Episode 19 – Performance Evaluation –
The results of the interrogation concluded that this was instigated by a huge cartel involving the imperial family, the Federation, the Grand Duchy, the Holy Emperor, the Heavenly Gods, the Evil Gods, the Demons, and the religious sects.
Of course, I was sure it was a frog, and I don’t know what Theseus did to him, but I decided to move on.
I didn’t dirty my hands anyway. One day, that guy will become a duke too, and he may have to deal with some dirty work, so think of it as a rehearsal.
After handling all the cases, we were walking down the road in the island we arrived at after boarding the airship.
Elijah and Sylvia came together, but I sent them first because I was afraid they would be included in the f*cking romance manga signal.
Also, since Dragon Heart is an important matter, the less known it is, the better.
Because of secrecy, the destination was not told to Theseus.
Theseus asked about the destination.
“So which magic tower are you going to?”
“Golden Horse Tower. Because it is the only magic tower belonging to the empire. “It would be nice to create a relationship later.”
“The owner of the Golden Horse Tower was a member of the royal family, right?”
“Uh.”
Of course, relationships are important, but the biggest reason is money.
The Golden Horse Pagoda receives open support from the imperial family as only people close to the imperial family, members of the royal family, or related to the royal family can serve as owners.
First of all, since it is imperial funds, we cannot spend it abundantly.
It cannot be denied that it is the place with the best financial resources among the magic towers.
If you rent a Dragon Heart to Geumma Tower, which has the most funds, it will make money on its own.
“I heard those two were a bit disappointed.”
“You probably wanted to play in the system. But then the words come out clearly. After applying for field experience learning, the four of us came to the island to have fun. I don’t know, but you have a fiancee, so it’s over. “I might get caught with Dragon Heart too.”
“I know. It wasn’t really an issue. But you trust that contract magic, right?”
“Uh. It’s the highest level of contract magic on the same level as the one cast on me. “A contract that restricts even control of one’s body in the event of non-fulfillment of the contract.”
Since the dragon hunting should not be revealed right away, it was unfortunate that we had no choice but to set restrictions (using their own money) and then release the officials.
Still, I am satisfied with this.
Anyway, in politics, people who were enemies sometimes become allies. He must not make many enemies unnecessarily.
There were already huge restrictions placed on me, like I couldn’t leave the academy.
“Hey. But I’ve been curious about it for a while… “How do you repair that arm?”
Theseus asked about my arm, which had recovered and was functioning properly.
“Even if my arm turns to mush, I know that it can be easily healed if I take what used to be my arm… “Didn’t your arm turn into ashes and crumble?”
He added an explanation.
I also wondered what I would do when my arm disappeared after using the awakening device for the first time.
This is because recovery was not possible using normal methods.
It would be possible to pour in divine power.
That amount of money was a waste.
I found a way, though.
“You just need to apply a little black magic.”
“Black magic? Are you physically okay? You couldn’t have used someone else’s body, right? Was that someone else’s body at that time? “They say it’s illegal and you do it with your own body.”
“It’s my body. “In the world, the level of benefit and difficulty are not proportional.”
“What does that mean?”
“I can’t tell you this because you’ll make fun of me. “Before, on your birthday, you hid in the cake and made fun of me when you saw my bare face on the cake.”
“Isn’t that your fault for having the idiotic idea of hiding in a birthday cake? And what on earth is this technology that you say that about?”
Theseus kept asking, but I had no intention of answering.
I said this as a joke, but if you find out what I did to find this method.
This guy will definitely do something annoying.
Even though I said I was fine.
So I quickly changed the topic to somewhere else.
“First of all, why did we stop? Keep walking. What’s the problem.”
“I think the problem is that you look at these clothes and think there is no problem.”
“Of course I wore it to win an award. My eyes are normal. Just go. “Don’t do anything strange in the alley.”
Since I had to hide my identity anyway, I headed to the Magic Tower while openly looking suspicious.
I thought the disguise was good when I saw a black woman passing by swearing at us.
However, Theseus still seemed dissatisfied.
“If a bastard wearing a hero jumpsuit walks around, of course he’ll swear.”
What we wore was a hero jjoljjol like something from Rider.
I ended up wearing it because it looked less suspicious among clothes that covered my entire body and was cheap.
I am red, and Theseus is blue.
I tried to put pink on it, but it failed because it refused.
You said it was the closest color to red, the symbol of passion.
“This is even more suspicious, you crazy bastard.”
“No, look. [A person wearing a trench coat and a fedora, moving in an awkward posture as if he/she is hiding something in his/her arms, walking through the alleys while avoiding the gaze of others, and his/her clothes are a little tattered] And [Just a hero costume]. “Which of the two is more suspicious?”
“Don’t you think there’s something unreasonable about the length of the sentence?”
It doesn’t work either.
Would it be correct to say that I wore the hero costume because I wanted to see him doing the damn thing?
I guess I should just stay still.
It’s okay for me because I don’t suffer mental damage from things like this.
“Anyway, I walked and arrived. “At the Magic Tower.”
The imperial palace, the center of the archipelago, and a tall tower located about 100 to 200 meters away.
It was a bright place that looked more like a building than a tower.
The only magic tower that belongs to the empire. If the academy creates junior wizards, this is where the wizards who graduated from there go.
We have stepped into that area.
“Hello. “What brought you to visit our Golden Horse Tower?”
As we entered the magic tower, we were greeted by a wizard who greeted us with the kindness that would be welcomed at any directly managed store in the modern era.
I was so thankful for the kindness that they showed even when they saw our faces.
The inside of the Magic Tower was surprisingly clean.
I thought of a place like a narrow trench made of bricks with a moldy atmosphere.
I didn’t really want to waste time for no reason, so I got straight to the point.
“I came here to lend you something. “There are a lot of good items.”
“Unfortunately, commercial activities are prohibited at our Geumma Tower. If you want to make a transaction, go through an official channel… “
The wizard rejected us.
I guess I’m dressed a little suspiciously.
But there was no need to go back.
“Even after seeing this?”
There is no need to promote the real thing. People who know the value of everything will negotiate the price.
He just took out the dragon heart that was wrapped in a swaddle and showed it to me.
This is enough.
“!!!”
Just by looking at it, a wizard sensed that it was no ordinary object.
Considering that he will be in charge of serving customers, he may not be a very high-ranking wizard.
Still, he is a person who successfully graduated from the academy. Of course I will find out the value of this item.
“I will contact the person in charge in a moment and come back.”
Immediately after saying those words, the wizard twitched his mouth while fiddling with the magic crystal for communication.
There was a sense of urgency, as if we were having a great conversation.
Not long after the light of the Mercury Orb faded.
The sound of someone running at very high speed was heard from upstairs.
A wizard running around looking disheveled and not properly dressed. I could see how urgent it was from that look.
“It doesn’t make sense… ! Really!”
The wizard looked thrilled when he saw the black dragon’s dragon heart that I placed in front of him.
Then, perhaps recognizing his rudeness, he cleared his throat and spoke to us.
“Hello. My name is Eric, and I am the vice-pagoda owner of Geumma Pagoda. “The owner is currently on a business trip somewhere else, so I came here on behalf of the owner.”
“Nice to meet you. We cannot reveal your identity for some reason. “Please understand.”
“It didn’t matter. Anyway, I haven’t had any plans to hunt dragons in the empire or other countries recently, so it won’t be a dragon heart from a regular raid.
So, to get to the point… “Could you please lend me this dragon heart?”
And then the negotiations begin immediately. As soon as they confirm that it is genuine, they are ready to pay a high amount of money.
Dragons have a low reproductive capacity, so their population is small, and they sometimes break down dragon hearts to eat them.
It is difficult to obtain high quality hatchlings, which are strong but weak, due to the low quality of dragon hearts.
Some people attempted to breed them, but domestication failed because they had to wait hundreds of years to become Jackie Chan.
Of course, it is questionable whether intelligent beings can be domesticated.
The high-quality dragon hearts obtained in this way must be shared among dozens of magic towers.
There are even cases where the state is targeting them, individuals are transplanting them, and there are cases where collectors turn on their eyes to collect them.
The damaged Dragon Heart is the only Dragon Heart that even possesses the Golden Horse Tower, which is supported by the imperial family.
Among the magic towers, the only one that has a dragon heart is the Magic Tower of the Republic of Magic.
“For now, I think 100 million baht per month will be enough.”
“Is that fixed?”
“Let’s pay that price for a year and see what happens in the future.”
“What… We don’t mind if you rent it at this price. So how far can we go to dismantle the magic hanging here?”
As expected. By the time you get to the Buddha Tower, you will also know that there is a magic spell on this heart.
Even if there is no magic, the magic towers compete with each other, so they will cast all sorts of magic on their own (for money).
“Of course, destruction and transplantation are impossible. I will give authority to the pagoda owner and vice-pagoda owner regarding the use and application of magical power. “If I transfer the authority using quite expensive magic, the tower owner and vice tower owner can also be granted lower authority.”
“It’s definitely good magic. Thank you So how do you pay? ?”
“Last day of every month. Or, I will come visit you on the last weekend.”
“I understand. Then, please take care of yourselves.”
After all negotiations were over, Magic Tower took out contract magic.
They say contract magic is expensive, but that’s just the cost of calling a wizard.
Contract magic is a daily routine in the magic tower where wizards exist.
“Then please come in bye.”
After completing all procedures. With 100 million baht in hand, Theseus and I headed to the airship settlement.
I also didn’t forget to change Jjoljjol into regular clothes.
‘It’s perfect.’
The first conquest was completed almost perfectly.

“This is real… !”
The upper floor of Geumma Tower. Butapju, who had carried the Dragon Heart very carefully, was feeling a kind of joy as he looked at the brilliant light.
He was given an opportunity that had never been given to him. However, that is why it was such a touching scene.
‘After losing it at the auction, I thought I would never see it again.’
Butapju could not hide his joy at coming back under such good conditions.
However, the surrounding wizards, who still had no sense of reality, asked the head of the floating tower.
“Lord Butap. “Is it really Dragon Heart?”
Butapju answered immediately.
“So, I guess 100 million baht was spent without the tower owner’s permission? It is unclear how it was obtained, but this alone is something that cannot be ignored!
It’s like spending the royal family’s money, but if you can get limited use of Dragon Heart with 100 million baht a month, it’s a surplus business!”
Rare materials such as dragon hearts are expensive.
Even if you usually do it that way, you can’t get it because there isn’t enough stock.
However, thanks to heaven’s help, we were able to achieve the results in the end.
That is why Bhutapju expressed his gratitude to God for the first time.
Wizards usually do not follow gods well.

After arriving at the academy, I had a busy daily life in many ways.
First of all, I had to keep up with the backlog of class schedules because of the crappy contract my father made. He had to go through several procedures to write his review.
“Cadet Abraxas… I understand that you put your application for field experience learning in the magic mirror of the month… “Then do you know why the Demonic Sutra of the Moon was officially ‘resolved’?”
“I guess I got sick of Monday’s disease.”
Apart from that, the academy was in an uproar because the Demon Lord disappeared.
For your information, I just ignored the comment about whether I was involved. It’s just heartache anyway.
Of course, it seemed like there were more related rumors going around, but rumors are not created just because you want to.
Wol’s demon world is also the oldest of the seven devil realms that humans have not been able to conquer.
When I didn’t respond in any way, it quickly died down.
“So what are you going to do during the performance evaluation? “Are you ready?”
“Uh. “I prepared everything a few days in advance.”
From noble mtl dot com
After a few days, it was time to evaluate performance.
It meant that the riot that had been postponed would be resumed.
If this is really left unattended, the president will not be a real person.
