Resurrected Immortal 793

Chapter 793 – 793. Meeting of the Elders of the Mage Tower (1)

As soon as morning came, Eunhyeon went straight to the office of the Commissioner.
It was because Trev had been visiting since dawn and asked to attend the hastily held Mage Tower meeting.
Eun-hyeon was the only one who responded to Trev’s request from early morning.
Illyana and Erin were still asleep last night, probably because they were busy hugging each other and playing.
Especially in the morning, I didn’t bother waking up the two weak people.
Even if I tried to wake it, it was obvious that one would be annoyed, and the other would be thrown and not even move.

“Well, it’s pretty obvious why they’re calling you.”

She didn’t even have to wake up Illyana and Erin.

“Oh, you are here!”

As soon as he came to the office of the Commissioner, he came straight to Eun-hyeon and greeted him as if Trev had been waiting for him.
Eventually, he tilted his head at the fact that he had come alone, not three.

“Are you here alone? Miss Illyana… ?”

To be precise, he was looking for Illyana.

“Illyana is still sleeping. She is very weak in the morning.”

“Ah…”

“If it’s a business, I thought it would be better for me to hear it first, so I came here first.”

“Yeah, that’s right… Thank you very much for accommodating our request.”

Trev bowed his head as if he had no face, thanking him.
Following his guidance, Eun-hyeon entered the office of the elder.
Trev must have informed Eun-hyeon’s visit in advance, and Aden, the head of the office, was sitting at the reception table, not at the desk where he was working, waiting for Eun-hyeon.

“I’m sorry to see you alone.”

“No. I wondered if he would be like this.”

Aden smiled bitterly and accepted Eunhyun’s apology casually.
Aden is the teacher who raised Illyana in her childhood as her disciple.
Aden was well aware of her original character, who was troublesome in everything and did not do well in public activities.

“I thought she felt better after meeting you, but she didn’t.”

“What am I supposed to do?”

“Hasn’t that changed? I never dreamed that the guy who I thought would live in this mage tower for the rest of his life would go out into the world with you.”

The time 20 years ago, which she had never thought of even in her dreams, came up in Aden’s mind like a memory.
Soon, a look of bitterness lingered on his face, immersed in reminiscence.

“And I never thought I would cut ties with this place forever like that.”

When Eunhyeon met Iliana, who had died and was alone again, she did not have the face of a living person.
Then, when she cut off all ties with the world as well as the magic tower and chose her seclusion, she was a pretty big shock to Aden as well.
If she had returned to the Mage Tower as an eight-digit high-ranking wizard, she would have made a great contribution.

“I couldn’t force it.”

Her heart, which had been buried in her heart, eventually lost its object and could not be conveyed.
Her sense of loss caused her to be distraught, and she couldn’t bear to make her contribution by forcing her return to her mage’s tower.

“… I’m sorry.”

Eun-hyeon, who was the cause, lowered her head with a bitter expression.

“I won’t bother to ask how, for what reason, you, who I heard you died then, can still be alive in front of me now. But…”

Who Eun-hyeon was and how he was able to come back to life were not very important to Aden.
Aden always looked at Eunhyun with a serious expression.

“It’s annoying and troublesome, but I’m proud of raising her like my own daughter.”

Aden, who had no children and had grown old alone, had a family to speak of.
If I had to say it, Illyana, whom he brought, clothed, fed, and raised, recognized her talent as a mage and taught her magic, was special to Aden.

“So can you make him happy?”

The most important thing for Aden was Illyana’s happiness.

“… Of course. I will do my best.”

Eunhyun accepted Aden’s request with a bitter smile on her face.
As much as she knew Illyana from her past, who had been living like her delinquent, she was ashamed of herself for being irresponsible for causing it.

“Does she have a daughter?”

“Yes. I will probably grow up very pretty, just like my mother.”

I didn’t dare to ask her not to resemble her personality, but swallowed it inside her.
Aden, who was well aware of her Illyana’s appearance, laughed as if agreeing.

“Take him to the Mage Tower later. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I don’t intend to raise her as a wizard.”

It was just an old man’s greed to see her granddaughter’s face.
Eunhyeon, who hadn’t misunderstood from the beginning, also smiled and nodded his head.

“Now then, let’s move on to the original story.”

After finishing the bizarre conversation between her father-in-law and son-in-law, Aden’s eyes changed from her benevolent grandfather’s eyes to those of a serious Mage Tower elder.

“It made the inside of the Mage Tower quite noisy. Could it be that you intended it?”

“Of course.”

Illyana made a Philosopher’s Stone, and in the process, one of the highest-grade magic stones went over to the enemy tower.
It is a natural result that the inside of the Mage Tower became very noisy overnight.
Especially if it was a red tower that saw the top-notch magic stone in person.

“I’ve never seen it… From Trev’s reaction, I could tell that it wasn’t a lie.”

At dawn when the Philosopher’s Stone production work was finished, Trev returned to Aden immediately after handing over the top-notch magic crystal that Eunhyeon had handed over to the enemy tower.

“This old man is a mess because he hasn’t slept all night. I was really surprised how. Haha.”

“Well, wasn’t that a big deal?”

Trev reacted with embarrassment, as if he knew that he had disrespected his teacher and elder Aden.
But Trev at dawn was so excited that he really forgot about it.
At first, it was very painful to have to hand over the top-notch magicite to the Red Tower, but I thought it was urgent to let Aden know that I had succeeded in producing the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’.
Having succeeded in producing the legendary artifact called the wizard’s dream, it is only natural that the status of the blue tower would skyrocket just by showing the real thing.

“For now, please don’t announce the fact that you made the Philosopher’s Stone.”

“Yes? Why?”

“It was made for Illyana’s personal use, not to raise the status of the Blue Tower publicly.”

Besides, Eunhyeon hadn’t properly heard what Illyana was going to use the Philosopher’s Stone for.

“That…”

Trev was visibly embarrassed.
It was because it was not right for him to blow away the opportunity he had come to.
However, because of Eun-hyeon’s resolute expression, he couldn’t express his dissatisfaction with it.

“… Right. Is that why I made another top-notch magic stone?”

Aden seemed to understand Eunhyun’s thoughts.

“What are you talking about?”

“Literally. From the beginning, this friend was planning to hand over a top-notch magic stone to the red tower.”

“… Ah.”

Treve belatedly remembered what Illyana had said.

[What am I doing? I don’t have complicated thoughts like that. It is he who asked me to make another while making it.]

From the beginning, Eunhyeon produced one top-notch magic crystal to induce this situation.
As expected, the Red Tower must be making numerous inquiries to the Blue Tower, which has sent the highest level magic crystals.

“The question of the Red Tower is probably how to make this top-notch magic stone, right?”

“… That’s right. The Red Tower has asked you to share how it was made.”

It’s usually something that doesn’t happen often.
Artifact production methods are like a lifeline for ordinary artisans.
Sharing it with others is something that can cause damage to yourself.
Especially in a composition where there is a rival group like this mage tower, there is no choice but to do it.
The fact that the wizards of the Red Tower risked their pride and made a request to the Blue Tower was because this situation was exceptional.

“To think that magic stones can be artificially produced… I can understand the feelings of the Red Tower. Haha.”

If we can produce magic stones, we can promote various developments by supplying magic stones to many fields that are needed.
It’s not even an ordinary magic stone, it’s a top-notch magic stone.
It is only natural that they ask from early in the morning as if they are mad to know.

“Wouldn’t it be enough to regain the status of the Blue Tower just by disclosing this production method?”

“Hmm, I guess.”

So, it was Eun-hyeon’s own negotiation not to announce that he had made the Philosopher’s Stone.

“It’s already time.”

“Hour?”

“The meeting was set up in a hurry. With that top-notch magic stone thing.”

An emergency meeting attended by many high-ranking wizards belonging to the Red, Blue, and Green Towers.
Eunhyun’s eyes lit up.

“That meeting. Can I attend?”

“… Hmm.”

Aden was worried.
Eun-hyeon doesn’t belong to this mage tower, and she’s not even a wizard.
I couldn’t decide whether it would be okay to have him, an outsider, attend the Mage Tower’s elders’ meeting.

“Wouldn’t that be fine?”

Surprisingly, it was Trev who gave a positive answer.

“Why do you think so?”

“Eunhyeon-nim is not a wizard, but he has excellent knowledge and insights that are incomparable to ordinary wizards. I am… I witnessed some of it first hand.”

Trev was shocked to see Eun-hyeon, who wrote countless magic formulas on the magic circle drawn inside the huge studio.

“Huh.”

Aden made a surprised expression.
I couldn’t figure out what had happened to send such trust to Eun-hyeon, who wasn’t even a wizard.

‘It’s strange when you think about it.’

Illyana in her virgin days, who was not interested in anything other than magic, went on a journey following this man who had been looking for the Mage Tower at the time.
What did she see in him that made her make that choice?
Isn’t this a good opportunity to check it out for yourself?
Also, being Illyana’s husband could also serve as one of the reasons why the magicians of the Mage Tower could not treat Eunhyun lightly.

“Good. Let’s go together.”

After thinking about it, Aden let out a small sigh and allowed her Eun-hyeon to participate.

“It’s the first time in my life that I’ve done so much worrying.”

“But as much as I received, I will definitely do the work.”

Eunhyun smiled and said confidently.
Arden is the benefactor who accepted Illyana’s request and prepared the materials needed to make the Philosopher’s Stone.
Eun-hyeon also wanted to repay that grace.

“You… What are you aiming for?”

“Well. There’s nothing I’m aiming for. But… It seems that the elder of the Red Tower did not like my wife returning to the Mage Tower.”

“… So?”

Aden made a strange expression when he saw Eunhyun speak in a meaningful tone.

“Shouldn’t we make him compliant first?”
