Flame Stacking Kim Magic -2-

“Here it is.”

I stepped aside slightly.

When you break through the thick fog, a new world opens up.

“wow!”

Kim Magic opened his eyes wide.

A world of stars dyed in natural colors.

Among the green, lush trees and the red, yellow, and blue flower buds in full bloom, fireflies were leisurely swimming.

“Beep!”

“Pfft!”

Phoenixes dancing to a clear song.

Oddly enough, it’s not hot.

Only the warm spring breeze blows gently like memories of first love.

A red trail that filled the air filled my pupils.

“It really is the Valley of the Phoenix······”

“What did I say?”

“But I didn’t know it would be this easy to find. I didn’t know it would be this close.”

“It’s dark under the lamp.”

In fact, it is because of the barrier set up by the Shinsoo Phoenix.

Kim Magic took a video in a flash.

As we sent the video outside the barrier where even radio waves were blocked, the Magic Tower Master teleported with light and came over.

I wasn’t alone.

I was with the elders I saw at the Sunfire Defense demonstration yesterday.

“Kim Cho-in! Did you really find the Valley of the Phoenix?”

“I told you. I already knew.”

I didn’t bother to do any digging or anything.

When Matapju mentioned the Phoenix Valley, he immediately confessed that he knew the location.

So I took Kim Magic with me and headed straight here.

“Haha, right.”

Matapju looked at me with a face that said he was amazed.

“I guess I’ll have to pay attention to back alley rumors from now on. Who would have thought that a top secret like the location of Phoenix Valley would be circulating in a back alley?”

“There is so much garbage information out there. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.”

It’s not a lie.

Because I’ve seen it a lot through smartphone screens.

I used the stealth magic chip I had prepared in advance and guided the magic tower.

The magician and the other wizards each used similar magic, and Kim Magic followed me wearing the cloak of invisibility that the magician had given me.

Inside the barrier.

The reaction shown by Matapju was not much different from that of Kim Ma-beop.

“Heh heh heh!”

The magic tower bursts into laughter, fearing that the Phoenixes might hear.

“Hey!”

“There are so many phoenixes!”

“Wow······What a truly surprising old man.”

The elders also looked surprised.

Matapju patted my back with a happy face.

“I guess I won’t have to worry about the supply of phoenixes in the future! With that number, I can use them for a hundred years!”

“If you catch them openly, the Phoenix will notice and move its spawning grounds.”

“Hmm, the question is whether to hold it moderately or to hold it as much as possible. It would be good if the form were possible.”

“Are you going to hunt for a divine beast?”

“That’s impossible. I’m not even level 9.”

Just looking at the rooftop terrace makes you feel full.

“Your Majesty, what you promised was······”

“I will take responsibility for that and pay for it. Of course, as a tower lord, you can’t say two things out loud. You have solved the long-standing problem of our tower. Maybe another school will be established in our magic tower. I don’t mind spending a little magic.”

The expansion of the Matapju Tower.

It was worth waking up at dawn and climbing the mountain.

It was when I was about to smile and say thank you.

A loud voice interrupted.

“My lord? Magic? What do you mean?”

“Hmm, Elder Joe.”

A grandmother wizard with a poisonous expression.

He was the master of a wizard who was expelled after flirting with me.

Matapju frowned slightly.

“I have something for you as a reward for exploring Phoenix Valley.”

“So what did you bet on?”

“Hmm. I casted the sunfire.”

“Huh?”

“I promised that if you tell me the location of the Phoenix Valley and confirm it, I will personally teach you the Sunfire.”

“That’s ridiculous!”

Elder Cho immediately objected.

“The Sunfire is the signature magic of our tower. Even if you are the tower lord, you cannot obtain it as a personal reward!”

“Personal reward?”

The top of the tower openly showed a look of irritation.

“Personal reward, that’s too harsh. What are the two major research goals of our Magic Tower? Aren’t they the implementation of polarization and the design of a new magic circuit? The Valley of the Phoenix was necessary for the new magic circuit. I gave you the Sunfire as a reward, but it would be a shame if you treated me like I was using it for my own selfish desires.”

“You’re saying that your personal feelings were completely excluded, and that it was only for the sake of the tower? Is that really true?”

“Elder Joe. What do you want to say?”

Gradually, heat begins to rise in Matapju’s eyes.

Even if you did it for your own grandson, who would like it if you openly pointed it out?

It’s not like there’s no justification at all.

Elder Cho tried to open his mouth, but Matapju was one step faster.

“If you are going to be a tower, you will be able to kill the tower and the teacher.

Wow, the sudden acceleration is amazing.

He’s so hot-tempered that I wonder if anyone would call him a fire attribute wizard.

The same goes for the responsible wizard and the magic tower master.

Indeed, the death penalty is given to that priest.

The other elders quickly began to evolve.

“Okay, okay. Let’s calm down for a bit.”

“Your Majesty, why are you doing this on such a fine day?”

“Elder Cho, you too. I know you’re not feeling too good about this, but would it be okay for you to do that to the Lord?”

“It’s not just the Lord’s grandson who hasn’t mastered magic. Two out of my five grandsons can’t use magic properly.”

“Do you know how many magicians in the Magic Tower are troubled by their children?”

“If it is the Phoenix Flame Technique that the Lord of the Tower spoke of, then many people will be saved.”

“It’s beneficial for our entire tower.”

“Okay.”

Elder Cho, who got cursed at, looks very hurt.

He turned around, blew a cold wind, and used magic to disappear.

Matapju clicked his tongue openly.

“Tsk tsk. Elder Cho wasn’t like that when he was young, but he changed after getting a taste of money.”

“How would you feel if you had to banish the disciple you raised like your own child? I’m sure Your Majesty will understand.”

“It’s all their fault for being poorly educated. Who are you to blame? Hey, tsk tsk tsk.”

Matapju looked at the other elders with cold eyes.

“Anyway, I understand that there is no objection to giving the Sunfire to this Kim Cho-in on my authority.”

“Just a moment, my lord. But there must be a limit.”

“What restrictions?”

“Wouldn’t it be a big deal if it leaked to other magic towers or the Geumoh Group? They’re already trying to steal even one of our magic towers’ magic. Didn’t they put a lot of effort into casting magic on the recently exiled magician Park because of that?”

“Ahem.”

Matapju coughs once.

It’s natural because I think it makes sense.

I stepped forward first.

“Don’t worry about it. I will use the memory chip in front of the Tower Lord and the Elders, and if necessary, I will sign a magical oath.”

“It’s nice to hear that. What would you like to pledge?”

“Cannot be used, leaked, or copied.”

“Oh.”

The elders nodded.

Actually, this is a meaningless item to me.

To begin with, Sunfire is a magic and trait restricted to the wizard class.

I needed the no copy feature for myself too.

Or maybe someone kidnapped me and extracted the sunfire magic from my brain.

“Surely that would be okay.”

“Even though you are a warrior-type superhuman, you are someone who can communicate well.”

“I thought that since your name is Warrior, your brain would be made of muscles.”

“Did you do that too, Elder? I did that too.”

“Heh heh heh.”

The atmosphere became cheerful.

One of the elders asks, seeming puzzled.

“Wait a minute. I have something to ask you, Kim Cho-in.”

“Go ahead.”

“Why do you want the sunfire if you’re not going to use it or sell it? Wouldn’t it be better to just take a few magic stones imbued with sunfire?”

Reasonable doubt.

I quietly stirred up a black flame.

Very weakly, just at the tip of one finger, like a lit candle.

The eyes of the elders, Matapju, and Kim Mabeop are focused on my fingertips.

“I want to strengthen this.”

“her?”

“Ahem?”

“I am a former warrior, but I use black flames to my advantage. Then I came to the Sun Tower and heard about the Extreme Flame, and I became greedy. I wanted to create my own Extreme Flame.”

“Heh heh heh!”

“That’s right.”

“Do you think that’s easy? We’ve been investing in this business for over ten years already!”

“It may not work out. I know it’s not easy. But isn’t the mathematical approach of a wizard different from the sensory approach of a warrior? Who knows? My polarization might be better than that of the Sun Tower people.”

The elders burst into laughter.

“Poohahaha!”

“Uh-huh-huh!”

“Oh, you’re good at joking.”

“You think that the geomancy that you made by yourself will be better than the geomancy that we made with all our might at the magic tower?”

“I didn’t say anything definitively, did I? And roughly? I will never make something roughly.”

Everyone seemed to think it was nonsense.

A faint sense of ridicule and superiority lay beneath the gaze looking at me.

So I heard a voice muttering, “That’s what a warrior is.”

“It’s fun, it’s fun.”

Matapju interjected with her eyes sparkling.

“Then do you want to bet?”

“A bet?”

“Let’s compare the geomancy flower you made with the geomancy flower we made and see who made it better.”

“That sounds fun.”

There is no superiority or inferiority between extreme and extreme.

The destructive power is stronger in Extreme, but the magic power consumption and casting time are better in Extreme.

“Right? Okay. So what’s the stakes?”

“Are you serious about betting?”

“Of course! Where can you bet without stakes? Why? Are you not confident?”

The top of the tower is smiling brightly.

I showed off my two hands slightly.

“But I don’t have anything to walk.”

“You know.”

The top stares straight at me.

The corners of her mouth are still smiling brightly.

But the eyes don’t smile.

He looked at me with a serious face, as if he was joking.

“Yourself.”

“yes?”

“If you lose the bet, come to our tower security room. Oh, I’m not saying you should volunteer for free. I’ll pay you the best in the industry. I’ll show you what the best salary, best benefits, and best work-life balance are.”

A practical recruitment offer based on a bet.

The elders chuckled.

“Haha. Lord, isn’t that too obvious?”

“I guess you really like Kim Cho-in.”

“That makes sense.”

“Kim Cho-in did something for our tower······”

The elders also responded favorably.

It seems like you got a lot of points in the Sunfire Defense demonstration and the Phoenix Valley exploration.

But that’s it.

What if you drink kimchi stew first without even thinking about who will give you rice cakes?

“great.”

I nodded my head coolly.

“I accept that condition.”

“Good idea!”

The top priest was purely delighted.

“Then let’s write up a contract right away······”

“If I win, I would like you to grant me one wish in the Magic Tower dimension.”

“Huh?”

Matapju stops putting his hands in his bosom.

An expression that says one can’t believe one’s ears.

“I think I misheard. What did you say?”

“I told him that if I win, he will grant me one wish in the Magic Tower dimension.”

“What if you win? What do you mean, you win? Do you really think you can win?”

“You have to try both long and short things.”

I smiled confidently.

The elders shook their heads and Matapju laughed heartily.

“Hehehe. That’s a really funny joke. Good. If you really think so, it’s more fun that way. I’ll answer in my name. If the extreme you’ve created is better than the extreme you’ve created on our Magic Tower, or even if it’s similar, I’ll acknowledge our Magic Tower’s defeat and grant you one wish on the Magic Tower level!”

“Your Majesty, aren’t these conditions too harsh?”

“You say that you have to be similar to win?”

“If you can get at least 80 points, or even 70 points, you’ll be doing incredibly well.”

“Let’s give it up to 70 points as a humane measure.”

The elders also chimed in one by one.

70 points? 80 points?

I can’t help but laugh.

You’ll be really shocked when the results come out later.

A perfect tie.

That means you’ll get 100 points.

“What do you think? I’ll evaluate you in five categories: destructive power, range, magic power consumption, casting time, and difficulty, and compare the totals. If you score 70 or more, you win. If you score less than that, you’ll be brought into our Magic Tower security room. Do you agree?”

“I agree.”

“Hahaha! That’s a good idea. Future security chief! No, the president of Taeyang Security! We should also take this opportunity to enter the private military industry market!”

“Congratulations, Lord Tower.”

“As expected, you are the Lord of the Tower.”

“No one can match your eye for talent.”

The term is two years.

We decided to create our own polarization within it and check it.

Even if it’s before two years, if the two of you agree, you can start right away.

‘Two years is enough.’

Maybe I’ll make it to the highest level before the Sun Tower reaches its zenith?

I already brought you the most difficult to obtain sunfire.

good.

It’s an upward adjustment.

The goal is 120 points.

It will flatten the nose of the top of the mountain.

“Superhuman. Are you okay? You didn’t want to do it for no reason, but didn’t Grandpa stop you?”

Kim Ma-beop, who had been quiet, asks.

“Of course not. I accepted it because I wanted to do it.”

“Uh······Are you really sure?”

“That’s what I said.”

I’m already looking forward to that day.

You should think in advance about what wish you want to ask for from the Sun Tower.

Level 8 magic sword, the ultimate luxury sword, and even the Gangnam building owner will all be possible.

“Let’s start with verification.”

The top priest stretched out his hand.

The invisible magical power caught the nearby baby phoenix and dragged it towards him.

The purpose of exploring the Phoenix Valley.

It was time for Kim Ma-beop to change his profession to a pyromancer.
