“You want to learn magic? ”

Christian stared at Sung-cheol Kim with surprised eyes.

Kim Sung-cheol took the chili pepper paste from the soul storage and put it in the boiling pot. Then he nodded.

“I want to learn magic. As a new person.”

“Th-that's right. ”

Christian is a fast learner.

He knows that people like Kim Sung-cheol don't like the question of why.

He also knew that this moment was an opportunity to prove his worth.

“There are many magical guilds and sorcery schools in the City of Gold, but there's not much to compare them to. ”

“I've heard the name of the Aerfurt School of Wizardry. ”

I've killed a lot of people from that school.

Kim Sung-cheol took the dace from the stream, unfastened the miso and pepper paste, put it in boiled water, and looked at the liver with a spoon.

“Well, good. ”

A vegetable from a nearby farm enters the pot placed on a campfire.

A hot stone cauldron beside the campfire gives off a savory aroma and mobs.

Christian was a little embarrassed by Kim Sung-cheol's actions.

‘What the hell is he doing? I can't believe all I can find in that precious Soul Storage... It's such a strange crop that I can't even see from anywhere. ’

The Soul Storage is your own storage that can be obtained through Soul Imprinting.

Anyone with a Soul Storage can open their Soul Storage anytime, anywhere to store and store whatever items they want.

However, it is very difficult to get the Soul Storage, as other Soul Stampeders do, and it requires a large amount of money.

For a Soul Warehouse (General) where the 10 most popular items can be stored, it is equivalent to the price of housing in a major city, so it is not necessary to emphasize its value.

However, he was using that precious soul-storehouse as a timber storehouse for an unknown name.

I have never heard or seen such an example.

As Christian, I was dumbstruck.

Kim Sung-cheol took out another herb from the Soul Warehouse - a bottle of wine made of emerald and a soju glass. He followed the soju cup and took a quick breath.

“Yay!”

Then, I ate in front of him, and took the boiled spicy sauce with a spoon and took it to my mouth with a soap on a curly stone pot.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol closed his eyes and tasted his cooking.

[This dish scores... 24 points]

It's a poor score.

But Kim Sung-cheol didn't mind.

I don't know why you can see the food scores through the cooking class, but most of the time you give an imprecise score for Korean traditional dishes.

Especially, it was difficult to get more than 10 points no matter how delicious it was.

‘I don't know which one controls the cooking class, but I guess it's chodding. ’

Kim Sung-cheol, who emptied a bowl of rice with a green bottle of spirit, opened his mouth to Christian who was watching him because he was numb.

“I heard that Airfurt is difficult to get into. Is it true?”

“Yes… it's actually a little tricky to get into. You have to be young and well groomed. And most of all, referrals are highly recommended. ”

“What about the test?"

“I take tests, but they don't weigh much. ”

“Really?"

Kim Sung-cheol is old and not neat and has no recommendations.

“Is there anywhere else? I want a place that is easy to get into, teaches a lot of magic and guarantees fast growth. ”

After Kim Sung-cheol asked again, Christian quickly put out what he had in mind.

“There's no place like Airfurt in a golden city. I think you just need to trim your hair a little more if you're not old enough. And most importantly, how can I get one? ”

Christian smiles as he pulls a jewel out of his arms.

It was a token of trust Kim Sung-cheol gave to Christian.

“With this amount of jewelry, you'll also have to lie down and eat recommendations. I personally know the professor in admissions. Let's negotiate with this. ”

Christian said with a confident face.

Kim Sung-cheol took a small sack out of his arms and gave it to Christian.

As I pick up the sack, I hear a sweet sound from the sack.

Christian pulls his sack slightly and swallows his saliva.

Inside the sack was 99.9% pure gold coins.

“Write.”

“Y-you 're welcome. A jewel would suffice, but such a large sum...”

Kim Sung-cheol got up from his seat.

“I'll go to the golden city first. When will the results be? ”

“With this kind of money, it'll all be over in no time. I think I can report it to you tonight. ”

“Really? I'll be under the clock tower by sunset tonight, so keep me posted. ”

“Oh, I get it. ”

“And do some dishes. Especially the pots. ”

Leaving a clean bowl, Kim Sung-cheol walked behind Christian and towards a golden city far away.

*

The City of Gold.

It is a free city that does not belong to any power, and a cradle where new Summoners prepare for a new beginning in this world.

At the moment, the City of Gold was celebrating the arrival of a new Summoner, who had completed the entire process of the Summoning Palace.

The new summoners who came to Samoa or the golden city alone received extreme hospitality from the welcomers who came from the entrance of the city.

“To the new blood of this world! ”

“Welcome. In this world, we welcome you. ”

The women in the ornaments smile brightly and lead the Summoners to the square.

The Summoners were drawn to the square by the people of the city without even knowing it, and were unexpectedly welcomed in the sight of the crowds.

Alcohol and food were provided to the Summoners, and the pleasant music and dancing took place all over the square.

People called this festival the start of the festival.

It is an event to celebrate the monumental moment when the sprouts arriving from the real world overcome the harsh trials of the Summon Palace and take their first steps in this world.

Here, not only the citizens of the golden city, but also the emerging adventurers, the clergy, and the ruling power of the two kingdoms.

The nominal purpose is to welcome and truly celebrate new Summoners, but the actual purpose is to observe and recruit new Summoners.

Dmitri Mediov, the leader of the central continent, a man empire, came here with that goal.

He was watching the Summoners grinning, chattering, eating and drinking with bored eyes.

“How are you? Do you have someone you can use? ”

A middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe sat down next to Dmitri and spoke to him.

The man's name is Armuk Bakr.

An allied commander of a storm front, a massive force forming three rivers in the north of the continent.

Two people gathered together to make a living.

Numerous people were attracted to them, and each one of them opened their imaginations and murmured, but they didn't even care about that kind of attention.

“Well, I don't see anything worth using. ”

Dmitri frowns, shaking his wine glass.

“You know, we haven't been able to get the right stones out of the Summon Palace since the inner circle." ”

When Demetri asked about the fly line, Armuk nodded, expressing his agreement, pointing to a figure.

It's a celestial ceremony.

“At least I found something nice in the White Square. He's a rare talent with determination, talent, and tenacity. ”

“Then what are you doing? He's already taken by the Ancient Kingdom. As soon as the palace is finished, I'll take him to the old palace and let him breathe some dust. ”

“I see. But you know what? ”

Armuk smiles with a meaningful smile.

Dmitri tilts his wine cup with a dark face, but Armuk's words that flow behind him take him by surprise.

“They say the trail of the Seven Heroes is gone. Not one, but three. ”

“That's ridiculous. Didn't we conclude that no one had accomplished the task for thousands of years and that it would never be possible? ”

In particular, Demetri shifted in contemplation of Vestiaret's ordeal.

‘It's so hard to look at that crazy woman's thoughts. The sane mind can never pass. Ahhh. Of course. ’

However, Armuk realizes that he is telling the truth.

“I was.”

Clear past tense.

“ ……. ”

Dmitri stares at the empty ground with a clear face, then regains consciousness and takes a sip.

“Is that true? ”

“Why would I lie? ”

Dmitri looked back at the new Summoner enjoying the banquet.

“You mean there were three of them who inherited the Seven Heroes' vision? The one who watched the nightmares of Vestiaret... ”

“It could be one. I can't rule out the possibility of being a regretter. ”

“Regret...”

Dmitri doesn't value regrets as much as others.

If one fails, it's because it's the law of the world they've been in.

Armuk looks at Dmitri's face and says,

“And... word on the street is that one of the new summoners disappeared into the Eastern Wasteland without being heard from. That's a pretty good one, too. Isn't this a typical regression pattern? ”

“You're not going to be a regretter. The Seven Heroes are not generous enough to accept the pathetic things that have failed once. Even a regretter won't last long. The followers of the cult won't let you down. ”

Dmitri shakes his head lightly and looks at a woman.

She was quite a beautiful Asian woman.

He calls the acolyte to confirm her name.

“My name is Bae Sung-hye. He is the nephew of the Iron Knights Ancient Crisis. ”

Dmitri's mouth reminds me of a joke when he heard the Iron Knights' name.

“The Iron Knights? I thought they were out of money, but they have enough money to stake the Summon Palace in Yonkers. ”

His gaze lost interest turned to someone else.

‘What's that? He's not a jerk.’

He was an ugly man in a watery field gown with worn jeans.

Dmitri points at him and jokes.

“He's been alone in the Summoning Palace for 10 years. Look at what you're wearing. ”

“That guy's outfit is weird, by the way. Hold on a second. ”

Armuk clenches his fist.

A blue flame appeared on his fist, circling around his fist, and he threw up a book.

Armuk handed over the book and stared quietly, sighing shallow.

“He's got nothing better to do. But one name is extraordinary. ”

“What's your name? ”

“That's a name I'm not supposed to say. It's the same name as the enemies of the world. ”

“Ha! That's a terrible name. But they look different. They're different sizes. ”

“It must be the same name. Kim Iran is common and common among Koreans. ”

“Let's take a look at the enemy stats of our world. ”

Dmitri's eyes flash.

Immediately, a small sorcerer appears in front of his eye and spins like a wheel, spreading the desired information in front of him.

Dmitri laughs at you.

“It's only Kim Sung-cheol. Well, he wouldn't come up with something like this. As soon as he shows his face, all the troops in this world will be on fire. ”

A man dressed in an ugly field gown was secretly pouring only a drink with a expressionless face, whether he knew that the powerful people of this world were discussing themselves.

At the end of the festival, he stood under a giant clock tower, informing the city of its time, and waited for a visitor to arrive shortly.

The wait did not last long.

“Warrior.”

Christian Ashwood.

The man who changed into a black robe with a subtle sheen in his dog skin robe appeared in front of Kim Sung-cheol with a slightly less confident face.

“The result?"

“Your admission is guaranteed. using only half of the gold. But…”

Christian blurs.

Kim Sung-cheol's frostbite burst out without delay.

“Speak.”

“There's a bad rumor going around about school. ”

“What kind of rumors? ”

Christian swallows his saliva and answers.

“Followers of disaster. They say they are active inside the school. Though it was easy to get things done...”

“Followers of disaster...”

Kim Sung-cheol uttered his name as if to savor it.

Wizards naturally explore a magical source called truth.

If we stop exploring the truth at an appropriate level, it will be beneficial for both the wizard and the whole Gentile world, but as always, extremes exist.

Some people put the quest for truth above all values and throw other values, property, flesh, and even their own lives as a devoted pair.

This is typical of a living corpse wizard like Rich.

But there are more than that.

Followers of disaster.

Psychopaths believe that there is a key to unlocking the true secret of magic in a disaster enforced by the power of God.

The wizards who were killed by Kim Sung-cheol were followers of the disaster.

Christian continues to talk with an aggressive expression.

“My school... but I don't think we should go there right now. You know, where disaster followers work, betrayal and conspiracy, death and curses. ”

Then he looked at Kim Sung-cheol's face.

Surprisingly, Kim Sung-cheol was smiling.

“I like that. ”
