"What?"
Short Touch Wand had heard the Earl clearly, but he could hardly believe that the lord of a city would personally try to persuade him to stay.
"I hope you can settle down in this city. Of course, I will provide you with a residence. Whether it is an Alchemy Workshop or a manor like this one, neither will be a problem." Nicaton Earl paused briefly before adding, "Naturally, I will also offer appropriate compensation."
Free housing! And not just an ordinary house—a manor and an Alchemy Workshop!
Just hearing those two words made Short Touch Wand feel as if he were floating into the sky. Back home in Steel Country, he had still lived in an ordinary communal apartment!
A manor and an Alchemy Workshop were things he could probably only possess in his dreams.
But now? It seemed that as long as Short Touch Wand nodded, he could move into the grand house of his dreams. Forget settling here by himself—he could even bring his entire family over.
But...
"What can I do for you, Earl?" Short Touch Wand knew his own limits. Although he was an apprentice at Nolan Mage Tower, he was only barely considered a highly gifted mage apprentice.
There were likely countless apprentices like him in Nolan. The title of genius was far, far beyond his reach, and he was only an apprentice—not a Spellcaster or alchemist capable of standing on his own.
What use was there in a noble lord spending so much effort to recruit someone with such meager qualifications?
"I heard from Miss Heimina that you are a member of Scarlet Serpent in World Rift?" Nicaton Earl asked.
Heimina! How dare you betray me!
Short Touch Wand glanced at Heimina, who was sitting on the other side of the table.
