Magic Tower, Golem, Test (2)
After that, Harang’s days were a repetitive cycle of waking up at dawn, visiting the magic tower, challenging Natalen and losing, then returning to the mansion, groaning and falling into sleep as if fainting.
After about a week, the servants at the mansion also noticed that there was something strange about Harang’s condition. I couldn’t help but be concerned that the once fine young master would have a hard time falling asleep in a cold sweat and would go out somewhere with bleary eyes every morning.
Even if you ask me what I’m doing when I go out, the only answer I get is that I’m practicing magic.
Sword training was prohibited, but there was no reason to stop the training of magic, so the servants did not argue anymore.
However, a report regarding this incident will be sent to Duke Kal-El.
‘It won’t matter. He said that if you’re going to challenge magic, aim for the top… … .’
Today, as usual, he was about to leave the mansion, when a maid was wandering around, saw him, and came running towards him.
“Hey, hey, master! It looks like you haven’t been feeling well lately, so I gave you some medicine… … .”
Harang stared at the cloth-covered basket and then looked at the maid’s expression. She just had the face of a woman who seemed very shy, but her harang showed a slightly different side.
“What’s your name?”
“yes? It’s called Soirin… … .”
A wisp of cold sweat ran down her cheek. Slightly trembling fingertips.
Harang didn’t miss it.
“Thank you, Soirin. “I’m not used to this kind of favor.”
“No… … “I want to see you get healthy.”
“I’ll eat sparingly.”
After leaving the mansion, Harang slightly lifted the cloth covering the basket. Her contents were round pills made by crushing healthy herbs and grains, including pine nuts, beans, and carrots.
“hmm… … .”
Harang’s silver eyes lit up, and the corner of his mouth twisted.
I knew that there was no one on my side within the family, but I had no idea it would turn out like this.
‘It’s mixed with poison.’
It’s not just poison. This, also called ‘Sangong Poison’, was one of the materials used for ‘magic suppression restraints’ made to subdue those who had trained their magical powers.
If consumed in large quantities, ordinary people can die instantly, and wizards and knights will lose their mana over a long period of time.
Of course, there are no detoxification methods such as fortune-telling or special detoxification methods, but… … It was obvious that the intention was to mix acid poison into the pills in such a small amount.
The goal is not to prevent the use of magical power, but to suppress growth by allowing poison to accumulate in the body over a long period of time.
‘This would be a method completely banned in Caladorn.’
Harang put the pill in his hand and rolled it around. If this kind of injustice is mixed in with the battle for rank between blood relatives, limbs will be cut off and eyes will be pulled out.
‘I don’t know who it is… … .’
If Dulmi was caught, I had no intention of letting it go.
However, going out of your way to find the culprit right away could also be a ploy by the other party. Harang has no intention of falling for such a low-level trick.
‘It’s okay to find the culprit later.’
Right now, performance comes first.
Today too, Harang’s challenge was not going to stop.

After the Kaladun Blood Judgment was over.
As soon as Castia, the second prince of Herael, returned to the royal castle of Landelgaitz, she locked herself in her palace and did not move for a week.
It was so shocking that not only did he lose his credit, but he was refuted in the referee by Harang, who was three years younger than him.
Now that he has found out that Harang, whom he thought was weaker than him, is even better at swordsmanship and is even skilled in magic, it may be natural for him to be deeply heartbroken.
That’s all.
“Your brother handed over the ‘Golden Wheel’ to the person in Kaladun?”
“yes… … .”
“Heh, that’s ridiculous. “It’s such a precious thing.”
The golden wheel was a very precious pill given only to the royal family of Herael. It was a legendary elixir that greatly improved the magical power of the user and cleaned the blood vessels, making it very effective during the growth period.
It was manufactured only for the Herael royal family, and each blood family was given only one, so it had to be treated with great care.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that one of the reasons why the blood relatives of the Herael royal family were able to use swordsmanship and magic that were particularly strong compared to their age was because of the Golden Wheel… … .
“If that is taken away from you, your brother will become weaker than me in the future, right?”
Citrine, the only princess of the Herael royal family, twisted her golden hair.
Her eyes, which resembled golden crystals, were particularly sparkling.
“There’s no chance Abama can make another one, right?”
The head maid shook her head at her question. Maid Jang was a noblewoman who had served the royal family of Hera El for a long time, and she had a complete understanding of the politics taking place inside the imperial palace.
“yes. Since you gave it away through a fair bet, you probably don’t think you deserve it back. “If I were to give you one more, they would think I was taking my pact with Kaladun lightly.”
Every member of the royal family receives only one golden wheel. There are no exceptions. Castia was not even the crown prince but the second prince, so there was no reason for her to take care of him.
“It seems that His Highness the Prince has suffered great heartache.”
“Hmm… … .”
When Brother Castia, who was always confident and talented in swordsmanship, said that he would be carrying out a joint mission with Kaladun, I had deep hopes that his big nose would break.
Even more so, when you heard that the blood relative of his opponent Kaladan was none other than ‘Prince Harang’, didn’t you secretly cheer for him even more?
Harang, the genius boy of the century!
Citrine had a deep curiosity and fondness for Duke Kal-El, who broke the family rules and adopted him as his successor.
“Still, I wanted to hear the story directly from my brother… … .”
What does Harang look like, what kind of impression does he have, and does he have the appearance of a dashing and cool hero like rumored, etc.
“I wonder if we would have had a chance to meet if I had learned swordsmanship instead of magic.”
Citrine floated a three-star magic circle of ice and fire on both palms.
Grumble!
Multi-casting, which an average wizard could only use if he or she had reached at least 5 stars, was unfolding in the palm of the hand of a girl who had achieved 3 stars at the age of only fourteen.
In fact, casting opposing magic at the same time, even though they are not of the same nature, is impossible unless you have a certain level of talent.
“I’m so, so curious. What kind of person is this? “Are you also interested in magic?”
She thought of the boy with interested eyes.
It was difficult to imagine just the impressions I heard from my brother, so I had no choice but to quickly open my eyes.
“… … “That person is probably living a happier life than me, right?”
Deep down, I was jealous.
Because he has already proven his talent perfectly by showing it to the world.
People look at him not as ‘Harang of Caladun’ but as ‘Harang, a genius swordsman.’ Citrine… … He wanted to do that himself someday.
“Well, I guess I will be there someday! Ah, I want to meet you soon.”
She lightly shook off her worries, turned off the magic, and ran down the hallway at a brisk pace.
I look forward to meeting that boy someday.

In the Herael Empire, the royal capital of Garandel, the ‘Golden Magic Tower’ for the great sage Raylic stood tall.
The golden tower, which is more brilliant and dazzlingly beautiful than any other magic tower in the world, was the goal and object of envy for all wizards studying magic in the royal capital, but in fact, Raylic rarely uses this place.
The only place that is used frequently is the small garden on the rooftop.
This garden, where a cool breeze blows and the sun always shines warmly, was a strictly forbidden place where no one dared to visit, but today a guest came and was waiting.
Duke Kal-El Paul Caladhan.
He was standing alone in the garden on the roof of the Golden Tower with his back to himself, looking at the scenery of the royal capital Garandel.
“Hey, have you waited long~?”
A man with messy hair landed at the back of the garden and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
Even though Kal-El saw that he was late for his appointment, he did not reprimand him and immediately brought up his business.
“result?”
“Whew, that’s not affectionate. “Is that what you do to someone who returns after a long time?”
Raylic took out a piece of paper coated with magic from his pocket and sent it flying towards Kal-El.
“Well, to sum it up, I found his whereabouts. ‘Estelle’.”
“… … .”
Estelle. Treated as a kind of ‘new item’, it was one of the most special jewels on the Astera continent.
It was known to have the effect of greatly amplifying the owner’s power, but that was not its true power.
‘He who has Estel will be chosen by the Dragon King of the Moon.’
Finally, Kal-El, thinking that the time had come, closed his eyes.
“I said that not long ago, Estelle was losing her luster. So it was impossible to track it and it was difficult to find the owner, but not anymore.”
“… … “Has the shine returned to Estelle, the tears of the stars?”
“Hehe, exactly.”
“Then, where is the first Estelle?”
“So, I have to tell you some unfortunate news?”
Raylic crossed his arms and sighed.
“Magic School, Arniel.”
“… … .”
Kal-El frowned slightly at the name of the institution that came out of his mouth.
“I confirmed that Estelle was transported to Arniel and kept there. You know what I mean, right? “You’d better give up on that Estelle.”
Magic School Arniel is the most prestigious school. It was built a long time ago to prepare for the war against the demon army, so it was a huge fortress in itself.
I don’t know if that’s all, but Arniel is an organization supported by Ainglass, the world’s most powerful magic house.
In other words, it was safe to say that the first Estelle was actually owned by Ainglass.
“Now that I think about it, aren’t there wizards deployed to Arniel in the name of Caladern?”
As Arniel has the nickname ‘the world’s best magic school’, it may seem that it is far away from the swordsman Caladern, but in fact, it is involved in it to a significant extent.
The reason is simple. This is because the Duke of Kaladan was a famous family of heroes and a principality before it was a famous swordsman.
Science on Earth is magic on the continent of Astera, and for the advancement of technology, there was no choice but to naturally lean towards researching magic.
Of course, since it was a study of technical life magic rather than the battle magic of sorcerers, it cannot be called a magic master, but Caladun’s ‘Silver Magic Tower’ is quite famous for its technical skills.
Based on such magic technology, businesses were spread all over the world like octopus feet. Representative examples include ‘Harana Canal’, the center of trade in the Central Continent, ‘Steel Nest’, a city of blacksmiths, and ‘Temperance Association’, an economic city.
“I heard that they also exercise influence through a significant stake in Arniel. Is there any way we can make a move?”
“If you look at it that way, it’s meaningless.”
It cannot be said that it was completely uninfluenced by Caladern, but Ainglass owned almost half of Arniel’s shares.
It was impossible to appoint a Caladern person to a key position in Arniel, and the authority to intervene in important matters was severely lacking.
Most of the agents were professors or researchers, but had no authority to access tears.
It is said that even though they were working in the field, they had not even heard that Estelle had entered Arniel.
“But you’re saying it’s really okay to just hand Estelle over~? “The Dragon King of the Moon was originally Kaladun, your family’s guardian guardian.”
“… … .”
Duke Kal-el, who was quietly meditating while looking at the scenery of Garandel, suddenly had an interesting thought and smiled.
“All of the agents who infiltrated the faculty are on Arniel’s watch list anyway.”
“huh? yes?”
“Then, what about students?”
“student… … ?”
Raylic, who immediately realized Kal-El’s thoughts, looked shocked.
“You, really? No? really?”
Kal-El did not respond to his question but smiled faintly.
“I’ll contact you again next time.”
Whiing… !!
When Duke Kal-El disappeared with a few words, Raylic was still laughing without being able to erase his shocked expression.
“Huh… … “I will be tasked with a mission that no direct blood relative has ever undertaken before.”
