526 Investment Foresigh (1/2)

Stephanie thought that Rolands concern was natural.

If she knew that someone she didnt like was building a floating city, she would definitely think of a way to destroy it before they became too powerful.

Not to mention that there were quite a few people who didnt want others to succeed.

I see. Stephanie played with the long hair by her ear with her right hand, curling it for a short while. She said, Im announcing to the public that Ive hired you as my royal Mage and that youre responsible for the security of my territory. This way, I will not arouse the suspicion of outsiders when I send you large quantities of magic materials. At the same time, if you are in charge of the security of my territory, you can decide the layout needed to build the floating city without having to specifically ask for my opinion. How about this?

Then its troublesome for you, Roland said quite gratefully. She had thought it out for him, so a little gratitude was in order. Stephanie stared at Roland for a moment, then smiled and said, Youre welcome, were partners now.

Roland finished the cake in a few bites and said, Then get ready, well leave later when I return from the Magic Tower. He knew well that women always had something to carry, and it wasnt convenient for them if he watched from the sidelines.

Okay. Stephanie nodded. After finishing the milk, Roland went to the Magic Tower.

After Roland left, Stephanies face, which was quite impassive, suddenly showed a delighted expression. When Andonara saw this, she smiled and said, Its strange that you are willing to cooperate with Roland. Last night, you were clearly saying how ungentlemanly and unmanly he was.

A floating city, thats a floating city. Stephanie looked at Andonara with an astonished expression instead. A Mage who can build a floating city is right in front of you, only a fool wouldnt work with him!

Andonara was even more puzzled. Do you believe Roland now? Arent you afraid hell lie to you?

He could create a multiple teleportation magic array, so the floating city is not unexpected. Stephanie smiled smugly. Although Im not very good at internal affairs, and I dont have much of a broad view, Im not so stupid that I cant see who the real future talent is. Ive studied with my father for more than a decade and couldnt learn anything well, but Im very good at investing.

Andonara looked up smugly. Not even close to me, youre just a partner, Roland is all mine.

You have it backward, you are Rolands. Stephanie shook her head.

Vivian was used to it, and after she went to close the window to block the sunlight from outside, Christina came down in her human form.

She looked at Roland rather unhappily. Master, is it proper for you to leave the running of the Magic Tower to us two women when you run around outside every day?

I have a feeling you like it quite a bit, said Roland, bluntly.

Christina choked on her words.

Vivian smiled lightly beside her.

Just as Roland had said, the two of them quite liked this job.

In this world, this feudal era, the status of women was relatively low.

The ones like Stephanie who could become a queen were irregular. After all, the Fareins Kingdom had the tradition of a queen being in power, so the status of women was relatively high.

But only a little higher.

There was no such tradition in Hollevin, where it was hard for women to get ahead.

For a woman like Vivian, to be in charge of a Magic Tower and influence half the city was already an unimaginably high status for her. So she cherished this status and diligently managed the Magic Tower and the city. Sixty percent of her motivation was to help Roland and the other forty percent was for herself. Realizing the value of her own life. That was probably how it felt. Vivian, apart from work, you have to find time to practice magic, Roland said plainly. Just as I delegate my work to you, you can also delegate some of your work and power to other trustworthy members of the Magic Tower. In this world, if you want to become a leader, you need a certain amount of strength at the end of the day. The Magic Tower will get bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more people, and if you cant keep up in strength, you will only be able to manage a hundred or so people. Vivian was stunned for a moment, then she thought about it, nodded, and said, I understand. Christine sighed. I know that this is quite a good position to be in, one we never would have imagined being in before, but We dont always feel very safe when youre away. After all, out there, there are always different ideas and opinions about women, especially beautiful women.

This was indeed a problem.
