Lord of the Skill

Sunrise Festival

Huff.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

As the giant door of the ivory tower opens, the feeble man walks into it.

The inside of the tower was more than I could have imagined.

Instead of a torch, the cobblestone lights were illuminating around the spiral staircase leading up to the top of the tower, and the tower was warm like spring, even though you couldn't see a fireplace.

“Expensive stuff. ”

Heatless looks at each of the polish decorated on the steps of the tower and says,

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

There is a huge pool of blue light gushing down the spiral staircase.

Surprisingly, as opposed to the water falling from the cloud-like ornament symbolic of the Sunrise Festival, the water rising like a fountain meets the dripping droplets from above and into the pool.

“ ……. ”

The fever slowly approaches.

And then I tried to put my hand between the two streams of water.

“You'd better be careful. If you take your hand to the Magic Well and do something wrong, your magic will be taken away. ”

You hear a thick man's voice.

Despite his warnings, however, the feeble man hurls his hand into the well unharmed.

Wooooo...

A small tremor caused a gradual ripple, and the stream of water that was pouring down both sides hardened as if it were frozen.

“Huh……. ”

Seeing the scene, the man on the spiral staircase shouted a small elasticity without his knowledge.

“Stealing magic means this. ”

The water in the blue light suddenly became transparent. At the same time, a blue sphere was formed in the palm of the heatless hand that emitted a full light.

“Magic Extraction……. I never thought I'd actually see magic disappear. So it's true that Trammel's lord has become the master of the Antihum. ”

The man comes down the stairs and greets the heatless.

Like the snow of the Frostplateau, the chest of a white robe was painted with a cloud pattern.

“It's you. Lord of the ivory tower and head of the Sunrise Society. ”

A man with thick gray eyebrows looked older than middle-aged because of his unique hair color, but if you look closely, smooth skin and glossy lips were evidence that he was young.

Heatless said, gazing at the sharp sword on the waist that does not match the white robe of the wizard's profession.

“Artie Karesh. ”

The man looked at the fever that called out his name precisely.

“Is that knowledge from the Antihum, too? My name wouldn't have been known on the outside. ”

“Well, are you curious? ”

“Phew... I knew he was a quick man, so he wants to make a deal." ”

Artis said with a look of not losing to fever.

“I'm not like you. ”

“Really?"

The Sunrise Festival gathers to leave the fast track and pursue only magic. That's why the wizard who belonged here was so proud of himself.

Those who stand at its peak do not need to explain.

But...

Heat free asked as if to ridicule Artis Karesh's stubborn attitude.

“Even if it involves your life? ”

“ ……. ”

In one word, the charter was reversed at once.

Although still maintaining its focus, fever found Artis to be in a state of confusion.

“I can clearly see the magic shifting. You must have learned that the most important thing for a wizard is serenity. Isn't that right?”

After attacking the Antihum and becoming the owner of the library, the feeble sense of magical power has become stronger.

Although I missed the mastery of putting my name on the memorial stone, I was more proficient than anyone else in my magic skills thanks to my time invested in the three enchantments.

as well as the last magic he learned.

Superior eyes.

At the same time as he learned the magic, his sense of magical power rose in an elixir.

Artie snorts at the words of fever and pretends not to mind.

“My life. You joke too much.”

“Well, are you curious? ”

Same question.

Even though he said one torch correctly, Artie could no longer ignore the feeble words.

“A man named Dane Petinson would have been there. Maybe he's registered as the Wizard of the Sunrise Society. ”

“But?”

“That's all I can tell you. ”

Moment.

At last, Artie Karesh's face frowned on the words of fever, unable to maintain his poker face.

‘Worry, even more. Not even the Grand Wizard of the century can escape his own death. It will be very confusing. ’

His reaction is seamless, nodding.

Dane Petinson.

There is definitely someone with that name at the Sunrise Festival.

The new Wizard has just arrived.

He was still just a sunchick to Artie Karesh, but the problem was not his ability.

He didn't say anything about whether he was going to kill himself or vice versa.

Should I kill him?

Or should I live the other way around?

“If you want something, you'll have to pay for it. Equivalent Exchange. The basics of magic, right? ”

“ ……. ”

Artie's mind was suddenly complicated.

Among them, the biggest reason to confuse him was not only his name, but also Dane Petinson's name.

“Hmm.”

Heatless appeared after preparing as if he had noticed in his heart.

Rrrrgh.

Rrrrgh.

As he reaches out, something faint hovers around Artis and disappears.

Ordinary people might just think of smoke as a momentary scattering.

“You know what this is. ”

“No way…. ”

But the moment I saw him, Artie's eyes shook even more severely.

It was so light and blurry that only the magician could feel it, but it was definitely a human figure.

He mutters in a low voice.

“Soul power……. ”

Heatless nods in response.

“It belonged to the sentries a moment ago. Don't worry, it wasn't treated too badly. You'll be sick for a few days, but it'll be enough to save your life. ”

“You...... Are you saying you can reach the seven elders? ”

Soul power.

It is neither the realm of magic nor the realm of magic.

The soul is what everyone has. But especially for those who walk the magic path, spiritual power has a special meaning.

‘Mindset makes magic stronger. That's why some people who practice black magic often turn their bodies into Lich. That way, you can gain more magical power by throwing away your restraints on the flesh. ’

However, it is never easy to deal with the soul force.

As far as Artie is concerned, there is only one wizard who deals with this soul.

“Well Bahar. ”

He looked at the fever.

Artie's mind became complicated as his expression remained unchanged.

"Has he mastered the magic of Wells Bahar? ’

At that moment, I felt a chill on my back.

Anxiety.

Maybe he got caught.

“No way…. You're from the Council of the Seven. ”

“Why? There's something to it. ”

“Ha, ha ha……. No way. Our ivory tower always values the will of the Senate. Well, I didn't hear they weren't coming in person. I didn't hear they were doing this. ”

“Really?"

The fever rises its mouth as if it knew something.

“I'll say it again. I'll save you. If it weren't for me, I'd be dead once already. ”

“Hmph, I don't know what you mean.... What kind of threat am I under? ”

“Of course I don't know now. It's happening in the next two years. ”

“ ……. ”

I was worried when I first came here.

Should I tell him or not what he knows?

As the past has already changed, the future can be different from what you experienced.

Though I was concerned that hasty behavior might make things worse, Artis Karesh was not an ordinary man.

A person who walks a magical path.

“Two years later. ”

That is why it will be acceptable.

“You will die to the Senate. ”

His own death.

“And after four seats, Dane Petinson becomes the owner of the ivory tower. ”

“What? That kid? Why? No way...... Is he betraying me and sticking up for the Senate? ”

“Maybe not, maybe not. ”

“What the……. ”

No fever cared for the words.

“But if you are with me, you will gain more than death. ”

“What's that……? ”

Heatless said one last thing, looking at the embarrassing face of Artis Karesh.

“A wish you don't want. The plan we've been working on so far. ”

Gulp.

How long has it been like this?

After decades of living in the ivory tower, Artis Karesh became nervous about the words of infertility for the first time, despite mastering the logic of many worlds and reaching the magical drama.

“The seat of head of the Senate. ”

“ ……!!! ”

Artie Karesh's eyebrows twitch.

“I'll leave that to you. ”

“That means……. ”

A word I couldn't even think of putting in my mouth.

No, I know.

“I annihilate the seven elders. ”

A plan secretly prepared by Artis Karesh, the owner of the ivory tower and leader of the Sunrise Society.

Though considered highly confidential, this plan is an unforgettable event for the feeble. No, it had to be known not only to the heatless but to everyone who lived on the continent.

In fact, this was the first time that the Sunrise Festival and Immortality held hands.

Destroying the Council of Seven.

Heatless was convinced by meeting Roan's journal and Nine Darhorn. Why the two Wizards fought with the Senate.

"Dead water rots. ’

At the same time, however, it was triggered by Polcetia in the war between the two sorceresses, and part of the continent was completely blown away.

"I, Darhon and Artis Karesh, united against a common enemy called the Senate, although it was hostile. But in the meantime, the incidents that occurred in the meantime divided and destroyed themselves. ’

Heatless looked at him.

‘What if…… instead of dividing them, I used the power of the Sunrise Council against the seven elders instead of me, Darhorn? ’

At first, he also thought about whether to make the Senate his own. However, it is never easy to deal with the minds of old people who were known to exist from the beginning before the ivory tower and the Antihum Great Library were created.

The reason why I, Artis Karesh, one of the best wizards on the continent, was sealed in pieces and was so secretly prepared... all the same.

“Do you really... think it's possible? No matter how much you say you're Lord Trammel, it's not something you can do with numbers. ”

“I am speaking to you as the Lord of the Antihum, not as Lord of Trammel. ”

There is a chance.

He never speaks feebly.

Why.

I, Darhorn, feared by the High Council, have the magic and dark powers he possesses, even though the great magic of Darhorn is sealed.

Not only that, well Bahar, one of the members of the Senate, was not even his strength before he died.

And lastly, there is something you need in a battle with them.

Reason for no fever.

“The magic sword in the ivory tower. ”

“ ……!!! ”

“Freezing Talon. ”

Moment.

Artie unconsciously places his hand on the blue sword on his waist.

“Ha, ha, ha... Hey, you. You know what that means. ”

Then, with a ridiculous look, he said to the face of nothingness.

“I never said I wanted an alliance. ”

From the moment I entered the ivory tower.

And so far.

Unlike him, his expression changed in time and again, his fever never changed, and he said the same thing.

“Come under me. ”
