Doctor Player Chapter 182

“What?”

cried the Earl of Trenby as if it were nonsense.

But Raymond was serious.

“This is the price for closing the magic stone mine and cleaning it up. Also, I will take the debt owed to the Mage Tower. Then it would be of great benefit to the Count, right?”

The Earl of Trenby was silent.

If what Raymond said is true then yes.

The debt he had to pay to the Magic Tower was a whopping 300,000 pennies.

It was a business that would be enough to pay 100,000 pena if he took the debt.

“… … Are you really doing that?”

“of course. We write the contract here.”

The lords gathered at the table and Elmud Christine became witnesses.

“Then, from this moment on, possession of the Borison estate passed to me, Raymond.”

“The same goes for the 300,000 pena debt owed to the Mage Tower. Got it?”

“of course.”

Count Trenby thought with a satisfied face.

‘I lived. I almost became a slave to the Magic Tower.’

You have to pay Raymond 100,000 penas, but that’s it.

It could be provided by selling family heirlooms and disposing of property.

It would be penniless, but it was better than being a slave to the Magic Tower because of debt.

Afterwards, the sage Mevinson asked.

“Why did you do that, lord? The Earl of Trenby is not worthy of pity.”

“Isn’t that what you did out of sympathy?”

“then? Why are you in debt to the Magic Tower?”

Raymond grinned.

“Aren’t you going to pay that debt?”

“… … yes?”

“The Mage Tower was at fault and this happened, but there is no reason to pay off the remaining debt.”

Yes.

All of the debt Count Trenby owed was due to the installation of the magic stone extraction facility.

But what if there is a problem with that collection facility?

There was no reason to pay the extra money!

In other words, the Earl of Trenby had his eyes open and his nose cut by Raymond.

‘Because I didn’t lie. It’s the Earl of Trenby’s own fault for not thinking about this carefully.’

Raymond hummed to himself.

Earl Trenby is a bone marrow knight who has trained only with the sword his entire life. So it seems that I didn’t think about this part carefully. Frustrated by the bankruptcy, there was no rush.

‘Of course, there’s no way the Magic Tower will try to repay the debt. On the contrary, they will use any excuse to claim that they are not responsible.’

In fact, even when an accident like this occurs, ordinary nobles cannot properly protest against the Mage Tower.

It was because the organization that was invincible throughout the continent was the Magic Tower.

The Mage Tower guys were truly the worst selfish group.

‘But I’m no longer an ordinary nobleman.’

Yes, he was no longer a weak aristocrat.

He was a great aristocrat who would proudly become Oh Je-hu of the Houston kingdom.

‘Apart from repaying the debt, I should rather get compensation for the damage.’

Raymond thought with low eyes.

Yes, compensation for damages.

He took over the Borison estate to receive it.

It was an opportunity to give the Mage Tower guys a big shot. It also steals a lot of money.

‘Let’s get in touch right away. It’s an opportunity to extort money!’

Raymond’s eyes lit up.

Today was the first time I was looking forward to contacting the Magic Tower.

* * *

Shameron, the branch manager of the Mage Tower in the Houston Kingdom, has been contacted.

– Haha Long time no see, Count! The feeling of finally becoming a disciple of the Magic Tower… … ?

“It’s not like that, I have other business.”

It took an instant for Shameron’s bright face to turn black.

-There was such a problem in the magic stone mine? So an epidemic? That can’t be!

“Here are the proofs.”

Raymond presented his findings to Shameron, who was speechless.

It was because it was clear that it was a problem with the magic crystal mine.

“You may check again through the Mage Tower investigator.”

-… … All right.

Shameron replied with a heavy face.

-I am deeply sorry that this happened. Of course, it seems like an unavoidable genius, but we will consider compensation by acknowledging our moral responsibility.

Raymond frowned.

Genius (天災) moral responsibility.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

They pretended it wasn’t their fault.

“Then, what kind of reward are you planning to give at the Mage Tower?”

-I will reimburse you for the 300,000 penas you were supposed to receive later from the Borison Manor. We will also help you close the magicite mines at the lowest possible price.

Raymond let out a laugh.

‘You’re just going to wipe your mouth with something like that?’

The primary responsibility for this situation is the unidentified culprits.

They must be caught and made to pay for their sins.

But isn’t that the responsibility of the Mage Tower?

It never was.

In the first place, the reason for asking the Mage Tower to install a mining facility by spending a large amount of money is to prevent such an injustice.

However, the Mage Tower did not properly do their job of inspecting the magic stone.

In other words, the Mage Tower was also partially responsible for this situation.

“Excuse me, but which enchanter did you check the magic stones for this time?”

Shameron shut up.

-… … Since it was the lowest quality magic stone, a normal grade enchanter was in charge.

Raymond let out a laugh.

general grade.

It was said that a wizard who had just gotten his apprenticeship was in charge.

By the way, Raymond’s mage grade registered in the Mage Tower was also ‘Normal’.

Shameron said in a hard voice, perhaps recognizing their mistake.

-… … The level of the dispatched wizard is determined by the original magic stone quality. For following the procedure… … Of course, acknowledging the moral responsibility, we will pay a slightly lower cost for closing the mine.

They followed the procedure, so they said they didn’t do anything wrong.

‘hmm.’

Raymond crossed his arms.

It was expected that the mage tower would come out like this.

Raymond also admitted that there is an unfortunate side to the mage tower. I couldn’t have imagined that something like this would happen.

But that kind of attitude that doesn’t admit their mistakes at all.

‘This makes me want to break the hukou even more.’

Raymond thought to himself.

‘I will overcharge you as much as possible.’

Just then, a message popped up.

[A sudden quest occurs when the opponent’s attitude does not admit mistakes!]

[Take care of the

magic tower!] (Ninjutsu quest)

Priority: Medium

Difficulty: Low

Quest Description: The magic tower uses its position to take responsibility I’m running around! Get a fair compensation for damages and comfort the victim with the money!

Clear conditions: Fair compensation for damages

Compensation: Level up x2 Bonus skill points 50

Bonus: Don

Raymond paid attention to the contents of the privilege.

It was ‘money’.

‘Originally, I tried to get only moderate damage compensation. I will definitely give you the maximum amount of money!’

Extorting money would be the best punishment for the Mage Tower guys. Because they were the worst money bugs ever!

As if cheering for him who is determined, a message popped up in his mind!

[The opponent is ‘the truth’!]

[The ‘Truth special skill: Gap-jil with power!’ is displayed according to the opponent’s truth pattern!]

[We are negotiating at the territory level! The skill ‘The Art of Negotiation’ is manifested!]

[The ‘Special Truth Skill’ and ‘The Art of Negotiation’ create a synergistic effect!]

Raymond crossed his arms.

“I am very sorry to hear you say that. I believe that the Mage Tower is also responsible for not inspecting the magic stones properly in this situation.”

-that… … I admit the moral responsibility, but this situation is a genius that can’t be helped.

“I understand that in order to prevent such a situation, a large amount of money is spent to obtain a quality guarantee for the Magic Stone Mine in the Mage Tower, but is it just a genius?”

Warranty.

All magic stones are guaranteed by the Mage Tower when they are collected. costing a lot of money

If this quality assurance is not obtained, it cannot be distributed on the market.

“I think the Mage Tower should take some responsibility for this situation.”

-… … .

Shameron looked troubled, then hardened his face.

-That’s embarrassing. What we do at the Mage Tower is, after all, what people do. If you blame every accident like that, it will be difficult to do business with the Count in the future.

It was a threat.

If you want to do business with the Mage Tower in the future, just go with it in moderation.

Intimidation using a monopoly position in magic.

‘Because the Mage Tower is like a super-giant multinational monopoly in terms of the modern Earth.’

Just like the super-giant monopolies of the modern Earth, they were robbers without knives.

And the general nobles who trade with the Mage Tower are ‘Eul’.

No matter how tyrannical he was, he could not properly protest.

‘If it were me before, I wouldn’t have been able to keep my head up after being threatened like that.’

If the deal with the Magic Tower was cut off immediately, there would be a huge hindrance to the practice of medicine.

Other nobles could not stand up to the magic tower’s power because of that.

‘But not anymore. I’m saying that I’m no longer an ordinary E. It’s called ‘Super Eul’ in its own way.’

What if the customer who is ‘B’ becomes a big hand?

At that time, it will be ‘Super Eul’ instead of an ordinary Eul.

“All right. Then, according to the branch manager’s opinion, the Houston Kingdom will sever the deal with the Mage Tower.”

-… … I beg your pardon?

“First of all, we will cancel the entire amount of the daily magic tools that were supposed to be ordered from the Lafalde region, and report to His Highness the King to cancel the development of the magic stone mine in the central jurisdiction. The magical tools that were intended to be distributed to the kingdom’s regular army… … .”

– Count Pear? What is it?

“Didn’t you say business was difficult? So, as the one who will become the emperor of the Houston Kingdom, I am just following that opinion.”

Yes, he was no longer an ant.

It was a great hand who would become a feudal lord in charge of a province!

And as a representative of the kingdom, the feudal lord could have a big voice in state affairs.

It was possible to realize what I just talked about if I was determined and determined.

-Ooh, what are you going to do if you don’t make a deal with our mage tower?

“There is a way. You can ask for support from other kingdoms, or if things don’t go well, you can ask for help from ‘His Majesty the Emperor’ of the Imperial City.”

Shameron became dumb from eating honey.

Yes.

Ordinary nobles could not receive magical support without the help of the Mage Tower.

However, when it comes to the scale of kingdoms and empires, the story changes.

‘Because not all wizards on the continent are working in the Mage Tower.’

Although registered with the Mage Tower, there were quite a few wizards who worked for each kingdom for the sake of success rather than for the Mage Tower.

So, when the size of the kingdom grew, there was a way to relieve the magic disturbance on its own as soon as possible without the help of the mage tower.

‘If things don’t go well, it’s okay to get help from other allies of the Crusader Alliance.’

Shameron stuttered.

– No kidding. I can’t really do something like that… … .

“Of course it can be difficult.”

Raymond nodded meekly.

I said it strongly, but in the worst case, such a thing is possible. In general, it is not an easy choice.

The moment Shameron makes a puzzled expression at the unexpected recognition.

“But what if there is a commotion like that? Doesn’t that alone seem fatal to the branch manager?”

-… … !

Shameron’s complexion turned pale.

Yes.

All business in the Houston kingdom is the responsibility of Shameron, the branch manager.

His seat could never be safe if such a huge commotion broke out.

“On my own, I’d be indifferent to a brief disturbance, but that’s not the position of the branch manager, right?”
