There are no Bad Transcendents in the World

After a week, an unfamiliar landscape appeared across the empire.

“What the hell is this?”

Count Heinz, who briefly came down to the capital for the funeral of his mother, who had closed his eyes a few days ago, was speechless.

Before leaving for the capital again, he had intended to look around the territory for the first time in a long time. There was a tower standing on the wide plain that Grand Duke Prause bought years ago.

Being immersed in sadness, he did not know the recent news for a while, and the subordinate explained to the owner who bought it.

“This is the Sacred Tower, master. The newspapers are making a fuss about Lady Frey revolutionizing the entire empire in a matter of days.”

However, Heinz, who left behind work for a month and only looked after his mother, did not immediately understand.

“So, you said the one who built it is Her Highness the Grand Duchess?”

“Yes. It is a tower containing divine power to drive away undead monsters.”

“Well, she built them all over the country?”

“Yes. She made 50 of them. I heard that Grand Duke Prause provided land for the tower to be built. Isn’t it a family that owns a huge amount of land?”

 “What?” Heinz said.

As a member of the Council of Elders who assisted the emperor in deciding important issues of the country, he was well aware of what a great invention the Sacred Tower was.

‘To build 50 of them.’

‘This is so too much… is she doing this on purpose to fool His Highness Tahar, who has no divine power?’

Although it was already talked about that the Senate supported the crown prince. Frey suddenly showed such outstanding talent that he had a lot to think about.

“There is a movement magic scroll in the mansion, so let’s go back.”

It was clear that the elders were discussing the Sacred Tower, so he had to hurry up and attend the meeting in order not to be alienated.

As he ordered to go back, his subordinate asked cautiously.

“Master. If you need to arrive in a hurry, why not use the Sacred Tower? We arrive at the capital in the blink of an eye.”

“Are you saying we are going to the capital with the Sacred Tower?”

“Yes, the moving magic circle is mounted on the jewel in the center of the tower. You can think of it as a movement magic scroll that can be used multiple times.”

“The movement magic… on the tower?”

‘can be used multiple times?’

The Duke of Gelon spent an astronomical amount of money trying to find out how to put divine power into the tower, but there was no result yet. Didn’t even the Magic’s Tower get any information about the luminous Aquarin called ‘noon’.

‘However, one side built a tower to replace the movement magic scroll.’

The difference in level was so great that it was embarrassing.

At this point, Heinz felt great about Frey, who had hidden her abilities until marriage. After thinking for a while, he came to a conclusion.

“Now that we have a chance, let’s pack up and use the tower’s moving magic circle. It is also an elder’s job to understand the new cultures that have emerged throughout the empire.”

By the time Heinz got off the carriage and looked up at the tower with his hands behind his back, There was a delicious smell that stimulated the salivary glands nearby.

The fragrance was so sweet that when he looked closely, it was a food made by cutting whole potatoes into tornado shapes and then baked with cheese and butter.

‘What else is this…?’

Heinz unknowingly swallowed the saliva in his mouth.

“Daniel! Did you see the sales slip?”

Frey went to Daniel’s office with a wide smile. Daniel, who happened to be looking at the materials related to the Holt Merchant, also had a bright expression.

“Thanks to the good work, I got a share of Holt Top”

To be precise, Baron Holt, impressed by the sales he had never seen in his life, handed over part of his stake while shedding tears of emotion.

[“The Grand Duke’s generous investment…! Thank you, I give you this.”]

[“ Baron, you are the owner of the guild, so you don’t have to cry so much for this amount of money.”]

[“Your Highness. With all due respect, not all lords are like Prause…Thanks to Your Highness, our family is the first to receive a toll.”]

toll fee. It was referring to the usage fee that was collected when people moved to the capital using the Sacred Towers installed in the name of Holt Merchant.

“Frey, to be honest, I was surprised too. I knew movement magic was in high demand, but…”

After undergoing a thorough examination by the Holy Knights. As soon as the official license for operation fell, people flocked like clouds.

Sales are exactly three times higher than Daniel expected. It was thanks to the willingness of people to pay for previously unimaginable means of transportation.

“It is said that the price is affordable even for ordinary people. Now, Gelon’s sales of movement magic scrolls will drop sharply, right?”

“I guess so. Wizards will have to find other ways to make money, but it won’t be easy.”

“Thank you for investing a lot of money. I didn’t know Prause owned so much land.”

“Buying land that smells divine is a hobby that Grand Duke Prause has had for generations.”

For a moment, Frey imagined white dragons sniffing and finding the bare land.

‘It’s big, but it looks like a puppy. Does the tail wag gently?’

Imagining his cute appearance made Frey feel like the fatigue from working too hard for so long melted away.

‘In addition, the sales of the food at the service area, which I planned with my own heart, are also good.’

Frey had only taken a domestic trip on an express bus once in her previous life.

‘The food I bought at the rest stop was so delicious.’

Tteokbokki and sweet and sour chicken may not fit the sentiment of the worldview, So she thought it would be okay to try potato chips or walnut snacks, and the result was a great success.

“This achievement is thanks to your advice to buy the land around it instead of just building the sacred tower.”

“Now I’ll join you when you talk about the top.”

Daniel added playfully.

Recognition that the north was relatively dangerous remained, and the northern part was still full of tourists. But The fact that the direct gate to the capital city has been opened is definitely something that will go down in history.

Now that everything he wanted was done, he wanted to help Frey achieve her goal.

“Since you’ve had that hard time for a month, there shouldn’t be any problem with taking over the Vliette Merchant.”

“Of course. I finished talking with Karuna.”

[“Now I understand how determined Her Highness the Grand Duchess started her work.”]

[“Karuna, I will do my best, so please share what you have learned.”]

[“I understand, Lord of the Top of Vliette. Don’t worry, commerce and logistics are my specialties.”]

Karuna really kept her promise. She sent competent people to various places to help merchants use the Sacred Tower movement gate system well.

“Now Karuna is also the assistant manager of Holt’s top team.”

Frey was able to affirm Karuna as her person because she took over important information.

“It was Karuna’s younger brother, who had been ordered by Count Vliette and had been under the fog of Fall at the tower. It is said that he was hiding As soon as Breck Vliette had been caught.”

“There must be a reason why Karuna rejected you from taking over the Top.”

“Right? She must have found evidence that could damage the magic Tower somehow, and then, if things went wrong, she would have thought that the Gelon side might kill her brother.”

But now that Frey has checked what she can do in a month, the story has changed.

“Now she seems convinced that I can protect her brother.”

“I need to put protective magic on her brother so he doesn’t suffer any unsavory things.”

“I would really appreciate it if you would do that. I brought him to the guest room at the Prause Mansion, but the safer him the better.”

“Then let’s go see the witness.”

Wushh!

Daniel opened the moving magic circle and headed to the guest room of Grand Duke Prause.

In the well-arranged room, a young man who looked exactly like Karuna was resting in an awkward posture.

The problem was that he wasn’t wearing a top.

“Sorry, I’m sorry! I was going to see The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess, so I tried to keep my posture right, but…”

Karuna’s younger brother, Carlos, hurriedly looked around to find a shirt he had put down somewhere.

Frey looked at the flustered man and said.

“Oh, Carlos. Take it slow.”

“….”

Daniel gently covered Frey’s steady-moving eyes with his big hands. Then, he asked in a low voice.

“Fray, what are you looking at?”

“No, it’s just….”

‘You must have stared at another man’s tanned skin and said it as if it was nothing.’

‘It felt like something was boiling inside of me.’

It was strange nonetheless. The sullen feeling went not to Frey, but to a young man named Carlos.

‘Come to think of it, one more man is staying in the castle.’

In an instant, his pupils lengthened vertically, then returned to their original state. It was a typical behavior of a dragon that recognized the enemy.

Soon after, Carlos, fully clothed, bowed his back politely.

“I’m sorry for appearing ugly.”

“No–”

Daniel cut off Frey’s words neatly.

“From now on, let’s be careful with each other, and the sooner we get things done, the better, so let’s get straight to the point.”

‘Somehow, it seems that he wants to get out of here quickly.’

Frey looked at Daniel for a while, then asked Carlos.

“Carlos. I have heard all about you from Karuna, so I’ll ask. Tell me everything you know about her Fog of Fall.”

Carlos nodded his head with a grave look.

“I worked at the guild since I was 10 years old, and from then on, I did whatever I could to run errands for senior guild members.”

“Did they originally ask to transport the Fog of Fall because you were friendly with Breck Vliette?”

“No. My sister told me not to hang out with people with bad behavior…I have only carried the Fog of Fall once.”

Frey nodded inwardly.

‘Well, Karuna wouldn’t have handed him over as a witness if her younger brother was in charge of transporting it.’

‘Unless she wanted her younger brother handed over to the jail.’

“The man who was originally a carrier asked me to do a day’s work for him because he drank too much the day before. I didn’t refuse as I always did…”

“That was the job of carrying the Fog of Fall ordered by Breck Vliette.”

Carlos nodded and continued.

“There, I saw a shocking scene that could bring down the magic tower.”
