CH 158

Two-way (1)

Felix closed his eyes and opened them.

After checking the contents of the budget several times, he could not hide his somewhat bewildered reaction.

" Will you give me this much support?"

"I, too, doubted my eyes at first. The amount far exceeded our initial estimate, so we went to the person in charge and asked again. But there is nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, if you think that the operating cost of the tower is insufficient, I even told you to organize the budget and make a proposal."

The corners of my eyes trembled.

inside the document.

A budget of 2,000 gold per month and 24,000 gold per year was recorded.

It was a huge amount.

According to the document, 8,000 people would provide monthly support for the amount of food they need for a year, but I could not readily accept the unrealistic amount.

People called "wizards" a money-eating monster.

Unlike the aura swordsmen who grow through physical training, sorcerers need large amounts of expensive items such as spell books and mana stones in order to rise to the higher circles.

It is known to the public that, in the process of nurturing a 3rd circle wizard, you need at least 5,000 gold or more.

That is to say.

As the circle went up, the amount of money needed increased exponentially.

So, despite being a neutral force, the horse towers had friendly relations with certain countries.

It was a method in which basic operating expenses were supported by powers at the national level, and in return, power was lent in case of emergency.

In fact, at first, even the noble families showed a movement to accept the horse tower.

However, no matter how wealthy a family was, the monthly operating expenses could not be ignored, and a simple friendly relationship could not yield the return on investment.

finally.

One after another, he cut ties with the towers.

As such, the horse tower became a measure of national power, and the Kronos Empire proved how powerful the nation's power was just by maintaining seven horse towers.

' I was prepared to cut the budget to some extent.'

Leaving Frank.

Dmitry's support was not expected much.

Although Dmitry is said to be the wealthy man of Cairo, supporting the operating expenses of thousands of gold per month was another matter.

What Phoenix wants is the ability to accept fire. With that alone, Dmitry thought he had done his best, and for the time being, even if the situation in the tower was not good, he was going to hold on.

In fact, Phoenix had a small number of people and ended up with thousands of gold, but large horse towers broke more than 10,000 gold every month.

By the way.

Roman Dmitry offered 2,000 gold as his monthly budget.

It was the moment when the plan to increase the sales of magic items in the future collapsed pleasantly on one budget.

'Roman Dmitry. He didn't take us on a whim. He must have judged that he could handle it, and after much deliberation, he had brought in Phoenix as Dmitry. 2,000 gold per month is enough to operate the tower normally.'

Felix.

He didn't know the truth.

After Dmitry's iron mine reforms.

Dmitry literally swept up Cairo's money.

The amount of money they earn was not the size of the baron family, to the extent that they were unofficially said to be Cairo's richest man.

Moreover, he recently made an alliance with the Marquis of Valentino.

He wasn't a gossip guy, and he spent huge amounts of money every month on Dmitry to keep the saying that more money is better.

2,000 gold per month?

It was only a small part.

Dmitry was rapidly growing in size, avoiding the gaze of others.

And.

" lord of the tower. I think you should come and see."

The support of the Dmitry family was not just money.

* * *

It was a large area.

Pointing there, Chris said.

"We are planning to start construction in a week. As you can see from the blueprint, it was designed to accommodate at least 1,000 people in consideration of the expansion of the Phoenix Horse Tower in the future. And basically, we secured a space in advance to place the necessary facilities in the horse tower. We completed the blueprint after thorough research on our own, but if there are any deficiencies, please check it now and tell us."

" It's still enough. No, it's too much."

Felix looked around.

wide open land.

When I thought that I was building a home in Phoenix here, I felt a rush of emotions just by imagining it.

Frankish kingdom.

They broke many of their promises in the process of attracting Phoenix.

At first, it was clearly decided to build a horse tower comparable to the empire, but the astronomical amount required for the construction of the tower was contested in every case.

What Dmitry couldn't do even on the scale of the kingdom, Dmitry did not ask for it, but he commanded it in front of his eyes.

The blueprint from Chris.

Just by taking a quick glance at the contents, I could see how much effort was put into making the blueprints.

"Actually, I'm a little confused. The master promised us full support, but we didn't expect him to do so. To be honest, this is an exaggerated scale for a noble family to handle. Why are you even doing this?"

I was genuinely curious.

A large budget and construction of a horse tower.

It was perfect.

I didn't expect anything big and went to Dmitry, but it felt like a utopia for phoenix.

said Chris.

"From what I have seen, there is no particular reason for the Master's favor. Before Felix, all those who swore allegiance to their masters experienced the same thing. With the help of the master, I have made a leap forward as a prosecutor, and Kevin's family has left the slums and entered the castle, and he is receiving a richer reward than all his followers suffered."

this day.

Roman's men did not find it strange.

A few days ago, the Phoenix Horse Tower was a south-south relationship, but from now on they have entered the fence.

Felix is speechless.

Then, Chris looked at him with a calm expression.

"You will have to get used to it. For the sole reason that he swore allegiance, the lord is the one who values people more than anyone else. And in the future, we will live for such a person."

that time.

Hans had a crazy time from early in the morning.

"Because I'm not there, Master Roman's routine shouldn't deviate even in the slightest. Master Roman always trains swordsmanship for about an hour after finishing his work in the morning, and you should use a towel to wipe sweat and moderately lukewarm water at that time. And after guiding them to eat lunch, they have to make up a schedule that might be there and report it to Master Roman. After that ."

There was no end to Hans' explanation.

Hans' successor.

A servant named Murphy diligently transcribed the explanation with a frantic face.

In fact, Hans didn't want to accept a new successor, but as Roman's work increased, he knew he couldn't handle it on his own.

So, with great care, a successor was selected.

There were many people who wanted to serve Roman Dmitry, and Murphy was chosen as the new successor after a competition of thousands of people.

A talented person who also graduated from Adelian Academy.

Murphy was an elite in his own right, but, as in the world of things, he was just a rookie, and he wasn't good at first.

'Why are there so many alternative jobs?!'

Hans's work.

From morning to evening, it was all a day for Roman Dmitry.

Normally, I would have followed Hans and watched him with my own eyes, but today was a day when Hans was absent.

Hans' only son.

Harrison's granddaughter, Hans' granddaughter, celebrated her birthday.

Hans was going to finish all his work for Roman and go visit his son, but Roman forced him to push him, so he promised to leave early.

In fact, Roman's order was to leave the day before.

But Hans was stubborn, saying he couldn't do that, and until the morning he took over.

like that.

After roasting Murphy for a long time, Hans packed his simple luggage and moved on.

'My pretty granddaughter must love articulated dolls.'

My heart was excited.

Harrison lived in Adelian, not Dmitry.

After graduating from the academy in his own way with the support of Hans, he decided to start a business as soon as he became an adult and settled in Adelian.

10 years like that. Harrison became a full-fledged president of a company that supplies food.

It wasn't that big of a deal, but Adelian recognized the name.

The only granddaughter of such a son.

It was a treasure that did not hurt even if I put it in my eyes.

Hans headed for the gates with a light footstep, and was planning to move quickly in a pre-rented wagon.

By the way.

"I was waiting."

"Hans. Get in the wagon."

in front of the gate.

A different scene unfolded than expected.

The wagon that Hans had borrowed was obviously cheap, but a wagon adorned with dazzling ornaments appeared in front of him.

And Dmitry's soldiers waiting next to him.

Hans, who at first thought it had nothing to do with him, looked around and found that no one was there, and showed a puzzled expression.

" Are you waiting to pick me up?"

"Yes, this is Master Roman's order."

The stubborn Hans.

Roman also prepared a small gift for him who finished his work until the end.

* * *

Just like Hans.

Harrison had a crazy time too.

'If all deliveries are completed by the morning, I will be able to attend my daughter's party for lunch.'

Even if it's your daughter's birthday.

There were no holidays for the self-employed.

Harrison organized the food materials to be delivered from dawn, and quickly delivered them to customers with the staff.

one of them.

It was the most important business.

Arriving at the castle of the Count Adelian family, he called the manager in a cautious voice.

"I brought food."

Adelian's manager.

Butler Jordin was indeed a picky person.

Every time he pointed out with a grunt, he had to be prepared to make a fuss on the day he brought any poor quality ingredients.

That's why he couldn't hide his nervousness when delivering to the Count Adelian family.

Even if it was a day outside Jordin's eyes, it would be difficult to do business in Adelian, so even if it suffered a little loss, they delivered the finest ingredients.

By the way.

Today, Jordin's reaction was strange.

"Is it your daughter's birthday today? You must be busy, so leave it in front of it and go quickly."

" What do you mean?"

"This man. He said that he has been moving since dawn to celebrate the birthday of his one and only daughter. I, Jordin, aren't that mean. If you leave the food in front of you, I will take care of it for you, so don't worry about what happens next."

It was embarrassing.

Jordin was never like that.

I couldn't accept it as a pure favor, and I doubted that there might be some bad intentions.

'Are you trying to change the supplier?'

It was certain.

If you leave food behind.

Even though Jordin had told him to go, it was obvious that he would have his face confiscated and held accountable.

no. I will move right now."

"This person!"

"This is what I have to do. We cannot trouble Jordin-sama."

I covered my ears.

I called the staff and moved the food in a hurry.

Jordin is confused.

He must have decided that Harrison could not be stopped, so he hurriedly called the servants of the family.

"Call all the servants working now! Help Harrison get the food right now! We need to finish the work as soon as possible so that Harrison can return to his daughter's arms as soon as possible. Come on help me!"

It was really weird.

There was no bad intention in Jordin's words and actions.

It was a pure favour, and with the help of Adelian's servants, Harrison was able to finish his work early.

' What is it?'

while finishing work.

Harrison couldn't hide his embarrassment.

Jordin was not a person to cooperate with this kindly, and no matter how much he thought about it, he could not understand it with common sense.

But what to do?

I've already finished work.

After finishing all the work, Harrison hurriedly headed home.

only daughter.

It was time to meet his treasure.

* * *

this party.

It was a modest place.

It was planned to have time to celebrate her daughter's birthday by inviting the people around her and open the gift lightly.

Obviously until the morning.

Harrison's plans had little change, and as soon as he got home he noticed a strange sight.

tuk.

Dropped a gift for my daughter.

in front of the house.

To secure a spacious space, an outdoor party hall was installed.

There were plenty of seafood and seafood that I had never seen before, and people who did not know where they came from were busy carrying food from the party.

Not only that. On the other hand, the troupe prepares to play classical music.

At the series of sights that were sucked into his eyes, he suddenly opened his mouth.

" What the hell is going on?!"

no matter what you think

Something is definitely wrong with this.
