World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 220 Betrayal of the Mage Tower (2)

Magic that uses mana to shake the laws of the natural world and realize one's will in the world.

It was none other than the transcendence dragon that first created this kind of magic.

“A long time ago, magic that was said to be the exclusive property of dragons was passed on to other races, including humans. The concept of magic, which they spread to the world while enjoying play, changed over time through numerous studies and improvements to suit humans, and was able to develop into its current state.”

Magic that has been modified and developed over many years into a version of humans by humans, only for humans. However, unlike dragons, which have insight into the complex laws and cycles of Mother Nature that far exceed human intelligence, humans' magic has literally reached its limit.

“Even if it has developed that much, it's still focused on completely insignificant low-level magic. Didn't high-ranking magic dare to touch it, and there wasn't much progress in the knowledge derived from those lizards?”

“It can't be helped. Unlike low-circle magic, in the case of high-ranking magic, there is a high risk of suffering life-or-death damage even with a simple experiment failure.”

From Circle 1 to Circle 4, which is an area that humans could touch... No, in the case of geniuses from the sky who were born very occasionally, they could touch and improve even Circle 5, but there was no such case from magic beyond Circle 6. .

“That's why wizards aren't crazy about high-level magic. Because they don't have the ability to create high-level magic, there's no way to learn other than the magic books released by the lizards.”

Arcadia's system where there is no big problem with the low circle, but the difficulty of learning increases exponentially as the level goes up. While listening to the story of Tan and L, Jaeyoung could understand why playing as a wizard was so hard and why the difficulty of acquiring magic books became extremely high from the 5th circle onwards.

“So those wizards just went completely blind?”

Jaeyoung took out two magic books.

Dozens of books of each type were stuck in Kervenian's rares, so I took them out without much thought, but the ripples were greater than I could have imagined.

[We will bring the dragon's skull back in its entirety! Please wait a little bit!]

All of the casually thrown comments were different, but anyway, the wizards of the 5th Mage Tower told me not to worry and just wait because they will bring it. Jaeyoung was confused for a moment at the excessive reaction of rushing out of the restaurant without eating, but thanks to Tan and L's explanation, he was able to understand their reaction a little bit.

“What was it that was so valuable? I didn't expect it to be like this.”

Jaeyoung grumbled at the thought that the reward was too excessive, as he saw the 5 Magic Towers rushing forward to give up Dragonborn and betray the Harmel Empire, one of the superpowers in the entire continent.

“of course. I don't know until the 7th circle, but from the 8th circle the magic is completely different. I've only heard of this kind of disaster-level magic, but I'm sure it never spilled over to humans.”

“okay....? Then what was Merlin?”

At L’s words, Jaeyoung recalled the 8th circle magic he used himself in the past.

Poseia, a fortress that boasted a strong and huge iron fortress that would not collapse even after thousands of years. The 8th circle magic that swallowed up the fortress, which was the pride of the Shoen Empire and the core of its maritime power.

Tidal Wave.

Jaeyoung was able to cast this because the hero of the past called Merlin, who was none other than a human, knew the magic, so Jaeyoung asked with a curious face. Then El responded with a smile.

“That case is a little special. Merlin is the apprentice who was raised by the Dragon Lord of that time.”

“what....?”

“Lizards are like that sometimes, the owner. Taking a human or a different race you like, kidnapping it, raising it as a disciple or something, using it as an attendant, or watching and playing with it.”

The bad taste of dragons who catch people who are on the verge of dying in crisis or who are frustrated due to lack of talent, treat them, and grant them transcendental power beyond the limit, and then watch the humans do something.

Of course, it would be a rare opportunity for the person involved, but since the intention was purely for their fun, Tan's face was dissatisfied.

“Anyway, they're real bullies. Well, even if we just want to share a little strength with humans, we need a lot of probability, so we babble, but damn lizards throw whatever they like and go around doing all kinds of fuss...” “Because they belong to different

realms That's it, you stupid bastard.”

“Shut up, chicken wings. Still, unfair is unfair.”

Tan and L try to fight again. However, Jaeyoung didn't say anything, just smiled and turned his head away.

“hey....? Are you both okay?”

Jae-young, who was unable to pay attention to Apple and Lemon while listening to what Tan and L were talking about. However, I don't know when it started, but when he saw the two of them sitting with their mouths open in a daze, completely lost in their bewilderment, Jaeyoung asked with a puzzled look.

“Why is there a problem?”

Apple and lemon completely frozen as if time had stopped. The two of them looked as if they were in shock, as if they had made a promise.

“Circle 8...?”

“I can't believe it.....”

Apple and Lemon playing as merchants.

That's why the two of them knew better than anyone else the value of the magic book that Jaeyoung casually took out. And I was astonished.

‘That kind of thing is handed over just for the sake of the Dragon Bone...?'

‘Even if there was only one book, the entire continent would be turned upside down, but even two books...?'

An 8th circle magic book that has never been officially revealed. Perhaps even with the magic book that Jaeyoung brought out, there were many countries or groups that would go to war with their eyes turned over, so Apple and Lemon said that Dragonborn was precious, but they couldn't understand Jaeyoung's behavior of offering such a ridiculous exchange price.

‘Wait a minute..... But where the hell did these things come from...? no way....?'

‘Isn't it? It won't be.....'

As they thought about it, an assumption passed through Apple and Lemon's heads.

Red Dragon Kervenian.

An old dragon-class dragon and a transcendent species with tremendous fighting power that no one can match. Although it was a trick, Dex managed to kill such an ignorant opponent with a bamboo spear.

The thought that even the developers did something unexpected, and the reward received by Dex would not have been ‘only' a dragon's skull.

“Hey... Mr. Dex.”

So, Apple gulped and asked Jaeyoung with a nervous face.

“Ho, by any chance, the reward you got from killing Cervenian... isn’t that all?”

A question asked out of curiosity and half anticipation. At Apple's question, he asked back with a wicked grin.

“well? What do you think?”

* * *

GM Group.

Construction, e-insurance, finance, food distribution..... All of them have grown into one of the conglomerates supporting the economy of Korea through aggressive and octopus-like expansion.

[Korea's economy is heavily influenced by a small number of chaebol companies. Of course, in the case of Ajin Group, it would be an exemplary example of giving back to society and contributing a lot to social circulation and contribution through large-scale employment policies, but there are many cases where this is not the case, so this economic structure eventually becomes a problem.] Compared to Azin Group

, The GM group always listens to all the swear words.

It wasn't usually a very good image, but the reason why their image broke through the floor and fell into the basement was because of the top of GM.

[Well, let's leave aside issues such as handing over the supply of the agency or slashing the unit price of partner companies. No matter how much it is a game, is it insane that a famous company instigates a war and tries to make a profit through it?

] No matter how much competition is content, they don't hesitate to terrorize competitors. Would it be different in reality?] An

act of inciting war in the Maroon Kingdom. And the power struggle towards the top of the pie.

Those two incidents alone dealt a blow to GM Group's image. But even so, the top of GM was fine.

Because the owner of the top was also the youngest son, the sore finger of Chairman Choi Chun-shik, and he was earning a lot of gold no matter what the process was. They did not receive support from the GM group, but they managed to survive.

But...

Quaang.

The door opened violently and people in suits rushed in. The employees at the top of GM were shocked and shouted at the sight of them suddenly appearing and forcibly shutting down Dreamer's device.

“What is this? Stop right now.”

“Who is it! What are you guys doing here right now! uh?”

“Lord of the four tops! Lord of the top!”

People who do their job in silence despite the staff's dissuade. Not long after, Jegyu came out of an office and shouted.

“What are you guys up to! What are you doing? Won't you stop right now?”

As soon as he came out, Jegyu yelled at him to stop with a flushed face. However, he spat out curse words at the behavior of those who were recklessly moving important documents and equipment while ignoring his words.

“These bastards... hey!”

Quaang.

Jegyu violently kicked the desk in front of him. As a result, one computer body was scattered on the floor and was terribly broken with a loud sound. And at that moment, the heavy voice of a middle-aged man came to Jegyu's ears.

“Be careful what you do, young man. Everything here is the property of the GM Group. If you damage it again, we have no choice but to take action.”

Jaegyu turned around at the voice. And when he recognized who was standing in front of him, he shouted with his eyes wide open.

“Non-chief secretary? Why are you here...? no wait. Then all these people here right now...?”

The strategic secretary office that is directly under Chairman Choi Chun-shik's bodyguard and oversees the entire GM group.

Jae-gyu suddenly realized the situation he was in, and his face twisted horribly at the fact that the head of the secretary, who was in charge of the place and received orders from Chairman Choi Chun-sik, came to visit him.

“Is this what the president ordered you to do?”

“That's right.”

The chief of staff gave a brief answer to Jegyu's question, nodding his head as if he had noticed what Jegyu's question was. However, as if he didn't understand why he made such a decision, Jaegyu shook his head as if he couldn't understand.

“The president and I speak directly. For now, please go back.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that will work, young man. The instructions I have been given are firm.”

“Fuck! You said I'd talk!”

Quaang.

Jegyu shouts, overturning a desk again, as if he couldn't hold back his anger. However, unlike him who was excited, the chief of staff looked at him with a pitying gaze. And he spoke to Jegyu in a calmer and calmer voice than ever before.

“No matter what you do, you should have kept the line that the young master can handle. This one has crossed the line.”

“what....? What the hell are you talking about?”

Jae-gyu felt confused when the chief of staff said that what he had done in the game had something to do with Chairman Choi Chun-shik's decision. The control of public opinion was perfect, and it passed without even becoming an issue to the extent that it was incomparable to the previous one. Since he even took the lead in the main scenario, there were a lot of flower paths ahead, but Jae-gyu couldn't understand his words that he had crossed the line.

“For details, talk directly to the president. pull it out.”

“Hey... Hey! won't you let this go? This bastard... Hey! hey!”

At the words of the chief of staff, Jae-gyu is dragged somewhere with both arms grabbed by the staff in the secretary's office. Fear was seen on the faces of the employees who watched him from behind as he struggled to resist somehow, but was eventually dragged out of the office.

cooong.

The office door closes tightly as he exits. And the chief of staff looked around at the existing staff who remained inside and said.

“You have to help us do one thing.”

“A job...?”

“Don't be too anxious. It won't be that difficult.”

Employees puzzled when told they have a job to do. With a kind smile towards them, the chief secretary declared to everyone.

“From now on, dispose of all assets in the game by any means possible. Leave no traces of the so-called GM corps, and everything.”

That is the end of GM.
