I Alone Going To The Tower

I took a taxi with Jeong Seo-jin and returned to the headquarters building.

"Uh, huh?"

“Chairman, what the hell is that…!”

Jeong Seo-jin's shirt was burned and disappeared, and his suit pants turned into shorts. He was like a beggar who wore only one pair of shoes.

The eyes of the bodyguards, who looked at Jeong Seo-jin with a surprised face, naturally turned to me, who was next to me.

"You bastard! What the hell are you doing to the president...!"

"It's not his fault."

Jeong Seo-jin said with a smile.

"Please do good security and bring a pair of clothes so that there is no disturbance."

"Oh, I see!"

Jeong Jeong-jin borrowed the bodyguard's clothes and roughly wrapped them around his body. We entered the building and took the elevator together.

I knew for sure that they were standing next to each other like this. This guy was a little tall.

Originally, I was tall enough to pass 180, but as I grew taller, it was like… … .

I raised my gaze to the touch I felt on the top of my head. Suddenly, Jeong Seo-jin was stroking my hair.

"……What are you doing?"

"Yes? Oh, I'm sorry. Inadvertently."

Jeong Seo-jin, who lifted her hand from my head, smiled kindly.

"Top Lord hasn't changed at all."

"Of course. Because time stood still for five years."

I put my hands in my pockets and sighed.

"And it's not that I haven't changed, it's that you guys have changed..."

I stopped talking and rolled my eyes. Jeong Seo-jin was stroking his hair again.

As I growled with strength in my eyes, Jeong Seo-jin quickly removed his hand and bowed his head.

“Sin, I’m sorry. Stop without knowing…”

Why is he suddenly like this? make chicken flesh

You weren't originally like this.

Anyway, the elevator arrived and we entered Jeong Jeong-jin's office at Alchemia's headquarters.

'Wow, it really feels like the boss's room.'

I sat down on the comfy sofa and turned on the messenger on my cell phone.

I was sending a message to Jin-Bra saying 'Mission is complete', and Jeong Seo-Jin, who had changed into a neat outfit, brought out a car.

This scent that can be felt from afar... … it's jujube tea

'After all, Jeong Jeong-jin, you know my taste exactly.'

Satisfied in my heart, I picked up the teacup and took a sip, while Jeong Seo-jin quietly knelt in front of me.

"……What are you doing?"

"This is the attitude a sinner should take."

I took a deep breath.

"I told you. You were trying to find out if you were a demon. You know I'm not the only one who thinks that way, you know?"

"Of course I know."

"Then get up quickly and sit down. Before you shave your head."

In the end, Jeong Jeong-jin sat down on the chair.

I closed my eyes again and drank the jujube tea as if savoring it. While feeling the sweet taste of autumn, I opened one eye.

Jeong Seo-jin was staring at me with his eyes twinkling.

"……Hey."

"Yes, Top Lord."

"Ah, why are you doing this to me to make me grow chicken? It's a burden!"

Just then, realizing that he was staring at me, Jeong Seo-jin straightened his back and sat down.

"Hmmmm, it's an embarrassing story."

"Well?"

“It was because I really liked the reunion with the top master.”

"...wow! What are you talking about?"

I'm squeamish a lot, but... … Well, yes. If you think about it, it's not that hard to understand.

It was me who lived in the spirit world, but Jeong Seo-jin only knew that I was dead for 5 years.

It's not a direct expression of affection like Jin-Bra, but a poor way of expressing it, but it didn't feel strange, and it was something that could be done if you understood it.

But the only complaint I have is, why is it 'head-to-head'? I'm the older brother, but it's not like he's cute.

"Who else knows that the top lord has returned?"

"For now, it's just you and Bora."

"That's right. Then in the tower..."

I shrugged.

"I'm going to go alone until I find out who Majin is. I'll have to come back when this is over."

Jeong Seon-jin nodded her head vigorously.

"Come on, I want to work with you."

"It won't take that long. Oh, but if I go back, will there be a seat?"

The current mage master is a substitute for me no matter what anyone says. His subordinates were also chosen by me, not me.

He beats the person who is doing well now, and I wonder if there is a reason or justification for me to become the captain again.

“What can I say, Mr. Dae-yong will welcome the return of Top Lord more than anyone else.”

He had already seen the current matopju and called him Mr. Dae-yong.

"Dae-yong is not an official mage master recognized by the tower and has no authority to move the tower. The current mage tower, in which the managers are divided because he cannot appoint a new manager, is slowly losing power. Even for the future of the organization, You are right to come."

I crossed my arms.

"I'll think about it. And keep the security on this matter thoroughly. I'll have to find the other guys one by one and investigate."

"Okay."

I slowly savored the jujube tea.

I wanted to put my mind to it and rest, but Jeong Seo-jin was still looking at me with a burdensome gaze.

"...Yes, yes."

I put down the jujube car and sighed.

"What do you have to report?"

"I want to tell you about the achievements of Alchemia."

Somehow, it's like a kid who wants to brag about getting 100 marks in dictation.

"Okay. Give it a try."

"Thank you!"

Jeong Seo-jin hurriedly put the screen on his office and continued the explanation. I began to listen reluctantly, and I felt that I was more and more immersed in the story.

'That's great.'

Now, five years later, Alchemia branches have opened all over the world.

With the diversification of the super-large online market and logistics routes, hunters can receive pre-ordered potions in front of the dungeon wherever they are in the world.

Now, potions have become an inseparable necessity in the lives of hunters.

The 'commodityization' of potions, which I emphasized so much, has completely settled. The price is also quite cheap, around 30,000 won per bottle of low-end red elixir.

"Oh, but at 30,000 won a bottle, isn't it too cheap? There is no competitor in the market."

"If you consider the overall sales, you can think of the lower level elixir as an investment."

According to Jeong Seo-jin, the price jumps 10 times from mid-level elixir.

Not to mention the cost of advanced and superlative elixir is quite expensive.

However, it is said that hunters who have been using potions since the time of the provisional license have increased their dependence on potions, and they show a consumption pattern of willingly purchasing expensive potions even if they become certified hunters.

"Oh, come to think of it, what happened to China? There was a lot of fuss about making a fake potion brand."

"That part has been resolved."

It is simply not enough to supply potions to all over the world with Alchemia's power alone. So Jeong Seo-jin willingly disclosed potion recipes to facilities in each country.

But one thing. The 'Magic Pot', an essential tool for making potions, can only be made in the Magic Tower.

Matop rents this pot only to companies that have formally signed a contract with Alchemia. Of course, on condition that all potions made with this pot bear the Alchemia logo.

"Instance magic pots that are leased for export have a lifespan. When the magic circle's effect expires, it can't be used."

Jeong Seon-jin explained.

"Businesses must either purchase a new magic pot or request a renewal from the tower. More than 30% of the tower's revenue comes from renting this magic pot."

"Oh! Are you completely reinventing the revenue model?"

"Yes."

If you do this, even if you steal a magic pot from another company, it will quickly become obsolete. It is almost impossible to copy the magic circle's function by applying security magic and changing the pattern continuously.

"Low-level and intermediate-level items can be made from around the world like this, and from the high-level elixir, only Alchemia is made and supplied."

"Okay? It's completely dominating the market."

Jeong Jeong-jin smiled shyly and continued.

"Still, because of the monopoly, I made a lot of contribution to society so that people don't hear about vicious companies. We are investing an astronomical amount every year to support the vulnerable non-combatants and wizard candidates. Thanks to this, the world's image of Alchemia is also very good."

Indeed, it is Jeong-Jin. I admire the neat and ideal handling of the work.

"The potion part has been completely resolved. Now, if you come back and take care of the golem and warp parts, the horse tower will have a much greater influence than it is now."

"Ah, why did Sol and Samia leave the tower while talking?"

"I don't know the details, but I think there was a conflict with Na Dae-yong."

those two people? Even when I was there, it seemed like we were getting along with each other without any ill feelings.

It's been 5 years, so there's nothing strange about what happened. I'll have to meet him in person and talk to him.

Then my pocket buzzed and my phone vibrated. When I checked, there was a message from Ha Ye-rin asking where she was going to train today.

"I'll have to go soon. I also have some schedules."

"Okay."

When Jeong Seo-jin got up, I quickly said.

"I don't need to meet you. You're busy."(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

"No. Let me meet you."

anyway.

As I left the office, I put on the water curtain mask. Jeong Jeong-jin held the elevator and we got on together.

"Oh right."

"?"

"Who do you think Mine is? Just a personal guess."

Jeong Seo-jin answered without any hesitation.

"I can't say for sure, but Hong Yeon, the president of the Association, is the first thing that comes to mind."

"...you too? Bora said so.

The reunion with Hong-yeon becomes more and more terrifying.

How the hell did it change?

I groan and ponder, and I feel a hand over my head.

"Oh, don't do it!"

When I got angry, Jeong Seo-jin was startled and bowed her head.

"I'm sorry. It wasn't my bad intentions."

"You forget that I'm the older brother..."

After speaking up to that point, I stopped talking and burst out laughing.

"Why?"

"never mind."

The human heart is very deceitful.

In front of Ha Ye-rin, it is ridiculous that five years have passed, so I pretend to be young, but in front of Jeong Jeong-jin, I still want to be treated as a brother.

Anyway, the elevator stopped and we went out together. Jeong Jeong-jin had his car and driver waiting in front of his front door. He insisted until the end that he would let me take him even if he told me to just take a taxi.

"Okay, then I'll ride well."

"Please return safely."

"……And."

I scratched my head shyly and smiled.

"I'm really sorry I broke the car."

Jeongyeon smiled brightly.

"It's the price of gum, so you don't have to worry about it."
