Chapter 55
If the North was known for its supernatural power [Fangs of the Beast], and the West specialized in ora, then the East was a region abundant in mana, where mages were born in great numbers.
Among them, the House of Ortio had long been renowned for their vast mana reserves, enough to produce generations of Mage Tower Masters.
Using that power, they had ruled the East for ages and contributed immensely to the advancement of magic by founding the very first Mage Tower.
“The Tower’s gotten filthy while I was away.”
Marquis Ortio had purged the Mage Tower using the information passed to him by Ferio.
The underground prison of the tower was now crawling with mages who had participated in the illegal monster trafficking and others deemed worthy of punishment.
“Duke.”
The marquis, now facing mountains of work upon returning, called out to Ferio.
“It’s already late. Shall we call it a night?”
“Let’s.”
Ferio agreed without hesitation.
He too had to wrap things up quickly and return to Leonia.
