But, looking at Lexion’s attitude today, it would be absolutely unreasonable.
Besides, the biggest problem…
Just looking at Lexion, her heart started racing again.
****
Two days later, in the morning.
Elena has been busy these past two days trying to get through the aftermath of her birthday.
Fortunately, Lexion was also busy, so there were no sudden visits to her laboratory.
She sighed in relief and took the minutes of the meeting.
Today was the Magic Tower’s regular meeting.
Knock—
As she was about to leave the laboratory, the door opened.
“Elena, are you ready?”
“Yes, teacher.”
Following Jeremy, Elena quickly moved forward.
The Magic Tower’s regular meeting was held every quarter, and the Archmage convened the Magic Tower’s executives to deliver key issues.
The executives of the Magic Tower consisted of the owner of each tower, the chief researchers, and the general team leaders of each field.
Since Elena was the Chief Researcher of the West Tower, she was entitled to attend the regular meeting of the Magic Tower.
On the way to the conference room with Jeremy.
She suddenly remembered the time she attended her first regular meeting.
‘At that time, I was a nervous wreck.’
After the meeting, she realized that there was nothing special and she was exhausted.
Recalling the days she missed, they arrived in front of the conference room.
Inside was a very large round table.
Elena and Jeremy greeted those close friends of theirs who arrived first at the meeting and sat down in their assigned seats.
After some time passed and the round table was full, the Archmage appeared.
She appeared in the middle of the empty table.
Elena stared blankly at Karen, who suddenly appeared in the air.
‘As expected of the Archmage!’
The Archmage was the only wizard who could use teleport without much effort.
Of course, there were a few others who could use teleportation in the tower except for Elena.
However, their teleportation range was short and unskilled.
But the Archmage was different.
Befitting the title of an Archmage, she was able to travel quite a distance and was said to be quite skilled.
‘It’s a story I’ve heard from Jeremy, but…’
While Elena was busy smiling and admiring Karen.
Karen made a light gesture.
A tall chair in the conference room flew from her motion.
Eventually, the chair fell to the floor for Karen to sit on.
The Archmage, as usual, sat down on the chair.
And gestured again.
At Karen’s gesture, Jacob, the owner of the East Tower, stood up.
Jacob was also close friends with Elena and Jeremy.
Now in his mid-40s, he was considered a middle-aged man.
‘I don’t like the beard, but…’
He was handsome like a mature man.
Elena looked at Jacob, her eyes twinkling.
“Report.”
Karen’s languid voice continued, and Jacob started reporting.
“Some time ago, a suspicious movement was detected on the Black Continent.”
Black Continent.
These two words caused the Executives to murmur.
Unlike the White Continent, the Black Continent was closed off and infested with demons.
And a suspicious movement was caught in such a place.
Elena tensed up as she held the quill.
“According to the investigator belonging to our East Tower, someone has started using demons.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the gossip grew louder and turned into buzzing.
They had no choice but to do so.
‘A monster is a creature without intelligence.’
They were monsters stronger than humans, but because they had no intelligence, humans could fight them.
But if someone was ordering them.
‘It means they have the knowledge to control those demons.’
It would cause the worst possible scenario.
This wasn’t just a problem for the Magic Tower.
All living creatures in the White Continent would be threatened.
Elena’s fiddled with her fingers anxiously.
At that moment, Karen, who was watching the situation, opened her mouth.
“Quiet.”
At her words, the conference room became silent as if cold water had been poured on it.
“Jacob, did your investigator properly see someone wielding a demon?”
“That, that…”
At Karen’s question, Jacob stuttered.
“When the investigator looked down from the sky, they said that a human was among the demons. And that the demon did not attack him, but rather followed the movement of his hand.”
“I see. It is a phenomenon that has never occurred before. A demon not attacking a human. It can be seen as beating a demon.”
At Karen’s words, the executives were relieved.
But her words did not end there.
“But there is no evidence that he is not using a demon.”
The wizards were engulfed in silence.
“So it is necessary to investigate the Black Continent in detail.”
