Episode 494: The Holy Magician
Warrior, warrior.
‘I’m hearing this in a voice.’
Why, why am I embarrassed?
I wonder if those guys who called me the Rainbow Warrior felt ashamed inside?
I was expecting it for a moment, but I don’t think it will happen. We all sang it like that because we were all excited.
As I climb the tower, I feel like I’ve been given a lot of useless nicknames. It’s sad that none of them are cool.
anyway.
“Tell me more.”
I had a feeling that the existence of the warrior would be the key to this scenario.
The name itself is promising. There is talk of a hero appearing in a crisis. Considering that it is a fantasy setting where swords and magic run wild, it wouldn’t be strange if it actually existed.
“I don’t know the details because I’m stuck in a corner of the mountains, but I heard that he reclaimed a kingdom that had been taken over by monsters in the West. It’s also a famous anecdote that he wiped out the warlocks.”
Let’s say the kingdom is restored.
‘It’s black magic.’
As I listened, the bandit leader coughed a few times, perhaps slightly excited, and then began to speak.
To summarize roughly.
‘Taking advantage of the chaos, the black magician opened the demon realm, and for some unknown reason, several magic towers were also attached to it.’
This was the part where you could see why the wizard’s perception was a mess.
I don’t understand. Why did they open the Demon Realm when the situation was already ripe for destruction?
It’s not that I can’t guess.
‘The worshippers.’
If you think that the identities of the worshippers of this dimension are warlocks, it makes sense.
From their perspective, the faster destruction approaches, the sooner they can enter the tower and gain eternal life under the name of NPC.
It’s not true immortality, but NPCs also die when their necks are cut.
“Also, although this is not certain, there are rumors going around that demons have recently appeared in the territory.”
I don’t know which demon realm this is, but it seems like they call the demons here “Majok”.
It seems that they are a bit different from the demons I know in that they tend to kill people.
‘In some ways, the demons I’ve met may be unique.’
In any case, they are a race with a strong warlike disposition.
I met Killdereth at the top, so he was friendly. If we had met in another dimension, it would have been a disaster.
It would be the same for the invaded celestials. It depends on the situation. Well, from what I’ve heard, the demons here seem to have gone too far.
Okay. I’ve gathered all the basic information. It was a good thing I came to the mountain. I was worried that it would be useless, but at this point, I’ve picked out everything I could.
I don’t think we really need to hang out any longer. If things weren’t going well, I was planning on just hanging out here for a while.
“Okay, I understand. I’ve done my job, so I’ll be going now.”
I was slowly getting up from my seat when I suddenly stopped.

The bandit leader, who had been looking at me with an expression as if asking if I should hurry up, rolls his eyes.
“Just one more thing, do you know the fallen tower?”
“I’m not sure about that, since it’s a collapsed tower.”
“If you don’t know, then don’t say anything.”
I turned my back without any hesitation. I was just asking the NPC Feliz who was watching me because he said he was from the fallen tower.
I waved my hand lightly and left the mountain village. I told you the location of the guys who attacked me, so you can figure out how to rescue them.
“Oh, my lord.”
“hmm?”
As I was walking along the mountain path, a hawk caught me.
“I’m talking about the collapsed tower. Maybe someone here knows something about it.”
Did you overhear the conversation with the bandit leader?
“He’s a man named Baisa. He’s a magician who serves as a guest to Lord Takar. I’m a member of that territory, so I’ve heard a bit about him. He’s from the fallen magic tower.”
“I see, thank you.”
“no!”
-ting
“Think of it as information value.”
He took a gold nugget out of his treasure bag and flicked it at the guy.
I don’t know what the currency is here, but I guess they’ll use gold and silver. I don’t know what the value will be though.
Judging by the way they gape open their mouths, gold and silver seem to be expensive here too.
I walked away, leaving behind the guy who was bowing his head in thanks.
* * *
The place I headed to was called Takar Estate.
After stopping by a village near where the wild vegetables were, making some rough preparations and leaving right away, we were able to get in in two days.
There is a reason why I came here in the first place.
“The Demon Clan and the Fallen Tower. The location is on the west path where the warrior is.”
Should I say it fits perfectly?
If you prioritize, the warrior is the last priority. There are many rumors, but there is not much actual information.
I guess the news is delayed because we live so far apart.
‘I also feel like people are exaggerating.’
The atmosphere here was similar to the Middle Ages, with no proper communication network.
At best, they are sending messengers or messenger rods. It is said that large-scale estates have magicians who communicate with each other using communication beads, but even that is not easy these days.
As the warlocks became more active, trust in magicians fell significantly. The fact that it was easy to exchange secret information also meant that information that should not be passed on to the warlocks could be leaked.

“The people here look nice.”
He walked down the street, covered in a shabby robe.
The village I passed on my way here had a bleak atmosphere, but since it was where the lord resided, everyone was going about their daily lives.

Well, if they lock the door to a place like this, then you should consider it a failure.
The problem is how to get into Yeongju.
‘Even in an era with good public safety, you would be wary if an unidentified person visited you, but it goes without saying that these days.’
Even here, it is a caste society. If your origins are unclear, you have nothing to prove your status.
The person who manages this Takar estate is said to have the title of Baron. Although it is a relatively low title, he is clearly a noble.
Why do I feel like I have no identity as I progress through the scenario?
“Tsk.”
He clicked his tongue slightly. Well, this is just a complaint, and I have a plan. I don’t know if it will work though.
I headed towards Yeongju Castle with a confident gait.
“Stop. What brings you here?”
The soldier guarding the main gate stops me by aiming his spear.
Maybe it’s because I look so shabby, but I speak briefly. I thought about dressing up in flashy clothes because of this, but I couldn’t because of my plans.
“I came to see Bysa. You may know me as Felix of the Fallen Tower.”
“Mr. Baisha?”
The soldier frowns for a moment and nods to the assistant sergeant standing next to him, who then runs inside.
Fortunately, it seems that the information the bandit kid gave wasn’t a lie.
What should I do if I don’t have an identity? I have to create one, even if it’s fake.
As it happens, I have the right sauce.
“Are you a wizard?”
“Of course, right?”
“Ahem, I’m sorry for being rude.”
Maybe it’s because the perception of wizards is so bad that their speech is becoming more polite. I’d like to show them something with my skills, but Fire or Water don’t look good, and the other ones are too high level to show them off easily.
The soldier also looked away, as if he was trying to confirm it with his own eyes, and waited for the assistant shooter to arrive.
“Please come inside.”
“Please come in.”
After a while, the deputy commander came back and guided me inside himself.
I was curious about what kind of place Yeongjuseong would be, but it was surprisingly ordinary. It was spacious and had a certain grand feel to it, but it was far from extravagant.
To put it nicely, it was plain, and to put it badly, it was boring.
The soldier who guided us to the entrance of the mansion bowed his head slightly and left. As we followed the servant inside, we saw an old man sitting in what appeared to be a reception room.
“Stay out.”
Is that old man a wizard named Baisha? At his words, the attendant bows politely and closes the door.
I guess this guy is also trying his best here.
[Silus (S) Lv.10]
As soon as the servant leaves, Baisha uses magic.
I took off my hood without hesitation. From the moment I put on Silas, my identity was already known. I came from the same fallen tower, so there was no way I wouldn’t recognize your face.
“I called because I was curious to know who was so presumptuous as to sell out Felitz’s name.”

“I’m sorry. I wanted to come in, but there was no good way.”
“What is your relationship with Feliz?”
“It’s not a deep relationship. Hey, hey, maybe we ran into each other briefly at the place where the bandits were.”
It’s not a lie. I haven’t seen the face though.
Baisa frowns at the word bandit. She seems to know that Felix is where the bandits are.
“Surely you didn’t harm Felitz.”
“I guess you haven’t been in contact with each other?”
I thought you had already contacted me. It seems like you don’t have a separate contact network.
That’s that.
[SSS-class power, the eye that gazes upon the stars is unleashed.]
-Tsuzuzuzuzut
He exerted his power towards Baisha.
Whatever it is, since we come from the same fallen tower, there must be something to salvage.
[Bysa]
-Neutral NPC.
-I’m from the fallen tower.
-NPC, Feliz’s teacher!
‘Master.’
First of all, he’s not a worshiper. He’s a neutral NPC.
When I remain silent for a moment, his momentum picks up.
The pressure is considerable as the magic power boils over and becomes tangible.
“You have to answer my question well.”
A tone of anger. I don’t know about anything else, but I can tell that he cares about his disciple Feliz.
I didn’t come here to fight, so I raised both hands.
“To be honest, I don’t know Felitz very well. I just happened to be watching him as a family member and became interested in him. When I heard that he was from the same Magic Tower, I was curious about what he did, so I came to see.”
“How did you find out what affiliation you had?”
“It’s a trade secret, so I can’t say anything.”
[Power, Truth’s Chalice (SS) is tilted.] [Truth]
Baisha, who had been glaring at me for a moment, regained his momentum.
Hoo. Do you have the power to confirm the truth? What a convenient world.
“Well, my disciple is not the type of person who would go and see trouble. Excuse me for a moment. He is curious, after all.”
Whatever it was, it’s true that they were watching me. Whether it was curiosity or something else, we’ll have to wait and see.
He leans back in his chair, as if the misunderstanding has been somewhat resolved.
“You’re a wizard too, aren’t you? If you can sense the Familiar.”
“It’s enough that you won’t get hit wherever you go.”
“Haha! Is there anyone who learns to avoid being hit by magic? Why are you talking similarly to your disciple? Felix got hit in the head a lot because of that.”
You said you hit him. I shook my head internally.
The mood has become more relaxed, so let’s get to the main point.

This chapter has one peculiarity. It’s not that it’s… … .
‘The chapter name hasn’t been decided yet.’
As you progress through each scenario, the chapter titles are displayed differently, but the first chapter or so is announced as soon as you start.
This time it didn’t happen. There must be a reason. From what I’ve experienced so far, usually in these cases…
‘When the chapter title directly affects the strategy.’
So, it’s likely that the title won’t come to you until near the end.
Since there are no hints, I have to prepare to prevent destruction as expected.
In that sense, the thing I needed to be most wary of now was clear.
“I’d like to talk to you about the Warlock.”
Those judged to be worshippers, warlocks, and the beings they summoned through contracts.
“Have you heard the news that a demon has appeared here?”
Paaaaah!
I said that while spreading divine power.
“… You were a divine wizard.”
Baisha, whose face had hardened for a moment, let out a deep sigh.
“Well, that’s why he showed up, talking about the collapsed magic tower. That’s right, there are demons here.”
I think there was some misunderstanding, but I didn’t point it out.
If you think about it however you want, I’m fine with it. I think a divine magician is someone who catches demons.
Since I’m also a demon, I intentionally emitted divine power.
Anyway, the flow is going in a good direction.
“Then would you mind sharing some information with me?”
Let’s go a little deeper.
