“Is this a country of magic…? ”

I looked around in pure admiration.

‘Is this a country in the same world? ?’

I had heard so much on the airship that it was a country that had developed so much that it could not be compared with the empire, but when I encountered it in person, it was beyond my imagination.

If you just look at the level, the level of these technologies would be unimaginable even in modern times.

In the first place, I noticed that there was an airship that flew at incredible speeds without making much noise, and that the airship was an old model.

‘It’s beyond my imagination…’ ‘

I swallowed my saliva.

What should I say… There were so many things that aroused my curiosity.

Maybe that’s why I was looking around here and there, showing interest, and suddenly I was startled as soon as I recognized the self-proclaimed blood wizards who were clearly looking at me.

‘I need to be careful about my actions… ‘

Even though a thousand years have passed and he is full of amazing things, as long as he is pushing forward with the feeling that he is an unidentified great man, he cannot continue to show such a lackluster appearance.

“Uhm… ”

I cleared my throat and tried to erase my shame.

If I were any more embarrassed here, it would only make me look weird.

I turned to the man who served as my guide and asked, as if nothing had happened.

“What did you say… Did you say it was a bloody magic tower? Please quickly tell me where it is.”

“Ah… Don’t worry! It’s already arrived!”

“… Ah?”

Arrived?

I looked around again.

‘Isn’t it just a street?’

It was amazing.

People were riding their own cars on streets that had developed so much that it was hard to recall the past, which was the setting of medieval fantasy.

Flying in the sky was basic, and the clothes the residents were wearing had many futuristic designs that seemed like something out of creative works I had seen before coming to this world.

but…

‘It’s just an ordinary street.’

No matter how I look at it, it looks like an ordinary street. I was about to ask where the magic tower was.

– … Your identity has been confirmed.

At the same time as the loud mechanical sound resounded, my vision was distorted.

‘what… ‘

I thought the space was distorted and I felt my body moving.

When I realized the situation, I stuck my tongue out in surprise.

How on earth do you plan to surprise me?

The surrounding scenery that had shown the street just moments ago had disappeared, and before I knew it, I was inside a building.

Inside a building that retains the appearance of a former magic tower, where countless wizards are running around carrying their research materials.

“Arrived.”

At that moment, the blood mage next to me pointed and said with a proud expression.

“This is the Bloody Magic Tower!”

A faraway country that would take several months to travel by carriage.

We arrived at a magic tower that was said to be difficult to enter even in other countries.

It’s been 4 hours since I woke up.

* * *

‘thank god… ‘

The man truly thought so.

The most unpopular and least performing magic tower in the country of magic is the bloody magic tower.

As a result, it was so poor that it could not be compared to other magic towers.

‘I heard that all other magic towers use an automatic magic pattern recognition system, so why are we the only ones…? ‘

Magic pattern automatic recognition system! In fact, it can be said to be the most basic entry system in the Magic Tower.

Before even entering, they read the magical power pattern, determine that you are a magic tower wizard, and let you into the magic tower in an instant.

The speed was so ridiculously fast that you could actually enter the magic tower right away.

Considering that every moment lost while waiting is like blood for wizards, this is a system that should definitely exist.

But the bloody magic tower was different.

Aren’t they still using people because they don’t have the funds to set up the system?

I spent a small amount of money to add a function that illuminates the outside of the magic tower, perhaps to make the waiting time seem even a little longer, but if that were the case, it would have been much better to save money and install a semi-permanent access system.

‘Anyway, these grandpas are crazy about their appearance.’

I couldn’t understand that when it comes to blood magic, style is as important as skill.

I think they are crazy people.

but…

“Hmm.”

The man thought.

On the outside, he acts as if nothing has happened, but when I see the magic tower owner taking interest in every single thing inside the magic tower, I just smile.

The Magic Tower Lord, who is like a god to wizards, is showing interest in where they will live in the future, so what wizard wouldn’t like it?

Although he seemed to be trying not to show it, it was clearly visible that he was happy.

The man finally couldn’t bear it anymore and asked a question vaguely.

“That… Chepeş?”

“What’s going on?”

“What do you think about the Bloody Magic Tower?”

Chepeş was troubled for a moment by the man’s question.

For a man who thought he would get a good answer right away, the reaction was so unexpected that I broke into a cold sweat without realizing it.

‘… is not it?’

It was a time when I became anxious thinking that my prediction might be wrong.

The girl who was quietly thinking while placing her finger on her chin answered in a voice that seemed like it was no big deal.

“Scent.”

“Yes?”

“This place smells good. It was only natural that people who deal with blood gathered together. It’s my favorite place.”

Hah, scent?

The man tilted his head.

The bloody magic tower had a bloody smell, but it wasn’t particularly fragrant.

However, that was probably a good thing.

‘You say you like it, so what… ‘

They say you smell good.

Well, that’s it.

The man began explaining the bloody magic tower with a somewhat happy expression.

Most of the explanations were useless, but Chepeş was walking down the street concentrating on the story.

but…

‘I can feel your gaze on me… ‘

I think that people’s eyes might naturally be drawn to the sight of them talking about various things while walking inside the Magic Tower, but isn’t the amount of gaze too much?

Chepeş suddenly had that thought, but soon decided not to pay attention to the gaze.

But doesn’t that mean you can’t threaten people around you and tell them not to look at you?

I felt comfortable just doing it like that.

furthermore…

‘I’m sure it’s enough to attract attention.’

Chepeş had an objective understanding of his own appearance.

In the first place, the vampire is a species that has no race that can match its appearance to the point where it is called the noble of the night.

There, she became a true progenitor, a true ancestor, so this girl’s appearance would definitely attract attention.

While Chepeshu, who had decided and accepted the reason for his inner gaze, nodded,

“Hey, hey! Razak! We’re in big trouble! It’s awesome, it’s awesome!”

A man got off the elevator and ran towards him in a huff, calling his name.

“Huh? Why?”

“Wow… omg… ”

When I asked why he was in such a hurry, the man who had been out of breath sighed, raised his upper body, and said.

“The elders took Chepeshu to the Senate for a long time.”

“What?”

Bring him to the Senate?

“Why?”

“No, you idiot! Of course, they want to make Chepeshu their magic tower lord! Is your head not spinning?”

Razak tilted his head as if wondering what that meant.

“Wasn’t Mr. Chepeshu originally the Master of Magic Tower?”

Didn’t you already decide to become a magic tower lord?

The man gave him a strange look.

“Ugh, you idiot.”

Razak didn’t understand the insults he was saying.

Even until Chepeş was sent up.

* * *

Suddenly, I heard that some elders or something were urgently calling me, so I wondered what was going on.

Those kids must have been talking about me… Moreover, he reacted so strongly to the story about Count Vladimir, just in case.

Maybe there was someone who remembered me and called me because they suspected me.

They called me because they thought I might be related to Count Vladimir, since I was discovered deep underground in the Bavarian cemetery where my mansion used to be.

If asked about the Count, I planned to reveal that I was the Count.

I thought it would be okay since it was a thousand years ago anyway.

however…

“Master of Magic Tower, won’t you do it?”

Those expectations were shattered.

As soon as they saw me, the elders immediately asked that question.

‘suddenly?’

I didn’t understand.

In the first place, it was hard to believe that there was a vacancy in a magic tower this large, but I couldn’t understand why they told me, as an outsider, to become a magic tower lord.

‘I know who I am… ?’

Let alone who I am, he probably has never even seen me use my power, so it was natural for him to not understand since he was asking me to become a magic tower lord.

Then there was only one answer for me.

“I don’t like it.”

It’s a rejection.

The Senate fell silent at my confident declaration that I would not engage in magic tower.
