118

A day passed since Simton joined the city.

Outside the castle, soldiers were moving busily.

It was for the sake of the retreat.

A thousand soldiers and ten knights.

These were the remaining troops of the clan that had not returned.

Because of Adolf, there was chaos and he was in dire need of strength to recover, so he was very grateful that he had left behind this many troops.

‘If we add the existing troops that were in Prinus here… … .’

At least it seemed like we could put our security concerns aside for the time being.

I left the office and approached Craft and Duke.

“It’s already the day you return.”

Kraft nodded at those words.

“I have been watching the Four Princes’ movements closely for the past week.”

“What do you think of the review?”

“Excellent. It wasn’t a long time, but I would say it was a time when I could see the determination of the Four Princes.”

“thank you.”

“In that short period of time, not only was the city’s administration reorganized, but the soldiers’ hearts were also immediately swayed… I am truly amazed.”

Then the old knight, who had been staring at me, spoke.

“I heard that the appointment letter will be issued by the imperial family soon.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Listening to what Confucius said, it seems like it’s a very difficult condition… Is that okay?”

“You have to do it. It’s not something you can avoid just because it’s difficult.”

“I understand. I will be looking forward to it. By the way. The Marquis will always welcome the Fourth Prince.”

I would welcome him, but I had no intention of returning to my family with the title of a failure.

“I will definitely achieve it.”

“There is that option too. By the way, the third son.”

Duke, who had been listening to the conversation between me and the old knight, answered.

“yes.”

“If you have something to say to the Fourth Prince, say it now. I heard that when you return, you will be going to the Storm Troops… It is a very busy place there.”

Duke nodded slowly at Craft’s words.

“Kyle. I hope you do well.”

“Thank you. By the way, are you going to join the Storm Troop?”

“That’s what happened. My older brother helped me.”

Stormtroopers.

It was the highest order of knights in the Marquis’ House.

Of course, the cutoff line was also high.

‘The minimum skill required was… … Expert Intermediate.’

Although the Duke was a low-ranking knight, he was a man of great talent with strong blood and connections.

So, I guess he joined there.

I smiled faintly as I looked at the guy.

‘It’s amazing to see it like this.’

Adolf’s rebellion.

Whether it was a success or a failure, Duke was always just one of those extras who had their eyes closed.

But in this episode, the guy was starting to live a different life.

It was the same for Erciel.

‘By the way, it’s still a question mark.’

Duke Celtarian.

The talent floating above the guy’s name was still a question mark.

‘Will it become visible when I achieve 3 circles?’

Or there may be special unlocking conditions.

Even though I achieved 2 circles, I still can’t see it, so my suspicions are leaning in that direction.

Well, I guess we’ll see someday.

Then the Duke extended his hand to me.

He held her hand tightly and spoke.

“Take care, hyung. Don’t get hurt for no reason.”

“Okay. You too, take care. I’ll come visit you once a year or so.”

“okay.”

After exchanging greetings with the two men, I went to find the little boy. This guy was also scheduled to move with the returning army today.

The guy who looked at me asked a question.

“There’s no teleportation gate here?”

“Yes. You need to be at least a Count or a mid-level Magic Tower to meet the conditions for installing the gate. Unfortunately, neither of those are true. Well… if it’s a Magic Wagon, you can just travel for another day or so.”

“……Do you know how annoying it is to go back and forth?”

“Yes, I know. So you’re not coming?”

Iris remained silent at my words.

I guess I have no choice but to come.

I saw the guy and said quietly.

“If it’s too much trouble, there is a way.”

“What is it?”

“You can just come to the tower I’ll build. Then you won’t have to go back and forth.”

“that…….”

“Of course, it’s not forced. It’s Young-ae’s choice.”

Iris Nayron.

If this little brat could come to my tower, I could gain a huge benefit.

First of all, I will be able to have a solid assistant magician who can be evaluated as SSS-class under my command, and I will also be able to monitor his actions 24/7.

Naturally, the correction of various malicious traits had to be accelerated. What if my precious daughter was transferred to Prinus?

Count Frantel.

There was no way that foolish daughter could just sit still.

‘I’ll give you some support, please.’

It means that I want you to take good care of my youngest daughter.

A situation where there is a mountain of money needed to develop the territory.

Any amount of such well-intentioned support was appreciated.

‘And on top of that, you get to have the Count on your back.’

The moment she becomes a member of my magic tower.

Those who will confront me in the future will have to consider the two prestigious houses in the East.

Neiron and Celtharion.

Even if you are a peacock, you cannot be free from these two names.

‘I wonder if it would be different for the imperial family of the past, where power was not divided.’

This would be a huge political advantage.

If you come, that’s great, if not, then there’s nothing we can do about it.

Since there was nothing to lose, the offer could be made lightly.

“Please take your time and think about it on the way.”

“……all right.”

The little boy who finished speaking started looking at me with sparkling eyes.

It looked like he wanted something.

I could tell right away what it was.

‘It must be a magic book.’

Last time, the guy handed me a magic book on the way home.

This time, it seemed like there was still a hope.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“……You’re not going to give it to me this time?”

“What are you talking about?”

“……It’s a magic book. I gave it to you last time.”

“Ah. This time, I couldn’t produce it because I was too busy with work.”

“…….”

The moment I finished answering.

A look of great disappointment began to appear in the little boy’s eyes.

The purple ponytail felt like it was hanging down, which was a bonus.

The reaction is funny.

I felt like I needed to stop teasing the kid.

I chuckled and took out the magic book from my arms.

“Here it is.”

“……was there?”

“I made it in advance in case you get bored on the way.”

Even with that fast horsepower carriage, it took more than two weeks to make a round trip, so it was right to provide this as a service.

“It is a magic book that contains five circle 1 magic spells and five circle 2 magic spells.”

“……Are you kidding me just now?”

“well.”

“……Chee.”

Immediately after, the little boy who had received the magic book began to wiggle his fingers.

“……I’ll take a good look at it.”

“Yes. Please learn quickly. Then you will be able to achieve the 3rd circle quickly. At your current pace, you will be overtaken by me in no time.”

It was true.

3 circles.

It was the next level that I had to challenge myself at.

At those words, Iris’s eyes showed signs of weariness.

“How long has it been since I achieved the 2nd circle…….”

“The difference in talent is deep and wide.”

“……Just because you’re busy with your work, you won’t neglect preparing for next month’s classes, right?”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

After the conversation between me and Iris ended like that.

The army began to withdraw from Prinus. True independence had begun.

‘The first thing to do is.’

My top priority was to improve my skills.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like it would be difficult to raise the circle.

Maybe it was because quite some time had passed since achieving the 2nd circle, but the unstable circle had now settled down properly.

‘I guess I’ll have to use the ancient magic circle again.’

The material needed to achieve the 3rd circle was an intermediate mana stone.

Fortunately, we already had plenty of materials.

This was because it was possible to use the mana stones stored within the city.

Unfortunately, there was almost no supply of high-level mana stones, but since what I needed now was intermediate-level mana stones, it didn’t really matter.

‘I need to quickly achieve 5 circles here.’

My goal was to manage Prinus and achieve 5 circles.

If I could just achieve 5 circles, it would be entirely possible to have a magic showdown with Houdini.

It would have been impossible with an ordinary 5-circle.

But I had light attribute mana.

This was an energy that could deal a huge blow to the guy. What if it was combined with a real driving mechanism?

‘Even if the guy releases his power, he’ll still be able to hit.’

The idea was to quickly raise the circle while developing the city at the same time.

The power of an individual is finite.

Even a great wizard of circle 7 or higher would be defeated by an army of tens of thousands.

‘If only I had the power of an immortal.’

It took a lot of time to gain that level of power. Just look at the enlightenment that is required from the 6th circle and above.

Sword Master.

Archmage.

Grand Master.

There has always been a need for enlightenment at the upper levels of various professions. This applies not only to NPCs, but also to users.

‘Because it was a game, the conditions were somewhat relaxed… … .’

In the end, it was the same for users as well, who needed to come to an understanding.

From the higher levels onwards, tricks become less and less effective.

This was like the game’s difficulty increasing exponentially as it progressed.

That’s why not a single user has cleared this game.

Prinus.

It was for this very reason that he became the lord of this place and tried to develop the city.

What if my growth reaches a plateau?

‘At that time, we will have to use the power of the group.’

A lord may command private soldiers.

In the past, when the empire had strong imperial power, the number of private soldiers was limited, but now it was different.

This is especially true now that the center has rotted and fallen into disrepair.

If only we could drastically increase the number of private soldiers following the 5th circle.

‘I’ll be able to move around much more freely than I do now.’

The giant of the East.

That was the next goal I was thinking about.

After finishing my thoughts, I moved towards the magic laboratory inside the castle.

This was one of the new spaces we created after we took over this place. It was meant to be used whenever there was something that needed to be done quietly.

Of course, everyone except me, Leonhard, and Ersiel was prohibited from entering.

As soon as I entered the lab, I drew a magic circle.

It was a double magic circle that was more complex than the magic circle drawn in the 2nd circle.

Naturally, more mana stones were added than before.

Ten intermediate mana stones.

Twenty low-grade mana stones.

It was a material for utilizing a magic circle.

There was no hesitation in putting in the materials.

The more abundant the mana, the better.

Especially when creating a new circle, it was a no-brainer.

Unlike when I achieved Circle 2, I was now in a position where I could use my Mana Stones without reserve.

That’s why power is supreme.

Five additional intermediate mana stones were used to control mana there.

It took a lot of ingredients, but I don’t regret it.

If I hadn’t used the magic circle, I would have had to spend endless time trying to raise the circle.

The reason I was able to challenge the 3rd circle only a few months after achieving the 2nd circle was because of my knowledge of magic circles.

This time, I used the mana cutter to carve patterns into the mana stone.

‘Shall we begin?’

Now that the preparations were complete, it was time to put them into action.

After stepping into the center of the magic circle, he activated it.

Blue manas starting to flow out slowly.

Previously, I only used my right arm to receive that mana, but now I don’t need to do that.

Starting from the upper body, then both hands and one leg.

Perhaps because I had been making passages here and there, about 70% of the passages in my body were already open.

As the number of entrances increased, the speed at which mana flowed in also increased significantly.

Mana overflowing due to the abundance of materials.

There is even the ability to control mana using talent.

The creation of the third circle went very smoothly.

* ? ?* ? ?*

‘It’s over.’

Inside my body, observed through my mind’s eye, there were three circles.

The most recently created circle was over 60% complete, despite having only just been created.

A shape that is held tightly.

There is even mana overflowing within the circle.

The generous investment in materials was well worth it.

‘I guess I should start looking for the 3rd circle magic books.’

It was fairly easy to obtain magic books up to the 2nd circle, but it was different from the 3rd circle onwards. This was because magic books of higher circles were not easy to obtain.

It didn’t matter though.

‘I made a contract with the Duke in advance in preparation for such a situation.’

For now, I’ll ask around and pay a fortune to get the magic book, but it’ll be a different story when the magic tower is built.

The contract with Meleos.

The conditions for the performance of that contract are as follows.

‘It was to build a magic tower.’

From then on, you will be able to rely on the Duke’s support.

Naturally, my gaze turned to Yeongji.
