I really just want to hang out in the magic world.

Just a while ago.

"Did you really plant this yourself?"

Sarkoda asked in a tone mixed with surprise and curiosity.

You know, the other party is not only a student of the Azure Dragon Tower, but also a young man from the Vodanaz Family, one of the few large families in the empire.

It's unbelievable that such a young boy could grow such fresh, shiny and tempting potatoes by himself.

“Yes, I grew it myself.”

Ruan Xiaozhe nodded calmly.

Seeing this, the other students from the Black Turtle Tower who were watching from the sidelines spoke up:

"Vodanaz planted it himself, yes, Tutantha."

"He treated us to a meal last time! It was delicious!"

"Is that so? Then what did you pay?" Sarkoda asked.

Upon hearing this, the students of the Black Turtle Tower were stunned.

...It's just food for nothing...

"Did you eat other people's food for nothing?"

Sarkoda said this viciously, looking as if he would swing a sledgehammer at any moment.

The students in the Black Turtle Tower were immediately trembling with fear.

The family motto of Tutankhamun’s family is simple: He who does not work, does not eat.

Even if you are a friend in the same tower, if you eat their food for free, it is an unforgivable evil! That is something that only a noble or knight without conscience would do!

"Uh... then... no..."

At this time, Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't bear it anymore and stood up.

"They helped me then, and I entertained them in return."

"!"

The students of the Black Turtle Tower looked at Ruan Xiaozhe with emotion.

"Vodanaz...!"

"Right, that is it!"

"We did help Vodanaz!"

After hearing this, Sarkoda relaxed his expression.

"That's good. I was worried that you would eat other people's food for free."

"How is that possible, Sarkoda?"

"What I hate most is getting something for nothing, Sarkoda."

"Got it." Sarkoda waved his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

Ruan Xiaozhe looked at Sarkoda who was about to leave and asked, "Do you want to take a potato with you?"

There was a reason why Ruan Xiaozhe asked Sarkoda if he wanted to bring a potato.

The potatoes he grew were loved by everyone, even the princess praised them highly.

Although Ruan Xiaozhe was somewhat skeptical of her followers' claims, he thought that the princess would say whatever she ate was delicious and was a big eater...

And just now, Sarkoda was staring at the potatoes in Ruan Xiaozhe's basket.

Maybe he particularly likes potatoes, or maybe he has a grudge against potatoes...

"…No, I don't need it. I don't have anything to pay for it right now."

"Even if I give it to you for free, you can."

"Don't insult me, Vodanaz. Dwarves of the Tutantha clan never accept free charity."

"But you are not a dwarf..."

Before Ruan Xiaozhe could finish his words, Sarkoda left in a hurry, as if he would be tempted by the potato if he looked at it any longer.

……

"These are tough times for us thieves."

When Ratford saw Ruan Xiaozhe, he nodded and told him what had happened.

Originally, the students of the Black Turtle Tower had different backgrounds, so they were all independent and worked separately.

But over time, prominent leaders emerge.

Sarkoda Tutankhamun was such a dwarf... no, such an elf.

With his outstanding magical skills and rock-hard sense of responsibility, more and more people are following Tutankhamun.

"Then why did Nilia..."

Ruan Xiaozhe suddenly felt sorry for Neilia.

Nilia had also provided a lot of help to the students of the Black Turtle Tower. Although they all liked Nilia, they did not regard her as a leader they could rely on.

This is the exact opposite of Sarkoda.

"Is it because of the difference between dark elves and other elves? No, it doesn't seem to be because of that."

Regardless, Sarkoda's followers grew in number, and the scale of the black market run by the Black Turtle Tower also grew.

Upon hearing the news, students from the Azure Dragon Tower and White Tiger Tower also began to come here to exchange supplies.

So problems arise.

—"Why does this thing cost five loaves of bread?"

——"You can't do this here!"

——"Hey, this coffee is fake! Give me back the bread!"

——"You can't return the purchase! And I said from the beginning that this is fake coffee made from dandelions!"

As students from other towers come and go, problems will naturally increase.

But the students of the Black Turtle Tower were unable to use force when facing students from noble or knight families.

Therefore, the students of the Black Turtle Tower had to seek help from the most trustworthy person, not Nilia, but Sarkoda.

Sarkoda accepted the request after consideration, but he asked everyone to abide by their own rules.

"If you want people in other towers to follow my rules, you must abide by them first," Sarkoda said seriously.

——"Got it, Tutankhamun!"

——"I will definitely follow your rules!"

“Remember, he who does not work, does not eat!”

——"Good rules!"

——"As expected of Sarkoda!"
