Chapter 326

338. Carrot and Stick 1

The Golden Mage Tower is divided into Central Building, Southwest Building, Southeastern Building, Northwest Building, and Northeast Building. Divided into 5 zones.

The structure of the Mage Tower is subtly different for each Mage Tower, but it is legally stipulated that the Mage Tower Master Room must be built in the center, so you have to go to the central hall to meet the Golden Mage Tower as well.

“Wow, there’s something like an escalator here! They say it automatically moves you even if you are standing still!”

Because it was a mage tower overflowing with money, it was easy to see various magical engineering facilities throughout the building.

Elevators that can move up and down, purifiers that purify polluted air, vending machines that exchange coins for potions, and so on.

They are things that can only be seen as walking on Earth, but on the Azul continent, which seems to have escaped the Stone Age, to Earthlings, it is difficult to see them unless they are in a magical tower.

“This is not an escalator, it’s a moving walk, and you have to put horsepower in it to work.”

“Oh really! Isn’t this a public facility!”

“Kuh, this candy machine ate my money!”

“Because the power is off.”

“Although I’ve attached a string to the coin just in case.”

The problem is that Kang Seung-hyun and his party can’t even use it because ‘magic is self-sufficient’.

Originally, the Golden Mage Tower would attach guide wizards to recharge magical power when outside guests visit, but Kang Seung-hyun and his party were treated coldly because they had been out of sight of the powerful.

“{This is scary. What will Mr. Kang do...}”

“{It’s not a big deal, there are 5 submasters each.}” “{

That’s right.}”

“{Then I thought you could retire at least one person from this world. }”

“{They say scary things casually.}” “

{Oh, I’m not saying I’m killing myself.}”

“{That scares me even more!}”

There are a few lessons Kim Ho-jeong learned while adventuring with Kang Seung-hyun.

One of them is that if Kang Seung-hyun says things like ‘I won’t kill him’, it’s better to kill himself quickly.

“This way.”

“Nice to meet you. Kang Seung-Hyun, Kim Ho-Jung, and Alek Drright.”

Leaving the moving walkway in good condition, I walked down the hallway and stepped into the master room of the central building, where several wizards of the Mage Tower greeted Kang Seung-hyeon and his party.

Some of them seemed to be members of the Lofiarmus family, judging by their resemblance to the submasters I met yesterday.

“Something is wrong.”

“It looks like the Lophemus family will gather at the Golden Mage Tower and have a meal even on holidays~.”

Like the other rooms, the inside of the master room was a luxurious room decorated with golden pillars and gorgeous ornaments made of various jewels.

A man with his back turned stood in the middle of the dazzling magic circle in the center.

He is the Golden Mage Tower Master, Doradel Lofiarmus.

“Doradel. A guest has arrived.”

Hearing those words, Doradel slowly looked this way.

“clothes?”

I heard that he was about to be 120 years old, but when I saw Doradel, he looked young enough to believe that he was 50 years old.

“{Are you over 100 years old? You look very young?}” “{You

seem to have rejuvenated through extreme training.}” “{

Some research has shown that the more magic you have, the slower your body ages.}”

did.

“{If you want to sit in the Mage Tower Master position for 80 consecutive years, it would be impossible with a tolerable amount of magic power.}”

In fact, Azul’s top-ranked people maintain a youthful appearance compared to their age, and some apostles have their body age fixed by the power of God. there is.

‘This is a strange town where reviving lions is prohibited, but immortality is not.’

“Yes...”

As the wizard rolled up his arms, black magic powerful enough to be seen with the naked eye spread out.

Originally, he would have to use holy water or purify it with a divine skill, but Kang Seung-hyun reached out and grabbed the wizard’s arm without taking out anything.

That moment.

“uh?”

“Dark magic is disappearing!”

“Are you absorbing dark magic right now?”

The wizards who were watching from the side couldn’t help but be astonished.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

It was because the spreading black magic was suddenly being sucked into Kang Seung-hyun’s hand.

“I don’t have the ability to purify dark magic. But it is possible to pull them apart.”

[Absorption], one of Kang’s old skills.

It’s usually a skill used when absorbing potions without drinking them, but in fact it has one more effect.

[Absorbs negative energy from abnormal conditions such as poison, burns, magical contamination, and curses.

]

So, in theory, Kang Seung-hyeon was a miraculous healer who could cure all conditions.

‘...If you’re going to use something like this, it’s better to just make a cure.’

However, Kang Seung-hyeon did not use [Absorption] to treat abnormal conditions.

‘I’m not a healer who is merciful enough to heal others while sacrificing myself.’

Due to the nature of the skill, if you [absorb] the patient’s poison to cure it, the poison does not disappear but spreads to Kang Seung-hyun himself.

‘But “Magic Pollution” is an exception.’

If nothing else, since black magic means nothing to a person with 0 mana, Kang Seung-hyeon used [Absorption] only to treat mana pollution.

“This can’t be...”

“To use a skill even though you’re not a black magician or a priest and you’re in contact with dark magic!”

“I really can’t believe it...”

Master Doradel also touched his chin in admiration.

He had already passed the age of 100, and even he, who was slowly heading towards his 120-year life, had never seen or heard of such a sight.

Whoa.

“It’s done.”

And soon after, Kang Seung-hyeon smiled and took off the magician’s silver robe.

“Thank you! thank you!”

Even if the magician took off his robe, the dark magic did not spread out.

This is because the dark magic within her body has completely disappeared.

“Indeed, there must have been a reason that Miss Matiana praised her as the one and only healer. This is the first time in my life that someone removes the dark magic without borrowing the power of a god.”

“is it so? It’s still too early to be surprised by this.”

“What?”

Seunghyun Kang said with a smile.

Of course, this is great enough, but in the end, it’s not much different from what a priest healer does.

“Mr. Kim Ho-jeong.”

“huh?”

“Come out.”

Kang Seung-hyun smiled as he called Kim Ho-jung, who was behind him.

“Let me tell you why I am called the One and Only Healer.”
