89 – Master of the White Mage Tower

The Mage Tower.

There are five magic towers on this continent.

Red Magic Tower, Blue Magic Tower, Green Magic Tower, Black Magic Tower.

And finally, the white magic tower.

Magic towers boasting a tremendous history of close to a thousand years at most.

Among them, the relatively old mage tower is the 400-year-old white mage tower.

But the white mage tower was really famous among the mage towers.

First of all, only women received the white magic tower.

Perhaps thanks to that, among the young ladies who had problems or had difficulty choosing their course, young ladies with magical talent often went to the White Mage Tower.

And the white magic tower had very strong power.

The wizards produced here all have tremendous skills, and it was often assumed that if a new magic tool or magic was invented, it would most likely be white.

And one of the biggest reasons was that no one knew the identity of the owner of the mage tower.

The owner of the White Mage Tower always dispatched only his agents outside without revealing himself.

So all sorts of rumors went around.

A person who does not exist himself, or a criminal somewhere.

Or a monster that lives for eternity.

“Stop, who are you?”

The northern part of the continent, the white magic tower.

The two armed wizards guarding the entrance peered through their eyes at the visitor.

“I want to meet the owner of the Magic Tower.”

A soft voice was heard from under the hood.

The magicians who stood guard looked at each other for a moment, then slightly bowed their heads toward the person they presumed to be a guest.

“Did you make an appointment in advance?”

“A promise? No, I didn’t.”

“I’m sorry, but it’s hard to meet the Mage Tower Lord without an appointment in advance.”

“Hmm…Then…”

The blonde woman took off her hood, exposing her long ears.

“Tell them that your old friend, Lilu of the Arma clan, has come to visit.”

Inside the white magic tower.

A middle-aged woman was busy walking around and shouting.

“Master of the Tower of Magic! Where are you! Lord of the Tower of Magic!!”

Her name is Elise Allion.

A high-ranking wizard who currently occupies a position right below the owner of the white mage tower.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is doing her external Mage Tower lord’s work, as the lord of the Mage Tower cannot go outside due to her own circumstances.

Even though she is practically the same as the lord of the mage tower, she always humbles herself, saying that she cannot dare compare herself to the lord of the mage tower.

“Where did this man suddenly disappear?”

As she was grumbling, a young woman ran from the other side.

“Master! Did you find the master of the tower?”

“No, I can’t see it anywhere. Anyway, in such a busy time…”

The woman, who called her Elise her mentor, brushed her blue hair behind her and lightly wiped her sweat.

Since the morning, she has been running around looking for the owner of the Mage Tower, and she is quite tired.

“Whoa…Let’s get some rest.”

“Yes, Master.”

The woman, who was trying to recover from her tired body, welcomed her master’s words and guided her master to a bench nearby.

“Come to think of it, what kind of person is the owner of the tower? Master said that you would be able to tell right away…”

“Hmm, come to think of it, how long has it been since you entered the Mage Tower?”

“It must have been over a year.”

At the words of the disciple, the wizard Elise became her thoughtful face, and then her expression quickly changed.

“Yes, the time has come for you to formally greet the Lord of the Tower, so let’s count it well.”

“Yes?”

“Actually, the lord of our white mage tower…”

“Um… Master? What is that?”

Just as Elise was about to say something, the disciple opened her mouth.

As the disciple’s fingers guided her, there was something that caught Elise’s eyes as she turned her head.

Something whitish, slightly protruding from the ceiling.

It was translucent and whitish, moving subtly, as if it were alive.

“Huh, you appear at just the right time.”

Elisse sighed as she said that.

“Magic tower lord, you can see everything hiding, so come out.”

“Yes?”

Is that white, translucent thing the master of the Magic Tower?

As the disciple was staring blankly at it, it came crashing down from the ceiling.

Looking at it, the disciple was able to understand what the master’s words meant.

And at the same time, the meaning of the saying that the Magic Tower Master has not changed for over 400 years.

“Uh…How did you know?”

“The hem of his clothes came out. Master of the Mage Tower.”

“Anyway, the hem of this dress is too long. I can’t change it.”

The figure of the mage tower protruding from the ceiling was clearly revealed.

The lord of the mage tower in the form of a young woman with long black hair.

She is probably in her mid to late twenties, she wears a long-sleeved robe over her body, and a large hat on her head.

The only peculiarity is that the color of her entire body is very faint and translucent.

Yeah, like…

“Go…Ghost?!”

“Aha, that’s always what kids who see me for the first time always do.”

The magic tower master nodded her head with a smile as if he expected the student’s words.

“It’s not a Ghost. To be honest, I’d say it’s a little more obscure.”

“That…What is that…?”

When the disciple did not understand the words of the Master of the Tower, the sound of someone running through the hallway was heard.

“Master of the Magic Tower! Are you here?!”

The magician who came running was sweating profusely.

You can roughly guess how busy she must have been to sweat that much in the overall cool white tower.

“Wizard Samantha. What happened all of a sudden?”

It was none other than Elise who asked Samantha, the wizard who came running.

“Ah, Lady Elise. That’s… The Lord of the Magic Tower has a visitor.”

“Dear Mage Tower Lord…?”

Elise looked at the Mage Tower Master standing behind her.

The Magic Tower Lord just nodded her head as if she didn’t even know.

“That…That’s the old friend of the lord of the mage tower…”

“To me? I’ve never been out of the Mage Tower for hundreds of years? I can’t get out…”

Samantha nodded at the words of the Magic Tower Master and said.

“Yes…That’s right, the customer was an elf. If you say Rilu of the Arma clan, you’ll know…”

“Let me in now.”

As soon as the name came out of Samantha’s mouth, the mood of the Tower Master changed.

Those translucent eyes were full of longing.

The drawing room of the White Magic Tower.

An elf wearing thick clothes and robes. Lilu took off her hood and sat on her couch, staring at the presence in front of her eyes.

The owner of the White Mage Tower, even within the Mage Tower, is often referred to as the owner of the Mage Tower, not by name.

It was because the owner of the Magic Tower himself refused to be called by his name.

But Lilu didn’t particularly care about that.

“It’s been a while, Chaney.”

“Ah…Well, if it’s you Lilu, it won’t matter. It’s been a while.”

“Yes, I’ve heard about Chaney’s story, but somehow I had to play the role of watchman, inherited from her mother.”

“So that means that the role is over now?”

Magic tower lord, Chaney smiled.

It’s been a really long time since an acquaintance who knew the past came to visit, but I was very happy that his name was called by that acquaintance.

He wonders if he can be called by that name, although it’s a bit ambiguous.

“Yes. More trouble than that.”

“Huh? Well… Let’s listen in detail.”

“Wait before that…”

Saying that, Lilu looked at Elise, her student, and wizard Samantha, who were waiting in her living room.

Elyz, realizing the meaning of her hand gesture, left the room with her pupil and Samantha.

And after a while, Leelu opened her mouth.

“The world tree, Yggdrasil, has passed away.”

“What?”

“They say it’s been over ten years since he passed away.”

At those words, Chainy, the owner of the Mage Tower, opened her mouth.

Looking into Lilu’s eyes, Chaney said, convinced he wasn’t lying.

“What do you mean? What did Velia do while that happened?”

“Velia is the one who made Yggdrasil like that.”

“Huh…”

Belia, a saintess who assisted Yggdrasil, the world tree, until she became a heroic spirit after death.

Cheney, the owner of the Mage Tower, couldn’t stop his mouth at the fact that such Velia had caused Yggdrasil to die.

“I didn’t know…How the heck did that happen…”

“It can’t be helped. Chaney can’t get out of this tower.”

The owner of the Magic Tower, Chaney, cannot leave this white Magic Tower.

She is an existence formed by combining her thoughts and vast magical power within the environment of this white magic tower.

So as long as the mage tower exists, it can exist forever, but you can’t get out of the mage tower.

That’s why it’s difficult to know the circumstances outside the Magic Tower unless someone tells you.

Even, the saintess Belia was using her power stolen from her Yggdrasil to cycle her magical power instead of Yggdrasil.

It is true that it is difficult for Chainy, the owner of the Magic Tower, to know.

“But Yggdrasil gave birth to a new world tree and passed away.”

“A new world tree?”

“Now, you are in the kingdom of Palaginia. He hasn’t been very strong since he was born for about a year, but…”

At those words, Chainy, the owner of the mage tower, gave a slightly relieved expression.

If a new world tree is born, grows, and grows stronger to replace Yggdrasil, a major crisis can be avoided.

“But you don’t know what Velia will do. So she came because she wanted to buy insurance.”

“Hmm… But I can’t get out of this mage tower. I don’t think it’s going to be difficult to help you directly.”

Then, Lilu took out something of hers from her arms.

A pendant with a small magic stone embedded in it.

The pendant was already broken and the magic stone lost its luster due to lack of magic, but Chainy, the owner of the mage tower, knew about the pendant.

“This…”

“Remember? This is a pendant made by Chaney.”

Looking at the pendant, which was so worn out that its string was broken, Chainy, the owner of the mage tower, looked at it as if he missed it.

“I want to fix this pendant and use it for the new world tree.”

“But can this pendant be of such great help?”

“It was something you made, and if you refresh it, it’s only natural that it would be of great help. You’re the witch Chei, one of the heroes who defeated the demon lord.”

“Strictly speaking, I’m not the real Chainy. I’m just a remnant.”

The heroes who defeated the demon lord, among them the beast-man warrior Leos and the witch Chaney, disappeared over time.

The master of the mage tower here, Chainy, is an existence possessed of vast magical power and ego, the remnant thoughts of the disappeared witch Chainy.

That’s why she didn’t like being called by her first name.

“It’s okay. I know from talking today, but you are the Chaney I know.”

“That’s…A very thankful word.”

Chaney magically floated his pendant and brought it near him.

Chaney looked at the pendant and nodded.

“Wait a week, just a week. I’ll fix it perfectly.”

“Hey, Master?”

“Why?”

In Elise’s laboratory, the disciple who helped Elise there was busy with the guest who had just visited and the owner of the Magic Tower.

“Didn’t the customer who came earlier call the owner of the Magic Tower ‘Chainy’? That’s unbelievable…”

“You noticed. That’s right. The lord of our white mage tower is the witch Chainy.”

At that, the disciple let out an exclamation.

The invasion of the demon king 400 years ago, and the five heroes who defeated the demon king.

Their story was a very famous story in the kingdom of Palaginia, the hometown of the disciple.

Above all, how could he not know that the founder of the Kingdom of Palaginia is one of those heroes?

“So, did the deceased witch become a Heroic Spirit?”

“That’s a bit different, the Mage Tower lord always said that he was just a thought body.”

“Thought body?”

“Yes, that’s why he has vast power, but he can’t get out of this mage tower.”

At that, the disciple nodded.

Because he knew that his teacher, Elise, was busy going here and there as a substitute for the mage lord.

“Then the secret about the Master of the Tower is…”

“That’s right, the only people in the White Mage Tower who know that the lord of the Mage Tower is the witch Chainy. It would only make a lot of noise if I revealed it.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, so when everyone leaves the Mage Tower, they leave with the magic of secrecy applied.”

While working while having such a conversation, Elise’s work was finally over.

The disciple who helped did it also stretched out and warmed up, and Elise rose from her seat.

“Now, there is no time to rest. I have to leave the Mage Tower again in a while, so I have to start your training again.”

“Yes, Master.”

“The more you teach, the more your skills definitely improve, so it’s good that I enjoy teaching too.”

Elise, who had been smiling like that, put on a stern expression again and looked straight at the student.

“Now, let’s resume our training. Are you ready? Liliana.”

“Yes! Let’s get started.”
