Chapter 273 – 24. Sorcery Kingdom Springfield
Siu Han opened the express mail from the Kingdom of Palania.
It is the mail that arrives the fastest, but there is also a magic crystal orb that is directly connected between the two. In other words, the only thing that can be contacted by express mail is the one that was promised in advance.
‘Your work seems to have been completed well.’
I thought so.
In the first place, the outcome of the negotiations had been told to Elaine in advance.
I was sure that they would contact me soon unless Springfield went crazy and changed their mind and continued their tricks in Palania. And since that is unlikely, I have no choice but to contact you as soon as possible.
“He was really greedy.”
Tsk.
He didn’t have a direct conversation with the Illegal Mage Master, but he heard the process from beginning to end from Elaine. Truly tight wheat. The Illygirl Mage Master was so meticulous that he handed over and conceded more than expected.
Thanks I figured it out
This woman is really a class that can’t be related.
A naturally greedy person.
A human full of desire.
That was Siwoo’s evaluation of her.
A mage who has reached an extreme level based on greed that surpasses talent.
It’s head-wrenching in many ways.
‘I’d like to put it under surveillance in case of an unexpected situation…’
She is a staunch profitist who goes far beyond the merchants of the Ocean Kingdom.
She is a woman who is likely to betray even the Continent if interests are staked on her, but funny enough, in the first playthrough, she stood on the Continent’s side until the end. Thanks to this, various rumors have circulated, but he doesn’t know which one is the answer.
No matter how much she pursues greed, whether the continent had priority, or whether she misjudged that the continent had a better chance than the demons. For him at the time, and for Siu now, I couldn’t understand the thoughts of the Illegal Mage Master.
“This is… As expected, it would be better to ask Marie.”
Perhaps she would grant her request despite her grumbling.
“If not…”
“Siwoo-sama, we have arrived.”
“Ah, yes.”
I came to my senses at Hildear’s words, which were alone in deep thought.
Returning to the Kingdom of Palania the day after tomorrow, practically two days left in the Kingdom of Sorcery.
After much thought, Siu decided to work today as well.
That’s how I came back to the Hepatos Mage Tower, which I visited for the second time in Springfield.
He asked for a visit, hoping that it would be possible this time, but he was unexpectedly allowed.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you, Yu…”
“Stop. I’ve abandoned that name, so just call me Hepatos Magic Tower Master. Or call me the Magic Tower Master for short.”
“I understand, Lord of the Tower.”
Hepatos, the mage tower where wizards specializing in artifact production are gathered.
The master of the mage tower here is a male hero from another world.
Due to his introverted personality, he now rarely engages in public activities, but he is an old man who has gained immense popularity and received countless requests for each artifact he creates. His representative artifact is the bed used during the graduation ceremony of the warrior training camp.
“So, why did you come to see me?”
“Isn’t that a request?”
“Hmm.”
“I’m more curious about the reason why the Mage Tower Lord met me.”
“Huh? Hehe. I was just curious. Will you really be able to end this long, long war?”
“…”
The moment Siwoo doubted his ears.
The end of the war mentioned by the mage lord.
He himself never made any public statements about this goal.
All I know is the people around me, the nameless gathering of the Holy Empire, and the goddess.
The most plausible of these is, of course, the meeting side.
I’m sure the first saint said that. Members of the gathering are not limited to the Holy Empire.
‘Then maybe… ?’
My eyes naturally went to Elaine sitting next to me. But she also seemed to be perplexed. That is, they are not members of the group. Then, of course, she wouldn’t be a goddess.
“Hehe, you seem to have a lot of thoughts. I’m still immature.”
“…Have you tried it?”
“That’s right. How can you not be curious as your actions so far prove your goal?”
“Hmm…”
After thinking for a moment, Siu easily understood his words.
Certainly ran too much in less than half a year.
Outside activities rather than missions. It has already spread its influence to and from many countries.
If you take a step away from jealousy or respect and look at it coldly, you will have questions.
What does Siwoo Han really want?
Hepatos Magic Tower Master judged it as a preparation to end the war.
“I won’t hide that I’ve already been caught. That’s right. My purpose is to bring the power of the continent together to end the war against the demons. I’m trying to get cooperation from each country for that.”
“Hehe, that’s great. It’s really virtual.”
The Magic Tower Master sincerely admired it.
How can a modern earthling who was summoned to another world less than a year ago have such a strong sense of justice?
Surprising.
Furthermore, isn’t this a reverse world with a different concept of sexuality from the majority of the world? Although it may not be seen as completely reversed, a lively man in his prime tends to be more interested in other things than the duty of a warrior.
Still doing well
Both of them too.
I don’t worry too much because I’m not biased to one side, but I’m fulfilling my duties and fulfilling my desires appropriately. How can a man who has a proper gap and makes things to protect can have impure intentions.
“Okay. I’ve decided. I accept your request.”
“Yes? I haven’t told you what it is yet?”
“It doesn’t matter. There’s nothing I can’t make anyway.”
“And…”
Arrogant remarks.
But it suits
The old man in front of me was a skilled man who was well qualified to say these things.
“Okay, what do you want?”
“I, once…”
Siu put what he had thought in his mouth with a confused face.
The more he spoke, the more serious his expression changed, and the same was true of the old man listening to the request.
‘As expected, it’s different.’
I thought he would lightly wish for an artifact related to enhancing the party’s specs or convenience, but this was an unexpected request. No, in a sense, it was extremely pitiful. I never thought I would ask for something like this myself.
‘No, it’s different. I guess you want me to make something like this. If it’s not me, it’ll be hard to touch.’
“That’s about it. How can it be possible…”
“Hehe, didn’t I tell you earlier?”
“Um. Sorry.”
“No. It could be.”
“Haha… Ah, then the request money…”
“No need.”
“Yes? No, but…”
“It’s fine. It’s just going to take some time to make. You wouldn’t think it would be soon anyway, so it’ll be fine, right?”
“Of course.”
It’s not something you need right away.
So I’d rather make it roughly, I didn’t need it, and I wanted to improve the completeness while leaving plenty of time. That’s why he was trying to make a request to the Hepatos Mage Master, who had more craftsmanship than any other wizard.
“Hmm… This is not a request, but a personal gift.”
“…? What do you mean?”
“I’ll make another one. I’ll receive a request for this according to the standard.”
“…Thank you.”
Hehe.”
Siwoo gets up from his seat and bows down to his waist to say thanks.
The Magic Tower Master just laughed lowly.
That appearance seemed uncomfortable to Hildear and Elaine, who accompanied Siu.
Well-intentioned consideration, not simply out of goodwill.
And it wasn’t just the two of them that felt it.
“What’s the reason you’re doing this, Lord of the Tower?”
“Reason…”
The old man muttered softly and stroked his chin.
Uncharacteristically for Asians, his abundant white beard swayed here and there.
“Hey. How much do you know about demons and demons?”
“Yes? Suddenly, why…”
“Answer first.”
“Umm. First of all… I think I know more than others.”
“I see. Then I don’t know about this.”
“…?”
“Devil.”
“…?!”
At that unbelievable word, Siwoo’s eyes widened to the size of a lamp.
A word I never thought I would hear from someone’s mouth, and even from the continent, not the demons.
‘Devil? The demon king who united and led the demons during the final war?’
“M-Demon King. What the hell is that?”
Strange name I’ve never heard of.
However, Elaine couldn’t control herself and intervened in the ominous name of existence that was felt just by that.
When Elaine apologized in embarrassment just by the magic tower master’s glance, he shook his head saying it was okay. Rather, he told them to talk comfortably and smiled while looking at the two sitting on either side of Siwoo.
And soon it hardened again.
“From now on, what I’m going to say is top secret. So, if possible, please don’t tell anyone.”
The old man who had been so lucky opened his mouth recalling the past.
“About 40 years ago. So it’s during the 3rd Human War. The Continent gathered its strength and organized a secret unit. A small elite commando unit that gathered the rest leaving only enough to maintain the front line.”
The lord of the mage tower with a sad expression.
Hearing this alone, it was clear that the commandos had failed and that many had died there.
The emotion on the face of the Master of the Magic Tower was his longing for his comrades at the time.
“The goal is the Mystica Empire, the only empire located in the Southern Continent and serving all six Demon Gods. Its center is the Great Temple, also known as the Magic Station. They raided it and tried to cut off the connection with the Six Demon Gods. Then they found it.”
“Discovery…?”
It was a strange word.
Discovery, not encounter.
He thought he was talking about a demon king, but he seems to be pointing out inanimate objects.
His question was right.
“Yes, it’s a discovery. Egg. There was a large egg on the altar there. An egg large enough for one person to enter.”
“…”
“We felt it instinctively. It was absolutely impossible to leave this egg. At that moment, the egg broke and a woman came out. With black hair and black eyes that seemed to contain the darkness intact… A demon king.”
Hildear swallowed dry saliva at the faint fear felt in the mage master’s voice.
What kind of existence is it that even the best mage on the continent is afraid of?
Even if that was 40 years ago.
“After that, it’s as expected. We were defeated. We barely escaped, but the damage was great. Of course, we didn’t just get helplessly. So, the demon king hasn’t appeared and the continent is intact.”
“I guess so.”
“The demon king said as soon as he came out of the egg. It’s annoying. Because of you, he said he couldn’t complete himself. That means…”
“You mean you went back into the egg to be finished?”
“For now, we think so. I don’t know if it will take a few more years.”
I haven’t heard anything more
With the appearance of the demon king, the seven nations and six demons of the demon world sincerely joined forces.
And the final war began.
The demon king will wake up in the next 10 years or so.
“We lost miserably and ran away, but after that we analyzed the demon king in various ways. We learned quite a bit. First of all, the demon king is a kind of lion made by combining the heaps of six demon gods. We are probably saints or saints.”
“The six demons put it all together…”
“Yes. There are many things added to it, so it has to be stronger.”
“…”
A heavy silence filled the room.
The existence of the Demon King was truly unexpected, and Siwoo, who knew about its existence, did not expect that the Demon King would be so enormous. He just judged him to be the strongest demon leader in the demon realm.
“…Lord of the Magic Tower.”
“Why?”
“So… What does the favor you do for me have to do with the Demon King?”
“…We came to a conclusion after analyzing the demon lord.”
“…?”
“The thing that can defeat the Demon Lord is not force, but phallic power.”
“…?”
