364th episode
After finishing his work on Guild Union, Jae-ho took his broken staff and headed for the red tower area.
If Big Thunder knew, he would have been foaming and nagging, but fortunately now he wasn't logging out.
Jae-ho thought it would be better to visit Loonior right away than to show it to other wizards.
Just in time, I had to thank him for his special attention for this job.
"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Alsia the Great, aren't you our biggest customer? That's as much as you can do."
Although Loonior spoke with modesty, Jae-ho knew well that it was never easy.
'There's nothing else except the money used by the garden, but it helps through the Red Balloon every time.’
It was true that he was receiving excessive favors.
But Lunior's ideas were a little different.
In the Elysia Garden, direct trade of flowering items was done to the Wizards belonging to the Red Tower, which greatly improved the level of wizards.
Lunicor was very pleased with it and only repaid in the way he could.
"So how did it go? Rumor has it you've been in a big mess this time, too.”
"Haha... it just happened to get bigger. Are you okay with it?”
"He's been on the line for a long time to time. You don't have to worry at all. Besides, I heard you had a good relationship with the golden hawks.”
"Good relationship...….”
Perhaps it is a good relationship unilaterally.
"But from your perspective, I think I came for a different reason."
As expected, Lunior noticed quickly.
Jae-ho brought out Moo-moo's name to him.
"Huh, Moo-moo-man. It's been a long time since I heard that name. Hmm... it's been a long time and I can't remember very well, but there was a strange study he was trying."
Surprisingly, Loonior noticed it as soon as he heard the name.
"That's right. Transcendental!"
"Oh! That's right. That's it. It was a pretty funny idea. Using Mana, you're going to overcome the limitations of your physical abilities, the weakness of the wizard.”
Patting his beard, he narrowed his forehead slightly, as if to bring out more memories.
"It was quite interesting, but I know it banned the research on the back tower side, and I'm surprised that even half of it was successful.”
However, Lunior's response was never an exclamation.
It was just a cynical reaction to MooMoo's personal achievements, only to applaud that they had achieved some results.
"Not much, is it?"
At Jae-ho's question, he shrugged and smiled.
"It's a stupid idea. When a magician's weakness is his physical ability that falls behind his warriors, he admits to his own limitations."
That's what Loonior says.
Magic is a field that requires brain, not physical.
Denying it and being greedy for physical ability were tantamount to having one's eyes on gray rice.
An outstanding wizard could deal with any number of strong knights.
"Wouldn't it be more effective to use magic with it if you had the strength to organize the body into mana in the first place?"
"Uh......that's true, too?"
It sounded right.
"But you're strong against him, aren't you?"”
"But didn't you win in the end?"
As a result, it would have been different if it had been the perfect transcendence that only MooMoo dreamed of.
"If there is no such thing. And there's no reason to oppose it. They're head and shoulders, but they're not fools."
MooMuman disparaged them as "oldies" who were afraid of change, but the reality Loonior said was a little different.
"You'll have to pay for something to deal with such destructive power, but what would he have been like?...... with very high possibilities, he must have borrowed power from outside the world."
Upon hearing that, Jae-ho was startled by the Hyuan of Lunior.
In fact, Loonior borrowed the power of the devil.
The white pagoda in the past knew that it would end up this way.
Jae-ho said he was not on good terms with the White Tower, but that did not mean they were evil.
It may pose an unforeseen danger to the world, in which only Moo-moo was unable to let the research proceed further, so he banned research and deleted records.
'Well, given what you've been doing there, it wasn't in your right mind.
Anyway, Jae-ho's visit wasn't to hear about Moo-Moo-Man.
"Would you mind watching this, Mr. Loonior?"
Jaeho extended MooMoo's broken staff.
"Hmm? Is this... Is this a staff member of MooMoo's?"
At first sight, he noticed and took it with his eyes shining.
"Somehow it seems like there's a secret hidden here, but there's no way I can tell."
"Huh, it is. No matter how good the fielders are, it's impossible to identify the Wizard's staff."
Loonior called out some small one-eyed glasses from the air and put them on his eyes.
"Let's see... ...it looks like there's an explosion inside, once it's broken. Based on the reverberation of mana, the staff couldn't bear the power... Hmm? Ohh!….”
After seeing him for a long time, he squinted his eyes and was amazed.
"Amazing. This wasn't just broken."
"It's not broken?”
"Yes, it is. It's totally different. In short, it's a seal.”
Jae-ho was also surprised by the unexpected story.
"The broken state is sealed...….”
It was a ridiculous way of sealing the concept of God.
"Huh, I've never seen anything like this before. But if you look at the flow of this mana, it's certain. It seems that the staff decided that they couldn't handle this power and cut the cycle of Mana."
“…….”
A magical world that is not easily understood.
"That means the staff is still alive?”
"That's what I mean by expression. Anyway, this staff is sealed with a strong force stopped. But it's a force that can't be used. At this rate, we could destroy the user...….”
At that moment, Lunicor's expression hardened.
After a long silence in that condition, he suddenly sighed.
"Now I know.”
Lunior said.
"Why only MooMoo dreamed of transcendentalism."
When he said that, Jae-ho had no choice but to know.
"You don't want to use this staff...…?”
"I suppose so.”
Lunior looked down at the broken staff with a stiff face.
"I don't think it's an ordinary thing. Would you mind leaving the investigation to me if you don't mind?"
[*Quest*]
[I think there's a big secret hidden in MooMoo's staff.
Lunior is seeking your consent, hoping to take a closer look at this.]
[If accepted, there is a possibility that you will learn the secrets of the staff.]
[If rejected, get the staff back.]
There was no mention of success or reward, although it appeared as a quest.
Just an option of acceptance or refusal.
'I've never seen anything like this before.’
A quest that only wants a simple answer.
Even if he refused, he had no other penalties.
'But when you see a system alert, it means there's a big secret.’
It could be expected that this would be the beginning of another case.
"Then please."
Jae-ho accepted of course.
Lunior was one of his most trusted NPCs.
* * *
As for MooMuman's staff, I left it to Lunior for now.
Yet Jae-ho still had one more mystery he gained from the expedition.
The place I visited for it was the Elysia Painter's Order Building, which is now well-made.
Found Farrow, the Devil Knight Commander there.
"Farrow! Are you there?"
"Hmm? Your Majesty?"
Fortunately, Farrow met Jae-ho as he was about to go out to the construction site for the canal's supervision.
"What's going on?”
"Look at this."
Jae-ho immediately took out an unidentified device obtained from the Imperial Palace in the Lunga Kingdom.
Seeing the monster gun marked with [??], Parrow's eyes grew so big that they popped out, and gave Jae-ho expectations.
"Well, where did you get that?"
"Do you know what this is?”
"I don't know?"
"...but what's the reaction?"
"Ah... ...I felt a gentle spell coming out of it. I feel something strange. But I think you should put it back in for now."
Farrow pointed to the training ground behind him.
"Huck?!!"
The function of this box that was forgotten for a while.
"Turn it off"
"Hee, the power... ....”
Jae-ho was anxious to see the drooping trainers crawling on the floor.
It was only himself and the devil, Farrow, who were not affected.
Finally, I came out to the desert to avoid the deserted places.
Kung
Farrow began to scrutinize the large device he had put down on the floor.
"It's definitely a horse's device. There's probably a pattern that indicates where this device was made. Once we figure that out, we can guess what purpose and function this has."
Farrow glared his eyes and examined the dizzyingly etched patterns on the surface.
"Well, what about this? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Ah! This is it. Oh, no?"
Mumbling and looking at all six sides, Farrow finally figured something out.
"Do you see this pattern here?”
"...at all."
Even though I was pointing my finger, it was impossible to check if it was a pattern.
"It's a symbol of the Grand Duke of Rhoduca."
"Roduca?"
"One of the Seven Grand Dynasties of the Horse and the Great Devil of Color."
"What? The Great Devils are involved?"
A hair that begins to throb.
Fortunately, however, it wasn't that bad.
"No, it was made under the name of Lord Roduca."
In other words, it was called the Roduca brand.
"I guess the strange feeling I felt is pleasure. However, it seems to have a slightly different effect on people.”
“…….”
Jae-ho, who had heard so far, opened up the street with an unpleasant look.
"...Jing Jing, can you stay away from me, too?”
?
Jing Jing, who was sitting on his shoulder, tilted his head after losing his fixed front pocket to Aldrion.
"I'm sorry, but....... You just heard it. It's a bit of a snob to the demons."
???
"I don't think you understood...….”
No. I got it.
I didn't say anything because it was so ridiculous.
"Hmm, hmm."
Jing Jing-yi's eyes, which seemed to see a madman, turned Jae-ho's eyes to a false cough.
"Anyway, he's the devil of lust. Let's say he is. Why the hell did they put this there?"
There was no explanation for the device in MooMoo's diary.
Maybe he didn't know either...….
"It's something that makes you feel good....... How wicked."
"Why is that evil?"
"Why make you feel pleasure? There are people who don't feel pleasure, don't! It's not a deception for solos, what is it?"
"...yes. Okay. But isn't the devil itself inherently evil in the first place? I thought they were born to screw."
"Uh, the world of the devil lives there, too. Don't tell me the demons don't stab each other every day. There's a life of its own."
Jae-ho had no choice but to say yes.
"So there's no other information?”
"The exact thing is that the original owner of this thing or any other demon might know. I'm not an expert, so that's the limit."
"Well, it's a shame... I don't lose. Come to think of it, I think it's enough."
At the sudden thought, Jae-ho bounced his finger.
"You're sure this has something to do with Roduca?”
"That's for sure."
"Okay. Thank you."
"Hmm? Is it settled?"
"There's someone I can help, but not yet.”
Maybe on this side, someone who might know better than the devil, Farrow...….
