Chapter 116 – The Adventurers of Galarhorn

Why are you calling only me?
I wondered for a moment, but soon Bella told me why she called.

“I heard from the receptionist Wendy that you, who had no special features, awakened as a wizard this summer.”
“Yes? I don’t have any features? I’m an incubus and a tanned blonde guy?”
“I’m not talking about appearance, but ability as an adventurer. Up until now, Luke didn’t have any special talents. But now he’s learned magic and it’s changed. He’s definitely become a wizard, a real aristocrat in the adventurer industry.”
“It’s a bit embarrassing to say you’re not just a noble, but a real noble. So what do you want to say?”

Bella said, pointing her backstage with her thumb.

“Follow me after the promotion ceremony. When a wizard from the guild advances, we will provide you with useful equipment. For example, a magic wand.”
“You mean the magic wand for free?”
“Yes. Our guild does it for free.”

The magic wand is a weapon that enhances the power of wizards.
Aside from the high price, production is so difficult that it is rarely distributed in the private market. It’s possible to get one if you belong to a magic tower or magic association, but it’s difficult for a wandering wizard like me to get a magic wand.

‘It’s honey.’

But to give you a magic wand for free?
Were our guild adventurer welfare this good?
When I was a newbie, I didn’t take care of anything.
Except for Wendy’s personal criticism of me as a newbie.

“It’s nice, but what is it? Why are you only taking care of me?”

At my question, Bella opened her mouth as she let out a heavy sigh.

Whoa.

“Until yesterday, there were only ten wizards in our guild, and half of them were gone.
“Did they all die while doing the quest!”

Did half of the wizards in the guild evaporate in one morning?
Has Thanos also pitched in Joensu?
Or is it that he crossed the Nether Road after being eaten by a monster?
It gave me goosebumps for a moment, but it turned out that it wasn’t such a terrible meaning.

“They didn’t die, they escaped because they were organized as a group! All of them were hired by nobles and are living a luxurious life! Before another defector escapes, we introduced a new system to support mages starting today.”
“That’s right. Thank you for taking care of me.”
“If you’re grateful, Mr. Luke, don’t run away. If you transfer after receiving the support supplies, you’ll resent him for the rest of your life. I’ll cast a curse on three generations of hair loss, including your children.”
“Hee-heek.”

It wasn’t meant as a joke, but there was obsession in Bella’s voice.
Talmorani is the most terrible curse in the world.
There’s no magic potion here, Propecia.

“Wait a minute! I have a question, Mr. Bugilma?”

Kate, overhearing her sudden conversation, raised her hand to her Bella and asked her question.

“Why isn’t there a support system for nuns? Only Mongma-nim takes care of me and I’m empty-handed, so I’m suddenly sad and want to escape? The nun here is open-eyed, so why are we talking to just the two of us?”
“Escape. The nun can’t stop it anyway. She’s a free pass wherever she goes, so it’s up to you.”
“Under-?”

I see Kate making an absurd expression at the answer that came back.

“Let’s see if this is a bugilma! Are you ignoring the nun right now?!”

But you are right.
The nun is always welcomed wherever she goes, but she doesn’t have a big impact when you give her something like a gift. Rather, it might be better to be cold to snatch a nun like Kate.

‘You guys are the first in the guild to treat her nuns like trash!’

I’d say it’s the same operation.
In fact, the operation worked well for Kate.

“Wow!! It’s absurd!! You’re the first adventurers guild employee to treat me like this!! It’s so absurd that I’m rather interested!!”
“If she’s interested in Kate, that’s enough. To be honest, if it were another nun, she’d be flattered, but it’s Kate.”
“What is it?”

As Bella winked her eyes, Kate grabbed the back of her neck as if her backbone was pulling.
Kate didn’t ask or argue with her Bella, as if she didn’t want to talk to her anymore.

“I explained the newly introduced support system. Now, let’s start the silver tier promotion ceremony. If you hand over the silver plaque, it’s cool, so let’s start by listening to the orchestra play.”

Widely!
It was the moment Bella snapped her fingers.
The red curtains on the stage opened, revealing musicians with instruments behind them. I was surprised as well as other adventurers.

“What are all these people up to!”
“Shock! Musical instrument suckers!”

I didn’t know there would be musicians behind the curtain.

“You’ve been hiding behind a curtain all this time!”
“It’s an orchestra hired by the guild. It’s contracted to come and play whenever there’s an important event like a promotion ceremony. Everyone, we’ve been waiting here since this morning for the promotion ceremony.”

Bella turned her head and gave instructions to her musicians.

“Start playing!”

Bam bam bba baba bam.
The band’s performance lasted about 10 minutes.
After the performance, Bella came down from the stage and handed us the silver plaque herself. After that, her promotion ceremony ended with Bella giving a short greeting.

“It’s okay to go back. Silver tier adventurers. Congratulations on escaping from the depths.”

After the promotion ceremony, there is no reason to stay in the annex any longer.
Ally and Brute left the Adventurer’s Guild to say goodbye to us.
Of course, Kate decided to stay to wait for me.

“Come out as soon as you get everything you want, Dreamcatcher! Don’t hang out with that foxy girl for nothing! Okay?”

Kate glanced at her Bella and she ran out of the annex.

Hodadadadadadadadak!!

He seems to be waiting at the entrance of the Adventurer’s Guild until I come out.
As an adventurer left alone, I followed Bella to the backstage.

At the back of the stage, there was a staircase leading to the upper floor of the annex, and Bella, who took me to the upper floor, crossed the bridge and moved to the guild’s main office.
The main building of the guild and the annex are connected by a long overpass. After silently walking along with Bella, I arrived at the office at the top of the headquarters before I knew it.

– Vice guildmaster office.

Where Bella normally does her business.
This room can be called the Galarhorn’s control tower.
When I opened the door and went inside, a panoramic view of the lavishly decorated office came into view at a glance.
Fur carpets on the floor, countless decorations on the shelves, and Bella’s desk in solid mahogany.
Behind the desk, a sculpture of a giant horn about 1M in length was hanging from the wall.

“Sit comfortably. My assistant will be bringing supplies for you.”

As Bella instructed, she sat down at the guest table in the office and waited until a young female secretary entered the room.

“Miss Bella. Here I brought support items for promotion of the wizard belonging to the guild.”
“Put it on the table here, Hannah.”

Hannah, the female secretary, bowed slightly to greet me, and then she set the equipment she had brought on the table. To be honest, I was a bit surprised when I saw it as a ‘support product’.

A total of three wizard wands.
A set of fancy robes and pointy-nosed sorcerer’s boots.

‘Wow. Bella’s boss is nice.’

All of them are expensive equipment worth dozens of silver coins.
Giving away all of this for free, is it a major bleeding service before the store goes bankrupt?

“Are you giving me all the equipment here?”
“Not all of them are given. You can only pick one out of three wizard wands.”
“Still, it’s amazing. A staff, robe, and boots with pointed noses. If you go out with just these, you’ll be a wizard wherever you go. You can dress up as a wizard.”
“It’s like that. No, wait. It’s not a costume play. You’re a real wizard, aren’t you?”

I shook my head at Bella, who was taken aback by the word costume, and said again.

“If you ask your girlfriend to wear it, it’s a costume play.”
“Ah, did you mean that? It must be nice to have a girlfriend.
“No.”

I have two girlfriends, so I don’t know which one to wear.
I think it would suit the more colorful Rebecca more.
If you put a robe on top of your girlfriend’s naked body, you’d look fucking ugly.

“Now we have to choose a wizard wand? Which one is the most expensive?”
“Mr. Luke doesn’t choose the wand. The wand chooses you.”

Well?
The moment I was about to choose a wand, I stopped at Bella’s sudden words.

‘What Russian way of speaking?’

What does it mean that the cane chooses me?
However, after listening to the explanation that followed after a while, it was a convincing expression. The world of wizards was much more mysterious than I knew.

“Hannah, my secretary, actually studied at the Mage Tower as a student. Even after graduating, she’s a third-rate wizard because she lacks talent, but she’s sharp in theory.”
“Yes? Bella’s secretary is a magician from the Mage Tower?”

Hearing her words, I looked at Hannah, the female secretary, who was silently guarding her seat.
There’s no way someone who’s good at cheating can’t fool me.
If it’s a magician’s secretary, she’s acting like an elite.
Hanna opened her mouth as I nodded her head as if Bella was right as her eyes met hers.

“Incubus Adventurer. As the lady said, I am a mage from the Mage Tower. Although I am a third-rate mage, I was always top in the theoretical exams when I was a student. Adventurer-sama, a wandering mage, may not be familiar with it. Wizard wands choose their masters at will. .Each wand has its own preferred type of mage.”
“No, what does a cane cover a person? Isn’t it the end if I hold it in my hand?”

It was at that moment that I grabbed one of the wizard’s wands that had been spread out on the table. At that very moment, I felt a thrilling shock as if an electric current was flowing through my body.

Pajijijijik!!

“Ouch!”

I was surprised by the tremendous shock that shook my body.
It feels as thrilling as when I tried to stick my chopsticks into the outlet hole on Earth. I played a penalty game with my friends after drinking and almost lost it, but I remember that time.

“Muggya.”
“I’m sorry I had to tell you in advance. If you choose a wand that doesn’t match well, you’ll get a rejection reaction. Take your hand off and look at the wands again. They’re all different in shape. Each wand has a different owner’s preference. Order They are called wands, staffs, and horns.”

I managed to release my hand and examine the wizard wands on the table. So far, I haven’t paid much attention to it, but in fact, each wand is distinctly different.

The first is the Wand.
It’s literally a short stick, the one I just grabbed and electrocuted.

The second is the staff.
It is a stick long enough to walk on the ground.

The third is the Horn.
It is a cane carved out of wood into the shape of a beast’s horn.

Hanna told me which type of wizard each of the three wands favored.

“The more wizards learn magic, the more they grow into a type that suits their aptitude. In the Mage Tower, this type is called a ‘class’. It is usually divided into wizard class, summoner class, and shaman class. A more detailed description of each class is given. Let me give you…”

Hannah’s explanation is roughly like this.
The wizard class does not have a specialized field, but is a wizard who knows how to do anything vaguely, and uses a wand as a dedicated weapon.
The Summoner class is wizards who specialize in summoning summoned creatures like spirits, and use a staff as their exclusive weapon.
The shaman class is wizards who specialize in necromancy to summon the dead, and use horns as their exclusive weapon.
The moment I heard all the explanations, I couldn’t help but think of this.

‘Now I can find out what class I’m suitable for.’

Since the wand was initially rejected, the wizard was eliminated.
All that’s left is Summoner and Shaman. Either use the spirit as a pawn or use the dead as a pawn.
But somehow I don’t like either of them.

It’s a bit like a teenager.
It’s cowardly to say that hitting Dagulppang with a minion is your main skill.
Even when playing RPG games on Earth, summoner users were a bit like that. It was so fucking nasty to call summons and jump around during PK.

‘Still, they say it’s free, but I have to choose one.’

I plan to touch the staff first. If the staff excites me, the only thing left is the horn used by the shaman class.

Swoop.
It was the moment I stretched out my hand toward the long staff.
Suddenly, Bella, who was sitting at her desk in her office, suddenly opened her mouth.
Mysterious purple eyes were staring at me.

“You honestly don’t like it? Both.”
“Yes?”
