Chapter 305 - Fall of the Veritas Magic Tower 2 (1/2)
“Your Majesty, this isn’t something we did! There is no individual who has learned of the magic to summon a demon, nor any summoners with us, and there is no such person in our tower! Please trust us!”
Emperor Rudolf has refused to meet the nobles with the excuse of treating his injuries only to talk to a man in his office.
It was Meister Albert of the Veritas Magic tower, who was speaking.
He had just arrived back to the tower two days ago and was trying to explain about the accident which had happened during his time.
“You are saying it really isn’t your work?”
“That is true. Please believe me!”
‘Huh, so you expect me to believe you just because you say so!’
Rudolf screamed in the inside.
Emperor Rudolf was very well aware of the fact that the Veritas Magic tower had defeated the ancient warlock, the Devil King Saymon.
Through the dark magic book, Arsene turned into a Lich and the former Meisters of the Veritas and the other elders too had learned a variety of dark magic.
‘But no one has learned to summon demons? Such a shameless man this one is!’
Albert could only exhale seeing the cold eyes of the Emperor.
“If that is so if we show our sincerity, would you believe our innocence?”
Albert was well aware that Emperor Rudolf wouldn’t claim Veritas as the main culprit.
But the Imperial too was at loss.
Nevertheless, he knew that there was a price to pay.
‘Haha, The damages of our magic towers will be extreme this time. What kind of a bastard did such an act?’
If Albert found out who did such an act, he was definite on making that man into undead and making him suffer forever.
‘Hu hu. To get away with this, you need to be able to come up with pretty note-worthy things.’
It was Rudolf, who remembered Veritas Magic tower to be his most valuable asset. Rudolf opened his mouth.
Suddenly, the door of the office opened wide and Count Voltas entered.
He looked at Albert and was surprised, but soon spoke to the Emperor.
“Your majesty, great trouble has come upon us!”
“What is that?”
“A moment back, someone passed us a magic video crystal to the Imperial Palace, and there was a video of a person summoning the higher demon.”
“What?!”
Shocked with the content, Rudolf got up from his seat. It was because it meant that the main culprit of the case was revealed.
He didn’t actually think that the Veritas Magic tower was the actual source.
However, one of the Veritas Magic tower elders, who had been pushed out of the tower due to internal struggles, and had a bad intention in his heart could have done such thing, and such allegations couldn’t be ruled out.
“Who is the culprit?”
“That, that thing…”
At Rudolf’s question, Voltas looked at Albert and hesitated.
“It is alright, let me know.” Said Rudolf.
“Yes, the magic video crystal has shown wizards summoning a higher demon, and it has been confirmed that they are of Veritas Magic tower.”
“Such an answer!”
While Albert was flustered, Voltas pushed the Magic video crystal forward.
“Please check it for yourself.”
Albert immediately infused the mana into the magic video crystal.
Then again, the video began to appear on one side of the wall.
The video continued on the wall showing the preliminary scene of summoning the demon, to drawing the summoning circles on the floor, to saying the summoning spells and then the summoned demon directly coming up.
After confirming all of that, Albert could only gulp.
It was because one of the two wizards in the video was someone he knew.
‘Why, why is that guy in there…!’
“Those young wizards there is Fabian Azar. He once won an award in the capital magic contest.”
Just as Voltas said, Fabian was a new wizard who had been prominent in Veritas Magic tower.
He had great talent in magic, so he climbed to the 5th circle at a very young age, but due to his poor native origin, he wasn’t able to garner anything else in the Veritas magic tower.
Nevertheless, he never expressed dissatisfaction and Albert who was curious about him because of that thought of handing him a suitable place in the tower.
