Episode 116
“Owner?”
“huh?”
“Why is this place all made of gold?”
Damian turned his head at Mungchi’s words. As Mungchi said, the spire soared high into the sky, and its outer walls were all covered with gold.
Unless you scratch it, you can’t tell if it’s plated or if it’s made of real gold, but it goes without saying that it draws a lot of attention from the viewer anyway.
“evil!! crazy!!”
Flash!
Then, as a ray of intense sunlight fell over the sky of the Principality of Parma as the sea of clouds of the mountains passed, the streets of the Ivory Tower of Truth began to glow with dazzling golden light.
It was such a light that I wondered if it would blind the viewer.
“Lord master bastard!! I can’t see the bundle of eyes!!”
“Don’t try to cover your eyes, quickly cover your eyes!”
Food Duck!
Damian hurriedly shouted to Mungchi, while covering his eyes while watching the magic tower grinding his eye gang (= eye terror).
Truly, it was invincible.
Also called the < Magic Tower of Alchemy >, it is a treasure trove of gold that looks as if all the gold and silver treasures in the world are piled up.
If this place hadn’t been ruled by Hildebrinho de Garcia, it boasted such a splendid appearance that many passing dragons would have scrambled to claim it as their own.
It was not so different from the memory of the previous life.
According to my memory at the time, this magic tower of alchemy was only a golden tower of money demons who were crazy about alchemy and conversion.
Continentalists and adventurers alike went in, and everything they had in their pockets was robbed.
So, despite this dazzling golden light that filled the streets of the Ivory Tower of Truth, Damian felt a sneaky sense of visceral displeasure instead of an appreciation that something was cool.
It was because he knew very well that this golden tower was built with the blood and sweat of the customers who used the magic tower rather than the product of alchemy alone.
[Reminder: Would you like to enter the < Magic Tower of Alchemy >?]
“Yes.”
What a profit!
Eventually, in front of Damian’s eyes, the gates of the golden tower began to open on both sides.

“Welcome, adventurer of the other world, seeking the truth. My name is Arwin.”
“Ah yes. hello.”
When Damian entered the magic tower, a young man greeted him. He was an apprentice alchemist working at the Magic Tower of Alchemy—read it and call it a salesman.
As expected of those who work in the Golden Tower, golden-plated glasses and golden-embroidered uniforms made of luxurious materials.
At first glance, Arwyn’s outfit was so extravagant that it could be said to be that of a priest of the six denominations.
From Arwin’s outfit, Damian could easily guess how much money the Mage Tower of Alchemy was making in the past and now.
‘How much is that all?’
Glitter!
Seeing that even Arwin, who was only an apprentice Alchemist, was wearing accessories that must have been made of gold.
The golden power coming out of this mage tower must have far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
“Why did you find the magic tower you saw?”
“I’d like to see Lunos-nim.”
“If it’s Runos-sama...?”
“He is called the Golden Hand.”
“Ah...”
Scratching!
Seruk!
And the moment when Arwin spit out all sorts of swear words inside, while looking at his pockets while passing Damian’s nonchalant eyes over with a forced smile.
“Heeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?!”
Fire!
Soon, a soft light emanated from Damian’s pocket, and Arwin’s eyes widened as if they were going to pop out at any moment, and he let out a scream.
It was also true that the pocket that Damian had handed over was not filled with gold coins, but with multi-colored jewels of inestimable value.
“One big one.”
“If it’s a single big one.... a million gold?!”
“It’s good that the story is fast. No, are you counting fast?”
Swoop!
As Arwyn shrank, alerting him like a rabbit, Damian lowered his upper body.
Contrary to the overbearing atmosphere, it was a calm face.
Would it be an illusion if the viewer couldn’t tell what he was thinking, and if he felt that his smile with the narrow eyes drawn in a long line resembled Arwin’s?
“Because there is no time. Please guide Lunos. Right Now.”
“...!”
And the moment Damian’s whisper reached his ear, Arwin’s face turned white at once and began to harden.
It was as if he had heard the whispers of the devil.
* * *
“Owner bastard.”
“ok?”
“Can the owner make everything you need here?”
“ok. Maybe the most important?”
Whoa!
Damian nodded while entrusting himself to the floating stone heading to the upper level of the mage tower. The balustrade marble, approximately 1 square meter in size, climbed leisurely in the air with an antique carpet on it.
No matter how vicious the rumors are, the dozens of floating stones that still pass by around him are of such outstanding quality that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the essence of modern magical engineering.
In addition, considering that there are a total of 100 floating stones operated by the Magic Tower of Alchemy, it was enough to understand why people continued to visit this Magic Tower.
It was high technology, for example.
It was said that even an ordinary person with no knowledge of magic could feel the technical sophistication of the fact that it was designed so that it could move inside the round tower of tens of meters without any collision or delay.
Even more so, if you knew that each floating stone was made by hammering the top-notch magic crystal into the bottom.
So, if you know that it is a far-out piece boasting an astronomical amount for each floating stone.
It could be said that it was enough to make those who visited the Magic Tower build trust and anticipation implicitly.
It was also the reason why Damian lobbied for this tower of gold, spending a large amount of money equivalent to 1 million gold.
– You have arrived at the master class on the 50th floor.
– Passengers, please be careful when getting off.
rattle!
Damian turned his head as a gentle voice echoed from the crystal ball on the corner. Unsurprisingly, the handrails of the floating stone opened on both sides and reached the 50th floor.
Dozens of colonnades supporting the arched ceiling and the Corridor of the Stars lined with gothic wrought-iron wooden gates between them.
Eventually, as Damian stood in front of one of the gates, the lion-headed doorknob glowed white and a circular magic circle floated in front of his eyes.
[Notice: Enter the Master Room, the Golden Hand Runos’ room.]
[Notice: Do you want to activate the magic circle?]
“Yes.”
Dig!
Eventually, Damian’s new model shone pure white and turned into a single point of light.
