Chapter 353

Episode 353. Downgrading for a welcome. (1)

Back to reality.

Taemin Nam turns on his smartphone and checks the date.

Leonie, who was looking at the screen together on tiptoe, is startled.

“...Hasn’t it really only been one day?”

What are the impressions of those who stepped on the Arcana continent for the first time?

Enough to be surprised by the time difference.

It was an indescribable experience.

Among them, the most shocking thing must have been the endlessly emerging buffs. The masters of the three guilds of the great alliance and Skal have been manually recording the details of the buffs.

“You have to plan thoroughly for the future.”

Of course, buffs weren’t just for players.

Even if you can’t see it with your eyes.

Because he was an Arcana who could feel the effect of the buff with his body.

Bangrit Tom, senior mage of pure magic, opened his mouth.

“Everyone can’t imagine it. What is happening on the Arcana continent? It’s really appropriate to say that hope is sprouting, but I think we’re the only ones who saw that...!”

It was a series of surprising events, to the point where they were told not to lie to the relatively naive apprentice wizards.

However, there was no answer coming back to the fuss.

Bangrit cheekily scratched the back of his head.

“...haha. Did I say a lot of unnecessary words?”

Kiko Armin, senior in enchantment.

Only Kiko tried to turn her head to Bangrit’s reaction.

“Ugh.”

Dark circles all the way down to the chin.

Kiko asked in a dying voice.

“...sorry. Senior Bangrit, what did you say?”

“Oh no. I didn’t say anything.”

“...Please? ugh.”

Legendary blacksmith Wallsweil’s amazing work speed.

“In the end, I came back standing on my own two feet like this!”

Thanks to that, Harkon is as he wishes.

Contains the essence of Dwarven technology and magical refinement of the Mage Tower.

I was equipped with a prosthetic leg that transcends human limitations.

“I feel like I’m really going to die...”

Actually, Kiko stayed up all day and night for three days. It was natural that he didn’t have the energy to match Bangrit’s fuss. The situation of Velier Yusia, a senior in healing magic, was no different.

“Healing magic alone is not enough. Something a little more...”

No, he was more distracted than Kiko.

Unlike Kiko, who finished her work anyway.

Because Bellier was still researching a way to heal the dragons that swallowed the evil fruit, and had collected a lot of necessary research data from the Arcana continent.

So naturally, Bangrit’s gaze moved.

‘Then senior Matisse...?’

I didn’t expect it, but I was still shocked.

Senior Matisse’s expression was serious.

Bangrit searched for memory.

‘Still, he seemed fine until he entered.’

The portal that Chief Lee manifested.

From the moment I woke up on the Dwarf’s Iron Castle, to be exact, on the Arcana continent through the portal. Matisse’s expression suddenly began to darken.

‘As if he saw something he shouldn’t have seen...?’

...Shaking my head.

Of course, Bangrit did not think deeply.

Senior Matisse must have his own worries.

Why do you think you have a new problem for yourself?

The magic power concentration of the Arcana Continent has become stronger.

Even in the mage tower, Bangrit had excellent magic affinity. Thanks to this, he was obliged to capture the change in magical power concentration that came to the Arcana continent, prepare a countermeasure for it, and present it at a regular conference.

‘If I manifest magic as usual on such a continent.’

It can bring huge results beyond your imagination.

“My head hurts just imagining it.”

In fact, Bangrit was more worried about Bensh William, a senior in flame magic, than any apprentice skilled wizard. As he imagined Banshee manifesting fire magic with his thick mana, his hand went to his temple.

“...I have to say it really.”

Of course everything.

It’s a story when Senior Benshi stepped on the Arcana continent.

Bangrit smiled and walked to his office.

alone at last

Matisse, who suddenly stopped walking, opened his mouth.

The words that came out were even more meaningful.

“...wasn’t it impossible to escape fate?”

The reason Matisse kept silent all along was simple.

The moment you step on the Arcana Continent.

because it was seen.

The immense and incomparably suitable magical power that spreads over the Arcana continent.

“...”

Matisse looks at the ring on his finger.

A magic tool that is still stained black. Yes, that vast and appropriate magical power was undoubtedly the appropriate magical power derived from Chief Lee Ho-yeol’s past and background.

So Matisse could be sure.

Blackening.

After all, this chief.

without your knowledge.

Without hesitation, I checked the documents. When I touched the candle wax with my lightly enchanted fingers, the seal melted and the document opened. Soon, my mouth opens.

“is it. Is this a new procedure?”

my stomach turned

‘...Really this cat!’

It was the rule of the Mage Tower that was amended by the will of the tower owner.

An amendment to elect a new tower owner by voting.

I was sure. Anyway, if this is a procedure, even if it’s a bad habit, I have to keep it for now. It was clear that it was a modification using my temperament...!

──────

1. The gentle giant

2. The greatest discoverer in the history of the Mage Tower

3. Dark dragon

──────

Cubic crystals understand the situation.

“The candidate is Yugwid Marcelo and this body.”

Someone will ask about this.

Isn’t it too much self-consciousness? Aren’t you worried about what happens after you’ve already been selected as the next tower owner after beating out the two prominent candidates? Yes, if that was the case, I would readily admit that I was overly self-conscious.

However, no matter how you look at this additional amendment that followed...

──────

The right to vote is given to those who have proven their qualifications to the Mage Tower without discrimination. Even if it was an adventurer who did not qualify as a wizard, there was no exception.

──────

You decided to make me the next tower owner?!

Of course, there must be another superficial reason.

Topju What kind of cat is that cat?

“It’s a discipline worthy of an open mage tower.”

Realizing that being closed is poisonous, the Mage Tower had planned to open everything up. It was that there was a plausible justification that the next owner of the open Mage Tower should be elected in a new way.

‘Though it’s not possible to just vote inside the Mage Tower.’

No matter how much relationship and influence I have built up in the Mage Tower.

You will not be able to follow the achievements that Yugwid and Marcelo have accumulated.

However, the story is different if the player is given the right to vote.

‘Of course they’re not going to pick me up!’

Marcelo and Yugweed.

Because the two of them had little contact with the majority of players.

At this point, it was an indispensable quest for oddities, namely Internet surfing.

Indeed, my prediction was correct.

‘Damn it.’

The community was already hot with campaign enthusiasm for me.

– Let’s go to the top player who was the first player!!

– ᄋᄏ Let’s go to increase your status

– Even if you don’t know what it is, I think it’ll be fun, so I’m taking Lee Ho-yeol ᄏ ᄏ

From receiving the qualification quest at the magic tower.

Even an easy-to-clear strategy.

They were just doing everything they could to get me elected as the top lord!

I am Lee Ho-yeol.

A cold sweat flows from the inside.

Wouldn’t it be like taking over the position of the real top owner?

Because the thought of doing it was sneaking up on me.

At the same time, the tower owner got goosebumps.

‘To hit the back of the head like this?’

Even the trusted Marcelo.

‘I didn’t want to even blame Marcelo.’

The fact that this happened while I was away was all I could say was that Marcelo also joined in the trick of the tower owner. But most disappointing of all.

“It is indeed a reasonable procedure.”

It was a tired personality that couldn’t die in the process of that guy.

Only then will I die of overwork before drowning in pride. It was the moment when I picked up a teacup filled with green tea to quench my burning thirst and to plead for a way.

Susseu—

suddenly, the words on the parchment came to mind.

It was the handwriting of the elder mage Yugweed.

But why is the content so unusual...?

──────

To Chief Lee Ho-yeol.

──────

Even though it was just one line, the meaning was immediately discernible.

──────

There is an up and down in this top cold water.

──────

...yes?

*

Same time.

[Quest: Election for the next tower owner]

The eyes of the players who are carrying out the quest flicker.

Updated with new quest objectives.

However, the quest goal was unusual.

“...what is this? Did it happen to you too?”

“It floated!”

“No way... was there some kind of friction in the process of selecting the tower owner?!”

─Witness the proof sparring between the gentle giant and the dark dragon (in progress)
