Episode 104. Imperial business trip (1)

“Lalala~?”

A hum just comes out.

The festival took place over two days.

The monster subjugation is over.

There weren’t as many monsters as the first day.

The knights and soldiers took care of it and captured it.

Then, they came back and ate and played for two days under the pretense of a successful subjugation and a knighthood ceremony.

As food and supplies became abundant, the faces of the people of the territory brightened up.

The estate’s financial condition was perfect.

Everyone was happy.

“Anyway, what should I do as a gift? There is no way to spend gold on your Majesty’s birthday. “Are there any valuable items?”

I thought about my belongings.

“The Heavenly Buryeong is a long article, so it cannot be done, and the Paishan royal brooch is a gift from Fiona… … . “What would be better?”

My belongings were insufficient to give as a gift to His Majesty the Emperor.

The sorrow brought about by the reality of a poor lord.

“ah!”

A surprising thought occurred to me.

In times like this, what you need is a chance to become an acquaintance!

The only place on the continent that can provide items of interest to the super-rich Emperor!

I found the contact crystal ball provided by the wizard guild and put my energy into it.

Paaaat!

A soft light burst out.

and.

“Crystal ball test. One, two, three. “Come out to the wizard guild, Oba.”

He said it playfully, in a modern radio style.

– What’s going on, Count Frausch?

“ah… … . yes… … . yes.”

My face turned red at the quicker response than expected.

Behavior unbecoming of the earl’s dignity.

“I would like to contact Gerius about something important.”

– All right. We will connect you to the magic tower.

The wizard’s response was quick.

And a quick spell is heard.

– Count Frausch, what’s going on? Please call me all.

“haha. “Brother, how have you been?”

– Brother? Am I your brother?

“Hey, why are you doing that? “Aren’t you my only older brother in the world?”

– What’s the big deal if we haven’t had any contact for a while? As you know, I am just an ordinary wizard who has no title or money and is busy every day.

Is the Demon Tower Master’s disciple an ordinary wizard?

“older brother. There is good news, but it’s sad. “It looks like you’re busy, so I’ll contact you later.”

– good news? Ouch, what is it?

Good brother Gerius’s trick is clearly visible.

I became 100-level sharp in order to get my master’s degree.

An expert at throwing bait and catching fish.

“It’s really good… That’s sad. “I think you’re busy, so I’ll just hang up.”

– Oh, no! Frausch, my one and only beloved younger brother in the world! My brother was just joking. ha ha ha.

Gerius fell into my arms without even knowing he was caught in a trap.

“is it so? I took it seriously. How have you been, brother?”

– of course. Thanks to you, I have become very busy.

“Everyone is having some fun with Ramandium these days, right?”

– Yes, with the Lamandium you provided, the tower owner, elders, and high-ranking wizards are all at their wits’ end. I’m a wizard too, but I’m so immersed in it that I can’t understand it.

I got the hint.

“Brother, aren’t you doing research? “I heard that, in addition to magic, your skills are also excellent in alchemy.”

I threw the bait once again.

– I got something good this time.

“!!!”

Good things?

My eyes brightened.

“What is it?”

– The teacher made a bracelet with the 5-circle template magic engraved on it out of Lamandium.

“Magic bracelet?”

– I am skilled not only in alchemy but also in magic sculpting. They told me to carve it beautifully and I finished it today.

I had a feeling that this was it.

Template magic is temperature control magic.

“What are you trying to use it for? “Isn’t it neither an offensive nor a defensive spell, but temperature control magic?”

– This is a great item.

“Awesome?”

– The moment you shout the starter word in summer, the surroundings become cooler. Conversely, it gets warmer in winter. Additionally, due to the nature of Lamandium, it is resistant to most curses and dark magic. It is a luxury product whose price cannot be compared!

The voice of a confident older brother.

First of all, it is a luxury product.

I feel a little bad.

A magic tower that was completely converted into a few gold nuggets.

Ramandium is creating expensive added value.

This means that it has become a luxury product that has been magnified by at least several dozen times.

Enthusiasm was burning.

I want to become an 8th Circle Master and create a lot of expensive artifacts.

Artifact production is possible starting from Circle 5.

It’s at the level of a disposable magic missile.

Magic manufacturing begins in earnest from the 6th circle.

Considerable skill and know-how are required.

Starting from the 7th circle, permanent artifacts can be created.

When it comes to making magic tower liquor, it is a luxury product you can buy with confidence.

“If it was made by a brother with a great artistic sense, even a dwarf would cry, right?”

First, it was necessary to measure the quality of the product.

– I made it, but it’s an illusion. It is easy to use and safe.

“Is it that much?”

– The dwarf carved it to the point where it looked like an older brother. Because it uses magic, even dwarves cannot follow.

I’m getting a great feeling!

There is nothing better than this as a gift for my father-in-law.

“older brother. “Sell me that luxury item.”

– What, what?

“I will give you a generous price.”

– no! This item is a gift from my teacher. I can’t do whatever I want either.

My brother resists.

cute.

Do you think I’ll miss the item I’ve pinpointed?

I will have to pay interest on the lamandium I purchased at a bargain price.

“older brother. Do you think this little brother will take it for nothing?”

– No, that’s not it… … .

“I knew. I feel very sorry for this younger brother and older brother. This younger brother generously handed over Lamandium to the Magic Tower at a low price for his older brother… … .”

“… … .”

It stimulated Brother Gerius’ weak mentality.

A magic item of such importance.

“From now on, Lamandium and other demonic metals will have to be handed over to the Magic Empire for the right price.”

– Oh, a magic empire?

“Brother, spend a warm winter with luxury goods that you don’t need if you die. “I’m busy too, so I’ll stop now.”

– Jinah! No, Count Frausch! for a moment! Are there other demonic metals? Why hand it over to the Magic Empire? We’re not in that kind of relationship.

My brother’s voice is urgent.

Hehehe. It’s not for me.

“What is it?”

– Brother, why are you like this? By the way, are there really other demonic metals?

“There is a forest of monsters in my territory, right? “There were so many that I couldn’t bring them all.”

– Really? Can you bring that?

“When I went there a few days ago, there was a barrier. Looking at it roughly, it looks like it will disappear in about two years… … . It’s a shame. “Brother, didn’t you receive the report?”

There’s no way the Magic Tower branch wouldn’t report it.

– The fact that a barrier was placed in the forest of monsters was reported by the secret branch. But is it really? Is there that much Lamandium there?

Wow, wizard. There are so many doubts.

“I am Master. Do you think I would lie?”

– No, that’s not it… … .

Later, you can ask Behemoth to take away the kids’ weapons.

“Brother, have I ever lied? If you don’t want to give it, don’t. “You can get it if you urgently want it from the Magic Empire.”

For my part, I issued a strong ultimatum.

– I’ll hand it over! haha. What are you arguing about between us? Speak kindly to Master. I’ll teleport you right away. Do you have anything more to ask?

Finally, the white flag was waved.

“Thank you. “I will definitely repay this favor later.”

– It was between brothers. If you’re happy, I’m happy too.

Brother Gerius, you have grown a lot during this time.

My once pure soul has become a bit stained with the grime of the world.

“Brother, take care of yourself. See you next time.”

– Okay, let’s meet next time and clear things up.

Thus, the conversation to achieve the desired goal ended.

After a while.

Paaaat!

A magic bracelet that arrived with light.

“oh!!! Cleared land!!!”

***

“My lord. All preparations are complete. however… … .”

“why? “Is there a problem?”

“Sosin must leave with his lord, but due to the circumstances of the territory… … .”

“That’s it. The safety of the territory depends on you. “Never mind.”

“Please go with Jureon and Sir Eloharden.”

“With you two?”

“We have provided strict etiquette education. “I will help you without making any mistakes even in the imperial family.”

Sir Perorin, you are a very good knight.

The lord, who held the title of earl, took issue with going to the imperial court alone.

That is correct.

The Count’s royal business trip is no ordinary outing.

Lord Perorin is not only armed with great military power, but also has excellent aide ability.

He is always a satisfying character.

“I will do as the Lord wants.”

“thank you.”

“and maybe… … .”

“???”

“I have prepared a gift for your Majesty, so don’t even think about dangling gold.”

“!!!”

Sir Perorin flinches.

It seemed like just that.

The only valuable object remaining in the territory is gold.

“Well, I’m really glad.”

“Please take good care of Youngji while I’m away.”

“Do not worry! “I will protect you with my faith and life!”

I nodded at the driver’s firm answer.

I asked him to take care of the matter and headed to the Marquis.

Tak tak tak.

The route taken while being escorted by Jureon and Elo Harden.

The two country knights wearing the new plate mail are red-faced.

Although he is a knight, he is barely old enough to have served in the military in Korea.

“Jureon, Sir Eloharden.”

“yes! “My lord!”

“Be alert in the ecliptic.”

“yes?”

“There are monsters there who have trained charm magic with tails.”

“yes???”

Two surprising knights.

“Be careful, they are stealing the souls of knights who came from the countryside and offering them to the demons. “You have to be especially careful with pretty women.”

“Oh, I understand!”

I gave the two knights careful attention.

No matter how well Sir Perorin taught him, he is from a gangster village.

It is perfect for serving as a meal for women who learned the art of martial arts in the imperial capital.

“Do you understand?”

“Chu, chuuuuung!”

They blushed and answered.

I probably haven’t slept well for days.

A country soldier became a knight and accompanied him on business trips to Yeongju.

It is also an imperial capital filled with beauties.

It’s an opportunity you can’t help but dream of a beautiful romance with noble women.

“My lord. Do not worry. The minor gods only protect their lords… … .”

“no.”

“yes?”

“If you have the ability, bring me here. “I will have a grand wedding.”

While joking like that, the knights and the marquis arrived at the main castle.

“Meet the Count!”

The driver in charge of the gate recognized me.

“Please eat inside. Lord is waiting.”

It had already been notified when it entered the Marquis’ territory.

We arrived in front of the inner gate escorted by a knight.

“Thank you for coming. Eat inside. “I will prepare a dinner banquet.”

“That’s enough. “I’ll leave as soon as I’m ready.”

“All right.”

“Isn’t Rod attending?”

“I received orders from my father to accompany the Count.”

“Thank you, Marquis.”

After receiving a decent welcome, I headed to the basement of the castle.

A wizard appeared in front of the moving magic circle.

About 5 circles.

“My name is Wizard Euderon. “It is an honor to meet Count Frausch.”

“It’s true that there are excellent wizards in the Marquis Territory.”

“That’s too much praise. Enter the teleportation magic circle. “I have contacted the Imperial Demon Tower.”

The ecliptic magic circle cannot be used by just anyone.

If you enter without notice, you will die immediately.

The two knights and I stood in the magic circle.

I could sense the knights’ tense mood.

This will be your first time experiencing a magic circle that is born and moved.

“movement!!!”

Paaaat!

Light exploded along with the chant.

and.

“Count Frausch, Lord Elthodion, welcome to the imperial palace.”
