Chapter 225 Fall of the Empire (2)


    Ah''s magic wand ranked 124th in the ranking of wizards belonging to the Blue Mage Tower.


    After selling himself to the Mage Tower to learn the 5th circle magic, he was bound by the contradictory main scenario, and he was confused by the message that came at an unexpected moment.


    [The main scenario is updated.]


    [The quest has been changed.]


    [Please check the rted information.]


    “Huh? What is this?”


    Notification that the main scenario has been updated and that you must check the quest. Feeling curious about the phrase he had never seen before, he inadvertently opened the quest window and was shocked by the contents.


    “Wow... what is this...?”


    The fourth main scenario that was clearly named Continental War. However, the newly changed quest had apletely different name and content than before.


    [Act. 4 The Fall of the Empire]


    The Harmel Empire killed the great and outstanding wizards of the 5th Mage Tower in a cowardly and cruel way. All wizards were astonished and enraged at the vicious and shocking behavior of these people. Honor your predecessors who were brutally murdered and bring a righteous condemnation to the Empire and its followers for the unforgivable.


    [Clear Conditions] -upation of


    the Imperial Castle of the Harmel Empire


    -Defeat of Prince Dmitry Il (0/1)


    -Recovering Dragon


    Bones (0/1)


    You can receive rewards from. > An


    extremely difficult quest to capture the Imperial Castle of the Harmel Empire, punish Prince Il, the next emperor, and even retrieve the Dragon Bone. However, as if there were no options for him, he was asking for a quest that had already been definitively created.


    He said to help the Mage Towerpletely destroy the Harmel Empire.


    “What a ridiculous quest like this...”


    Harmel, the great empire thatpletely dominates the eastern part of the continent. The image of the Harmel Empire embedded in Ah''s magic wand was not a ce that could be easily destroyed, no matter how many of the five Mage Towers joined together, so absurdity bloomed on his face.


    But...


    Contrary to his thoughts, the situation in reality began to turn strangely.


    “You all heard the news, right?”


    The rulers of the 5 Great Mage Towers gathered again.


    Unlike the previous atmosphere, in the meeting that started in suffocating silence and solemnity, Gallia spoke first.


    “First of all, let''smemorate our friends who died in this attack by the Harmel Empire.”


    Aftermemorating them with silence for a moment, he said with a cold face.


    “You don’t have to exin why we gathered, so you’ll know, so let’s get straight to the point. What should I do with the Harmel Empire, which would not be enough to chew on?”


    The Harmel Empire inflicted a surprise attack on the high-ranking magic corps, the core force of the 5 Mage Towers, and nearly annihted them. The scale of the damage was slightly different for each mage tower, but the situation in which they lost the key talents and students who would lead the future was the same, so both privately and publicly, they were very upset.


    “What do you do? We just have to wipe it all out.”


    In response to Galia''s question, Mael utters extreme remarks to the point that the young girl''s appearance seems very foreign. She shouted, swearing revenge with burning eyes.


    “I should have known in advance the level of the thieves of the Empire. Do you dare to touch the magic tower without knowing the subject? And all of the five magic towers?”


    Mael''s teeth gnashed to the point of breaking as if he could never forgive him. When powerful mana started gushing out of her small body, who seemed to be about 10 years old, other tower owners also radiated hostility simrly to her and sympathized with her.


    “Hundreds of years after the Argamer Crisis... we were quiet.”


    “Anyway... I really didn''t expect it to look this funny.”


    “It seems necessary to take this opportunity to let the entire continent know the potential of our mage tower.”


    A ck mage tower symbolizing death and destruction.


    A blue mage tower that symbolizes wisdom and reason.


    A green magic tower symbolizing peace and cirction.


    A red mage tower that symbolizes struggle and passion.


    A gray mage tower that symbolizes truth and suffering.


    From the originally warlike and aggressive Mage Tower to the gentle and peaceful Mage Tower. A situation where everyone wants bloody revenge without cover. Therefore, the oue of this meeting was decided very simply and simply, unlike many other discussions in the past.


    “Then it''s decided.....”


    Galia, the lord of the blue turret, met the eyes of the 4 lords of the turret gathered at this round table. He is the highest authority and absolute decision-making body of all wizards.


    Dered as head of the Supreme Council of Magic.


    “From this moment on, all the Mage Towers will take absolute and full-strength retaliatory measures against the Harmel Empire. Close all branches in the Harmel Empire and neutralize all active warp gates and other defensive barriers. Also...”


    Countless warp gates installed in the Harmel Empire. And the defensive barriers installed to defend various forts and forts. He ordered the destruction of all magical infrastructures throughout the empire.


    Knowingly or unknowingly benefiting from countless magical systems, the Harmel Empire would be thrown into great chaos, but unfortunately, this was just a small part of the myriad retaliatory measures that the Mage Tower could take.


    “For the Harmel Empire and all countries and organizations that cooperate with them, the export of all magic tools, including scrolls, magic stones, magic items, magic materials, magic potions, and more, ispletely prohibited. Also, those who vite this measure are regarded as enemies of the Mage Tower and punished with all their might. And...”


    Orders for retaliation against the Harmel Empire that are constantly pouring out. And finally, he jumped up from his seat and dered, spewing out mighty mana.


    “Finally... the Supreme Magic Council is the first prince of the Harmel Empire, Dmitri, and his followers, who triggered this tragic war. And I will ask the current emperor of the Harmel Empire to take all responsibility.”


    The instigator of this continental war.


    Dmitry. and the nobles under him. In addition to the current emperor of the Harmel Empire... In this retaliatory measure by the Mage Tower, Gallia, who designated the target to be punished unconditionally, looked at the other 4 Mage Tower masters, emitting powerful mana and burning their silent fighting spirit, and said.


    “Blood revenge for all who brutally murdered our precious brothers and sisters.”


    That''s how all the 5 major tower masters participated in this war.


    All the reclusive strongest people who are at the edge of the 7th circle and are on the verge of reaching the 8th circle.


    * * *


    Alice, a wless artificial intelligence and administrator who oversees everything in Arcadia.


    Another executive meeting convened to announce her new update.


    Inside, Director Kang Tae-hoon was reporting to various department heads and executives about new changes with a serious face.


    “So... you mean that the newly changed quest, Fall of the Empire, was applied only to users belonging to the Mage Tower?”


    “That''s right.”


    “Then, the dissatisfaction of the users whoined about camp issues must have been resolved. This is because the existing contradictory quests have been deleted and new quests have been created.”


    A situation where rtedints were pouring in countless times. So, the manager of the customer satisfaction team muttered with a sigh of relief, but Kang Tae-hoon shook his head with a serious face at him.


    “That is a serious problem.”


    “yes....? What do you mean by that?”


    Executives and managers who have not yet grasped the situation urately. To them, Manager Kang Tae-hoon sighed heavily as if he was frustrated and began to exin the current situation step by step.


    “The trigger for this updated scenario is the surprise attack by the Harmel Empire on the magic corps of the 5th Mage Tower.”


    What is included in meeting materials. Those who were already familiar with the contents looked at Director Kang Tae-hoon with eyes that said they knew everything.


    “You know that. Isn''t that why the 5 Magic Towers will officially participate in the war and attack the Harmel Empire? Isn''t this really different from the previous change of position? It just made their decision a little more clear.”


    In the first ce, the 5th Mage Tower had changed its stance from the Harmel Empire to the Barmal Empire. Since it was already decided to be hostile to the Harmel Empire, Director Kang Tae-hoon refuted an executive''s question as to what was the problem.


    “The problem is that the Mage Tower that made that decisionpletely opened its lid.”


    The Harmel Empire, who had almostpletely annihted the core personnel of the 5 Mage Towers and the students who would have been cherished and nurtured by the owners of the Mage Tower.


    If the 5 Mage Towers had originally decided to go to war only for the benefit of the Mage Towers without any emotion, they were now rushing into the war with selfish intentions to erase the Harmel Empire from the map.


    “It has not yet been confirmed urately, but... If we analyze the data and patterns we have now identified, the result that will be triggered by the 5 Mage Towers is the ruin of the empire.”


    Originally, bloodshed could have been avoided if only the dragon bones were quietly released. However, these wizards, now with their eyes wide open and sharpening their staff, did not care about the Dragonborn and were only looking for bloodshed.


    “Then... does that mean that the Harmel Empire can be destroyed...?”


    “Maybe it will.”


    The fall of the Harmel Empire, which controlled the eastern part of the second continent of Arcadia.


    At the words of general manager Kang Tae-hun that the main scenario would end with a destruction ending again, sighs were heard from here and there.


    “Heh heh.....”


    “Again...? Another destruction...?”


    “The media and the users must be in a frenzy...”


    Arcadia executives and staff who created and operated famous game IPs while working for famous gamepanies in the past. That''s why they shook their heads with annoyed faces, feeling fed up with this main scenario that brought about the worst ending.


    “This... How can I lower the hostility level?”


    -999.


    The hostility of the 5 Mage Towers against the Harmel Empire.


    I just looked at the huge likability level, which was stamped as the enemy of the enemy, and asked if it could be adjusted a little, but Manager Kang Tae-hun nced sideways at President Lee Mi-yeon and said,


    “It is possible to artificially lower the hostility level in order to prevent the worst oue... but that is because the only person on our side who has the authority... is the president...


    ” Employees who look earnestly towards them. However, she smiled and said firmly without a single word of concern.


    “oh. I don’t know why everyone is looking at me, but you better hope for what you want.”


    President Lee Mi-yeon, smiling brightly, asserts that such a thing will never happen. At her words, the executives and employees in the conference room thought to themselves.


    ‘That''s right.....''


    ‘Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities are a piece of shit. The game is all about to explode. What kind of freedom is freedom?''


    ‘Isn''t this enough to just enjoy making the game explode?''


    Rumors from time to time.


    It was the executives and employees who felt a strange credence to the myth that the boss had a perverted (?) taste for games being ruined. And then, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked General Manager Kang Tae-hoon.


    “Chief Kang Tae-Hoon, is there any data other than this about the Mage Tower’s disposition of users?”


    “yes....?”


    CEO Lee Mi-yeon carefully examines the data written by Kang Tae-hun. She searched for something with strange eyes, then asked meaningfully.


    “No, I think the current situation is simr to the witch hunt that happened in the past.”


    “witch.... Hunting?”


    The worst incident that happened on the Korean continent.


    He asked, looking anxiously at President Lee Mi-yeon, who mentioned what was taboo among the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., where users who were divided into good and evil fought a bloody war with each other.


    “Didn''t you say that the Mage Tower punishes the Harmel Empire and all those rted to them?”


    “From the data point of view, yes.”


    “Then, what happens to the users who chose the side of the Harmel Empire in this main scenario?”


    “yes....? yes?!”


    A magic tower that vowed to destroy all those rted to the Harmel Empire with all its might. As the list of countless users who will be written in their killing book passed through their heads, the faces of the executives and staff members turned white in an instant.


    “Wait a minute. If that happens.....”


    “This crazy.....”


    Executives and employees hurriedly flip through the meeting materials at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon. Before they could find it, President Lee Mi-yeon kindly read a phrase out loud.


    “Oh, here it is. ‘If the selected faction is defeated, you may receive a penalty''. ording to the phrase here.... If the Harmel Empire is defeated, I think the users who chose this faction will probably receive a fair retribution from the Mage Tower...” A short


    phrase written in the quest description window of this main scenario. After kindly reading it, CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered teasingly as she looked at all the employees who were frozen in a daze.


    “I''m sure everyone will be busier soon? The phone is going to be on fire.”
