Wizard of Veritas
The wizards who were kicked out of the library wandered the streets looking for an inn where they could stay for the day.
However, a slightly awkward situation occurred.
Because the building style of the city was so unfamiliar, it was not easy to find an inn that suited them.
Ryokans also have grades.
A high-class inn for nobles, an inn for knights and wizards who travel to various places to train as a raider, and a cheap inn for commoners or ordinary people.
Although they were wizards who had learned their own magic, they did not earn money while working as a raider in earnest, so they were not in such a good mood that they could not pay unless it was a cheap inn.
So, I tried to find a cheap inn to stay, but the inns in the Graves could not predict the cost of accommodation just by looking at the exterior.
Newly built buildings, unfamiliar but sophisticated designs, and ryokans with a magic gate, which are usually installed only in high-end inns for nobles.
“I can’t help it. All we have to do is go to each inn and ask for the price.”
The wizards who agreed with the party’s story went to the inn that stood out first, and immediately regretted it.Read at noblemtl.com
Just like the Tower of Truth, the air was clear and clean and warm at the same time.
It must have been a high-end inn with air conditioning and air purifying functions.
However,
“Yes? How much does it cost to stay?”
“It is 3 silver per night for a triple room.”
“Isn’t it three gold?”
not cheap
The price of a cheap 500ml beer was equivalent to buying 12 beers for a quarter, that is, 25 bronzes.
A cheap inn for commoners paid about 1 silver per night, so it’s three times more expensive.
However, considering that the cost of lodging at a ryokan for attackers who value physical condition management is usually around 5 to 10 silver, it is surprisingly cheap to think that the accommodation cost at this place with better facilities is only 3 silver. there was.
But that made me question it.
“Is that just for maintenance?”
Even the heating and cooling costs of the entire building of the inn would have to be used at least a D-grade or maybe a whole C-grade mana stone per month.
If you count the value, it’s about 20 gold.
If the cost of lodging in a three-person room was three silvers, it would have to be at least 660 guests per month to barely win the prize.
The innkeeper responded with a bright smile to the expression that such wizards could not understand.
“Because this is the Grave Spirit.”
The wizards still poured their questions on the innkeeper with a look of incomprehension.
As a result, the answers they got were surprising.
Citizens of the Graves can enjoy the blessing of magic at the push of a button through the magic circulation system built around Veritas, the tower of truth.
Even the price was very cheap, but the average monthly tax for a family of four is 5 to 10 silvers at most, and it was difficult to get a magic consumption tax of more than 50 silver no matter how much magic power was used in such an inn.
Their surprise was bound to increase when they actually found the accommodation they were given.
Despite the fact that this inn was for the common people, it was equipped with a shower room, as well as a magwanggu, heating and cooling, and air purification.
It couldn’t be more luxurious than a high-end inn for aristocrats.
How about the scent of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower room?
They reminded themselves of how bright and fragrant the faces of common people they had seen during the day.
It was embarrassing to think of them walking around, covered in dust and smelling sweat, so they flushed out their poison with warm water.
After taking a shower like that, I left my body on the bed, and I felt refreshed for nothing.
They were able to fall into a deep sleep in a strange feeling of not knowing whether this was really a dream or real life.

The day was bright.
Today was the day I went to City Hall and got my Grave Territory citizenship.
As long as they have the citizenship of the Graves, they will finally be able to become the magicians belonging to the tower that they have longed for.
Of course, it still didn’t feel real.
Anyone can learn magic just by getting citizenship.
However, they had a dreamlike day with only 3 silver lodging fees, and they were prepared to bury their bones here even if they could not become disciples of the tower.
who are different
They travel all over the country to exchange knowledge with wizards who have learned magic through self-education, and are proud to have experienced various provinces, but none of them have been such a good place to live.
After having a light breakfast on the first floor of the inn, the wizards were able to quickly obtain citizenship by visiting the city hall.
If your identity is uncertain.
For example, among the poor born in the slums, there are cases where their existence itself is not recognized because they have not proven their existence through official documents throughout their lives.
In that case, the procedure is a little more complicated, but these are wizards who are registered as attackers.
The Grave Spirits, who are being assisted by the Holy Empire, possessed an attack license, so they were able to quickly obtain citizenship through it.
And when we took it and went to Veritas, the tower of truth, that was the end of it.
“Congratulations. You are now the magic tower of truth, the wizards of Veritas.”
“Really this simple?”
“But there is one thing you should be aware of.”
“What is it?”
“Any identities and positions that existed before you signed up for Veritas are not valid on Veritas. Even if you were of noble origin before joining Veritas, you are just a wizard here. Veritas will not respect you because of your high social status, and your status within Veritas will only be divided by the academic knowledge and magical power of a wizard.”
Currently, there are 1st stage wizards and 2nd stage wizards in Veritas.
The first disciples are half-demons, which are regarded as slaves in the Philo Empire, and the famous celestial horses with the bright ring.
However, if a magician from a noble family joins as a second-generation wizard, the nobles will have to use their honorific titles while treating the heavenly demons as seniors.
It was the same with them.
Although they were wizards from the poor, their magical status was relatively high.
A magician of the 4th and 5th circles.
Among the first wizards of Veritas, they are equivalent to the 3rd circle of quantum magic and the 5th circle in terms of conventional wizards, so they are equal to them, but they cannot follow them with their academic knowledge.
Of course, in the case of existing magic, the magical knowledge accumulated by traveling all over the country cannot be compared with those of ordinary soldiers, but learning here is different from existing magic.
quantum magic.
The secrets recorded in the magic book of truth they read in the library were sophisticated and systematic enough to turn their knowledge accumulated by interacting with numerous wizards into meaningless nonsense.
As they belong to Veritas and learn magic from scratch, they are treated as only ‘real wizards’.
Therefore, no matter how high the existing status is, it has no meaning in Veritas.
As newcomers, they have to build up their academic knowledge from scratch and achieve magic.
Of course, that was something they were also looking forward to.
And with them came the first ordeal.
After a few days of waiting, Veritas finally started training for the 2nd class wizards.
Inaugurated as the professor was a 2.5-meter-tall man wearing buffalo horns and covered in ragged muscles.
Even so, the appearance of wearing a thin robe as if claiming to be a wizard was hard to get used to.
He said.
“You must forget all the magic you have been taught. The magic you will learn from now on is quantum magic. As a science that is different from the existing magic system, you need to close the existing circle engraved in your heart and engrave a new circle, the light ring on your head.”
Naturally, the fierce reaction of the wizards followed.
No wonder the circle is the life of a wizard.
It is an asset they have cherished all their lives.
No wizard would easily accept the idea of closing a circle that had been developing for decades and having to start over from scratch.
However, as if he knew he would react like that, Chunma raised a light ring on the buffalo’s horn.
An amount of magical power comparable to that of the 6th circle is emitted from the activated circle.
It wasn’t just that.
It’s not perfect yet, but using the principle of Raging Blast, it has begun to overwhelm the crowd with an amount of magical power comparable to that of the 7th circle.
However, apart from the violent energy, Chunma continued to speak in a calm and cool tone.
“Until a year ago, I was a 2nd circle wizard belonging to a single magic corps. However, the moment I gave up the old state and formed a new circle on my head, I was immediately able to use the magic of the 3rd circle, and 8 months after that, I can use the 7th circle without too much trouble.”
It’s ridiculous.
But it was true.
A heavenly horse with buffalo horns, Bison was a genius.
Although no one had ever taught him, he only heard that wizards carve circles on his heart, and he felt the magic by himself and was able to engrave a circle on his own heart.
However, no matter how genius he was, the circle he engraved without a clear system was bound to be incomplete.
That talent was developed through quantum magic.
The four light wheels formed above his head and the magic of Taegeuk raised his level to the level of the 7th circle.
In just eight months, he was reborn as one of the best wizards in the Radiant Continent, reaching the top level.
“Perhaps there are some wizards among you who are naturally gifted but have reached their limits due to lack of proper education. Even if it is not now, if you continue to grow your current circle as it is, there may come a day when you will hit that limit someday. That is why you must close the current circle as soon as possible and learn quantum magic.”
And he continued.
“half a year. Half a year is enough. No matter how talented you are, I promise you that it will not take half a year to catch up to the current state if you put in enough effort.”
afraid.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid.
However, the celestial horse that existed before his eyes caught the attention of wizards at a glance because of the beautiful light ring on his head.
Xerath, the second magician of Veritas, who possesses the status of the 5th circle, resolutely broke the circle of the heart that he had cultivated for 20 years.
That evening, a dazzling ray of light appeared above his head.
