The Weight of the Chief (Repeat)

Proceed with the verification at Topaz Hall. (Success)

Successfully organize a regular meeting. (Ongoing).

Events in the Magic Tower.

A regular meeting is about to start.

I dont know about other players.

For me, its an important event.

How is it already time?

Why, I remember the last one.

Even back then, I learned useful magic just by attending, including Marcelos advanced magic, [Anomaly].

Such a regular meeting of a magic tower.

For me, it was a big event where I could improve my magical level.

It was a big event!

New knowledge is always exciting.

Okay, for once, Im sympathetic to this rhetoric.

Above all, it was me who had a specific justification for attacking the crack.

That means we need to jump into the cracks more aggressively.

And at a fairly decent level.

If I dont have enough levels, I have to make up for it on the other side.

So you have to look forward to it.

In that case, its good news.

Of course, Im in a different position than I was at the first meeting.

As the quest says.

As Marcelos co-researcher.

I carried the weight of seniority.

You have to show the right attitude.

Mr. Grandfell, youre used to weight and position.

So as soon as the grueling physical training was over.

I went straight to my desk without a proper break.

I reached for the stack of spellbooks on my desk.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

Yes, these heavy spellbooks.

This is the weight I must carry.

You mean you need a better understanding.

Research presented at regular conferences.

All magic is tried and tested, old and new.

I have a weight on my shoulders, and I will not be able to observe things as I have in the past.

In other words, the High Pride has no intention of taking the efforts of the presenters lightly.

Sigh.

In the end, its me whos dying this time.

I cant remember the last time I was in a dorm room.

Magic Towers laboratory.

Frost.

Yusras office.

Magic Towers laboratory.

It wasnt just my mood, I was really only going back and forth to those three places.

If its going to be like this, I might as well move.

I swallowed my sigh.

Thats all for now.

Chirp.

I opened the magic book.

Despite my grumbling, I was frighteningly focused.

The book that required such intense concentration was none other than the book on secret herbs.

The preliminary tests in Topaz Hall.

The few studies I had passed.

One of them was a study on the cultivation of elixir herbs.

New.

You said it was new to the Magic Tower.

No wonder its new to me.

But who was Grandfell?

He wasnt the kind of man to bring a topic that was foreign even to him to a regular meeting.

I was responsible for getting the study passed.

After all, I was carrying the weight of a book.

Theres so much involved.

Healing, pharmacy, and manufacturing.

Theres so much to memorize.

If it werent for Grandfells talent, I would have beaten him a long time ago. Really.

But its all in the mind.

If it cant be avoided.

Yeah, lets enjoy it.

Lets dream of a happy future.

The cultivation of elixir herbs.

The research will become expensive elixirs and potions in the future.

Lets drink some kimchi soup.

Of course, his body was already enjoying it, unlike his mind, which was just now becoming discouraged.

Im looking forward to it.

Sigh.

No wonder the lab is filled with the sound of books being flipped through.

*

Beep

I flip through the channels.

-Together with the Gaon Guild, the value of player Lee Ho-yeol is hard to even dare to measure.

Beep.

-Theres a lot of talk about the message that appeared in the crack in the Quernberg machine tower, and its Lee Ho-yeol who may hold the key to solving it.

Beep

-His skill at maneuvering mechanical devices is on full display here. Ive searched all the players and classes, but I cant find anyone with that skill.

Somehow, no matter how many channels I flip through, I cant stop hearing about Lee Ho-yeol.

Ugh.

Mrs. Choi sighed in frustration.

She couldnt come up with an excuse.

Well, whenever I turn on the TV, I see his face.

To be honest, she seemed to see her sons face more often than the faces of her neighbors. I dont know if hes talking about himself or not.

A letter that came to life.

Not so long ago.

I would have thought this was a movie.

Now I could guess.

Wow, its from my Ho Yeol, right?

It was.

In fact, I could tell just by looking at it.

Rolled up in a circle.

The letter was sealed with a candle and exuded elegance.

Lee Yerim said softly.

Hes a tongue-in-cheek guy. Whats the big deal, right, Mom?

I know. Im sure hes in a hurry.

Ugh. No way!

Well done, my brother.

No matter how busy you are, you always remember your moms birthday.

Seeing Mrs. Choi Kang-hees brightened face, Lee Yerims mood instantly improved.

By the way.

Mom, he must be crazy!

I ripped open the candle and saw.

How many characters is this?

A long letter that must have taken hours to write.

Did you think Ho Yeol would say something like this?

Lines of text, each one filled with formality.

Of course, it wasnt just a letter.

Mrs. Choi had found something in the curled up letter.

There was no need to look too closely.

Its appearance was all too familiar.

Lee Yerim frowned.

Isnt that a tea bag? Is that green tea? What does it say?

A dense letter.

Mrs. Choi finally found the one he was referring to.

herbal tea? Its a tea made with herbs, Ho Yeol?

*

Like in the movie, you dont need an owl to send a letter.

All it took was a little mana.

I opened the window and the letter took flight.

No matter how busy you are.

You cant ignore formality.

Im sorry for not being able to attend.

My mom, Mrs. Choi Kang-huis birthday was the day after tomorrow.

I would have attended the family event if it werent for the regular meeting.

In that sense, I cant help but be grateful for the regular meetings.

Why, just writing it down is hundreds of lines.

Imagine trying to convey that in words.

Even in front of my sisters?

I can only imagine. Really.

Anyway, I didnt forget to enclose a tea made from herbs.

Youre both at an age where you need to take care of your health.

In that sense, the herbal tea should help.

You know, the kind of herbs that make up potions and elixirs?

It made sense that brewed tea would have similar effects.

It was worth it to look in the book.

Of course, it was because of his knowledge of elixirs.

Hed been poring over all sorts of magical texts in the run-up to the conference, and hed gotten a rough idea of how to use them.

But its still a long way off.

Of course, I had an idea.

Not enlightened.

For one thing, herbal knowledge isnt something you can magically see. Its something you have to memorize, word for word.

Moreover, elixir herbs were plants that grew on the continent of Arcana.

The vast Arcana Continent.

There were millions and millions of medicinal herbs growing there.

Gaining knowledge of such medicinal herbs like that.

Is that even possible?

I had my doubts.

Like I said, its all in the mind.

The possibilities are endless, he said.

Sigh.

Thats why Im disappointed,

Im the one whos disappointed with the level, and I have no choice but to sell the well.

A second look at my herbal books.

But my reading didnt last long.

Medicinal herbs are a class of plants that grow on the continent of Arcana.

!

Suddenly, I remembered the passage.

The Demon King, Decarabian.

Something about him.

Yes, Decarabian used birds as his minions.

He had knowledge of all minerals and plants.

All plants.

That would include the knowledge of medicinal herbs.

Yes, I have the spoils of such a Decarabian.

[The Pentagram of Impure Knowledge]

[Rank: Epic]

[Restrictions: None]

[Effect: Sealed]

[Description: A demonic curse has sealed its effects, and it must be purified to know its full power.]

Its a strange loot, from the name and rank to the!

Wait, you cant tell me this is impure knowledge?

But with great expectations comes great disappointment.

I know that.

Plus, Grandfells personality is notoriously unreliable.

So.

I just blurt out casually.

Every hypothesis needs to be tested.
