Labyrinth City Mesugaki Pawn Shop

Chapter 26

26. Method (2)

Is there another way besides killing Hayden or completing the third wish…?

Dazed by the sudden notification, he was waving his head for a while, and Hayden was pointing out the window.

“But you’d better act a little fast. Union seems to be out of its power now.”

That alliance could not be overcome.

I thought that there must be people who can easily clear the steps above the 20th floor…

[Number of people : 29/30]

-1People Inability to act Status.

“The coalition was pushed back?”

With 30 minutes left in the battle, the first surprise occurred.

No matter how many people there were, there was a change in the boss, but it was a party with 30 people.

Each must have abilities exceeding level 90, but why?

“The magic of the monkey’s hand is helping LeGalette. No, rather the opposite? It seems that LeGalette is suppressing her hand and pulling it out by force.”

Following Hayden’s fingertips, there was Legarette floating in the air.

Platinum hair that does not lose its luster even in the dust, and what is so fun about it, even a wide smile.

The magic of disappearing buildings one by one with her gesture is literally a disaster itself.

“As expected, he is a child with the gift of a witch. He must not lose easily. But he doesn’t seem to be far either. Can you see behind his ear over there?”

The image seen through the window expanded as if it were a magnifying glass, and illuminated the back of Legarete’s ear.

A crack that glowed blue was slowly spreading.

It was a crack that was hard to see because it was covered by hair, a crack that would not have been easy to find unless we were higher up than Legarete.

“It’s a phenomenon that occurs when the magical power possessed by one’s body exceeds the permissible limit. If it were a normal wizard, he would have already died a hundred times, but his innate talent and casting maintains his body.”

“What if that condition persists?”

“What will happen if you inflate the balloon to the limit?”

I’m going to explode with a bang.

“If that amount of mana explodes in an instant, from here to there.”

From right to left, he pointed across the city.

“Half of the city might evaporate without a trace. It’s a good result though.”

“Is that good?”

“Isn’t that a better result than having the entire city evaporate without giving up even one weed? You don’t have to go out on your own, and you won’t have the spirit to make a third wish because of the magic that eats up your body.”

It was a good ending for both the Mage Tower and me.

The conclusion that Legarete self-destructs and I can escape if I just live in the Demon Tower without taking any damage.

However, my heart couldn’t get over it.

A bed ending where innocent people die.

I don’t know what kind of penalty will come, but since there are more than 130 chances left for a re-challenge, shouldn’t we do everything we can?

If it doesn’t work even after doing everything you can, it would be right to give up… But it was still early.

For a slightly better option, he made an offer to the Union to buy him an hour, and he came to the Magic Tower.

It is a specification to end with an ambiguous ending.

And I was overflowing with curiosity about the unidentified third option that appeared as a question mark.

“…As expected, can’t you help me just once?”

“No, if I help at will now, the balance that maintains the magic tower’s barrier will collapse.”

“Then let me ask you one thing.”

The story that Yerica told me.

The witch who took the monkey’s hand.

And an oath in her name not to use it for personal use.

After sealing it, it was stored in the basement of the Mage Tower.

“Why did the monkey’s hand, which was sealed in the basement of the Mage Tower, flow into Yan’s pawn shop?”

At those words, Hayden, whose eyebrows twitched, looked at Yerica.

“…It’s cheap, I misplaced the disciple.”

“No, I haven’t talked about it, Master! This is completely unfair.. Eup!”

“Then did I tell you?”

Silenced again by her magic, Ye Rika put on a really sad expression.

Certainly now she never spoke, I only added my guess to her one story she had before her memory was erased.

This is why people have to be careful with their mouths. Who knows when, where, and how they will come back.

“Everyone agreed that it flowed into Yan’s pawn shop. It was something agreed not only to me but also to other witches.”

“For what reason?”

“She said she had no intention of using it privately. She just said she wanted to keep it for herself.”

“But isn’t the leaked out from the pawnshop sold privately…?”

I don’t know what I received, but it was obviously a private transaction that I decided to hand over to Mr. William White.

Like a liar witch.

“It would be if the Magic Tower hadn’t been involved.”

“Yeah? That’s…”

“I notarized the transaction in the name of the Mage Tower.”

“Notarization…Ah!”

Why didn’t I know?

What I was able to find in the first contract with Yan and the contract with the Porter Association.

Because magical power is contrary to divine power, sorcerers cannot use the oath of the goddess in contracts.

That’s why it was the rule for wizards to write a contract and get it notarized.

Notarization of the magic tower they can trust the most.

Hayden is the one who oversees everything in the Mage Tower branch in the Labyrinth City.

What floated over Hayden’s hand was none other than a contract.

[BSG Pawn Shop (Yan Estoria) – William White Buy＜ B＞ Contract]

And the seal of the Mage Tower clearly imprinted on it.

It was traded for public purposes, not private ones?

“Of course, Yan didn’t just pretend to be crazy and throw away his hand. I lent it to you only once for a wish, and then I lent it under the condition that I return it again. I proceeded with my own strict restrictions It’s work.”

“What in the world did you get from Mr. William in exchange for allowing the monkey hand?”

“I don’t know. It is absurd to see.”

Handing over the contract to me, Hayden shook his head.

“It’s because you can’t look into the contents unless you’re related to the party to the contract. It’s written in completely strange letters that you can’t recognize, so I can’t figure it out.”

Content that even the branch manager of the Mage Tower, which was notarized, cannot see it.

“But you will be able to see it. The subject of the contract is not Jan Esttoria-“

“It’s a BSG pawnshop.”

And I was notarized by the Magic Tower that I became a pawnshop employee under the name of Einheri the day before, so I was qualified.

Unlike Hayden, who said he couldn’t look into it, it was very clear to me.

But…

“What does this mean…?”

How nice it would have been if I could have figured out everything just by looking at it. In particular, the descriptions for the items that Mr. William White put up as a transaction were things you wouldn’t know even after seeing them.

Unintelligible words that make your head hurt even though they are translated correctly by the power of the goddess.

“Monkey kidney cell culture fluid? Infectivity test, diploid cell proof, antibody conversion ratio non-inferiority proof…”

Words I had never seen before were listed one after another. At least, judging from the words at first glance, it’s just that it’s something related to medicine.

Previously, Legarete said that her father, Mr. William White, was the best doctor in the city, and was also a rich wealthy owner.

“Ah, he said that, Yan. He said he relieved it to some extent because he didn’t know what side effects would happen if he gave the monkey’s hand.”

“Relief?”

“They say they made an offering for their first wish first. I’ll make sure that the trade partner doesn’t pay an exorbitant price even if they make a wish.”

When he asked for 2 gold coins, he had to kill his son to get 2 gold coins as compensation for his death.

An object that makes an irrational equal exchange, the monkey hand.

Fortunately, Yan seems to have dealt with it well. After turning a few more chapters, there was something about it, so I read it.

[Woman Beard, Mountain B＞ Roots, Cat Footprints＜ B＞ Sound, Fish Breath, Bear’s Sinew, Bird’s B＞Spit As a sacrifice…]

“Well, all of them are hard to find. Somehow they asked for help and that’s it.”

From noble mtl dot com

“I have no idea…”

No, what the hell were you offering as a sacrifice!

In the next chapter, and in the next chapter, the words that I couldn’t understand continued.

“Geometric mean antibody… Inactivation, immune response… I can’t even guess what this is… For now, I’ll continue reading.”

One by one, even when I passed the first half of the contract, my hand, which was fine because I couldn’t understand the contents, was shaking non-stop now that I had almost reached the end.

“Come to think of it, Yan said that. This transaction will be a transaction that will go down in the history of the Mage Tower.”

It was only in the last chapter that I finally understood what Yan had received from William White and why he had given the monkey hand.

“…[In the Sun Patent No. ].”

Oh my God. f*ck.

“…This isn’t a thing or anything. It’s kind of a formula, no, a recipe. But how…?”

[This The fact Outside Not published No In the future All Rights BSG Pawn B＞Belongs to.]

My eyes and pupils trembled by themselves.

Because something that couldn’t have appeared in this era came out.

[Heaven(Heaven), Folio＜ /b＞ Vaccine Recipe This Swap…]

“This is polio, a vaccine against the plague! This is what the hell…”

“Vaccines? Are you talking about cowpox?”

Something that even Heyden, the elder of the Mage Tower, does not fully understand.

“The method to completely eradicate the punishment is written here! And Yan bought it! That was the subject of the deal, so the monkey hand was given!”

A way to erase polio from the world, which is considered an incurable disease and threatens the lives of many people.

And in return, the wish in exchange for the vaccine is just that.

[…Make a wish Make a wish. My Daughter, Legarete B＞White With Cheol ＜ B＞Complete cure.]

It was to restore Legarete’s lost leg.

“Mr. William White developed a prevention method, not a cure… That’s why he exchanged it. It comes with a price, but the monkey hand that can make any wish come true. This is a trade-off between prevention and treatment!”

I understood why Yan had taken out an item that was dangerous enough to be sealed in the basement of the Mage Tower.

William White developed a vaccine, but it was not a cure for his daughter, Legarete, so if a vaccine could save thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of millions of people in the future, it would be worth stepping on the scales of the deal. Just because.

It was a story where everyone could be happy.

Yan got a vaccine that would control the fate of countless people in this world.

Mr. William White was able to heal Legarete’s leg with the monkey hand obtained in exchange for the vaccine.

However, the story did not go so well.

“It was because of me.”

It happened because I opened the box there.

Since I mistakenly opened the box that Mr. William should have received and opened first, the wish that should have come true did not come true, and the city was caught up in the mystery.

It caused something that wouldn’t happen, and made the city swept away by phone calls.

It was all my fault.

Blood flowed from his bitten lips, but he felt no pain.

Only the result comes to mind.

The bitter taste of blood lingered in my mouth.

Legarete, who is laughing and crushing buildings beyond the window…

It was a monster I created.

So I had to turn it back.

End of decision (結者解之).

“Hayden, can I say something crazy?”

“Does what you just said sounds crazy enough? It can’t be possible to get rid of the punishment.”

Hayden let out a silly laugh.

“Magic Tower, I’m going to buy it entirely.”

“What? hahahahaha, what a big dream.”

“Hayden-sama, aren’t you curious? Why is the Union using such energy to fight against Legarete? In their situation, they would only lose a single one of them.”

The building was still collapsing outside, and sparks were flying.

“I decided to give what the entire coalition desperately wanted. That’s why I rushed like that. But isn’t the safety of the Mage Tower the top priority that Hayden wants?”

“…So what are you going to do?”

The laughter stopped before I knew it, and tension hovered around Hayden’s eyes.

“Mage Tower Branch of the Labyrinth City, what was the sales for the past year?”

“…It was about 200,000 gold per quarter. It would be about 800,000 gold in total.”

It was not a magic tower, but a monumental tower.

“A transaction is made only when the things to be put on each other’s scales are equal. However, Mr. Hayden already has nothing but the safety of the Magic Tower, so the weight does not match. So I want to add more weight.”

And I intended to build that monumental tower into the Tower of Babel.

“Let’s start with double. I’ll give you 1.6 Million gold. Please help me.”

“What?”

“Ah, is it not enough? Then 3.2 Million gold”

It is the law to do it boldly when making a transaction.

Even if you throw rice cakes and bait in halfway, it will only eat the tip while watching the liver, and will not bite openly.

“You’re really good at jokes.”

“Does this look like a joke? I’m talking seriously right now.”

I was confident that I could make that much money.

And the Mage Tower was definitely needed, because there is no way that anything would change just because I became one more in a situation where even the alliance was being pushed back like that.

I decided to do everything I could to undo my mistake.

“What Hayden-nim wants is just peace and well-being in the Magic Tower, but what I want is to break that peace and jump into the turmoil outside, so I have to summon this much to balance the balance.”

“Are you trying to buy me with money! Are you trying to insult me!”

It was too much money to scold.

“Twice as much, 6.4 Million gold”

“Heee!”

At such an absurd amount, no one could say anything.

Since Yerica’s eyes looking at me are looking at a madman, well, I’m done talking.

Floren, who had returned before she knew it, was also opening her mouth.

“…What on earth do you believe in asking such an amount?”

“I’m going to give you something similar to what I handed over to the Alliance. I think that’s enough money to earn.”

“Did you give the Alliance a dragon’s heart?”

“I gave something more valuable than money. If it was simply money, no matter how much money I gave, the alliance wouldn’t move.”

This old man also sounds similar to the head of the association, the dragon’s heart.
