“The Duke came himself?” Carl asked.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Sheesh. What’s so good about him that he had to go all the way from the Duchy just to see him?”
Carl grunted while leaning against the back of his carriage. He was almost one step ahead of the Duke and was on his way out of the manor.
Carl never thought that the Duke would come down here using the wizards from the tower.
If he hadn’t planted an insider at the tower in advance, he’d be in quite a bit of trouble from the Duke. Like what happened to the lord.
‘It’s definitely worth the money.’ Carl thought.
Carl flicked his tongue while looking at the crystal ball in his hand.
This transparent crystal ball was a magical item called a communication tool developed by Matop, and it was a very useful invention.
(t/n: Matop is what the wizards called their organization.)
To be able to communicate with anyone from a distant place real-time just by showing his face in front of the crystal ball.
Although it’s an excellent product, once it’s used, it completely consumes a lot of mana and has to be recharged afterward; and the materials to make it are very rare, so there were only a few Matop wizards who had it and it was not recommended to be commercialized.
It was only given to VIP customers and used for their communication.
Carl is one of the most important clients that the Matop had.
He was a man who spent hundreds of gold every month to support them. And of course, the wizards value money more than status or fame.
“In the future, if there’s anything that the Duke requested from the Matop, report it to me first. Especially if it’s related to the warrior.”
“Okay, got it.”
After saying that, the light in the communication tool went out. Carl unthinkably untied his cravat.
His assistant next to him opened his mouth cautiously.
“Would that be alright, my lord?”
“What is it?” Carl asked.
“If the lord or the warrior ever brings out the story of the burglar…”
“Ha, that wouldn’t happen.”
A smile spread across Carl’s face.
He had already shut the mouth of the lord about what happened on his estate last time.
If things get bigger, the lord will definitely be quiet because Carl has made it clear to never mention his name, and that he will help him with anything that he needed in the future.
And there’s no question on Haron’s side because he will definitely cover up the maid’s crime.
“On second thought, I think it’s funny. I should’ve seen that maid’s face.”
“I have told the Matop’s to insinuate the maid’s personal information to Duke Blake.” The assistant said.
“Really? Good job.” Carl was happy to hear it.
Now Duke Blake will be more interested in controlling Haron by using the maid rather than knowing what went behind the incident.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t make a good deal after coming all this way, but considering the rumors about the warrior spreading outside, he felt pretty good.
