There are no Bad Transcendents in the World

Daniel’s idea was unimaginable to Frey.

“Frey. Why don’t we buy as much land as possible for the Sacred Tower and its surroundings?”

“You want to buy land?”

“Yes. People still don’t know exactly where and how many sacred towers will be built. You are the only one who knows that.”

Frey nodded.

As Daniel said, the information on the place where the sacred Tower will be built is virtually monopolized by the top of Holt.

“When the Sacred Tower is built, it will be safe from undead monsters, so the price of the surrounding land will rise dramatically, but you will need a huge investment.”

There were as many as 50 new sacred Towers throughout the empire.

Since they had already spent a lot of money to acquire the Vliette Company, the Holt Company could not afford to buy the surrounding land.

‘With our small capital power at the Top of us, it was difficult to buy 50 places where only one sacred tower could fit.’

Frey doesn’t know if there is any additional investment. At this time, it was a little disappointing that the scale of the Top was small.

Daniel encouraged her in a quiet voice as if he had read her thoughts.

“So, get Prause’s investment and buy the surrounding land. You can use the land you have already bought.”

“You’re going to invest in our Top?”

Frey was a little surprised.

‘It was because until now, almost a year after becoming Grand Duchess Prause, I hadn’t seen Daniel invest to hold a certain top stake.’

Daniel had a great knowledge of commerce, but that intellect was used only for the development of northern commerce.

‘I can’t believe this dragon was a dragon that knew how to invest for personal property growth.’

Both the appearance and the noble character.

“I’m only interested in helping the locals live well, I don’t have any desire for wealth.”

Frey said that, but it was an unexpected suggestion.

“You wouldn’t accept my help with the company?”

“That’s not it. but… It was a promise I made to drive out the undead monsters with the sacred Tower and then open the gate directly to the capital.”

To be precise, it was the ‘marriage condition’ that she suggested instead of making her Grand Duchess Prause.

‘The condition…’

Daniel almost choked for a moment.

“Didn’t we decide to forget about that, Frey?”

“But a promise is a promise. I wanted to protect it with my own strength.”

“It won’t be a loss if you let me look at the Top together.”

“I think so. Because you are always more capable than I imagined.”

Daniel pretended nothing was wrong, but he couldn’t help but soften his expression a little.

“The Ravelz Plain was bought before the river flooded it and made it fertile. At that time, it was a wasteland before the waterway changed.”

‘Did Grand Duke Prause own the empire’s greatest plain?’

Frey’s eyes widened as Daniel recited a few more investment locations.

“I did not know. I thought you weren’t interested in increasing your personal fortune.”

“Because my property is the tax of the territories. If it is called an investment after proper taxes are collected, it will eventually help the people of the territory.”

Well, there were so many lords who collected additional taxes because they spent money on what they gathered.

‘Even if it was just the Labelz Plain, the rate of return would have been enormous.’

Frey once again admired Daniel’s discerning eye for investment.

Daniel rolled his eyes and smiled.

“If you buy the land around which the sacred Tower will be built, the return will be huge in a few years, Frey.”

“Hmm, well, please don’t forget that it is a Sacred Tower to protect the people from undead monsters.”

‘I’m not building a sacred tower to save money.’

Daniel nodded as if he understood Frey’s words of sincerity and he continued.

“It’s a waste to buy such a safe zone. If the rumor spreads, it’s obvious that rich people will buy all the surrounding land.”

“That’s true, right?”

“So why don’t you just buy the surrounding land under the name of the guild and then build a meaningful building?”

Frey could see the dragon’s tail gently moving behind Daniel.

‘This person had a side like this.’

Frey did not hate him for recommending investments with a calm face and voice. As Frey listened to his voice telling her to imagine, there was a scene that came to her mind.

‘Wait. It’s the first time there are 50 safe zones across the empire.’

The Sacred Tower was not built in an area already connected to the capital by a direct gate. For some reason, there were few undead monsters in such a place, so safety was guaranteed.

And, according to Isaac’s confirmation, the Sacred Tower had an effect further than expected.

‘If that’s the case, we can build a direct gate to the capital wherever the sacred tower will be built.’

Frey recalled the well-polished road network of 21st-century Korea.

“Rather than erecting a building, it would be better to promote the opening of a moving gate that can go directly to the capital.”

“Movement gates in all 50 locations…?”

Daniel couldn’t believe his ears.

‘It felt like my head stopped for a moment because it was far beyond the scope of my imagination.’

But it didn’t take long to judge.

“As long as safety is guaranteed, nothing is impossible.”

“What?”

“Since it is beneficial to everyone, there will be far more people in favor than against.”

People in areas where the direct gate of the capital was not opened because of the possibility of an undead monster surprise had no choice but to use a carriage for a few days to get to the capital.

In fact, they risk their lives to move logistics because they don’t know when monsters will appear.

‘Besides, the Aquarin Frey processed seems to be able to contain most of the magic.’

The Top did not specifically reveal what kind of magic Aquarin could contain.

However, Daniel could be sure when he saw the light-emitting magic in jewelry himself.

“If you put the movement magic to the capital into a jewel and mount it on a building, the demand will be huge.”

“Oh, my god.”

‘It is like you’re producing your own subway station, right?!’

Whether it’s for a trip.

whether to buy or sell something.

Transportation is very important to everyone. It was clear that if the price was right, there would be no end to demand.

For a moment, Frey saw a vision of gold coins raining down from the sky.

“The movement magic… We might put it in. Because you gave me the gift of a good wizard.”

“It would be nice, but-”

Daniel moved his fingertips while staring at Frey.

Sparkle!

Then, the little divine power he possessed and the huge magic harmonized and swept all directions.

In an instant, the divine power given by the emperor was transferred to the processed rose quartz as needed.

‘It’s just that you don’t have much divinity, but your ability to handle it delicately is similar to mine?’

Frey looked at him in surprise again.

Daniel, who had been waiting for this reaction, raised the corner of his mouth gently and said.

“You can ask me instead of that wizard, Frey.”

“Cut the meat a little thicker for breakfast today, Chef. It might be my last meal at the Vliette Merchant.”

Karuna deliberately said as if nothing had happened, but her mind was so complicated that she couldn’t get her hands on the matter at all.

‘The month proposed by the Grand Duchess ends today.’

Karuna knew well. When Frey tried to take over the Top, she tried to persuade Karuna, but the reality wouldn’t turn out so beautifully.

‘In fact, the only thing that can take over the Top is Frey, who has divine power.’

There were many ways to take over the top.

Kill Karuna.

Intimidate other merchants.

Borrowing the emperor’s breath.

It was painful to imagine the number of cases.

‘To think about the guild, which I dedicated my entire life to. falls into the hands of a woman who can’t even dare to fight against the Gelon Family.’

Frey, who took a month in the first place, was also funny.

‘She must have seen as many people on the side of Gelon or the Crown Prince as she did, but pretending not to know their power and authority.’

‘Those cruel people would harm the merchants just because they were working for a company that Frey took over…’

Seeing herself as the eldest, the younger siblings have dreams of becoming merchants.

Fellow merchants who toiled together in a Carriage for days carrying goods. Even their families greeted each other countless times.

It was around the time when her spine cooled down thinking that everyone might die.

“Leader. breakfast is ready.”

The chef brought a newspaper along with the menu Karuna always ate. As usual, Karuna opened the newspaper and was speechless for a while.

[50 sacred towers appear all at once.]

[Opening of a new large-scale logistics business by Grand Duchess Frey and the Holt Company.]

‘Are there 50 sacred towers that were said to have only one in the Prause estate?’

Every time Karuna moved her eyes to follow the letter, her heart skipped a beat.

A new logistics movement system targeting the entire empire.

Hearing the news that they would no longer have to drive for days with a load like a mountain in a carriage, the merchant’s heart couldn’t help but throb.

[“Our Grand Duchess wants to work with people who are familiar with the logistics and distribution system.”]

‘Baron Holt, did you spill those words with this super-large project in mind?’

Besides, to show off the fact that they have divine power, they built sacred towers all over the empire. It was obvious how this behavior would look.

[The princess exposes her fangs toward the prince.]

[Succession crisis of Crown Prince Tahar?]

‘In the imperial kingdom… Are you going to challenge them?’

Frey’s actions were tantamount to challenging not only the Crown Prince, the next emperor but also Gelon and the aristocrats.

A bold act that only those who believe in their own strength can do.

[“Karuna. I know what you’re talking about and what you’re concerned about.”]

[“What do you mean you know?”]

[“You’re worried about the family that’s worked with you all your life at the Top of Vliette.”]

Frey, who was more afraid of Gelon’s power than anyone else, knew what the wounded single owner of the Top of Vliette was worried about.

And, the answer to that concern came up with action. Frey was strong enough to protect them if they stood by her side.

‘she is won… There was no need to show it so clearly.’

The new Top lord is quite generous, too.

As she drank the cold coffee, Karuna had no choice but to admit it. That Frey had perfectly convinced her.

    Still think Karuna is dumb. Gelon won’t care if they are connected to Frey or not. Commoners are all expendable. How is laying off everyone even on the table as a “good” idea?
