Chapter 707 – Side Story Episode 41. The Story After That (41)
– Iris Guild is the best guild in the world!
A sentence that has become so natural now that it is not even objectionable.
Lee Ho-yeon also understood this in his head because he had heard it countless times from people around him.
‘Okay. Iris Guild is the best in the world?’
But deep down, I may have been too dismissive of the fact that it is the best guild in the world.
Scarlett, Ellis, Irene, Dr. Kang Hyo-rin… Since they were all close to Lee Ho-yeon, I wasn’t really interested in how great the Iris Guild was.
“… What is all this?”
Hoyeon Lee gaped at the sight of the huge factories lined up.
The place we arrived at following Ellis and Irene was a nearby factory area.
It wasn’t my first time seeing the factory area, but I was surprised to see that the entire area was owned by the Iris Guild.
“It’s a magic tool factory. We’re making a subspace pocket here. Iris Guild’s products are sturdy and have a good reputation.”
Ellis, wearing sunglasses, was standing next to Hoyeon Lee.
It seemed like it wasn’t her illusion that she looked cool today.
“Is this entire land owned by the Iris Guild? To the factory?”
“Of course. “I’m only going to take a quick look around this facility, so follow me quickly.”
“Is there another place?”
“I can’t tour the business anymore. There are dozens of these around the world. Now let’s go to the other side.”
“Dozens… ?”
The manufacturing process of magic tools is much simpler than that of electronic products or engineering products.
But if there are dozens of such factories… How much money are you spending?
‘I need to be nice to my father-in-law.’
Next time I see you, I’ll have to take you to Cheese Soft Tofu House.
Scarlett didn’t like it, but the guild leader is a man, so she’ll definitely like it.
Hoyeon Lee followed behind Ellis and nodded at her.
“Ellis. “Have you met the manager?”
Irene, wearing sunglasses like Ellis, adjusted her schedule by operating her smartwatch.
“Huh. Sister. Next, let’s go to the lab.”
It was my first time seeing Irene and Ellis at work.
The two of them looked even prettier today in their uniforms, and they were office ladies that men envied.
“Mr. Irene. Is there a research institute affiliated with the Iris Guild?
“Huh. It was probably known that we stopped by the factory, so there would be a lot of reporters around. Be careful.”
“All right. Mr. Irene.”
After leaving the factory area.
Only then did Hoyeon Lee find out why Irene and Ellis were wearing sunglasses.
“Cadet Lee Ho-yeon! “I’m a fan!”
“You’re so handsome!”
“Thank you. Thank you.”
The area around Iris Guild’s laboratory was already full of people.
Not only were there many reporters, but there were also many ordinary people, and most of the popular people were Ellis and Irene.
“Sister Elise! Please look this way!”
“Irene! “I love you!”
Ellis and Irene waved their hands as if they were familiar, and Ho-yeon Lee continued her steps, glaring at the man who said she loved him.
‘Elise and Irene are almost idols in France.’
Actually, it’s not strange.
Lee Ho-yeon would react like this if he walked around the streets of Korea.
She usually casts a perception-impairing spell because she doesn’t need to show off, but when she has something to do, she shows her face.
“Is it true that wizard Lee Ho-yeon is also participating in the party hosted by Three Star!?”
“Please say a word about the collaboration between Wizard Lee Ho-yeon and Iris Guild!”
I don’t know how they knew, but reporters were camped out in front of the lab.
Ellis seemed familiar and came forward to be interviewed.
“Today, I am asking wizard Lee Ho-yeon for advice on researching magic tools. “I’ll talk about something important at the upcoming party.”
We only exchanged brief greetings and entered the lab.
As soon as the reporters’ gaze disappeared, Lee Ho-yeon clung to Ellis.
“Ellis. Do you have any advice for the researcher? “I don’t know much about magic tools.”
“I just said it, so don’t worry about it. Still, you have to show your face to the researchers. “It would also be quite effective for those people to spread the word.”
“They’re researchers, not reporters?”
“Nowadays, with the development of communities and social media, anyone can access and share information. The fact that reporters and ordinary people came here is proof of that. Just spreading the rumor that wizard Lee Ho-yeon is close to the Iris Guild to people around you has a positive effect.”
It was Irene who answered Hoyeon Lee’s question.
She said, flipping her hologram monitor with one hand.
Ho-yeon Lee looked at Irene in surprise.
“… Mr. Irene. Do you look nice today? “I feel like an expert.”
“I don’t know what you always thought of me… I’m an expert. Because he is the leader of the 1st Division of the Iris Guild.’
Now, it has become a given that the next guild leader of the Iris Guild will be Ellis, but before that, Irene was the best ace of the Iris Guild.
Of course, Hoyeon Lee didn’t know that.
“I just thought my brother was stupid.”
“Are you looking at it correctly? But it’s her fault that Alice is cute. The cold smile she gave reporters earlier was both cool and cute…”
“I think I know what you mean. It’s a little different from the smile I usually wear… “Evil!”
“… “I wish you wouldn’t say something like that in front of the person involved.”
Ellis blushed and stepped on Lee Ho-yeon’s foot.
She couldn’t bear to hit her own sister, so she hit Lee Ho-yeon.
Inside the lab, researchers were busy working.
Ellis and Irene went to meet the manager, and Hoyeon Lee stood alone and exchanged greetings with the researchers.
“Nice to see you. “I am Akersey, the chief researcher of the Iris Guild.”
“Hello. Mr. Ackersey. This is Lee Ho-yeon, a wizard. She came in an advisory role… “I’m just going to skim through it, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Hoyeon Lee shook hands with Akersy and then looked around.
Magic tools, magic circles, healing medicines, etc…
We won’t study them all in the same place.
It looks like they gathered prototypes because Ellis and Irene were visiting.
Hoyeon Lee narrowed her eyes and picked up the magic tool that was close to her.
“This is a protection spell. Is it a self-defense item?”
“Yes. It is a magic tool for self-defense that anyone can use. “It’s about to be released soon.”
In fact, there is a long distance between self-defense products and Lee Ho-yeon, but it is not difficult to see it from the eyes of the public.
Lee Ho-yeon was unable to use magic for a longer period of time.
I was able to figure out how the magic tool worked just by briefly reading the magic power inside.
“It’s a mechanism where, just by pressing it, the magic power built into the magic tool completes the magic circle. The magic contained is ultra-high temperature air… Since it was made for civilian use, it doesn’t contain a lot of magical power, so its power is a bit disappointing.”
“Bur, have you already interpreted the magic circle? As expected, wizard Lee Ho-yeon… !”
Akersy did not hide his surprised expression.
This is because she thought that she would definitely learn something if she received advice from wizard Lee Ho-yeon.
“It’s not bad. But wouldn’t ultra-high-temperature air be a bit weak for self-defense magic?”
“Ah, it is a product for civilians who cannot use magic, so it is difficult to insert high-level magic. If you want, you can add better magic, but if it is too expensive, it is meaningless, so there is also a cost issue.”
“No. I think we just need to change it a little bit here.”
Sreuk-
The magical power that came from Lee Ho-yeon’s fingertips began to stir the tense magic tool.
The magic circle inside the magic tool was a pretty good magic circle even by Lee Ho-yeon’s standards, but it seemed like a better effect could have been achieved with a little refinement.
“Oh, it could be dangerous if you touch it carelessly… Uh. Uh… ?”
Ackersey’s eyes, who were surprised by Lee Ho-yeon’s magical power, began to grow bigger.
Although he was recognized as a commercial wizard and joined the Iris Guild, the magic performed by the wizard in front of him was of a different level.
Sreureuk- Jiik-
The magic power that had been connected and torn at random began to gradually form an assortment, and soon Akash was able to understand the magic tools.
“It’s a magic circle that fires ultra-high-temperature air like a compressed bullet. It can operate with the same magic power, and the size of the magic circle is the same.”
“Unbelievable…”
I’ve heard a lot about wizard Lee Ho-yeon, but seeing his abilities in person was even more surprising.
But Akersy shook his head with a regretful expression.
Although the magic itself was excellent, it was difficult to use commercially.
“Wizard Lee Ho-yeon. Thank you for the really great magic. However, with such good performance, there is a possibility that it can be misused for crime, and the possibility of an accident is high…”
“Do not worry. There are also safety devices to prevent life-threatening injuries. And the moment you use the magic tool, magical energy will be connected between that person and the magic tool. If you examine the traces, you will be able to find it quickly even if it is used for crime.”
“…”
All processing was completed in that short period of time.
Akash looked at Hoyeon Lee as he took the prototype.
“We will try to release it as quickly as possible. “Can I publicize that I received advice from wizard Lee Ho-yeon?”
“What… “There is nothing that cannot be done.”
“Thank you! I will pass this on to the marketing team.”
“Yes. “Go ahead.”
Akash bowed his head and disappeared to the other side of the laboratory.
Ellis came inside as if she was crossing him and approached Hoyeon Lee, tilting her head.
“What’s the matter? “This is the first time I’ve seen Akersi so excited.”
“I helped modify the magic circle, and he said he wanted to publicize that I consulted on it, so I asked him to do so.”
“Good. “I will send you a contract later, so please check.”
“What is the contract between us?”
“That’s why I’m doing it. “The closer the relationship, the more certain the financial transactions should be.”
Ellis turned on her smartwatch and sent a message to Hoyeon Lee to deliver her contract.
Then she turned her head again and grabbed Lee Ho-yeon’s arm, who had a blank expression.
“The consultation is over, right? Let’s go out quickly.”
“Where are we going this time?”
“The work is done. Now I have to go spend time with my sister. “You have to go together too, so follow me.”
“Ellis! Hoyeon Lee! “You were here!”
Hoyeon Lee smiled faintly as he saw Irene running from beyond.
I feel like I will be dragged around all day today.
