Chapter 527 – 42. Dezac Empire – General Escalor Destrov (10)

Escalor, who found the Mage Tower, went straight to the Mage Tower Master.

The general and the mage lord.

Escalor Destrop and Natalie Ulrich.

They are symbols of the two powers that support the Dezac Empire, but the two have had little friendship.

Even the enemies I encountered could be counted on my hands.

It was because both of them did not enjoy parties and banquets due to their narrow social network.

“This is it.”

“I see. The way the magic circle works is something different.”

Natalie’s eyes widened at Escalor’s words.

“Do you see that?”

“Just by looking at it, the flow of mana is different.”

“…”

Natalie was at a loss for words at the appearance of the general who casually said a lot.

Rumors of Escalor’s absurd brute force had often been heard.

Still, I hadn’t seen him wield the power, so I didn’t care, but this was more than a rumor.

“…Yes, well. That’s right. Perhaps the previous owner of the Mage Tower… Haa, it seems that person touched it secretly.”

Natalie, who couldn’t bear to be referred to as Master or Him.

She herself doesn’t have much loyalty to the emperor, but she doesn’t know how the general is.

How much more, did not Escalor lead a part of the Imperial Guard along with the Imperial Intelligence Agency?

The atmosphere of the Mage Tower is already turbulent, but there is nothing good about being caught.

“Is this underground?”

You should have seen it in the report, but the general looked around and asked.

Natalie felt very bad, as if it were trying to induce her to slip.

The secret laboratory here in the basement was really unknown even to her.

I never thought I would build something like this in the basement of the Mage Tower and make it move in a special way by touching the magic circle used to move between floors. Considering the level of difficulty, the fact that he would not be able to even try it unless he was Robert, the previous Mage Tower lord made the disciple’s heart ache.

“…Yes. When confirmed by magic, it was lower than the original lowest floor, the 4th floor. It was roughly 6 floors below the ground.”

“To make something like this secretly. It’s amazing.”

“Whoa. That’s right. This place is kept secret even from the disciples and the elders… I was really surprised when there was something about this place in the documents found.”

“It’s too bad.”

“…”

Escalor passed by the silent Natalie.

As for her, she was just brewing magic tower wine at the request of the intelligence department, and she has no personal feelings.

It is because the status of the owner of the magic tower is burdensome even in the Imperial Family Information Department unless it is at the level of a section chief.

“Hmm.”

After taking a look around the secret laboratory, the general thought.

‘I don’t know.’

Even if she has talents such as seeing the flow of mana, she is either a warrior or a knight after all.

I don’t know anything about magic.

However, when she stood in front of them for no reason, the Ministry of Intelligence and the Royal Guard stood motionless.

Eventually, after a while, Escalor looked back with a sigh.

“What are you doing? I’m not investigating.”

“Ah. I see.”

“Excuse me!”

Those who were nervous from behind stepped forward, and the general shook his head and stepped back.

In the end, only Escalor and Natalie were left behind.

Natalie wanted to go back as soon as possible, but the way to operate the magic tower was so complicated that it was only possible for a wizard of elder level or higher. On top of that, he was worried that the secret laboratory might harm the Mage Tower.

Because of this, he voluntarily came down with them, and was watching the room with a hawk’s eye.

‘I don’t think there’s anything dangerous… Whoa.’

But you can’t be careless.

A situation where the master has already beaten the back of the head.

It doesn’t matter what comes out here.

“Lord of the Magic Tower.”

“…”

“Lord of the Magic Tower?”

“…Ah, yes. General Escalor. What is it?”

“What kind of person was the previous owner of the Mage Tower?”

Flinch.

“…”

Natalie’s eyebrows twisted at the sudden question.

From her point of view, it seemed as if the general was again trying to induce him to make a mistake, or ask a question for the purpose of provocation. Of course, Escalor’s expression was not easy to read, which made it even more suspicious.

“What… Do you mean?”

“Ah, it’s nothing special. I just thought about how strong he would be if he were alive.”

Natalie got goose bumps at the sight of Escalor smirking.

It was a word that I could feel sincere even if I didn’t look closely.

Fighting spirit. Ex. Hwang Seung-shim.

The general felt those things.

‘It seems that the rumors about strength, and the rumors about combat fanatics have been reduced…’

Neither is more than a rumor.

Where the hell did this monstrous woman come from?

I heard that you are not very old, but I did not understand it at all.

“Lord of the Magic Tower?”

“…Master, that person is not very strong.”

“Yes?”

“Even though the squadron received the title of Grand Mage, his strength is in research and production rather than combat. Just like the Chimera monsters that appeared this time.

‘At least I’ll be weaker than you.’

Natalie finished her sentence, swallowing her assessment of the general.

It was not a concern for the safety of the master, but a cold evaluation.

Robert’s magic talent is specialized in other aspects than combat.

Everyone in the Magic Tower knows it, so there’s no such thing as a secret.

“Is that so? That’s a bit disappointing.”

Escalor licked his lips at Natalie’s sincere words.

Still, I was happy that there seemed to be a great human being called the Great Mage as an enemy, but the opinion was less than I thought. I don’t think Natalie, my pupil, would have judged her underestimated, so it seemed unreasonable to expect more than that.

“But, I wonder if we can make a stronger Chimera.”

“Hmm. You mean Chimera. As long as it’s not quite strong… Wouldn’t it be weaker than you?”

“…And that too.”

A very understandable statement.

Natalie had never personally fought a Chimera monster, but its strength was roughly expected.

A few moderately large spells would annihilate them in no time.

It would be difficult if the unit exceeded a thousand, but it was not a task for a Master who had passed a certain level.

Then, all of a sudden, I had a question.

“But don’t you ask about me?”

“Hmm? What do you mean by that?”

“I think you like fighting.”

“Ah, of course I’m curious. I’m so curious that I want to punch him right now.”

“…”

“But if you fight with your allies, you’ll get scolded. It’s a pity, but I have to be patient.”

“Okay.”

“But, well, if there’s an opponent I want to fight with so much that I can’t stand it…

Natalie nodded his head.

But on the inside, I was pessimistic.

She didn’t try to improve herself, but she still believed that she would be able to count on her hands on the continent. It’s probably the most likely one of them, though. Even so, she says she can put up with herself.

‘Does she have to be a dragon or a demon lord to stimulate this woman? Hmm, both sides are difficult.’

Eleniak, currently known as the only dragon, hasn’t come out of the United Republic for a long time.

The Demon King is also only embedded in the Demonic Spirit, so it is impossible unless you go to the Demon Castle.

So there will be no reason for the general to run amok.

Natalie thought that she had just been thinking about it.

Kwaaaaang!!

“Mi-crazy…?!”

Natalie was horrified.

Not to mention that this crazy woman suddenly ran out.

“Ahahahaha!! Yes, I found it!! My true nemesis!!”

“Fuck, what are you saying all of a sudden!”

Including that the opponent was Valdes, who had just come out of the Mage Tower.

Quadduk.

“You’re the first to stop my attack, boy!!”

“It’s crazy and it’s crazy!”

Everything, even Valdez’s response to the surprise.

Even more so, she, the current Mage Tower owner and Grand Mage, felt that way, but what about the other witnesses?

Only three people on the scene had other ideas.

‘Fucked… Can this be fixed… ?’

The direct secretary to the general who assists Escalor.

‘I can tell! I don’t feel much power, but it’s this guy! This boy is my soul’s nemesis!’

The person who caused the big accident, General Escalor.

‘Damn it, I’m in big trouble!’

And another party, Valdez, who was unintentionally caught up in an accident.

Valdez in particular was about to turn inside out.

While dealing with Adele close to 10 times, he was leaving in a happy mood.

I even found Natalie outside the entrance of the Mage Tower by chance and raised her hand to greet her happily.

But before she could greet her, her mad bitch suddenly ran in and attacked her.

That’s an insane level of blows.

‘Damn it…’

Valdez felt his arm tingle with pain for the first time in a while.

There are two reasons.

The first was to use some of the sealed power in a hurry.

The second was that he hesitated momentarily, worrying about the future.

How could he have imagined that General Escalor would be a mad bitch who would suddenly run in and brandish his fists. He was worried about the Dejak Empire and never dreamed that sealing the power so deeply would lead to a mistake.

‘This will last a long time…’

Things are really bad.

I should have blocked the attack properly, or I should have been completely defeated, but neither was it.

Now he is questioned about his hidden skills and has to heal his injuries.

The degree of injury is low, but how to make these vague wounds difficult to treat and annoying.

“Ahahahahaha!!”

In the midst of such a complicated state of mind, Valdez felt a twist in his stomach when he saw the cheerful laughing general in front of him.

‘Should I just kill him?’

She sincerely wants to kill her without thinking about her future.

Fortunately, it was only able to erode inside and stop.

-KRYYYYYYY-!!!!

“…?”

“What is this again…”

Not only was it tall, but its width was also considerable.

It was thanks to the appearance of a being that covered them all with shadows.

– Hmm. I was worried because it’s been a long time since I’ve been outside, but it seems I’ve come to the right place.

“…Dragon… Dragon over the islands…”

“Woah, Chairman of the United Republic…”

“Green dragon Eleniak…?”

The girl who caught everyone’s attention at once was none other than the green dragon Eleniac.
