I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 123
Wizards of the Magic Tower (1)
The evening passed and a night of entertainment came.
With bars in the back alleys accepting customers and gangs patrolling the streets and men looking for prostitutes, a suspicious man in a robe is not that noticeable.
“Welcome.”
If there is a gray line between legal and illegal, there is no place like a back alley bar.
Manroji, the warlock of the Magic Tower, knows the ecology of the back alleys quite well.
“Meal? Drink?”
Hospitality other than that of a master who is rude to everyone. Manroji took a quick look around and found a staircase leading down to the basement.
“I came to play a game.”
“Go down the stairs.”
There is no sign of hiding. In fact, gambling and women are introduced in a bar in a back alley, so it’s not surprising because it happens secretly.
As we go down to the basement, there are crowded crowds of people having fun. The main games seem to be playing cards and craps-type backgammon.
“Hehehe……”
Manroji smiled and sat down.
Manroji, the 4th floor wizard of the Magic Tower, is a typical gambling addict.
So much so that he seeks out gambling in the back alleys of every city he visits.
However, if there is something different about him from others…
‘That guy is two pair. Is the other side straight?’
In the dark basement of a gambling hall. A secretly hanging bat-shaped familiar. Sharing the perspective with the owner gave Manroji a lot of information.
“Hahaha…!”
“A-C lost again!”
“Holy shit!”
Continued success today. If he won too much, he would be doubted, so he lost in moderation and experienced the joy of victory.
“Can I join you too?”
It’s time for a water change. The new partner was a beautiful woman.
A beauty with short gray hair and an alluring outfit. Her charming and haughty charm stood out with her captivating eye smile.
“Hehe, it doesn’t matter.”
He was instantly captivated by the beauty and decided to rob her. He leaves the woman he likes broke and asks for her body. This is a tactic he often uses.
An hour later he was able to achieve his goal.
“Are you really… giving me my money back?”
“That’s right. Haha, so quickly take off that cumbersome piece of cloth.”
Second floor room for lodging and prostitution. Manroji entered the room holding the hand of the woman he had made penniless.
“Ah, I get it.”
A woman who became obedient after losing dozens of gold coins. Yes, even if I act arrogantly, in front of me, I am just a girl.
Thanks to this, there seems to be no day when my side feels cold during my stay in the city.
“More than that… shouldn’t we know each other’s names?”
“Hehe, what are you going to do? You just need to be hugged gently.
” “No, you should know.”
The mood changed in an instant. The beauty who had been trembling a moment ago suddenly cast a cold gaze.
“Lenya Claire. He owns this building.”
“What?”
“Did we look like thugs, wizards?”
“……!!”
-Puck!
Something hit Manroji on the back of the head and he fell face down on the floor, losing consciousness. “ Hehe
~ Anyway, wizards.”
“Good job. Rather, wear proper clothes.”
“Was it a bit provocative for a minor, boss?”
In his fading consciousness, what he heard in his ears was the voice of a haughty beauty… and the voice of a strangely familiar boy.
…… …
…
…
Manroji opened his eyes and realized that he was in an underground room. And that there was someone watching him.
“Who is it?” Why did you do this?”
“Hello, wizard.”
“Sigh…!?”
Manroji gasped as he witnessed the owner of the voice. He was dressed
in an incomprehensible purple custom-made suit and dressed as a bizarre clown. Because a man with a torn mouth was staring at him.
“Who are you!”
“…….”
“What? Why don’t you say something?”
“No, wait a minute. It’s been so long since I’ve seen a movie that I can’t think of the right lines. Huh… It’s been 4 or 5 years since I last saw you.”
“What…?”
“Shh… It’s all a joke. Don’t worry about it.”
Manroji immediately spewed out magical power towards the clown. A low-level, instantaneous magic fog of darkness. It would instantly kill those who fight in the back alleys. – Woe!
But
the moment the fog touches the clown, the light turns into darkness. It encroached and drove it out. As if it had been purified.
“What have you done…!”
“Even without the sun, it’s like a curse like this.”
His own magic didn’t work. The enemy was right in front of him to use intermediate magic. He drew magical power. The moment I posted this, they would stick a knife into my throat.
Manroji became urgent.
“Do you know who I am! I am a 4th floor mage of the Magic Tower…!”
“One thing is certain. If you get caught, your life will be ruined.”
He had a bat-shaped familiar in his hand.
“Shall we have a chat?”
* * * *
“Corin, here, here!”
Marie and I went out into the city. Nothing special happened. It seems that a distribution company under the Dunaref family has officially entered Merkava. It is a boss that did not exist in the previous episodes of
“Dunaref Fresh Distribution.”
Thinking about it now, there were many changes in the school after Marie’s confinement in the previous episodes.
First of all, learning became boring. For a long time.
“Even before you became a senior, your company was the supplier of food ingredients, right?”
“Huh? Ugh, I guess so? I thought my dad was ‘donating’.”
“….”
It wasn’t a delivery, it was a donation. When I was shocked, Marie tapped my nose and laughed.
“You’re kidding! Anyway, there are over 3,000 people including employees, so how can you give it to them for free?” ”
That’s right, right? Well, those many potatoes…”
“Oh, I’m giving away some of the potatoes I deliver to the royal capital with my pocket money.” ”
…….”
That guy who has a separate potato warehouse. A huge amount of potatoes…
“But what are you doing here?”
“While our store is opening, let’s go and sample them. I have something to give you.”
“Aha.”
The store Marie guided me to was… quite large.
It felt like a direct sales store from Nonghyup in the old days. There was even a restaurant on the second floor. Based on a large amount of ingredients brought in from the South. It looks like they are actively jumping into the restaurant business.
But isn’t this a large company taking over the alleyways?
“Here’s potato puree, potato pancakes, this is potato rice cake, stewed potato meat, potato gnocchi, croquettes, fries, and pie!”
Marie said to me . Perhaps because he wanted to show off, he ordered the chef to cook various dishes.
“Come on! Corin, eat a lot!”
Potato dishes laid out like crazy. It seems like there are all kinds of dishes that can be made with potatoes. ”
…You should know that I’m addicted to potatoes, senior.”
“Huh? Where’s the potato addiction? Corindo too.”
“Sir, how many potatoes do you steam every day?”
“Eighty green onions? But I share those with my friends!”
“Have you ever missed a potato dish from your three meals a day in the past year?”
“Potatoes… are like rice.”
“Look. “It’s an addiction.”
“No! I’m not addicted to potatoes! I also like corn, sweet potatoes, and carrots! You can quit at any time!”
People usually don’t express quitting with food. People who are addicted to carbonation or caffeine use the expression to quit.
“Really?”
“Really!”
Marie’s confident attitude made me pick up the salt and sprinkle it on the steamed potatoes. I sprinkled it on.
The white crystals pouring on the surface of the hot potato are very appetizing.
“………….”
“…………. ”
It’s so sticky that I stare at Marie, and cold sweat gradually trickles down her forehead. Her golden eyes flicker back and forth between the potato and me. “Can’t I just eat
this and hold back from the next time?”
“Just eat it all. What are you looking at?”
“Hehe.”
Marie grinned and picked up the potatoes, splitting the salt-sprinkled steamed potatoes in half and handing them to me. ”
Of course, Corin will eat half.”
“That’s true, too.”
She resumed eating. We do that. Then suddenly the story of the wizards of the Magic Tower came up.
“That’s right, Corin. The wizards of the Magic Tower who visited this time.”
“Why that story?”
“Corin said he would personally guide us. According to the original history,
Marie
was imprisoned in the academy’s underground facility at this point.
Research should have been conducted in the direction of suppressing and treating the vampire’s nature. .
This is probably the general reason why the Dunarev family did not intervene in the academy during political affairs.
However, the Magic Tower saw Marie in a different light.
An elder-level vampire who is extremely rare. If you study her blood and flesh, you will have tremendous magical powers. There will be progress. As expected,
these are crazy wizards who have no ethical constraints. They try things like human experiments without any hesitation.
“Sir. I was already planning on saying this.”
“Huh?”
“This visit from the Magic Tower is probably because of your senior.”
“Uh… because of me?”
Marie gave me a puzzled look, but soon realized the meaning of my words.
She too . A genius wizard with incredible skills. She soon realized the value of her own blood and flesh.
“…Why?”
Still, she couldn’t hide her doubts. Of course.
“If you… touch me, you’ll be in big trouble, right?”
Marie Dunareff.
Although she is jokingly called the Potato Empire, she is the owner of the granary region that is responsible for the entire continent’s food supply and is the richest family in the kingdom. In the original history, Dunareff is not mentioned due to Marie’s departure, but now
. Silver Marie is also walking around just fine.
Are you touching Dunaref with that Marie? For some kind of experiment?
“The Magic Tower are Tates Balthazar’s minions.”
“Tates… Balthazar. “Isn’t he a scary person that Corin is trying to fight against?”
“Yes, if the world is destroyed by the arrival of Paradise, then worldly power and wealth are all good things.”
That’s the scary thing about Balthazar and his forces.
No matter what crazy things they do, they don’t look behind them at all. It’s okay to act without it.
The destruction and reset of civilization and the arrival of new gods. All you have to do is go to paradise anyway.
“You were doing something so scary…” I
roughly said this to the party members.
I I intend to confront the fearsome being called Balthazar. Everything I do is to disrupt and ruin their plans.
But this is the first time I have said it in such detail.
“I will collect all the primordial runes and create paradise… Tir na Nog ( He opens the road to Tír na nóg and usurps the throne by proving his qualifications as the supreme king with the four great treasures.”
After that, he uses the control over the paradise he can obtain to release the demonic beasts of the shadow paradise all over the world.
“Civilization . destruction. And reset. After wiping out the earth, a world is opened where new gods are created. under… It’s not even a third-rate fantasy novel.
” “I think it’s scary that he actually has that kind of power.”
Marie listened to my story seriously and did not deny that it was nonsense.
“The fact that Corin told me this story… ”
“I will use all my resources to save the world. To what extent do you trust me, Senpai?”
“…”
Marie was silent for a moment in response to my question, then smiled and stood up from her seat. She came
over and sat down next to me across the table…
“Corrine . Corrin doesn’t need to ask me that question.”
The girl’s voice, leaning her head back, was more calm and determined than ever.
“I am. I can do whatever Corinne wants. Any favors… Because Corin is my Corin.”
“Senior…….”
“Hehe… Still, I’m happy. That Corinne wants my help like this. Corin is so good at taking care of everything… I was sad that there was nothing I could do to help.” “I can’t tell you
how helpful my senior has been so far. “When I was King of Iron Mountain, when I was at the festival, when I was at the Druid’s secret place.”
“I’m greedy. “I want to get far ahead of others.”
Marie has a solemn expression as if she is willing to endure any adversity.
“Actually… I want to ask Corin something…
” Please. “What? Your senior?”
“Rather than a request for wealth, it’s more of a reward? I wonder if something like that is needed… I guess it’s motivation…”
Motivation. It’s important. But Marie has something to ask me…?
“You know. It’s it’s it’s…”
Marie smiled sheepishly and tangled her fingers meaninglessly. How much time has passed?
Soon he clears his throat, swallows his saliva, and speaks in a stupid accent.
“After Corinne has finished what she asked me to do… can I ask you to do something for me?”
“Uh… sure. No, you can just say it now.”
“That seems a bit shameless…! I need some… some time!”
What is it? Marie has a favor to ask of me.
“Okay. What can I do for my senior?”
It’s real. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for Marie.
“Then, senior… would you please go somewhere with me for a moment?”
“Ugh?”
Marie tilted her head cutely.
* * * *
I took Marie to my own ‘Happy Inn’.
This inn was built specifically for the festival and still functions as an inn.
The management itself was entrusted to Lenya, an executive of the Intelligence Guild, but it was also used as my hideout.
“Co coco coco corin? What meaning should we take this?”
“Huh? I didn’t hear what was said.”
Marie is somehow shaking. He rubs his hands together and cannot keep them still.
“Grukuna… I don’t need to ask you anything like that, do I?”
“I’m going down here to the basement.”
“Huh, underground? If that’s the case… wouldn’t a place with good lighting be better?”
“What do you mean?”
“Oh, it’s nothing! Corin, do whatever you want! I’m just fine with everything!”
Marie is talking nonsense.
Marie seemed unable to take her steps, so I held her hand and went down to the basement.
The basement of the inn is not used as a guest room but as a warehouse. However, when I first built this inn, I built it with thorough security equipment in order to use it for a certain purpose.
“It’s here.”
“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…..”
Do you hate dark places? I took Marie, who looked somewhat nervous, and entered a dark room in the basement.
“This is it. Ha, well… there are a lot of listening ears in the dormitory… so the bed is… huh?”
When she entered the room, Marie stopped walking even half a step further. It’s worth it. Because in the center of the underground, Manroji, the warlock I kidnapped yesterday, was tied up.
“Senior, please do me a favor.”
“Corin?”
I said while holding Marie’s shoulders, who looked nervous.
“Please make him a vampire.”
-You
may not know, but my smile must have been twisted quite evilly.
