Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 109

◈Episode 109 To a Faraway Land (3)

In the end, everyone came down to the Magic Tower together in good harmony. The temple seemed to want to dissuade him somewhat from that fact, but they did not stop him in the end.

Although I did tell them to be careful of snakes and to send me away if anyone was hurt.

For reference, while coming down, I tried parkour as Berserker had predicted.

I would like to go into detail about it, but to summarize it as much as possible, I would say that Dev’s skull almost broke.

“Next time, I will definitely do it alone.”

“That’s all you can get away with, young hunter!”

“Don’t force a path that only you can take, you idiot!”

“It was quite helpful. “It was a bit difficult to keep up with the speed, but I didn’t know there were so many paths you could take off the road.”

While Dev was yelling that that wasn’t parkour, the Inquisitor was clenching his fists. It must have been a pretty good experience to see my green eyes and cheeks glowing with a fresh color.

From an observer’s perspective, it seemed like he didn’t have much talent.

“The devil knight will join us next time…!”

I will not. At least not in this city!

I desperately looked away from Kimchi Dumpling’s bright eyes. If you thought that my attack power would decrease, you were mistaken.

“Come on, let’s go in.”

At that time, the Archmage calmly led us inside. The magic tower in the middle of the lake was welcoming us with its door open.

The design seemed to have been taken directly from the dome of St. Peter’s or St. Paul’s Cathedral.

“I thought the Magic Tower building was small, but the main building is completely underwater…?”

“It wasn’t like this originally, but as the city developed and the waterway was diverted, it became like this. Still, it’s good to hear that both the wizards and residents are satisfied, saying that less noise escapes thanks to the water.”

Anyway, to enter the magic tower, you have to go there.

We walked along the road above the lake. The water flowing on both sides gave me the feeling of being on a boat. Even though it is a firmly fixed bridge and not a swinging bridge, I feel strangely nauseous.

Is this why there are no people passing by?

“The moment there is even a crack in the wall, the group will be taken to task…”

“Don’t say such scary things. And it won’t break that easily. “After it began to be submerged in water, the first thing the wizards took care of was safety.”

Usually, if I’m that confident, I’m the first to break. Because it is a lake and not an ocean, it seems easy to swim.

I walked inside the magic tower, paying attention in advance to the direction where the waterfront was closest.

An information desk could be seen through the open door. The interior decoration was simpler than expected, but objectively more ornate.

“I came to see the fierce white wind. “Can I come in?”

“Great Sage? Do you have an appointment?…”

Instead of answering, the Archmage gave her sign. The person at the desk jumped up at the evidence that he was a great sage. The legs that were sitting stiffly are straightened and the waist is bent to make a 90-degree bow.

“I’ll take you to the research building!”

“Hehe, there’s no need to dress too excessively.”

“Oh no, no. Archmage!”

The desk clerk handed us visit cards with trembling hands. There was also a warning to never take it off.

Roughly speaking, security in the research building is tight, so if you don’t have a visitor’s pass, you’ll be immediately arrested and taken to the interrogation room.

However, it was uncomfortable to wear around my neck, so I wrapped it around my wrist like a bracelet. The employee didn’t say anything, so this should be okay.

“This way.”

The staff guided us to one side of the road that split in two.

I don’t know what the other side is doing, but seeing a couple of people in ordinary clothes coming and going makes me think it’s a building related to that.

“I can’t see outside.”

“That’s because it’s more efficient to build a building and engrave strengthening magic than to create a barrier that can push out water.”

“…Then there won’t be any windows?”

“Maybe so. “Unless a material that can withstand water pressure but is transparent enough to see the outside comes into the world, it will be like that forever.”

We went down the stairs following the staff’s guidance. The stairs with no windows and only a back are reminiscent of a subway station.

“her. “Would it be frustrating to live in a place like that?”

“Haha, wizards don’t look outside any more than rats! So you don’t have to worry about feeling stuffy!”

Then wait a moment. As we reached the end of the stairs and entered the research building in earnest, a voice that did not belong to the group but that we had heard before interrupted us.

“Hehe hee hee White Wind Great Sage!”

“huh. I’ll take care of it from here on, so you go back. And… it’s been a while! I’m so glad you look healthy. Yep. Meanwhile, can you tell me in detail the story of how the seal was destroyed when you came here? “I heard it, but I can’t hear it from myself.”

It floated. Research enthusiast.

“How did you know we were coming and come to meet us?”

“huh? iced coffee. It’s not a meeting, it’s a coincidence! Some idiot was secretly experimenting in a magic-free zone and almost broke the wall and turned us all into water demons. But I saw you on the way back after scolding me for that!”

The fierce white wind murloc told a story that was not funny at all with a smiling face. The faces of the group turned pale.

“I heard that Master Nari won’t be easily broken…!”

“…I forgot about the enemy within. I apologize. “I will cancel the word safety.”

“Hey!!”

“hmm. Berserk knows how to swim. “If you’re in a hurry, just swim to the top of the lake and escape!”

“Berserk, as long as I live with you?!”

Dev, who was holding his head, looked at the Inquisitor as his last hope. Kimchi Dumpling, with a somewhat determined face, opened his mouth seriously.

“If I deploy the shield, I can block the waterway, so while I block it, you guys evacuate…!”

This side is somewhat normal, but it is based on self-sacrifice. Dev ended up slapping his face with his palm.

I thought it was a scene from a sitcom.

“Okay, anyway, let’s go. “How long have I been waiting for you to arrive?”

“this. I didn’t know you were looking forward to this. My heart aches. “You will have to leave the study.”

“why?!?!”

Even the white wind that is astonished like a puppy whose food bowl has been taken away is absolutely perfect.

“For some reason. That’s right, I have something to talk to you about. “You probably didn’t research the sealing sphere alone, and there is a mage who did the research with you. Let’s leave it to him and talk to me.”

“no! no!! How I looked forward to this moment! “There was something I wanted to ask of her, too!!”

“Do me a favor.”

The White Wind whined, but the Archmage was resolute. She called the wizards waiting behind the White Wind and gave orders.

It was a little funny that the Archmage’s orders took priority over White Wind’s even though White Wind was the branch’s owner.

“Let’s go. “Demon knight.”

…It makes me so sad to think that I now have to go into the heart of that madness.

“You guys can also tour the magic tower. Who knows if you might find something helpful. In particular, if you ask them to lend you a place to test your Inquisitor skills, they will gladly lend you their wisdom as well. Please take note.”

“Oh, I understand.”

“I already wanted to experience Berserk magic. “I’m going to test this to see if I can hold out!”

“…I’m going with Berserk.”

“Please.”

So our group dispersed.

* * *

I must have come to the right facility. To get more accurate figures, I repeated the work at Canabeth.

So, I used my skills again to check the output.

“Isn’t the devil talking to you or something?”

Maisie, who was squeezing me in the process, asked a question.

Considering the concept that I would cooperate because I had to stop the devil, but my mood would be extremely low, I raised my eyebrows, which had been crumpled mercilessly.

“This is a question to obtain certain data.”

Maisie had better social skills than Fierce White Wind. Instead of scolding me, he gave me a reason to open my mouth. It was an effective approach.

I barely got rid of the bitten tooth.

“does not exist.”

But concept quality is concept quality and I have never experienced anything like that. How does the devil in the setting talk to you?

“Is that true?”

“I said there was none.”

I was conscious of the eyes focused on me, so I gripped the chair handle more tightly. The iron handle buckled, making an unpleasant metallic sound.

The wizards immediately turned their heads.

“Then how does it feel when the devil takes over the initiative?”

But Maisie was different. She calmly continued asking questions. It was so business-like that I liked it even more.

“…You!”

But like is like and concept is concept.

I jumped up from my chair and glared at Maisie. Even though I was middle-aged, I was very short, so I had to lower my head.

“Please explain.”

“I would have already told the Great Sage.”

“I don’t think it would be okay if I repeat what I told you, Great Sage.”

Wow, your courage and your tongue are no joke. I would get scared if someone a head taller than me growled in front of me.

I admired the other person’s boldness and pondered my future course of action. If it’s a concept, I think I’ll run away from here, but is that okay?

bang!

“oh!”

What’s not to do?

“Oh, the measurements haven’t been completed yet!”

I stormed out of that place. There was no need to hesitate since people kept asking me to show my right arm.

The concept is that you would rather bite your tongue and die than show your right arm to others, but what do you think? This is an area that did not yield even to the fierce white wind.

It was surprising, but the white wind didn’t force it. In a situation like that, there is no reason for me to listen to those subordinates!

“Now wait a minute!”

Yeah, don’t listen to me.

I shook off the wizards’ hands and left the building. Although the path was a bit complicated, it was possible to escape by reversing the path. Hehehe.

“Hehe, if you just pay for this, you’ll also get this month’s paper…”

“Pomegranate tea That damn pomegranate tea was the problem. If I hadn’t drank that pomegranate tea, I wouldn’t have been caught here. Ugh.”

“I am a talking potato… I am a potato who only knows how to talk…”

“Hey hey! emergency! Cheongha’s Maisie is said to be transporting all materials and facilities to another branch! “Quickly tell this to the kids in the lab!”

However, in the process, I was able to get a glimpse into the daily lives of wizards. On the way out, they are spread out like zombies, so you can’t miss them.

“Sage… please pass the thesis….”

“Chief wizard, all of that is pointless. Whether you are a chief or a general, you are the same as the mage’s slave…”

Roughly speaking, the positions seem to go in the order of great sage (arch mage), sage (mage), chief wizard, and general wizard…. To be

honest, if you only listen to the talk, it’s just graduate school. It is itself. I’ve never actually visited a graduate school, but I’ve heard rumors about it.

“Ugh, it’s frustrating. I’d rather go to Cheongsanho’s magic tower than get ripped off here like this…”

“You’re not an idiot. “Would you accept a wizard there that even White Wind couldn’t withstand?”

“I heard you accept wizards without magic, so wouldn’t it be okay for me to tidy up…?”

“Pakchu, this is not it.”

“If you accept it and sleep there, you will be mobilized to catch Merman?”

“shit!”

I only had the image of being a research enthusiast, but wizards also have a surprisingly difficult life.

I felt sorry for no reason. As soon as I remembered the gaze that I had looked at with a sense of love in the past, I had the intention to look at it with a straight face.

“Who are you? An ordinary person is in the research building….”

I slightly tilted my arm so that I could clearly see the visitor’s card in my hand and climbed the stairs. I could see the desk and the door leading out of the lobby.

It’s finally outside.

Shoot ahhh.

After throwing back the visitor’s card, I quickly approached the bridge.

I must have felt a bit stressed after being in a place with no natural light for two or three hours, but a feeling of refreshment immediately hit me.

I didn’t know, but I guess I like open spaces. Well, that’s why I don’t often take the subway.

“If you get too close to the railing, you might get eaten.”

But who can be kind like this… Wait a minute, not ‘I can fall for it’, but ‘I can eat it’?

“Didn’t you see the warning sign?”

I turned my head slightly to look at the person who had warned me. He looked like a wizard wearing a robe and wearing a mark. Although I was very… young.

“Anyway, get off. “And now there are dozens of people who saw the disaster.”

I felt a little embarrassed when I saw that the child was just a little taller than my chest.

Of course, it was rude for me to get so embarrassed just because I was young, so I quickly calmed down. Just because he’s short, he might actually be an adult.

“what are you doing? “I want you to come out.”

Apart from being kind, his tone of voice is very blunt. There must be fifteen people like me who stand near the railing without looking at the sign every day.

“You really don’t listen. “I’m blind and deaf—.”

But didn’t personal attacks cross the line!?

“Avoid!”

I put my hand to my waist and pulled out my sword.

Suddenly!

The top of the lake was slightly cut and red bodily fluid splashed out. It was something that came through the water and was targeting me.

“You got the wrong person to warn, kid.”

So what attacked me… Wow, this isn’t even Central or South America, so why do king water snakes come out here?

This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t go near the railing, but shouldn’t we ban people from entering the lake?

Somehow, when the temple people told me they were going to the magic tower, they told me to be careful of snakes!

“Pear snake at once.”

I caught a glimpse of the water snake being cut in half and sinking into the water, then fell off the railing.

I wasn’t really scared of them attacking me, but I didn’t want to stick to the railing after hearing that flaming personal attack.

“Wait a minute!”

But the flame insulter caught me again. The hand that was trying to hit me fiercely lost all strength the moment I caught sight of the small figure. The hand that was holding me was pushed away with a feeling of a tap.

“Do you happen to accept a request?! “If you get it, can’t you take care of that snake?!”

Separately, does this lead to a side quest?

“Please, please! If we continue like this, all the customers who come to buy magic will disappear!!”

Is it a bitch…?
