Chapter 823 – 823. Room for Growth (1)
The disaster that filled the city of the Mage Tower with chaos is gone.
All the invaders who had been invading were used to create the black door through which the devil entered, and Raynan, who was the ringleader, offered his body to the devil himself.
As a result, the demons summoned to the underworld were also killed by other heroes, including Illyana.
The demon is extinguished.
One fortunate thing was that the damage caused to the surroundings due to the summoning of the devil was less than expected.
“Huh, huh…”
“Mom. Mother!”
A man lost his beloved wife, and a girl lost her parents who gave birth to her and raised her, and cries filled with sorrow resonated throughout the city.
But even so, it didn’t take long for the city to recover unexpectedly.
It is because the hope of subduing the demon that was a disaster and eventually protecting the city remained in the hearts of the citizens.
Citizens praised the wizards for devoting all their energy to stopping the invaders and defeating the demons.
In particular, he praised Illyana and Gerard, the heroes who made a great contribution against Belphegor.
The reason there was no mention of Eun-hyeon, who finished the film, is because there was almost no awareness of him.
Externally, Eunhyeon, who was the husband of Iliana, the daughter of the Duke of Armitas, who represented the nobility of the Kingdom of Fernias, and the husband of Eleanor, known as the saint of the Temple of Vesta, was known among nobles of high status and prestige.
However, it did not show such great recognition among ordinary citizens.
It was a pity.
“Can I borrow some money?”
“…”
However, such Eun-hyeon was showing the greatest presence in the meeting room.
“As you say, it is not unconditional support. I plan to calculate the interest without omission and receive all of them. Even taking that into account, it won’t be a bad proposition for the Magic Tower right now.”
The giant wizard’s tower, which was the symbol of the city, collapsed.
It was Eun-hyeon’s proposal, thrown at an emergency meeting with a number of wizards in front of the collapsed symbol.
A number of high-ranking wizards who held key positions within the Mage Tower and the city were troubled upon hearing Eun-hyeon’s proposal.
Not only them, but also the three red, blue, and green people who were in the head of the Mage Tower were silently guarding the meeting room.
The reactions were similar, silence, but the reactions of the three elders were different.
Arden, the elder, was laughing and sparing his words, but she was already leaning in favor.
Nera, the green elder, was observing the complexion of the other wizards and withholding judgment.
And in the case of the enemy elder.
“…”
As if he had no interest in the agenda of this meeting, he was only looking at Illyana.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
Aden raised her hand and spoke to Eunhyun.
“Yes. Aden.”
“Why are you willing to lend that much money for the Mage Tower?”
Arden had lived her long life, and she knew that there was no such thing as free favor.
The old man, who had experienced various things in the Mage Tower in the midst of politically entangled interests with other towers, did not readily understand Eun-hyeon’s proposal.
His proposal was certainly very attractive to the Mage Tower, but from the point of view of Eun-hyeon, the opposite, it was a business that only cost money.
Even if he was Illyana’s husband who had declared her return to the Blue Tower, no, that’s why I couldn’t understand it all the more.
The Eun-hyeon that Aden knew was not a man who did business at a loss for no reason.
Eun-hyeon answered with a smile as if he had expected it to be a question that he would naturally come up with.
“That’s because my wife, Illyana, is a mage belonging to the Mage Tower.”
“… It doesn’t look like it’s only because of that.”
“We need the Mage Tower’s help in the upcoming war.”
“…”
At Eunhyeon’s words, many wizards looked at him in shock.
“… War?”
With the exception of Illyana, all the wizards in the meeting looked at Eunhyun at his remarks.
Those words were the attitude of someone who foresaw and prepared for the future.
What on earth is he looking at and what is he preparing for?
“I bet you all know. What is happening on the continent right now.”
“…”
Most of the mages hardened their faces.
They didn’t know either.
Riots across the continent and the destruction of many countries in the West.
And the undead who reject death and rise from the polluted land.
Although they may have been concentrating on studying magic by locking themselves in the Mage Tower, they were not stupid people who did not know the situation on the continent at all.
In the first place, the wizards of the Red Tower cut off all outside support and developed the ultimate weapon artifact called the Destruction Ray from within, in order to resist the riots and undead that would one day devour the continent and reach the Mage Tower.
Of course, Raynan and the giant tentacles made the destruction beam useless after only using it twice.
“That’s why I want to help all of you, so that the Mage Tower can recover its power even a little bit. Of course, it’s not free.”
As a result, Eun-hyeon can pay off her debt to the Mage Tower and obtain the legitimate right to command hundreds of high-level wizards.
Illyana, who stood at the pinnacle of her mages, put her before her and at the same time supported her outrageous capital, her influence was an offer she could not refuse.
“That’s right. Okay The Blue Tower, including me, will accept your offer and go under you.”
“Now, Elder!?”
The wizards of the Blue Tower looked at Aden in surprise.
They had no objection to accepting his proposal, but it was completely unexpected that the entire Blue Tower would make the choice to go under him.
“What are you so surprised about? Hasn’t she already proven that?”
Bowing your head to Eunhyun means the same as bowing your head to Illyana.
Already as her wizard, she has risen to a level of her mastery that no one else has reached, and she has proven her mettle.
“Ha, but the elder doesn’t have to bow his head like this…”
Since he is Aden, who has led the wizards of the Blue Tower as the elder of the Mage Tower, he may be even more reluctant.
The fixed culture inside the Mage Tower, which valued rank and order, did not change easily.
“Hehe, I’m rather happy.”
Aden, on the other hand, looked at Illyana with her wild laugh.
To say that she was so wonderful at some point is not enough. Watching her prove her worth by becoming her greatest wizard, I felt proud of her rather than awe or admiration.
Like a parent watching their child grow, I was so happy at this moment.
And they didn’t think that Illyana would treat them disrespectfully.
“Inspiration. I tell you in advance, I won’t do anything.”
“I didn’t even expect it.”
Unlike Aden, who burst into laughter as if he had expected it, the other wizards openly expressed their regrets.
“… Are you serious?”
The most surprising thing was the change in the attitude of the red elder.
As if dealing with a superior in a higher position than himself, his polite tone and attitude were enough to surprise not only the Red Tower, but also the wizards of other colors.
“… I want to be taught a few tricks by the witch.”
There was only one reason why he treated Illyana so respectfully and respectfully.
Because she was a wizard with a greater hierarchy than the enemy elders.
Having directly demonstrated a level of nine digits that no one has reached, they have a status and status that is not strange even if they are revered as gods among the wizards of the Mage Tower.
To the extent that the arrogant and self-righteous enemy elder showed her respect for Illyana.
“No.”
Illyana refused the request with her single sword.
“…”
Seeing her not showing any concern, the red elder showed a disappointed look.
He was the greatest wizard that no one could follow in the Mage Tower, and that is why he was arrogant and self-righteous, full of confidence that he was the best.
However, unlike such an outward appearance, he was also a magic fool who was united by his quest for magic, which he devoted his whole life to research.
“Don’t look so disappointed. Just because you tell me this doesn’t mean you can follow it.”
“That word… ?”
However, Illyana did not answer the words of the red elder who expressed her doubts.
To be honest, the level Illyana has reached isn’t something she achieved purely through her own efforts.
Through the medium of the power of the goddess bestowed upon Eunhyeon, he transcended the limits of human thinking.
Because of that, he was able to digest the ignorant amount of computation and was able to implement spells and magic.
This is an impossible method for other mages, including the Red Elder.
It wasn’t that I wanted to show off or monopolize that method, but revealing her goddess existence was not something I particularly wanted to recommend.
“Right. I can’t help it.”
Aden believed her words even though she didn’t elaborate.
With just that affirmation, the request of the enemy elder was inevitably withdrawn.
“Then, sooner or later, we will send supplies and manpower to rebuild the Mage Tower.”
“… Is it that easy?”
Aden couldn’t understand the meaning of Eunhyun’s words for a moment.
It was natural that he did not understand his words that he could provide a large amount of goods and labor to restore the city.
How far is the distance from the Duchy of Armitas where he resides to the city of the Mage Tower, so is sooner or later a really appropriate word?
Although such questions remained, the meeting ended smoothly.
◆ ◆ ◆
Immediately after the meeting, Eun-hyeon returned home with his wives.
“Yes…”
Erin, who was sleeping soundly on Eunhyun’s back, was breathing evenly.
“You must have had a lot of trouble.”
At that time, after the engagement with Ray Nunn, Erin, who had exhausted her mind and collapsed, had not yet woken up.
The trauma itself was all recovered by Eleanor’s miracle and she had a peaceful complexion, but that also meant that her fatigue had accumulated.
“Erin worked hard.”
Eleanor smiled and told her about Erin’s performance.
“I see.”
Hearing of her wife’s saga of fighting steadfastly until she confronted Raynan head-on, wounded and passed out, she let out a laugh.
Illyana, who was walking with her, tilted her head.
“Why are you in such a hurry anyway?”
“Huh?”
“You look like you’re in a hurry.”
Illyana felt a sense of urgency from her hurried return to her home.
She seemed a little excited, not in a hurry.
She noticed that somehow, unlike usual, she was in a slightly good mood.
“… Is it?”
Eun-hyun, who was not aware of him, put on an expression that she did not know.
“Are you here?”
Upon arriving at her house, Lily greeted Eun-hyeon and her wives.
After putting Erin on the bed in the master bedroom, Eunhyun immediately prepared to go out.
The body is light.
Even so, the energy overflowing from his danteon clearly showed how complete his body, reconstructed through the metamorphosis of his bones, was.
As soon as possible, he wanted to mix Siete and the sword and test his grown-up self.
Thinking about it, Illyana smiled bitterly, saying that this might be the impatience she saw.
“Where are you going?”
“Wait a minute to see Master.”
“Oh, then how about dinner?”
“I’ll come in and have dinner. Get ready.”
“Yes. All right.”
Lily smiled and saw her Eunhyun off.
As soon as she returned home, she thought of Eun-hyeon, who went out right away, and she said Illyana was dumbfounded.
“Ha, are you already gone?”
How on earth was itching to go to my master to swing the sword right away?
I was stunned by the childlike side that I didn’t normally see.
Eleanor smiled bitterly next to her as if she couldn’t help it.
“Madams.”
Lily spoke to her two wives, who returned with her Eun-hyeon.
“Huh?”
“Lily?”
“There is something I’d like to give you one advice to the big madam and the little madam.”
Illyana and Eleanor listened attentively to Lily’s rhyming words with a smile.
“Actually, when the master woke up, he saw the master’s naked body…”
Illyana and Eleanor heard the detailed description of his lower body, which had undergone a shocking transformation, perhaps under the influence of the metamorphosis, and realized the meaning of Lily’s words.
“Huh. That’s right. How on earth has your strength improved, don’t we have the right to check it out too?”
They were the two wives who contributed the most to transforming his body.
Illyana licked her lips, imagining the prey she had to hunt.
