My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 168
#168
At that time in the west (4)
Results of a second investigation that interrogated the education instructor who was the ringleader..
His motive for the crime was jealousy of Diana's talent and greed for the money she paid him..
Diana, who was thirsty for learning, soaked up all the knowledge she could teach her like a sponge, which was enough to stimulate his feelings of inferiority as he withdrew from the front line due to his lack of ability..
In such a situation, she willingly paid a fairly high tuition fee, so he planned this incident with the intention of taking money..
“Tsk, that’s pathetic. You guys take care of it..”
“yes! road.”
Heinz roughly waved his hand and bit the vampire who came to report..
He just got rid of them because they were annoying right in front of him, and from his point of view, they were nothing more than minnows worth worrying about..
The events that followed proceeded quickly, as if sailing on a favorable wind..
Just in case, the best medical team was arranged to re-examine Rafi's physical condition, and along with a large donation, he instructed the church's priest to check again..
We also trained officials and made advance preparations so that immigration procedures can be completed as quickly as possible..
In fact, there was nothing in this country that he did not want to do, so it was natural that everything went smoothly..
“Hey, I told you to throw away all of this now. How far ahead do we have to go? This is all a burden!”
“Ah, but they said it was a waste so they threw it away. I guess I'll just have to take it to Billy's mom over there..”
“That would be nice. Let's give away everything that is difficult to dispose of to the people who are indebted to us this time..”
And the Bolt family seemed to have lost some affection in the city due to this incident, so they willingly decided to follow Diana..
Of course, it wasn't that there were no neighbors who helped a little when they were having a hard time, but there were far more people who cruelly turned them away over money issues..
I understand that it is a difficult time for everyone, but as I have been giving a lot to those around me, the hurt is bound to be great..
Rather than continuing to stay here with an already awkward relationship, he decided to shake it all off and make a fresh start by helping his benefactor, Heinz, with his work with Diana..
A few days have passed since I moved so diligently without even waking up..
In the end, the family sold all remaining assets and paid off minor debts.—.
I was standing in front of the Magic Tower's transmission magic circle, carrying only a simple burden..
“···gulp.”
“Omg, I've been to all these places in my life.···.”
“Oppa, dad! Damn that thing shines! pretty!”
“No, Rafi! W, if you touch these things carelessly, you’ll be in big trouble! really!”
Thanks to the full support of government officials, they quickly moved to the capital city of Talaria, and after a smooth schedule, they ended up here..
In the depths of the Magic Tower, where anyone who has lived a normal life would have had no connection in their life,.
I fully expected that Heinz was an unusual person, but I was dumbfounded to see everything that was necessary, including government agencies, being given a free pass..
It wasn't even another territory, it was going to a foreign country.···.
“Now, everyone, please get on the magic circle. We will start operation soon..”
At that time, the wizard of the Magic Tower, synonymous with arrogance and eccentricity, gave them guidance in a kind voice..
This also didn't seem to fit..
“You don't have to be too nervous. Our Rocapelli Magic Tower is the best on the continent when it comes to spatial magic. The probability of problems occurring during transport is close to zero.!”
There was a scary meaning hidden in those words that the probability was not zero, but they were so nervous that they didn't have time to think deeply and walked stiffly onto the magic circle..
Ugh—!
And as if waiting for it, with a brilliantly luminous light and a loud vibration sound..
Jiyiing—!
Five ordinary families from the city of Lafella, Kingdom of Thalia, were sent to Tarak, County of Aonia, northern Kingdom of Tulk..
***
Unlike the temple gate, which cannot be used by anyone and cannot be controlled by power, moving through space through the Magic Tower was a means of transportation that could be easily used as long as you had money..
However, there were two big drawbacks..
The first was that it required a jaw-dropping amount of money just to use it once.···.
“Well, are you both okay??”
“···Phew, it's okay now.”
“···me too···.”
Second, unlike the gate, the boarding experience was not very good..
If it was so bad, would the wizards at the destination hand over a bucket right after the transmission as if they were used to it?.
Unlike the three children, who were able to tolerate it perhaps because they were young, the two adults were sprawled out on the bench with pale complexions, recovering their strength only after getting some outside air..
“I guess I wasn't able to say hello properly because I was in a hurry. Then let me introduce myself again. My name is Hubert, and I am the owner of Hubert Trading Company..”
And when they finally got their feet together, the greetings they had not been able to properly begin began in earnest..
“From now on, I will personally take care of your well-being in Tarak, so you don't have to worry. Heinz and I don't usually have a close relationship..”
“ah! You were the owner of the store. I'm sorry for showing you a bad image from the beginning. My name is Bolt. Please speak comfortably..”
Bolt, with a haggard complexion, held the hand lightly stretched out for a handshake with both hands politely..
Hubert did not appear particularly authoritative, but his low attitude was an instinctive action that came about without me even realizing it..
Clothing adorned with luxurious luxury items and jewelery accessories flashing all over the body and showing off their presence..
At first glance, it seemed like a classy, noisy thing, like that of a wealthy man, but Bolt, with an eye sharpened by long years of business, was able to recognize that these were not all ordinary items..
‘Are those all magic tools? Oh my god, then how much do you have on your body??’
Also, what about the rugged bodyguards and stern-looking attendants who naturally surround this place at a distance?.
The sharp gaze slowly turning in this direction with a sharp edge made me cringe without even realizing it..
“Oh, sorry about this. Recently, something bad happened, so I raised the security level. Please understand if it is inconvenient..”
“Oh no! No matter what anyone says, safety is paramount, yes.!”
The sense of intimidation that naturally emanated from Hubert made my attitude naturally become polite..
It was a golden charisma born from wealth, different from Heinz's bloody charisma..
All he could do was run a small grocery store, but he was also a merchant..
Originally, for merchants, the person with the most money was the boss..
Hubert exchanged greetings with other family members one by one and glanced at Diana..
As expected, she seemed to have realized his identity, and her eyes were wide open and her lips were pursed..
‘Still, I'm not pretending to know..’
Since their relationship was to be together in the future anyway, Heinz had already explained the situation to her a few days in advance..
Since he is a vampire and it is difficult to go with him, he will go another way first, disguise himself and wait..
Hubert, who became 'another version of Heinz', looked at Diana and slowly closed one eye, sending a signal..
“Well, please take care of me..”
Diana, who read the signal, smiled awkwardly and pretended not to notice as she greeted him..
She knew that Heinz could change his face and had personally seen him hide his presence..
Since each individual is different, there is a slight difference in smell, but if you think about it, it is even more strange that they are completely the same while hiding their identity to this extent..
She figured it out on her own and nodded slightly..
“Well, everyone seems to be okay now, so I'll move on slowly. I have prepared a carriage for you, but if you feel tired on the way, please tell the coachman at any time..”
“Thank you for your consideration, Sanghoe Lord..”
The Bolt family gathered together and began boarding one carriage..
Rafi is jumping around excitedly in a big, fancy carriage, and Diana calms it down..
Hubert slowly stroked his chin as he watched the scene..
‘If you think about it, Diana's ability is similar to Hubert's "emotion" and is an efficient ability in this industry..’
She was said to have been a great help in stocking fresh products even when she worked at a grocery store that was no different from an alley store..
There are literally endless ways to utilize that ability in the much larger Hubert Company..
‘Originally, it would have been difficult to use my abilities properly due to career issues.···.’
but he is someone?
Isn't he the owner of the Hubert Company, which is now becoming the largest merchant in the northern region of the Tulk Kingdom, beyond Tarak?!
With his full support, no one would dare touch her..
A person who has a relationship with him and is highly trustworthy and capable..
There was no way to find out the secret she was holding right away anyway, so it wasn't something to worry about now..
‘Sniff—I smell it..’
It also has a very strong smell of money..
Hubert looked at Diana with sparkling eyes and smiled warmly..
***
Running a country was not a simple matter..
Power came with heavy responsibility, and as a result, it was not uncommon for kings in history to live short lives..
Judiciary, administration, economy, security, military, diplomacy, etc..
Even when deciding on simple tasks, there were endless conditions to consider, and the consequences each time you chose something were also endless and unpredictable..
On days when the wrong choice was made, it was not just a personal problem, but the country itself was often shaken, so it could be said to be a hotbed of stress and a shortcut to shortening lifespan..
‘That also applies when you take care of everything yourself..’
Heinz II, the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Thalia, sat in his office chair, leisurely sipping his wine glass and lightly skimming through the report..
“Hmm, it's definitely better than before.”
He nodded as he read the documents one by one..
Originally, the surest way was to leave the job to a professional..
If he, who has never tried running a country as anything but a game, gets deeply involved in national affairs for no reason, wouldn't even a healthy country be destroyed in an instant?.
So he only presented the overall direction and never interfered with the details..
“···Tsk, this is a bit weird.”
Of course, in the meantime, plans were bound to come out that deviated from the intended direction for various reasons..
However, as I said before, there was no way he had the ability to solve the problems that the experts missed.···.
Of course there was only one thing he could do here..
-If you don't like this or that part, think about that part and do it again..
Pushing subordinates until they get it right.
This was also intervention in state affairs, but he was not forcing a policy that could never be implemented..
I just encourage my smart friends to come up with better solutions..
There were always multiple paths to everything in the world, and people had the potential to somehow find a breakthrough when faced with an extreme situation..
‘Because they are people who can do it. You've probably been having fun and eating comfortably so far, so shouldn't you work hard even at times like this??’
Of course, in this class-based society, there were only a very limited number of people who could be considered experts in state administration..
They were none other than high-ranking officials, including royalty and nobles, who were the highest class of the country and intellectuals..
The helpless people who had been repeating the same policies like inertia while under the control of the Brokoslak Clan were finally given a place where their talents could flourish.!
···I don't know if they really wanted it.
‘That's none of my business.’
He just laid the groundwork for them to thrive..
In this way, the plans soaked in the blood, sweat, and tears of the high-ranking people of the Kingdom of Thalia began to be repaired one by one..
It wasn't until the time came when their resentment, lamentation, and resentment came out in every single word.—.
Finally, in the Kingdom of Thalia, in the far west of the Aeon Continent,.
Vampire Clan Alliance, 'Hybrid' appears at the forefront of history.
