157: Lore of the Demon King and the Hero

The first place I headed after departing from Steel Balance was the Guild.

I had already gotten my adventurer card issued at the Guild branch in the abandoned city to serve as I.D., and I didn't really care to take on requests and up my rank so, ordinarily, there wouldn't be a reason for me to go there.

My purpose for going there was quite simple.

To send a message.

I had heard from the young inn owner at the abandoned city about something called the 'Magic Tower'.

As it turned out, the mage whose life I saved, Lud, had a connection there as most skilled mages apparently do, and I was informed a little about it on the way over here.

A place where many genius mages and scholars gather to study and research magic.

Lud stated the tower consisted of 13 floors; the higher one goes, the more skilled the individuals that reside there, and the harder it is to get in.
