Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 651 Combating Piracy: Everyone's Responsibility

The Magic Association once held two different attitudes toward Eunka.

On one hand, we must severely crack down on the other party's infringement of rights by taking magic without permission, modifying it at will, and even spreading the modified magic on a large scale without undergoing the association's safety tests.

No one can steal the Magic Association's knowledge resources without facing any punishment!
The other side is very interested in the aura conversion technology developed by Yuenka, believing it to be a groundbreaking invention.

If the current limitation of this technology, which can only be applied to the inhabitants of the Warrior Kingdom, could be overcome and widely applied, then perhaps Yunka's portrait could be hung in the hall that the Association built for the magic masters of all ages.

When faced with a talent who has made groundbreaking inventions, sometimes special arrangements can be made. As long as Eunka agrees to conduct joint research with the association, those infringement issues can be temporarily put aside, turning major issues into minor ones, and minor issues into nothing.

The two sides had been arguing for a short while when someone suddenly made a suggestion:

"Let's send someone to give him a warning first. If he's willing to cooperate, we can downplay the issue; if he's not, we can make an example of him."

Well, this suggestion is a bit too normal.

It was so normal that the Magic Association, a group of people who spent their days researching "heretical methods," completely overlooked it and didn't even think about it.

Although this suggestion is not magical enough, not interesting enough, not...
However, since it was a method that could be applied in practice, the professors in charge, while regretting that they could not come up with a suggestion that was more in line with the way magicians acted, agreed to implement the suggestion.

So who is the candidate?

Who should we send to the Warrior Kingdom to put significant pressure on Yunka?
Naturally, everyone gave their votes to Professor Tursie, the most ardent advocate of copyright within the association.

Recently, Tursie's reputation as the "copyright boss" has grown increasingly prominent, and everyone feels subconsciously nervous when they see her, mainly because of her recent actions.

Since the opening of the Realucalia Magic Academy in the Sion Dungeon, everyone who enters can be assigned a suitable tutor by the Sorting Hat. In addition to the most common magic tutors, there are also some unconventional tutors teaching people.

For example, spells that no one has ever heard of before, such as "normal attack spells," "projection spells," and "water spells without chanting," are also emerging. There are so many instructors and spells that the exact number has not yet been fully counted.

This inevitably leads to some people trying to take shortcuts, repackaging obscure magic learned from the Realucalia Magic Academy and registering it for copyright with the association.

And at this point, it will be time for Tulsi to make her move.

She could always see through people's disguises at a glance. Under her special interrogation techniques, no one could withstand it and they all confessed to their crimes. What followed was a reprimand from Tursie that could destroy a person's character. Some people foamed at the mouth and were carried out after only hearing half of it.

After such incidents occurred more frequently, people began to look at Tursi with a sense of awe.

Who would have thought that those warm lips could utter such cold words? It's such a contrast.

Therefore, carrying the hopes of the entire village—no, the entire association—Tursie and several other professors arrived in the Warrior Kingdom to launch a series of operations against Yunka.

She even contributed to the eventual disappearance of the rumors that the magic targeting the Sien dungeon would cause various negative effects.

After repeated attempts to blockade him, Yunka was finally forced out of his mage tower and had no choice but to confront Tulsi directly.

"What's your decision, Eunka?"

The site of the war festival has now become the battleground for the two sides after today's ceremony.

Tursie looked at Yuenka across from her, unable to understand why the other person was wearing a luminous stone shield in such a serious occasion, when showing her true face would have made her look more serious.

The surrounding area was filled with residents of the Warrior Kingdom craning their necks to watch, and the scene was quite noisy. Some people even started fighting among the audience because of differing opinions and supporters. If there wasn't a result today, it would probably not end.

In fact, Tursie herself was somewhat surprised that things had developed to this point.

Even she, who is most supportive of copyright, knows that she needs to generate profits for the association, so she doesn't launch attacks against Eunka entirely in public.

She had actually privately revealed the association's intentions to Eunka.

Unexpectedly, the other party was a tough nut to crack, showing no intention of cooperating whatsoever, and giving Tulsi only one reply:

This is my experiment.

Experimentation, a word that no magic apprentice would find unfamiliar, is something that almost everyone involved in magic does every day.

The Magic Association had already deduced this situation, since everything Yunka did was ultimately confined to the Warrior Kingdom region, clearly indicating that he was acting with a certain purpose, much like the experiments that magicians conduct daily, only on a slightly larger scale.

However, many people in the association did not oppose such an experiment that might use an entire country as a testing ground. On the contrary, they were curious and wanted to learn more about it. The thirst for knowledge was imprinted in their hearts.

Tulsi was one of those who felt this suspected experiment was inappropriate. She wasn't about to stop it outright, because an experiment was a magician's lifeblood and everything. Her opinion was to make a judgment after a deeper understanding.

She thirsted for knowledge, but she was not so much inclined to support or participate in inhuman and depraved experiments.

So Tursie conveyed to Eunka the association's intention to learn about, and even potentially help with, the experiment.

The other party's reply was quite magical.

You can't understand; this is my experiment, and only I can complete it myself.

So classic.

Based solely on this reply, Tulsi can imagine the image of a haughty, arrogant, and self-important magic fanatic who believes he is the only genius and everyone else is a Muggle—or rather, the image of most magicians.

There's no room for negotiation anymore, absolutely no room for negotiation.

"That's settled then. Let's get the copyright fees the association wants. Even Eunca probably can't afford that astronomical sum. We'll have plenty of ways to force him to hand over his experimental data by signing a loss-making contract." Tursie, not considering herself a saint, naturally made this decision without hesitation.

Then things escalated to the point where we are now in a public standoff.

I have thousands of investigation documents prepared by the association, detailing all of Yuenka's infringements. They are all interconnected and without any flaws. No matter how this guy tries to argue, it's useless.

Looking at the thick stack of documents beside her, Tursie felt confident of victory.

Yunka remained silent, a silence that was exactly what she expected. The current situation must have been incredibly humiliating for a proud mage like Yunka.

If you're going to treat this as humiliating, then you should have properly respected the copyright from the start!

Tursie's gaze grew even colder as she thought about this. She glanced around at the audience and recalled that, according to her investigation, Eunka held a very high position among the people and enjoyed the adoration of the masses, who worshipped him as a perfect idol.

Having witnessed things unfold this way, the residents must be feeling a mix of emotions, and I even feel a bit sorry for them.

But just then, Tulsi noticed that the noise from the audience seemed to be gradually decreasing, and the people who had been fighting earlier were now lying sprawled on the ground, not getting up.

"Regardless, I still support Master Eunka."

"Heh, what's so great about supporting a plagiarist? If you're not happy about it, let's have another fight."

The two groups of people lying on the ground were exchanging harsh words, and it looked like another big battle was about to break out.

But one side suddenly waved their hand and said with a Zen-like expression:

"Forget it, I feel inexplicably tired today, I don't want to play anything, I'll just support the master in my heart."

"Now that you mention it, I feel really tired too. Fine, let's not fight then."

Both sides suddenly became indifferent and lay peacefully on the ground.

Their state spread rapidly among the audience like a plague.

Once someone started it, the audience who had been watching with great enthusiasm suddenly became subdued at a visible speed.
The noise, shouts, and arguments gradually subsided, leaving only people lazily watching Eunka and Tursie.

Their appearance was exactly the same as Abe's and his group's.

On the highest stand not far away, King Bantoou, surprisingly, yawned leisurely at this critical moment, looking as if he were about to fall asleep.

Ero and the four-legged dragon chieftain beside them reacted in the same way, looking like a leisurely peach-haired beast scratching its belly.

Tursie frowned at the scene; laziness was like a natural enemy to mages.

She disliked the Warrior Kingdom intensely. The people there wore extravagant clothes adorned with gold and silver, and there was a prevailing culture of comparison. They didn't seem like humans at all, but rather like a race known for its love of possessing treasure.

Extravagance is a major taboo for magicians; they must always be grounded in reality when conducting experiments.

Now, the people of this warrior nation are collectively displaying a decadent and lazy atmosphere. The combination of elements that both mages dislike has caused Tulsi's impression of this country to plummet.

and many more.

Her tightly furrowed brows suddenly twitched, and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

The current situation is that laziness is spreading like a plague.
This is very unusual, isn't it?

"The ideas of geniuses are often incomprehensible to others."

At this moment, Yuenka suddenly made a sound. The sound coming from under the hood was quite muffled and had a strange grainy quality, like crystals rubbing together.

"Finally willing to speak?" Although she sensed something was off, Tulsi turned her attention back to the present.

“Even if I am walking on the right path without any deviation, I will always encounter unexpected misfortunes, just like now.”

Younka's voice was devoid of emotion, like a calm lake.

"Fortunately, I had reached the end of the road before I was plagued by misfortune."

He looked up at Tulsi, who suddenly felt a chill, as if she were being stared at by something inhuman.

Eunka didn't seem to be interested in discussing copyright issues, perhaps because he knew there was little suspense in that matter, so he steered the conversation to something else.

"The association wanted to know about my experiment, Professor Tursie. The experiment is over."

"What do you want to say?" Tulsi became wary.

Is it okay to talk about experiments in front of everyone?
"Let me show you the results of my experiments, you fools."

Eunka raised her hands, and finally, emotion appeared in her voice—pride.

"Come and witness the birth of the God of Magic!"
