Chapter 1009 – #242_Magical College Tycoon (4)

One.
I told you in advance.
The dirty method is not a foolish strategy like ‘swindle all the emerald tablet’s key personnel and make them convert’.
There are three major difficulties with this operation, which I don’t know where to start with.
The first is that it is a bad thing for lovers who only look at Siu.
The second is that it is not realistic at all.
The last is that it would be too easy to respond.
Count Cagliostro is not stupid, and the high-ranking officials of the Emerald Tablet must be.
In other words, isn’t it a sloppy operation that collapses even with an official letter and a little bit of circumstantial evidence saying, ‘Since we are scouting for handsome men who don’t even become Shin Si-woo, each member should be careful’?
Rather, it will be able to turn Siwoo into a laughing stock due to shallow tricks, and it will bring ‘Shin Siwoo’s horny male cat talk’, which has been silenced at best, to the surface again.
Therefore, the choice was to seduce only one helper.
Although Emerald Tablet has more frequent external exchanges and looser discipline than the Jinrijinmyeong Academic Society, it is thorough in information management as befits a large academic society.
When I tried to look into the internal circumstances, there were many cases where it was full of superficial information.
Can’t you tell just by looking at how they built and united in a castle in the city called ‘Castle’?
What was needed was a pipeline capable of obtaining inside information, and the fitter was the Moiety Baron.
He has a moderate liking for Siwoo, and although he is far from the center of power, he is well-versed in internal affairs because he is a key member of the society.
In addition, the mansion is outside the castle, so you can come and go secretly to avoid heavy surveillance, so it’s the best of the best.
Only today’s conversation yielded results that could not be known from personal investigations.
“I’m sorry, but…”
In fact, I don’t think it’s a good way to use other people’s feelings to gain advantage.
If it were Takasho, he would have said, ‘Aren’t you proud to have given me fresh love feelings and excitement that money can’t buy?’, But Siwoo doesn’t think so.
But what?
At this rate, the society established by investing hundreds of billions of dollars will become a water rocket or someone else’s honey box.
I’ll have to give you a good seat later.
All we need from Baron Moiety is to get trivial information, and we don’t plan to dig too deep, so let’s put down the debt at this point.
Now is the time to move.
First, let’s summarize the details of the information obtained from Baron Moiety.
‘As you might have guessed, Gehenna’s societies are connected by links large and small. When it comes to the emerald tablet, it is entangled with various academic societies and large and small interests.’
‘Especially, pension-related minor societies are financed by various magical tool-related projects, and there are not a few cases where castle subcontractors are involved in the proportion. If it’s a letter from the dean and a suitable example, it means that I’ll listen to pretty much any request.’
Even if it is not necessarily an alchemy-affiliated society, the influence of the Emerald Tablet throughout Gehenna is enormous.
Mana water is essential for various magic research, and the Emerald Tablet is the largest alchemy school in Gehenna that produces SSS-level magic water.
‘It’s not just that. Hey, I see the purpose and goal of the Chesed Society positively, but there must be many witches who don’t. Yes, it’s not just the truth, truth, truth, and truth conferences, but the minor societies are also closed. A lot of places don’t even state the requirements for joining.’
‘Some places may feel a sense of crisis that the rice bowl will be taken away by the ideology of the Hesed Society.’
‘When a large mart opens, the traditional market opposes it? I’m sorry, I’ve never been out in the present world…’
I would never have thought that the magic university built for the Hesed Society would attract such a wide aggro.
That’s something I hadn’t considered.
Fortunately, I also got the information I needed right away.
‘A small society that has little impact from the Emerald Tablet but has a solid internal structure?’
That’s it.
It is not known how far Aunt Callie may have gone, but the more Siwoo shows him struggling, the stronger she will tackle him.
In other words, in the early days when the pressure was loose on each minor society, efficient scouting should be done based on the information obtained from Baron Moiety.
‘Um… Blue Moon Royal Society and…’
First of all, the Blue Moon Royal Society is excluded.
It has more than 200 members, excellent research results, and a lot of great witches, but as you can guess from the name of the ‘Royal Society’, it is a group of pure-blooded orthodox witches.
In addition, it was also a conference where the influence of the Truth and Truth Conference instead of Castle was strongly influenced.
‘Golden Flame Pilgrimage, if we try again…’
Next is the Golden Flame Pilgrimage.
A society that boasts 170 members and unrivaled technology for multiple magic.
It’s a bit ambiguous here too.
Multiple magic refers to a methodology in which several witches join forces to use magic at a higher level.
As it is important for several people to move as one body, the solidarity among the members is higher than that of most gangsters.
It is not a group that can be moved by just one person.
‘It’s like a forget-me-not garden.’
All that remains is the forget-me-not garden.
It is the level of a club society with only 7 members, and it is even an alchemy-related society that studies the transformation of magical powers.
Then, how is the forget-me-not garden less affected by the castle, the epitome of the Alchemy Society?
This is because the core competencies and subcontractors provided by the forget-me-not garden are essential to Emerald Tablet.
‘You know that the process of making magical water is done through gathering, refining, activating, adjusting, and fixing, right?’
‘Adjustment is the process of changing the traits of activated magical powers to suit the purpose.’
‘Forget-me-not garden is an unrivaled leader in the field of rowing.’
‘Especially in the field of ‘adjustment’ of magic heavy water and ultra-high purity magic water.’
Since magic water is rolling everywhere in Gehenna, it may seem like an easy item to make somewhere, but the production of precision magic water used in full-scale magic research is closer to the magical semiconductor process.
It is a high value-added product produced by mobilizing precision technology from a primitive magic attribute source.
The fact that production facilities require astronomical costs.
It requires highly concentrated technology and know-how in the production process.
The fact that it is absolutely necessary for various magical research and industries is consistent.
Therefore, the forget-me-not garden with its own technology can be free from the influence of other societies.
It won’t be easy, but if you can conciliate the president of that society, Siwoo will also have his own resistance.
It will cause disruptions in the production of magical heavy water and ultra-high pure magical water without subcontracting the forget-me-not garden.
“It is too late now…”
I have a chimney wanting to meet right away, but no matter how much I do, 5 in the morning is too early.
I want to send a letter saying that I want to have a secret meeting around tea time, and I want to take care of the rest before that.
The first to find was the chief librarian of the Valentinus Secretariat, Count Metis Gremory.
It was a fact that she knew early on that she was her morning witch, and when she applied for an interview, she was able to see her alone shortly after.
This is to guarantee the ‘information sharing agreement’ that is usually concluded between the academic society and the secretariat.
The role of the agreement is literally mutual exchange of information, and originally there was nothing to do other than guarantee it, but it seemed better to receive a definite answer from the castle or the academic conference or the judgment of Siwoo.
Count Gremory opened his mouth with the same calm expression as usual.
“It is not difficult. The secretarial high school knowledge is not my own.”
“This is an illustrative question in the sense of doubting the sincerity of the secretary of Valentinus, but is there any possibility that the agreement may be affected by external pressure?”
“Doesn’t exist. The Secretariat always maintains political neutrality. However, please note that if the research performance assigned each year is not met, we may unilaterally terminate the agreement. There is a grace period of up to three years for new founding societies, so we recommend that you complete your preparations before then.”
“Thanks for the advice.”
“Baron Shin Si-woo.”
As she bowed her head and was about to leave, Metis called and stopped Siwoo.
“The Valentinus Secretariat is politically neutral, but I personally support the Chesed Academy. I hope you will show great results.”
“Then will you look after me even if I don’t fill my quota?”
“No, principles are principles.”
She bowed her head, smiling at her for the first time in a while, who accepted her joke without a hint of her laughter.
The chief librarian of Metis was such a good person that I felt sorry for thinking she was a twisted, twisted witch at first.
Next is Takasho, who woke up early in the morning and looked at the store.
You may wonder what use Takasho has in this plan, but there is.
“Madame, it seems like you’re only asking for requests, so I’ve filled up the ‘sincere’. Take it.”
“Oh, baron, what else…! This Takasho, I didn’t mean to receive something like this.”
“Uh huh, even if I put it in. It is a clean thing.”
“Aigoo, baron… How can I thank you for this… ! Hwangsong’s reaction is coming! Takasho’s fountain show!”
The request was made while filming a skit in front of a box filled with gold coins.
That is ‘information gathering’ and ‘formation of public opinion’.
Rose Glass has now gone beyond a mere high-end hoppa to become Gehenna’s premier comprehensive entertainment company.
It has 250 employees, many of whom have close contact with high-ranking witches.
I don’t mean to ask for a pillow head lawsuit.
However, if you drink in front of a good-looking and courteous man, even a witch will be relieved.
Acquiring advanced information in this way is ‘information gathering’.
The madams of high-end salons in Gangnam, where high-ranking people in the political and business world gather, are not sucking money for investment.
At the same time, it forms a positive public opinion about Shin Si-woo.
For example, ‘Wow! Baron Shin Si-woo! You know! He is a hot figure these days. I heard another rumor, and I heard that Emerald Tablet imposed unfair sanctions. I don’t know, but wouldn’t it be nice if many witches could study magic more easily?’
As you can see from the scandal caused by Dandelion, Gehenna’s public opinion has a power that is different from that of simply ‘voters’.
The relationship between host and guest that Rose Glass pursues is not simply a sex party, but a relationship that provides an emotional bond.
Wouldn’t it be possible to intervene to some extent in this relationship? It is a kind of insurance that
“I originally felt that, but you have changed a lot?”
“If I fail the Chesed Society, I will fail. It’s not even my money.”
“If you fail, I will give you a job.”
Takasho, who put the gold coins in the store’s safe, giggled as he heard Shiu’s desperate circumstances.
It was to deliver only the business to Takasho and visit the mother-in-law to confirm the priority supply contract for magic tools, magic crops, and artifacts… Only.
I got an unexpected offer.
“I was going to talk about that part anyway. Do you have any plans for Siwoo to run it yourself?”
“Yes?”
Society Tycoon Quest, the biggest challenge of your life.
Things to do keep adding up.
