Only I Have Two Towers Episode 241
Unusual Movements
Ding!
[Additional information about Star Sage Elia Posen is being updated!]
[She established the concept of alchemy, laid its foundation and groundwork, and established related rules and order!]
[By founding academies and guilds to foster future alchemists, she is a living legend and history itself! Even now, countless alchemists regard Elia Posen as their role model and respect her!]
Jinhyeok stared at the messages popping up like rapid fire.
So countless alchemists regarded her as their role model.
Well, there were no other alchemists around, so there was no way to know.
He looked at Ellia, who was still going “Hehehe!”
She seemed even more impressive today somehow.
The first alchemist!
“Ellia, one more question!”
“Go ahead!”
“Then did you also create alchemy’s greatest taboo?”
“As expected of my master, very sharp. It’s a taboo created based on the trial and error I went through?”
Ellia approached smoothly and lowered her voice.
Then she spoke very secretively.
“So I’ve never broken any taboos, you know? I did it before the taboos were created. Completely innocent?”
Gulp!
While swallowing dry saliva.
Kancheo, who had been listening from below, clicked his tongue.
“This won’t do. Can’t use this. And it’s not completely innocent, it’s a perfect crime…”
Whack!!
Ellia’s hand swung out and Kancheo went rolling again.
But this time was different.
Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain Kancheo would no longer hold back.
Whack! Whack! Whack!
Kancheo immediately respawned and pummeled with his slingshot while grabbing Ellia’s hair.
Even Jinhyeok nodded this time.
He had endured quite a lot.
Thud!
Before long, Ellia collapsed ungracefully.
A pitiful sight that didn’t match her titles of Star Sage and first alchemist at all.
“Acting up day after day!”
Kancheo dusted off his hands and spun around.
The resistance must have been fierce as Kancheo’s fur was also disheveled.
But he seemed satisfied, so it was okay.
“Fierce as always. Satan’s fist.”
Ellia flipped over and lay spread-eagle.
“Her hair’s become a complete demon hag!”
Momo approached and pressed down the messy hair.
Jinhyeok also approached and sat down beside her.
“Did you give this Philosopher’s Stone to someone? You had it until you left here.”
“Oh, that?”
Ellia snapped her fingers and made a bright expression.
“I dropped it while running to eat?”
He stared at Ellia with a dumbfounded face.
You could lose something like this. Such an incredible item.
“Then someone picked it up and processed it into a sphere for use.”
He took out the device that had been encasing the Philosopher’s Stone.
# This is a sphere that came from somewhere.
He thought the purpose would be revealed when he cleared Ellia’s promotion quest, but it seemed to be a separate issue.
Ellia, who had been staring intently, sat up.
“I’m suddenly curious.”
Ellia rubbed her chin and examined the sphere closely.
“Before, I had no idea where this could be used.”
Ellia put the Philosopher’s Stone into the sphere and nodded.
“If it can block the stone’s energy to this extent, it might be perfect for dolls, no more, no less?”
“Hey granny! If you knew that, you should have said so earlier! Why did you stay quiet!”
“I think it’s because my Primordial Curiosity level went up? Before I just accepted it, but looking again I can see some new things.”
She poked and fiddled with the sphere using tools she produced from somewhere for a while.
“I’ve seen something similar somewhere. I feel like I’ve seen it before.”
Ellia tilted her head this way and that, falling into contemplation.
“If you can’t remember, just say so. I’ll help. Even broken radios can be fixed with one hit of this.”
Kancheo pulled out an assault rifle from his bag.
Instead of pulling the trigger, he seemed to want to use it as a club.
But wait, we never had a radio at home, so how does he know that?!
After some time passed, did this threat take effect?
Ellia snapped her fingers.
“I remembered! Magitech engineering?”
“Hey granny! You’re not just saying anything to avoid getting beaten, are you!”
“No? That’s right, that’s right. Magitech engineers always worried about core energy sources when making dolls. They would stop if not periodically recharged.”
The moment Ellia finished speaking.
Ding!
[Star Sage Elia Posen’s curiosity has revived forgotten memories!]
[Entry conditions for the 20th floor of Mythic Tower have been met!]
Oh!?
The 19th floor of Mythic Tower had been cleared when Ellia was promoted.
The entry condition for the 20th floor was the use of the Philosopher’s Stone, so he was worried about where to find out about it.
It was solved in one go.
[Currently holding 3 Mythic Tower tickets. You can enter the 20th floor!]
His friends were still in good condition.
Without hesitation, he pressed the entry button.
Let’s go right away.
To find the owner of the stone.
The control room of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) located in Langley, Virginia, USA.
A strange atmosphere flowed through this place where information from around the world was collected.
“Observation target 3,722 in Texas is also on the move.”
“Number 7,111 who was in São Paulo, Brazil is the same.”
Control room supervisor Daniel Mercer frowned upon receiving the reports.
Did they all make dinner plans together today?
Key observation targets who had been quiet for a while began moving simultaneously.
Daniel got up from his seat and walked to the monitor.
Excluding the just-reported 3,722 and 7,111, over ten dots were in motion.
“Display the observation reasons for the currently moving targets.”
“Understood.”
Shortly after, Daniel let out an exclamation at the text that appeared on the monitor.
They were all suspected of being involved in large-scale terrorism and assassination of key figures.
People who had circumstantial evidence but no physical evidence, so warrants couldn’t be issued.
“Where are they going?”
“We’ll need to wait a bit longer to be certain, but based on their current direction of movement, they’re heading to airports in each city.”
“Can you find out their destination?”
“If they’re using their real passports, yes. If they’re using different names, it’ll take time.”
“Everyone, listen up.”
The agents’ attention focused on Daniel.
“Stop everything you’re doing and handle this case first. Find out where these people are going. If the names don’t match, cross-reference with photos of everyone who booked tickets within 24 hours. Contact the relevant departments for cooperation. Let’s get started.”
“Yes sir!”
The control room became bustling with activity following the resounding response.
The space filled with keyboard noise and phone conversations.
Daniel, standing in the center of it all, let out a groan.
He had a bad feeling about this.
Usually, the results of such premonitions were terrible terrorist attacks or assassination incidents that would go down in history.
“Target 173’s destination confirmed! Incheon, South Korea!”
“Target 7,111 is the same!”
“What?”
Daniel frowned.
Incheon, South Korea – what an unexpected destination had popped up.
It was the country most distant from terrorism and assassination, so why?
Reports continued from other stations.
There was no need to hear more of the details.
All major surveillance targets were heading to Korea.
“Any possibility they’re transiting through Korea?”
It happens sometimes.
Cases where they include an unrelated country as a decoy.
“Not at this point. There are no tickets booked under the same names, and Korea isn’t a suitable transit point for switching to other transportation methods. The land route is also blocked by North Korea.”
Daniel drummed his fingers.
What on earth could be in Korea?
It was too distant a land to visit just for dinner.
“Team leader!”
An agent who had finished a phone call came running over.
Judging by his flushed face, he seemed to have heard something serious.
“It’s not one hundred percent certain, but…”
“Just say it quickly. It’s fine.”
“There are rumors that the Russian Special Forces Valkytch are on the move.”
Daniel and the other agents drew sharp breaths.
Silence descended over the control room.
It was inevitable.
Valkytch was a threat of a different caliber from the targets they were currently monitoring.
A unit whose exact numbers or members were unknown, with only occasional survivor testimonies being passed down.
If Valkytch, truly an invisible danger, was also heading to Korea, the situation was more serious than expected.
“Contact the US Embassy in Korea. Strengthen security for American personnel staying there… No, recommend they suspend external activities until we understand the situation. If Valkytch is involved, the security personnel there won’t be nearly enough.”
“Understood! Should we inform the Korean side?”
“Pass along the list of surveillance targets and tell them to prepare for terrorism.”
“Yes sir!”
Having finished giving orders, Daniel stared at the monitor.
Korea, a small country in Northeast Asia.
Despite its size, it possessed excellent economic and defense capabilities, but that was about it.
A peaceful nation that had lived a life distant from terrorism or war for the past half-century.
The people gathering there were entities far too overwhelming for such a country to handle.
Since nothing had happened yet, early intervention from their side was impossible.
So all they could do was hope.
That the damage wouldn’t be greater than expected.
[Entering the path to the 20th floor of the Mythic Tower, the magitech city ‘Etheropolice.’]
“It’s so cool!”
Momo’s eyes sparkled as she puffed out her breath.
Mohwang was right.
Etheropolice, visible in the distance, was more splendid than any city they had visited so far.
“Ho. It’s developed quite a lot, hasn’t it? When I first met them, magitech engineers were just eccentrics fiddling with simple mana circuits.”
“Granny. Please stop your magitech hatred.”
“It’s not magitech, it’s magitech engineering, you foolish raccoon.”
Momo scurried over and thrust her chubby face toward Ellia.
“What’s magitech engineering?!”
“Ahem! Magitech engineering, you see, is the study of using mana to generate magical power and using that magical power as energy to operate machines or buildings. If you add magical power to Gearheim that we visited on the 18th floor, you could roughly call it magitech engineering.”
“Then Etheropolice is more amazing than Gearheim?!”
“Well, it’s not necessarily like that.”
Ellia continued her explanation while kneading Momo’s cheeks.
“Gearheim implements all operations through technology, but magitech engineering just covers the core elements or power sources with magical power. Even if the technology is somewhat lacking, you can roughly patch things up with magical power! They probably couldn’t explain the principles if you asked them to.”
“What! That’s totally outdated!”
“Odongtongi’s vocabulary is dazzling, isn’t it? Very appropriate.”
Jinhyeok, who had been listening, swallowed dryly.
As Kancheo said, there seemed to be some magitech engineer hatred.
But anyway, why did the Tower make them enter so far away again?
Was it being capricious?
After giving the Tower a sharp look, he moved toward Etheropolice.
And at that moment.
Creeeeak.
A strange sound echoed from the darkness.
