Chapter 501. Work of the tower master (3) + rest, and omen (1) The money issue was mentioned.
The elders were gradually at a loss for words about the urgent matter.
Money is important.
It is so important that it cannot be refuted otherwise.
“If we make it public, we will also hold events for the general public. Shouldn’t we also consider the benefits of that?”
Demonstrations of magic, and sales of magic tools open to the general public.
“We are planning to open a new window exclusively for official requests at the Mage Tower.”
Existing mage towers only received requests from some nobles or royal castles.
For ordinary people to hire a wizard, the procedure was complicated.
Either through the side of the lord.
Or borrowing the power of wizards from the Mage Tower.
However, D.A. put forward a proposal to receive a request from the general public right away.
“Are you going into business?”
The elders misunderstood the meaning and frowned.
Dia shook her head.
“It’s just because I think the people also have a right to enjoy the boon of magic.”
Dia insisted.
and.
“Also, the right to enchantment tools… and other things to make things transparent.”
For her, this time, he quietly turned around and compared it.
That’s enough for you to understand.
It doesn’t just mean creating a window.
In other words, direct management by the Mage Tower means that the Mage Tower can officially obtain the benefits as well.
At least in the field of gain, it will be more open than before.
“…are you okay?”
“It is not entirely unprecedented.
The Magic Tower belonging to the Kingdom of Damaniel is already making profits through regular events.”
It’s not that I’m trying to do something that others haven’t done before.
It is to refer to the times and move forward in a better way.
“But for that…
” “Yes. We need to be free from the excessive control we have now.”
The present Mage’s Tower requires strict procedures even to send a disciple outside.
Even if the master refuses, it cannot come out easily.
“Disciples can receive requests from outside themselves. Moreover, if there is sufficient justification, we will change it so that we can freely see and study the world.”
Of course, the responsibility will be taken by the individual and will be asked more strictly.
“…But then.”
“Security…”
“What are you going to do in case something unfortunate happens?”
The elders were still not convinced.
Worried about the disaster that might happen, I let out a worried sigh.
It also doesn’t go over.
Dia calmly grasped the situation.
Yes, they have to come up with this to convince them.
Dia tried to use her last means of persuasion.
“Can’t we see the good points?”
“A good thing?”
“If there is a profit, there will be enough flexible funds outside of the regular budget.”
Dia just said this.
There’s no way they don’t know what she’s trying to say.
Flexibility outside the official budget.
Commonly speaking, it is money that eats away.
And, as expected, they glared at it.
This place, which had only made sounds of pain, suddenly became suddenly quiet.
I could hear the sound of their heads rolling.
It is not that Dia was ignorant of the inner thoughts of the elders.
But there is no need to point it out now.
that’s later
Because the purpose now is to appease those old people.
It’s just bait anyway.
That’s the way Dia saw Arel’s way and imitated it.
Arel had previously given advice as if passing by.
‘When persuading those who know nothing but desire, sometimes it’s more effective to blind them with that greed than to push them with force and power.’
say.
“…What would you like to do?”
“Oh. hmm! First of all… I think we need to discuss it some more.”
Little by little, the opinions of the elders change.
Reluctantly, they began to come forward as if they could discuss the matter a little more.
In reality, the benefits that will fall right in front of your eyes are expected.
It doesn’t matter.
‘You can do whatever you want.’
Anyway, that will be sorted out someday.
Of course, as long as it catches her eye.
At least it’s going to pretend to be that flexible.
And when they know the result.
It will be after everything has already changed as she wishes.
Ernesia Magic Tower’s front opening.
Of course, if you call it open, just release the barrier that was hiding the existence of that place.
The window to receive requests from ordinary people officially opens at the Magic Tower.
In addition, it is only to the extent that permission for visits is granted depending on the time.
It was nothing short of shocking to those who were familiar with the closed nature of the Magic Tower.
People who didn’t know about it were all taken by surprise when the magic tower suddenly appeared.
“Look at that!”
“What is that?”
“…Isn’t that a huge tower?”
A wasteland located in the eastern and western part of Ernesia Kingdom.
Originally, there was a sudden shudder and change in the landscape of what was said to be one of the few useless lands in the kingdom where not a single blade of grass grows.
Eventually, when he heard that the true identity of that tower was the magic tower, he looked at it with a look of curiosity from fear.
Most of the people showed favorable reactions and expectations when they heard that the place would be opened to the general public in the near future.
As a result, this choice serves as an opportunity to properly disclose magic technology to the general public in the not-too-distant future and to enjoy its benefits, instilling awareness that magic is convenient rather than fearful to the general public.
Also, will the name of the mage tower master who promoted the reorganization become widely known?
It has not yet arrived, but it is in the not-too-distant future.
But nobody knows yet.
That’s it.
Concerned secretly, Dia secretly listened to information about the current state of the Magic Tower.
‘There seems to be no problem.’
She seemed to be doing pretty well.
change several things.
Occasionally there are conflicts, but unexpectedly, they seem to be working well without resolving them by force.
Helmin seemed to have completely given up on management.
I heard that he heard cheers that day after retirement or something.
It’s a rumor anyway.
Well, there was no sign that he did anything after he shut himself up while talking about his injury.
Maybe I’m just playing with my hands off work.
Second to the injury, was it difficult?
I also sympathize a little.
In any case, Dia seemed to be doing a great job as the tower owner without any problems afterwards.
“It’s a bit bittersweet feeling.”
I closed the magic book I was reading to kill time and thought about it quietly.
At first, I just hired a wizard because the manor needed a wizard.
And get in my eyes and give a teaching.
sometimes play
….sometimes playing. play anyway
How much time has passed
And the owner of the mage tower?
Yes, you have developed wonderfully.
I ended my recollection with a bit of bittersweet feeling.
….It is an illusion if there is only a strangely recalled memory.
It’s because it’s a recollection by my subjective.
And…
“Arell-nim? What are you talking about?”
As if recalling an empty seat, Dia looks at me curiously from behind as I close my eyes and say nonsense.
Yes.
Today Dia is staying at our house in my castle.
“Let’s set the mood a little.”
I smiled bitterly when I saw her come to my office today as usual.
“The owner of the Magic Tower is working from home… No, in this case, is it two jobs?”
As I said before, Dia didn’t stop working in my estate.
It has been reduced a little, but nothing has changed from before.
“For most tasks, you can give instructions here. And you can always go and fix it if you need to. So no problem.”
“…Is that so?”
“That’s right.”
Dia replied casually.
Somehow, despite taking on the duties of the head of the tower, there are still more days to be here.
Well, as she said, if it’s Topju’s job, most of them give orders, so it doesn’t matter.
….I bet he didn’t learn how to do that by watching me.
Then I want to wish the mages of the Mage Tower peace.
By the way, is the mage tower owner a side job or a bonus… Is it that or just helping?
“What are you all saying?”
Jurani, the magic tower who commutes outside for the first time in history.
Was that something they would accept in their heads?
“Surprisingly, no one complained. Rather, I felt like I took it for granted.”
….What do they understand?
It seems to be handling the work properly, so there is no corner for me to say anything.
“I won’t say anything unless you have a problem.”
It’s better for me to be on this side if possible, so there’s no other corner to complain about.
With Dia quietly watching me.
I suddenly remembered one thing and changed the subject.
“Come to think of it. I asked you last time too.”
“yes? What do you mean?”
“Why did you accept the offer after all?”
It’s really embarrassing for me to ask after recommending ‘you become a mage master!’ like Helmin, but in the end, it was her who finally accepted it.
Again, I was still wondering why.
Besides, even though Dia doesn’t show it like that, she doesn’t really like the Mage Tower very much.
huh? Now that it’s over, teach me!
“It’s nothing, but.”
“Because it’s okay. Or will you not be able to tell?”
If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do about it.
However, Dia shook her head lightly as if that wasn’t the case, hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth again.
However, unlike usual, he seemed a bit embarrassed to speak.
“Actually… just like Arel-nim changed this place. I also wanted to change that place. …. That’s all.”
“…Ah, that’s right.”
I listened to it blankly and sighed for a moment.
Like me anyway?
I feel embarrassed just thinking about it again.
Rest and omen (1)
Watching Dia establish her position as the owner of the mage tower, I judged the timing appropriately.
Then one morning in the morning.
I climbed to the top of the castle secretly and looked around.
“A lot has changed.”
At first, the place where there was only pure white snow has now become a huge city.
Except for some natural areas, it is hard to find traces of the cold lands of the past.
It’s not just territory.
Furthermore, the lifestyle of the entire kingdom would have changed.
For example, like that train that just left Fahilia.
And the same is true of my personal living environment now.
I am also twenty-two this year.
It was a little later than planned, but the hardening of a comfortable life like honey was almost going in.
all that’s left now
That’s the only thing that gets in the way.
Well, it won’t be long before that gets sorted out.
Now it’s just waiting for the right time.
The time has not yet come.
“Still, the timing is getting close.”
I muttered as I stared at the other side where the sun had not risen yet.
FYI, there is nothing over there.
I’m just pretending to look at it with a feeling of form.
yes decided
I gazed out leisurely and half-impulsively came up with a plan, then when the sun rises, let’s tell everyone.
