A Strange Guest (Part 2)

"This is the Magic Tower?"

Because it was a tower-shaped structure, Riley thought it would be quite narrow inside, but once he entered the tower, it was surprisingly expansive

"It is more spacious in here than I expected," Iris murmured aimlessly as she looked around inside the tower

"It is siht Solia entrance which has a Soundproof Stone installed I heard it is ic device I don’t know the specifics because it’s just soht of Sera’s supplementary explanation, Riley interjected,

"The more I look at it, the more miraculous it seems"

It felt convenient in a different way from the science that Riley had experienced in his past life

The first floor of the Magic Tower had inventions es and their famous articles on display for the visitors

"Anyway, it really is a Magic Tower How should I put it…everyone here looks surreal," Sera mur in the Magic Toalking around in their thin fabric cloaks waving in the air, reic Tower

"Excusedazed stares toaround the first floor, but then he turned his head as he heard a voice from the rear

The person that stroke up the conversation was a young man with a thin fabric cloak wrapped around his shoulders like the others,it apparent that he ic Tower

"We are here to just look around," Ian responded for the group

"The Magic Tower is not a place that anyone can enter By chance, do you have anything that you can present to prove your identities?"

"Yes, here"

Ian showed the marker that proved their identities as people fro ood look at the marker and nodded, satisfied

"Ah, you are froic Tower We will allow you to look around the first floor, but please do not go up to second floor or handle any objects without per his explanation, but then he becaer

The direction he was pointing here Riley stood

"Th-that! Please do not touch that!"

"…?"

The associate rushed forward and pulled Riley’s ar I am not supposed to touch?"

It was one of the inventions created by the es that were on display in the first floor

Riley was brushing a ‘blue boulder’ with his right hand He scratched the back of his head as if he felt aard

"Ugh, you are a Young Master from a Count’s House, but still, you mustn’t! This is not an ordinary object…"

"This boulder, what could it possibly be?"

"I cannot tell you that"

The young associate was breaking into a cold sweat over the possibility of the boulder having ses from Riley’s hand He immediately examined the parts of the boulder where Riley touched and confirhed in relief

"Phew… Most of the objects on display must not be touched As for the ones that are ok to handle, they have signs that say so, so please keep that in ! Please enjoy them with your eyes alone"

Riley bealad you understood me Thank you"

The associate added that it was common for people to fire back and tell hihed bitterly

"There are eously like that and went straight back to their residences Of course, whenever that happens, I as up…"

His face was s syently and asked hih the Magic Tower? We don’t know about this place all that well"

"Ah, if that’s what you would like, I will gladly!"

As if he aiting for the request, the associate promptly responded

"My name is Peruda You can call me Peruda"

As they listened to Peruda’s story, they learned that the associates took turns to protect and provide guidance in the Magic Tower’s first floor

Peruda, the one that Riley’s group ran into today, was the one in charge of the task for the day

"Mages, ic technique scholars, alchemists, and others… If I tried to sort thees in the Magic Tower If I tried to sort them further down to the very specifics and explained, it will take more than a whole day"

"Oh?"

"This is the es With this, you can use light circle y bolts Ah, what I mean by a circle…"

"Oh!"

"With this round device, you can pour water inside If you wait a certain a water in it, it coic circle drawn inside which activates when it coic circle is…"

"Uerator?"

"Oh, it’s nothing"

Perhaps an hour or two passed since the group ic Tower

Thanks to Peruda, they were able to look around the first floor with efficiency Riley crossed his arms and es don’t have it easy all the tih the proper procedures, you can visit the second floor as well"

"What’s on the second floor?"

"U able to spectate the apprentices practicing ic For instance, the fireball that "

"…Master, over here, here"

While Riley was having a conversation with Peruda on various things, Iris and Sera had already made their way to another place and called for Riley

Ian too was already over there and looking at Riley from the other side

"Um?"

"It’s for mana measurement You said you wanted to try it once"

"…"

With excitement, Ian’s eyes lit up as Riley walked towards them in acquiescence

"Okay, okay"

Unlike other objects in the Magic Tower’s first floor that must not be touched, the ht with a sign that said it was fine for anyone to use it

"Peruda, how do I use this?"

"Just place your hand on top of the orb Ah, are you left-handed by chance?"

"No, I aht hand on the top When you do, the orb will glow briefly, and then it will fill ater to the extent that reflects the amount of mana measured from you, sir"

Mana measurement

The device in front of Riley was a mass-produced version, the kind for a distributed widely and used by anyone To that end, the orb had measurement lines drawn to help the user easily discern the mana measurement
