At night, the Crimson Mage Tower.

Lide, who had just finished socializing, felt pretty good. Initially, he thought that connecting with Rom tonight would be a tough battle; earning a nobleman’s trust with just a few words was very difficult.

But the progress was unexpectedly smooth. Lide gave some advice to this young nobleman, who was caught up in a romantic quagmire, and after a drink together,

their relationship improved significantly. The conversation between the two nobles went without any surprises.

The overall process was uneventful, which put him in a good mood.

He called Laurent over. This steward of the Golden Wheat Commerce was now almost reduced to running errands for him.

But there was no other way; there were too few people in Green City he could use. Most of the apprentices in the Mage Tower were inexperienced youth, untried by society, and couldn’t handle many tasks.

Moreover, Lide wasn’t familiar with the people in the Golden Wheat Commerce. Among them, only Laurent was handy to use.

“Laurent, starting tomorrow, procure a batch of cotton, cloth, and farm tools, enough for eight thousand people.”

Hiss~

Laurent gasped in surprise.

Supplies for eight thousand people, was Lord Lide planning to go to war?

“Lord Lide, because of those damned Beastmen, the prices of supplies have risen drastically lately. If we can wait until the spring when the Beastmen retreat…”

Lide waved his hand to interrupt Laurent, his tone indisputable.

“No, Laurent, you only need to complete the task.”

His gaze was thunderous, exuding an irrefutable dominance.

“At all costs.”

These four words were enough to convey everything.

Laurent trembled all over, looking at Lide with some fear and feeling a sense of unfamiliarity. Lide’s easygoing demeanor recently almost made him forget that this man was a high and mighty mage.

Opponent controlled his fate, with life and death hanging in the balance of a single word.

Cold sweat quietly soaked his back, Laurent, who gave you the guts to dare to question Lord Lide?!

Hurriedly, he spoke.

“Yes, Lord Lide. Your orders are the direction in which the Golden Wheat Commerce moves forward. No matter what it is, even if you want warriors’ weapons, I will buy them.”

Lide gave Laurent a deep look.

“Laurent, do your best. Don’t let me down.”

After speaking, his tone softened, “Your daughter is fifteen years old now, isn’t she? If you do well this time, she can come to the Mage Tower next year to study magic.”

Laurent was overjoyed, looking at Lide in disbelief.

“Lord Lide, the Master Priest of the Life Temple said that my daughter doesn’t have enough talent and is not suitable to become a mage…”

Lide smiled faintly.

“Don’t play these little tricks. Recently, the Mage Tower has developed a new magic potion that can help one become an official mage. You’ve met Vina and Carlo, haven’t you?

As long as you make enough contributions, your daughter will also have a chance to get the magic potion worth three hundred Gold Pucks.”

Laurent’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

“Lord Lide, you see things more clearly than the Goddess herself. I swear to the Life Goddess that I will complete all the tasks you’ve assigned.”

“Go then. Contact the sellers first and come back to get the Gold Pucks.”

“Yes,”

“If you encounter difficulties, you can find Rom from the Alex Chamber of Commerce. He will help.”

Lide casually reminded him, Laurent’s body stiffened, and his eyes towards Lide became even more respectful.

Rom will help. The tone was casual, but Laurent understood the weight of those words. Rom was the marquis’s son; he hadn’t expected that their relationship would develop so quickly after just one meeting.

Lide’s handsome face became even more mysterious and respected in his heart.

Watching Laurent leave with vigor, Lide smiled slightly.

Using a carrot and stick approach, though old-fashioned, still proved effective.

Everyone has inertia. Though Laurent had been working diligently recently, he gave off a sense of maintaining rather than expanding.

Now, with the obsession with his daughter becoming an official mage, Lide believed this guy would definitely put in twelve times the effort to help him work.

What he paid was just a cup of Magic Blood, which wouldn’t be needed until the distant future.

For him, the cost was nearly negligible.

Capitalist Lide was quite satisfied with this.

However, the shortage of manpower caused him a sense of restraint once again.

Whether it was Dawn City or the Crimson Mage Tower, there were too few people available.

There was no need to worry about Dawn City for now. As the human population increased, the Bloodline numbers could be expanded next spring.

But the Crimson Mage Tower was different from the Bloodline. Training humans required a lot of time and resources; it wasn’t like the Bloodline, where just becoming a Bloodline could give you the talent of an Upper Race.

It was time to replenish some new blood in the Crimson Mage Tower.

Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, Lide was pensive.

The next day.

News that excited the area around the Crimson Mage Tower spread out.

The Crimson Mage Tower planned to recruit a batch of mage apprentices and a batch of merchant apprentices.

Of course, the former news was the main point of excitement, while the merchant apprentices were selectively ignored.

Blessed Goddess, it was the Crimson Mage Tower. There were fewer than ten Mage Towers in all of Green City; besides the three Great Mages, there were only five Advanced Mages with their own Mage Towers.

And the Crimson Mage Tower in their area was one of them.

Becoming a mage.

How tempting was that thought?

Imagining that one day they could become a high-ranking mage, how many people were boiling with excitement?

Especially families with children aged between ten and twenty were almost fanatical.

The usually quiet small square outside the Crimson Mage Tower’s gate was packed with people, a few mage apprentices responsible for releasing information surrounded by a crowd.

“Mage, my daughter is only thirty-two. She has magic talent, can she become your apprentice?”

“Only recruiting those aged ten to twenty? My son is only three, but his magic talent would definitely impress the Magic Goddess. Mage, please let my son try, I’m begging you…”

“Me, sir, can I be considered? I definitely have mage talent, sir…”

“Sir, here are five Gold Pucks, they’re all yours if you take my daughter into the Mage Tower…”
