Subscriber of the Gods Episode 166
Episode 166. Departure
There was an attribute that Ethan was once obsessed with.
Green flame.
It was a dark green flame, not a bright green, the color mostly used by Death Knights and the undead.
‘I’ve been hooked ever since I saw the Immortal Death Knight.’
A shield with a spiral pattern painted on it, made of pitch-black armor.
And dark green flames burning from the slits of the helmet and the sword.
It could be seen as the very embodiment of fear.
‘If we’re going to judge by style alone, it’s a color that ranks high.’
However, this green flame was quite difficult to recreate. Ethan also went around to various places to find a wizard who could grant him this green flame.
‘And I spent a lot of money.’
So there was a wizard who was barely discovered.
Of course, even the wizard said that the green flame that Ethan described was difficult to create.
Of course, when Ethan offered 5 billion, he immediately started researching and completed it.
‘That’s Maracana.’
The wizard was the Marakhan before his eyes.
‘The wizard who made my dream come true.’
“Hmm, green. The green you mentioned is the color usually seen in death knights and living corpses.”
“It won’t be easy. If we’re going to consider the possibility, we have to consider it impossible.”
“But if you said that to me, I guess you meant that you saw potential in me?”
Ethan nodded at Marakhan’s words.
“Marakan, no one else can do it but you.”
Ethan recalled something from the past.
When you pay a large sum of money to be granted the attribute of green flame.
Maracana was like that.
-I don’t think anyone else can do it, so I’ll do it.
‘Now that my confidence has returned, I can see the spirit I had back then.’
“Let’s give it a try. There’s no way Ethan could be wrong.”
These are the people who will do well on their own if you give them direction.
Likewise, Ethan provided feedback and direction to other wizards.
And then I went straight to find Scarlett at the Dye Magic Workshop.
“Are you here, Ethan? Sorry. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to say hello.”
“Because you’re the busiest in our workshop, Lady Scarlett. The other wizards are probably fine because they’ve gained experience, but if you just look at the line, this one’s the longest.”
Ethan said with a pleased smile.
The biggest source of income for the workshop at the moment was these dye magic scrolls.
It was doing so well that it was generating just as much profit as attribute enchantment or weight reduction magic, even though it started later.
Scarlett smiled sheepishly at Ethan’s compliment.
I still wasn’t used to receiving compliments, but I was able to smile bashfully.
“Oh, this is a new color. The color combination is bold. This will definitely give it originality. This is a color that many people who want to stand out from others will buy.”
“You see? That’s right! I understand the psychology of people who come to buy dye magic scrolls. It’s similar to my psychology.”
When Ethan noticed the newly created color, she smiled broadly. It seemed as if all the fatigue from long sales had been washed away.
“There’s no way I wouldn’t know this.”
“Right? But everyone thinks it’s just black. This is Moonlight Black.”
The black she had previously created was a color called real black. Complete black.
The color I created this time was moonlight black, which is a complete black with a hint of blue.
One of the magic staff members watching from the side tilted his head.
“Is that so? I think we look similar… … .”
“It’s a subtle difference, but those with discernment and sensitivity will definitely be able to tell the difference.”
“If you look closely, there is a faint blue glow. Will people be able to tell the difference?”
As soon as the magician said those words, the guests erupted in screams.
“Huh!?”
“Is this a new color!?”
“It’s a black color with a subtle blue tint.”
“Yes. It’s Moonlight Black.”
“Please hurry up and get this Moonlight Black!”
“Please give me Moonlight Black!”
However, there were more people who could distinguish colors better than expected.
They hoped that even if there were subtle differences, their colors would not overlap with those of other people.
‘I know that heart.’
People who pursue style always focus on originality.
I try to emphasize my own color even a little, and if my style is similar to that of someone else, I immediately change the direction I am pursuing.
‘So, it’s inevitable that various colors will sell well.’
Scarlett completely understood the minds of such consumers.
‘The color creation is just beginning. There will be more customers than now.’
“Scarlett, is it possible to make this dyeing magic scroll so that the customer can mix their own colors?”
This is quite a bit later.
‘Custom dyeing.’
Scarlett eventually went so far as to offer a product that allows customers who purchase her dyeing magic to customize their own color combinations.
Some wizards criticized her for using such great magic only for dyeing, but Scarlett became a renowned businesswoman on the entire continent with just that one magic.
Becoming a wizard whose name went down in history was a bonus.
Scarlett’s eyes changed at Ethan’s words.
“If we can customize it ourselves, there will be a lot more options. Then, customers will be able to create their own original colors. The new colors they create will ultimately be advertising our dyeing magic.”
“That’s definitely true. Custom, custom… … .”
‘If you just throw out ideas like this, everyone will figure it out.’
What Ethan threw at them was already what they would achieve in the future.
After such a hectic business hour, it was time for a short break.
“Everyone, gather together for a moment.”
Ethan called the wizards together.
The faces of the wizards who had been brought from the magic tower, including Scarlett, were shown.
‘We’re going to increase the scale a bit. And we’re going to recruit people from the tower where Yeorika is.’
“You all must have heard the story. This Wickus estate is growing thanks to your great achievements.”
Ethan had previously heard that his father, Count Wickers, was slowly swallowing up the surrounding lands.
‘Actually, Letra Junta shouldn’t be here.’
Count Wickus’ expansion goals have now reached the Junta territory.
Of course, he didn’t take over the territory by force. Count Wickers was steadily expanding his territory.
As your territory expands, you will naturally have to look toward bigger goals.
“The size of our territory will be much larger than it is now. Perhaps to the point where this size now feels small.”
Ethan said with a grin.
“If you want, you can bring your whole family and live here. I’ll take care of everything. If you have any good talent, you can recommend them. You are now a complete family of our Wickus estate.”
It was a tough time.
Ethan came down as a ray of hope to their lives, which had been rejected until then.
Your magic is recognized.
That alone made me happy.
“Even if they’re not family, if they’re people who are like family, you can bring them. Since they’re people you cherish, they’ll always trust you.”
It’s about bringing those who believe in you.
“I tell them that their belief was not wrong, and that I am grateful for their belief.”
‘There’s nothing better than motivation.’
Ethan didn’t stop there, he added one more suggestion.
“And it can’t end with just words, right?”
Ethan knew the importance of words, but he also knew that there was something more important.
‘You can’t just keep talking.’
“Everyone, stand in a line and come to me one by one. I will take all your fatigue away.”
Ethan’s hand was suddenly filled with saliva.
-Use pulse diagnosis.
-I am very tired.
The wizards were working with the sole motivation of having their magic recognized. Everyone was working hard without realizing how hard it was, but the fatigue was definitely building up.
“And drink the potion too.”
‘Employees will be motivated to work only if their welfare is good.’
A sense of ownership doesn’t come from anywhere else. It comes from certain rewards and treatment.
Gulp gulp.
The magicians who drank the herbal medicine after the saliva looked surprised.
“My shoulders were so heavy, but my body feels so light!”
“I felt like something was flowing back inside me every day, but it’s all gone!”
“oh my god…….”
“A potion like this would be incredibly expensive. Isn’t it worth it to call it?”
As wizards, we knew the value of potions that had immediate effects.
In the tower they were in, only the tower lord could make a potion this effective.
Of course, it wasn’t easy for the tower lord to make these potions, so he would only make and sell them occasionally to support the tower’s finances.
Giving them such a potion.
“You gave us something so precious.”
“Is this okay?”
At those words, Ethan opened his subspace pocket.
Then, he took out half of the herbal medicine he had prepared earlier and put it aside.
“This potion will now be your go-to fatigue recovery potion.”
Everyone looked at Ethan with surprised expressions.
“I’ll leave it periodically, so tell me as soon as it runs out.”
‘Everyone looks like they’re looking at a god.’
If you told them to believe in the goddess Moon Force right now, they would bow down and become believers right then and there.
‘Because it’s that precious.’
Ethan was determined to treat them well.
‘From now on, it’s important.’
“Oh, Ethan, this is too much of a burden.”
“Isn’t something this precious worth a few pennies? We don’t mind something less effective than this.”
“Of course it would be burdensome.”
Ethan said.
“But this is not something you should feel burdened by. This is the expectation I have for you.”
“Expectations… … are you talking about?”
The wizards looked puzzled at Ethan’s words.
Scarlett was the same. She too was surprised, having never tasted such a precious potion before.
“You’re now famous in this region. There’s probably no one in this region who doesn’t know the workshop wizards of Wickus Estate. Just looking at the nearby estates, there’s no one who doesn’t have attribute enhancements and even weight reduction.”
As Ethan said, everyone came to the workshop area of this Wickus estate and used magic.
It was not a result achieved by force.
It was a victory achieved entirely by his own magic.
“Now is the time. We will no longer aim for this small province, but for the center.”
“Are you opening a branch in the center?”
“no.”
Ethan’s plan was a little more ambitious. It wasn’t just about taking over the center.
‘The center is the center because they call it the center.’
There is absolutely no need to meet their standards.
‘You always have to take the lead in a situation. You have to make others meet your standards.’
And the Wickes Estate is well-equipped to set that standard.
“This land we are standing on now. We are making this Wickus territory the center. This workshop street will be the center.”
Ethan met the eyes of each of the wizards.
“From today, you become the owners of Ethan’s workshop.”
