This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 36 The Opportunity Has Arrived!

"At the moment of the attack, I barely saw the kinetic energy of the paper ball."

"But one thing is certain: it will definitely not be a simple throw in the real world."

"A throw that arrives almost instantly cannot be achieved by sheer force."

"There are other extraordinary characteristics at play."

"It looks very much like some kind of [Phase] talent."

Hilor quickly came up with his own guess.

"Enter the 'phase layer' at the starting point of the attack, and leave the phase layer at the landing point of the attack."

"A remarkable talent that almost ignores a certain distance."

"Whether it's a [phase] or not, one thing is certain: there are other extraordinary characteristics at play, and these extraordinary characteristics are very strong."

"Does he... really not know how powerful his ability is?"

"Or rather... he knows, but... he pretends not to know."

Tucker was already petting the cat.

Hilor confirmed one thing.

That is the truth of what his brother Carlos said.

"Tucker always pulls off an outrageous move when you think he's just an ordinary guy."

"That's really a bit outrageous."

"Do you... know that your ability is extremely powerful?" Hilor asked slowly.

"What do you think?" Tucker replied casually.

"So, you should have also developed this special talent trait to complement your shooting style," Hilor asked again.

"Of course!" Tucker nodded again.

Based on what she saw before her, and the fact that Carlos had told her earlier that Tucker had killed a second-tier human-faced stone serpent with two shots when he was an apprentice wizard, she realized that...

Hilor had already formed a general judgment in his mind.

"It might be able to play a significant role."

"However, their overall strength remains to be seen."

"He can even participate in underground expeditions."

After a moment, Hilor looked at Tucker and spoke formally.

"I still have some influence inside the tower. If you need anything, you can come and find me anytime."

Tucker thought about it carefully before speaking.

"I really need your help right now."

"Could you prepare a document for me regarding the upper echelons of the tower, key tower members, and numerous apprentices?"

Tucker's request was extremely unreasonable and outrageous.

This request should be made to Lord Aubrey.

Tucker is probably going to be suspected of being a follower of an evil god on the spot.

But even though it was brought up by Hilor.

Hilor still looked at Tucker with a very strange expression.

Fortunately, Tucker had already shown enough sincerity beforehand.

After some consideration, Hilor slowly said, "It can only be simple information."

"Simple is enough."

Tucker nodded in response.

…………

Tower District.

Towers, some tall and some short, stood amidst the crimson embers.

Tucker glanced at the "Sun of Ashes".

It's coming to an end.

And the Moon of Ashes is already in the sky, poised to strike.

A chill crept into Tucker's heart for no apparent reason.

"In this land of ashes, even the tallest towers are not safe!"

As Tucker silently traversed the blood-red tower world and headed towards the Tower of the Dead, he took a deep breath.

Tucker has already read the information provided by Hilor.

When the sacrifice was performed, Tucker sensed that there was a stronghold of an evil god in the Tower District.

And through this source energy baptism.

Tucker identified two individuals suspected of being followers of an evil god.

One of them was the guy who was secretly keeping an eye on Carlos.

Another extraordinary characteristic of the source pool [nurturing] is infused into the sequence ecosystem.

The guy's subtle Dark Sun characteristics were revealed and Tucker caught them.

Tucker encountered two during this baptism alone.

no doubt.

Members of the evil god organization "Church of the Dark Sun" have not only taken root in the tower, but have also deeply penetrated it.

That's why Tucker didn't dare to act rashly and could only investigate secretly.

After all, if it were truly touched, who could be sure that the Tower of Lamor hadn't been corrupted by the evil god?

Many city-states show no signs whatsoever before terror and pollution erupt.

Moreover, this time, a genius member of an A-level evil god organization has also come to the city-state of Lamor Tower.

There's a problem with the city-state of Lamor Tower.

What Tucker needs to do is improve his strength and ensure his safety in this complex situation.

If... we can conveniently sabotage the plans of the "Church of the Dark Sun".

Tucker didn't hold back and gave him a hard kick.

even!

The chance to give them a good kick is coming soon.

A short while later, Carlos appeared from the shadows.

"That fellow is the son of one of Baron Lamore's knight guards."

"Call him Amberson."

Carlos, who was traveling with Tucker, lowered his voice.

"His talent is average, but there are quite a few people like him in the Tower District."

"After the baptism, the guy walked around, seemingly looking for someone."

"I'm most likely the target."

"It is indeed suspicious. Should we arrest him and question him?" Carlos suggested.

"We are not authorized to arrest people in the tower."

Tucker shook his head.

"Didn't you say that guy's father was a knight of Earl Lamore?"

"Yes!"

"Great, tell your sister, she should be able to handle it well."

Inside the tower, Tucker was all alone and naturally dared not provoke those powerful beings.

Tucker could die unjustly if he's not careful.

But... Hillor is different.

As someone who prioritizes her brother's well-being above all else, it's impossible for Hilor to ignore the threat her brother is in.

"Okay! I understand!"

Carlos nodded cautiously, recalling the time he had accompanied Tucker to complete the excavation of the Demon King's tomb.

After taking credit for the achievement, he had Hilor report it, and he received a substantial reward.

This Source Pool baptism is one of them.

If you follow Tucker, you'll get what you deserve.

He understood this simple and straightforward principle very well.

And this time, it seems that another opportunity is coming.

Watching Carlos's departing figure.

Tucker rubbed his temples.

"Sending them directly to keep an eye on Carlos is such a simple and crude method that even if you dig deep, you probably won't find any clues."

"On the contrary, taking down that guy will make the beings hidden inside the tower more cautious."

"This will also make Carlos safer, which can be considered as payment for the information given by Sirol."

"Hopefully, there will be some good news from Amanti."

When Tucker returned to the Tower of the Dead.

Amanti still hasn't sent any messages back.

This made Tucker frown slightly.

"Won't something go wrong if I let her do this kind of thing?"

"Although she leveled up twice during this baptism, reaching level 26."

"But that guy, the Night Priest named 'Taniru,' is no pushover either; he's level 25."

With that thought in mind, Tucker waited quietly at the entrance to the Tower of the Dead.

And this wait lasted for more than three hours.

When a black dragonfly, an undead, silently landed beside Tucker.

Tucker was relieved.

A short while later, Amanti arrived.

"After the priest finished his baptism, he left the Tower District."

"That priest seemed very cautious; he even went to the tavern in the hive district and stayed there for an hour."

"I used a dragonfly to follow him all the way, and finally the priest entered a house in the bunker area."

"This is the pastor's address."

As she spoke, Amanti handed over the slip of paper with the house number written on it.

"The bunker area?"

Tucker's spirits jolted slightly as he took the note.

According to Takna's information.

That priest, named Tanil, was an ordinary Tower Apprentice with considerable talent.

Normally, Tanil should live in the tower.

Now that the Gray Night period is approaching, Tanil should be studying in the Tower.

However, Taniru went to the bunker area.

Strictly speaking, there's nothing to doubt about that.

but!

That genius from the A-level evil god organization is in the bunker district.

Moreover, it is possible that the upgrade will take place during this Ash Night period, when the Ash Night is at its coldest.

This Tanilu is very likely one of the people who participated in the ceremony.

After all, Tanil also worshipped the Dark Sun.

With that thought in mind, Tucker looked at Amanti.

"Get ready in the next couple of days, the adventure is about to begin."

"Is it about to begin?" Amantillo asked, somewhat surprised.

"But doesn't it usually start on the gray days? The gray night period will begin in a couple of days."

"That's right, the prey really make their move during the gray night!"

Tucker said slowly.
