“Indeed…”

The wizards nodded one by one as if his speech had understood them.

“It is true that no matter how talented a person is, if he is a traitor, it is better than not hiring him…”

“Sure… it looks better than the wizard’s contract, which can damage mana…”

“Is that so…”

Looking at the woman tilting her head as if something was uncomfortable, he took out several documents.

“Ah. I forgot, but this is everything in the contract.”

The wizards’ eyes changed.

“What…?!”

“That’s right, it’s a position that can be hired with priority in the duke house, but there are restrictions. Well, even if it’s late, wouldn’t there be an empty seat if I wait about 5 years? Decide on your own.”

As if there was ever a time when I hesitated.

“I want to sign.”

The woman who looked uncomfortable was the first to jump out.

“Hmm. Sharin. Yes, lady first.”

“Me! I’m next!”

“Me, me too.”

He smiled as he watched the wizards signing their names one by one. There was no shortage of documents.

After a while.

“Master, I have sent it now.”

“Thank you for your hard work, I will report it to the young lady right away.”

The moment he finished communicating after sending the contract.

smart.

“Are you okay for a moment?”

The magic tower lord came to visit.

“Hmm. Come to think of it, you’re from the West?”

This is information that most people do not know, but the eyes and ears of the Magic Tower owner were everywhere except for some personal spaces. The magic tower owner realized the situation and came to visit him.

“Yes, Top Lord. My hometown was an area with a clear view of Arjein Castle. There are also excellent educational institutions that gather and teach talented children. Thanks to that, I was able to have a full-fledged childhood.”

He took out numerous contracts without any intention of explaining them away.

There were dozens of contracts that had not yet been signed.

“Keuung. This isn’t the first time a noble family has tried to steal the magic tower’s wizards… This is so…”

The magic tower lord grabbed his head.

A wizard belonging to the Magic Tower can live without any shortage for the rest of his life with that alone. This was not the first time a noble had offered good conditions to recruit those who lacked anything, but it was the first time that so many wizards had defected.

‘knowledge. It was such a sweet word for the new magic formula wizards.’

“Hehe. This too is the trend of the times. Is it something that can’t be helped… The princess’s formula was that groundbreaking… Moreover… It’s a secret magic… It’s a higher formula than this… Unless I’m a magic tower master… Ugh.”

He laughed and searched in his arms at the Magic Tower’s unexpected reaction.

“Haha. This is so…”

The magic tower owner looked at him in confusion at his reaction.

“Sorry, I laughed without thinking.”

He held out a letter with a seal on it.

“Is this…? no way. Are you a princess?”

“That’s right. The tower owner’s reaction was so much as the princess had expected that I found myself laughing.”

Light flickers on the magic tower’s fingers. I used my mana to open the letter like a paper knife.

[Hello, how are you? If you’re reading this letter, you’re probably talking to Delaine. Let’s get straight to the point.]

[I want the magic tower. Of course, the Magic Tower Lord who raised the status of the Magic Tower to that point. If you are interested in joining the Duke family, please contact us through him.]

The magic tower owner shows a solemn expression, suppressing the corners of his mouth that are about to loosen at the sight of the round and cute handwriting.

Unlike the handwriting, the contents of the letter were never easy to see.

‘I want to place the Magic Tower under the dukedom.’ That alone could be enough to put the Empire at risk.

“Delaine…? Is that your real name?”

“Yes, you are worried.”

“Sigh… I can hear the words of my ancestors asking me to take good care of the Magic Tower… It’s really unfortunate…”

“I can’t help but think I’ll end up using this.”

Delaine rummaged around in her arms.

‘If possible, never! You must never use that, understand?!’

I felt like I could hear the princess’s cries in my ears.

Did the Master know that this would happen? ?

“That… . Is it a magic item?”

“That’s right, it’s a magic pouch that reduces not only capacity but also weight. It’s something the princess made.”

“Keuheung… .”

As if he was disappointed, he regained his appetite and handed out ‘a book of grimoires’ and a crystal ball to the magic tower lord.

“This?”

The beads began to sparkle and a sound began to be heard.

“Do I have to do this? Anyway, isn’t this right? There’s no way something like this would work!?”

“No, lady! This is a special move that will 100% work. It works unconditionally, don’t you trust me?”

One man and one woman. It was something that a delicate voice that could be called a girl was complaining.

“No, even so… Wait a minute, aren’t you sure this is being recorded?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

“Ha. My situation… .”

The girl’s voice was familiar to the magic tower owner.

The image of a girl speaking confidently without the slightest bit of intimidation came to mind on a podium in front of many people.

However, the recorded sound was different from that time, a voice full of shyness and charm.

At “. hmm. Magic tower owner. Tapju’s grandfather… can you do me a favor? Please be on my side… . Grandpa Topju. Please… .”

With a small voice as if crawling away, the light of the bead disappeared.

“Puhahaha…”

He held out a book to the magic tower owner, who was laughing like he was going to burst out laughing.

“This is a grimoire with a higher formula than the one the princess revealed last time. He told me to listen to the tower owner’s answer and tell him, but looking at his expression, I think it’s okay to give it to him.”

“I look forward to meeting you again, princess.”

The Magic Tower, the Wizard’s Tower, and the Tower of Truth. There are many different words, but it is commonly called the magic tower.

Although it is located in the imperial territory, it has made many transactions with other countries, and even throughout its long history, no one has ever taken possession of the Magic Tower intact.

Such a wizard’s tower. Peacock family. To be exact, the princess of the empire obtained it.

This incident will be discussed for a long time in history.

* * *

Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.

Four steady knocks.

“You visit often these days, Count Hermann.”

I looked up from looking at the documents.

“Lady Marian. Does this old man bother you? I’ve taken care of a mountain of work, but now it’s useless… .”

“It can’t be.”

He just seemed a little annoyed, but I smiled awkwardly.

“Well, enough of the jokes, there are a lot of family wizards these days.”

“The more you manipulate a wizard, the more money he makes.”

A wizard was an all-purpose item. Even if you were in the transportation business, preservation business, or even the restaurant business, it would be difficult without a wizard.

People of this era said they were highly skilled people, but I don’t think they would have thought of using them in such a place.

As there was a lot of business involved, no matter how many agents I hired, the amount of work assigned to me was still considerable.

Money was being copied to the extent that we literally had no idea how much was coming in.

“Well, the vassals are very happy… but the status of the dukedom is increasing day by day. There are already more than half of the vassals who want you to become the head of the family, and Lady Maria doesn’t seem interested in becoming the head of the family either.”

“I probably told you not to say that, but the head of the household is your older sister.”

“Keu…”

I still feel like I have a lot of work to do, so let’s go… ! I want to enjoy the unemployed life while spending all the money I earn… .

smart.

The door opened with a light knock.

“People came from the Magic Tower again?”

Seria glances at the Count and approaches him. Recently, he seemed to be tired of being unemployed and was claiming to be my aide.

“Hmm.”

“There’s no need to meet him, right?”

“No… But since they are people who came to see me, I have to see them first…”

I glanced at the Count. The way he leisurely tilts his teacup while listening to everything seems like he will be hanging out in the office for a while.

“Well… First, guide them as usual, and tell them that once they complete 40 hours of work per week, they can do the rest freely, um. And if you want to meet me…”

“It’s okay, I’ll take care of it. You can just follow the manual, right? Marian, get some rest too.”

Seria speaks with confidence.

“Then I will ask you a favor.”

Since I looked at the documents in the morning… . About 6 hours have passed.

It is true that work has become easier because there are many people helping.

‘Should we hire more aides?’

* * *

It wasn’t difficult to find an aide. This is because there were more applicants than expected.

I called the last person, feeling like an interviewer.

“Next person comes in.”

A beautiful woman with wavy blue hair came in.

“Sarah. No last name, are you a commoner?”

I looked over the documents and called out to her.

“That’s right!”

He looked very nervous, so I smiled and offered him a seat.

“Sit.”

I was able to figure it out after just a short question and answer.

I’m not interested in money.

“Do you like magic that much?”

“Yes!”

He was a 6th circle master at the young age of 28, and since he was taken from the Magic Tower, it would have been a waste to use him as an aide.

“Are you really okay?”

“Yes! I just have one wish!”

“Wish?”

My head tilted slightly.

“Can I shake your hand?”

Sarah’s reaction made me chuckle.

“That’s about it.”

When I laughed, her face turned red.

It was a reaction I had felt several times.

Now I understand.

To me, it was a simple magic book, but to them, it felt like a handshake event with a best-selling author.

“Please take care of me, Sara.”

“Yes, lady!”

Left alone, I leaned deeply against the backrest.

Most wizards were smart, and among them, the slaves… no, those who made magical contracts were clearly proven personnel.

Although they promised high salaries, the amount they earned was hundreds of times more than that.

The ‘Magic Book’ problem collection I produced was also priced quite high, but since most people who wanted it were wizards or nobles, there was no problem.

Additionally, the wizards I hired created a variety of magic tools that made them look like dwarves with just a few materials.

It was a satisfactory result as it only provided ideas, which increased my free time.
