Episode 150 47. Imperial Tower (2)

3.

Imperial Tower.

The center of magic and the core of modern civilization.

It is also the place with the most patents among the magic towers on the continent, and is the place where many things were invented, including the train.

As such, the Imperial Tower was the second most splendid place in the capital city after the Imperial Palace.

Rumor has it that the amount of money that the Tower spends in a year is equivalent to the Empire’s annual budget.

Caron nodded slowly as he recalled the rumor.

‘It can’t be helped.’

The empire’s civilization began to develop rapidly after the overthrow of the evil emperor.

In that development history, the Imperial Tower could be called the greatest contributor.

At the same time, this was a place that all wizards desired.

Just entering the rooftop was enough to change your life.

There was no doubt that Matap was an amazing place, having been selected as the ‘#1 workplace for children preferred by commoners’ for 30 consecutive years.

“Wow.”

Amy looked around the tower’s magnificent reception room with a small exclamation of admiration.

This is the Magic Tower, a place that even the Imperial Guard cannot easily enter.

The Imperial Tower is an institution that is guaranteed wide autonomy from the imperial family.

It was not called another fiefdom within the capital for nothing.

“Amy. Is this your first time here? Why are you acting so country?”

“It’s amazing. Oh, how many times have you been here, Caron?”

“Of course it’s my first time too.”

Caron smiled as he took a sip of the black tea placed in front of him.

Black tea with added brandy.

“Hey, pitcher. Pour some more brandy.”

【The brandy ratio is already 70%.】

“So drink more. The tea tastes better.”

【This is an incomprehensible command. This cannot be called black tea.】

“That’s right.”

At Caron’s direction, the kettle poured brandy without a word.

“This is it.”

Caron took a sip of the black tea brandy and nodded with a satisfied smile.

As they were waiting, looking around the reception room, the door to the reception room opened and a man came in.

A tailored suit that clings perfectly to the body.

There, a typical civil servant-style man wearing blue horn-rimmed glasses bowed toward Caron and greeted him.

“It is an honor to have you as my guest. My name is Varian, and I am in charge of the sales department at Matap.”

On the outside, he looks like an ordinary office worker.

However, as expected from a member of the Magic Tower, a considerable amount of magical power was felt from the man.

Caron stood up and offered to shake his hand.

“This is Caron Reston.”

Varian took Charon’s hand with a blunt expression.

“On behalf of the Lord of the Tower, we sincerely welcome your visit, Karon.”

“Judging from your expression, it doesn’t seem like you’re welcoming?”

A faint sense of wariness was felt from Varian.

In fact, it was a natural attitude.

Because it couldn’t be said that the Duke of Reston and the Tower were on good terms.

“Please sit down.”

Charon offered Varian a chair as if he owned the place.

At that sight, Varian nodded and sat down.

Varian sat down and got straight to the point.

“You said the purpose of your visit was to purchase items. Is there anything you would like to purchase?”

“Here you go.”

As if he had been waiting, Charon handed Varian a list full of things written on it.

Varian quickly looked over the list Charon had presented.

“A magic furnace, a makeshift bed, a travel tent, a water cooler… … It seems like you want travel artifacts.”

Artifacts that can improve your quality of life.

These were artifacts that people who were preparing for a trip usually purchased.

But it was too much for one individual to carry around.

“Would it be okay if I send you to Cheonghaeseong?”

“Oh, I’m going to use it by myself. I’ll take it myself.”

“Have you brought a carriage?”

“This is enough for me.”

Charon shook his subspace pocket with a smile.

Then Varian answered with a somewhat surprised expression.

“It’s a subspace pocket.”

Subspace pockets were not commonly available artifacts.

An object that can be said to be the pinnacle of artifacts.

Of course, it was something that was bound to be surprising.

Caron took a sip of his tea-flavored brandy while looking at Varian’s expression. Then he continued speaking with a smile.

“Aren’t you curious about what’s in my pocket?”

It was a meaningful question.

Varian looked at Charon, frowning slightly.

What on earth is the intention of the question?

“I’m not so poor that I’m curious about other people’s pockets.”

“Ah! Actually, I have something I want to show you. Just a moment.”

Caron put his hands in his pockets and closed his eyes for a moment.

How much time has passed like that?

Charon, who had finally found the ‘thing’, smiled and spoke to Varian.

“Have you heard that there was an attempted terrorist attack at the Academy?”

“of course.”

“As expected from the Magic Tower, rumors spread quickly. Oh, by the way, did you hear who the culprit was?”

At those words, Varian’s expression darkened suddenly.

It would have been possible to purchase the item through an agent.

Nevertheless, he noticed why Caron had come all the way here.

“… … .You came to interrogate me. But your method was completely wrong.”

“Why? What’s the problem?”

A sinister smile appeared on Caron’s lips along with the sudden informality.

His tone was full of hostility.

Varian gulped as he felt an ominous magic coming from Charon.

At the top of the tower, it was already known that Caron was not the ‘heroic and righteous young man’ that was rumored.

When they conducted their own investigation into what Charon had been up to, they were able to come to one conclusion.

‘bomb.’

This man is out of control.

Information received from the Empress.

All of these things were telling us how dangerous Caron Reston, Iza, was.

So Varian carefully reached into his pocket and grabbed the warning artifact.

If you activate the artifact, all the combat golems in the tower will gather here.

“Even the Imperial Family cannot arbitrarily investigate the Magic Tower. Please request cooperation in the investigation through due process.”

At first, I politely declined.

Even the most crazy person wouldn’t cause trouble on the rooftop.

But Charon just snickered at Varian’s words, and then quickly took the ‘thing’ out of his pocket.

dump.

The ‘thing’ that fell out of my pocket rolled around awkwardly on the floor.

“I know very well that the Matop side is trying very hard to control information. They are trying very hard to buy the media. But what would happen if I went there with this evidence and boldly revealed it?”

Caron’s ‘thing’ was none other than a man.

A man who can’t even breathe properly.

Varian immediately recognized the man’s true identity as Veil, a professor from the Academy who had come from the Magic Tower.

The suspect that the rooftop has been searching for so desperately.

“… … Are you threatening us now?”

“Ha, I can’t understand what this old man is saying.”

Caron drank every last drop of the black tea left in his cup. Then he spoke with shining eyes.

“Tell the boss to come out.”

“You’re crazy. The Lord of the Tower is not someone you can meet if you want to. He is not someone who deserves to be treated as equal to the Grand Duke… .”

“The Devil’s followers live in the Tower of Eden… … Isn’t that a sensational headline? The reporters would love it. Don’t you think so, Amy?”

“… … We, the Imperial Guard, would like to make it clear in advance that we do not agree with your opinion, Lord Caron.”

“Your worldly skills have improved over the past four years. What a shame.”

Amy looked at Caron and let out a complicated breath.

‘Chief. Sir Luke. I’m sorry.’

There was no way for her to stop this mad dog.

All I could do was watch this mad dog wreak havoc on the rooftop.

4.

How long has it been since Varian left?

Knock knock.

Someone knocked on the door to the reception room, and soon a boy walked into the room.

A young boy who looks to be about eight years old at most.

Caron spoke to the boy in a calm voice.

“I called the magic wand, but why did a lump of blood walk in?”

At those words, Amy whispered to Caron in an urgent voice.

“… … That lump of blood is the Lord of the Tower.”

Imperial Tower Lord Cor Sentetia.

A great wizard who has reached the end of the 8th circle and a great sage who is respected even by the nobles.

It was already a well-known story in the Empire that Cor Sentetia usually took the form of a young boy.

Amy quickly told Caron in case he was unaware of the rumor, but Caron’s response was lukewarm.

“I know.”

“yes?”

“I know that bastard is the owner of the magic tower.”

“… … Are you crazy?”

“No, he wants to look younger so he walks like that, so we have to accommodate him. This is social life, Amy. Watch and learn.”

At those words, Matapju, who had come closer to Caron, burst into loud laughter.

“Are you really as funny as they say? You’re the first crazy person to call me a bloody lump from the moment we met, Caron Reston.”

“You are too kind, Lord Matap.”

“I like crazy guys. I like them.”

Matapju sat down on the chair opposite Caron with a smile and waved his hand lightly.

Wooooow-!

Then a tray full of high-quality whiskey was summoned in front of Charon.

“You like alcohol? Drink as much as you want.”

“Wow. Aren’t these limited edition collections that are hard to find even in the palace? That top really does have a lot of money.”

“The young hero came to personally threaten me, so I should treat him properly. Usually, the one making threats is the one in control.”

Matapju glanced down at Professor Veil, who was lying down next to Caron.

Feeling his gaze, Caron smiled and said.

“Are you trying to destroy evidence?”

“There’s no need to kill him. Well, if things go badly, I might kill him.”

“It must be a simple task for the Lord of the Tower.”

The opponent is a great wizard of the 8th circle.

It is a being that has lived for a very long time, and is facing the 9th circle.

It was also a being so strong that it could not even be compared to those bastards like Noor.

Besides, this is the Imperial Tower.

Perhaps, if he wanted to, he could even make the Veil disappear without a trace.

“Caron Reston, if you’re going to kill me too, then I don’t care. It’s just plain ugly to kill that idiot. And there’s no need to fight with the Reston Dukes.”

Matapju smiled and summoned a glass. He placed it in front of Caron and poured some whiskey for him.

An amber liquid filled the glass.

“You became friends with the elves?”

“Who said that?”

“My old friend.”

“Wow, I didn’t know that the master of the Imperial Tower would be friendly with pirates from the South Sea. If I’m not careful, I could be arrested for leaking confidential information, Master of the Tower.”

Caron looked at Matapju’s face with a smile.

A pretty boy’s face.

But behind that face lies an old monster, well over 80 years old.

If you are a great wizard who has reached the end of the 8th circle, you would have heard of him at least once in your past life, but it has only been 30 years since this man ascended to the position of Magic Tower Lord.

In other words, this person does not exist in Caron’s memory.

-It’s Yongin.

‘Yongin?’

-There are many cases where dragons have children with humans during their play. That’s the only case. They can’t use dragon language, but they usually inherit magical talents.

Thanks to the guillotine, I learned the secret of my useless birth.

Caron nodded slowly and then spoke to Matapju.

“I really like old people. What should I say… … . Whenever I see old people, I feel a sense of respect for them.”

“He was a young man that is hard to find these days. Oh, so that’s why you pointed your sword at the Empress first?”

“If you’re jealous, should I show you my tricks to the Lord of the Tower?”

“This kid is a kid who only lives for today, just like he heard. It’s fun, kid. It’s fun to watch young people’s antics, but I actually have a bit of a bad personality, right? So let me get to the point.”

“I’d like to save the magic tower for you.”

“… … From whom?”

Caron drank the whiskey that Matapju had filled his glass with in one gulp. Then he said with a smile.

“From me.”

The mad dog decided to become a day robber.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
