202 Survivor of Demon Tower (2)

"The Mage Tower?"

Mage Tower.

I feel strangely familiar even though I have never heard of it since I came to Earth.

It's like...

'Don't! If you don't show up at the Fantasy Tower once!'

I felt like I showed up for the same useless reason.

"I've explained a lot about the holiday season, which is also called the Tower of Truth."

"The Tower of Truth..." "

I scratched my chin with my finger.

It doesn't matter whether the name is the Magic Tower or the Tower of Truth.

"Which guild?"

"Large organisations across Europe. Specifically... They say it's an organization with a long history."

"A long history?"

I curled my head.

Only six years after the player appeared on Earth. After a long history, how long will it be?

'Wait.'

My eyes thinned.

Cheonmujin and Zegal-hyun came to mind.

'I must have been using the ball before the player showed up.'

Much of it was practical in the case of Cheonmujin, but it was also held by the Emperor of the Emperor without God.

'If so.'

The Tower of Truth means that it has existed since before the day of upheaval.

It was likely that they also possessed powers that could not be scientifically explained, just as Cheonmujin used the air.

'It's not impossible.'

Demon Church is also a group that has existed for thousands of years.

Magic, magic, no magic.

As players emerged, the power that spread in earnest existed before the turbulent day.

"So, where is he now?"

"With Gaia's permission, I locked him up in the Hall of Guards. Mr. Sihun is watching."

Nod.

I couldn't believe straight away that I was a Tower of Truth, Nabal, and not a Devil.

There will be no fools in exile in the Guardians who dare to declare themselves Demons.

I stood up in my place.

"Are you going straight?"

"Because there's no way to be as sure as talking about it in person."

"Huhu. I'll guide you."

"I've already gone to the Hall of Protection to get tired."

Rainfall smiles and creates a gate to the Hall of Protection.

'Thinking about it, it's very comfortable.'

I could get out anytime and anywhere, and through him I could get to Guardians Branch all over the world, so it was excellent for convenience.

As I entered beyond the gate, I saw a familiar white passage.

I moved according to Reese's instructions.

"Are you here, brother?"

Kim Si-hoon, who was guarding the entrance, greeted him.

I lightly nodded and went into the room.

I saw an old man tied to a magic restraint. Gray beard on sporadic head.

A typical old wizard who can appear in any movie looking for a ring.

I pulled the chair and sat in front of it.

"Nice to meet you."

"You…."

"It's called Against the Guardians. I just wanted to say a few words."

"Argh."

The old man twists his body as if he is uncomfortable with the magic restraint.

The rain opened his mouth with a good smile.

"If you're a little uncomfortable with restraints, please understand."

"... Ah, yes! Nothing, of course."

The old man bows in astonishment.

I opened my mouth in a cautious voice.

"My name is Cardmember. Wizard of the Tower of Truth."

"This is the first place I've heard of it."

"The existence of the Demon Tower is not well known to the general public."

A tone of pride somewhere.

Rain opened his mouth with thin eyes.

"You said you were exploited by the Devil Church... What specifically happened?"

"Literally. Those filthy demons have enslaved us...! Khhhh."

While I was talking, I bitten my lips to see if my emotions were agitated.

A desperate feeling was conveyed.

Rain snow shines.

'I don't think you're lying.'

I wouldn't even say that the victim's sincere young voice and tears were evidence of bullshit, but at least they didn't look like smoke.

"Whoo. Whoo."

Cardmembers were talking with excitement sinking.

"The Wizards of our Tower have studied magic for many years to explore the truth."

"I heard that you used magic before you showed up…."

"Yes, it is."

I nodded confidently.

"A trivial reward for pursuing the truth. A certain degree of miracle can be performed."

"I see."

"While researching like that, the Demon Church raided the Tower. They exploited magic by calling us slaves."

"When exactly was that?"

"So… about a year ago."

My eyes are wet as if I were thinking of a terrible nightmare.

The wrinkled cheeks burst into clear tears.

"A year ago. '

A year ago, the rain snow thinned.

"Didn't the Wizards of the Tower have magic to use in battle?"

"No, that's not it. We had powerful magic that had been going on for a very long time. But…."

The card has a low gaze.

"I couldn't beat the demons."

'Well, I guess so.'

Demons and Humans. The gap in power that exists between the two races was clear.

Of course, there were exceptions where devils like Kim Shi Hoon couldn't give out business cards and cut them down, but it was fundamentally true that demons had much more power than humans.

"I thought you were being exploited by magic... What exactly was the method?"

"They were forced to make the magical goods they needed. A black jewel the size of a fingernail... I was mobilized to make an upper peg."

"Ho."

Rain snow shines.

Seeds of stalk and crack.

I could see why the two things could have been mass-produced.

"I was also mobilized to enchant various equipment and armaments. It was like a slave working in a factory."

I clenched my fist as if angry.

"Dirty demons! Magic is not meant to be used as such a trivial tool!!"

"Calm down... How did you get out?"

"Demons raided the factory where we were taken. I don't know if it was me... I barely escaped from the chaos."

I think I got lucky during Lucifer's engagement with the Demon Church.

Cardigan bows his head deeply towards the rain.

"Please! There are still a lot of colleagues in Devil's Bridge! They are also being exploited at this moment under the influence of evil demons. Please... Please save them!"

"Absolutely."

I answered without clogging.

Rain smiled at the card price.

"The Tower of Wizards."

Magic Tower. A sorcerer organization that has been seeking the truth for many years.

'Well, I don't think they're going to sympathize.'

I almost felt sorry for them because of their miserable situation, but I didn't have to.

'If it was raided a year ago.'

That the Tower of Mages has remained peaceful for the past year.

'And the fact that no one knew the existence of the Demon Tower until now... well, that's what it means.'

They did not move even on turbulent days, when humanity was threatened by monsters and was closing its path to destruction.

It means that even though you had the power to fight monsters before the player showed up, you only watched by sucking your fingers.

No one kept it, no one saved it.

What matters to them is that they 'explore the truth.'

'I'm not obliged to save someone else because I have the strength.'

At least it is not a picture where so good and so good an acronym is unfairly exploited, as the card reader says.

Just as those who have been silent in the pain of others have done all I can now come and beg for help.

Those who did not have the will to reach out for salvation, longed for salvation, even at the dawn of time.

'Well, it doesn't matter.'

I don't care unless they're good and good.

What matters is the value they have.

Useful or not family issues.

'I also said I could enchant the equipment.'

As well as enhancing equipment, if you squeeze it a little more thoroughly, you may be able to craft a magic weapon or scroll that can be supplied.

'Not bad.'

It was time to feel sorry for the average level of players.

It was a decent income if you could take it to the next level by raising the specs of the equipment.

'Available.'

A smile was made at the mouth.

* * *

'Great!'

Cardmembers shouted cheer in the air.

I thought I grabbed a trunk of light in despair.

'It was rewarding coming here, too.'

A group of foolish beggars who devote everything to humanity, the Guardians.

I've heard rumors about their existence, but I never expected this to happen so easily.

'I didn't think these guys would actually exist.'

It's almost time for the laughter to flow.

It was incomprehensible for him not to have any interest in petty events that had nothing to do with the truth of the world, such as demonism and war, whether it was an attack by monsters through a private human system, for example a gate.

You pathetic bastards. '

I don't really understand what's important.

I didn't realize the true meaning of "turbulent day."

The world in which humanity lives now. The star of Earth. It was not reaching the core of the truth.

I didn't even have the will to reach it.

I don't want to understand why a gate appeared or if a player existed.

'They'll never understand why the Earth is special.'

Earth is different from other stars in value.

In this world….

"Do you know where your colleague is being held?"

"... Ah! No, of course!"

Cardmembers answered urgently.

I knew where my colleague was being held.

No, I knew exactly where the research data from the Tower of Truth was kept.

"Colleagues."

I laughed at the words that didn't suit the Wizard.

It didn't matter a bit to my colleagues.

It was not known whether they were enslaved or whether they all died.

'Research data from the tower.'

I needed it.

'Hekate's knowledge is still in the yard..'

One of the titans that existed in the myth of the magical god, Hekate.

Over the years, he was raided by demons as soon as there was hope of catching his head of knowledge.

'Phew. Thinking about what happened to them..'

I literally remembered the days when I was enslaved.

'Magic is not used for such petty things!'

Magic is a sacred discipline that should only be used when exploring the truth.

It should not be used for petty things such as enchantments or making magical items.

'But it's over now.'

The card holder's eyes glowed.

I'm familiar with the rumors of the Guardians.

An armed group so powerful that they fought head-on against the gigantic Demon Church branch in Tibet to win.

In fact, it was now the last barber of humanity.

'Finally... the day of liberation from the devil is coming!!'

Two fists were held in a flaming hand.
