Chapter 103

Episode 103. Inside the luxurious carriage of Ganghwa

, black tea as if the sunset had melted it, giving off a sweet scent. Hegel, who was savoring the scent while holding a cup of black tea, saw a telecommunications tool that began to flicker.

‘Luna Pendragon.’

After confirming who the caller was, Hegel slowly put down his glass and answered the call.

“It’s been a while, Luna.”

-ok! Long time no see!

A lively voice sounded like a screw missing from the receiver.

Hegel continued talking while putting some distance between the earpiece and the ear for a moment.

“Did you find out what I asked for and contact you?”

-huh! I came to the place you said, but there are traces.

“so. Who killed Kyler?”

—Adrias Cromwell!

Adrias Cromwell?

Hegel stopped talking for a moment at the appearance of a completely unexpected person.

However, Luna continued to speak without knowing Hegel’s complicated feelings.

-Are you surprised? I was surprised! I was surprised too! haha!

Luna burst into laughter and was delighted with what was so enjoyable.

―Heigel has never seen Adrias, has he? Have I ever seen Are you envious? Envy!

“Adrias Cromwell... ... can you tell me a story what kind of person he was.”

In response to Hegel’s question, a quiet voice, as if thinking for a moment, was heard, followed by Luna’s voice.

―An interesting friend?

“Yes, thank you.”

Hegel, who hadn’t expected any answers in the first place, was enough to find out who killed Kyler.

―But how did Adrias kill Kyler? Looking at it now, Kyler is pretty strong too, right?

Luna Pendragon’s ability is to see the soul.

It was a mysterious power that made Luna Pendragon what it is today as an innate characteristic.

It was also Luna who could see Kyler’s soul through that ability, so Hegel asked for it.

“Kyler is not weak. It’s hard to believe that we lost to just one academy student.”

He knew that Adrias was a necromancer who could handle the undead, but he did not think highly of his ability.

The two had not yet heard the news that Adrias had conquered the 30th floor of Modras Tower, so it was impossible to gauge his level.

“Thank you for listening to my request. I promise to send it to you in the near future.”

-huh. But what will Adrias do?

“It’s not a big regret, but I have to warn you.”

-Can I play with you?

“you?”

I was surprised, but I thought it wasn’t too bad.

Luna’s combat power varied from time to time, but at its strongest, it was to the point of destroying an entire knights team, including the Aura Master.

-no?

“Does not matter. Could you please tell me what you did instead?”

-okay!

After that, contact was cut off.

He noticed the existence of an unexpected obstacle, but Hegel didn’t particularly care.

Sin was much more important to worry about such small puppies, and there would be no big problem as long as Luna said she would do it herself.

‘No. Will the problem get bigger?’

Luna Pendragon.

With a bounty similar to Salem Yedidia, nicknamed the devil, she was a woman that even Hegel could not predict.

I was trying to organize a small thing, but I thought that a bigger incident could happen, but I quickly erased it from my mind.

‘I don’t know.’

It is all up to Luna to get out of danger and get out of the danger by making a big deal out of it.

In the name of a meeting, you could join forces for a while or give a little help, but that was all.

‘Adrias Cromwell... ... .’

Hegel slowly moistened his mouth with the tea that had already cooled down.

[You have created ‘The Source of Magical Power’.]

Time flies by and vacation is approaching before you know it.

In the meantime, I have steadily developed my abilities and at the same time observed the playable characters.

‘Because they’re working hard even if I don’t look closely.’

Of course, by my standards, I wasn’t satisfied with it, but I was putting in some effort.

After making Lucia’s cure, I started researching an elixir for myself, and the result was just about to come out.

[Source of Magical Power]

[When taken, magically related talents are randomly acquired.]

In the case of Nickel, during the second lecture, a failure occurred and it stopped right away.

yeah let’s think

I won’t stop until I run out of gold anyway.

[22g of gold consumed.]

[Enhancement failed!]

[22g of gold consumed.]

[Enhancement succeeded!]

... ... .

As a result of trying to strengthen as much as possible without being conscious of success or failure, he finally succeeded in leveling the source of magical power to 10.

[Source of Magical Power +10]

[When taken, randomly acquires a magical-related talent.]

[+10 Bonus―The quality of the acquired talent is improved.]

“Ohhh?”

After reaching the top 10, when I looked at the source of magic, I was able to confirm that there was a phrase I hadn’t seen before. And when I checked the phrase, the danger of reinforcement began to emanate.

“Is this a bit of a gamble? Could it be poisoned?”

I don’t know if I’m wasting all my money and putting my family to shame.

I haven’t used half of the 1kg gold bar yet, but I felt dizzy when I thought that more than 2 million Will would be used for each enhancement, but on the contrary, as the number of strengthening increased, I felt a strange catharsis.

‘You have to earn money again. Let’s think of buying time as gold.’

He continued to reinforce himself under self-hypnosis.

Anyway, as a source of magic belonging to the axis of low reinforcement cost, I had to run for more than one time to find out where the end of reinforcement was.

Seeing the successes and failures and the ever-increasing cost of reinforcements, I mechanically used reinforcements.

[34g of gold is consumed.]

[Enhancement failure!]

I was on the threshold of level 20 before I knew it.

And before I knew it, I had exhausted two 1kg gold bars and was almost using up the third gold bar.

“Please, please stick with me just once.”

Before I knew it, I was on my knees, holding my hands together, praying earnestly to the source of magical power. I had become an enhancement addict without even realizing it.

[Would you like to strengthen the ‘source of magic’?]

“Please stick with me!”

[34g of gold is consumed.]

[Enhancement successful!]

Round 20.

After dozens of attempts, I was able to cross the 20-strong wall.

“ha ha ha! You did it! I did it! This is a human victory, you bastard!”

I hit the ceiling of the lab once and came down and screamed, unable to control my excitement. Then, as the emotions gradually subsided, I couldn’t help but worry about it seriously.

‘enforce. It’s a terrifying ability. I never thought it would make me so excited.’

Dried saliva was swallowed.

Is this because of the fear of strengthening, or is it because of the anticipation of the source of magical power that has reached the 20th?

I slowly opened the status window of the source of magical power.

[Source of Magical Power +20]

[When taken, randomly acquires magic-related talents.]

[+10 Bonus—Improves the quality of acquired talents.]

[+20 Bonus—Unusual magical powers are detected.]

[Cannot be enhanced]

“Is this the end?”

While doing that shit, I made you into the top 20.

Is this the end of the explanation?

I was about to crash in an instant.

“No, let’s calm down. I’m so excited right now, whoa.”

I took a deep breath and tried to calm my emotions.

It was rather good because I felt like I learned another weakness of mine this time.

Watching my blood money disappear was my weakness.

“The effect of the round of 20 will not be ordinary. Then then.”

I ate close to 300 million Will, but it can’t be normal.

Ganghwa confirmed that the round of 20 was over.

However, it cost close to 300 million won to ‘full-gang’ the source of magic, which had the lowest enhancement cost, so it might be difficult to earn anything else for the rest of my life with the money I had.

‘No. Because there are more ways to make money. Let’s not give up already.’

Once the intended purpose was achieved, it was finally time to take the source of magical power.

I was curious about the ability because I made something far greater than the original plan due to the enhancement characteristics.

“300 million will. I will eat well.”

I expressed my condolences to my money, who still had no regrets, and swallowed the source of magical power.
