Chapter 359
371. A week has passed since Kang Seung-hyun, the greatest temporary master
of all time, became the temporary master of the Golden Mage Tower.
To sum up what has happened,
“Doradel. Since it’s your last day at the Magic Tower, we’ll specially arrange for you to sleep in the master room.”
“Gee uh uh uh…”
“Ah, I accidentally broke the things here, but it doesn’t really matter, does it? You’re going to jail anyway.”
“Geuuuuuuuu!”
Doradel was taken to the Magic Association and imprisoned in a dungeon as various crimes such as magical embezzlement, illegal research experiments, and aiding in the leakage of dark magic were revealed.
Originally, he deserved the death penalty, but because he lost all his magic power and his whole body became as dry as a mummy, so he couldn’t even lift a finger.
‘It would be more merciful to cut off their breath, but that’s why it’s more appropriate to let them continue their lives.’
‘I agree.’
‘I also agree.’
‘I can’t stand it because it’s interesting to see what happens to a person full of magic power that turns into such a waste of 0 magic power.’
Under the strict supervision of the Magic Association, he will continue to live a painful life until the end of his remaining lifespan.
‘The Magic Association declares.’
‘I order the former master of the Golden Mage Tower, Doradel Lofiarmus, to be disqualified from being a wizard and be imprisoned for 24 hours indefinitely.’
There could be no punishment more appropriate for a wizard who extended his own lifespan by taking the lives of others.
“Everyone from the Lophemus family. Until now, the value of the lost magical power was calculated by your research data and patent rights, but even if there were unavoidable circumstances, wouldn’t it be okay to just ignore the ‘stealing’ of the Magic Tower’s magical power for hundreds of years?”
“…”
“So, with the authority of the Golden Mage Tower Master.”
The members of Lofiarmus, including the Boomaster, did not commit as many crimes as Doradell, so they were not taken to the Magic Association.
“I will impose a penalty on the Lophemus family. Any objection?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“I agree.”
However, the family itself was severely punished because they could not just ignore what they had done.
“As of this time, all those from Lophemus are expelled and are permanently banned from joining the Golden Mage Tower.”
Kang Seung-hyeon declared that he would completely erase the surname Lophiermus from the Golden Mage Tower.
“Of course, the Golden Mage Tower is the representative mage tower of the East, and anyone with talent is accepted.”
The Mage Tower is a group that prioritizes talent.
It is unacceptable for a talented wizard to be rejected because his family has committed a crime.
“So, if those from Lophemus want to set foot in the Golden Mage Tower, I order them to drop their surname and rejoin.”
In other words, even if you are from Lophemus, if you sever your family, you will be allowed to enter the Mage Tower if you abandon your family name.
‘Considering what has been done to the Golden Mage Tower, a permanent ban would not be enough, but the Golden Mage Tower is currently understaffed.’
Eliminate the name of Lophemus in the Mage Tower so that it can be used whenever it is needed, but it cannot be used like before.
“I will follow Master’s orders.”
“I agree.”
There was no big objection to Kang Seung-hyun’s opinion.
It’s a story that has nothing to do with the general members anyway, and it’s impossible for the Lofiarmus family to move to another mage tower because rumors about this incident spread widely.
In addition, the submasters and executives received severe karma liquidation and could not even move properly, let alone use magic, so they could not even take the entrance exam for the Mage Tower in the first place.
It is said to be better than Doradel, but the only options left to them are farming or recuperation in the countryside.
“They are really, really screwed up.”
“Then you should have lived a good life.”
Kim Ho-jeong, who watched it all the time, evaluated it as self-employed from beginning to end.
-“Then, since we also dealt with the lophimus case…”
Kang Seung-hyeon said while organizing the documents.
“In my heart, I want to keep taking the Master’s position, but I think it’s only right to step down at this point.”
The hearts of the Mage Tower wizards who heard that were complicated.
Clearly, Kang Seung-hyun did his best as a master, such as covering the insufficient restoration costs with various research materials and patent rights stolen from Lophemus, investigating the case, and presenting a solution to the clean-up problem.
If Kang Seung-hyun hadn’t become the temporary master, nothing would have been properly resolved even a week later.
“Leave the magic center problem to I Shuire Perna, a genius among geniuses born in the Crimson Mage Tower.”
“Shuire, you are still the same.”
“Kim Ho-jung, people don’t change easily.”
Not only that, but he invited people from the Crimson Mage Tower to carry out the grand construction of the center of mana, and even repaired everything without having to consume his personal mana like before.
The best master who is truly like a benefactor to the wizards of the Golden Mage Tower.
‘Thank you so much, I’m really grateful…’
‘I feel like I should ask for more…’
Nevertheless, the reason why I can’t bear to ask for the Master’s job is,
“I don’t think there will be a problem with the construction of the commissioned office, and the Magic Association Hind I sent a generous amount of support to the branch… Should I invest in Bismar Island as well? Do you have any more money to spend?”
“Build a Mr. Alec detective agency.”
“I have a lot of money, but I have nowhere to spend it.”
“Build a Mr. Alec detective agency!”
It was because, as much as he worked hard, he robbed the safe of the Golden Mage Tower as well.
“Then I’ll roll the last dice.”
“yeah!”
“It’s too bad that this is the last one.”
Degururr.
Now, with the Hind Village map spread out, he enjoys decorating the village with the money of the Golden Mage Tower.
“Ah, there is something I wanted to do when I had money and power.”
“What?”
“Something like buying all the land near the Adventurer’s Guild and using it as a slaughterhouse, or setting up a guardhouse and getting a toll every time someone passes by. Or making the whole area around it into a lake and making them swim to the adventurer’s guild. Or build a high wall and make it a rock climbing course.”
“Let’s put that aside. Adventurers will cry…”
Kim Ho-jung desperately stopped Kang Seung-hyeon.
That’s why I don’t know if I want to bully Liwen or the adventurer.
“Then, let’s buy some land and sell a reservoir. Hind Village is inconvenient because the water source is too far away.”
“Good, good. The villagers will be delighted.”
“But aren’t they going bankrupt like this? Are you really going to become a gold-plated mage tower?”
“are you okay. If anything, you can jump with the jet-black magic tower.”
“When I looked around, the submasters had quite a bit of slush funds. Just put it back.”
The most important thing is to do this openly in front of the wizards.
‘I’ll make up for it again as much as the money I took away…
‘
Because of this, the wizards were looking at the temporary master Kang Seung-hyeon with mixed feelings.
“Anyway, we’re going to hold a formal master vote soon, what do you think?”
“But is there a suitable candidate?”
Originally, the formal election was to select a master from among the submasters, but the submaster annihilation and the submaster candidate were also annihilated.
“First of all, I have to choose the submaster. Since there were 5 submasters in the past… 3 would be enough, right?”
“Then, how is the vice-master decided?”
“Is this a recommended meal?”
“All members of the Golden Mage Tower are eligible to participate. Even if you have been expelled or quit from the Mage Tower, if you have been unfairly expelled by Lofiarmus or have quit for related reasons, I will give you qualifications and permission.”
It’s not actually lacking in skills, but it’s because there are quite a few wizards who quit the Mage Tower because they were fed up with the tyranny of Lophemus.
‘Of course, dimension movers are an exception. If you guys want to break the achievement, do it in 5 years.’
Currently, there are 0 dimension movers belonging to the Golden Mage Tower.
It was there in the past, but everyone gave up and moved because of Lophemus, so if even one dimension mover comes, he will become a master right away.
“But even if you are a candidate for vice-master, can you accept it so broadly?”
“Then can I participate too?”
“Isn’t this a crowd of hundreds or thousands of people?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll filter it out with my skills anyway.”
“yes? Are you filtering it out?”
Seunghyun Kang replied with a calm smile.
“As the selection of the Master is a very important matter that determines the future of the Mage Tower, I want to put aside everything else and select the best candidate based only on my skills.”
Everyone seems to have forgotten about it for a while, but
“How…?”
“Is there anything complicated to think about?”
“….”
“All you have to do is collect them somewhere and fight until there are only 3 left.”
“…”
“Ah, if you don’t die instantly, I can save you, so you don’t have to worry about it. Killing a person would immediately disqualify the Master, so who would do such a crazy thing.”
Kang Seung-hyeon was a human who made the mage tower a living hell for a week in order to select the next master of the golden mage tower.
“Of course, if this is the case, there will be idiots who cannot demonstrate their skills, saying that they are seniors and juniors, friends and family, right?”
right!
With those words, let Kang Seung-hyun signal.
“Things go!”
“Magical Disguise Tool Set!”
Lee Ji-ah’s came into the room with a mask, a cloak, a doll mask, and a bunch of other items that cause illusion magic.
“If you use these items, you will be able to completely hide your identity from each other. It means you can take out opponents without fear of retaliation.”
“…”
“If you are one of the 3 candidates who survived after defeating so many contestants, wouldn’t you be qualified to become the Golden Mage Tower Master?”
Thus, the 1st Golden Mage Tower Mask Master King Tournament began.
