Episode 904
A small uninhabited island with gray palm trees growing sparsely.
“hmm… .”
Raon, who changed his hair to blue, landed on a deserted island and turned his gaze.
“Aren’t you here yet?”
“yet?”
Burren stopped walking and tilted his head.
“Could it be that you were joining Chamber on this deserted island?”
“here? “Isn’t it too far?”
Marta lowered her eyebrows as if she couldn’t understand.
“okay.”
Raon looked back at the questioning prosecutors and nodded.
“We don’t know how far the Black Tower’s reach extends on land, so we decided to meet at sea.”
The demons might have spread some kind of magic or spell around Montiro, so meeting them in the nearby land was not a good choice.
“That’s a good choice.”
Karun smoothed his chin with calm eyes.
“No matter how careful Black Tower was, it wouldn’t have taken any action to this uninhabited island.”
He nodded, saying that since there were wizards, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to set up a temporary base here, far away from Montiro.
“huh. Same idea… .”
Runaan, as if she wasn’t scared of Karun, sat next to him and bobbed her head in the same position.
“… .”
Karun glanced at Runaan, but she stared at him even more, with an expression as if she was wondering what to do.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Raon said his thanks as Karun’s forehead was about to wrinkle. It was my first time working with him on a mission, but strangely enough, it felt like we had been together for a long time.
“Get a seat first before Chamber comes… hmm?’
Raon was walking through a bush as tall as a person and was about to enter the uninhabited island when he stopped.
‘There’s something.’
I immediately looked back after feeling that the mana flow inside the uninhabited island was strange.
“Everyone get back!”
He tried to run away after warning the prosecutors who were following him, but as if he was looking at a kaleidoscope, the space split into pieces and his hands and legs were tied in the cracks and could not move.
‘Is it magic?’
Without panicking, I raised the cartoon ball. The flame that purified everything burned away the mana that bound her hands and feet.
Chiri riri ring!
With his free right hand, he drew his sword. As she was about to cut down the barrier dividing space itself, a witch’s hat popped out from within the crack.
“for a moment! don’t do it!”
Chamber, who was hiding under the witch’s hat, revealed her face and waved both hands.
“It was hard to make this! It’s a joke! joke!”
She shook her head, shouting for him to lower his sword.
“… “I was joking too.”
Raon smiled slightly and lowered his sword.
“Did you know?”
“Because the magic smelled like Chamber.”
I didn’t know it at first, but as I watched the space split, I realized it was the chamber’s magic. She actually would have split her space right away if she had put her mind to it, but she only played her game for a moment until she came out.
-joy. Thank goodness.
Lars snorted as he looked at himself.
-The one who ate the blood and flesh of the original king thought it was a simple trap and almost hit the ground.
The guy frowned as if he didn’t like either way.
‘It’s not like they ate the blood and flesh.’
-To this king, it is more than that!
Lars gritted his teeth, shouting that it was even worse.
‘Yeah, yeah…’ .’
I felt like I would really get bitten if I said anything else here, so I accepted it for now.
“Now I’m so scared that I can’t even play pranks.”
Chamber smiled slightly and snapped his fingers, and the yellow space that had been divided returned to its original uninhabited island.
“My lord! What happened… uh?”
“Yes?”
“Chamber!”
Burren, Runaan, and Marta, who were standing right in front of the barrier, widened their eyes when they saw the chamber.
“Meet the Grand Wizard of Movies.”
Karun was not embarrassed, perhaps because he had guessed something, and bowed to Chamber. His strength seemed to be growing as quickly as himself.
“Karun?”
Chamber let out a breath of surprise.
“The uncle said he would send someone who would be a good match for Raon. Was that you?”
“It fits well… .”
Karun frowned slightly as if he didn’t like those words.
“I respect the matriarch, but I don’t think that’s the case.”
He chewed his lip, saying it was a misunderstanding.
“I feel the same way. “I think you may be mistaken.”

Raon also shook his head with the same look in his eyes as Karun.
“When I saw it in person, it seemed like a pretty good fit, right?”
Buren grinned, saying that he liked the combination of Raon and Karun.
“What nonsense!”
“That’s not it!”
As soon as Buren finished speaking, Raon and Karun stamped their feet and frowned.
“I see?”
Chamber smiled slightly as if he knew what it was.
“Come in first. “Let’s talk inside.”
When she snapped her fingers, the space filled with bushes disappeared, revealing a luxurious tent and magical equipment. The wizards of Balkar took their seats inside, preparing for something unknown.
“This… .”
“I came in advance and set up a barrier.”
Chamber put a red candy in his mouth and made a chin gesture.
“Is this a barrier preventing intrusion?”
Raon turned his gaze as he entered the barrier created by the chamber.
“That’s natural. I made it so that the mana and presence that blooms inside does not escape to the outside. There… .”
Chambers snapped his fingers, and a blue window rose up, illuminating the people playing on the beach.
“We also added a device to watch Montiro’s video.”
“her… .”
Raon sighed as he looked at the blue window showing Montiro. I had no idea that Chamber had come first and made this much preparation. He really seemed like he wanted to catch the black tower.
“But now there are only three of us.”
“If there are three people… .”
“I supported agents on the black market. “The video is being sent from the artifact they are wearing.”
Chambers raised his finger and pointed to the jewelry box on the table. It contained accessories such as her necklace, ring, badge, and bracelet, but I could not feel the slightest hint of mana energy.
“I made them all in different forms so as not to raise suspicion. “That was the hardest.”
She sighed, saying it wasn’t easy.
“Then, if we put that on and go into Montiro… .”
“okay. “Dozens of videos like that will be posted here, making the search much easier.”
Chamber shrugged as if wondering what was going on.
“Thank you for preparing this much.”
Raon bowed his head to Chamber. Although she did her favor, she had no idea she would have it all ready so quickly.
“It was a video artifact that we had been researching for a long time, so we just mass-produced it quickly.”
Chamber waved his hand, saying it wasn’t that big of a deal.
“It’s not just that. “We would like to thank you for trusting us.”
That artifact must be a secret in Balkar, but they were grateful that they trusted them and released the information.
“Ha, I said no… .”
Chamber slightly turned his head as if embarrassed.
“Then have you ever been to Montiro?”
Raon put down the bracelet Chamber had made and narrowed his eyes.
“I’ve been there a while before coming here.”
Chamber nodded, lowering the lollipop.
“I looked under the sea, but there was nothing particularly strange.”
She quenched her appetite, saying she didn’t feel any magic or fraud.
“okay… .”
Raon chewed his lips thinly.
‘Then it might be harder than I thought… .’
No matter how far the distance was, if Chamber, the highest ranked transcendent, could not feel it, it would be difficult to find it even if he went there.
‘Well, I guess Roen couldn’t find it either.’
Raon sighed briefly and approached the chamber.
“Then did you make that too?”
“Of course there is.”
Chamber took out a yellow candy from his pocket as if he had been waiting.
“If you eat this, the mana in your dantian will scatter and you will not be able to search for it using barriers or artifacts.”
She shook her head, saying that it would be difficult to navigate even with the Black Tower’s barrier since it was an improved medicine that had existed before.
“What do I do when I want to use mana?”
“You can use the Auror technique. However, after that, the candy will become less effective and you will be detected.”
Chamber waved his finger, saying that mana should not be used under any circumstances.
“thank you.”
Raon bowed his head and accepted the candy handed to him by Chamber.
“It tastes like lemon.”
“yes?”
“It tastes like that candy lemon.”
Chamber grinned, saying that he thought about the taste because it was candy.
-Lemon flavor?
Lars opened his eyes wide and stuck out his tongue.
-The King also likes lemons! Try it now!
The guy stuck out his tongue as if he was drooling.
“That candy is the secret you were talking about.”
Karun nodded calmly, as if he had expected this too.
“yes. If you have this, you will be able to avoid barriers and artifacts that detect aurors.”
Unlike myself and Karun, the Frenzy Swordsmen could not avoid exploring the barrier, so they had to eat this candy and enter Montiro.
“Bring more candy!”
As Chamber raised his hand, a young woman with a familiar face among the robed wizards came towards us, holding a basket of candy. She was Jaina, the princess of Balkar.
“Oh, it’s been a while… “Yes.”
Jaina furrowed her eyebrows as if she had not forgotten what had happened to her, but spoke politely.
-If you forget that, are you human? It’s a frog.
Lars nodded, saying it was natural.
“How did you get here?”
“The Black Tower are the ones who insulted our kingdom… yo. this. It’s natural for her to move as a princess… are you.”
Jaina clenched her fists, her eyes growing deeper than before, as if it was natural for her to come here as a princess. She was a different person from the days when all she did was run away.
“is that so.”
Raon felt that Jaina had also changed a little and accepted the candy basket she had given him.
“You’re not going to fit everything in at once, are you?”
Chamber shook his head in disbelief.
“yes. Of course, I plan to go in one by one.”
If these people entered Montiro at the same time, suspicion would arouse, and they had to decide who would enter first.
“I’m looking forward to my swimsuit, but for now, I can’t.”
Chamber sighed and waved his hand.
“If you happen to be dragged away by the Black Tower owner, everything will end.”
She lowered one of her eyebrows, saying that it would be difficult to fight in the master bedroom created by the Black Tower owner.
“Of course I know. “I’m not particularly curious about swimsuits, though.”
Since only the Chamber can deal with the Black Tower Lord, it was best for her to step forward after discovering the location of the Black Tower.
“joy! “You don’t know the charm of a mature woman.”
Chamber snorted as if pouting.
“How about I go in first, and you come in last?”
“That would be good.”
Karun stroked his chin and said that he would be training prosecutors here.
“Then who…” .”
“Because it’s a resort and a beach. Wouldn’t it be best to disguise ourselves as lovers?”
Chamber looked at the women next to Raon, asking them to become lovers.
“Aang? You’re not being cocky anymore, are you? Have you come to your senses? “Is it acting?”
Marta was arguing with Princess Jaina.
“crab. Plus… .”
Runaan was slapping a hermit crab roaming the floor and blinking.
“… “That won’t work.”
Chamber shook his head, saying he felt like he would be caught as soon as he left.
“yes. I don’t think it will be easy… .”
Raon licked his lips and looked at the prosecutors one by one.
“wow! This grass is faron, which is hard to find on the continent! It was here! supply!”
Dorian was pulling up trees and grass and stuffing them into his stomach pouch, not paying attention to his surroundings.
“There it is.”
Raon grinned and pointed at Dorian.
“It’s real, not acting.”
* * *
Tdduddeuk.
A small wagon was rolling along a dirt road studded with golden sand grains.
There were three people riding in the carriage. The blue-haired young man was sitting inside the carriage and yawning, the brown-haired young man was checking the luggage and counting, and the red-haired young man was driving the carriage with a large sword at his side, as if he were a mercenary.
“I understand that I would become a third-rate mercenary, but… .”
Crane, disguised as a mercenary, looked back slightly and sighed.
“Why did Jeonju become the head of the Sanghoe, leaving behind a successor to the Sanghae?”
He shook his head as he looked at Dorian, who was counting the objects and smiling.
“I can’t lift the luggage.”
Raon, disguised as the young owner of the store, tilted his chin.
“her… .”
Crane let out a sigh as if it was absurd.
“hey! You too, speak up! “Is the man who is said to be the successor to the company satisfied with being a porter?”
He grabbed Dorian’s head and shook it.
“I just like it. “I wonder what kind of supplies there are there.”
Dorian smiled as if he was satisfied with the opportunity to buy something at Montiro. It seemed like he was really here as a merchant, not on a mission.
“Ugh! really!”
“That’s it. Now focus. “There will soon be a sign pointing to Montiro.”
Even though Raon was still a considerable distance away from Montiro, he cautioned the two and continued acting as a Hanryang merchant.
“Okay… .”
Crane had something he wanted to say, but he shook his head as if he had no choice and drove the carriage.
“Haaam.”
Raon let out a long yawn while leaning back against the luggage piled in the carriage.
-That’s fascinating.
Lars looked at himself and narrowed his eyes.
-It’s hard to see him sitting normally, but when he does, he’s really good at it. Your acting has soul.
‘Because I’ve seen it a lot.’
-Ah, it’s because of the guy with the ear plugs.
The guy chuckled as if he was thinking of Rimmer.
-It seems like you are a teacher in many ways.
‘yes.’
Raon smiled slightly and nodded. Even if he just followed Rimmer’s actions, the first place Hanryang would be laughable.
‘But I wonder if I can find it.’
While I had consistently used fraud detection while getting here, my level had risen, but I was not confident that I could find the location of the Black Tower with only 3 stars.
-What if I can’t find it? If you go and eat plenty of seafood, wouldn’t that be a demon?
Lars waved his hand and said, “Let’s just enjoy the food.”
‘Maseng may be that, but it’s not life.’
The amount of money and manpower invested in this mission is astronomical. Even if we couldn’t find the Black Tower itself, we had to at least find a clue to get there.
-Even so, in the end, all that remains is eating! fish! Lobster! shrimp! seaweeds! clam!
As I listened to the food Lars wanted to eat, I began to see the image of Montiro little by little.
“It’s Montiro! After that… “It’s the sea!”
Crane seemed to have started acting like a mercenary and revealed his bright complexion as he shouted, “It’s the sea.”
“ocean. The supplies you can get there are seafood, water stones, and… .”
Dorian recited the things he had to buy, not knowing if it was acting or real. He seemed to be acting better than he was this time.
“hmm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched Montiro getting closer.
‘I don’t really feel any barriers or demonic energy.’
As Chamber said, I did not feel any negative energy even though I was standing right in front of Monty.
‘how about you?’
Raon took a quick bite and looked back at Lars.
-First of all, there is nothing that can be felt as energy. but… .
Lars swept Montiro down and revealed his white teeth.
-I feel dirty.
‘You feel dirty?’
-That’s right. There seems to be something that seems to provoke the King’s anger.
The guy shook his chin, saying he didn’t know that either.
‘Is this the devil’s sense…? .’
Lars always placed more importance on sense than theory. If he could say something like that, it seemed clear that something dirty was hidden here, whether it was the Black Tower or not.
“Oh, my butt hurt so much I almost had to rummage. “Let’s go in quickly.”
Raon got off the carriage, speaking in a rude tone like Hanryang.
“yes!”
“All right!”
Dorian grinned and got off, and Crane also smiled and drove the carriage in front of Montiro’s front door.
“Please present your identification card.”
I handed the security guard blocking the front door of Montiro the identification card that I was currently wearing in disguise.
‘It’s perfect this way.’
The current identities of himself, Dorian, and Crane were small stores run directly on the black market, so there was no reason to raise suspicion.
“Is the purpose of your visit commercial?”
“yes!”
Dorian nodded, saying that of course he came to buy something.
“Well, let’s do it together.”
Raon gulped down a small amount of tea and shook his chin slightly.
“Well, I passed. Your time at Montiro is golden. I hope you enjoy your journey.”
The security guard said welcome and opened the door.
“effort.”
Raon waved his hand lightly and entered Monty with the carriage. As soon as he went inside, he felt the atmosphere change suddenly.
Shirtless men and women with their legs exposed walked along the streets together, and various colors of music were playing in bars. I knew right away that it was a place to have fun.
“welcome!”
As Raon, Crane, and Dorian were looking at Monty’s mood, a girl holding a sea flower necklace approached them.
“Is this your first time at Montiro?”
The girl smiled brightly as she handed each person a necklace made of sea flowers.
“however?”
Raon nodded with a slightly arrogant look.
“Then you’ll need a guide! “This place is bigger and more complicated than I thought!”
The girl patted her chest, saying that no one knew Montiro better than she did.
-What is this little guy?
Lars frowned at the child.
‘He’s a guide to any travel destination. ‘I make money by guiding tourist attractions.’
-There was a similar kid before. They live hard.
The guy tilted his chin as if he was proud.
“You know well? Well, do you know places like gambling halls and arenas?”
Raon pretended to be interested in the entertainment and quenched his appetite.
“Sure! “I know someone at the casino!”
The girl raised her hand saying she could enter right away.
“What is your name?”
“It’s Lencia!”
“good. “I’ll leave it to you.”
Raon nodded and threw a silver coin to Lencia.
“Wow! thank you.”
Lencia hugged the silver coin she received preciously.
“So where do you want to go first?”
“Beach!”
-restaurant!
“market!”
Crane, Lars, and Dorian each said what they wanted and then glanced at each other.
“Let’s unpack first. “It’s a hassle to carry it around.”
Raon sighed briefly and pointed to the carriage behind him.
“yep! “We will guide you to accommodations with the best value for money!”
“Not cost-effective, but the place with the best price.”
“Ah yes!”
Lencia’s eyes sparkled as if she had bitten a tiger, then she grabbed the horse’s reins and began guiding.
‘hmm… .’
Raon followed behind Lencia and lowered his eyes slightly.
‘As expected, I don’t feel any magic.’
According to Roen’s information, the spirit of the demons was not felt at all even inside Montiro.
‘then… .’
Just in case, I tried using fraud detection at 3 stars.
“uh… ?”
Raon let out a low moan without realizing it.
“Why are you doing this?”
Lencia turned her head as if asking what was going on.
“no. “I tripped on the ground.”
Raon kicked the ground and clicked his tongue.
“Oh, be careful. “There is a lot of sand and stones on the bottom.”
Lencia laughed a little, saying that she also often trips.
“I guess so.”
Raon looked at the floor and opened his mouth.
-Why are you doing that?
Lars frowned as if he couldn’t understand.
‘You said that wherever there are people, there are demons and fraud, right?’
-That’s right. As long as humans exist, negative energy also exists. Of course, I can’t do anything with that amount of dust that even the real king can’t really feel.
The guy tilted his chin as if asking why he was asking again what I just explained.
‘But here… .’
Raon bit his lip as he looked at the road studded with sand grains.
‘There is no such thing as fraud.’
