The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 94: Everything is done in accordance with the procedure (2)

Garnet Hall.

In Garnet Hall, which managed the magic tools in the Mage Tower, there was a private room managed by the enchantment school.

The work done in that private room was, of course, the work of enchantment magic tools.

It was a study of enchantment where the results didnt follow the effort.

If something went slightly wrong, the valuable tool would be damaged.

She couldnt stop sighing in Garnet Halls private room.

However.

Ugh. Why are you giving me such an ordeal !!

Even in the private room, a rare scream came out.

Senior Mage of Enchantment, Kiko Armin.

She shouted a scream of resentment.

Flop

Kiko sprawled over the magic table.

Skilled mages looked at her and exchanged glances.

Is she really okay?

Kiko showed no signs of getting up.

Eventually, one of the skilled mages had no choice but to take the bullet.

Senior Mage Kiko. As expected, were the ones responsible

If you were going to do that, you shouldnt have told me in the first place.

Oh, I am sorry. We were short-sighted

But what if things went wrong after you kept quiet? Even then, I would never have stayed still. I would have asked why you didnt tell me.

I-Im sorry about that, too

What are you sorry about? Anyone can tell Im fickle.

Kiko grandly lay down on her stomach.

She shot sharp words like chain lightning.

Skilled mages exchanged glances again.

Oh, boy.

Here it came!

Senior Mage Kikos persecution complex!

Her complex was a disease caused by her lack of self-esteem.

If the other schools of Mage Tower diligently earned results.

Enchantment was a school that took up your wealth for the results.

You better change your career path now. Whats good about clinging to enchantment? Damn you, research! If I were as young as you!

Seeing that she even mentioned the age that she normally didnt bring up.

This complex wouldnt go away easily.

Skilled mages shook their heads.

Thats understandable.

But they understood her feelings.

The cause of this situation was obvious.

Kiko, who had been spitting out hysterical words, eventually brought up the name.

Damn it, Chief Lee Hoyeol, is he touching enchantment studies because he lacks something? No matter how you look at it, its clear that hes keeping an eye on us! Get off the Mage Tower right away, loss-making insects! Instead of saying that, hes keeping an eye on us like this. Isnt that right?

The obvious culprit, Chief Lee Hoyeol!

Indeed.

The reason why Garnet Halls private room was on alert was because of Hoyeols order.

I knew it from the moment he kept an eye on me at the dinner table

Peek

Kiko, who was muttering resentfully, finally raised her head.

Can you read that request one more time?

Rough purple hair.

The dark shadow under her eyes was darker than that.

If she was going to use her face like that, they should have given it to her

Hey, are you listening?

Shake

At her urging, the skilled mage shook off useless thoughts and replied.

Ah, yes! According to the order sent by Chief Lee Hoyeol First, extract the effect contained in the submitted magic tool and apply it to the submitted material. Second, amplify the effect extracted from the material and give it to the magic tool

Kiko looked at the skilled mage reading the parchment.

The chattering mouth showed no sign of stopping.

Kiko chewed inside.

No matter how many times I listen to it, I dont understand.

As expected, he was the main culprit of everything!

Enchantment that she loved and hated.

The knowledge she could acquire was absurdly vast, but the damage she had to endure in order to properly demonstrate that knowledge was too great.

As she said, it was an inefficient magic field.

In other words, it wasnt worth studying.

Even Marcelo, the chief mage, had only a basic knowledge of magic enchantment.

However.

Why do you know this in detail?

The order sent by the chief who just rolled in was overly detailed.

Even though he understood the limitations of magic enchantment.

He demanded results that were close to cutting the threshold.

In short, it was a very strict order!

Unless you have knowledge of enchantment up to the advanced process.

You couldnt ask for an order like this.

Thinking about it like that, it was the same during the regular conference as well.

He asked a sharp question about the enchantment research.

Thanks to that, the skilled mage who had struggled then was right in front of her.

The skilled mage, who had been chattering for a long time, finished speaking.

Kiko rubbed her chin.

I think theres still something left. What is it?

Oh, theres a word he added as a postscript.

Postscript?

It said here to use it if its helpful What is this? Its knowledge that we cant understand with our knowledge as skilled mages.

He possessed a personality that you never wanted to have on a superior.

But personality and ability were two different things.

Kiko vividly remembered what Hoyeol had shown.

Above all, the thing that had the biggest impact on that impression.

It was, of course, the case of Senior Mage Banglet Tom.

Really, it was out of the ordinary.

Banglet Tom.

Elder mages.

And what led to demonic worshipers.

The contradiction of the Mage Tower that she never would have imagined.

Hoyeol was the biggest contributor to solving it.

Use it if it helps?

So she was curious.

What did he write down.

That even the skilled mages were tongue-tied saying it was hard to understand?

Ill have to read it.

Sk

Kiko finally rose from the magic table.

And she beckoned.

The skilled mage handed Kiko the parchment paper.

Hes amazing. Seriously.

Their chief who just rolled in.

He didnt do anything half-heartedly.

The length was too much to be called a postscript.

Wasnt this longer than the detailed order?

She shouldnt have read it.

Soon, however, Kikos expression began to change.

Wait. Isnt this?

The moment she read the first paragraph.

She realized it.

No wonder you guys cant understand.

Because this wasnt a knowledge of magic enchantment.

Strictly speaking, its the knowledge of another school.

It was hard to say.

It was written with a mixture of knowledge from various schools.

However, as the senior mage of enchantment school, she could guess.

He didnt make such a difficult request for nothing, did he?

The postscript added by Hoyeol.

It might be able to compensate for the limitations of enchantment studies.

As soon as she read it, she realized that fact.

It wasnt even a difficult solution.

It just needed a change of mindset.

How did he get this perspective?

The answer didnt exist only in enchantment.

The reason why Kiko couldnt change her mindset was simple.

The thought that any senior mage had.

Enchantment is the best

Yes, it was because of the insistence that her magic was the best.

Then she realized it.

How Hoyeol could come up with this idea.

Kiko laughed out loud.

It was possible because he was a stone that just rolled in?

Well, a rolling stone didnt gather moss.

Soon, Kiko rolled up her long robe.

Yeah. Alright. Its time for me to peel it off, too.

The time had come for her to peel off the moss that had inadvertently clung to her body.

Thats what she meant.

Skilled mages who couldnt even interpret the postscript couldnt fathom her deeply meaningful words.

What are you going to peel off all of sudden?

Skilled mages exchanged strange glances.

How stressed she must have been that she started talking nonsense?

Our poor Senior Kiko.

Do I really need to change my career path now?

*

What is the Mage Towers ultimate goal?

The pursuit of truth.

Of course, the Mage Tower didnt even know what the truth was.

Anyway, their end goal is the same.

In that sense, I wondered if there was a need for bad relationships between schools.

Well, I found out thanks to Grandfel, who had a natural gift for magic.

Its dark underneath the lamp.

Was it because I dug several wells?

The answer was unexpectedly easy.

It was like that at the regular conference.

The same was true for the enchantment magic this time.

Even if it was unfair that I studied, I wrote it down properly.

I would root out the Mage Tower.

Just like I had promised.

I drew an enchantment spell with a very detailed request.

Every time a detail was added.

Considering that changing the number of units was the Mage Towers enchantment service.

It was an estimate that ordinary players couldnt even think of.

You should eat in moderation. Whatever it is.

Of course, if you eat too much raw meat^[1]Eat raw meat = having it easy/taking the easy road. , you get a stomach ache.

So I added in the postscript.

Deep Theory of Enchantment.

The knowledge that I acquired while reading in Mugan.

Of course, the probability of successful enchantment would also increase.

It meant that I had nothing to lose.

Even if it was annoying, I had to take the first step properly.

That way, I could use it properly next time.

However, the procedure is more important than the outcome.

The procedure here was the deadline.

I never knew when things would happen.

In other words, I might urgently need an item.

Sure enough.

I also requested to enchant an item.

Not bad.

[Necklace of Noble Promise]

[Grade: Rare]

[Restriction: Lv.300]

[Effect: When attacked, theres a low probability of activating the skill Intermediate Protection.]

[Description: Its a necklace for lovers going to the battlefield. The hope for the other person to be safe has imbued it with magical power and it has an excellent effect.]

Wearing items that were kept in the inventory.

It was all for the preparation.

Because I needed to get rid of threats.

Dispose of the runaway demon worshippers. (In progress)

I just turned the pages and enjoyed my tea time.

The demon worshipers confessed the plan they knew.

I recited calmly.

Whether theyre high-ranking, low-ranking, or a demon king. The fact that theyre insignificant doesnt change.

I said that, swayed by pride.

It just wasnt usually serious.

I was fully aware of it.

The demon hunters knowledge was telling me.

Not all demon kings are the same. Depending on their rank, a low-ranking demon and a demon king. The difference is bigger than that. Therefore, it is safe to say that a high-ranking demon king has the same power as a great evil. freewebnovel.c om

It was simple, so to speak.

I was not the only one who cheated and took a shortcut!

The demons.

And the demon worshippers.

They were the same.

Our plan was to revive the high-ranking demon king faster. Yeah, Banglet Tom was just one of those offerings. It was a damn failure.

When I first heard that, I felt really dizzy.

I did manage to defeat a demon king, Decarabia.

Decarabias ranking was only 69th out of 72 demon kings.

Between Decarabia and a high-ranking demon king.

The difference between them was even bigger than the gap between a low-ranking demon and a demon king.!

The same was true of the great evil, Greed of the Seven Deadly Sins.

He was even ignorant of the [Exorcism] that Decarabia knew about.

Although I didnt know why.

He wasnt an opponent that could be called a great evil.

As someone who had knocked him down, I knew that better than anyone else.

Yeah, even those guys with some missing screws.

I knocked them out in a pathetic way.

If, as planned by the demon worshipers,

The high-ranking demon king had been resurrected at this point

I dont even want to imagine it. Seriously.

In that sense, I couldnt help but praise myself again.

You did well at the right timing.

Im so proud of you, Lee Hoyeol.

It was a relief that I didnt feel intimidated in front of the elder mages.

Thanks to that, I had a chance to fight back.

However.

Its unpleasant that were breathing the same air.

One demon worshiper who fled the Mage Tower.

As long as he was alive and breathing.

The demon worshipers plan to resurrect the high-ranking demon king was still in effect.

The reason why the demon worshipers trapped in Mugan hadnt opened their mouth until the end was because they knew that.

I have persevered so far by believing that. But I cant do it anymore! I dont have the confidence to hold out any longer. My mind cant hold on!

Of course, I couldnt let them go just because they told me the truth.

Above all, werent they the criminals of high treachery of the Mage Tower?

If they were treacherous, be treacherous to them.

They should bear the punishment according to the procedures of the Mage Tower.

Of course, so is the other one.

The one demon worshiper remaining.

It seemed that even the demon worshipers didnt know about his whereabouts.

Hes tough.

Even the demons possessing the humans couldnt be recognized unless using [Natural enemy Relationship]. It wouldnt be easy to find a demon worshiper, a person who even took the position of an elder mage.

But one thing was clear.

The day he acts rashly will be the day of his disposal.

To carry out the plan.

The moment he moved.

I.

No, to be exact, the Mage Tower.

It would be the day we moved to punish the criminal of high treachery.

Yeah.

Marcelo, as well as twenty senior mages.

Once again.

I can exert prestige beyond the tigers might that the fox borrowed!

In that sense, Im looking forward to it.

But even if I was alone in this dark heart.

It was something that couldnt be revealed.

I only recited coldly.

Do your best until the end.

Well, it wasnt easy to struggle desperately.

I meant it.

He might get a cramp on his leg soon.

*

The top floor of a hotel.

Scattered clothes.

A thick cloud of smoke.

Fluctuating unclean energy.

Indeed, it deserves to be called the demon den.

Gray hair with pomade.

Properly groomed beard.

Dressed in modern attire.

The elder mage.

Karimjeva, now a demon worshipper, continued.

This world is no different from the Arcana continent. Yeah.

Except for the vast amount of mana that fluttered in his body.

He looked perfectly adapted to society.

There is no difference. Rather, it seems more doomed.

On the bed.

A man rose from among the drunken women.

What was there to hide in front of a demon worshiper?

Proof of possession was revealed.

He looked around the hotel with black eyes.

I am a demon too, but in a way, youre more vicious than the demons. For the demons. Things like being strong and committing an evil deed. We have no justification for that. But you kick fellow human beings into the pit simply for your own pleasure.

Watch what you say.

I see. Youre taking care of the demon king more than I am, a demon!

Gooo

Karimjevas mana rose.

The demon urgently raised both hands and picked his words.

Hey. Im kidding. You cant even joke?

I guess our plan sounded like a joke to you.

No, thats not what I meant. What I mean was!

Thats enough. I dont need the long story.

He had escaped from the Mage Tower.

It had been a long time since he hid in society.

But the flow was unusual.

Telepathy doesnt come in.

The elder mages who remained in the Mage Tower.

There was no news from the demon worshipers.

Since he didnt have access to the Mage tower.

He didnt know the exact reason.

It was clear that the plan had been disrupted.

Its incomprehensible.

Like him, they were elder mages.

Who could question their words and actions?

Even if they raised doubts.

They shouldnt have been in so much trouble.

To the point where they couldnt even send telepathy to him.

Dont tell me.

Did they betray him?

Just like how they had betrayed the Mage Tower in the past.

Did they betray the demons this time?

No, they know what the real truth is.

He knew that, but.

The longer he waited, the greater his distrust.

Eventually, Karimjeva was forced to make contact.

To the demon in the human mask.

Karimjeva said.

I need news from the Mage Tower. With your position in this world, you should be able to easily acquire information about it. You occupy this body for that.

His words made the demon smile.

Yes, you know it so well.

?

I am the only one who can answer your curiosity. You just treat me like this? I know that you are a great nobleman. There is a stake between us, isnt it?

Damn it, little demon bastard.

He didnt even need interference.

With just his mana.

He could blow this kind of demon.

However.

I wont be able to know the news about the Mage Tower. Then the plan

Karimjeva desperately suppressed his murderous intent.

And he answered.

Youre right. I was careless.

Karimzeva, who was called the Fire Dragon in the past.

He bent down to the demon.

He had only taken the first step.

He already felt like his legs were sprained.
