Embrace the Magic (130)
People began to gather at the site where the giant demon had died.
Yesterday afternoon, the tower lords and magicians of the Landes Tower arrived, and at midnight, the knights who had lured the giant beast returned.
When morning came, mercenaries who had encountered giant demons at least once, as well as soldiers from the Hedens region, gathered together. In addition, there were nobles riding in magnificent carriages.
There were more than 1,000 people gathered in the small open space. With so many people gathered, it was difficult to even get a good look at the huge demon.
“It’s noisy.”
“Have you come out, Lord Tower?”
“Yeah. Why are there so many people gathered here all of a sudden?”
“Isn’t it because of the devil? Because the monster that devastated both countries is dead.”
Most of the people were gathered around the corpse of the demon. Many people even climbed up on the carriage to watch.
“Tsk, I’ll keep order.”
“People are wondering who killed that guy.”
“Well, I guess you’re curious. The person in question will be here today, so let him know that we’ll be able to meet soon.”
It was yesterday afternoon that Rodin killed the giant demon. It hasn’t even been a day.
Yet the kingdoms of Thebia and Lennox were seething.
In every bar in the downtown area, there was a constant stream of stories about giant demons and the heroes who captured them. Even people who had never seen a battle scene described it so vividly as if they had seen it themselves.
“Okay, I understand. But……”
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“There’s a rumor going around that our Magic Tower has captured a giant demon. What should we do?”
Among those gathered here, the strongest single force was the Landes Tower. It just so happened that the magicians of the Landes Tower arrived here yesterday.
Due to the circumstances surrounding the incident, the rumor that Landes Tower had captured the giant beast was spreading as if it were true.
“Why don’t you just tell me the truth? Are you really after the credit for catching that monster?”
“No. Why would I covet a merit that I didn’t even get? The truth will be revealed soon. It’s just that I don’t know anything to explain to people.”
“Hmm, his name is Rodin. His age… Hmm, I don’t know. I’m sure he’s young.”
Francis Topju also had not seen Rodin’s face. He knew nothing about him except that his voice was not very old and that he was of considerable height and a solid build.
‘It looks like the face was intentionally covered.’
The moment Rodin ascended the 7th circle, Charis and Jenna were blocking him. After ascending the 7th circle, he was wearing a robe and had his hood pulled down low.
‘Even while saving his siblings, he was wearing a robe and a hood. It’s clear. He’s intentionally covering his face. Are he a criminal?’
At that time, Rodin was flying towards Larry and Bianca at top speed.
Of course, the robe wasn’t something he had taken the time to put on separately. When he called Zito in, he simply changed into his usual robe with a large hood.
“Is there any other information?”
“Ah! It looks like the Marquisate of Richmond is your home.”
“The Marquisate of Richmond? Isn’t that the Kingdom of Lennox? Are you chasing the giant beast from there?”
The first place where the giant demon appeared was the Kingdom of Lennox. On the other hand, this place was the Hedens region, the westernmost part of the Kingdom of Tebia. It was quite a distance beyond the border.
The distance was considerable, so it was easy to mistake Rodin for chasing a giant demon.
“No. It didn’t feel like that. It was more like I was moving towards a destination and then accidentally encountered a giant demon. Hmm, I guess I’ll have to hear the details myself.”
“Is that so? I’ll let you know at least.”
“You are to send someone to the Marquess of Richmond and instruct them to investigate the wizard named Rodin.”
The part of his face that had been covered up was bothering Francis Topjoo. He felt like there had to be a reason for it.
‘Could it be Slavon or Valis Nova?’
Slavon and Valis Nova were secret societies, known to the world only as the subject of conspiracy theories.
However, when you become the lord of one of the four great towers, information about them is bound to come in, knowingly or unknowingly.
Francis Topju also knew about Slavon and Valis Nova. They were definitely real organizations and had tremendous power.
Francis Topjoo suspected that Rodin was connected to their organization.
“Is there anything that you are suspicious of?”
“I don’t know yet. I’ll tell you when I know for sure.”
“Okay, I’ll send someone.”
The Kingdom of Lennox was heavily influenced by the Cedria Tower. It was polite for other towers to seek the Cedria Tower’s permission before operating.
However, the Landes Tower was an exception. If you were planning to exert strong influence there, you would be notified in advance, but you could freely investigate information there.

Matthew opened his eyes to the sound of birds chirping at dawn. He remembered the terrible events of the previous day, but he soon came to his senses as he breathed in the clear, cool air.
“Ah! My body… feels really good.”
As we go through our daily lives, we gradually become fatigued and small injuries to our muscles accumulate. This fatigue and injuries make our bodies feel heavy and sore.
But yesterday, after drinking the potion Rodin gave me and receiving healing magic, even my minor problems were resolved. My body was fine, and I felt so refreshed that I felt like I could fly.
“Mr. Matthew, you’re awake.”
“Ah! Knight Jenna. Good morning.”
“Yes. Good morning. Are you planning on preparing breakfast?”
“Of course. That’s my job.”
Matthew instinctively checked the cooking utensils. He also checked on Larry and Bianca, who were lying in the tent next to him.
“Don’t worry. I’m all better.”
“Ah! I see. But what about the boss?”
“It’s morning exercise.”
Jenna pointed to the back of the carriage. Behind the carriage, out of sight, Rodin was doing his morning exercises.
“But I don’t see Knight Charis?”
“I went away for a bit. I’ll be back in a few days.”
“I thought you got hurt yesterday.”
Matthew saw Charis’s arm dangling yesterday. Jenna had a lot of minor cuts on her body, too. Larry and Bianca, too.
Matthew had a sharp eye for detail despite his innocent face, so he was quick to learn anything.
“That was all better.”
“Thank goodness everything is back to where it was. Oh! I’ll go prepare breakfast.”
Matthew was busy preparing breakfast. Considering yesterday’s accident, the breakfast portion was larger than usual.
As if drawn by the smell, Larry and Bianca opened their eyes. Bianca, who was rubbing her eyes as she came out, looked at Matthew.
“Uncle Matthew.”
“did you sleep well?”
“Yes. Hehe.”
The meal was enjoyable. I could tell he was trying to be a bit more cheerful because of yesterday’s events, but he was almost back to his normal self.
But when they got on the carriage to travel, they saw something different than usual. In particular, Bianca was different.
Larry was originally a man of few words. He was also a training fanatic who would only feel better if he trained for just one more minute.
Maybe that’s why he didn’t look much different today. He was doing push-ups on the carriage and closing his eyes to think about swordsmanship, just like before.
But Bianca was a child who would chatter away whenever she got in a carriage. She would constantly talk to Jenna, who was sitting on the coachman’s seat, and she would often exclaim in admiration at every sight she saw around her.
Did the shock I received yesterday change my state of mind? The noisy and light-hearted attitude I used to have completely disappeared.
As soon as she got into the carriage, Bianca started studying the runes. She didn’t understand anyone who spoke to her. She was so focused.
‘I don’t know if it’s good or not.’
The carriages were driven by Jenna and Matthew, one each. Rodin rode in Jenna’s carriage with Bianca, contemplating the artifact.
‘I think Larry’s artifacts can be referenced from the equipment that Charis and Jenna carry. Bianca is the problem.’
I didn’t want to buy an ordinary artifact and give it to her. I wanted to make a staff that would fit Bianca.
‘I’m still in the 1st circle… … so I don’t know the magical tendencies.’
3rd Circle, when you become a full-fledged wizard, your wizard’s tendencies will be revealed to some extent. A wizard who is strong against combat magic, a wizard who specializes in healing magic, a wizard who is good at support magic.
The instructors at the special forces training center were all skilled in combat magic. The treatment center had healing magicians, but they were not instructors.
‘I don’t really have any special tendencies, though.’
Judging from her appearance so far, Bianca was not the type of battle magician to be. She often seemed more comfortable with support magic than battle magic.
However, magical tendencies continue to change until you become a full-fledged wizard. Before becoming a 3rd circle wizard, it was impossible to predict what kind of wizard you would become.
“Your Majesty, this is where we fought yesterday.”
“okay?”
“But there are a lot of people gathered here.”
“Yeah. That’s a lot.”
There was a huge crowd of people. There were so many that it was difficult to find a place to park the carriage.
“Let’s pull the carriage over there.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
They parked their carriage a long way from where they had killed the giant demon. As Jenna parked her carriage, Matthew pulled up next to her.
“Boss. People……”
“It looks like they came to see the giant demon.”
“ah!”
Rodin stepped out of the carriage. Larry and Bianca followed him, looking around.
“Brother. What about the devil?”
“Over there… but it’s all gone so there won’t be much to see.”
It was blackened, but not so much that it was unrecognizable. It might not have been meaningful to Rodin, who fought it directly, but it would have been a good experience for Larry and Bianca.
“Your brother killed you?”
“I got a lot of help from Charis and Jenna. Want to see?”
“Is that okay?”
“What’s wrong? Let’s go.”
Rodin led Larry and Bianca. Jenna naturally went in as an escort beside Rodin.
Matthew hesitated for a moment, then followed him. It seemed that Matthew was also curious about the giant demon.
It wasn’t easy to see the giant demon. There were so many people that it was impossible to approach it.
“Ugh. It’s so frustrating. Come together.”
“Here?”
“This way. Matthew, please gather here too.”
Rodin made everyone, including Jenna, stick together. He even made them hold hands just in case.
“Brother. It’s weird.”
“Wait a minute. Fly.”
Rodin lifted his entire party, including himself, into the sky. It was a type of grab that became possible after becoming a 7th Circle Wizard.
“Huh? Huh…….”
“Oh, brother!”
“brother!”
“I won’t fall.”
I prepared the magic hand in advance. Even if I fell or stumbled, it would not lead to any serious injury.
Rodin’s group leapt over the crowd of people watching the giant beast and stopped right above it.
People started to murmur as they watched Rodin and his party suddenly appear. The magician of the Landes Tower, who was guarding the corpse of the giant demon, also looked at Rodin and his party with a surprised face.
“Wow! Bro! It’s huge.”
“Oppa. It’s so big. You caught it?”
Larry and Bianca were speechless as they looked at the black, huge corpse of the demon.
I only heard that it was big, but I didn’t know it was this big. It was so big that I couldn’t see it at a glance without turning my head. It didn’t look like a demon’s beast, but like a huge castle.
“I told you. I received a lot of help from Charis and Jenna.”
“No. It’s as if the killing was done by Confucius alone.”
“Humility.”
The group looked at the corpse of the giant demon for a long time.
Like that for about 10 minutes.
Bianca, who had been watching for a while, gently tugged on Rodin’s sleeve.
“why?”
“Did you burn it with magic?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Will I be able to do this someday?”
“Work hard. Nothing is impossible.”
We had seen enough. It was time to go back. Larry and Matthew also looked uncomfortable floating in the air.
“Let’s go down now. I’m going to see Francis Tower. What do you guys want to do?”
“Let’s meet up, hyung.”
“Brother Rodin. Me too. I need to say thank you.”
“I’ll just follow, sir.”
Their minds were united. Rodin used his magical powers to land the group in a place where there were no people.
“Jenna. Please show me around.”
“yes.”
Jenna saw yesterday which side of the Landes Tower had set up camp. She led Rodin there.
