I’m Only the Magic Tower Chapter 173
The two brothers looked at each other and laughed.
Frost had a bright smile on his face, while Jeong Seo-jin had a cruelly torn smile.
For a moment, a terrible silence fell in the room.
“Seojin. Calm down your excitement and think. I hope you will be careful about what you say.”
Frost said, tapping his temple.
“If you’re not trying to infiltrate Kim Yu-shin and give him a potion as a family gift… then what is it? Could it be that? Is it that again? Adolescent rebellion? So the last kid you caught was Kim Yu-shin?”
Frost said that to himself and laughed out loud.
“If you think like that, all I can say is that it’s truly pitiful, little brother. You know better. Even if you have a famous rookie who has been shining for a few years, you can’t do anything about the old tree that took root even before the rookie was born. “That’s what the system is. It’s just that the betting amount is different. It’s not an unfair race, but just running the race means losing.”
Frost told the story in a quiet voice.
“Aside from the fact that you are stupid, do you know that your existence is also negative for Kim Yu-shin? In return for embracing you, Kim Yu-shin gains his greatest enemy, the Unix Group. What crime did Kim Yu-shin commit? The sin of making the wrong friend?”
“…….”
“Let’s think positively, little brother. Just because he is already entangled with you, Kim Yu-shin’s ending is confirmed to be a bad ending. There is only one way for you to survive!”
Frost nodded and stuck out his head.
“Hand over the recipe to the person with the potion ability. And you both join Unix. Then, I will let you live as a dog. Feed it regularly, take it for a walk occasionally, and give you a reward when it is in a good mood. In fact, everyone lives like that. You’re hoping for it, right? Even at this very moment, Korean people who came to try to become our family dog are waging a spec war…”
“If you’ve finished talking, I’ll leave now.”
Jeong Seo-jin stood up and spoke out loud.
“I am so ashamed of the fact that I joined this family. You made a big mistake when you called people dogs.”
“Then did I say something wrong? It’s a fact.”
Frost shrugged.
“Everyone wants to be a dog from a good family, eat good food, wear good clothes, and be looked up to by other dogs. Master, please elect me. Wolwol.”
Frost’s eyes, who had been flirting while imitating a dog, turned cold for a moment.
“You started hanging out with dogs and your thoughts became shallow. Seojin.”
“…….”
“Are you going to go against your father’s will again?”
Jeong Seo-jin did not respond, but turned his back and left the room. Frost chuckled and tipped his wine glass.
“Are you finished talking?”
Secretary Ahn said.
“That’s right. Negotiations have collapsed.”
Frost said.
“Let’s form a task force team to catch Alchemia. Garam, where Kim Yu-shin is working, is a bit troublesome, so let’s start with the potion part first.”
“All right.”
“Let’s go out.”
“And master. We have one more guest.”
“Oh, that person? I want him to come in.”
A moment after Secretary Ahn left, the door swung open and a man dressed in shabby rags appeared.
“I heard there was someone who said something interesting, so I wanted to hear it for myself.”
Frost, who was rolling a wine glass while looking out the window, smiled.
“I think we could be good friends, right?”
A prosthetic hand made of metal protruded from between the rags and lifted the hood.
“I agree.”
* * *
We were traveling in a military helicopter coordinated by Garam. As highways across the country were clogged ahead of a disaster, the military provided support to help hunters move quickly.
Jin Jin-ra, Jeong Seo-jin, and Eun-sol and I boarded the same helicopter, and the 4th floor team was an attack team, so we went to the site a day early.
Samia is still working on the Magic Tower. She later agreed to join by teleporting once the operation began.
“Wow! It’s my first time riding that magic helicopter! I thought it would be really noisy, but it’s more comfortable inside than I expected!”
Jin Jin-ra was chattering as always.
“Oppa! Where are those cars going?”
Eunsol was looking down at the cars jammed on the highway.
“We’re going to a safe place where monsters don’t come out.”
“It’s like harvest! Harvest!”
“It must be Chuseok.”
While we were chatting cheerfully, there was someone who was unusually quiet.
“Seojin.”
“yes.”
“What’s wrong? You don’t look good.”
“Nothing happened.”
Although Jeong Seo-jin is naturally a quiet type, today’s atmosphere was somewhat different. It could be said that his complexion is particularly dark.
At that time, Jin Jin-ra, sitting next to him, tapped his forearm.
“Aha! I understand. Are you afraid of heights? For some reason, you don’t talk much.”
“Even today, the thought of Jin Jin-ra’s potion breaking my forehead scares me.”
“That’s a heel!”
When Jin Jin-ra got really angry, Jeong Seo-jin laughed out loud.
Hmm, I’m not sure. Is it worth worrying about?
“We have arrived at our destination, Miryang. We will land!”
The helicopter came down to the ground. I got off while hugging Eunsol, followed by Jinbora and Jeongseojin.
“Hunter Yushin Kim! You’re here!”
Shinnara ran over to greet us. I greeted her and then saw the man next to her.

“My name is Brigadier General Jo Jun-hyuk, and he is the person in charge of this operation.”
Jin Jin-ra’s expression froze upon hearing the rank, but I smiled and shook his hand.
“I am Kim Yu-shin, certified level 3.”
“Ah, I’ve heard so much about the great mage’s achievements. It’s an honor to serve you on our Gyeongnam front!”
“I am more honored. I will do my best to live up to your expectations.”
After greeting the military officers, we walked with Representative Shin Nara.
“O-all.”
Jin Jin-ra snuggled up next to me and poked my arm.
“Senior, do you have a good form? Something feels familiar? You look like a real pro!”
“He’s a real professional.”
When I responded sarcastically, she laughed and said, ‘I’m just kidding.’
“Hehe, by the way, I guess we’ve achieved success! When we got off the helicopter, someone with a star on his head greeted us!”
“You have to get used to it. You’re a hunter too.”
“That’s right. I guess I’m still an academy female college student at heart.”
The operation area was a rural village surrounded by mountains and covered with rice paddies and fields. All the villagers were evacuated.
Tanks and self-propelled guns can be seen moving, crushing crops.
It can’t be helped because it’s an exhibition, but it’s a sad sight.
On the way to our destination, Xin Nara explained the strategy to us. The detailed briefing was completed before coming to Miryang, but I reviewed it again while providing new information.
“Soon, when the gate opens in Miryang, an indestructible magical monster called ‘Immortal’ will appear.”
“Is it really a monster that can’t be killed?”
Jin Jin-ra asked with a puzzled expression.
“Yes! Of course, it cannot be destroyed until the dungeon is cleared, but it is possible to temporarily neutralize it by attacking it! And, as you probably already know, another important point! Information that Immortals preferentially attack nearby cities with a large population. “I’m there.”
Disasters, dungeon gates, and especially ‘cracks’, an abnormal phenomenon in which monsters fall from the sky, tend to appear frequently in places with a large population. It feels roughly similar to that.
“The command center predicts that it will target Busan City. Of course, it would be best to catch the Immortal here before it goes to Busan. There is a second and third defense line, and a defense system is prepared in Busan as well.”
“It’s thorough.”
“Because human life comes first.”
As we talked about this and that, we quickly arrived at the scene. The guns of countless tanks were stretched out toward the expected location of the gate, and the soldiers were running around frantically, preparing for battle.
And the place we arrived was inside the barracks where hunters could rest.
Various refreshments, drinks, and health foods were prepared on the table. Hunters were busy checking their suits in preparation for hunting.
“Everyone, please wait here for a moment. I have a meeting with Ayla, so I’ll be right back!”
“Yes. Take care of your work.”
Xin Nara ran out of the barracks. Jin Jin-ra looked at me with sparkling eyes.
“Did you hear, senior? The hunter team in charge of the Gyeongnam defense line is Garam and Ayla! The guild we first sold potions to was also Ayla!”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“At that time, when Ahn Se-hyun mentioned our company during the interview, it wasn’t a joke!”
At that time, Eunsol hesitated and pulled Jin Jin Ra’s sleeve. Jin Jin-ra said.
“Senior! I’m going to go to the bathroom with Sol.”
“Tap owner. I will also take a business call.”
“Yes, yes.”
The managers dispersed to do their own business, and I left the barracks to get some fresh air for the first time in a while and walked around alone.
It seems like it’s been a while since I’ve been taking a walk since I’ve been confined to the magic tower to master the 5th process magic and develop circle magic.
‘It’s an indestructible magical monster… … .’
I still haven’t figured out how to catch the Immortal. Should I have just joined the attack team instead of the defense team?
“Oh, really! Just take one potion and do it!”
“B-but we were also given supplies…!”
“It’s okay, I’m done. I’m done! I’m going to show off in case someone thinks I’m not part of the management!”
I can hear loud fighting voices coming from beyond the wall. If you listen closely, do you see a familiar voice?
I silently walked towards it. Then he stuck his head out over the wall and looked at the situation.
-So Sim-hee and Cha Do-yeon. Top owner.
‘I see.’
A female hunter wearing armor was saying something irritated to the two people. There are also a couple of her colleagues.
Cha Do-yeon and So Sim-hee were downcast, but they were protesting one way or another.
“Is there a problem?”
I said as I walked towards it.
The female hunter and her colleagues had flinching expressions, and Cha Do-yeon and So Sim-hee looked at me with wide eyes as if they were seeing a savior.
“who……”
The female hunter said with a frown. When her colleague was shocked and whispered something, she quickly lowered her head with a surprised expression.
“Ki, Hunter Kim Yushin! Excuse me.”
“Why are you raising your voice like that?”
I asked while looking at Cha Do-yeon. The moment she was about to open her mouth, she felt her female hunter, who was lowering her head towards me, glaring at her.
‘I’m scared, I’m scared.’
This is why it felt burdensome to get involved in women’s affairs. Cha Do-yeon answered with a trembling voice.
“We were talking briefly about the issue of sharing hunter supplies.”
“share?”
After hearing the whole story, it is shocking.
That female hunter’s name is Park Ji-hyun, and she is a member of the Ayla Guild, which is part of the strategy team along with the 4th floor team. I think she asked us to share some potions with the kids in case of an emergency because she was a member of the same strategy team.
Of course, Park Ji-hyun planned to return it after the dungeon was over, and said she would pay for the potion if she used it, but… … .
‘I will do that no matter how hard I try.’
It’s common in the hunter world to just throw things away. Even if it is packaged with plausible words such as operational effectiveness and all, it ends up being ripped off with vulgar words.
“Cha Do-yeon and So Sim-hee. You two should go back first.”
“……Ah, yes!”
They bowed and left.
I also spoke to two of her colleagues.
“Hunter Jihyun Park and I have something to talk about together. Please go back.”
Park Ji-hyun looked back at her colleagues with urgent eyes, but they quickly lowered their heads and disappeared as if running away.
Now only the two of us remain.
“ha.”
She sighed.
“What are you talking about? The operation is starting soon, so I hope you can finish it quickly.”
It’s a great face, indeed.
Well, in life, there are people like this and people like that.
“Don’t you think you did something wrong?”
I asked.
“I don’t think so. I just made the necessary request based on strategic judgment, and I also planned to pay for the potion properly.”
“Hmm.”
I squatted in place.
“Sit down for a moment.”
“……?”
“wait a minute.”
I smiled softly and gestured.
She looked a little embarrassed and then crouched down like me. I took out a bottle of potion from my pocket.
“Do you know what this is?”
“……!”
Her eyes roll back.
The logo of ‘Alchemia’ is engraved in gold in a luxurious-looking glass bottle. ‘Superlative’ in front of it. It is a top-quality red elixir priced at 200 million won per bottle.
“I apologize on your behalf, Hunter Park Ji-hyun. Since this is a party we go to with our kids, I should have paid more attention.”
“ah…….”
“You know what I’m saying? When you go to the dungeon, please take good care of my kids.”
I said, slowly shaking the top grade red elixir. Every time, her eyes follow suit and swing like a pendulum.
“Mu, wu, of course! Please leave it to me!”
“ruler.”
I held out the highest grade red elixir. The moment she approaches to receive her hands shaking.
I threw the elixir back.
“……ah!”
The 200 million dollar potion flew in a circle and fell to the ground.
Jang! With a sound, blood-red liquid soaked the tiles. Park Ji-hyun’s complexion turned white.
“Oops, my hand slipped. I’m sorry.”
I took out a new top elixir from my pocket and held it out to her again. She suddenly waved her hand.
“Hey, hey! You don’t have to do this…!”
“Oh my.”
I threw the potion behind my head as if showing off.
The glass bottle broke and the 200 million potion spilled onto the floor once again.
“I made another mistake.”
3 bottles.
“Oh, why are you like this?”
4 bottles.
Every time one bottle breaks, Park Ji-hyun’s expression falls apart in real time.
After belatedly assessing the situation, she trembled and cried out as if she was begging.
“Please stop! I was wrong! I’m sorry!”
5 bottles.
“What did I do wrong?”
“Well, that’s…!”
6 bottles.
“Please stop! I, I unfairly demanded potions from junior hunters! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
In the end, she confessed and buried her face in her palms and sobbed. I threw the seventh bottle I had taken out on the floor and got up.
“Well, you don’t have to do that too much. About 1.4 billion won is the price of gum.”
“……Ah, uh……”
Her shoulders trembled.
I glared at her with a smiling face.
“I guess because people say nice things, they look like dog shit, right?”
“Well, I just…!”
“I won’t talk to people like you anymore.”
I gaped at the corners of my mouth.
“Bring your guild master with you. We need to talk seriously about this matter.”
At those words, her expression completely collapsed and she looked like someone who had lost her country.
“Hey, please forgive me for that!”
“I never say the same thing twice.”
I said, looking at the clock.
“Bring Ahn Se-hyun. Right now.”
