The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 93: Everything is done in accordance with the procedure (1)

The crisis of continental extinction

Marcelo groaned.

World Tree, a being that had been considered a legend.

The fact that it existed was shocking news.

Not only Hoyeol had discovered the World Tree.

He even sprouted its seed and came back.

Besides, to think he even signed a contract with a spirit in the process.

Sir Hoyeols steps are too much to keep up.

But the fuss didnt last long.

Marcelo grasped the situation coolly.

But it was a good decision. The World Tree in the legend is the one who coordinates the world of Arcana. If the gap in its existence had lasted longer. The forces of the demons would become stronger, and those who resist them would lose their strength.

Hoyeol sprouted a new World Tree.

It was like planting a seed of hope on the Arcana continent.

Its a different level of problem from the research of magic.

The fact that hed done such an amazing thing.

Was Sir Hoyeol aware of it?

Indeed, it was an accomplishment worthy of being praised as an achievement by everyone on the Arcana continent. However, the person himself was so calm.

More than that, he was no different from the usual.

Marcelo wondered.

He didnt think that far?

Rather than being satisfied with his accomplishments.

He seemed more satisfied with the leisurely tea time.

Marcelo was determined.

Even if it means getting stuck with the impression of being too chatty.

Sir Hoyeol.

Hed done an amazing job.

He needed to be aware of it.

This isnt just empty words, theres a new atmosphere on the continent

The moment Marcelo made up his mind.

Clink

Hoyeol put down his teacup and opened his mouth.

You are right, Marcelo.

Calmly.

By sprouting the seed of the World Tree. The energy of life will come to the Arcana continent.

He continued talking.

The energy of life will be a great help to those who resist the crisis of extinction. Its not just a figure of speech, but it also affects vitality and mana regeneration.

There was no change in his tone.

Those who have witnessed the new World Tree will also intuitively sense the danger of the extinction on the continent. To protect the World Tree and the continent. You can expect them to face the demons with even more heroic determination.

There was no agitation, no excitement.

He knew it more accurately than I did!

Even though he knew hed made a great achievement.

To think he could recite his achievements so calmly.

He acted as if what hed done was only natural.

As expected, I cant keep up with Sir Hoyeols thoughts.

Marcelo could not help but feel amazed at Hoyeols vessel once again.

.

.

.

[A new World Tree has taken root on the Arcana continent.]

[The Arcana continent blesses the birth of the World Tree.]

[The energy of life is swaying throughout the Arcana continent.]

[The vitality regeneration buff is applied to the entire Arcana continent.]

[The mana regeneration buff is applied to the entire Arcana continent.]

I just read the message that was printed out.

Because the message said so.

I was able to say all that.

But Marcelo didnt know.

I was successful by skipping the massive intermediate step. It was like turning a blind eye to the normal path and using tricks to reach the shortcut.

That fact.

I knew that better than anyone.

To think I could be so brazen.

Seriously, I want to be appalled by the thickness of my skin.

Of course, this attitude that never alternated between joy and sorrow.

Lets just say its fortunate that it didnt budge.

However, even if Grandfel didnt show his emotion.

Wait, what did Marcelo just say?

I couldnt help but feel shocked at his next words.

It was a talk that made me doubt my ears.

The Mage Tower no longer requires the approval of a majority of the heads.

At first, I guessed that much and moved on.

Well, because the heads of the current Mage Tower werent intact.

The Tower Master was unable to act normally.

It was a situation in which three of the five elder mages were identified as demon worshipers.

Even if they were the heads, there were only two elder mages left.

What was the point of a majority?

Yeah, I thought that was what he meant.

The towers exit. The full power has been given to us.

What? Thats what you meant?

The moment I realized that.

A quest window came up in front of me.

Chiefs weight (Repeat)

• Conduct verification at Topaz Hall. (Successful)

• Conduct the regular conference successfully. (Successful)

• Supervise the mages tower exit. (In progress)

I couldnt help but feel shocked.

The towers exit.

What he meant was obvious.

Thats right. Thanks to Sir Hoyeol breaking the ties of contradiction. Finally, we, the Mage Tower, are able to act outside.

The mages who were tied to the Mage Tower were moving!

The day had finally come.

I couldnt show it again this time, but I was deeply moved.

Is my dream coming true?

At the same time, I felt reassured in my heart.

I realized the need for reinforcements in the [Predators Swamp].

If I hadnt gotten a give-and-take in advance.

If I hadnt gotten any help.

I, on my own.

I could never have sprouted the seed of the World Tree.

In that sense, the mages of the Mage Tower.

As an ally, there was no one stronger than them.

Moreover, I had to carry out the world quest.

From now on, there would be more and more quest goals waiting.

By the way, if the Mage Tower became allies.

Not only a shortcut.

Wouldnt it be possible for me to create a new path?

Yeah, Im going to break through the highway!

By the way, hold on.

Somehow the flashing quest goal was somewhat unusual.

Instead of approving the towers exit

He wanted me to supervise it?

The purpose of the towers exit will vary. However, in common, it will be directed toward the ruptures. However, as you know from your experience in appointing Banglet. There is a high possibility that the demons magic exists in the ruptures.

Indeed.

[Cracked Dimension Gap].

In the rupture, ???.

An unnamed demon aimed at Banglet.

Of course, it was only possible because of the cooperation of the elder mages who were devil worshipers.

Even if its not necessarily that.

It must be because I was a demon hunter.

The demons were going to invade reality in more clever ways.

Because they were a race that became more despicable the stronger they were.

In that sense, Marcelo seemed to be wary of that.

I want our powers to be fully used.

The Chief Mage of the Mage Tower.

Great power comes with great responsibility.

Marcelo knew that better than anyone else.

I hope so, too.

I nodded silently.

Lets say that Banglet got possessed by a demon.

Just imagining it was terrible!

I couldnt run away even when a demon was right in front of me. I would have forced myself to face Bangrit, and by now I would have drowned in the afterlife, sinking in this heavy pride.

Therefore.

As you said, there must be a need for a supervisor.

In my old age.

I would launch the towers exit.

To be exact, I needed to accompany them to the ruptures and supervise them. However, being a supervisor was always the standard for me, Grandfel.

The procedure will be simple.

Of course, the procedure always came first.

Marcelo nodded.

I opened my mouth without hesitation.

A mage who wishes to exit the tower must specify the purpose of the exit in detail and deliver it to me. It is solely up to me to judge whether that purpose is justified. Of course, in my judgment, the position of the applicant is not considered.

Being swayed by others and taking troublesome tasks?

Granfels heavy pride would sway others.

Now that I, Grandfel, had supervised the exit of the tower.

It should be the mages, not me.

I continued brazenly.

Also, I decide and proceed with all the exit schedules.

Learn another thing.

You shouldnt make promises recklessly in society.

Look at it now.

This happens because you give me the full power.

Ill deliver it to the senior mages.

Would this unfair procedure pass right away?

But it wasnt something I cared about.

Hadnt I declared it all along?

If you hate it, you shouldnt have asked me to do it from the beginning.

Under the weight of the chief.

I had to enjoy everything I wanted to.

In order not to sink.

In addition.

Theres another place I need to take care of right now.

Yes, now that Mage Tower was officially active.

I needed to remove the biggest threat.

About the situation of the Mage Tower.

And about the demons.

The threat that existed before that.

[Quest: Reconstruction of the Mage Tower]

The true nature of the contradiction that existed in the Mage Tower.

Now even the purpose of the Mage Tower, the pursuit of truth, has become impure.

Set the Mage Tower straight from its foundation.

Encounter with the Tower Master. (In progress)

Dispose of the runaway demon worshiper. (In progress)

Find the true truth. (In progress)

The supervision of the towers exit, as well as the regular conference.

It was a job where my pride as a chief was at stake.

Of course.

In the towers exit that I supervised.

Not a single sudden action was acceptable.

I have to dispose of the threats.

I stood up from my seat and said.

Its time to interrogate the Mugan prisoners.

Marcelo asked in a concerned voice.

Are you leaving right away?

Yes.

Are you sure you dont mind?

Mugan.

Mages of the Mage Tower were born with natural magic powers.

The sense of helplessness they felt in Mugan seemed to come as a considerable psychological shock.

Even Marcelo, as well as the elder mages who were like sly creatures, couldnt keep their sanity in the Mugan.

But havent I told you?

The first thing Grandfel learned as the next head of the family was to be indifferent about trivial matters.

The position of head of the Claudie family was a position where even the slightest agitation was not tolerated.

The terrible Mugan was like my bedroom.

But I couldnt tell him my ugly past even if I had to die.

I just added it on my own.

Helplessness is also part of the senses.

!

Even I need to get used to it. Marcelo.

As the one that was suffering until just now.

I wrapped up the experience of mana exhaustion in a plausible way

*

All he could see was darkness.

Are you there?

He didnt hear any answer even if he asked the air.

Shit!

Now even his hearing was broken?

Or perhaps they really couldnt answer him.

The elder mage of the Mage Tower.

No, the demon worshiper.

No, he wasnt even that anymore.

He was just a helpless human being groaning in the middle of Mugan.

How long has it been?

His mind was clouded.

His memory was hazy.

At this rate, this would be a problem even if they were released from Mugan.

Could he properly manifest his magic when that time came?

However, even such worries could only be done when there was hope.

Even after such a long time.

Why was he stuck in this damn place?

No way, did the whole plan go down the drain?

It wasnt easy to shake his head and try to clear off his thoughts.

Yes, the plan may already have worked. Even though he knows were locked up in Mugan. Even though he can afford to rescue us. Isnt he turning a blind eye to us?

As expected, was he just a discarded card?

Shit!

More and more doubts and distrust dominated his thoughts.

In the midst of that.

!

Creak

The door opened and someone approached.

It didnt matter who it was.

If they would get him out of here, he could beg as much as they wanted.

Who is it? Did you come to get me, us, out?!

But there was no answer.

Yeah, in Mugan.

Tap tap

For some reason.

He only heard the sound of shoes that remained strong in his confused memories.

Soon, the demon worshiper saw an incredible sight.

Y-You?

Because his memory was hazy, he couldnt recall the unfamiliar name.

Silver hair.

A face full of arrogance.

How could he forget that appearance?

That man was the adventurer who was put by Marcelo in the chief co-researcher position.

The fact that he reappeared in Mugan.

What it meant was simple.

Even though I feel like its been forever.

The plan was to reach the true truth.

Was it still so far away?

He felt a renewed sense of despair.

But the real despair was just the beginning.

!

The man was seated in the chair.

Then he picked up something without saying a word.

Through his blurred vision.

He couldnt see it exactly, but he could tell.

It was a book.

And on the mans other hand

A glass?

Correct.

To be exact, it was a teacup.

This wasnt the floating garden.

This place was Mugan.

The flow of time.

Physical senses.

It was a space where everything converged at all times.

It was a terrible space where you couldnt maintain your sanity the moment you stepped in! However, not only did he open a book in this quiet space, he could enjoy tea?

Is that how his mind stays sound?

But the question didnt last long.

Soon, he realized it.

Sk

The sound of turning pages.

Clink

The sound of a teacup moving.

!!

Those actions became the ticking sound of the clock.

It was a reminder of his broken sense of time.

That meant part of his senses were back.

It wasnt something to be happy about.

Judging from the mans book.

It seemed a few days had passed.

Its only now that a page has turned over?

Likewise.

It felt like forever.

The steam from the teacup showed no signs of cooling down.

T-Thats ridiculous!

Yeah, there must have been some sort of trick.

Obviously, magic trick

He thought so and then realized.

This place was Mugan where mana couldnt exist.

Then the time Ive endured for eternity?

Only a few weeks.

No, it was only a few days?

If so,

How much longer do I have to rot here?

From what hed felt so far.

He felt a sense of despair on a completely different level.

Just because of a book and a teacup.

.

.

.

Even a small amount of time should be valued.

Well, even in school.

Good students didnt let go of their books even during breaks.

Besides, I felt regretful.

I had to dig a lot of holes to live.

The interrogation should be done efficiently, too.

I couldnt just waste my time interrogating a demon worshiper or something like that.

Thats why I entered Mugan with a magic book and a teacup.

Of course, I had no obligation to kindly explain the reason.

Intensive Theory of Enchantment.

Sk

The book I brought was an advanced course in enchantment.

The services of the Mage Tower, which I could enjoy for free by claiming my right as the chief, included enchantment.

Therefore, I had no intention of attempting enchantment with my own hands, leaving behind the free service of the Mage Tower.

Even if its enchantment, it depends on who made the touch.

As a result, the effect of the item changed.

I couldnt do anything properly with my poor hands that lacked magic power.

But even if I had to borrow someones hand.

I need knowledge in order to properly borrow it.

Besides, this was knowledge that could be used over and over again once acquired.

Thinking so, I focused on reading.

Suddenly, I heard a voice close to a groan.

I-I will tell you the truth. The elder mage who had escaped, where he was, and what he was doing. Ill tell you everything as much as I know!!

Whats with him all of a sudden?

The interrogation hasnt even started?

He saved me a lot of trouble.

However.

There was a procedure for everything.

I said with my eyes fixed on the book.

Wait.

?

Quiet while reading.

I mean, keep your basic etiquette.

Hi, everyone, I didn't update yesterday because there was a trouble with the wifi. Thankfully, it's all fixed now
