Have Magic - Chapter 89

Embrace the Magic (89)

Rodin’s gaze turned to Bianca this time.

Bianca looked back and forth between the sobbing Larry and Rodin, then shivered.

“Brother Rodin, I don’t have any either?”

“Your magical talent is around 12 to 13 points on average. However, after the sun sets, it increases to around 15 to 16 points. In particular, your cultivation efficiency is highest around 10 p.m. You definitely have talent. However, it is difficult to say that you are outstanding.”

“How much is that?”

“If you work hard, you can become a 3rd circle wizard. After that, it won’t be possible with just your own efforts. You’ll need luck on your side.”

Rodin had different criteria for judging magical talent.

Usually, 16 points were not considered a high talent in the Magic Tower. Since so many outstanding talents gathered from all over the continent, it was not difficult to see talents of 20 points or more.

However, in the kingdom’s magic corps or magic families, a score of 16 was considered a decent talent. It wasn’t an incredible talent that would be cherished, but it was considered a talent worth nurturing.

‘I’m different.’

The person who could give Bianca the ‘luck’ she needed was Rodin.

Rodin had a mana accumulation magic circle. If he added a magic training room to it, he could grow much faster than before. It wasn’t impossible for Bianca to go beyond 3 circles, which was her limit.

“Teach me. I will learn magic.”

“But you’ll have to study a lot to become a wizard. Do you think you can endure it? Even the common language of the continent was difficult for Bianca.”

“You can do it. Bianca is not stupid.”

“Okay. Starting tomorrow, I’ll give you homework to do one by one. Memorize what you need to memorize, and learn what you need to learn. And I’ll teach you new magical training methods, so forget what you’ve memorized so far.”

Magic talent 16 points. According to Instructor Serion, it is a ‘good’ talent. He also said that if you work hard, you can become a full-fledged magician.

But Rodin didn’t originally think that talent was everything. Magic power was just one of many things that made up magic.

‘But I can’t ignore it.’

Magic was the basis of magic. Without magic, magic could not even begin.

If you were only good at math, you were just a mathematician. If you were only good at imagery, you were just a daydreamer. You had to have magical powers to become a wizard.

He taught Bianca the magic training method. It was something he had learned at the special forces training school, and Rodin was also using the same magic training method.

“I have to look at my hands though.”

Aside from teaching him the magic training method, he had not yet started his magic lessons. Instead, he taught him the basics of mathematics and practiced visualization.

Larry also learned math. It was good for Larry to learn the level of math he needed for daily life.

“I think we’re almost there.”

On the ninth day, Rodin’s party entered the Kingdom of Lennox. Another eight days passed, and they arrived at the doorstep of the Marquisate of Richmond.

“Larry, are you okay?”

“Yes? Oh, yes.”

As Bianca began to learn the magic required for her, Larry became increasingly discouraged. He would spend entire days in a daze, thinking that he was the only one without talent.

“Larry, magic is just one of many skills the world needs. You have other talents.”

“I’m sorry, bro. Is this a bad mood because of me?”

“I’m okay. Cheer up.”

The carriage soon arrived at a large gate. Hundreds of people were waiting for the gate to open in order to enter the castle.

“Is it there?”

“That’s right. That’s the Marquisate of Richmond.”

“There are so many people.”

“They said it was a bustling place.”

I waited for the long line to shorten and then entered the gate. As soon as I entered, I saw a large building on the left.

‘Huh? Mercenary Guild?’

Unlike the Western Continent, the Central Continent had a large mercenary guild building. There were also a lot of people coming and going from that building.

‘I should stop by the mercenary guild sometime.’

If a mercenary does not receive any commissions for a certain period of time, his mercenary rank will be lowered, and his registration may eventually be canceled. The lower the rank, the shorter the period, so you must frequently receive commissions to maintain your rank.

After receiving the mercenary badge, Rodin never accepted a single commission. Thanks to this, he didn’t have any accidents like Bronn had worried about, but instead, his mercenary registration was canceled.

“why?”

“No. Let’s go first. Did you say the government office was this way?”

As I was coming in, I asked the gate guard a few questions.

The government office where residents were registered, the housing management office where houses were sold, the police station, and the market where carriages were disposed of, were places where one had to visit sooner or later.

“He said that if you keep going, you’ll get there.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

As I headed toward the government office, people’s clothing began to change. Among the people walking around, there were more people wearing clothes that were a mix of blue and brown.

“I guess those are the clothes worn in government offices.”

“Shall we wear it too?”

“No. We came as petitioners. We don’t need to wear the same clothes as them.”

When you get to the end, you will see a building with a house-shaped picture on the right. This is the office that buys and sells buildings.

The Marquessery of Richmond did not permit private transactions of buildings. When selling a building, it had to be sold to the government, and when buying it, it had to be sold to the government.

However, they did not slash the price of the building or make huge profits. The difference between the purchase price and the sale price was set by land law to not exceed 20%.

“Let’s go in.”

“yes.”

Rodin took Larry and Bianca’s hands in his own. The carriage was left in the government stable for the time being.

Clang!

As I opened the door and went in, the bell on the door made a refreshing sound. As if responding to that sound, the eyes of the employees in the government office turned toward the entrance.

But soon, interest was lost, and only one person looked at the entrance. It was the receptionist.

“Welcome. How may I help you?”

“They say it’s better to register your residence after buying a house.”

This was advice I got from the guard at the gate. I heard that if you register as a resident after finding a house, it will make the troublesome process easier. Instead, you have to register as a resident within 10 days of finding a house.

“Ah! You’re from outside. Nice to meet you. My name is Priel, the staff member in charge. May I ask where you are from?”

“I come from the Western Continent.”

“Wow! People from the Western Continent are coming to our territory too. Come over here and sit down.”

Nobles and merchants from the Western Continent wanted to return to the Western Continent when they had the chance. That’s why most of them settled in port cities or quiet villages near them when they came to the Central Continent.

“I want to find a house as quickly as possible.”

“The house is always ready. What kind of house do you want?”

“I need at least three rooms. More is fine. A separate basement would be nice. I’m a wizard, so I need a place to study.”

“Ah! The wizard.”

As soon as the word wizard came out, everyone’s eyes turned to him again. This time, they didn’t easily return to their original positions.

“And I wish there was a decent space to exercise.”

“Are you a real wizard?”

“yes.”

“Ah! Wait a minute. Let me check the conditions.”

There was no way there wouldn’t be wizards in the Marquisate of Richmond. On his way here, Rodin discovered three wizards.

However, there were hardly any ‘official’ wizards. All the wizards that Rodin had seen when he came were apprentice wizards of 2nd circle or lower.

“Hmm.”

“Ah! Sorry. What are you all doing? Stop staring and do your own thing!”

Rodin felt uncomfortable with people constantly staring at him. Staff member Priel noticed this and alerted the others.

The Marquis of Richmond was a swordsman who had reached the rank of Master, and the Marquis of Richmond also treated swordsmen much better. As a result, magicians of the 3rd circle or higher did not prefer the Marquis of Richmond, where they could not receive special treatment.

A moment later, Fryle came out with a large booklet. It was a list of empty houses in the main castle of the Marquis of Richmond.

After that, I talked to Fryle for a long time while looking at the structures of the houses, and selected a few suitable houses.

“Shall we go and see it now?”

“Yes, that’s good.”

I checked out a few houses along the way. I liked them all. They were well maintained, so I didn’t have to do anything.

“I’ll do it here.”

As it turned out, I ended up choosing a fairly large house.

It was a place with a main building and an annex. The main building had five rooms, and the annex also had three rooms and a kitchen.

There was a fairly large basement in the main building, which was not only used as a training room, but also as a workshop for creating artifacts.

In addition, there was a fairly large garden between the main building and the annex, which was good for exercising. There was also a warehouse on one side of the garden.

‘The wall is also quite high. I like it.’

The moment I checked the structure of the house, I made a decision. It was also good that there was no need to change the structure significantly.

“You’ve chosen a good place.”

From then on, things were smooth sailing.

I went back to the government office, filled out the contract, and received documents proving ownership of the house.

After that, I went to the office where I registered my residence and completed the registration of my new home as my address.

“This is.”

“The Marquisate of Richmond has its own unique status badge. Just by possessing this status badge, you will receive active protection from the security forces within the territory. You can also request mediation in case of fraud or disputes.”

After registering my residence, I received a separate badge indicating that I was a resident of the Marquess of Richmond.

It was a status badge that could only be used within the Marquisate of Richmond. It had no meaning anywhere else, but it was like a certificate of title that gave one various benefits within the Marquisate of Richmond.

“thank you.”

“Welcome once again to the Marquisate of Richmond.”

Rodin took his brothers to the house they bought today. It was such a big house that it felt a bit empty.

“I’ll sweep that room. What about you?”

“Brother, I’m here.”

“Larry, you?”

“I’ll use this one.”

There are five rooms in total, so there are two rooms left. I decided to gradually think about how to use them.

* * *

The next day, we got moving from the morning. It was time to find out Larry’s talent.

The Marquisate of Richmond, with its many swordsmen, had many places to test swordsmanship. Anyone could test their Auror talents for a small fee.

“That’s amazing.”

The Marquisate of Richmond did not only train swordsmen in the castle. There were a great number of swordsmen training institutions called swordsmen all over the territory.

The place I just arrived at is called the Kardos Inspectorate. It is a private school that not only measures your Auror talents, but also teaches you swordsmanship if you pay.

“It costs 500 gold.”

“here.”

He paid the price to test his talents. The rest was up to Larry.

“You can come and pick it up in five days.”

“Are you staying here for five days?”

“Yes. In our office, we measure Auror talent once a month. It’s in five days. It’s better to stay here and learn the training method to measure Auror talent than to go home and come back five days later.”

The most basic of the basics, the Aura training method, wasn’t really a vision. It was a common training method that you could buy at a store without spending a lot of money.

But to memorize and master that training method, it took time anyway.

Larry was scheduled to stay here until the Auror talent test date to learn how to do it.

“Okay, Larry, could you do it?”

“I will do my best.”

“Then I’ll see you in five days. Do you know the house?”

“Of course.”

It was about a 40-minute walk away. Since it was the Marquisate of Richmond, which was a safe place, Larry could easily return home on his own.

“Brother Larry! Come on!”

“Okay, Bianca. You study hard too.”

“huh.”

On the way home with Bianca.

I went into a restaurant I saw and had a light meal. After eating my fill, I looked at Bianca and she was slightly shaking her head.

“Not really?”

“Yeah, Oppa. The food here is similar to the food you make.”

“Not to that extent. Anyway, I guess I’ll have to look somewhere else next time.”

I absolutely had to know about the restaurants that make delicious food.

I had enough of the experience of forcing myself to eat tasteless food all the way here. Now, I wanted to have a happy mealtime while eating delicious food.

“Bianca, have you done all the studying you were asked to do?”

“Brother. It’s too difficult.”

“I’ve done it all. I did it when I was much younger than you. You can do it too. Our Bianca isn’t stupid, is she?”

“Yeah. Bianca’s not stupid.”

Arrived home.

Leaving Bianca to study on her own, Rodin began to work on the house in earnest.

I walked along the wall and cast a strengthening spell. I also embedded a mana stone to make the spell last for a long time.

And I carved a mana accumulation magic circle throughout the house. I took measures to ensure that wherever I was in the house, I would be influenced by abundant mana, which would help me practice.

“All that’s left is the training room.”

I had to make a training room. Up until now, I had only accumulated magical power using mana accumulation magic circles, but this alone was slow.

‘What would happen if you added a magic training room to the mana accumulation magic circle?’

You will probably be able to gather a considerable amount of magic power quickly. However, your magic power will be somewhat dull as you use the training room, but this can be controlled by reducing the number of times.

For example, you could adjust it appropriately by using the practice room once every four days.

“Bianca is there too.”

Bianca wasn’t particularly gifted in magical ability. Her magical ability score of 16 was lower than Corey’s.

In that situation, you can’t even use the seniority room? It was obvious that growth would be infinitely slow.
