136

A day has passed since I appointed Seron as my knight.

In the meantime, I spent my time taking care of business at Yeongji.

The city was running just fine without me.

As time goes by, the wealthy customers I want will start visiting Prinus one by one.

‘I guess I’ll have to sell expensive artifacts from then on.’

Using the same materials did not necessarily result in artifacts with equivalent performance.

This was because the process of engraving the magic circuit and the process of imprinting it both had to be done correctly.

I’ve already thought about how to solve that process.

First of all, I was thinking of leaving the circuit-related part to Simton.

The guy had a talent for magical circuitry.

This will increase your overall understanding of the circuit at the same time.

‘It was a talent that was also very helpful in figuring out the fairy tale rate.’

Each material used had its own appropriate magic circuit.

How well materials and circuits fit together is usually expressed by the word assimilation rate, and naturally, the higher the assimilation rate, the higher the efficiency of the completed artifact.

Naturally, finding out the assimilation rate was one of the most important research tasks for the magicians who created the artifacts.

Even if you have high-grade materials, the output and grade of the artifact will be lowered if you carve a circuit with a low assimilation rate.

The talent that helped us figure out these assimilation rates faster and easier was magical circuitry, and as a bonus, it also increased the possibility of discovering new circuits.

Although I could talk for three days and nights about the assimilation of circuits and materials, the wizards here were obviously different.

There were still tens of thousands of materials and circuits they had to explore.

If the Duke of Emilton had recognized Simton’s talent, they would have invited him to an executive position without fail.

‘Because it’s a talent that is so welcomed.’

Assimilation rate of circuits and materials.

That was one of the most important pieces of knowledge.

In the future, I plan to entrust all circuit-related work to Simton. As he handles related work, he may discover new circuits.

The work I was in charge of was the final stage of production, the magic imprinting.

This was very simple.

All I had to do was place the artifact with the circuit engraved on it into the mana liquid, then activate it by blowing my mana into it.

It was still the same that the artifact’s performance would be doubled just by participating in the engraving process.

So there was no need to be involved in the entire process from beginning to end of production?

Those miscellaneous processes can be handled by the talented people under me.

‘The leak can be blocked with a magic contract.’

As I create expensive artifacts with Simton, I will naturally come to understand some of the knowledge I already know.

The idea was to prevent leaks with a magic contract.

Regardless of whether the leak was prevented or not, it was definitely a win-win for Simton.

Assimilation rate of materials and circuits.

And even the shape of a new circuit that no one knows about yet.

To figure these things out, there were as many wizards as grains of sand who were still conducting research with their eyes bloodshot.

Why would you refuse if I told you that?

As you gain new knowledge in this way, you may suddenly have an epiphany like Leonhard.

Then I guess it’s a great blessing for me.

For high-priced artifacts, I was thinking of making items with defensive functions one by one.

Originally, people with a lot of money would spend money without sparing anything for their survival.

After finishing my thoughts, I called out to Seron.

Not even five minutes later, the guy opened the door to the office and came in and looked at me.

“I heard you called.”

“Oh. You’ve been training in the territory these days, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Come with me somewhere.”

“Yes? Where…….”

“I’m thinking about participating in the Magic Tower Auction… but I think I’ll need an escort.”

Rooftop auction.

There isn’t much time left.

The process of holding a rooftop auction was simple.

Every six months, one of the four magic towers in the east, west, south, and north takes turns hosting the auction, and after the region is determined.

The structure was such that the auction was held at one of the higher-level or higher magic towers in the area.

The Magic Tower Auction was an event with enormous stakes, as it attracted a large number of magicians from all four Magic Tower Associations.

If the distance was far, there were countless wizards who would come through the gate to sell or obtain items.

This was precisely the reason why the Empire’s top-tier magic towers could not monopolize the hosting of auctions at will.

‘I won’t be able to make a sound until the intermediate level, but… … the advanced level is different.’

East, west, south, north.

There were about three high-level magic towers in each of the four regions, but when the high-level magic towers gathered together, even the highest-level magic towers, the white and black magic towers, would inevitably sway.

That is why the upper and upper level magic towers agreed to share the hosting among themselves.

‘Well, thanks to that, I feel more comfortable.’

Coincidentally, the place where this magic tower auction was held was the Plains Magic Tower located in Count Neiron’s house. This was one of the three high-level magic towers in the East.

Because of the raid on the top mine, I was a little behind on my deadline to teach Iris magic.

I had already told him through the phone, but he might have puffed up his cheeks by now.

I thought it would be perfect to visit the Baekjakga and take a class along with the auction.

‘I have to see Count Frantel too.’

A food merchant who can be said to be quite experienced.

I had something to share with him too.

Since I could accomplish my goal and take care of other things at the same time, Count Neyron’s house was the best destination. Seron tilted his head for a moment at those words and looked at me.

“I… your highness?”

“why?”

“Isn’t Lord Leonhard accompanying you?”

“This time, yes. You are the captain of the knights, but you have been away from your post for too long because of me. To be honest, it would be difficult to leave your post again.”

Last time I took Houdini with me to interview him one-on-one, but this time it was different.

This year’s Magic Tower auction will attract a large number of magicians.

Having many eyes watching meant that my safety was guaranteed to some extent.

The guy nodded at those words.

“……Honestly, that’s true. If we’re not careful, the discipline of the other knights could easily be compromised.”

You punk.

Who would have thought that a guy who used to roll around as a gladiator in an illegal arena would now worry about the discipline of the knights?

My direct subordinates were gradually growing, both mentally and in terms of skill.

It didn’t feel bad to look at it.

“You’re right. So this time, I have to bring another knight as my escort… The only guys I can really trust are you and Leonhard. But you’re the only one left, right?”

The guy looked impressed by my words.

“……Although I am lacking, I will protect you with my life.”

“Yes. I should take this opportunity to see the world. Count Neiron’s estate is a fairly prosperous one, so there’ll be plenty to see.”

“yes.”

“We’re planning to leave tomorrow, so get ready.”

“Okay. Are you… planning on traveling by magic carriage?”

“Until we get to our hometown and use the gate, I guess that’ll do.”

A situation where you have been away from your territory for almost a month in order to obtain the highest grade mana stones?

It was quite burdensome to spend so much time here again, because it wasn’t a good thing for the lord to be away from his post for so long.

That was true even when considering the fact that Erciel handled the affairs of the territory without any flaws.

So I was thinking of using the gate to get there quickly.

Public opinion nodded to my words.

“Okay, then I’ll get ready.”

“Yes. Now that the Sword Masters have learned enough, they will be training well even without you.”

“yes.”

So the public opinion went out of the office.

After sending the report, he immediately called Erciel and told him what happened.

“If it’s Count Nathan……”

“I’m thinking of participating in the Magic Tower Auction that will be held there. So, would you be able to take care of the territory for me this time too?”

“Yes, I will.”

“Yes. I’m sorry. I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve been going out more than usual, even though I’m a permanent resident.”

It seemed like she was being given too much work to do.

Actually, I would like to have someone else take over.

Running a estate was not a simple child’s play.

Besides, even if he was very capable, it was impossible to entrust such an important task to someone who was untrustworthy.

Erciel was perfectly suited for the role.

Although he was young, he was smart and could handle his work quickly. He could also easily relieve physical fatigue with his spirit.

To continue to work as my secretary in the future.

‘From now on, I have to continue to handle the work of the spirit world while also expanding my horizons.’

If Leonhard, Simton, and many of his retainers help, the affairs of the estate will be handled as smoothly as before, unless something major comes up.

Then Erciel shook his head.

“No. It’s something I can help you with, so of course I should do it.”

“Thank you for understanding. I’ll probably be back within a week.”

“You’re coming back early?”

“I plan on using the gate.”

“You should come back healthy.”

“of course.”

After finishing the conversation with Erciel, I also spoke to Simton and Leonhard.

Simton was easy to persuade. This was probably because he was already used to living a hard life. On the other hand, Leonhardt had to be persuaded for quite some time.

However, he eventually nodded at the words that it would be difficult for the captain of the knights to be away from his post for too long.

Everything was ready to depart.

While working in the office.

The communal crystal ball on the desk rang.

As soon as I breathed in mana, the opponent’s face appeared.

?Did you finish your tour well?

Duke of Meleos.

That was it.

“Yes. It’s been a while, Your Majesty.”

?Yeah. You said Erciel? You must have caught my eye. She’s really smart and kind.

“Have you ever talked to each other?”

?The only way I can contact you is through this crystal ball. You should give me a direct crystal ball or something, okay?

It seemed that she had received a call while she was working. Since she was working with Simton, it wouldn’t have been difficult for her to receive a call from the public repair shop.

?By the way, do you plan on staying in Yeongji this time?

“No. I think I need to participate in the Magic Tower Auction held at the Plains Magic Tower.”

?Matap Auction… … Well. Auctions are perfect for obtaining the materials you need. Items like Lurmangel’s Jewel are hard to obtain outside of the Matap Auction.

“Yes, that’s right.”

?We’ll have to meet up to make a deal anyway… … Okay. I’ll go there myself.

“……Are you saying this yourself, Your Highness? There will be friction with Marquis Houdini.”

The Eastern and Western Mataphoe were notorious for not getting along very well. Dogs and cats.

They are that much of enemies.

Naturally, by the time the two tower auctions were held, it was common for even the marquis and duke, who could be called the leaders, not to visit.

I don’t know if it would be okay to just send the luggage below.

If he moves, Marquis Houdini will naturally move along with him.

The peacock smiled brightly at my words.

?The reason I haven’t participated in the eastern auctions up until now is because I wanted to spend some time practicing my magic. But… … If you guys come, I don’t think it would be a waste of time to participate in the auctions.

Well, there was no need to stop me.

There was nothing wrong with him and me talking.

Rather, my intimate conversation with the Duke might have greatly increased my value in the Eastern Tower Society.

“As you wish, Your Majesty.”

It seemed likely that the two great wizards would meet face to face at the auction.
