Cale fed his three children with a ton of food before sending out these kids that averaged 7 years of age and greeting his first guest.

"I do not know what you stole, but you did something big." It was Billos.

"I guess I am a bit famous these days."

Billos shook his head at Cale, who did not seem to be injured at all. He could see Cale starting to drink while claiming to still be injured. "You indeed are famous, young master Cale. But is it okay for you to drink?"

"There's no reason for me to lie in front of you."

Billos smiled as he filled Cale's empty cup. He then handed a magic box over to Cale. "Here are your requested items. Thank you for returning the items from last time."

Cale had returned the other items to Billos through Choi Han. Cale caressed this new box of items as he looked toward Billos.

Cale had already decided how to use the first of the two opportunities to use the golden plaque. He decided to buy some time.

Cale decided to buy some time for the moment when the Northern Knights, a dangerous existence for not just Roan Kingdom but also the Breck Kingdom and the other mid-northern kingdoms, started to head south.

To be more specific, other than the Northern Knights, there were also the Empire at the center of the Western Continent, the mage slayer, and the Queen of the Southern Jungle. Cale decided to buy some time to get away from all of them for the time being.

It would be one thing if he was on his own, but now there were others he needed to care for. He needed to gather more information about them first before decided how to efficiently use them all.

"Billos."

"Yes, young master-nim?"

"Do you deal with properties too?"

"I don't, but I do know about what is going on lately."

Billos really was a merchant. He received information very quickly.

"The Western continent is on the verge of blowing up, and that is a great time for merchants like myself to make money."

"Merchants will run toward anything that will give them a profit."

Billos liked Cale, who understood merchants a lot. He also liked that Cale didn't beat around the bush and got right to the point.

"The Whipper Kingdom will become a mess soon. I'm sure you are already expecting it?"

Billos nodded his head. The non-mages and mages could no longer coexist in the Whipper Kingdom. "That is why I am trying to figure out what I can use to make money in that chaos. Young master Cale, what do you think will be the most profitable investment there?"

Cale easily answered Billos's question. "People."

The mages will lose the civil war and the Magic Tower will be destroyed. Then what would happen to the remaining mages?

All of the mages were not going to die at the end of the civil war.

The Whipper Kingdom was the Western continent's greatest supply of magic devices.

There were many mages who stayed far away from power and politics, but there will be nowhere for those types of mages in the Whipper Kingdom after the civil war.

In the novel, Crown prince Alberu Crossman was going to target this issue. As for the destroyed Magic Tower, Rosalyn was the highest-tier mage who decides to create a new Magic Tower in a different location.

Billos was a very sharp person. "You're thinking that the mages will look for a new home."

Cale did not give Billos a direct answer.

The mages needed to lose in the Whipper Kingdom. That was the only way for the Whipper Kingdom to move to a better future.

However, Cale did not put much weight onto those things because he was sure his actions so far wouldn't effect the Whipper kingdom at all.

However, there are something he wanted from the war. The Western Continent's greatest supplier of the highest-grade magic devices. Cale needed the things that will remain after the civil war.

"Immediately let me know once the Magic Tower is destroyed."

"...May I ask why?"

Cale grinned and mysteriously responded. "You'll find out when it happens."

The Magic Tower. Cale was planning on purchasing it. The Magic Tower will be filled with irreparable broken magic devices after the civil war.

Cale also knew the method to purchase this Magic Tower. Alberu also will not be able to do anything about Cale's actions.

"I'm looking forward to it."

Cale nodded his head in agreement. He was looking forward to it as well.

Buying the Magic Tower will buy him some time. It will give him time to protect himself from danger while making more accurate plans for his future actions. It will be very expensive, but ...

'Not like it is my money.'

Billos saw the evil smirk on Cale's face and his expectations went up. "Then I will contact you when it happens."

"Okay. I look forward to it."

Cale said goodbye to Billos, his first guest. He then greeted his second and last guest. Well, more like the second guest rushed into the room.

Cale looked toward the terrace window that was open, before flinching at the existence that rushed in through the window. "What is this?"

A clay doll the size of his palm climbed in through the window. On and Hong jumped into Cale's arms in fear. Cale patted them to calm them down.

It was because the expression on the clay doll was terrifying. It looked more like a zombie than a doll.

Raon spoke into Cale's head with magic as usual at that time.

– I feel the power of a God.

"Ah." Cale blurted out someone's name. "Cage"

The crazy priestess.

Once he did that, the clay doll that did not have any eyes or ears but only a mouth started to speak. "I knew you would recognize me, young master Cale. This doll is connected to me. It is a single-use item that can only listen and talk."

She really was skilled enough to be called a necromancer.

Cale looked toward the youngest child. He was smart to talk into Cale's mind, but did not turn invisible. He seemed to have figured out right away that it could only listen and speak, but could not see.

'Just how strong is my Raon? I'm so proud.'

But then the clay doll started to speak, cutting off his thought. "We are leaving the capital today. I'm sure young master Cale does not like us contacting you like this."

'Correct. Absolutely correct. You scared my children.'

"However, Taylor said he had something he wanted to tell you."

" 'Young master Cale when I go take back my position, no, when I am one level higher than my original position, I will return to pay you back for your help.' is what he wanted me to tell you."

"There was no need to tell me. I've already know that."

"I see."

Cale looked into the empty eye sockets of the ugly clay doll.

"Even still, Taylor and I both need somewhere to share the news when we get what we desire."

"Do whatever you want."

The clay doll started to smile at Cale's words before it started to melt. On and Hong dug even further into Cale's clothes in order to hide after seeing the doll melt away.

"Then please be healthy, young master Cale." The clay doll disappeared without leaving any traces behind.

Raon stared at the empty spot where the clay doll stood for a bit before looking toward Cale. "Then is that when I can get my revenge?"

Once Taylor Stan returned to power and became the master of Marquis Stan's estate, the current Marquis and Venion will both need to face the wrath of this Black Dragon.

"Yes. I'll let you do whatever you want at that time."

"Great." Raon made up his mind about when to get his revenge after hearing about Marquis Stan's estate's current situation from Cale.

He was going to strike Venion and the Marquis when they were at their lowest point. He was going to show them despair and make them suffer.

The Black Dragon flapped its wings happily. Cale stared at the dragon for a while, after he put down the two kittens, he reached out to hug the Dragon.

Cale heard Raon mutter his revenge plan in his head and couldn't help speaking his opinion. "You know, Raon, I also have a person that I must get revenge on. But someone once told me that I shouldn't focus on the pain I've experienced but to find happiness for myself."

Raon stopped thinking about all those plans once he heard what Cale said. He turned his thought to Cale's words.

Cale looked at the three children under his care. "I'll definitely make sure you have your revenge, only that would make you not having any regret. But don't focus on it until you forget the family around you. Okay?"

He saw the siblings nodded their head, however, Raon looked confused. "I..."

"It's okay not to think so much. You're still young. The most important thing to remember is that you have your siblings, and you have me. There are a lot of people who loved you now, you're not alone." Cale patted his head.

"Okay." Raon buried his head into Cale's embrace and mumbled softly. "I'm not alone."

Cale patted him on the back and smiled at the other two. He got two smiles in return.

*************************************

Naturally, the next morning, Cale was standing in front of the carriage early in the morning.

Rosalyn, Choi Han, and Lock saw them off. Cale looked at the three of them with a troubled expression.

"Cale-nim, if you think you see that mage bastard, please tell Raon to kill him right away. All you have to tell him is to blow his head up so that he is not useless like me, who was only able to cut off an arm."

Choi Han didn't have a chance to ask Cale about Raon's name but it wasn't the first thing in his mind right now.

He was curious and surprised and suspicious, but he vowed to trust Cale, so until he returned from helping Rosalyn, he would keep his curiosity to himself first.

The reason for Cale's troubled face was the fact that Choi Han was spewing vicious things from early in the morning.

"I will definitely get stronger and come back! So make sure you listen to the young master while I am gone. Think seriously about the thing I told all of you last time. It is for your future. We all need to get stronger now." Lock was surrounded by his 10 younger siblings and telling them what was on his mind.

Rosalyn was whispering with her Raon-nim inside of the carriage, and it was so quiet that even Cale could not hear. "Raon-nim, this is the textbook on Roan Kingdom's alphabet, and this is the one for the continent's common language."

"Thank you, good Rosalyn. Human taught the great me before, I am great and mighty, so I have already learnt most of it."

Raon had been calling Rosalyn as 'good Rosalyn' since the time she stepped in to stand in front of Cale to protect him in the plaza. And Rosalyn was ecstatic to have her name called by a dragon.

"Absolutely. Raon-nim is great and mighty. I pray that you stay healthy and learn everything you need to know. I will help you find books about other kingdom's language as well, if you like."

"That would be great. The great and mighty Raon will learn every language so I could help my Human when he need help."

"...I'm sure young master Cale will be happy to know that."

"Of course he will."

Cale didn't know what they were talking about, but hearing their laughter is good enough. Cale didn't need to know everything as long as they are happy.

He then turned toward Choi Han, who was still going on about what Cale should do in order to stay alive without him.

"Cale-nim, your rate of survival goes up if you blast anything away in one hit and then run away. Also-."

"Enough with the nonsense." Cale stoically spoke to Choi Han, who immediately shut up. "Just make sure you don't get hurt yourself. Haaa..."

"...Yes. I will make sure to do that."

Cale didn't want to see Choi Han's innocent smile anymore, so he got onto the carriage. It was so frustrated to see his innocent smile after all those vicious comments.

Rosalyn got off as soon as Cale got on. Cale felt the weight of the invisible Raon, as well as On and Hong, on his lap as he looked out the window toward Hans.

"Let's go."

The staff, who were all outside the residence to see them off, bade Cale goodbye. Cale understood why these staff members would delay their work and come out to see him off. That's why he told them it was fine, but they all still say that they wanted to come and see him off.

"Young master-nim, please return home safely!"

"It was our joy to serve you, young master-nim!"

"We look forward to seeing you again in the future!"

'What terrible nonsense. They changed their faces so fast.' He scoffed and then closed the carriage curtains.

That action was the signal to go. Cale's group had two more carriages than when they arrived, as they left the capital and headed to the Northeast.

Ubarr. Cale was headed to the sea that was filled with whirlpools for hundreds of years.
