“It’s really not a big deal…”

Could it be that he couldn’t get over my repeated interrogations?

After just babbling like that for a while, he finally confessed about the identity of the object that Tang Soso had thrown into the magic circle.

“Just… a little poison bullet?”

“Poison!?”

“The word is poison, but in reality, it is something close to an anesthetic.”

“Ah… was that something like that? I also…”

I thought it was really poison.

“Well, the effect is slightly stronger than those commonly used in hospitals.”

“How much is a little bit?”

“Hmm… If you inhale too much, will you get cramps all over your body?”

“Of course it’s poison…”

“If you look at it that way, drinking too much water is equally dangerous to your life.”

So, should we consider water as poison?

I was at a loss for words due to the party’s actions of subtly pressuring me with logic that was virtually the same as saying that.

“And other than that…”

“It wasn’t one?!”

Surely all I saw was one…?

Is this how Hogu feels after being washed up in a gambling den?

I was so devastated that I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.

“A poison with strong hallucinogenic effects for anti-magic users that dissipates the mana within the body the moment it is inhaled?”

“You said it was a gift, but you just put your sincerity into it…”

Is this the party’s secret technology?

It’s scary…

“Why are you using the polite language again…?”

“For some reason, I want to do that?”

“Please speak informally, not politely.”

“Not the other way around?”

“Speak informally.”

“Yeah, right…”

I don’t tend to attach much importance to things like the way one speaks, but I wonder if that wasn’t the case for Tang Soso as well.

It was a party center that particularly insisted on speaking informally, as if it was regarded as a kind of badge.

Look at it as evidence.

As soon as my tone reverted back to informality, didn’t Helena start showing off?

Of course, in the case of Helena, I was so busy overseeing the scene that I did not see the provocative motions of the party.

Since ancient times, palms have to be touched together to make a sound.

The party who had to give up after being provoked was so preoccupied with something else that it felt like provoking the other party.

Dang So-so, who had returned to his usual self as if he had been acting provocatively for some time, looked back at me and Ha-young and asked.

“So what does this do?”

Without even knowing what he was doing, he started by throwing poison bullets…?

Is this the Sacheon Tangga?

I think I finally understand why other martial arts people despise people just because they see the name Danga…

For a moment, I suddenly felt admiration(?) as I watched Dang So-so, who had so casually committed an act that others could not even imagine, before opening my mouth to answer Dang So-so’s question.

“That’s actually true…”

Thanks to Hayoung’s help with my actions, I was able to completely understand the other person in the first attempt without much trial and error.

“Hmm, indeed… it’s not an unlikely story. Should I say that it looks rather high…”

“Right?”

“Holding the opponent’s main force or knocking it down through minimal spending is one of the ideal situations that often appears in places such as The Art of War.”

After shaking his head as if he understood everything for a moment, Tang Soso asked a question with an indifferent expression.

“So you ended up deciding to join hands with the Magic Tower Alliance?”

It was clearly a question asked with an indifferent expression and voice, but I wonder if it was just my mood that made me feel nervous after being asked that question.

That can’t be possible.

At this moment, my intuition was speaking.

This is a test.

So, it would be a good idea to think carefully before answering.

“Well… there is such an intention. That’s not everything though.”

“Not everything…?”

“If there were only Magic Tower Alliance personnel on the Vietnamese side, they wouldn’t have paid this much attention. But that’s not it, right?”

“Ah, um…”

“In the grand scheme of things, the people there are all family and relatives?”

“That’s right… That’s right…”

We just haven’t had a formal ceremony yet, but aren’t we already a family?

A blush began to creep across Dangsoso’s face at my remark, which was nothing more than saying that in reality.

Thanks to that, I didn’t miss the opportunity that came up and continued talking.

“But if there is a problem with the teleport terminal in Hanoi, won’t the people there be in trouble?”

How can it only get into trouble?

In the worst case, your life could be in danger.

However, bringing up those words seemed a bit odd, so I tried to sum them up roughly, but I guess I was able to catch what I was ultimately trying to say right away.

Tang Xiaoxiao’s face, which had been slightly embarrassed just a moment ago, hardened.

“So I decided to do what I could right away. That was just adding a helping hand to the Magic Tower Alliance.”

I wonder if my face got hot all over again as I thought of myself secretly showing jealousy toward my intentions, which could be said to be noble.

“Hmmmm… If you were thinking that way, please let me know… If so, I would have cooperated as much as possible…”

Tang Soso cleared his throat several times with a low, muttering voice.

It must have been a moment when Dang So-so, who was busy looking embarrassed, was steadily capturing it in his eyes.

“If we’ve made it this far, I think we can take a breather for a while.”

Helena, who was busy directing other wizards while standing in the middle of the road leading to numerous platforms, joined us again.

“Even so, it is only a temporary measure.”

I feel like about 15 minutes have passed now, but given the situation, I guess I had no choice but to get completely exhausted.

Helena’s face looked very tired as she said that.

It may be because of my mood, but I should say that my cheeks seem a little more pale than before.

“That’s why I’m saying this… I need help.”

“What kind of help…?”

“For now, we have confirmed that the other side’s goal is to artificially create a magic storm, and although they have temporarily eliminated the threat through unexpected methods, this is only a temporary measure.”

That’s right.

The opponents are crazy people who will use any means to the extent of planning terrorism for their own purposes.

Would those guys just give up just because something went awry?

If someone comes to me and asks me a question related to that, I will answer without even thinking about it.

Is that possible?

What does it mean to not choose any means or methods when trying to achieve something in the first place?

It can mean that the other person is crazy, but it can also be interpreted to mean that they want it so desperately.

‘There is no way a person without common sense would commit such a crazy act…’

More than anything… you can’t help but be desperate.

The moment the plan fails, it is as if one’s nose hairs have been pulled out while one is sleeping. A giant named the Magic Tower Alliance is so angry that it wanders around everywhere, hunting down anyone who has anything to do with the incident. Because they’re going to catch you and kill you.

It’s obvious that such a future will come the moment you fail, so how can you not be desperate?

So I will try to find a solution somehow.

If that happens, it will literally be an instant before the measures put forward by this side are blocked.

That is probably the possibility that Helena is worried about at this moment.

And on the other hand, the fact that he mentioned it at this time means that he had something else in mind.

If it weren’t for Helena’s personality, which I’ve seen so far, she wouldn’t have said it like this.

“Do you have any other method in mind?”

So I tried my luck like that… and sure enough, Helena nodded when she heard my question.

It was as if he was just waiting for me to ask that question.

At the moment when I felt slightly uneasy about Helena’s attitude, the answers to the questions I posed began to flow into my ears.

“In the end, isn’t the problem that someone is trying to artificially induce a magic storm phenomenon?”

“Yes… right?”

“Then, for the purpose of inducing such a thing, wouldn’t it be enough to clean up those who would have stayed in the rear without leaving a single one behind?”

Now that we have some time, let’s take advantage of this opportunity and attack the enemies.

Helena was saying that.
