It is quite widely known among the people that the Mage Tower Lord never panics – but those who have worked with or studied the Mage Tower Lord of Light within the Mage Tower would never agree with this statement.

The reason why the magic tower lord always acted confidently in front of others was to save his face as the person who sat at the highest position in the magic tower.

Nobles think that they are the only ones keeping face, but in reality, there were things about face that each profession had to keep.

Even if they were not necessarily magic tower lords, blacksmiths, guard captains, tailors, and barbers all had a vague idea of the image their respective professions should have, and that is why they often created that appearance even while hiding their personalities.

Well, still, the magic tower lord was the magic tower lord.

In general, the only thing that embarrassed the Mage Tower owner was the research topics he was researching, which meant that the average wizard found it difficult to even understand the basic theory, and usually other wizards would scoff or show off when they saw the research being done. Or, in most cases, people asked if they didn’t know this with that level of experience.

And because she was such a magic tower lord, when the magic tower lord ran to Isabelle and asked for help, she was startled.

Even though Isabelle was said to be nice, she was definitely not a ‘sociable’ person.

However, it wasn’t like I was acquainted with the owner of Matab. We knew each other and said hello to each other when we passed by, but I never thought that the owner of Matap would come running to me and ask for something.

“Please, just one thing.”

The magic tower owner, who was speaking out of breath as he opened the door to Isabelle’s laboratory, looked like he was in a hurry.

“What’s going on… … ?”

Isabelle said as she quickly put down the scissors she was holding next to the bonsai. You can do the pruning later.

Branches grow again even if they are cut incorrectly, but human fingers do not grow again if they are cut off. After almost cutting off her finger when someone suddenly spoke to her while she was pruning last time, Isabelle puts down the scissors when talking to someone. I developed a habit.

“Kuhm.”

After belatedly realizing that he looked very disheveled in front of someone he rarely talked to, Oflight coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said,

“Actually, I have been watching you for quite a long time.”

He said that in a solemn voice.

Of course, his appearance did not look solemn at all. It seemed like he was trying to build up his status by growing his hair and beard like the retired former Master of the Horse Tower, but unfortunately, the Master’s beard did not grow in such a stylish shape. It was too sparse, and only a small amount was grown. It just looks messy.

In addition, he cut his hair to a length ‘good for working out’ because it was cumbersome after growing it out, and all the wizards around him were curious about how he would show off his dignity with a hairstyle like that.

He looked more like an adolescent than a wizard who had studied magic for a long time.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t suit his handsome face, but at least it can be said that he has fallen very far from his original purpose.

“You have done more work in plant research than anyone else. Perhaps with a few more years of research, you will be able to drastically improve the kingdom’s food problem.”

“Ah, yes… … That’s the purpose, but… … .”

I don’t remember showing any interest in it all this time… … ?

“Also, I have found a person who can be very helpful to your research.”

“Are you a talented person who can help?”

Isabelle asked blankly, not understanding how the situation was going.

“Do you know about the legend of the Druids?”

“… … I’ve read a lot of literature about the druids born in the Del Kish region. But I heard that most of those druids didn’t have much interest in going outside of Del Kish. ”

“But there is a druid who has come out of Gdelkisi now.”

“… … .”

Isabelle seemed to have some idea of what the owner of the Tower of Magic wanted to talk about.

“Aren’t you asking me to have a conversation with the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke of Grattonmount, one of the greatest nobles in my country?”

“There is no need to talk to the Grand Princess. Druids are from Delkish.”

“But your job is to protect the Grand Princess.”

Isabelle held back her sigh.

“Let me write your introduction.”

“If this were to be an introduction, the Lord of the Magic Tower would have already been talking to him in person.”

“… … .”

also.

I heard a rumor from another wizard.

A young lady who is displaying the power of a druid is staying in the royal capital, and no matter how many times the Mage Tower owner tries to talk to her, she stubbornly refuses to talk.

“Can I do what the Tower Lord couldn’t do?”

“If that’s the case, there’s no problem”

The Magic Tower lord stopped talking for a moment, and then,

It might be “.”

It was like that.

“… … On what basis?”

“After spending some time observing, I found that Lady Delkisi did not seem to have much objection to women talking to her.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … Is that the only one?”

“… … .”

“I refuse.”

“Ah, why!?”

“The person you need to talk to is a grand princess, right? Of course, they may not have wizards as outstanding as the wizards gathered at the Magic Tower, but it is a family that is likely to have wizards who can be considered excellent. It is a territory with a gold mine. It’s from a family that has a

“Uh… … ”

“Because of the lack of farmland compared to the size of the territory and the number of people, they rely mostly on hunting for food, and because hunting is not enough, they have to work hard to buy grain from outside, right? Wouldn’t it be strange if they coveted the contents of my research? ?”

“I understand that your research is aimed at making food abundant for the people in those areas?”

“That and this are different! I plan on selling magic for money! I don’t want it taken away before it’s complete!”

“Anyway, I don’t think the Grand Duke’s family would do such a barbaric thing.”

“It won’t be like that in the Grand Duke’s family! Because Delkish is there! I heard that the ‘Druid Lady’s’ brother is in the royal capital right now?”

“… … .”

“Look at that! It’s related, too!? It’s related to that person, so you’re trying to pass it on to me, right?”

“… … No, wait a minute. Listen. ”

“Nothing to listen to.”

“Isabel, as you said, the Archduke’s family has a lot of money, and the military also competes for ranking in the country’s territory. But, to put it on the other hand, they are the ones who will buy your magic at the most expensive price.”

“… … That’s true, but.”

“What kind of problem could there possibly be? All I want is to talk and convince the druid lady to cooperate. If you are successful in this task, the Tower will provide ample support for your research. .Especially in areas where I can directly help, I will do so.”

“… … .”

Isabelle closed her eyes for a moment and was lost in thought.

“Really, you will support me if I succeed?”

“I promise on the honor of the Magic Tower Lord.”

“… … Okay, but if the other person tries to force information from me or steal my research work, I will stop right away.”

“You can understand that much, so rest assured.”

But Isabelle could not believe the smile of the Magic Tower Lord.

*

hmm.

A wizard who studies plants.

Is there any information I can take away? Recently, the population has been increasing, but there is no food produced on its own, so the Great Duke has been very worried. If I get information from this person, maybe I can put it to good use.

… … Well, I guess I just need to take some time and think about it.

There were far more pressing matters now.

“So, you came because you wanted to interview Elsie.”

“Ah, yes!”

The female wizard, who identified herself as Isabelle, was wearing a magic tower robe.

I even had a letter of introduction written by the Magic Tower owner himself, so there is no room for doubt. All documents issued by the Magic Tower are magically processed, so they are noticeable at a glance. If you can forge this, you must have a wizard with magic skills higher than the Magic Tower. ,If there had been a wizard like that in the first place, the Magic Tower would not have stayed still. He would have been recruited somehow.

“… … Doesn’t the Lord of the Tower come in person?”

“I am also in charge of plant research within the Magic Tower. It seems that he thought I was suitable to bring out Lady Amadelkisi’s hidden abilities.”

Otherwise, he might have figured something out by looking at us.

For example, he quickly becomes friends with women, but keeps his distance from men.

… … Elsie has never shown much interest in the crown prince, the crown prince, or the lord of the magic tower.

Although the ideal type was presented very specifically, it was left as an option that could be chosen as the next best option in the worst situation.

Of course, no one knows yet whether Elsie is capable of liking women sexually. However, she may have decided that just based on our daily conversations with Diane and Adele.

If I had known that I liked Elsie, would I have sent her?

I narrowed my eyes.

Isabelle, who was fidgeting, looked older than I am now. If we were to be honest, I should say that she was at an age when the charm of an adult woman was almost gone.

Her body was also good. She could be seen right through the loose robe.

There are already a lot of girls around Elsie. If the number increases… … .

“Ha.”

What am I thinking?

I am still the person who is closest to Elsie. I am also the person with whom she has the most physical contact.

On the contrary, if you put too much pressure, your image may worsen.

“Okay. Let’s listen to Elsie’s thoughts first, and then make a decision.”

“Thank you!”

Isabelle shouted happily at my words.
