Chapter Index

    The face has gone beyond a serious level and has become pale.

    To be honest, I was a bit surprised to see Helena slightly dropping her hand as it wasn’t enough to make that face.

    He hadn’t known Helena for a long time, but even taking that into account, this was the first time she showed herself like that.

    ‘Are there any very important facilities in Poland?’

    Thanks to you, I even had that thought for a moment.

    Isn’t there a reason for that?

    It’s a secret research center operated in extreme secrecy by the Magic Tower Alliance…

    “Are there any important facilities in Poland?”

    “No, not really.”

    What, wasn’t it?

    no way···.

    “Instead, if you go west from Poland, you will find Germany, where the headquarters of the Magic Tower Alliance is located.”

    “···!”

    “If the Lithuanian direction is breached…”

    Helena’s explanation was that the area where the headquarters of the Magic Tower Alliance was located was practically a deserted communist area.

    “Then… isn’t it dangerous?”

    “But that’s not the case because there is basically a stationed force within the headquarters…”

    Why do I stop talking?

    It pisses off the listener.

    With that in mind, I turned to look in the direction where Helena was, but what caught my eye was Helena, whose face looked much more serious than before.

    Helena was still chewing her lips for a while, but eventually, unable to shake off her nervousness, she jumped up from her seat.

    “···I guess I should contact my uncle and tell him just in case.”

    Then, it must have been just a moment when he turned his body to the side as if he was trying to get out of the hospital room.

    The TV, which had been playing white noise like a video of rain sounds that are played while you sleep, emitted a sound that felt like it was scraping your eardrums.

    Not to mention me, the eyes of Helena, who was moving to get out of the hospital room as quickly as possible, and Hayoung, who was busy watching Helena crumpled in the corner, were focused on the TV.

    And as soon as I looked at the TV, what unfolded before my eyes was a screen plastered in red and white so that anyone could tell that it was breaking news.

    “Um, what on earth is that…?”

    Things that were literally created for the purpose of grabbing people’s attention.

    However, they were not able to fulfill their duties.

    That’s because the scene occupying the center of the TV screen was so shocking.

    A large building burning brightly and spouting pitch black smoke.

    The subtitles below the screen showing the building were informing those watching TV that the building currently being displayed on the screen was the headquarters of the Magic Tower Alliance.

    “Ah…”

    Could it be that he couldn’t believe the sight even after seeing it with his own eyes?

    Helena’s body swayed sharply for a moment, accompanied by a voice that I couldn’t tell if it was a sigh or something.

    Was it because I witnessed such a shocking scene that my legs momentarily lost strength?

    Seeing that it wouldn’t be strange if he fell down right away, he even risked the possibility of falling, so he urgently stretched out his arms towards Helena.

    Thanks to this, I was able to safely retrieve Helena’s body before she collapsed.

    “It’s okay, are you okay?”

    “Uncle, please contact your uncle…”

    A trembling voice.

    I could tell just from that voice.

    That uncle was a very important person to Helena.

    Maybe… it’s like a parent.

    But since the building where such a person works is burning brightly like that… from Helena’s point of view, she cannot help but feel faint.

    Is that why?

    Giving up on even changing the location, I moved my trembling hand and urgently grabbed Helena’s hand, who was operating the portable display that I had taken out before I knew it.

    “Why, why…?”

    “I completely understand your anxiety and your desire to check whether that uncle is alive or dead right away… but I think the first thing to do is to contact the people dispatched to Vietnam.”

    What if they haven’t heard about terrorism yet?

    Rather good.

    By delivering news, you will naturally be able to influence their movements.

    ‘The really worst case scenario is…’

    It could be the case that the personnel dispatched by the Magic Tower Alliance have already heard about the terrorist attack.

    The moment they heard the news, it was practically decided what kind of movement they would make.

    Obviously… they will try to use the teleport terminal to return to Europe as soon as possible.

    “Couldn’t the person behind this terrorist incident have guessed at that possibility?”

    “···!”

    If he had been in his usual calm state, there is a possibility that Helena would have thought of it without difficulty.

    Helena’s hand, which had been trembling for a moment without stopping at my comment about such a possibility, suddenly stopped as if it had been struck by lightning.

    “Ji, in this situation, if even the 1st Magic Corps deserts…”

    Europe, which is already chaotic, will become even more confused.

    It is a group with tremendous power that can safely be called not only the strongest in Europe but the strongest in the world, and there are only a few people who can keep calm after hearing the news that the shield that protected Europe from the black magicians disappeared in an instant.

    Even for Helena right now, isn’t that true?

    Even Helena, who can be said to be a high-ranking mage, reacted this way… so there’s no need to say anything to those below her.

    ‘Maybe… this incident could tear Europe apart.’

    And it wasn’t the picture I wanted.

    The reason I chose the Kowloon City worldview in the first place was because I came here to enjoy honey and power up, not to experience the European version of the Warring States Period.

    It’s a European thing, so it has nothing to do with Asia?

    ‘Well, is that really the case?’

    The Magic Tower Union of this world is like the United States when compared to the reality I live in.

    But let’s assume that one day, a large-scale gate occurred in the United States, and the country called the United States was unable to survive and was completely destroyed.

    When that happens, will it really be okay if it’s another country?

    It’s as if a huge market called America has disappeared?

    The possibility of that happening was extremely low, and from my point of view, my goal is to stick close to the party’s side in this world and secure magic or devices that can be useful in various situations, so the damage from this incident would have been minimal. The more the better.

    “So, let’s contact them there first. Anyway, since the terrorist incident occurred, we need to move, but don’t move too hastily.”

    In fact, that was why he said that to Helena, who had already assumed the worst.

    In order to minimize the damage caused by this incident, first of all, it was necessary to keep the 1st Magic Corps, which could be said to be the strongest group of the Magic Tower Alliance, alive.

    “Just in case, I will contact Soso and try to give him as much news as possible.”

    Of course, there was a possibility that even if we talked about cancer, they would not listen to us.

    Such a possibility exists, but doesn’t that mean we can’t just sit back and leave like this?

    And more than anything… Helena is not an ordinary wizard, but a high-ranking wizard within the Magic Tower Alliance.

    Not only that, but she even has one of the Supreme Council members as her maternal uncle… so if Helena were to warn her to be careful, she wouldn’t at least pretend to listen even if she didn’t trust her 100%.

    So, we had to connect communication somehow.

    somehow.

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    At that very moment, Helena and Suhyeon were holding onto their respective portable displays and communicating in all directions.

    The 1st Magic Army Corps, which was working together with the military force dispatched by the Sichuan Group to pioneer a route to Yunnan, where the Wudokmen Gate is presumed to have been taken over by black magicians, hurriedly turned toward Hanoi after hearing the news of a terrorist attack in Europe. It was in one state.

    “Any additional news?”

    “Not yet.”

    “Does it not exist, or have we not figured it out yet? If you are going to say something, make it clear.”

    “···I haven’t figured it out yet.”

    “Why?”

    “I am trying to collect as much new information as possible by looking through not only the news but also various communities, but the communication environment itself is very poor.”

    “Tsk… So, the periphery…”

    If this was in Europe and not South Asia or something like that, even if it was in the mountains, something like this wouldn’t have happened.

    “In addition… communication attempts keep coming in with an unknown identification number.”

    “What? Then you can just block it.”

    “I am doing the same thing…but because they keep trying to communicate by changing only the identification number…”

    That’s the level of intention…

    Could it be that those who planned this terrorist incident are intentionally sabotaging it?

    To completely isolate us informationally?

    “Where are you.”

    “Yes?”

    “I heard you’ve been trying to communicate by just changing the number since a while ago? Then you’ll be able to get a rough idea of where the call came from.”

    “That… seems to be in Asia.”

    “Asia? Are you here?”

    “No, it’s East Asia.”

    what?
