Chapter 14 (2/2)

By the time he remembered what happened, Luke almost went down the memory lane.

‘Well, was it the Veritas Magic Tower that made the Gigant?’

“Young Lord, what are you trying to do?”

Philip watched Luke with anxiousness for a while.

Instead of answering the question, Luke asked another question.

“Philip. Do you by any chance know how the Gigant was developed in the Veritas Magic Tower?”

“What do you mean by develop?”

“Like did they even have a blueprint or did they excavate something from an ancient ruin or a dungeon?”

At he understood the question, Philip nodded.

“I learned it in the military academy. I heard that Arsene, the master of Veritas Magic Tower and the 8th Circle Grand Wizard developed it after decades of original research.”

“Original research?”

“Yes, which was why the later historians praised him as the ‘Father of Gigant’ and the ‘Mage Engineer’ and ‘Iron Mage’.”

‘That is absurd!’

Before the golem magic was created, it was well known in the magic tower that Saymon had been working on such things.

He did some research in the Veritas Magic Tower, but Meister Arsene had never participated in it.

He was a War Mage, who emphasized on attack and defense magic, and was very ignorant at the creations of golems and artifacts.

And such a person has turned into the founder of Magic Engineering?

‘No, it could be possible.’

The Veritas Magic Tower had situations where the higher wizards would steal the achievement papers of the lower rank wizards. Whether it was a Meister or an elder, it made no difference.

And not only once did they rob Luke of his hard work.

‘It isn’t that strange if that guy stole the achievements of someone and made it into his. That is fine, but…’

Luke remembered the time when the Holy Knight Rakan had come to slay him.

At that time, Rakan was armed with a golden sword made by the Veritas Magic Tower, handed by the Archbishop of El Kassel.

In other words, it was safe to say that the Veritas Magic Tower helped Rakan in defeating Saymon.

‘They were all trying to get rid of me by shaking hands with the Duke of Baroque. They would have helped out Rakan too, so after my death, they can take my research.’

When he thought about it, everything seemed to make sense, and the mystery of the Gigants was solved.

After all, Arsene was the head.

Not only did he push Katarina to her death, but he branded Saymon a Devil and deprived him of all his research and made him into what he was as well.

‘Keuk! An enemy who doesn’t even know what he made!’

Luke’s eyes turned red with anger.

The enemy he wanted to kill was long gone.

But the Veritas Magic Tower, which was the same as then, had the magic towers of 2 continents in its hand.

‘Arsene, I’ll make sure your blood tears will come out from your bones!’

Erase the Veritas Magic Tower from the world!

The wizards, every single book, their magic stones, and their magic powers!

Luke had a fierce commitment against the enemy who had sucked him of his life.

‘I have a lot to do in the future.’

But first, he had to pay the debt to keep his castle, which was called the Devil King’s castle that had the memories of his loved one, his followers and the place which was going to give him the power to take revenge.

‘Huh?’

Luke held his neck while moving out when he suddenly stopped.

And it wasn’t the wizards or the mercenaries who stopped it.

It was a girl who was stroking the rusty legs of a Gigant.

It was Princess Reina, who had been exiled, the one he saw on the street yesterday.
