William followed Alyna as she climbed to the upper floors of the tower. As William watched Alyna's back, he involuntarily had obscene thoughts. Especially after being with Seren, his desire in that direction increased greatly. Seren was like a locksmith who opened the door for him. And it was up to his will to keep the now unlocked door closed or open. Moreover, it became more and more difficult for him to keep the door open because of something inside of him that he did not know.After climbing two floors, something happened to William that made him forget his obscene thoughts. He began to see official mages, not apprentices. He couldn't remember ever seeing so many official mages in the tower.While most of them gave him a casual feeling, they were all of them were Grand Knights and also official mages. He thought more and more that he had underestimated the power of the tower.One floor later, they came to the door of a large room. It was a big door that opened on two sides. As soo
Of course, William had not intentionally shown his full strength. If he had, he was sure that even the second-rank official mage would have a hard time seeing him.Einor's look was a bit strange. Unable to contain his excitement, he stood up. He examined the elements around William. It is not just one element. There is light, wind, fire, metal and even some earth. 'How strange. Is there something I don't know?'Einor had thousands of different ideas running through his head, and he desperately tried to answer them all. After seeing William's heart, he decided to do some more research. It seemed that he had to work harder. He had to look for secrets he didn't know, and discover new ways. This was no longer about strengthening the heart. It was something else entirely. Maybe it was a power that could compete with some powers.Then Einor sat down and spoke calmly. "Okay, William. We thank you. After leaving the gate of the tower, you are no longer our apprentice. You are free to go where
On the top of a beautiful mountain, accompanied by little singing animals, the old man opened his eyes. This man was the seer named Ymo, whom the Monarch called the old turtle. Two of the last teeth in his mouth had fallen out, and now he had only two teeth left. One was at the bottom and one was at the top.While he was meditating, something disturbed him, but when he opened his eyes, he started to smile.Meanwhile, a boy who saw his smile and was meditating in the same way spoke."Master Ymo! What happened? Did he do something? What did he do?" The boy asked with great curiosity."Oh, nothing. He was saved at the last moment when he was about to catch a sickness. That disease is still in his body, but it will not bother him for a long time." Ymo laughed. Then he waved his hand and a wine jug appeared in his hand. He drank more than ten sips at once."Master, you mustn't drink too much anymore. Your eyes are getting worse, and you only have two teeth left. This heart-supresing wine i
After a month...William, Cody, Brian, and Myles were riding through the forest on a three-jointed creature with long legs, a long head, and a long tail.They were moving slowly through the forest. They had set up their last camp last night and planned to spend the night in the White City."We're almost there! Who's excited?" Cody asked with a laugh.Everyone shouted 'me' at once.Even William had to admit that he was excited. His view of the world had changed a bit since he had met this group. On the way, they had encountered everyone from common bandits trying to rob mages to third-rank apprentice-level bandits. With each week's journey, the surrounding flora changed, and the types of creatures changed accordingly.Since their previous mounts had fallen victim to the attacks of predatory creatures, they bought these mounts in the city of Yliwood. They cost one hundred soul stones each, and they were worth their money. Although they had worthless blood in William's opinion, their str
The quartet following the young man soon encountered unexpected sights. As dusk began to fall, women in particular, wearing heavy makeup, began to take to the streets.As night fell, the sounds of music from many of the surrounding taverns began to fill the streets. Strangely enough, the direction in which they walked became more and more crowded. They soon understood why." Sirs, please watch your actions from now on. This is a place called the slums. There are so many illegal organizations in this city, and some of them even have permission from the White Tower. It's much easier to do something illegal here than in other places because there are never enough guards. The young apprentice smiled and informed the quartet.William was suspicious of this young apprentice. At first, he thought that this young apprentice had taken them to such scary places for no reason. But after almost ten minutes of walking, their suspicions about the young apprentice disappeared.He had shown them more
[Twenty square meter shop. In empty and clean condition. Location: Inns Street. Rent: 9,500 soul stones per month]"Great location, but unnecessarily expensive."[Sixty square meter shop. Needs some renovation. It is full and will be emptied in a week. Cleaning is the renter's responsibility. Location: Blacksmith Street. Rent: 3000 soul stones per month]."The price is cheap, but this is not the right place for my shop. "There should be a cleaner place somewhere."William thought and kept looking. The shop he wanted to rent had to be in a somewhat crowded place, and at the same time, it had to be a place where all kinds of customers could pass by. Not only that, but he also needed to save on lodging and have another room to stay in for the shop's security. William noticed that there was a lot of theft when he walked the streets one night.Not only mages, but even ordinary people were confident and bold in their stealing. Especially in the slums, nights were not uncommon when guards we
The next day, William opened his shop full of hope. The sun had just risen and was shining brightly in the sky, letting him know that the day was going to be good. William closed the shelves and, after removing the opening date from the shop door, hung a sign that said "open."Then he began to wait. In a short time, people began to fill Adventurers Street. This was always a busy street anyway, and he saw people doing a lot of shopping in the shops here. Even he had been wandering around these shops to check out the market without being noticed. He knew that his biggest competitor was the auction house to his right.Contrary to William's expectations, even though an hour had passed and the streets were full of people, most people had just taken a quick look at his shop and passed by without going in.William thought he would have to be patient for the first customer to arrive and waited patiently.But it was not what he expected. No customers came until almost the afternoon. This was a
William stared down at the paper in his hand. He wondered what kind of trouble the "S" grade could bring. It should not be forgotten that even Gorroud's shop across the street had only a "B" grade.Still, with some excitement and anticipation, William hung the four notes in his hand at the entrance of the shop. The best of them, the one with an "S", was for making potions. There was even an explanation written under the note.The explanation was as follows.[Potions with an effectiveness of 35% or more can be found here. Approved by White City].His other grades weren't bad either. He received an "A" grade for weapons and armour and a "B" grade for spell scrolls and arrays. It was obvious that the potions he would be selling were the ones that could make him famous.It didn't take long for William to get his first customer after he hung the notes in the shop window."Ding." He remembered seeing this customer on this street before. He was someone who took one look at his shop and left,
