“What is this?”

A land deed lying conspicuously on the ground, and in his own field at that? It was a suspicious situation for anyone to see.

Tap. Tap.

Sejun lightly touched the land deed with his Myler’s hoe to check if it posed any danger. Fortunately, it seemed harmless. Naturally, a land deed wouldn’t attack him.

Sejun was only being overly cautious because of his prior experience dealing with land deeds.

“Hahaha. Well, it’s safe until I open it.”

Just as Sejun was confidently reaching out to pick up the land deed,

Flap. Flap.

-What are you doing?

Kaiser flew in.

“Ah, Lord Kaiser, what brings you here?”

-I felt spatial magic here a moment ago and was checking it out.

“Spatial magic?”

At Kaiser’s words, Sejun hurriedly looked around. There might have been a dangerous intruder.

-Relax. There’s no suspicious figures around.

“Phew. Really?”

Relieved by Kaiser’s words, Sejun once again tried to pick up the land deed.

But then,

-Wait! I can sense remnants of spatial magic from there.

Kaiser pointed at the land deed.

“Really?! From this?”

Sejun hurriedly backed away from the land deed. It was indeed a dangerous item.

-Hmm. It’s Brachio’s magic. How dare she! To do this…

Kaiser inspected the traces of magic left on the land deed.

“Lord Kaiser?”

-Sejun, you were in danger just now. If you had touched it, you would’ve been immediately transported straight to the Green Tower .

Brachio had cast a spell on some of the land deeds sent to the Black Tower, so that if one touched them, they would activate immediately. Sejun’s prior experience with land deeds saved him.

“Really?! Thank you for stopping me.”

-Kahaha. You owe me, understand?

“Yes. I’ll give you five bottles of soju.”

-Good. I’ll take this and inspect it. Kahaha.

Flap. Flap.

Delighted by Sejun’s response, Kaiser deactivated the magic spell cast on the land deed, took it, and flew away.

Sejun, left alone,

“Time to sleep.”

Sejun went home and fell asleep alone.

“Puhuhut. Jeto, thank you, meow!”

As he placed the five land deeds into his bag, Theo thanked Jeto.

“Then, I’ll see you at the Red Ribbon Kingdom’s founding ceremony.”

“Got it, meow! Bye, meow!”

“Goodbye.”

After Jeto disappeared,

“Paeten, follow me, meow!”

“Yes.”

Theo took Paeten and went somewhere. He intended to visit the Association Chairman Mason of the Wandering Merchant Association and complain about Paeten, who had troubled and disregarded him.

As Theo was heading to the Chairman’s office with Paeten,
