Island Petropolis Nam-gu.
Adobe Magic Tower.
The owner of the tower, Count Vasco Fiorenza, looked at the middle-aged man sitting across from him with a puzzled look on his face.
“You just asked me if I could make a weapon like the Exitium?”
Magenta, a middle-aged man and black market manager, answered with a naturally virtuous face.
“That’s right.”
“You still say that even though you know that Exitium is a strategic item that is strictly managed by the empire?”
Count Fiorenza glared at Magenta.
Magenta was the manager of the black market and the sword master, so it was difficult to criticize her.
Although he is a 5th circle mage who is treated on the same level as the Sword Master, the distance is too close, which is advantageous to the opponent.
“It’s not like you’re trying to impress the crown prince, so is it difficult to make?”
As the other person dug in without paying attention, Count Fiorenza asked as if confirming.
“Are you saying this because you really want to?”
“Can Exitium be the subject of a joke?”
Count Fiorenza, who had been silent in response to Magenta’s rebuttal, spoke as if explaining.
“Adobe Magic Tower was also developing a weapon similar to Exitium. However, Taboola Magic Tower completed development first… … . We had no choice but to stop development. “It’s probably similar to other magic towers.”
The introduction was long, but Magenta did not urge and just nodded.
“Did you say it was difficult to make? If you can find Exitium, you can make a similar weapon within a few days. However, I am afraid that the future of our Adobe Magic Tower may become unstable due to this… … . Even now, we are sending out magicians due to a decrease in income, and if the empire checks us, we will have to close down completely.”
“The Empire plans to supply Exitium to all musketeers. If this continues, only the Three Great Magic Towers that produce Exitium will survive.”
Count Fiorenza did not deny it.
I don’t want to admit it, but the Magic Tower’s heyday was until Exitium.
With the development of Exitium, the Tower of Magic would shine brightly, but it would also lead to its downfall.
Just like a shooting star.
Magenta continued.
“I plan to sell it to the Southern Kingdom.”
“It’s impossible. “Not only the Empire, but also the Magic Tower Committee will not remain silent.”
The reason the Empire cannot touch the Magic Tower is because of the Magic Tower Committee.
All the magic towers on the continent were within the committee’s walls.
The committee protected the rights of developers for the development of horse engineering.
But they make something similar to Tabula Magic Tower’s Exitium and sell it to the southern kingdom?
That was truly a dangerous act.
“Hasn’t Adobe Matab done similar research before? If the core ingredients are different, the committee won’t say anything. Isn’t it?”
“Hum, hum. That’s true. “Because it’s not as easy as it sounds.”
“Isn’t it said that imitation is the mother of creation? Especially if she was already doing research… … . “It will definitely produce similar but different results.”
“hmm… … .”
A sob flowed from Count Fiorenza’s mouth.
But his expression was not as dark as before.
The development of a weapon similar to but different from the Exitium was a possibility.
It is not difficult to find out the material and manufacturing process of Exitium.
What if Adobe Matap’s research is added to that?
The chances of success increase further.
Something half-hearted, neither the same nor new, will be created.
Magenta’s voice reached the ears of the hesitant Count Fiorenza.
“If Exitium is supplied to the imperial army, artifact sales will plummet.”
“… … .”
Count Fiorenza came to his senses.
right.
I don’t know why I didn’t think of that.
Most of the Magic Tower’s income comes from selling artifacts.
Artifacts with existing shield magic cannot resist Exitium.
“It would be difficult for even the Adobe Magic Tower to withstand… … .”
“Let’s do it.”
Count Fiorenza interrupted Magenta.
It is clear that if I stay still, I will fall, so I plan to try anything.
“Well thought out.”
With those words, Magenta took out an Exitium from her pocket and placed it on the table.
Count Fiorenza picked up the Exitium and smiled bitterly.
“It won’t take long since this is a field that Adobe Magic Tower is also researching.”
“I would appreciate it if you could focus on this one thing if possible. “After the Southern Kingdom gives up the war, we cannot sell it even if we produce it.”
“I understand.”
After finishing the story, Magenta left Adobe Magic Tower with a relieved face.
***
Island Petropolis North District.
Stagecoach Office.
next day.
Around lunchtime, a stagecoach stopped at the North District Stagecoach office.
After a while, passengers poured out of the stagecoach.
Among them was Magenta.
One corner of Magenta’s mouth turned up as she glanced around.
‘Tsk! Wherever he goes, this guy’s popularity is… … .’
A few suspicious people followed me, but I didn’t pay any attention.
This is because the Sword Master must move to catch himself.
The Sword Master’s movements have not been detected yet, so the purpose may be to gather information.
Magenta, who was trotting down the street, stopped.
A young man was standing in the very center of the street.
‘what?’
Magenta’s regular steps became slower without my knowledge.
Then, belatedly, he realized his true situation and smiled bitterly.
The sword master who came through the battlefield of hell is shaken in front of a child?
He shook his head and stood facing the young man.
“Do you have any business for me?”
The young man, Elio, asked with an indifferent expression.
“Are you Magenta, the manager of the Black Market?”
“That’s right. “What about that one?”
“Damn it, not even this guy. Then who is it? “It’s going to turn.”
Magenta frowned at the young man’s incomprehensible complaints.
How can you act so arrogantly in front of yourself, the sword master?
“I asked who you were.”
“This is Elio Lagoa.”
“… … .”
Magenta, who blinked at the unexpected answer, asked cautiously.
“Ah, it was Count Lagoa. “I guess you’re looking for someone?”
“A person who continues to throw firewood into the flames of war.”
Magenta cleared her throat with an embarrassed face.
It’s scary because the black market is selling weapons to the southern kingdom.
“I just…” … .”
Elio cut off Magenta’s excuse.
“You are not the person I am looking for.”
“Oh, yes. The Count’s adventure stories are also popular among black market workers. If you need help with Black Market, please contact us at any time.”
Magenta is a sword master, but she lowered her head.
This is because the opponent is the strongest Grand Master of this era, having destroyed not only the Demon Lord and Sword Master, but even the Battalion unit.
Elio, who was staring at Magenta, suddenly asked a question.
“Who do you think is responsible for this war?”
“Of course he is the crown prince. “It was a war that occurred because he dispatched a large number of imperial troops to the border of the southern kingdom of the Principality of Tofla, right?”
“Are you okay with the southern kingdoms’ previous actions of trying to monopolize the Abyss?”
This was said in reference to the southern kingdoms changing the qualifications for entering the Abyss from a ‘report system’ to a ‘permission system’.
The ‘permission system’ requires prior approval to enter the Abyss.
Compared to the past, where people could come and go freely just by reporting, it was a significantly strengthened access procedure.
“I think you’re talking about the permit system… … . “There has not been a single case where the Southern Kingdom has refused permission to enter the Abyss.”
“The empire cannot be at ease just because it didn’t exist. “Would the empire be willing to accept a law that could be applied against you at any time?”
“Excuse me, but that’s the logic the Empire insists on.”
“that’s right. And you are defending the kingdom’s position.”
“… … .”
Magenta did not refute.
Because it was true that he was on the side of the kingdom – at least in this war.
Elio turned around without asking any more questions.
There was nothing new to learn from Magenta, so further conversation was a waste of time.
Fermosa Estella.
Elio returned to his dorm after breaking up with Magenta and lying down on his bed.
Everything went back to square one.
I’ve met all the suspicious people in the Southern Kingdom and the Magic Tower, but it’s all in vain.
I thought I caught up right behind, but what a terrible result!
As he lamented, he closed his eyes to cool his troubled mind.
How much time has passed?
Elio opened his eyes and slowly raised his upper body.
My stomach was growling as if it was already time for dinner.
Elio got off the bed and trudged to the restaurant alone.
The restaurant was suddenly filled with customers who had come for dinner.
This is uncomfortable without Fabian by my side.
As of now, there has been no news of the person who went out to meet Miss Ariette in the morning.
‘It’s a good time.’
The manager guided Elio, who had a lonely face, to an empty seat.
As Elio finished his meal, the manager approached him cautiously.
“Count?”
“why?”
Elio wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked up at the manager.
“At around 5 o’clock, Baron Walter Beck of the Administrative Bureau visited.”
So what should I do?
Elio blinked and the manager continued speaking with an awkward smile.
“They asked me to charge you for accommodation until today. Oh, again… … Be sure to convey that fact to the Count… … .”
“ah… … .”
These guys are truly heartless.
They cut off support immediately after letting go of Magenta!
When Elio nodded as if he understood, the manager quietly left.
‘You said until today, right?’
Unlike usual, he ordered a lot of alcohol and various snacks.
And I drank alone while listening to the song of the young man Bardos.
When I was getting a little drunk, someone quietly sat down across from Elio.
It was Fabian.
“Why are you drinking alone?”
“Am I you? “Drink with anyone?”
“Hey, at least call the manager.”
“The manager is guilty of something. “Do you think it’s easy to notice nobles?”
“It’s because I don’t like drinking alone.”
“Then come quickly.”
“How does that make you feel? “Even now, we are forced to break up.”
“Why are you breaking up? “Let’s just live together.”
“haha… … .”
Fabian, who was laughing awkwardly, quickly changed the topic.
“But what about magenta? Wasn’t it him too?”
“how did you know?”
“Because Lord Lagoa is dressed exactly as I saw him in the morning.”
“It’s daunting to start over from scratch.”
“But I think you can do well.”
“By the way, when I let Magenta go, the Ministry of Intelligence immediately cut off support. “We have to calculate the lodging costs starting tomorrow.”
“They are vile people.”
“So I’m enjoying my last supper.”
“aha! “I wondered what was going on because Sir Lagoa was acting alone.”
“What about the board? I barely have this much. If you want to eat something, order it. “Starting tomorrow, you will have to check the price before ordering.”
“All right. “It was a monumental day, but it worked out well.”
“What are you celebrating?”
“Actually, today… … “I proposed to Miss Ariette.”
“really?”
For a moment, Elio thought of Miss Sarah, but did not dare to mention it.
How can human relationships be forced?
“yes.”
Fabian spoke with his own mouth and scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.
“What did Miss Ariette say?”
“I said it was good.”
“Congratulations. So when do you plan on doing it?”
“I want to do this when I go to Slash Land… … What do you think?”
Fabian looked at Count Lagoa.
He hoped that Count Lagoa would officiate at Slash Land.
However, I don’t know if Count Lagoa, who is just waiting for the day to return to his hometown, will allow it.
“I’m sorry, but I plan to go home immediately after dealing with Ushas Undra. I was away from my family for too long. “You don’t have to have your wedding in Slash Land, right?”
“Yes, that is true. “If you think about Ms. Ariette’s family, the system is better.”
“It’s a wedding for two people, so make your own decisions.”
“Then shall we do it while Sir Lagoa and I remain in the Islands? Would that be okay?”
“What about your family?”
“We just have to go north and have another wedding.”
“If you can, do it that way.”
“Then, let’s proceed as quickly as possible.”
“Do you have a house to live in after getting married?”
“We’re not going to merge right away. “Miss Ariette still has time left on her Bardos contract, and I also have to go with Lord Lagoa, right?”
Elio chuckled when he saw Fabian’s excited face.
Seeing that they are pushing forward recklessly without any preparation, it seems like it is for real this time.
