Level Up

The group takes the biggest room in the inn.

The currency here was also gold. Hyun-seok spent his money generously. In the real world, there was still a steady accumulation of gold, so I didn't need to save money.

Meanwhile, the reason why Hyun-seok collected gold so hard was to use it when this was the case.

Hyun-Seok had a similar adventure before regression. I needed more gold back then than I do now.

At that time, Hyundai Whitehall was in a Queen-class dungeon building area in South Korea.

There, I was able to obtain a really significant amount of artifacts, which required gold.

But when I think about it, I don't have to anymore.

It was a great artifact before the regression, but not necessarily now.

If you ask me if it's worth giving away so much gold, I'll shake my head.

Hyundai is now the owner of the Horse Tower.

In fact, if you can understand more about magic here and study magic, you can make artifacts on your own.

Rather, such artifacts may outperform Korean Whitehall's paid artifacts.

‘No, maybe we can get better artifacts from there now that we're on a different level. ’

You have to see it all for yourself. Things are too different now from before the regression.

Hyun-seok remained alone in the inn and sat in the middle of the room.

The rest of the party head out, claiming to gather any information.

They didn't even make him do it, but they moved on their own.

The group has considerable interest and curiosity in the world in the dungeon.

They make sure they know everything there is to know about Medina Toons.

Hyundai focuses on identifying the magical power that flows through Medina toons as they gather information like that.

Sitting in the middle of the room, Hyun-seok closed his eyes and used his whole body's senses to gradually understand the magic that was tightening the surroundings.

It was difficult to understand that magic itself was created by a strange twist of magic.

But no matter what, magic was magic. Hyun-seok figured out his magic and dug into the source.

"Amazing."

A tidal flow of magical power was in fact regularly organized.

And the magic itself was being produced here in Medina Toon.

A whole new enchantment, not a giant enchantment making up Medina toons, is spreading widely beneath it.

An enormous sorceress, unknowingly twisting its magic to create magic.

And that transformed magic spread throughout the forest here.

That was the identity of the magic that spread through the world.

‘I still can't see the end. ’

I've identified the sorcerer, but I can't analyze the sorcerer itself. It was too big.

But it was clear that the center of the sorcery faction was right here in Medinatun.

And the source of the magic that powers the giant magic group that makes up this Medina toon was that giant magic group.

It was the way Medina Toon used some of the magic created by that giant enchantment.

‘So…… there used to be a giant magical structure down here, and someone built Medina Toon to use it. ’

You draw only a tiny fraction of your magic, but you are still perfectly able to defend Medina Toon.

Then how much magic can be produced?

Hyundai expanded his senses a little more. I wanted to know more accurately the magic group that produces magic.

‘It's so big. ’

No matter how much I expanded my senses, I couldn't confirm the end of the sorcerer. A massive enchantment lies beneath it.

Moreover, the farther away from Medina toon, the presence of the sorcerer is blurred.

Perhaps this place was exposed to the existence of the sorcerer because of Medinatun, which was originally a very subtle form.

‘The analysis itself isn't working. ’

Even though only a part of it was revealed, it was enough to see how great and complex the magic circle was.

The stone became more focused and began to analyze the magical power flowing through the enchantment.

I didn't expect much from analyzing the magic team in the first place. Hyundai is the Master of Magical Power. Therefore, it was much more likely to analyze the power itself.

How long have I been so focused? The flow of magical power begins to settle in my mind.

Of course, the analysis itself was not easy because it was such a huge magical group and the flow of magical power also changed quite rapidly and complexly.

But I was able to find out some important information.

‘This sorcery created by the sorcerer is being sent down, not up in the first place. ’

It was originally a sorcerer built to go further down.

It meant that there was something beneath the enchanted camp that required this immense magical power.

The magic that spread through the world was kept only by the crumbs that remained.

What could possibly require so much magic? I was really curious about what would be there.

When you get to the bottom of it, the group leaves and starts arriving one by one.

Now it was easy for everyone to get light information while traveling around well with the Empire language.

The stone rose from its place. It was time to eat.

* * *

“Don't be surprised. There's a king here. ”

“King? Really? I didn't hear that! ”

“If there was such a thing, you wouldn't have missed it when you stopped by the other tribes. ”

Ryan looks around at the surprise party and smiles.

“Of course. Not right now.”

“Yes?”

“What's that? ”

“You're about to elect a king. ”

Everyone shuts up and looks at Ryan. When I think about the information I obtained while wandering around this place, it was not unlikely at all.

“Well... there are nobles. ”

“Medina toons are a bit different from other tribes, though. ”

It was somewhat similar to the city on the Whitehall side of last time.

It felt like one of those cities had grown enormously. The shape of the building was also strangely similar.

“The nobles have gathered and elected a king this time. ”

Ryu Ji-hye tilted her head in Ryan's words.

“Then why the sudden election of a king? I've been doing this for a long time. ”

The group recognizes that Medina Toon has been around since ancient times and is still maintaining this system.

There is a reason why we suddenly change the system that has been kept for so long.

“I'm not sure... but it looks like Medina Toon is preparing for war. ”

“War?”

“You've accumulated too much power. We're looking for a hole to eject this. ”

“Is that war? ”

“It's the simplest and most obvious way. ”

Ryan's words were certainly persuasive. It was quite possible.

Ryu Ji-hye turned to Ryan and stared at him alternately, thinking for a moment and suddenly came to her mind.

“Then why is there no king in a city like Croccilia? Come to think of it, each city had a king or a family, right? ”

“Definitely……. ”

Obviously, that was a little weird. In fact, I thought it was just because it was the size of the city, but no matter how small the city was, it was nothing strange to call each city a country.

Then it was perfectly natural for a king to appear. But there was no king in all those cities.

There are a lot of nobles around here.

The same is true of their nobility. A man with a title greater than the Marquis takes on the title of family for generations to come.

The post of the Earl and the Duke was often granted by the erl or the duc, but the noble seal itself was limited in the beginning, so it was not possible to leave the post.

‘It's like a seal. You can make a new one. ’

The seal contains a very complex and sophisticated enchantment. So I couldn't let it go to waste.

But it's magic. It didn't make any sense that you couldn't make a seal while you were at the Horse Tower.

‘Cause I know about seals. ’

Hyundai became the owner of the Horse Tower. He gained knowledge of the magic engraved on the seal very naturally.

After all, you can make a king any way you want.

Nevertheless, not one of the many cities that were there was no king.

However, if there was no desire for a king at all, it was also not that.

“The nobles there...... seem to believe they cannot take the king's place without unifying all the cities. ”

I tilted my head at the words of the stone. It didn't make any sense, but it was oddly convincing.

They clearly felt that way at the time.

“I trust Earl Xenon is doing well? ”

Hyun-seok nods. Probably doing well enough.

“We should be done integrating the nearby cities by now. ”

Hyun-Seok told Earl Xenon to clear out the surrounding cities by handing the horseshoe to Inferno and Inferno to fill the power of fire.

At that time, all of the cities that were trying to eat Croccilia would have come down to Croccilia.

Most of the nobles who ruled those cities must have been cleaned up.

‘I have to go there too. ’

But when I went there this time, I had no intention of going through the old Whitehall.

I was going to find Whitehall and connect the two worlds.

I don't know how long it will take. But it won't take long.

“Wouldn't it be a big deal if a king was elected and started a war? ”

Ryu Hye-yeon, who had only heard so far, stepped up and asked. She calmly said as she focused her gaze on herself.

“You mean the tribes that have helped us in the past are at war. Shouldn't we at least inform them? ”

“That's all I know, right? We only got the information in one day. ”

Looking back at each tribe, they were quite interested in Medina toons.

Perhaps Medina will recognize it sooner than anyone else if she prepares for war.

“But just in case. ”

Everyone smiled and nodded at Ryu Hye-yeon's words.

“But how can I tell you? I can't go back. ”

Ryan looks at the stone as he says. I thought there might be a way to do it.

Hyun-seok stood up.

“You don't have to tell the tribe yourself. ”

Everyone stared at the stare. What are we going to do if we don't tell the tribe?

“Not all nobles favor war. ”

Ryu Ji-hye sparkled.

“Does this mean that the nobles who oppose the war will gather the people of each tribe? ”

Hyun-seok nods.

“You think too easily, don't you? How can you be sure of that? ”

Ryan tilts his head slightly skeptically, and Hyun-seok replies.

“I don't know if there are any nobles who oppose the war, but I'm sure there are people from each tribe gathered around someone. ”

“How do you know that? ”

“I checked.”

Hyun-Seok left that word and went out.

Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at the back of such a stone, and quickly came to their senses.

“You checked? When? ”

“Haven't you been in your room the whole time? ”

“I did. I even checked with the waitresses when I came in. He never left the room. ”

“Well, when did you find out? ”

There was no time for common sense. unless you knew it from the beginning.

“Maybe you knew all along? ”

“From the beginning? How? It's the same thing that first came into Whitehall. ”

“Or... when you stopped by each tribe. ”

It was a bit credible. Definitely likely But if they did, they should know a little bit about it.

I've hardly ever moved apart from the stone.

“I don't understand. ”

Everyone leaves the room shaking their heads. I could see the back of the stone that was passing by the end of the hall far away.

Everyone hurried to take a step.

End with Groundwater
