Subscriber of the Gods Episode 45
Episode 45. My goal is
As soon as Ethan came out, Yereka greeted him warmly as if she had been waiting for him.
“Are you here? It seems like you had a harder time than I thought. Your clothes are a bit dirty.”
“I went to the temple and there was a customer who had arrived first. He didn’t even step aside because he was the first one there. So I took care of him and left.”
“Yes? Are you a guest?”
“It was a very long visit. How long, I think it took about an hour just to dismantle the by-product.”
Ethan spun his wrist and immediately opened his subspace pouch, revealing a snake skin.
The snake skins coming out of the subspace pockets were countless.
“It must have been a huge monster. Are you feeling okay?”
“I almost fell.”
“Can I help you?”
As Ethan nodded, Yereka immediately supported Ethan.
“what?”
Yereka looked at Ethan’s hand.
There was something in Ethan’s hand that wasn’t there when he went inside.
“You must have gotten something great. The magic contained there is no joke.”
“After going through all this trouble, I should at least get something good out of it. Don’t you think so?”
Ethan asked about the Fairy Queen.
“He said he went back first because the forest wasn’t completely purified yet and needed to be cleaned up. He asked me to pass this on to you.”
What she handed me was a herb that looked quite expensive.
“He said it was a token of his connection with Ethan.
“It’s time to do good deeds.”
Ethan was quite pleased with the fairies who gave generously until the end.

Ethan used the wind and returned to the Whikers County in one breath.
‘I thought only I could use it.’
Wind and Cloud was a movement technique that could move together.
Since my proficiency level goes up every time I register a location, I think it would be better to register a lot of places rather than using them a lot.
“Teleport? I can’t even use it yet.”
Yeorika muttered with a dark face.
Ethan gently comforted her.
“Don’t worry. That doesn’t mean I don’t need you anymore.”
“I wasn’t worried about that.”
But Yeerika looked quite proud.
‘I guess my skills will improve further.’
Ethan knew her personality well. He could see this kind of stimulation as a pretty good growth motive for her.
“It seems like there are more people here. There’s no place to set foot.”
Yeriqa sighed. The market was bustling with people.
There were more people than Ethan expected.
“Hahaha-! I finally got it! I waited for five hours!”
“It was worth the wait!”
People were quite satisfied with the lightweight work.
But one more thing, the magic they were studying at the magic tower stood out.
Whoosh whoosh-!
“Ugh. I couldn’t buy the attribute sword because it was expensive.”
“It’s not real, but I thought I could get a fire enchantment for this price.”
People’s equipment was covered in flame effects.
That magic was one of the magics that Marakhan had been researching at the Magic Tower, and it was called Fire Illusion.
If general illusion magic is magic that shows illusions, this fire illusion was literally a magic for show, giving fake flame impacts to equipment.
At first glance, it was a magic that had no effect and only created a flickering flame effect, but people liked it because it was a real flame effect.
In addition, the illusion magic of other wizards who were conducting similar research to Marakhan was also popular.
“I really didn’t know that would be so popular. That thing has no effect. It’s just pretending to be an attribute magic.”
Yerikha was impressed.
“I admit that that magic is quite difficult… … but if they had put that effort elsewhere, those people would never have been kicked out of the magic tower.”
“Yerika, people have something called romance.”
The wizards who pursued that dream were those with conviction and persistence.
“You don’t know that romance.”
“I don’t want to know.”
Wheeing-!
“Even if you look at that wind magic illusion?”
“… … .”
“Or is it like that when you see the illusion with that green aura flowing out of it?”
There were a lot of people in the territory who walked around with attribute magic illusions.
This attribute magic was also a magic that introduced the mechanism of Yeorika’s lightweight magic and created a time limit.
Unlike other lightening magic, these illusion magics could only be used by magicians of the lightening workshop.
In short, it meant that even if you use it as a subscription, it was magic that you couldn’t get anywhere else.
Moreover, since the appearance was cool, the service people were very satisfied with the illusion magic that was applied to their equipment.
“But even though I’m satisfied with that… … won’t I not come back once my subscription period ends?”
Ethan shook his head.
They will definitely come back for more.
“They’ll come back anyway. Then when they do, they should feel like they’ve benefited from it. That way, they’ll come back a third or fourth time.”
“Is there a way?”
“Yes. For your second visit, we will definitely add 10 days to the period. And for the third visit, we will add 5 more days, making it 15 days. We are also thinking of increasing the types.”
“What kind?”
“Look at the expressions on Maracan and the other wizards’ faces.”
“You look so happy even though you work so tirelessly?”
Watching from a distance, the wizards looked happy, even though they were obviously tired.
Despite being engaged in the magical trade that all wizards shun, their expressions were bright.
They are now being recognized.
“This is just the beginning. Once you start getting recognition, you can’t stop. As time goes by, this desire for recognition will diminish, but if this is the beginning, then.”
At that point, you can’t help but go wild. Once you’ve tasted that feeling, you’ll want to keep tasting it.
“I will improve and develop the existing magic. Then, the guests will be unable to resist coming. Since I started with swords and armor, I will want to apply illusion magic to other equipment parts as well.”
Yereka nodded as if possessed.
At first I didn’t understand it, but the more I listened, the more Ethan’s words seemed obvious.
“I’m thinking about doing it for my sword too.”
“What is that? That fire illusion?”
“uh.”
“Isn’t that Ethan’s black ice sword? It’s got a lot of cold energy flowing out of it.”
“So I can fool you one more time.”
“Are you serious?”
“About half.”
I was thinking of giving Fire Illusion to the Claw Sword instead of the Frost Sword.
“Then there will be more people than now. Will the Baekjakyeong be able to handle it?”
“What else can’t we do? I’ll have to discuss it with the Count, but we can increase the market size from what it is now.”
“Can it be extended?”
“I found out that it used to be much bigger. Even when the territory was smaller than it is now, the market was still big.”
At one time the Earldom of Wickes was the centre of this province.
Several artisans had established themselves in the markets of Whikers County, and to purchase their wares one had to travel to Whikers County.
But as the craftsmen all left, the large markets became useless.
“The market has been reduced now.”
“Then can it be restored to its original state?”
“Yes. Then we can accommodate more people than we have now. Of course, that would be the maximum number of people we can accommodate, but if we do that.”
“Maybe we can regain our glory? With Ethan’s power.”
Ethan smiled brightly.
“I plan to do that.”

“Your Majesty, I am not sure if I should report this to you… … .”
The governor reported to Count Wickers with an expression on his face like he was about to cry.
“Thanks to Prince Ethan’s business, money is piling up like crazy in the estate. This is the first time I’ve had this much money, so I don’t know how to manage it.”
Count Wickers, who received the parchment from the governor, also opened his eyes wide.
I thought there would be a lot of money coming in, but is it this much?
“How much is all this? With this, we won’t have to rely on other territories. In addition, we can reinforce the knights that we had reduced until now, and start subjugating the surrounding territories again.”
“That’s not all. There’s more to it.”
“There’s a problem?”
Count Wickers asked with a puzzled look.
“The point is that the business of the Confucius is continuously developing. There are too many visitors to the territory right now, and there is not enough space, but it can increase by at least 1.5 times, or even more than that. It seems that it was originally only providing lightening magic, but it has become like this because it is providing other magic as well.”
That meant that income would increase dramatically. If that were to happen, there would be no other fiefdom in the vicinity that could match the Earldom of Wickers.
“Can it ever regain its former glory?”
The count’s voice trembled.
All of this was the work of his son, Ethan. He never dreamed that Ethan, who was famous for being a swordsman, would revive the estate through business.
smart.
“father.”
Ethan entered the Count’s office.
As soon as the Count saw his son, he jumped up and hugged Ethan without saying a word.
“That’s really great, Ethan. That’s really great. You’ve done it all yourself.”
The count’s voice trembled.
“I just wanted you to be able to hold the sword you loved again. I just wanted you to be a little healthier so you could live the life you love. And you overcame it all. You’re really great, great.”
“It’s all thanks to my father. Without him, I wouldn’t have been able to walk.”
The count’s sincerity was conveyed.
Ethan quietly closed his eyes and patted the Count on the back.
The only reason Ethan Wickers has survived until now is because of Count Wickers’ utmost sincerity.
Anything that was even slightly healthy was something I could get and feed to Ethan. If I hadn’t eaten that, Ethan would have already died.
‘Besides, the essence was also very helpful. I am truly grateful.’
Would I feel like this if my parents were alive?
Ethan felt a little more warmth from the Count.
The governor was looking at the two rich men with tears in his eyes. He must have been quite moved, as he gave a small applause in satisfaction.
“Now, stop crying and prepare to laugh.”
Ethan showed me the workshop’s profit chart.
“… … !”
“… … !”
The count and the governor were shocked.
The profits from the territory gained through Ethan’s workshop were enormous, but the direct profits from the workshop were naturally even greater.
“This is equivalent to five years’ worth of profits for our territory, if not more, Count.”
“We’ve only just started, and at this point… … .”
It’s not a long period of time.
It was an achievement made in a very short period of time.
“I don’t think it’s stable yet. We need to run it for at least another year.”
But Ethan had no intention of stopping there.
“Ethan.”
So the count had no choice but to ask.
“What is your goal?”
“My goal is… … .”
Count Wickers’ heart raced at Ethan’s words.
