Chapter 54

54. A very capable

magic tower.

An institution created by wizards to study magic and increase their power.

It is one of the powerful influence groups along with the Central Capital Lessetia Knights Order Adventurer Guild.

It’s something grandiose to write like this, but in simple terms, it’s a magic teaching university.

‘It’s my first time coming to the Magic Tower.’

Of course, it’s not a place that magical healers with 0 magical power would come. There was no particular reason to come.

“I really thought I was going to die... My legs are getting tired...!”

“Is this the magic tower?”

The party members who were in a state of fascination stood up one by one. Priest Sahita, who had fainted, also opened his eyes.

‘It was a bit tough this time.’

Everyone seemed tired from the arduous adventure.

“We... have arrived safely...?”

“I have arrived safely.”

“It’s a relief... It’s a relief...”

Priest Sahita nodded and sighed. Then he put his hands together and began to pray.

“It’s an adventure I don’t want to go through again.”

“It feels like 20 years of life has flown by.”

With the exception of Priest Sahita and Tina, everyone was an adventurer who had already taken off their newbie ticket. This adventure was harsh enough to make even such people off the hook.

‘It must be a big shock.’

Kang Seung-hyeon didn’t feel anything because he had just met I-il. However, even for a short period of time, they regarded Ail as a colleague.

“A trusted colleague betrayed us...”

said Ergan with a bitter smile. He was the leader of the party, so he must have been closest to Il.

“Never mind. Because he approached me intent on deceiving me from the start.”

Kang Seung-hyun lightly comforted him and left.

“I’m tired...”

Tina also slumped to the floor. His complexion was bad due to the depletion of mana. It was only natural that he was tired because he used all his magic power to activate the magic circle.

“I lived thanks to Tina.”

“no. If it wasn’t for Healer Seunghyun Kang, I couldn’t have tried it!”

said Tina, blushing. He said that he was always an assistant magician, and that his main was Kang Seung-hyeon.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever had such a deep and unique magical power. It was the first time I ever tried to control such magical powers.”

A blue aura created by the [Spray] effect. As expected, it seems to be peculiar to wizards.

“I don’t know because I don’t have the relevant knowledge...Thank you for the compliment.”

Kang Seung-hyun took out a magic potion from his inventory. He’s the guy who left one for emergencies.

“It was a lot of work. I have one left, eat it.”

When Kang Seung-hyun threw the magic potion, he said,

“Will Healer Kang Seung-hyun not take it? You used more mana than I did...”

Tina exclaimed in surprise.

“I don’t need it.”

I don’t even have magic, so why drink? On the contrary, I felt sick to my stomach because I absorbed too much potion.

“Look at that! You don’t even have signs of depletion of magical energy!”

Tina shouted as she was about to drink the potion.

“How many magical powers do you have... Are you a Archmage...?”

“Healer, Healer. A guy who fixes others and makes money.”

I blocked it right away because I thought it would lead to another misunderstanding if I left it alone.

“I want to go wash up and sleep... Is there an inn in the Magic Tower?”

“no. There are dormitories where students stay.”

“Then do I have to go out of the tower and go down to the village...? Annoy me.”

“Well, first of all... I want to contact the Church of Aiber...”

The chattering adventurers nodded at Priest Sahita’s words.

“Let the bodies of the victims... be taken over by the church...”

It’s good to rest your tired body, but before that, you must finish the work.

“Then let’s finish with that one.”

“Shuire-san, is there any way to contact the Adventurer’s Guild or Church?”

Except for Shuire and Tina, everyone was far from the Magic Tower. It is quicker to ask the person concerned about this.

“To contact the church, you have to go down the tower and go to the Adventurers Guild building in town.”

Shuire shook her head and said.

“As you all know, the Mage Tower and the Church have a bad relationship.”

The Church, whose top priority is to follow God’s will, and the Mage Tower, whose top priority is to study mana and magic.

Since our priorities are different, we cannot get along well.

“Well, the Adventurers Guild is neutral.”

The Adventurer’s Guild benefits from remaining neutral because it interacts with both groups.

“Then, go to the village first...”

Yes. What about it?”

Tansel took out his staff again and hit Shuire.

“Why are you handing over the magic circle you drew! Did I teach you that!”

“Ah yay yay!!!”

He was a tougher professor than I thought.

“I couldn’t help it! Because mana is not coming out because mental power has been reduced...”

“How many times have I told you that the most important thing for a wizard is magic and mental power?!”

Shuire made excuses at best, but that made him more right. But he said he did not give up.

“I almost died from a very strong black magician!”

“A black magician?”

“yes! Healer Kang Seung-Hyun took it out and even activated the magic circle, so I barely came back alive!”

Shuire looked at Kang Seung-hyun with eyes seeking help.

“It is late to say hello. My name is Healer Kang Seung-hyun.”

“healer? Aren’t you a wizard?”

Professor Tansel looked at him with the face of ‘What kind of healer activates the magic circle?’

“Somehow it happened.”

“Yeah, I said it was a tight situation.”

“As Shuire-san said, we encountered a powerful black magician in a dungeon.”

Kang Seung-hyun briefly talked about I’ll.

“Looking at them, they’re rolled up in a magic curtain...”

“They’re the corpses of adventurers who were killed by black magicians and turned into zombies.”

Professor Tansel approached the corpse wrapped in a magic screen.

“...I’m not lying. They are all corpses.”

“All those many things are corpses...?”

“Wow...wow...”

the wizards murmured in fright. One of them got a bad complexion and ran outside.

After all, wizards are too weak mentally.

“Seeing that he killed so many adventurers... he must have been no ordinary black magician.”

“He was an apostle who received the power of God.”

“Hmm.”

Professor Tansel said, twiddling his chin.

“You did a great job. It won’t be a normal bet.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

When Kang Seung-hyeon replied,

“It’s a matter of course... It’s definitely not the right thing to pretend you don’t know about these things.”

Professor Tansel sighed and stood up.

“For damage caused by black magic and apostles, the priority is to contact the members of the church.”

The Mage Tower and the Church are on bad terms, but they tend to cooperate when necessary.

Professor Tansel asked Priest Sahita.

“Are you a priest of the Aiber Church?”

“Ah yes...”

“Follow me. I will prepare communication magic so that I can contact the church.”

“Oh, thank you...!”

With the help of Professor Tansel, I was able to contact the Ayber Church. Priest Sahita thanked me with a bright face.

“You poor disciple. Follow me too.”

“Why me?”

“Are you planning to send an outsider alone to a strange place! You must guide!”

“ouch!”

“Go first!”

“Professor is still relentless... I’ll guide Sahita. Follow me.”

“Yeah...”

Shuire, who was hit with a cane once more, muttered and went outside with Priest Sahita.

“Did you say Kang Seung-hyun?”

“That’s right.”

Professor Tansel, who saw the two of them leaving, approached Kang Seung-hyun.

“You did a lot of work. Let us take care of the rest.”

“thank you.”

“Everyone, move the corpses gathered here.”

“yes!”

The professor ordered his students to carry the body in the center of the coordinate room.

“I don’t know because it’s just after escaping from the dungeon, but it’s midnight now.”

“I’m kind of tired...”

“I’ll lend you a guest room, so I’ll stay there tonight.”
