I could clearly observe the shift in Tunka’s expression. His eyes blinked blankly for a moment, then his face gradually contorted as recognition dawned.
“I’ve lost.”

Yet his voice emerged with remarkable composure. I responded to him.

“Still, it was a warrior’s fight.”

Tunka stared at me blankly for a moment, then his lips gradually curved upward. The sight was rather grotesque. His face was bruised and battered in countless places—already orcish in appearance, it now resembled a mutated troll. His entire visage was swollen and discolored with contusions.

I found that face so distasteful that I turned away from Tunka. Then I heard his voice.
Tunka commanded Pelia.

“A new warrior has emerged today!”

His resounding voice drew soldiers toward the pit. Anticipation gleamed in the Tribal Warriors’ faces. They showed neither contempt for their unconscious leader nor hostility toward Choi Han.

Warrior.
A magnificent title incomparable to mere mages. And such a warrior had emerged.

“There will be a toast tonight! Get ready for it!”

thud. thud. thud. The tribesmen stamped their feet. At the same time, they cheered for Choi Han and Tunka. Because of these actions, the tribesmen were criticized as barbarians, but Kale was just like that.

Of course, because Choi Han severely destroyed Tunka, the morale of some soldiers is low, and some of them in quite high positions will be hostile to Cale and the others.

‘But it’s none of my business, right?’

All I had to do was pack what I needed and leave. Cale could hear Tunka’s words to Choi Han behind him.

“Warrior! Next time I will definitely kill you! Hahahaha!”

Cale could see Choi Han’s face crumpled as if he was tired. In ‘Birth of a Hero’, Choi Han was very tired of Toonka. And Cale was able to take a step back when he heard the voice that followed.

“I broke it less to prepare for the next two months!”

It was said that they were going to see the Magic Tower.
I climbed out of the pit and patted the pallid Bilos on the shoulder.

“Billos.”
“Bilos.”
“Yes.”

Billos expressed a bit of doubt, but quickly agreed and pointed to the other person with his hand.

“Yes, but there is someone I would like to introduce first.”

Kale looked at the person Billos’ hand was pointing to. Brown hair and brown eyes. An extremely ordinary face. This person looks so ordinary and common, but is actually rare to see.

“Prince, this is Chief of Staff Herol. He is currently leading the Federation as Chief of Staff.”

Herol. He was an indispensable figure in this non-mage league.

“Nice to meet you, Prince Cale. My name is Herol.”

Commoners in the Weeper Kingdom were not given last names. Cale held out his hand to him.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Kale.”

Herol gently held Cale’s outstretched hand and whispered lowly.

“Captain Tunka said he would sell the magic tower, and it turns out he was Prince Cale.”

Cale let go of the hand he was shaking with a smile without any response.
Kale released the hand he had been shaking with a smile, offering no particular response.

However, he was one of the original members of the League of Non-Wizards.

Wizards who played with not only the royal family but also the kingdom’s citizens in the palm of their hands just by virtue of their authority as wizards. He who tried to save the kingdom’s citizens from them was like a hero to the non-mage league people and the kingdom’s citizens.

Rather, because he was an ordinary person, people followed him. Tunka and Herol. The combination of these two was nothing short of hope for the people of the Weeper Kingdom.

“It is an honor to meet you. I think we will have to have a deep conversation in the future.”

A non-mage league that needs money. Herol will want to extract as much money as possible from Cale.
The Non-Mage Alliance needed funds. Herrol would surely want to extract as much money as possible from Kale.

-Is he a liar?

As expected, the dragon was sharp. Cale answered Herol softly.

“I guess so.”

Unfair trade. It started with Herol rather than Tunca.

Cale stood at the entrance to the Magic Tower and raised his gaze upward.
Kale stood at the entrance of the Magic Tower, lifting his gaze upward.

‘It’s better than I thought.’

Tunka destroyed less magic towers than expected. In particular, there was less damage to the exterior walls. Of course, all the windows were broken and the inside was a mess.

‘This is not the real Magic Tower.’

Kale turned his gaze from the magic tower and looked at Tunka.

“Are you coming in too?”

Tunka’s face distorted at his question.

“Are you crazy enough to go into a dirty place like that?”

Dirty place. Tunca, a famous building in the West Continent, was said to be a dirty place. Because it was a building filled with the hard work and blood of the tribesmen and kingdom people.

“Herol will guide you.”

While saying that, Tunka glanced at Vicross, Hilsman, the Wolf Children, and Lark. It’s probably because it smells strong in its own way. At the same time, he kept glancing at the two kittens in Cale’s arms.

He then looked at Choi Han who was talking to Rosalyn and finally said something to Cale.

“He’s amazing because he’s weak.”

Cale simply ignored it. But Tunka kept throwing it.

“A weak guy who looks strangely strong.”

But Tunka could say no more. This is because Choi Han was staring at Toonka. When Choi Han looked at Tunka, he smiled brightly, as if showing his teeth, and approached him.

“Why do you want to fight?”

Choi Han sighed and ignored it. Cale watched what Tunka and Choihan were doing, and finally saw Billos and Herol having a conversation, and then petted the cats in his arms and hummed softly as if singing a song.

“Let’s catch mice, let’s catch mice. How many?”

On in his arms moved his front paws.
On, cradled in his arms, moved her front paw.

Cale spoke in a flowing manner.

“Don’t get hurt. Because life is precious.”

Hong snorted and moved his front paw. Tap, tap. He knocked twice and his tail moved softly. On looked at the smiles on Cale and Hong’s lips and shook his head. As time went on, the two’s mischievous smiles became more similar.
Hong snorted and moved his front paw. Tap, tap. He tapped twice, and his tail swished back and forth. On watched the mischievous smiles spreading across Kale’s and Hong’s faces and shook her head in disapproval. As time went on, their impish grins grew more and more alike.

At that time, a secret voice came into Cale’s head.

-Shall I follow you too? human being.

On a rare occasion, he asked Cale if he wanted to follow along. Cale shook his head resolutely. He whispered softly as if he was speaking sweetly to cats.

“You have to catch something different from me.”

The kittens and the black dragon, who saw Cale’s expression when he said the word ‘other’, kept their mouths shut. Because it looked fun too.

Soon, Herol and Tunka came to Cale’s side. Tunka pointed to Herol. His attitude was very friendly.

“Our chief of staff will guide you. And Pelia will be with you.”

Felia must have been appointed as Herol’s bodyguard. Cale nodded and asked.

“Have the corpses of the wizards been removed from the magic tower?”
“Have you cleared out the corpses of the Mages from inside the Magic Tower?”

I thought so. Cale’s face was calm. At that time, Raon’s voice was heard.

-You’re only afraid of mermaid corpses. I will stop the mermaids from approaching later.

… Mermaids aren’t scary either. Cale didn’t bother to answer. Because you will never see a mermaid.

Tunka glanced at Cale’s calm face and blurted out.

“These are people who don’t need comforting their souls.”

comfort of the soul. It meant cremation.
Spiritual comfort. It meant cremation.
The Tribal Warriors burned the corpses of mages whenever possible—whether due to plague or other reasons. Of course, there were also bodies with severed heads rolling about, but those too would soon be burned.

‘He probably killed the most of the kingdom’s citizens.’

What is most needed for magical devices to advance?
What is most necessary for magical devices to advance?
Experimentation.
Then who are the experimental subjects?

There were so many wizards who carried out experiments without evidence.

“Of course, later, when the kingdom’s wizards dry up, I plan to clean it up. Without leaving a trace.”

Tunka muttered a rare promise. But Cale didn’t pay much attention to those words.

All the wizards in the Magic Tower died, but not all the wizards in the Weeper Kingdom died.

‘The magic towers are wizards belonging to the Wizards’ League.’

They are authoritarian and greedy. A tower ultimately determines the top and bottom. Those standing on top enjoyed looking down.

However, there were wizards who were far from such power and greed. In particular, there were many who became disillusioned with politics and went into hiding. Those people are probably holding their breath and thinking about how to escape the Weeper Kingdom and where to go.

The person who became their shield was Albert Crossman. He was the crown prince. The crown prince easily takes control of wizards who hate politics, are far from power, and only like to explore magic.

Kale asked Tunka.

“Can I come in?”

Cale put the cats in his arms on the ground. I will hide later and explore. All you had to do was open the entrance door.

Choi Han and Bcross stood behind Cale. As Vicross stood behind him, Kale looked at him with a puzzled look. However, Vicross looked at the messed-up Toonka with an expression of considerable disgust.

“Herol.”
“Herrol.”

I’m sorry. The door to the magic tower opened. Cale’s brow furrowed. He said something to Herol and Tunka, who were looking at him.

“My rotten self is vibrating.”

1st floor of Magic Tower. As soon as the door was opened, there was a decomposed body wearing a golden robe symbolizing the lord of the magic tower and other items symbolizing the magic tower were broken. Cale said, feeling sick of the madness of those who did such crazy things.

“Open the door for ventilation. I can’t smell like this.”

He said to Tunka.

“And cover it. I have weak nerves so I can’t look at a corpse for long.”

Tunka snorted and motioned to the soldier guarding the entrance. Cale turned white, but after looking at the calm look in Rosalyn’s eyes, he left her and the others and entered the magic tower.

Immediately Choi Han stood in front of him and Vicross stood behind him.

“Would you like me to guide you through each floor?”
“Shall I guide you through each floor?”
“Chief Strategist.”
“Yes.”

There was no need to look anywhere else.

“…the top?”
“…The top, sir?”
“I’m curious about the view from the highest point looking down. The Tower Master’s chamber. Let’s start from there.”

The only magical device currently operating within the Magic Tower. Cale got on a transportation device that worked well even without a wizard. He will send the group up to the 20th floor at once.

“You somehow didn’t break this.”
“Remarkable that they didn’t destroy this one.”

Herol answered softly, but Cale snorted inwardly at his answer.
Herrol answered gently, but Kale swallowed a silent scoff at his response.
Whoooosh.
With a brief vibration, the only magical device in the Magic Tower activated. The platform upon which Kale and his party stood rose slowly upward. And finally, it came to a stop at the very top.

“Is that the magic tower owner’s room?”
“Is that the Magic Tower Master’s chamber?”

Cale did not answer Herol’s call and took the first step.
Kale did not answer Herrol’s call and stepped forward first.

Suddenly. The door opened and the magic tower’s room was revealed.

“It’s a mess.”

Cale’s indifferent opinion fell among the group.

A space large enough to occupy an entire floor appeared.
A space vast enough to occupy an entire floor appeared before them.

Everything in the Magic Tower’s room was broken. And blood was splattered all over it. It looked like blood had been sprinkled on purpose.

“That’s a mess. Chief of Staff, can I go up to that window?”

The only token symbolizing the magic tower’s room. Only the view from the highest point shown by the large window was intact.

“Yes, as much as you want. I will guide you.”
“Of course. I shall guide you.”
“I’d like to think quietly for a moment. Would it be impossible to go alone?”

As Herol expressed his disapproval, Choi Han walked away from the magic tower master’s room and stood in front of the mobile device.

“I will stay here.”

Vicross also went and stood next to him. He seemed glad that he didn’t end up in such a horrible mess. Felia, who was left behind, expressed his disapproval. Soon, Herol spoke with a determined expression.

“Pelia, I will take the Prince and return. Prince, would you mind spending five minutes with me?”
“Lady Pelia, I shall accompany His Highness and return shortly. Your Highness, would five minutes suffice?”
“That should be enough. Leave one of the doors open. That way, everyone can feel assured.”

Cale smiled kindly at Felia’s greeting.

The magic tower’s room was opened by doors on both sides. Leaving one of them open, Kale entered the magic tower’s room. 20th floor. Since he used the entire floor as his own room, the magic tower’s room was very spacious.
The Tower Master’s chamber had two doors, and Kale opened one of them to step inside. The twentieth floor. Since he used an entire level solely for his own quarters, the Tower Master’s chamber was extraordinarily spacious.

‘Choi Han might hear it. ‘I don’t mind if he listens.’

Kale walked across the magic tower room where everything was broken. Books, desks, chairs, carpets. Everything had become trash.
Kale crossed through the Tower Master’s chamber where everything lay in ruins. Books, desks, chairs, carpets—all had become debris.

“You destroyed everything?”

Herol calmly answered the question Cale asked.

“Of course. It’s where the most vicious humans were. It’s where the monsters created by Mana were.”

A monster created by Mana. wizard.

-liar.

The black dragon Raon grumbled in an exasperated voice, but Kale didn’t care. Instead, he whispered to Herol, who stood next to him. Herol’s secret that no one knew until now.

“So you’re a wizard too, right?”

A being that can feel mana, but its heart rejects it. A mix of tribesman and wizard. The most unlucky mana user.
A being who could sense mana but whose heart rejected it. A half-blood between Tribal Warrior and Mage. The most unfortunate user of mana.

“Chief of Staff, no.”

Kale placed her hand on Herol’s pale shoulder and called out to him.

“Herrol Codian.”

It’s scary when a smart guy goes crazy, he said about Harold Codian.

“Don’t you want to erase all traces of your father?”

A being that the magic tower lord Pfister Codian did not know about. His bloodline was born without him knowing.
Tower Master Pisster Codian—an existence he never knew. His bloodline, born without his knowledge.

“How did you know?”

Cale spoke lightly to the monster who asked with a pale smile.

“I’ll listen to your answer first.”

Buy the magic tower. There was no need to say this. Cale told Herol’s wish.

“I’ll get rid of the magic tower. What do you think?”
