Chapter 49 – Newspaper (2)

What Raize was talking about was an advertisement. There was nothing to be ignored as a resident of a fantasy world, but to think of having already figured out the positive function of a newspaper and putting advertisements in it.

‘Is the Magic Tower different?’

However, advertising is, after all, a business. There must be something coming and going. It’s not like they’re digging the ground and doing business, shouldn’t they be paid for it?

I asked Raize what the Mage Tower could pay.

“If you do a favor, what can the Magic Tower do for you?”

“Nothing.”

“…… Then do we have to comply with the Mage Tower’s request?”

“If you think so, you can just refuse. This is the official position of the Mage Tower.”

After those words, Rize quietly drank the tea. Glancing at him, I felt the emotion in his eyes that he wanted me to accept this.

‘Why?’

As if they had nothing to regret at all, why did they look at themselves with those eyes?

My head rolls like it’s going to break. But the answer did not come easily. In the first place, I was a rat poison. Originally, Deokgu should be in charge of this task…….

‘This kind of thing comes out a little bit and takes it…….’

Deokgu was making a newspaper in his room. When someone entered the room, no one accepted it because they would be disturbed.

In the end, it was my job to solve the riddle raised by Raise. It was not a skill to use the head, but I tried to hit it to some extent with the experience and intuition I have accumulated over the years.

‘The magic tower…… Can I borrow your name?’

That was not a bad condition. No matter how much the saintess has her back her, there is no guarantee that she will always protect us.

But what if the magic tower is added to it?

‘Hogahowi. The mage tower doesn’t need any help. Even if the name of the mage tower is attached…… Few kids will stick their teeth at us.’

If the name of the magic tower is attached, there will be very few people who touch our newspaper. The name of the Mage Tower is attached, but coming here to openly argue is the same as challenging the Mage Tower.

Concluding, I slowly nodded my head.

“…… Alright, the Mage Tower’s request. Accept it.”

“Huh, I wasn’t an idiot at all.”

“…… I will be smarter than you kid.”

“I’m not a kid.”

Ra now glared at me with fire in his eyes His, I didn’t care. Where is the person who is frightened by a kid who is more than half his size?

“So, what is this magic circle doing?”

“…… Don’t tell me.”

“Where is that? Won’t you make a contract?”

“…… A magic circle that only those who are talented in magic can see.”

Raise exhaled lightly and began to draw a magic circle. Letters are created following his fingers his.

[If you come to the Mage Tower with this newspaper, I will give you one silver coin!]

When I saw that, I was started and asked him.

“No, isn’t this going to lead to financial ruin? They give you silver coins just for bringing a newspaper?”

“…… Can you see this?”

“Then can’t you see? It was written openly in front of my eyes.”

“You have a talent for magic.”

“…… Ok?”

Rajee looked at me with his eyes half-moon open as if startled. Seeing his expression like that for the first time, I also looked at him in every way.

Do you have a talent for magic?
I?

* * *

“I’m home. Master.”

“Okay, what are the results?”

“I decided to accept…… But is there any reason for the Mage Tower to be there?”

At Raize’s words her, her mentor her, Meteor, stroked her beard and looked at her.

“Are you prepared to lay down your life to satisfy your petty curiosity?”
“Yes.”

Seeing Rize answer without hesitation, Meteor burst into laughter. I think it was Hongbok in his later years who picked up such an interesting disciple.

Haha, yes. We wizards are people who risk their lives to realize the truth of magic. Of course it should. Cancer.”

“Master, so the answer is…….”

“Ah, yes…… Because there was a request from the saintess.”

“Saint…… Yo. This?”

“Okay.”

Meteor flicks her finger and brings her letter from her desk. It was a simple beginner magic, but it was as natural as breathing.

That meant that he had reached full maturity, and it was proof that he was one of the few Arch Mages in the Mage Tower.

“Don’t touch him and the Earth Merchant he created…… To be precise, it was a request for a little convenience.”

“Why is the saintess…….”

“Okay. If we are looking for the truth of the world, they are already trusted by those who are no different from the truth. Didn’t you receive some interesting oracle?”

Saying that, Meteor waved her hand away from her chair and looked at Raise.

“And, there was a judgment from the leadership that lending a name is nothing if you can spread it widely to people for free without spending a penny.”

Until now, the way to find a new mage was very ignorant.

Since they were so closed-minded, they couldn’t find talented people, so most of them found talented people when they went on a trip or carried out a request.

If not, it’s all about nobles and rich people coming to see if their children have talent or to teach them magic.

That’s why the Mage Tower always suffered from a lack of talent.
But from now on, it’s different.

“If that newspaper spreads across the country and around the world. That’s how many people will be looking for the Magic Tower.”

First of all, it was great that the newspaper was distributed free of charge. Distributing it for free means that even poor orphans living in the slums can read the newspaper. It means that the probability of finding a talented person is also increased.

“Get ready. Rize. Isn’t it something that you might also take in disciples?”

“…… I still lack a lot. I still have a lot left to learn from Master.”

“Know. But…… If there are a lot of new talents coming in, they’ll need a teacher to teach them the basics of magic. It’s something we can’t do. It will probably be mostly young wizards like you.”

“Master, I am not young.”

“Heh heh, isn’t he half of my age?”

“Still… I am an adult.”

“You are young enough.”

Raise puffed out his cheeks and got angry at those words, but in Meteor’s eyes, it was just cuteness.

Seriously, I heard there’s fun in raising a disciple in your later years. Meteor conducted a class for students who had been running errands.

Dungeon.
Although the 1st to 10th floors were opened by Dojin-e Son, it was originally a space for beginner adventurers who had just started their adventure.

From the 11th floor, where advanced adventurers, who were treated as real adventurers by the adventurer’s guild, came and went, it was still a dangerous area full of blackout.

A hellish space where you don’t know when and where monsters will attack, and the monsters you encounter are terribly powerful and you have to risk your life every time.

But now, Dojin and his party were walking lightly through the space as if it were their own bedroom.

Chow-!

The attacking Lizardman’s skin is peeled off, and he collapses, pouring blood. Before the blood spurted high toward the ceiling fell back to the floor, the Lizardman turned into a magic stone.

Monsters in dungeons leave nothing behind when they die. If blood or flesh touches a weapon or body, it does not disappear, but the blood that spurted out into the ceiling was absorbed into the dungeon and disappeared.

“…… Be careful.”

Seoyoon opened her mouth. Do-jin exclaimed in her heart her, saying that for some reason she takes care of all her worries her.

But the next line she uttered made her heart go cold.

“You almost got blood.”

“…… Oh yeah. Sorry.”

That’s right, that cold-blooded Seoyoon couldn’t worry about others. She, of course, will worry as much as she is a person. If a child who is less than half his body wants to enter the dungeon, I will stop him and worry about him.

However, it is not a sincere worry, but a rational judgment based on logical reasoning.

Even if a child enters the dungeon, nothing can be obtained. Even adults struggle with dungeons. Even with the physical abilities of a child, he couldn’t fight against the goblins on the first floor.

Likewise, since Do-jin can’t get hurt on this floor, Seo-yoon doesn’t worry about her. She thinks that worrying about her is useless.

Dojin took her gaze away from her and asked her her other children.

“What floor are you up to now?”

“Ah, according to the map, Lizardmen come from around the 20th floor!”

“It’s the 20th floor…… Then it’s safe to say that this is the 20th floor, right?”

Dojin said that and looked around her. Even if you swing an oil-flaming torch around, the light cannot travel more than 5 meters.

However, it was possible to judge the topography to some extent. Do-jin finds his location with the terrain he judged, and as he did on the 10th floor, he finds a location where the boss on the 20th floor is likely to be.

“Um…… Here’s where the boss room might be…….”

“…… Don’t have anything? If this map is correct, it is completely filled with no gaps.”

However, unlike the 10th floor where there was an empty space in the middle of the map, there was no such thing on the 20th floor.

As if there is nothing on this layer.

“First…… Shall we break it somewhere?”

“As you please.”

After Dojin said that, he got up and headed towards the stairs going up. Jagoro exits and boss rooms are always near each other.

In front of the stairs going up, Dojin started smashing the surrounding walls at random. On the 10th floor, he it needed Hanyoung’s help.

Now is? Now, Do-jin was able to produce similar destructive power to Han-young.

Of course, Hanyoung’s strength was always maintained, so it wasn’t that Dojin’s strength was better than Hanyeong’s.

Do-jin, who broke the wall, sensed something strange. The walls were unnecessarily strong. As if there is nothing in it.

After breaking the wall for a while, Do-jin gave up on destroying it when he saw that the wall was full unlike the 10th floor.

‘The 10th floor…… Was it unusual?’

How was it on the 10th floor? Dojin recalls what happened on the 10th floor. Find a space on the map where there must be something.

After destroying him, a monster called the Ruler appeared from within. It was a boss monster. He said thanks to us. Thank you, why would you be grateful?

‘No, that’s not what’s important.’

I had to find out what was special about the 10th floor, which only the 10th floor had. What is it? The difference between the 10th and 20th floors.

Monster? It wasn’t. The monsters had different appearances for each floor.
Form of space? Certainly, there was a space on the 17th floor that seemed to have something.
But not neat There was no mathematical connection between 10 and 17.
If something with personality had created the dungeon, he wouldn’t have chosen a not-so-clean way.
Isn’t there something that scientists who have discovered cosmic truth always say?
The universe moves amazingly beautifully.
The fact that the 10th floor is next to the 17th floor is not very beautiful.
Then, why is there no boss monster on the 20th floor?

‘On the 10th floor…… Level up.’

At that time, the fact passed through Dojin’s head like lightning.
Dojin leveled up on the 10th floor.
But on the 20th floor?

‘For a person who has leveled up even once to be treated as a high-level adventurer…….’

It’s because you have to climb a lot of layers until the next level up.
As far as Dojin knew, it was the 30th floor.

‘Like no one leveled up on the 1st floor after hunting all their lives. The 10th, 30th, and 50th floors…… Shouldn’t there be a possibility of leveling up only after passing through this level?’

Then it is understandable that the 20th floor does not have the same ruler as the 10th floor. If Dojin’s prediction was correct, the next ruler was on the 30th floor.

And his intuition his worked pretty well. Always.
