ancient magic was to unlock this skeleton.”
“… … .”
“That’s the answer. The end! There’s nothing more to reveal or say. Isn’t it surprisingly simpler than you thought?”
I looked straight into her eyes.
A moment of silence.
WHEEWOOOOONG!
Her momentum died down.
“What is this, really? There is no lie in your eyes.”
The voice also became softer than before.
I asked.
“… … You can tell that just by looking at the eyes?”
“When you get older, you will naturally come to know it.”
“… … .”
right.
Even if Matapju looks like she’s in her 20s.
Actually, she was an 80-year-old grandmother, right?
Was Jang Dae-woong’s nickname ‘British Granny’?
“ha.”
Sophia let out a faint sigh.
“Okay, I guess there’s nothing I can do. Since you told the truth first, I guess I should tell you too. That way we can have a conversation.”
She smiled brightly again.
“Promise me instead.”
“Is it a promise?”
“Just as I am telling you everything, you must also tell me everything you learn in the future, especially when it comes to ancient magic.”
Hey.
I guess you can’t fool people by their age?
This is no ordinary bet.
“great.”
I nodded.
“This is a mutual information exchange agreement.”

“This happened too. Since you revealed it without warning, I’m speaking frankly. By the way, Delilah doesn’t know this either.”
Sophia’s explanation was simple yet concise.
Because I finished explaining everything by unlocking some of my skills.
“Isn’t it amazing? It was back then. I explored the inside of the Magic Tower with the ‘History of the Magic Tower’ skill, and tried to find traces of ancient magic. Of course, it’s still ongoing. It was during that time that I heard about you.”
“I see.”
no way.
I didn’t know that a ranker like Matapju would reveal this much detail.
Is information about ancient magic that desperate?
“You said you were looking for fragments of ancient magic?”
“yes.”
Fumbling around.
I took a diary out of my pocket.

“I need exactly SS-grade ancient magic fragments. I need to open this dungeon.”
“Okay then.”
Matapju smiled brightly.
“This tower.”
Fight!
She struck her cane on the floor.
“This tower itself is a fragment of that.”
