How to Live as an Illegal Healer

58. Crimson Magic Tower 1

Kamar is a city built in the middle of a lake. Due to the nature of the terrain, it is difficult for monsters to approach, and the Crimson Magic Tower spreads a barrier to protect the city, so it is safest in the western region.

‘That’s why taxes are so expensive.’

Like this, as much as the crimson mage tower was responsible for the safety of Camar, the guard of the mage tower was also very strict. If the mage tower collapses, the city is doomed.

“stop!”

When Kang Seung-hyeon returned to the entrance of the tower, the guard guarding the door stopped him.

“What are you doing in the Crimson Mage Tower?”

“Wait a minute, these guys are the adventurers who went out earlier.”

Another guard stopped his colleague and asked.

“Did you leave something behind?”

“Still, I can’t let you in. It won’t be very important, so go back.”

“I didn’t leave anything behind, but…”

Kang Seung-hyeon took out his Mage Tower permit and showed it.

“I have something to show you.”

“Is this the magic tower permit?”

“That’s the permit issued by Professor Tansel…!”

“Can you open the door now? We have a lot of work to do.”

Let Kang Seung-hyun hold the permit in front of his face.

“Excuse me!”

The guard hurriedly opened the door.

“I would have thought he was an acquaintance of Professor Ta Tansel.”

“Come to think of it, I heard that he brought Professor Tansel’s pupil…”

The guards whispered, but Kang Seung-hyeon didn’t mind at all and headed inside.

“It’s red whenever I come in.”

Kim Ho-jung looked at the mage tower and said.

True to its name, the Crimson Mage Tower is entirely crimson. Buildings and walls, as well as the robes worn by wizards. Thanks to this, outsiders can tell them apart just by looking at their clothes.

“The first thing I need to get is…”

Kang Seung-hyun opened the map and went up the stairs. The place Kang Seung-hyeon headed was not the store, but the magic engineering room of the Crimson Mage Tower.

“A pocket watch powered by magic power.”

It is commonly referred to as a mana watch. Time management is very important for adventurers due to the nature of adventurer quests with a time limit.

In town, you can check the time by looking at the clock tower, but it is difficult to check the time if you leave town or enter a dungeon.

‘Besides, a time check is absolutely necessary when making potions.’

Until now, I made it sloppy by relying on my senses, but if I buy a mana watch, I can make better potions than now.

“Isn’t this a mana watch? I also had Tina.”

“The Mana Watch is something that can only be obtained from the Mage Tower.”

Mana watches can only be made by magic engineers. As difficult as it is to obtain, the cost is enormous, so only nobles can buy it, but commoners can’t even see it.

“That Tina… She was a gold spoon…”

“That’s not the case. Wizards belonging to the Mage Tower can buy watches cheaply.”

A watch is a must in the Magic Tower. I have to check the lecture time, and it’s also important when researching magic.

“They say the standard is to rent a watch right after entering the Magic Tower and then slowly save money to buy it.”

Of course, it’s not something Kang Seung-hyun and his party can buy with the money they have now, but

“Professor Tansel’s permit. Are you the healer who said you saved Shuire?”

Thanks to Professor Tansel’s consideration, I was able to purchase it cheaply.

“yes. My name is Seunghyun Kang Healer.”

“A benefactor like that can’t be expensive. Pick a design you like.”

This is Professor Arneel. Item production and development research using magical power. In other words, he is a professor in charge of magic engineering. He is said to be the highest authority among magic engineers in the Crimson Mage Tower.

“I will do this. How about Kim Ho-jeong?”

“me too?”

“You said it last time. He said he would save Kim Ho-jeong as well.”

“Has it only been a day since you said that? Anyway, Mr. Kang is amazing!”

Kim Ho-jung said with a smile.

“I’ll take this one!”

The two each picked their favorite Mana Watch.

“The usage is simple. I just need to inject magic into the watch. It won’t break down in any way, but if you ever have a problem, go to any magic tower.”

Professor Arnul said with a pipe in his mouth.

“I’ll try to screw it up, but will you fix it? The best thing is to come to our mage tower.”

The Magic Tower is a cooperative relationship, but at the same time a competitor. It is normal to dislike it when another Mage Tower item is brought in to be fixed.

But I wouldn’t turn it down as it was an opportunity to show off my repair skills.

“thank you.”

“Write well. While adventuring, they promote our Mage Tower.”

After greeting Kang Seung-hyun, he left the magic engineering room.

“By the way, did I tell you that?”

“what?”

“Item slot achievements.”

When you put 3 rare items in your inventory, the [Item Slot] achievement is achieved and a slot system is added to register the item.

“Since I have one rare item and Kim Ho-jeong has one… I can unlock it if I get one more.”

This is an achievement that can be achieved simply by putting an item in and taking it out of the inventory. It’s just hard to break because it’s hard to find rare items.

“Because this is the Magic Tower… I wonder if I can get at least one rare item?”

“I guess so. It would be nice if it was something we could buy.”

Kang Seung-hyeon talked to Kim Ho-jeong and moved the location.

“here is?”

“If there’s one thing you absolutely must buy in the Mage Tower… it’s a scroll, after all.”

scroll. A magic scroll made by imbuing magic into paper. The effect is different, but it is a disposable item that disappears once used.

“The scrolls that are popular these days are magic shield summons and magic swords… Do you have something you are looking for?”

It allows people who don’t know magic to use magic, so it’s an item that adventurers of other professions are looking for than wizards.

“Give me this.”

However, the only thing Kang Seung-hyun was looking for was a return scroll.

‘Because I went through hardships in this dungeon.’

I’m thinking of buying one or two as insurance, just in case.

“You’re looking for a dungeon return scroll… This is a bit expensive…”

A scroll is an item made by embedding magic spells or magic circles into small pieces of paper. Of course, the larger the scale of magic, the more difficult it is to create a scroll.

“The cheapest bangle village coordinated return scroll is currently 9.4 million gold.”

The cheapest one is 9.4 million gold. Considering that this is a one-time use, the price is frightening.

Even with one scroll, only two people could escape. There’s a reason adventurers don’t buy escape scrolls.

“In addition, the Return Scroll is an item for returning to the Azul Continent from the dimensional rift after exiting the broken dungeon… It cannot be used under normal circumstances.”

Currently, in order to move in space on the Azul continent, you must pass through a dimensional rift.

In other words, it is impossible to go directly from the Hind Village to Camar, but it is possible to return to Camar from the Hind Village through the dimensional rift.

‘It’s a problem because it’s not easy to open the gap in the dimension.’

Even now, wizards are researching to freely open the dimensional rift. So far, there are only a handful of wizards and the only way through collapsing dungeons.

“Even if we combine all our money, it won’t be even 9 million gold…”

Kim Ho-jeong muttered with a bewildered face.

“But this is the magic tower. You can buy things without money.”

The magic tower is one of the places where barter is possible. Because wizards like items that are more valuable than money.

“I think we can exchange this for a scroll. How are you?”

What Kang Seung-hyeon took out was the magic book that Professor Si-seong gave him as a bonus.

“That’s…”

“The set of ‘Understanding and Principles of Magic’ compiled by Prof. Siseong of the Dark Magic Tower.”

“oh my god! Where did you get such a precious thing…?”

“I received it directly from myself.”

It’s just a heavy book for Kang Seung-hyeon, who can’t learn magic, but it’s a precious specialty book that wizards can’t read. Especially, it is an item that mages belonging to the Mage Tower cannot miss.

“Come to think of it, Professor Siseong had just left, right? So, is this a magic book you received directly from yourself? If I miss it now, I will never be able to find it, right?”

Next to him, Kim Ho-jeong started to catch the wind.

“Then, the return scroll…”

“This is probably a book you can’t buy even if you have money…”

“Then two or two! How about two?”

“Sir Kang, shall we go to the store next to us?”

“Maybe.”

“Wait wait wait! three sheets! I’ll give you three!”

The wizard desperately grabbed Kang Seung-hyeon, who was about to leave the store.

“Three return scrolls and three chaos scrolls.”

“okay! Six sheets in total, okay!”

Confusion scrolls are much cheaper than homing scrolls. In fact, it is given freely, so it will not be a loss from the other side’s point of view.

“thank you!!!”

The wizard presented the scroll and embraced the magic book with a happy face.

“Since there are three copies, I feel safe no matter what happens in the dungeon.”

“You’re strong!”

“Mr. Kim Ho-jeong also has one.”

Kang Seung-hyeon held out an escape scroll to Kim Ho-jung. That way, if one of them faints, they can escape together.

“Sell the remaining books and turn them into money…”

Kang Seung-hyun stopped by a bookstore and bought various materials.

“Monster Encyclopedia, Azul Continent History, Herb Encyclopedia… No, are you going to buy all of these?”

“I’m going to buy everything I can buy.”

The books sold at the Mage Tower are difficult and expensive, so they contain a lot of data.

“Especially the analysis of abnormal conditions and the herbal guidebook of the northern region are essential.”

Originally, it was a book used by professional pharmacists or Mage Tower students to study herbal medicine, but it was necessary for the work of Yame Healer.

“I got a guidebook for the western region, but I haven’t been able to find a guidebook for herbs in other regions…”

I never thought I would find a guidebook for the northern region here. Seunghyun Kang bought the book with a satisfied face.

“I’m starting to get hungry… isn’t Mr. Kang hungry?”

“I’ll stop by here and go eat.”

The last place Kang Seung-hyun went to was a potion shop.

‘I wasted a lot of potions needlessly dealing with Ailee this time. Let’s start with the lack of potions.’

“welcome. It’s a potion shop!”

Due to the nature of the Magic Tower, where magic is important, potion manufacturing is also taught and researched. The potions sold at the Mage Tower are of much higher quality than those made by the poor pharmacist.

“One box of magic potions and one box of stamina potions… Give me three boxes of stamina potions too…”

Kang Seung-hyun bought the potions with his money.

“And the items for the potion material…”

The Mage Tower uses magic to grow herbs and purchases rare materials from all over the country. Of course, there are many materials that can only be obtained from the Mage Tower.

“Breakfast leaves and a bunch of blood thistles…”

Kang Seung-hyeon was about to explain the medicine he was looking for to the shop owner.

bubbling bubbling.

The sound of boiling potions came from the seat next to me. Looking to the side, a wizard was making a potion.

“Sparky crystals, dried bubble vinegar… and even water scented candles…”

The ingredients placed next to it were the ingredients for the sparkling potion. A firecracker-like potion that emits light when used. It seems that he is making an assignment for the Mage Tower Herbology lecture.

“huh? Wait…”

Kang Seung-hyun, looking at the ingredients, realized something was strange. Originally, water scented vinegar smells like fishy water. However, there was no smell from the magician’s scented candle.

“Don’t put that in. That’s not a water lily…”

“What are you saying?”

Kang Seung-hyeon, of course, stopped it, but the wizard didn’t listen and put the herbs in it.

“No, do you have all these bastards?”

“…That potion will explode soon, so everyone avoid it.”

I tried talking to people around me, but no one left.

“why? Even if there is an explosion, you can block it with a magic shield.”

“I avoid kids who can’t use magic.”

Rather, he just laughed at Kang Seung-hyun.

“Those bastards are ignoring us because we have low magic power.”

Kim Ho-jeong clicked her tongue.

The Mage Tower merchants welcome visitors for money, but to the Mage Tower students, they are just annoying outsiders. So some students would thoroughly ignore outsiders with low horsepower.

“I can’t help it if I don’t want to hear anything. I said it clearly.”

I have no intention of persuading anyone who won’t listen. Kang Seung-hyun left the store with Kim Ho-jung.

“Anyway, you have to know about the wizards…”

And it must have been three steps?

“Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

“Kyaaaagh!!”

“A magic shield!!”

White smoke billowed out of the store and people’s screams could be heard.

“What are you saying you block it with a magic shield?”

“You can’t block that. So I told you to avoid it.”

Kang Seung-hyun smiled and turned around and headed towards the messy store.
