Chapter 84: Magic Tower (2)

In the carriage going to the Magic Tower, it was just Lumia and I. In the carriage’s cargo hold, the exorcism tools and clothes we brought were packed, and the coachman was a taciturn person.

I was leaning back in the chair with my pants off, and Lumia was looking out the window, pretending nothing was wrong, holding my penis and shaking it up and down.

“Go well, Priestess Lumia-nim.”

As a certain priest approached the window to greet us, I pretended nothing was wrong, lifted Lumia’s priestess robes to hide my penis. Lumia used her body to block the view so my penis wouldn’t be seen, and shook hands with the priest, her ears flushed bright red.

“Yes. Don’t worry. Any demon that falls into my hands won’t get a clean death.”

As she said that and clenched her fist, my hand holding my penis reflexively tightened its grip. It felt like it was squeezing my member as if it were her private parts, trying to wring out my semen, so I had to bite my lip and stare at the ceiling for a moment.

“Hohoho, how reliable. Then go well.”

The priest said that, glancing at me sitting in the chair. Lumia said to the priest.

“Yes. Priest-nim. Please protect the village well while I am away.”

“Yes. I’ll be going then.”

As the priest disappeared into the distance, I stroked her hair and asked.

“…..Isn’t this too dangerous?”

What we were doing now, at the village entrance, the handjob, was definitely not something I wanted. As soon as we got on the carriage, Lumia had looked at me with pleading eyes, calling it her ‘romance’, and I just couldn’t resist those eyes.

Lumia looked at my firmly erect penis with a satisfied expression and said.

“If we had sex, we’d be caught immediately. The very sight of me riding on Evan-nim’s lap looks suspicious, so I have no choice but to settle for this.”

If it weren’t for the priest, she looked like she would have immediately started riding me naked. I let out a hollow laugh and said,

“So this was why you were looking forward to a trip for the two of us.”

Lumia nodded.

“A man and woman whispering sweet nothings affectionately to each other in a carriage. I believe Evan-nim knows how beautiful that sight is. With people passing by nonchalantly, their expressions stiff, exchanging lewd acts through gestures and signs-that vulgarity. I simply want to deepen the affection between Evan-nim and myself during this carriage journey.”

And she lightly stroked my penis, confirming the carriage had started moving. As the villagers passed by in the distance, and the village faded into the hills, she buried her face towards my penis and took the glans into her mouth.

Exhaling hot breaths, inhaling, licking the sensitive part with her tongue-that sight was no longer that of a priestess, but a lewd act closer to that of a bitch. Satisfyingly tasting my body here and there, she stuck her tongue out, carefully massaging my testicles with her fingers, and looked up at me.

“Evan-nim. I intentionally hired the coachman as deaf. You must have a good time together.”

I looked around. The carriage was entering a mountain path. I grabbed Lumia’s head and made her move to suck my penis more, and Lumia, her face flushing red, moved her head without restraint, following my hand’s movements.

I came deep inside her mouth, and sometimes I went under the chair to lick and caress her slit. When she became unbearably aroused, we got lodging and had intense sex, spending the night. We then spent the day falling fast asleep, leaning our heads against each other on the carriage backrest.

Thus, we arrived at the Magic Tower.

The place where demons lurk, and adorable Sylvia awaits me.

During my slave days, I had seen the Magic Tower several times. Carriages loaded with slaves would stop in front of the magnificent Magic Tower, and when numbers were called, some slaves were dragged out with desperate expressions. Their desperate cries then were like those of beasts being dragged to the slaughterhouse.

I still remembered that bleak atmosphere and the grandeur of the Magic Tower from that time. It was a giant cylindrical building that didn’t seem man-made, stacked layer upon layer like a cake, reaching high into the sky. Fist-sized windows were dotted around in a honeycomb pattern on each level, and the busy mages didn’t even give us a glance. They wore robes or flamboyant pajamas, flipping through books or engrossed in experiments; they seemed less like geniuses and more like eccentric weirdos with disturbed minds.

“What is this?”

Unlike the grand Magic Tower that remained as a fragmented impression in my memory, the Radia Magic Tower was smaller than expected. The Magic Tower I had seen was so large it could have been mistaken for a castle or fortress just by its circumference, whereas the Radia Magic Tower was about the size of a stadium wrapped in a circle.

Lumia turned her head at my disappointed tone and asked,

“Has Evan-nim seen a Magic Tower before? Most people are surprised that even mid-to-small scale Magic Towers are this size, but Evan-nim is rather disappointed.”

“No, I mean, it’s not small or anything. The Magic Tower I saw was literally the size of wrapping around an entire castle.”

“You must be talking about the Mobius Grand Magic Tower. It’s famous for its sheer size. Typically, Magic Towers are about the size of the Radia Magic Tower you see now.”

Lumia said that as she took out the luggage from the carriage’s cargo hold. I took my clothes and simple daily necessities, and Lumia carried the backpack containing exorcism tools brought from the temple.

The Magic Tower was quite a distance from where the carriage was parked, and the lodging was in a different direction from the Magic Tower. Lumia said to me.

“Could you go to the lodging first? I will go greet the Magic Tower personnel as part of the investigation team.”

“Shouldn’t I go with you? It would be easier for me to get around if I got acquainted with people now.”

Lumia shook her head at my words.

“Since we don’t know where the demon is, I think it’s better for Evan-nim to investigate separately where the demon might be, rather than raising suspicion by showing us sticking together. After all, if it’s the timing for a priest to be searching, the demon might let its guard down, right?”

That made sense.

Lumia would search as a priest, and I would find the demon while screwing Sylvia. If I found the demon first, I would trick the demon appropriately, betray it, subdue it, absorb its essence, and kill it.

“Not bad. But how do we get in and out?”

“The first and second floors of the Radia Magic Tower are always open to civilians, so I don’t think there will be any problem for now. I’ll have to ask about entry to the upper floors later, as I’ll need to get an access pass while conducting the investigation. It pains my heart, but I have to work this time, so we have no choice but to separate. Please know that I’m not suggesting this because I want to be apart from Evan-nim.”

Lumia spoke those words, holding my hand tightly in a pleading tone. I stroked her cheek and said,

“I know, Lumia.”

Lumia smiled brightly, as if grateful just for my understanding, and nodded. I packed my things and started walking towards the lodging.

“Then, Lumia. See you later.”

“Yes. Evan-nim.”

Lumia waved goodbye to me and left, and I walked to the lodging carrying my luggage.

The inside of the Magic Tower felt even narrower than it looked from the outside. Corridors formed by thick walls, divided laboratories, and storage rooms were confusing my eyes. I started to worry about when I would find Sylvia and when I could meet the demon in this maze-like place.

The Magic Tower had no internal map, and the people passing by were all researchers with pale complexions or people who looked very ill-tempered and had stern impressions. The passing people, looking incredibly busy, with wrinkled expressions, either bumped into people’s shoulders as they passed or ran around frantically pushing carts loaded with books and equipment.

While waiting for a moment, pressing myself tightly against the wall to avoid bumping into people, I could see a group of people walking towards me.

“Excuse me. What brings you to the Magic Tower?”

They seemed to be Magic Tower guards, so I relaxed my expression and said,

“Ah, yes. I’m here to find my girlfriend. Her name is Sylvia. She has silver hair, golden eyes, and is a freshman who just entered the Academy’s magic department as the top student this year.”

One of the guards nodded as if recognizing who I was talking about after hearing that,

“Ah, Sylvia. The one who was recently transferred to material classification, right? Looks like her boyfriend.”

“Ah, follow us.”

The guards were shaking their heads with bitter expressions. I could feel that the atmosphere was somehow strange. An ominous feeling that something was going wrong somewhere. That feeling turned into certainty the moment I realized I was heading towards the material storage area, not a laboratory.

People dressed like factory workers were carrying loads covered in dust, and on the other side, there were people holding documents and recording ledgers. These people here, at a glance, were clearly laborers, not mages. The guard shouted to the man in charge at the highest position.

“Hey! Someone’s here for a visit!”

The man turned his head upon hearing that and looked at me,

“E-Evan-nim…?”

A voice calling me could be heard from afar. Silver hair and golden eyes that stood out sharply even from a distance.

But covered in dust, her face filled with exhaustion, she was looking at me with a tearful face.

“Evan-niim…!”

What the fuck.
