The next morning.

I rode the horsepower carriage with Seron.

The carriage began to move quickly away from Prinus.

“Come to think of it, it’s been a while since you went out, hasn’t it?”

“Yes. I usually live within my inner self.”

When you see this guy’s routine, it’s only natural.

Didn’t they say that stealing late in life is more dangerous?

That was a proverb that was also used in public opinion and the swordsmanship.

Food. Training. Sleep.

Their daily life could be perfectly summed up in three words.

It wasn’t hard to guess why.

‘It must be because it’s fun. It must also be because it’s urgent.’

Just as Korea, where I lived, was experiencing a boom in early childhood education, the same was true in the central continent.

Whether it’s swordsmanship or magic.

It was common sense here that even if you were over five years old, you would be able to hold a wooden sword if circumstances allowed.

From that perspective, it was no different from Seonron and Geumgwidae getting off to a relatively late start.

Although Se-ron was twelve years old, the same age as me, the Geomgwidae were at least in their mid-teens.

There were many people in their early to mid 20s.

They were a kind of omnipotent students.

So how can a fire not fall on the instep?

Desperation must have made the guys sweat.

“How is the level of the Sword Master?”

“They are guys who are basically talented at fighting, and their willpower is also quite strong, so their skills are improving day by day. They have all reached the sword user level.”

Everyone is already at the level of a sword user.

It was good news.

“If we hurry, there will be someone who achieves Expert status within the next year?”

“Yes. If it’s Hans and James… I think it’s possible.”

The two men mentioned by Seron were top-class gladiators. They had talents greater than those of most knights, so it might be possible.

“Aren’t you both in your 20s?”

“Yes, that’s right. So it’s a little disappointing.”

If you hadn’t learned the methods of controlling your internal energy, such as the Oer Simbeop or Mana training methods, until your twenties, the passages in your body were likely to have become turbid.

That’s why we start training from a young age.

It was because the various energies could circulate well thanks to the clean passages. That must be why Se-ron said it was a pity.

“There may be limitations, but that doesn’t mean you can’t become an expert. If you work hard, opportunities will come.”

“I believe so too.”

If the members of the Sword Demon Corps continued to show good performance, they could provide assistance in the future with items such as elixirs.

Although elixirs are difficult to obtain now, they will become easier to produce as time goes by.

Outside the window of the horse carriage, farmlands on the outskirts began to appear. The wheat that had been dying and withering a month ago was no longer there.

I noticed that the crops had come back to life enough to be harvested.

‘If it were the territories that introduced my magic circle… … the situation would be similar.’

Because the water supply is delayed, we will not be able to harvest a large amount of food. But at least we will be able to harvest enough food to keep us from starving.

It was a beautiful virtuous cycle that made money and saved lives.

‘Come to think of it.’

How much platinum have you earned with magic circles so far?

Even at a rough estimate, it would easily exceed three thousand platinum coins.

Even with this income, there were still plenty of places selling magic circles.

Originally, the product was sold at the highest price in the beginning. At first, it started to be sold only to families that could be called prestigious, and now even the families below the counts began to supply magic circles one by one.

It meant that the revenue cycle still had the power to turn once more.

It was a lucky thing for me.

Although the income earned from the magic circle was large, there were many places where the money could be spent even more than the income earned.

It was obvious that just making a golem would cost me more than five hundred platinum coins, and on top of that, I had to cover everything from the cost of hiring vassals within the territory to the cost of maintaining the soldiers.

As authority increased, so did responsibility.

‘Is this the best feeling?’

After finishing my thoughts, I chuckled.

As I looked at public opinion, one thought crossed my mind.

‘The link of fate… ‘

After Leonhardt became a top-tier knight through enlightenment, he gained a powerful power boost through the creation of the Link of Destiny.

What if public opinion also has that ring?

I don’t know if it will be the same effect as Leonhard, but it won’t be a bad effect.

‘… … How can I create a chain of fate?’

Is it necessary to achieve special conditions for each character?

Like increasing favorability, giving enlightenment, or causing a major change in one’s state of mind, etc.

There were several approaches that came to mind.

Rather than a vague approach, I thought the best approach would be to get to know my colleagues more deeply through conversation.

To do that.

“Do you have any worries these days?”

After all, talking to each other was the best solution.

* ? ?* ? ?*

A day has passed since the carriage moved.

The Trasden estate began to come into view outside the window.

“You’ve arrived.”

“Okay. Get ready to get off soon. I have to go to Naeseong.”

“All right.”

While we were moving in the carriage, I had a rather deep conversation with the guy. We talked about various topics. There was one thing I felt from that conversation.

‘I’ve calmed down considerably.’

It was a change in public opinion.

The guy who usually appears timid and then takes out his sword and changes into another form has now started showing the appearance of a swordsman even in his normal life.

‘It was the same when the escaped gladiators came.’

There was a time when, as soon as someone tried to lay a hand on me, I pulled out my sword without hesitation and cut off their hand.

What’s important here is that the guy made that decision before he pulled out his sword. It also meant that he had the intention of cutting off the hand before the sword spirit was even activated.

Perhaps it is because of the ten-gem stone ring that greatly enhances mental strength.

‘Well… … it’s a good thing.’

The purpose of saving Seron was to recruit great dealers for the future.

In that sense, it could be said that his current bold appearance was much better than his previous timid appearance. If any problems arose due to the assimilation of personalities, I don’t know, but right now, he was absorbing only the advantages of the swordsman.

Cool judgment, composure, boldness, etc.

This was one of the beautiful virtues a knight should possess. For now, I plan to keep watching the guy.

The Marquis.

Once I got there, I met Abel right away.

Since I had already contacted the direct line, I wasn’t surprised by the sudden visit.

“Are you here?”

“Yes, big brother.”

“I thought it would be hard to see you since you became independent, but that wasn’t the case.”

“It was quite inconvenient because there was no gate.”

Abel nodded at my words.

“That’s right. Once you get used to the convenience of civilization, it’s hard to break away from that convenience. This is especially true for items like teleportation gates.”

“Yes, what my older brother said is correct.”

To install a gate, you must be at least a mid-level tower or have the rank of a count or higher.

Both of these were difficult conditions to achieve in the current situation.

‘Although the requirements for the intermediate magic tower are much less demanding.’

After meeting the qualifications, I had to get permission from the imperial family. The qualifications were obviously not simple. So for now, I had no choice but to borrow the power of my family.

Well, it wasn’t like I was borrowing it for free, so there was no need to kneel.

He took out a two-style swordsmanship book from his magic pouch and handed it to Abel.

Then Abel started staring at me.

“Oh, right. That guy.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Every time you come here, you bring a swordsman’s book with you. It’s both strange and absurd. Sometimes, I wonder if you’re a real wizard.”

He’s a wizard, right?

If I had aura or spirit power or some other energy that was completely different from mana, then I wouldn’t know, but since that wasn’t the case, I was definitely a wizard.

However, the knowledge he possesses is greater than that of a great wizard.

“Yes, you are a wizard.”

“Yes. But there is no wizard like you in the whole world.”

“So you don’t like it?”

“How could that be?”

Abel and I smiled without saying a word. Then he spoke.

“By the way… was it true what you told me last time? That grain prices would soon peak.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hmm… I thought it would go up more… Is there a reason why you think so?”

“Big brother. Didn’t you recently purchase a magic circle from Elwin’s superior?”

“That’s right. Did the top come to Prinus as well?”

The nobles, including the Marquis, probably still don’t know who created the magic circle. That’s because they told Himon to hide the source as much as possible.

Because it would be no good for the world to know that I was making a lot of money with magic circles.

Now it was time to tell Abel this fact.

“That magic circle. I made it.”

“……you?”

“yes.”

“…….”

Silence fell in the office.

That was for a moment.

“……Oh, right. Is that why you supplied the magic circle at a low price?”

“Yes. Do you really want to pay such a high price for a family meal?”

While other prestigious families were asking for around four hundred platinum coins, my family was asking for only around fifty. It was a kind of bargain sale.

“Somehow. I thought it was too cheap, but it turns out you were behind the Elwin Group.”

“That’s right. The upper group will be in charge of distribution, and we agreed to split the profits fifty-fifty. Now, I plan to release the magic circle to not only the noble families, but also other families. At a slightly cheaper price.”

Even if I do that, the nobles won’t grind their teeth. They’ve already used my magic circle to save a considerable amount of grain. They’ll probably think of it as a premium for using the magic circle first.

Even if you grind your teeth.

‘The Elwin Group will handle it anyway.’

That was something I had discussed with Himon in advance.

He must have already accumulated a great deal of wealth, so he will take care of things and resolve them smoothly. He was a man of that level of ability.

“As time goes by, the magic circle I created will begin to spread beyond the Alton Empire to other countries. When water becomes abundant.”

“The food shortage caused by the famine is bound to lose momentum.”

“That’s right. The price of a sack of wheat right now… isn’t it around 20 silver?”

“In the Alton Empire and the Holy Empire, the price was roughly around that level… In the Five Kingdoms, it is said that the price soared to 30 silver.”

The Empire may have started to see prices stagnate, but the Five Kingdoms were different.

This was because there was still quite a bit of time left until the magic circle was revealed.

It wasn’t difficult to predict the highest price.

“If the price goes up to 50 silver, sell it all to the Five Kingdoms. Since you didn’t see much of a price difference because of me… I will donate all the wheat I purchased in my name to my family.”

Since they bought a sack of wheat for about 7 silver, they were making a profit of about 7 times.

The wheat that Abel purchased was worth six hundred platinum pieces.

And the thirty platinum coins worth of wheat that I had purchased.

If they could sell all of these at that price, they wouldn’t have to worry about finances for a while.

Because it was like having about 440 billion won in cash in an instant?

“50 silver… is that the highest amount you expected?”

“That’s right. If possible, it would be best to sell it for that amount. The price will drop quickly as the magic circle spreads.”

“Okay, I’ll trust you. I don’t need to give you four names. As a result, I’ve gained a huge amount of money… Do you think I should be so rude?”

“No. I didn’t expect the price to be much higher than this. If you really feel uncomfortable, think of it as a gift from me. Thanks to the magic circle, I have become quite wealthy.”

Is this something you can happily give away as a gift?

After I insisted several times, Abel finally accepted my gift.

“……Thank you, Kyle. I feel bad for always receiving help.”

“If you really want to apologize, wouldn’t it be okay if I use the gate I’m going to use today for free?”

“If I say more, won’t it just be nagging?”

The fact that I was able to travel to Count Neiron’s house for free was a bonus.
