Return of the Class 8 Mage
140.

It would be a tedious task to have to spend it all.

At least, that's what he's trying to mean.

“I'm also thinking of putting you in a respectable position.” The Empire said while thinking.

“I don't need it either, Your Highness.”

“What do you mean?”

“Good...” Ian started, his eyes shining brightly. “Is there a position below you that is higher than being the Ruler of the Ivory Tower? It would be dizzying to introduce myself wherever I go, with all the titles I have.”

The emperor laughed out loud.

“I don't think like that. True – what is the need for honorary titles when you are already known as the Ruler of Ivory Tower who knows how to fly a dragon?”

When the Emperor was talking to Ian, he treated him equally, while showing respect as he spoke to the Ivory Tower Master.

“You flatter me, My Lord.”

“I just describe it as it is.” The emperor commented, sipping his tea placed on the table next to him.

After a moment of silence, the emperor spoke again.

“I always thank you, Ian,” he said gratefully. “You've saved this country many times.”

“I just did what needed to be done.” replied Ian.

“I also always thank you for your snobs.” The emperor said honestly.

“He still has a long way to go, but the Crown Prince finally comes to his senses and fulfills his duties. It's all thanks to you. It is the greatest blessing in the history of our nation that you were born as a citizen of this empire. At least, that's what I think.”

“No, My Lord. This nation is blessed to have you as their kingdom, because of the way you govern the country. As for the Crown Prince, it's all thanks to your teachings – “

“I thank you for your pretentious answer, but I think you are overdoing it.”

“... and of course, I also got compliments.” Ian added, and the emperor laughed out loud.

Conversations between them – two of the most powerful creatures in the country – has always been friendly like this.

“It is still wrong not to reward you for what you have done. It's a simple matter. If you do well, I reward you, and if you make a mistake, I Punish You. I really don't want to break such simple rules, so tell me whatever you want. Even if it's a simple request. ”

It just so happened that something was on Ian's mind for a while.

“Tell me.”

It was more for the purpose of asking permission than a request.

“I want to expand the property you have for me.” said Ian.

“Expand your property?” Emperor asked. “Explain more.”

“The property was originally used for the royal family's personal use. There is a lot of space that is not being used due to safety concerns.

The property was built in the form of a garden, but it was as good as an empty house.

“I wonder if I can use that property for other purposes, such as a private lab, or an office for our organization.” Ian said. This is not a lie at all. He simply left out another fact about how he planned to use the property.

‘I happen to need a place to live the craftsmen.’ thought Ian. The plan was to bring island artisans to the city, and there were plenty of reasons to do so.

‘It will be much more convenient for me to fund their project, and ask for their help at the same time.’ thought Ian. Of course, he had other ways to reach them, such as teleportation portals, pouches, and Dwarf-Light, but it would be easier to keep them at close range.

‘And on top of that, letting them stay on the island itself is a problem.’ The craftsmen have scattered to different corners of the earth, looking for a way to die, and they once again live on Knocking Island, a remote island located right in the middle of the ocean.

‘Living on the island will only make them miss death even more.’ Ian decides. The way he saw it, the craftsmen had to go out into the world. It would be better for them to heal from their past by making new friendships. Even if they ended up dying, at least they would spend the rest of their days happily. ‘Then I can expect them to make more artifacts.’

“It was by no means a difficult request for me.” The Emperor replied casually, breaking through Ian's thought path.

“I will only give you the entire property to be called yours,” added the emperor.

“Truly unnecessary -” Ian get started.

“And it will be my command as an emperor, not a gift.”

Ian did not answer.

And this will be the beginning of a new chapter for Greenriverdium, the capital of Greenriver, because of Ian Park, which will be a national treasure and highlight throughout the history of the empire.
