The huge nine-story circular tower towers into the sky.

Altan Mage's Tower.

Otherwise it is called the cradle of the mages, a place where the mages gather, study and train.

He passed by the bronze statues of Quinta and Rahia, who are considered the greatest mages in history, before entering the Magic Tower.

On the second floor are sold a variety of magical devices, materials and spells.

It felt as if he was going to a supermarket.

A six-story display counter displays a variety of magic items, which are well organized.

"I'm so lucky. ”

Since he had his own notes to sell, he checked the market prices of other notes.

Spell books that teach fire or thunder and lightning tend to be on the expensive side, while water, wind, earth, etc., are much cheaper.

But they didn't sell Charly, which taught both the north wind and the cold snow, and the gale that taught Sharp. As a result, he was unable to obtain the exact price of the firearm.

Kang Ou walked towards the help desk.

There, a cute female mage in a lilac robe is dealing with customers.

"I happened to find a spell, is there any way to find its market price?" asked Conou.

The female mage smiled and said, "Yes. We are also willing to do consignment sales. Of course, we charge an 8% commission. ”

Conou took it out of his list.

"Please rate it. ”

"Please wait a moment. ”

When the female mage examined the handcuffs, her eyes sparkled with surprise.

"This ...... Where did you find it?"

"I didn't get it illegally. ”

He had just picked it up, and after all, it had no owner.

"Ah, that's not what I meant... Do you know anything about the person who wrote this?" the mage asked.

"Bessie?"

"You know!"

"Not really. ”

He felt that it would cause trouble, so he feigned ignorance.

"You're lying. You know!"

"I really don't. ”

"If you know anything about the north wind, Miss Bessie, then you must tell our professor!" the mage pleaded.

'Professor?'

The word "professor" piqued his interest. In the Mage Tower, a mage worthy of the title of professor means that their abilities are top-notch.

"Oops. What does that professor of yours have to do with Bessie?" Conou asked.

If there was blood between them, then he should not have introduced Belcy to them.

"I've heard they're friends who have adventures together. ”

"Friend, hehe......"

If so, then he has a right to know about Bessie's death.

"Can I see the professor? I have something to tell them about Ms. Bessie. Con said.

"I understand. Please follow me. ”

The female mage asked another nearby mage to take over the help desk and lead Conou away.

Conou and the mage take the magical escalator to the 8th floor.

That's where the professor's office is located, where only the professor is allowed to collect and learn magic.

There was a guard there, but thanks to the presence of a female mage, they were able to pass without any problems.

"Here. ”

He saw a red door decorated with silver. There was a sign on it that read "Gospel".

Knock, knock.

The mage knocked on the door.

"Professor, it's me, Rico. Can I come in?"

The female mage's name is Rico.

"Come in. ”

The voice came from within.

Rico opened the door and motioned for Cono to enter.

Con Ou entered the professor's office and looked around.

It's a huge study. The shelves are stacked with countless books.

In the center of the room there is a huge table with a variety of magic equipment, materials, and thick books.

Finally, there was a tall, scrawny, gray old man with glasses. He is like a stick.

"You should be working right now. Why are you here?" asked the old man.

Even as he spoke, he still stared at Conou.

"This is the Gospel Professor. ”

Rico politely pointed to the old man.

"It's... Ah, now that I think about it, I never knew your name. What's your name?" asked Rico, pointing to Conou.

"Conou. ”

"Well, that's why your name is Conou. Professor, this man said he knew what happened to Ms. Percy. ”

"What?"

The once carefully chosen expression of the gospel immediately changed.

"Do you really know what happened to Bessie?" asked Gospel enthusiastically.

"I do. ”

She ...... Where is she?"

His voice trembled.

It seems that the relationship between them is not normal.

"It's a long story. Would you like to sit down and listen?"

Cono pointed to the soft couch on the other side of the professor's office.

"Oh, go ahead and sit down. ”

Gospel slowly stood up and walked to the couch.

Conou conveyed the story of Percy and Baramute to the Gospel.

He tells her where she hid, how she spent the rest of her life, and how she died.

The expression of the gospel is changing from moment to moment.

At times, it was a look of yearning or sadness, but he was also relieved and thanked Conou for burying Baramute and Percy together.

"Can you show me the resentment that Bessie wrote?"

Conou took Percy's spell from his inventory and passed it on to the Gospel.

The Gospel was carefully taken away, as if he were raising a child, stroking it. After that, he browsed it.

Tears began to flow from his eyes.

"It's her handwriting. ”

The Gospel stroked the letters with his fingertips.

The Gospel says, "She is my first love and last love." ”

Conou didn't ask, but the Gospel was so deep that it came out.

"Oops. ”

Conou hadn't seen melodramas or romantic movies, so he coughed uncomfortably.

Nevertheless, the Gospel begins to talk about Percy.

About how they had adventures together as children, and how he fell in love with her and how he let her go without acknowledging his feelings.

Since then, the gospel, which is ashamed of itself, has been so engrossed in magic that it has even severed ties with Bessie.

Therefore, the gospel has been living at a time when she does not know whether she is dead or alive.

"I ...... If I'm a little brave, ......"

Eventually, he ended up blaming himself.

"Professor..."

Rico, who had been listening to the gospel stories next to them, wiped away his tears.

Conou was thinking about something else.

'This could be...'

This can be a great opportunity to sell handicrafts and souvenirs at a higher price.

"If that's the case, then ...... I believe you deserve to have this ceremonial or Percy's keepsake," Conou said.

"Are you alright?" Gospel asked, his face only a little bright.

"Oh, yes. I have that too. ”

Cono removed Percy's magician from his inventory.

"A gentle breeze lullaby!"

The Gospel immediately recognized the staff. He lifted the employee very carefully and inspected it for a while.

"Thank you. ”

The gospel bowed its head.

"There's no need. But it's not free. Con said.

"Of course. How much do you want from them?"

"It's up to you. Please pay me what you think they are valuable to you. ”

Kangou did not specify a specific price.

"That's idiot behavior. ”

For someone as pure as the Gospel, Bessie's memento is invaluable.

If so, it's best to let the gospel do the pricing.

Because Con'ou made the Gospel decide more than he should have accepted.

"To me, how much are they worth, huh...... I'll give it my all. The Gospel says without hesitation.

"His whole possessions!"

Con O's smile was forcefully suppressed and said as calmly as he could, "I'm ...... down".

However, he was not allowed to finish the game.

"You can't do that!"

Rico interrupted him.

Conou frowned and stared at Rico. "You're on your way!"

Ignoring Conou's glare and continued, "Twice the market price." This is more appropriate. ”

He did not know what the market price of the staff and handicrafts was, but it was definitely less than the entire property of the Gospels.

"It's twice the market price, isn't it? Then let's do it. ”

As soon as she heard the gospel, she felt that it was the right price.

Everything is southbound because of Rico.

But he remained calm.

It's stupid to try to bargain here.

He doesn't need to bargain.

Conou just had to make the gospel feel as if he needed to buy the items at a premium price.

"I'll give it to them for free. ”

That's bait.

"Free?" the Gospel repeats.

Why did he suddenly suddenly offer them for free?

"Instead of giving them to you cheaply, give them to you for free," Conou said. ”

"Cheap stuff......" Gospel muttered, frowning.

"I guess that's how much you value Ms. Bethsy, so...... Do not worry. ”

Conou insulted the pure love of the Gospel for Percy.

The face of the gospel has changed.

The Gospel says, "I will do my best." ”

"Professor!" quickly shouted Rico, who had been watching how things were going.

"If that's what you want. ”

Conou's gaze seemed to say, "I know your love is a lie".

"Oh. I'll give you this ring too. It's worth a lot. ”

The Gospel took off the ring and placed it on the table.

Silver and black intertwined, as if two vines were entwined.

"Calm down, Professor!" said Togo to the Gospel.

"Ah, get it for free. ”

Conou continued to make fun of the Gospel.

"Nope. Please accept. ”

"Professor!"

One person kept insisting that he not take the money, while the other begged him to do so. Then there was a woman who tried to stop the old man.

It's too confusing.

"It can't go on like this. ”

Rico realizes that things are not going well.

At this rate, the Gospel Professor would have given away his entire fortune to that bastard.

She needs to stop him before that happens. They can give up some, but there are things that need to be protected.

Rico said, "There seems to be a bastard...... Mistakes, those who do not want to receive, and those who have to give. ”

Conou and Gospel stared at her.

"Professor, please trade the two things you cherish for the staff and the gift giver. That's what Ms. Bessie wants!"

She made sure to emphasize Percy's name.

"I think so too. Con agreed.

"There's always the right time. ”

Since Rico's appearance, Conou realizes that he cannot access the full riches of the gospel.

Therefore, he renounced the fate of the gospel and sought instead objects whose gospel value was higher than his wealth.

"Items that match her souvenirs...... I only have two. This ring ......"

Gospel points to the ring.

"And ...... This necklace. ”

Gospel took off the necklace and gave it to him.

This necklace is shaped like a flame.

"I know. Exchange souvenirs for these two items. ”

Cono took the ring and necklace.

The Gospel lifted the ceremony and staff.

"Oh. I want to be alone now. Can you go? Rico, you too," he commanded.

Conou didn't want to live anymore.

"Had a great day," Conou said.

Rico said: "If you ...... Need my help, please call me. ”

"I'll always be on your way. ”

Conou and Rico left him alone and left the professor's office.

After the door closed, Rico glared at Conou.

"Bastard. ”

Conou had tried to deceive the gospel. If she hadn't been there, he would have spent all of his professor's possessions.

"You're right. I'm a jerk. ”

"If you're always considerate of others like an idiot, give up on things, and always be on the losing side, that means being a good person, and then I don't want to be a good person. I'd rather be a jerk. ”

Ever since he lost his father and was forced to become the head of the family at a young age, this is the philosophy he has been living by.

"What?"

She looked speechless. me!?

"You were the one who first led me to him. Almost begging me. ”

"T-that's..."

"And you're the one who made me lose the opportunity to teach all my possessions. How are you going to repay me for that?" said Conou.

"That's completely wrong......"

"That's wrong? Why? Do I want it? Who is that professor who said he would give me all my possessions, idiot. ”

"Idiot?"

Rico's face turned red with anger.

"Whatever. Let's never see each other again. ”

Conou sees no further discussion as pointless. He immediately moved forward.

He heard "You bastard!" from behind him, but he ignored it. In any case, he would never see her again.

"Well, let's see what's here. ”

Conou examines the items he received from the Gospel.

[Kunda's Gold Ring]

The legendary archmage Quinta has been wearing such rings since he was a child.

Quinta is not only good at magic but also martial arts. This ring encompasses the endless talents of Kunta himself.

+ Quinta Talent 1: When you use a skill or spell, there is a fixed chance that a spontaneous quest will appear. If you clear the spontaneous quest, you will gain a large number of skills or magical abilities.

+ Quinta Talent 2: Cut the cooldown of each skill and spell in half.

Rank: SS

Ability: None

Minimum Requirements: None

Conou's eyes widened.

"SS grade!"

He received an SS ring.

It doesn't add to his stats as much as defense or offense, but it's definitely a terrific ring.

After all, proficiency is the hardest thing for Arth to improve!

As an added bonus, this will give him spontaneous tasks that radically increase his proficiency!

Not only that, but this will also cut the cooldowns of all his spells and skills in half!

Finally, there are no minimum requirements for equipping it.

''I want to know how much I can sell this for.'' It's probably more than I thought. Not that I have any intention of selling it right away.

It's wiser than selling it now.

Conou immediately put on the ring and extended his finger so that he could see it more clearly.

"Hey. ”

His face was filled with joy.

It felt like all the energy in the universe had come to him. So far, everything has been incredible for him!

Add!

"There's one more. ”

Conou took out the flame-like necklace he had received from the Gospels.
