Chapter 146: True

Sautner Merchant Lv. 14

The text was in front of me when I woke up at dawn and a smile appeared on my face.

I thought for a second before adding the point to the charm. I had wanted to do that for a while, but keep adding to physical attributes.

Though, after it. I am going to add the point to the strength. I should have added this to the strength, seeing it is at nine, and it would have gotten a big increase, but the charm is important too.

I would need it a lot, in the work I do.

I stayed in bed for a minute more before I got out. I have to go to the office as soon as possible. The goods will reach the Mirador Hold soon and I want to know every detain after that.

They are going to come to the city at night.

If I wanted to, I could have kept them there for a few days, but I didn’t. The sooner people get used to the goods from the Navr, the better it would be.

…

Caena

“Finished,” I said and wiped away the sweat from my brow as I looked at the ritual enchantment in front of me.

It is in the shape of a flower, with tails hanging below it.

Now, I only need to charge it, before imprinting it into the establishment.

It is a sex position ritual enchantment. The riding woman: it is one of the thirty-two ritual enchantments Master Silver had asked me to craft and I will need to activate the charm while doing this position.

It will not be difficult, considering it is one of the most preferred positions.

Master Silver had asked me to create charms, but only half of the things have arrived, or should I say 92% of things arrived, which hold less than 10% of the value.

The real magical things have yet to come; they are not rare, and most should be available in the city, but this time, he seemed to be cautious.

A week ago, he brought things within a day, but now three days had passed. Well, a week ago, he only asked to make six ritual enchantments; this time, it is thirty-two.

Some require rare things that might draw suspicion.

Knock Knock.

I was thinking that when a knock on my room rang out. I placed the ritual enchantment on the secret compartment and hid it under the spell before walking toward the door.

Private rooms had many benefits; here, I could do whatever I want, without fear of anyone seeing it.

Click!

I opened the door and was surprised to see Margaux. I thought it would be one of the girls who come to me with their health problems.

I am an herbalist after all, and what I couldn’t solve through herbs could be solved by adding a little witch magic in them.

“Madam Margaux,” I greeted the woman, who remind me of my mother, with her grace and patience.

“This is for you,” she said and pointed at the trolley held by Stena. On it, there is a big sealed wooden box. No one will be able to tell what it is inside, till they tear it open.

Seeing it, my eyes lit up, but I quickly controlled my emotions. Seeing Margaux watching me closely, despite not looking like she did.

“Thank you, for bringing this to me, Madam Margaux,” I said, taking the trolly from Stena.

“It is no trouble. I needed to talk to you anyway,” she said, and her expression turned serious. “Would you mind coming inside, then? We can talk more comfortably here,” I invited.

She nodded and came inside, with Stena following behind.

Margaux and Stena sat on the chair while I was on my bed. Just a few minutes ago, it felt quite spacious, now, with two extra people; it is cramped.

It is not new. I would always feel it when people came, but it is not uncomfortable.

“So, what do you want to talk about, Madam Margaux?” I asked as we all sat down. She didn’t answer immediately, instead looked around my room, with her gaze staying on my worktable for a moment before turning to me.

“Your medical help is turning out to be invaluable to the girls’ and because of that, Master Silver had decided to offer you the suit,” she said, and I was shocked.

So much so that I wasn’t able to react for a few seconds.

A private room is more than enough for me; it had been decades since I had something of my own, but now, I am getting a suit. A privilege that only Madam and Assistant Madams have.

And I am sure my medical services are not the only reason for me getting it.

“Thank you, Madam Margaux,” I said with a shaking voice. I tried to control my emotions, but couldn’t.

“You don’t have to thank me. It is Master Silver’s decision,” she replied with a smile. “I will thank him when I see him next time,” I said, and she nodded and for a moment, her expression turned a little strange.

“He will see you tomorrow; by then, prepare a list of things. You will need to practice your profession. The establishment will provide them to you,” she said and which, again, surprised me, but I nodded.

“I will,” I said after a moment of silence.

“Well, I will be leaving then,” she said, got up, and walked out of the room with Stena, who took the trolley back, leaving the big wooden box inside.

I closed the door after they left and slumped back on the bed.

I am sure the suit is more for my witch abilities than for the healers and, to be honest; I don’t care. I want the suit. The bigger space will be more helpful than the room, which now started to feel tiny to me.

I closed my eyes and started to create the list of things I want.

Though I have to be careful, as some of the things are pretty witch-specific and expensive.

A few minutes later, I took pen and paper and begin to write it down, and soon; I finished with the list.

I folded the paper and sealed it into the envelope; there are few things there, which only Master Silver should see.

With that done, I turned to the wooden box and started to open it. It took a few minutes and some effort, but it was done.

Inside it were magical materials, which I had handled carefully.

There are all types of things there, from herbs, stones, colorful liquids, and monster parts.

Master Silver had brought every ingredient on the list I had given to him, and the quality of all of them was the highest. Much better than the subpar goods I had brought from the old woman.

Or even the ones he brought a week ago.

They much have cost a lot. If I am right, the market price of all these things would be slightly over a million crowns, and with their quality; I would be able to create more than thirty-two ritual enchantments.

The quality of the material not only reduces the rate of failure but also increases the power of ritual enchantment.

I sorted them and placed them on a table with tight protection of the spell.

Earlier, I had materials to create a few ritual enchantments, but now I could create all thirty-two ritual enchantments. I didn’t waste any time and stared immediately and a little over two hours later; I finished crafting it.

This one was rather difficult, but I crafted it without failure.

I wanted to create another one, but I am feeling a little tired. So, after putting the ritual enchantment into the secure place; I got out of the room.

Creating ritual enchantment is not easy. It took a lot of effort and magic, but I am confident that I could create three a day, four if I push. Though, I will not do it, unless I feel ready.

The resources are precious, and I don’t want to waste them on needless failures.

The workload is going to be immense, but it is also a great opportunity for me. If I am lucky, I might get a level out of it.

I am leveling fast since I had come to this place; not only I broke the second capstone but also went higher. My target, which seemed impossible till a few months ago, didn’t seem impossible now.

I pushed those thoughts away and focused on my current challenges.

Creating the ritual enchantments is the only one part; the other part is charging them. Unlike mages, I could not just pour my mana into it.

Witch magic doesn’t work that way.

I would need to harness the emotions. Thankfully, I meet lusty men every day, but even then, harnessing the lust to fill three or four ritual enchantments is going to be challenging.

I walked out of the basement and saw the girls practicing, new girls, along with old girls.

The whole hall is filled with girls and actors talking animatedly, while Margaux, Lola, and Della watch.

I feel a little jealous of Lola and Dell. They had been interviewed for the position of assistant madam and got the job. Andrea had also got it, but she had gone with Carla to Namdar.

Forget getting it, I wasn’t even on the list of people who have been interviewed.

My class makes me useful, but also untrustworthy. I would have been untrustworthy, even without a bonding incident.

Witches are not trusted.

I have to make him trust me. To achieve my goals, to take my revenge, I need this establishment and even if it takes me years or even decades, I will keep trying, as it is the only option I have.

I watched for a couple of seconds before getting out.

I stopped by the statue and turned toward the establishment.

“Eslayande,” I muttered and immediately, everything around me vanished. The statue, the ground beneath my feet, and even the establishment.

The only thing that remained is the true establishment. If Remus Silver can see it, he would be shocked out of his life; I could show him, but he is not ready.

I looked ahead at colorful faint lines; they are faint enough that one could barely see them. When I first saw them the first time, they were near invisible; now I could see them with focus.

On these lines are the tiny multicolor dots, which are twinkling like the stars. These are ritual enchantments I had imprinted and like strings; they are getting brighter every day.

Every day, the establishment is absorbing more emotions. I noticed that the more enchantment I add to the establishment, the more emotions it will absorb and be able to keep after.

I didn’t dare to believe it when I first noticed it, but after observation and some experiments, I know it was true.

More enchantment will help the establishment instead of straining it.

I looked at strings and enchantment before focusing on the core. It is a multicolored ball the size of a child’s fist and looked like a sun. It may be small, but it contains a huge amount of emotion, that any witch would salivate seeing it.

Every day, it will get stronger, till it transforms into a legacy. It will be a real terror when that happens.

If earlier I had been hopeful, now I am sure it will happen.

Though the timing is something I am not sure about; it could take a decade or even a century, but it will happen, as long Remus Silver is alive, and it kept harnessing the emotions.

I didn’t tell Silver about that. He didn’t need to know. His knowing might destroy everything.

The magic is not simple, especially our kind. Sometimes, you have to be aware of things, but sometimes, being unaware is more helpful.
