Chapitre 42: The Magic Tower 1
After my talk with Elron I started things with Sophia, first off is the bounty Hunter persona. She's making me a mask, a portable voice changer, and a hair and eye changer.
All scrunched in one artefact.
"uh, how?"
"Sir, you see after buying the Craftsmen, the moment they learned that our offer is better in quality, word spread like a wildfire and all of the craftsmen went to us."
She then proceeds to continue.
"They were so thankful that they weren't fooled and their work speed increased twice after resting for two days. Hence this item"
The item in front of me she spoke about is a mask with an intricate golden lining. I was so curious that I just sighed and put it on. The moment I wore it, it started eating my mana, though it was efficient so it didn't eat that much.
"sir look at the mirror"
I just followed what she said and I looked in the mirror. I have platinum gold hair and Sapphire eyes. I blinked multiple times at the sight.
"Wow—"
Even my voice changes, it's a 3 in 1 item.
"Sir, if that is released in the market or auctioned, it would be equivalent to selling an A rank item, if not for the materials used it would be equivalent to an S rank item"
"Why? What's with the materials?"
"They're materials found in E rank gates"
"That's just talent, to make an A rank out of E rank materials"
Sophia nodded in agreement, I removed the mask and looked back at Sophia.
"The papers?"
"here"
Giving me a brown envelope I took it and looked inside, whilst registering to be a bounty hunter you don't need to put a lot, just a driver's licence would be enough to register you. So here in this envelope is a birth certificate, a fake birth certificate.
Well, it looks real enough, that's what I'll be using as a bounty Hunter and get a proper licence. The hunting centre in the underworld has a lot of wanted papers anyways.
Might as well mow them down. I'm not there for the gain anyways, I'm there for the eradication of some pesky idiots lingering in Ceath. I'll make sure by the end of the year a significant percentage is mowed down from the amount of filth in this city.
I'll be helping Elron that way, whilst making my operations bigger. I just hoped in the few years I'm here I could at least wipe half of the problem.
As I was thinking about that, Cero raised from my shadow, and with a kneeling position, he said.
"My liege"
"That's cringy, just say sir"
"Sir, this one may sound impertinent but I would like to make a humble request"
"And that is?"
"My brethren would like to revive our arts"
For a moment I looked up slightly and thought for a moment, there's no harm but there's a reason why Cero and his comrades were locked. I don't know the reason but then I guess this time my curiosity got the best of me and also, I might as well reward them since they protect Sophia all the time.
"Sure but with a condition"
"Even if it's an arm I will—!"
"it's not something outrageous, just tell me why you were kept in a place in such a manner"
Sophia found Cero and his brethren tied to a pole with tubes in their mouths. They were just being preserved at that point.
"We were betrayed and sold. Our previous owner... The previous head of Red Monkeys died and the usurper banished us, he was the closest aid of the previous head."
"Why was the previous head betrayed?"
"he... Wanted to make things he owns legal, his operations. But people from his gang disagreed"
"I see."
Well no matter, my curiosity is sated and I don't need to hold his request, I waved my hand and spoke.
"You can take some resources, just talk with Sophia, oh and also"
I looked at Sophia
"You need a secretary"
Sophia tilted her head, then she remembered, she's supposed to be the proxy head of the Blue pill Co. a fake CEO and to others' eyes I'm just an attendant.
"How you will choose this Secretary is up to you, just make sure they're under a mana contract"
"Understood"
"Alright, I'm going"
Cero, whilst kneeling bowed his head and so did Sophia. As I left I made sure to wear a robe that covered my entire body. The place I'm in is Bluelights getting attention and being recognized here is really, really bad.
So I took precautions and left properly.
After going back I made sure to change to a place out of sight and went to Anna's. Well, the warehouses which were just empty back in the day are now being operated properly, there are workers there hired by Anna and of course.
A man was talking to her as I entered the gates, they were just in the third warehouse talking to each other. Jamison Dell, one of the men I have set my eyes upon on a really good alchemist, a talent wasted in the future.
"Oh well."
The gate has a guard now by the way, and I can move in freely because Anna told them so.
"Anna"
Anna snapped her head in my direction. She looked quite surprised and bowed her head towards Jamison which he reciprocated, going inside the warehouse.
"Oh, Damian, what brings you here?"
"Oh, I'm just here to check on the Mercenary Corps."
"Oh! Well, I've talked with Sophia. It's going well, we just need to find individuals who would join."
"ah that's good"
We're in the open but thankfully the surroundings are empty.
"Where's Miella and Milly?"
"School"
Anna tilted her head and answered like it was obvious.
"Oh, right. Since I'm free, when are they leaving school? Might as well pick them up"
She looked at the time and looked at me.
"About half an hour from now on"
She's supposed to know all the time about their schedule but since she's busy might as well go and take care of her little job.
"Alright, I'll go take them to your apartment. Right?"
"Yeah, the apartment"
Ever since we had the funds, Anna went ahead and requested to be in an apartment, I didn't deny it since she looked uncomfortable sleeping in the warehouse, even if there is a sofa there.
Milly and Miella are both Six, by the way, they're turning seven this year. I almost forgot because we're all busy.
Anna is stabilising Red pill Inc. and Sophia is fortifying Blue pill Co. It's a race between the two. At least by today, we are solidifying our grounds. The projects may come later.

""Brother?""
Both Milly and Miella looked at me with bright eyes, Milly looked cute and Miella was just in her shadow. Well, Milly is an Elf physically after all.
"You look cool with those huh"
The sunglasses I gave Milly are being worn by Miella but it's a bit droopy because of the size. I gave that to Milly because it has a bit of an illusionary effect but it seems useless right now, though I won't take it back.
"Really?"
Miella asked brightly and I nodded approvingly.
Then they went to each of my hands and held it. These two are really adorable, well I held them and asked.
"Do both of you like fried chicken?"
With both nodding vehemently, I smiled, then I started walking with them to a nearby vendor I know. I felt like I knew every single chicken vendor in Ceath, but that's just a feeling.
I let them order whatever kinda chicken wings they want, whilst I ordered spicy wings with onion sauce.
—crunch!
I chomped at the freshly fried chicken wings before me.
'Fuckin exquisite'
The two, just like any other kids, ate their share of fried chicken till they were full, but since there were some left on their bucket I just had it taken out.
I ain't wasting no chicken. Especially if it's fried.
Milly and Miella wanted to go buy some toys but I only prohibited them since I know that Anna buys them enough. The toys in question are just key tags, like for their backpacks.
When we got to their apartment I typed the password on the key lock on Anna's apartment door.
The two immediately went inside and started going to their rooms. This apartment is big since it's a VIP class. Ya know since Anna is my proxy head just like Sophia.
Right now the ready-made potion is swiping off the market, since it's so readily available and easy to mass-produce, it was quite highly regarded among the lower-ranked mercenaries and Heroes.
"Huh, no wonder"
I remember having Moondrop and Supernova guilds having a full monopoly on the ready-made potion for 3 years.
That's the contract terms, and wouldn't you know it, the two guilds are rising in ranks. That's how good the ready-made potion is.
"Alright kids, I'll call Anna so behave"
""okay!""
Well, they're playing on their game, distracted. So I gave Anna a call about the situation of the two kids. She's attached to them by now and she's honestly enjoying the mother-like role to these children, well I know the reason was that she's an orphan and is still longing for a family, Ainsley was her only father figure in her life.
"Okay time to call Anna"
—Ding~ dong~
"hm?"
As I was about to contact Anna's number I heard the Doorbell. I'm pretty sure this is the top floor so it's either food service or something that needs to be fixed, but right now I'm pretty sure it's neither of those.
I walked towards the door and looked at the peephole of the door, and my heart dropped at the sight.
"No, why are they here?!"
I muttered under my breath, I thought OS has suppressed my fear but this site made a new emotion surge in me. Fear of people.
"Hello? Is Ma'am Anna there?"
Just the same with Nexus, you don't want to garner their attention. I breathed deeply before opening the door.
"Hello— oh? Is this Ma'am Anna's room?"
The man in front of me checked the door number and once again looked at me. He pondered but he looked at me.
"Yes it is, I'm just here to tend to my cousins"
"Oh! Is that so? Well I apologise, but let me introduce myself"
I didn't want to meet them or let anyone I know meet them.
"My name is Paul Roster P. Roozelvelth, and associate of the Magic tower"
The Magic tower's dogs.
