Transmigrated into the Gacha Game I Abandoned for 10 Years

Chapter 103: Blue Matador (2)

“Really, are you considering moving to Lartania?”

Light Researcher Onel knew to some extent that the Master of the Blue Tower was unique.

Since all magicians are inevitably those who explore the truth and penetrate the principle, trying to somehow unravel what’s inside, those who have reached the pinnacle as magicians are somewhat eccentric.

However, among them, the Master of the Blue Tower, in Onel’s view, was slightly peculiar more as a ‘human’ than as a ‘magician’.

“Well, that’s right?”

Onel continued the conversation, looking at the Master of the Blue Tower, who was tidying up the office with an elated expression, shortly referred to as the Blue Tower Master.

“…Surely, it would be more inconvenient than the Tower, wouldn’t it?”

Onel’s words were a truism.

Even if she was moving to a Tower branch, there were many shortcomings compared to the tower itself.

Thinking about it, research facilities, materials, supply of materials, and recruitment of magicians to assist in research, even though the research facilities do exist at the branch, their size is significantly smaller compared to the tower.

“Moreover, it would be difficult to participate in regular meetings.”

The Master of the Blue Tower was a key figure who must attend the monthly meetings of the Tower Masters.

She was not a common magician found everywhere but the Master of the Blue Tower. That made it even more incomprehensible.

Certainly peculiar, but the fact that she, sincerely devoted to magic and exploration to the extent of ascending to the position of Tower Master, is leaving for Lartania territory.

“Whatever the inconvenience, it’ll work out. I plan to return and participate in the regular tower meetings about once a month.”

With a smile bright enough to illuminate the office, the Master of the Blue Tower swiftly tidied up, and Onel could easily guess why she wanted to go to Lartania.

No, he had already guessed.

It was already known that she had a somewhat strange and twisted attachment to the Lord of Lartania; what he had overlooked was that her twisted attachment was strong enough to make her give up the Tower.

“…Then, have a good trip.”

Therefore, Onel judged that it was pointless to persuade her further and slightly bowed his head to the Master of the Blue Tower, who had effectively tidied up the office.

However.

“Yes?”

Onel responded in confusion to the Master of the Blue Tower’s incomprehensible follow-up.

“Yes?”

“No, I just said to have a good trip.”

“Yes, well…You’ll return from the branch someday, won’t you?”

When Onel asked with a puzzled look, the Master of the Blue Tower shook her head slightly and then smiled brightly with a mischievous look on her face flushed with rosiness.

“Ah- Why would I when Dad is there? There’s so much to do there ♥.”

She showed a bright smile, revealing her characteristic sharp fangs.

“Anyway, I’ll be going now. See you next time.”

She bade a light farewell to Onel and left the Master of the Blue Tower’s office.

In his opinion, it was the most splendid.

“Hmm…”

After seeing the beautiful woman’s smile, Onel felt his heart flutter unnecessarily and cleared his throat without reason.

The Eastern Clan Alliance is literally a huge clan formed by a total of 62 territories gathered in the Eastern region.

This giant clan does not have a king like kingdoms or empires, instead, it operates a system where the leader is determined by voting every approximately five years, which on the surface seemed to be a much more egalitarian system than other kingdoms or empires.

The clan system they operate was created to elect a leader who could slightly better lead the clan, as it was truly a system of meritocracy.

And currently, the leader of the Eastern Clan Alliance, who actually holds the largest share of power among the various factions within the alliance, is Durandor, the Lord of Callogram territory and the leader of the Eastern Clan Alliance.

“…You’re saying they shot something incredible and wiped out a demon army of thousands?”

“Yes.”

“With just one shot?”

“That’s correct.”

He was currently listening to the report.

The content of the report was about the battle that occurred in Lartania territory a few days ago.

“Did you find out what it was?”

“I’m sorry. I stayed for about a day trying to find out, but I couldn’t find any information.”

After hearing the informant speak with a slightly bowed head, he thought for a moment before speaking.

“Did you find any additional instances of that thing that wiped out the entire demon army in Lartania?”

“No, we didn’t find any more. However-”

“However?”

“…After gathering information within the territory for a day, it seems that the Lord of Lartania and the Guild Master of the Blacksmith Guild were involved in preparing that item.”

“…Shouldn’t the Guild Master of the Blacksmith Guild be in the Norba Kingdom?”

“According to the information, the Guild Master had been in Lartania territory even before the Blacksmith Guild was established. And although it’s not certain, there’s additional rumor that the Blacksmith Guild’s Guild Master was the former blacksmith of Lartania territory.”

The informant continued.

Durandor was silent for a while, then,

“Tsk.”

He clicked his tongue lightly.

That was understandable because, although the informant brought a lot of information, there were only a few pieces of certain information.

Therefore, after sending the informant away with a light gesture, he lightly laid out the information gathered so far.

As a result of ongoing observation, it was clear that the Lord of Lartania, who had not made military advancements, had wiped out thousands of the demon army in one fell swoop with a strange item.

The Guild Master of the Blacksmith Guild was a blacksmith belonging to Lartania territory ten years ago.

These two pieces of information led Durandor to two more inferences.

The Lord of Lartania noticed the approaching demon army and asked the Guild Master to create that strange thing.

The blacksmith used a secret weapon he had already created to defeat the demon army.

Between these two inferences, he soon realized that pondering over this was meaningless.

Indeed, it was problematic whether the Lord of Lartania had noticed the demon army coming and had the blacksmith create that item for use.

It was also an issue if the blacksmith had used an already created secret weapon to defeat the demon army.

Whether the former or the latter, having confirmed that a weapon capable of killing thousands could be made in Lartania, and given the likelihood of its additional presence in the Lartania territory, he could not recklessly attack the Lartania territory.

‘More precisely, it’s difficult to act recklessly. This side is not yet ready to lose troops, and if the foreign force remains intact, it’s still a bit early.’

“This is really troublesome… I had hoped to turn them into demons as much as possible, but it’s utterly useless.”

Durandor muttered under his breath and then slyly shifted his gaze to the blue sphere placed on the desk.

Looking at that sphere, from which blue light seemed to flow at a glance, as if it should never exist in this world,

‘…Well, shall we investigate this first?’

He thought, with a smile.

“…Everything is for The Great One.”

Muttering, a blue gleam flashed in his eyes for a moment. Then it disappeared.

After much deliberation, Kim Hyunwoo ultimately decided to make two small missiles and one large missile.

The difference was that they were made without embedding Red Stones.

Of course, making missiles this way greatly reduces their power.

In fact, it’s not just a sharp decrease; the power essentially drops to one-tenth.

Moreover, at this point, without Red Stones, the missiles couldn’t even be launched, so it was more accurate to consider them as purely for show.

But it didn’t matter.

What Kim Hyunwoo intended to do was to make missiles for show.

‘Showing off is necessary, after all.’

While showing off may seem meaningless in some respects, in the current state of Lartania, it was more important than any situation.

Currently, Lartania had effectively told the surrounding territories, ‘If you mess with me, you’re screwed’, by launching missiles at the demon army.

At such a time, showing off the missiles was effectively a way to wisely avoid battle while also gaining the trust of the territory’s residents.

‘Furthermore, if other foes happen to invade, we can simply load up the Red Stones and launch them.’

…Given the current impoverished state of the territory, making it questionable whether launching missiles is even feasible, he hoped that such situations wouldn’t occur as much as possible.

‘…So, upon further thought, why did the demon army attack me…?’

Kim Hyunwoo was newly immersed in this question.

Even now, there was almost no change in the information he had, so he couldn’t come to a conclusion, but no matter how he thought about it, it was strange that the demon army led by Landaron came to attack him.

However, Kim Hyunwoo’s worries didn’t last long due to the lack of information.

Just as the finances of the Lartania territory began to stabilize in practice.

A ★★★★☆ hero 'Master of the Blue Tower' has entered the territory.

Not long after hearing that the Mage Tower branch was completed, Kim Hyunwoo was able to meet the Master of the Blue Tower through the notification that appeared before him.

“It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Dad ♥.”

“…What?”

Kim Hyunwoo responded, dumbfounded.

And then.

“Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?”

River, who had come in smiling broadly to report on missile improvements, started repeating the same sound like a broken toy.

“…Dad? Wait… The term ‘Dad’ is already being used for the Lord-”

Elena, equally panicked, began to mutter with trembling eyes.
