"Mhmmm! We are finally back." Noel stretched his body.


    "Wee back, Master." Dimitri suddenly appeared in front of the mansion. He was one step toote, but that was only because he was a spirit grandmaster, and Noel chose to sneak in to avoid any confusion.


    However, Dimitri noticed that Noel and Anna brought a huge bag each along with a woman. The fact that Anna didn''t say anything about this woman meant either they weren''t in a romantic rtionship or that something was going on.


    "I''m back, Dimitri." Noel nodded before turning to Anna. "Can you take care of her for the time being? I have to focus on catching up with all the paperwork that needs to be done."


    "Sure. Is there an empty house, Dimitri?"


    "I believe you need to visit Balott about it. I don''t know which one has been sold and which one hasn''t." Dimitri shook his head helplessly.


    "No. No need for a mansion, right?" Anna nced at the Arctic Queen.


    "Yes. I''ll take care of everything by myself, so a quiet small house is enough for me."


    While he didn''t know who this person was, Dimitri knew the Arctic Queen was important. Hence, he pointed at the mansion. "If that''s the case, how about a house only three minutes away from the city za? Because it''s not directly near the za, it is peaceful and quiet. You can reach any ce quickly. If it fits you perfectly, better go to Charlotte to get the key.


    She should be in the city hall."


    "Alright." Anna guided the Arctic Queen after thetter showed a sign of approval of the house.


    As soon as they left, Dimitri couldn''t help but ask, "Who is she, Master? I feel like she is not ordinary."


    "Just a spirit transcendence from the Beast Kingdom. She will be here for a while, helping us here and there." Noel shrugged.


    "What? Spirit transcendence? This will destroy the bnce of the kingdom."


    "I know. But for now, no one knows about anything. Without proof of me or Anna being a spirit transcendence, they can''t do much. Just keep it a secret. She will be a great help for what''s about toe."


    Dimitri wasn''t entirely convinced, but he still nodded. "I understand."


    "Mhmm. By the way, is Rose in the office?"


    "Yes, sir. She has been waiting for you because there are a lot of things you need to handle."


    "Hahaha. I guess I''ll be isting myself in my office for a while." Noel chuckled.


    "By the way, what are these two bags, Master?"


    "Superior demon crystals. I''m nning to absorb themter once I manage to free up my schedule. For now, store it together with the ancient demon crystal."


    "Oh?!" Dimitri looked at the two big bags. The number of superior demons they killed seemed a little bit too much even for him. "I understand. I''ll take care of it."


    "How about the people I mentioned previously?"


    "We have taken care of it. ine was trying to talk with this entric man withws."


    "I see. Alright then." Noel wanted to enter the mansion but he remembered something. "That''s right. Do you know any person that has the knowledge of how to handle a thousand-year-old paper?"


    "A thousand years old paper? If you''re thinking about old books, I can probably find someone around."


    "I need an expert that is guaranteed to not damage the paper any further. I tried to open the letter, but the paper was peeled off slightly, so I didn''t dare to open it any further. And yes, if he were an expert, he shouldn''t know about the content of the letter either." Noel was talking about the letter from the overseer. He never thought that the condition was actually worse than he imagined.


    "If that''s the case, I''ll search for someone around. There should be a lot of experts since they are experts in reading scripts found in a rune. I''ll find the best for you."


    "Good." Noel waved his hand. "I''ll go in first."


    "Yes, Master."


    As soon as Noel returned to his office, Rose couldn''t help but sigh while saying, "Well, well, well. Who do we have here?"


    "Hahaha." Noel let out a hollowugh, seeing Rose''s table buried under mountains of papers. His table was the same.


    "Wee back." She was a bit tired, but it was good that Noel had returned.


    "I''m back." Noel nodded and raised his finger. "Let''s start right away. Regarding the city opening, how is the invitation''s progress?"


    "We have announced that our city will be opening tomorrow. We have prepared three trains that will be picking up the people that have been waiting in Laivaen City. But I believe the nobles prefer to go with their own carriages. We believe that about two thousand people wille tomorrow and another two thousand the day after."


    Noel nodded. "That''s fine. Our target this time is not noble. What we want to show is the living quality for themon people and people who don''t mind mingling with them. I have seen a bit of the city''s progress. It seems that our transportation system has worked."


    "Yes. We have a single trailer going around from one part of the city to another, bringing a lot of people at once. We have put several posts for taking in and dropping off people all around the city. You sure you want to call this a bus and not let them pay for it?"


    "Yes. It is a privilege for the citizens of this city. Once thew ispleted, they will be more disciplined, and the road will be much safer. And with this, the citizens can reach every corner of the city in a short amount of time without paying." Noel thought for a moment. "The transportation seems to be working. How about the guides?"


    "We have prepared the staff that will direct them to their destination. And all buildings are prepared, including the market. Once the trade begins, all kinds of items will be flooding inside the city."


    "The soldiers?"


    "The new division has started working. We currently call it Inner Guard. Their leader said that you were the one asking him to work in this city. He said he''d like to meet you once you''re back."


    "That''s true. I''ll meet him tomorrow. I guess that''s it?" Noel tilted his head in confusion. There were too many things going on, so he had a hard time remembering all the small problems.


    "Everything is done for the city opening. The rest is just paper work. Maybe you also want to visit Princess Livia."Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    "Ah! The Rune Academy is going to open two weeks from now. I guess I should see what she has prepared for the academy." Noel nodded.


    "Yeah. So before that time, please at least finish these three piles before the grand opening. You will need to give a speech in the city za as well." Rose pointed at three stacks of paper that were halfway to the ceiling. She was smiling, but her eyes were dead inside.


    Noel also wanted to cry but no tears came out. This was supposed to be handled in a month, but he only had one and a half days. "I guess all these papers are more troublesome than an ancient demon."
