How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 37. The time for independence has come (4) It is not simply a metaphor or anything, but the truth.

“The reason why the Knights are stationed there in the first place is to prevent monsters that couldn’t withstand the severe cold from descending.”

The fact that it is a harsh land is notorious among the knights on duty at the front.

That's why even Seina couldn't survive a year.

Realizing the meaning, Asha's complexion darkened slightly.

“So Asha won’t follow?”

“Please don’t joke.”

Asha glared at him displeasedly.

A joke like that is tantamount to an insult to oneself.

“I was thinking of following Arel-nim, even in a worse place. Just...

um.

Sei knows what Asha is concerned about.

There's no way that Arel doesn't know what Seina didn't say.

Then, the question is, how is he going to accept this situation?

“Aren’t you worried?”

“yes?”

“If you look into Arell-nim’s eyes, it’s cancerous. That is the eye when something is wrong.”

In the first place, Arelman's atmosphere was different from the others.

Should I say I'm excited?

I was strangely excited.

It is not simply the reaction of a frustrated human being relegated to the far north.

“So I think maybe something will work out.”

“I guess so.”

Asha also agreed.

“...I'll have to send a letter to my hometown after a while.”

“Me too.”

The two female knights also began to draw a plan to leave in their heads.

? ? ?

Left alone in the office, I began to seriously plan my future.

Then what to do next

Get ready to leave, don't be in a hurry.

I had already thought about the treatment of the subordinates who would remain here.

It's because I have the will to take care of it so that no one regrets it.

But what I'm concerned about is another matter.

“Um... what about mom?”

Even a country that liked the news of independence can't help but worry about that.

I'm the only one leaving anyway.

My mom hasn't said anything special so far, but she seemed quite heartbroken when she heard that she would become independent in a year.

For the time being, I nailed it to the other ladies-in-waiting not to tell them what the territory was like.

All I care about is my mother's safety when left alone.

Of course, escorts are sufficient now, and no one will benefit from bothering her mother, so there won't be any problems right now.

After all, no one knows what the world is like.

Wasn't there a case of an attack on Kania's older sister when she was 10 years old?

The world is wide and fearless, and there are more madmen than that.

“Secure at least a means of contact...

The telecommunication tools sold at the Mage Tower are expensive, but there is nothing you can't buy.

After purchasing some communication tools, I will try to arrange them in my own way.

Let's create a communication port capable of ultra-long-distance communication.

Let's take a look at some safety measures just in case.

Just in case, get a teleportation magic circle or various magic scrolls in advance...

No, do you hire a wizard exclusively?

For the money to hire one mage, you could hire an entire small order of knights, but there's nothing you can't do.

Money is rotten enough now, and I plan to scrape in more in the future.

Let's decide carefully.

It is to carefully build an iron wall safety line.

Well, first of all... Let's prepare for moving.

I took out a map and spread it out on the desk.

It's pretty far too.

As for what kind of place this place was, I read the book after hearing what Seina said a while ago.

He couldn't say anything other than that Seina was cold.

A place where there really is nothing.

“So it fits just right.”

The harsh land is the perfect place for former pros to suck honey.

cancer don't

* * *

The first step in preparation for independence.

First, he summoned the wizards.

The Magic Tower introduced about five guys who could be trusted and entrusted with the work for a higher amount of money.

Waiting in a half-throbbing mood to see who would come, the wizard who came has a familiar face for some reason.

A fairly old white-haired wizard.

“My name is Payan.”

ah! I remembered!

“The wizard who examined me before?”

“You remember.”

I wondered why he looked familiar, but it was the old wizard who was dispatched to find out his mana aptitude when he was young.

Well, the Mage Tower side asked me to introduce a wizard with certain skills, but seeing that grandfather came, does that mean he has skills?

Are you feeling unwell?

That's also true, he's been fooled by my mana manipulation skills while trying to examine me in the past.

And he still doesn't know that.

“Then what about the other four?”

Other mages are quite young in age.

“They are my students.”

aha. Right.

It's like you ordered a set of master and disciple.

Well, if you think about the work you will be entrusted with from now on, it might be better to ask a team of masters and students who know each other's skills rather than strangers.

“What on earth do you need our help for?”

“hmm. I'm going to ask you first, but can you keep it a secret'?”

“I swear I won’t reveal it to anyone else.”

I'm assuming that it's natural.

It is said that when hiring a wizard, there are many cases in which they are entrusted with requests that are difficult to tell others.

If he was light-mouthed, relatively few people would want to entrust him with work, so it was only natural that a trusted wizard would definitely be a heavy-mouthed person.

“It’s nothing special, I want you to make something. As soon as possible.”

“A thing… is it? It's not going to be anything out of the ordinary.”

“huh. It is an artifact.”

When I said the word artifact, the old wizard put on a puzzled expression as if he had heard something completely unexpected.

“What the hell…

” “So it’s something like this.”

Don't worry.

I pulled out a blueprint from the safe in my office and showed it to him.

“Is this the blueprint for the artifact?”

“huh. All you have to do is make it this way. you can do it?”

“...Let's see where.”

You'll know once you see it.

Fei An carefully examined the artifact blueprint I had opened.

“This!'?”

I'm kind of surprised

what? People are anxious.....

Did I show you something wrong?

“Did the prince draw this or did you get it from someone?”

“Did I draw it?”

“But this... Why is this artifact so perplexed?

“I know something like this.”

“ah. huh. It will. It made sense because this is an improved artifact.”

Nothing else but an artifact that activates the brain that I had previously transferred to my older sister Kania.

It was improved by referring to the structure of the artifact, which is supposed to be a sage's necklace.

“Did you make it?”

hmm. Then you feel a little worse.

“no. It's a wizard I know who developed it... But even if the developer sees it, I won't be able to complain.”

He is sincerely admired.

I guess so.

According to the blueprint I showed you, this improved version of the necklace is about twice as effective as the existing one, and the production cost is 1/10 cheaper.

Low cost high quality.

It is a professional brand of this former life.

“So can you make it? Or is it impossible?”

“It is possible. Because the blueprint itself is already perfect. As long as we have the materials, we can do it on our ship as well.”

“Don’t worry about the cost of materials. I'll pay for that on my side again. ah. If you guys do the airlifting, I'll pay for that as well.”

There's nothing I can't get if I ask for the ingredients, but honestly, it's annoying.

Eight! Why don't you spend more money while being generous?

“Again, we have to keep this a secret.”

“But...

it seems that there is some hesitation about making an improved version of an artifact developed by someone else.

Whoops, that hesitation.

i will get rid of it

I put a bag of gold coins on the table.

“This is a secret money.”

Um...

and another bag of gold coins.

“And this is the cost of materials and the labor cost accordingly.”

“King... Prince!?”

Fei An's beard trembled at the sudden start of money shit.

not there yet.

It's still my turn.

“Yeah, I wrote a little bit. I'll give you a tip for future trades.”

As I continued to charge high prices, the wizards, including Fei An, collapsed on the spot.

“Anything please.”

After all, money is the best way to subdue people.

In particular, wizards are a job that secretly breaks a lot of money because of personal research.

That's why skilled wizards often receive requests secretly through the mediation of the Mage Tower or through personal contact methods.

I'm going to take this opportunity to make them virtually my exclusive possession, apart from the mass production of artifacts.

It's not about wasting money unnecessarily.

This is a kind of investment money to embrace them in the future.

what. For other matters, let's talk slowly.

“First of all, I want you to make it within this month, is that possible?”

I'll wave my jingle and bag of gold coins and ask for it.

“Leave it to me!”

After all, there is no such thing as money.

* * *

The first prototype of the improved version of the artifact came out in 10 days.

“Hey. Hmmm, I’ll check it out.”

After receiving the prototype, I looked around and checked it.

“How is it?”

Pei An asked cautiously.

Should I say that it is worth investing a lot of money?

The quality is pretty good.

I was a little worried about the completeness of the first prototype because the circuit was complicated.

As expected, Fei-an seems to be quite talented among mages.

I reproduced the mana circuit I drew.

I heard that he had a hard time too, but it seems that the disciples especially had a hard time.

I went around teleporting hard all over the kingdom to find materials.

As evidence of that, I feel very sorry for the disciples who are prostrated in front of me.

“I think it’s okay. That's enough. Then please mass-produce it like this.”

“How much is enough?”

I spread five fingers.

I could see that Peian's disciples were relieved.

oops.

Since when did you mistake it for five?

I smile brightly

“First, fifty, please.”

Quite simply, it ignited their hopes.

Fei'an's disciples have the face of despair itself, like actors in a horror movie.

I don't know anyway, so I paid a lot of money and asked for it.

If you feel unfair, go back to your previous life or at least once.

* * *

After entrusting the mass production of artifacts to the wizards, I immediately started the second task.

Unfortunately, this work cannot be done inside the palace.

I got into the carriage and went out of the palace.

“Arell? Where are you going?”

Asha, who accompanied the carriage, asked curiously.

It must be really rare that I go out, so I'm quite curious.
