Are you sick?

"Where did you hear this news?" Sean asked puzzledly.

Probably because he trusted Luke so much, the other party's favorability started from [Friendly] when he saw him, and the overall attribute was [1000/1000, Friendly]. At least it showed that the other party would not lie to him.

"I heard this from a guest before. He is a famous wizard in this city. What he said should be true." Esmeralda said.

Another wizard...

There are indeed many capable people in Koga City!

"What is your relationship with that wizard?" Sean asked casually but found that Esmeralda gave him a dissatisfied look.

"He's just a customer of our store. We've been in touch frequently because he bought a few things..."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking if that wizard is worthy of our trust." After hearing what I said, the other party's mood eased, and the state above his head also changed accordingly.

I can't believe it. Luke hardly talks about matters between men and women on weekdays, but I didn't expect that a girl would be so obsessed with him. She has been away from Koga City for so many years and she still misses him so much!

"Well... I'm not sure. He's very polite when he comes to the store on weekdays. He likes to study various magic and alchemy, so he's also interested in industrial forging." Esmeralda could only say part of what she knew. As for a person's character, you can't tell by just looking at his appearance. As a woman who has worked in business for many years, this feeling is even more profound.

"Master Weigel wants to see him?"

"Yeah. Just some knowledge about magic. If he comes next time, could you tell me?"

Sean really wants to find a professional to ask about magic, otherwise he has no idea when this aimless practice will end. His magic proficiency has reached 60 points now, and he doesn't know how much more there is to come.

Is there a limit or is there unlimited growth?

If he continues to practice as he is now, his magic proficiency will increase, and he will be able to use other bold magic. He even used the hydrogen bomb that Bachler had used before, but its power was far less than his.

Including restrictions and levels... There are so many things I don't understand, it would be best if I could find a wizard to ask.

"Of course, Master Weigel also studies magic?"

"Just a little bit of curiosity, because a few wizards came to this town before and helped us a lot." Sean didn't elaborate, but when he saw the "doubt!" sign above her head, he knew she might have doubts.

But for various reasons, Esmeralda did not continue asking, but instead asked about her next plans.

In fact, Sean had thought of various routes to solve this problem from last night to today, and there were still different options until he entered the door just now, and now he has to choose one from them.

"I will stay in Koga City for the time being. If what you just said is true, and all the nobles from all over the south have gathered in the city, then it would be pointless for me to place Earl Hamil there. On the contrary, I would be easily used as a pawn by the nobles..."

Sean thought that if they couldn't do anything to each other, he, a small noble, would easily become a target.

If you do well in dealing with a few nobles, you might even get a taste of success, but if you do poorly, your town might even be affected. Therefore, the best approach is to stay out of their sight and simply continue to treat yourself as a secluded "village chief" in the mountains and forget about it.

Esmeralda agreed with her point of view.

"But if we can choose the right one, it might bring a lot of benefits to Thelemian."

"That's almost like gambling, and in the end, our life and death still depends on what others say..."

Esmeralda's idea is probably the same as mine back then, thinking that she could use her intelligence to mingle with several nobles and seek their own interests.

But who is a fool in this world?

What you can think of, others can also think of. Although your special abilities may be of some help, the final result is still in the hands of others. It is nothing more than choosing which finger to become.

"The market in Telemian has been opened as promised by Miss Hamilton, and the mercenary guild has also been established. This is a good sign... At least we can develop stably before the next earl's heir appears. I hope to use this period to find the direction of Telemian's development and accumulate some wealth. Only by developing it can I not fear interference from other nobles." Sean said.

Perhaps from the moment it came into contact with the outside world, Thelmian Town has become inseparable from the outside world.

It was just like the strategy games I played back then. At the beginning, it was just developing alone on a deserted island. However, when a diplomatic fleet sailed into other areas, it meant that it was connected with the outside world.

Now that markets and guilds have appeared in the town, is there any way to say no?

Even if these people can be driven out, the people's hearts have already been affected. Young people who have seen the prosperous world will inevitably "look" outside.

Moreover, it would be difficult for the townspeople, who have tasted all kinds of food and fruits from the outside world, to stop eating them again!

Knowing this moment, Sean actually admired the wisdom of the ancients...

Although being closed seems silly, it has been able to preserve the simple folk customs for nearly a hundred years.

In a way, it's really remarkable.

However, Sean didn't think he was a patient person.
