Episode 91. negotiation (3)
The morning after the unprecedentedly chaotic academic festival ended.
The rumor that ‘the secondary auxiliary control technique has been confirmed as the best research’ was quickly spreading throughout the continent, adding to the reputation of the Tower of Radiance.
However, Ron, who presented the best research, had a hard look on his face.
A mysterious voice was heard at the end of the academic festival.
That was the problem.
‘How… ‘How did you know?’
There was one problem with the magic formula Ron developed.
It is none other than overheating.
In Ron’s experiments so far, there didn’t seem to be any major problems other than a slight decrease in performance due to overheating.
However, in the future, as mana sticks containing secondary auxiliary control spells were mass-produced, other problems that Ron could not find could arise.
for example… … .
‘Explosion due to severe overheating.’
That was Ron’s biggest concern.
However, as soon as Ron finished his presentation yesterday, a mysterious voice was heard pointing out exactly the problem he was having.
The message method can only be used by magicians with the mental attribute.
The voice I heard seemed to be a woman’s.
In addition, the problems with the secondary auxiliary control technique were investigated.
Based on these three clues, Ron believed that the owner of the voice was one of the tower owners who had used the Mana Stick.
And the only people who met that condition were Winsim and the Tower of Fury… … .
‘If not them, then who are they?’
As soon as the presentation was over, I looked for the two female top owners, but they seemed completely unaware of this.
Given the situation, Ron’s questions became even more mysterious.
As I was thinking for a while, I heard a voice next to me.
“What are you worried about?”
“hmm… “No.”
Ron, who only then realized that he had been drinking tea with Budapju, picked up the teacup that had cooled to lukewarm.
Seeing this, the head of the boat smiled slightly and said.
“How many years have I been with the owner of the tower? Now I can get a rough guess just by looking at the tower owner’s face. “Is it because of that kid named Lois?”
“huh? “What does that mean?”
“Kkeul, you can just confide in me. It seems like you quite like that kid… “No matter how young he is, it’s natural to be worried about taking on the owner of a castle tower as a disciple.”
“Huh, what kind of misunderstanding does this person have…” … ?!”
Ron, who was laughing heartily at the butcher’s mistake, suddenly got up from his seat.
His pupils were shaking as if there had been an earthquake.
‘Why didn’t I think of this?!’
A voice thought to belong to a woman.
But the premise was wrong from the beginning.
‘It wasn’t a woman. Yeah, kid… It was a child!’
If it was a child’s voice, it was easy to mistake it for a woman.
Also, thinking back, I felt that the voice was very catchy.
A familiar child’s voice.
Currently, there was only one entity that crossed Ron’s mind in such a condition.
“I guess I’ll go out for a bit.”
“Uh, where are you going?”
The boat owner was taken aback by Ron’s sudden attempt to leave the place.
Ron responded in a cautious voice.
“my… “I have something to check.”
With those words, Ron’s new model quickly disappeared out the door.
* * *
Squeak-.
The door to the old room opened and Lois came out, stretching.
“Eugh-.”
Beyond the door, I saw countless piles of messy paper, and in the middle of them, there were twins sleeping huddled together.
Lois leaves the sleeping children and looks around the hallway.
At that time, a small shadow fell from the ceiling.
“You’re out, Lois!”
“Good morning, Finn.”
“Did you stay up all night?”
“huh. “I have something urgent to take care of.”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
Lois asked Finn, who bowed and snuggled into her arms.
“What about the others?”
The day before, when I was locked in my room.
Fabro, who I was sharing a room with, didn’t come back, and I thought it was just that, but there was no sign of him in the room next door either.
Finn answered Lois’ question.
“It’s all over Dexter’s room right now.”
“why?”
“I drank a lot yesterday and passed out.”

“These… “Some people stayed up all night studying the techniques of magic.”
Although it was for himself, in a larger sense, it was for the Tower of Desire.
Therefore, when he thought that others were drinking and having fun while he was working alone, he became jealous.
Lois huffed and went to Dexter’s room.
bang-.
The door opens with such force that it breaks.
“Everyone wake up!”
A loud voice echoed in the room filled with the smell of alcohol.
Leftover snacks and empty liquor bottles were scattered everywhere.
There, four disciples including Dexter were spread out like corpses… … .
“How much?”
Crumble-.
Even Fabbro snores loudly.
Everyone was speechless as to how much they had drank.
“Oh, wake up!”
Lois wandered around and woke up the Hope Tower family.
It was only a small incident when Fabreau, who was half-asleep due to sleep and alcohol, tried to hug Lois and was kicked away.
Thanks to Lois, everyone finally came to their senses.
“Okay… “Why all the trouble this morning?”
“Grandpa, come to your senses. Anyone who sees it will think you did something really great. “It’s a drinking party where we all get together to do something, a drinking party!”
“Oh, okay, don’t yell. “Because my head is pounding.”
A groan escaped Dexter’s mouth when he saw Lois with her arms crossed and double wicks turned on.
Lois said, looking around with a stern look.
“Go quickly, wash up and get ready.”
“… preparation?”
I knew what it meant to wash, but I couldn’t figure out what it meant to prepare.
Lois nodded and responded to the questioning gaze directed at her.
“A customer will probably arrive sometime today. “You can’t greet guests with that little ponytail, right?”
“… customer? “What kind of customer were you talking about?”
Before Lois could answer Dexter’s question.
Trudging-.
Footsteps were heard from beyond the open door.
Trudging-.
The sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.
Lois said with a slight smile.
“I sent an invitation. “It looks like the guest received the invitation correctly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man appeared beyond the door.
Dexter and his students’ eyes widened when they saw him.
“theory… Gremion?”
“Lord of the Tower of Radiance?”
At that time everyone looked at Ron in surprise.
Ron and Lois’ eyes met.
Lois said with a smile.
“welcome. “Are you looking for me?”
“… … ?!”
Ron looked down at Lois with a stern expression.
Ron came to visit early in the morning, and Lois smiled brightly.
Everyone at the Tower of Desire just stared at the two in fascination, thinking that they were still sober.
* * *
Since they could not accommodate Ron, who came as a guest, in Dexter’s messy room, the group moved into the room shared by Floria and Erica.
Lois and Ron sat across from each other in the center of the room.
“… … .”
“… … .”
A breathtaking silence fills the room.
Dexter and his four disciples, who had roughly organized their movements, quietly watched the two.
After a long silence, it was Ron who spoke first.
“… “Was it you?”
“The person who sent a message to the lord of the Tower of Radiance?”
“It’s you, after all.”
Ron was not very surprised, as he had already guessed to some extent.
Instead, he gazed more calmly at Lois.
“how… “How did you know?”
“Are you talking about overheating?”
Ron nodded.
The others could only turn a blind eye to the conversation between the two, which was completely out of context.
Lois ignored them and answered softly.
“I just saw it. “Ah, I thought it would explode if I left it like that.”
“… “It’s going to explode?”
“Didn’t you know? “You know that if overheating continues, overall performance deteriorates, right?”
“… … ?!”
“If the performance drops like that and the overheating gets worse, will an explosion occur?”
Lies flowed out of Lois’ mouth.
‘Well, if you think about it, it’s not a lie.’
Before the 3rd auxiliary control magic formation appeared, the mana stick to which the 2nd magic formation was applied had a 1 in 1,000 chance of exploding.
However, since the problem could not be improved, it was just assumed that the mage who got caught with a bad mana stick was unlucky.
“… … .”
Ron just listened quietly to Lois.
His mind was very complicated.
‘You figured it out just by looking at it once?!’
I wondered if this really made sense.
However, to simply dismiss this as a lie, the problem of the secondary auxiliary control technique that no one could recognize was clearly and clearly understood.
After thinking for a while, Ron opened his mouth.
“That… “What was the reason you told me?”
“Because I know.”
“What?”
“How to solve that problem.”
“… … ?!”
Shock appeared on Ron’s face.
“Uh, what do you mean?”
Lois answered Ron’s question with a smile.
“well. What will happen?”
“… “Didn’t you say you knew a little while ago?”
“I know. But is there any reason why I should tell you that? Even if I tell you this, in the end, only the Tower of Radiance will benefit. “Isn’t that right?”
“… … .”
Skillful negotiation skills that are completely unbelievable for a child.
“her… … .”
A deep sigh came from Ron.
Afterwards, he spoke with a slightly stiff face.
“If what you say is true that you really know the solution… If you tell me how, I’ll list your name as a co-developer on my secondary auxiliary control technique. The same applies to the distribution of profits accordingly.”
“Huh?!”
The onlookers, including Dexter, swallowed the air.
This is because Ron’s declaration was so unconventional.
A co-developer of a magic formula that will change the game not only on the fall continent but also on all four continents in the future.
This was an offer that would bring not only fame but also enormous financial gain.
However, despite the unconventional offer, Lois seemed somewhat upset.
“well… … . It’s natural to be listed as a co-developer, and isn’t it also natural to share profits accordingly? It’s a bit… “I’m in trouble.”
“her… … .”
“And to be blunt, even if my name was listed as a co-developer, would you believe that a 10-year-old kid did that? You might think it’s just a whim of Ron Tower owner. In that case, in the end, even if my name is listed as a co-developer, Ron Tower owner will take care of all the benefits.”
“… … ?!”
Ron’s eyes looking at Lois were now beyond astonishment and seemed to be looking at an incomprehensible monster.
A groan-like question escaped Ron’s mouth as he stared at Lois.
“how… you… “What is it?”
“Me? It’s okay for me to say this with my own mouth… “I guess he’s a great genius?”
“… … .”
“Also, now… … .”
Royce, hoarse for a beat.
He answered clearly and with determination.
“I am the owner of the Tower of Desire.”
Ron’s face stiffened.
He had to admit it.
Even though he looks young on the outside, this guy is not a child on the inside.
Ron characterized Lois as a worn-out old tower owner, not a child.
As my thoughts changed, my way of speaking changed accordingly.
“So what do you want, Tower of Desire?”
Lois responded with a pleasant smile to Ron’s changed tone.
“Before I tell you what I want… Let’s start again from the beginning. And there are additional people to call.”
As Lois said that, her eyes widened beautifully.
Meanwhile, everyone at the Tower of Desire is watching.
“What on earth does that mean?”
“How should I know that… … .”
Question marks continued to appear over the heads of those who did not know the situation.
