## Transcript

### Story Chat 1

Magda: Viviane， my appointment with Mr Xavier is today， isn't it?

Maid: Yes Lady， I've confirmed it.

Magda: OK， don't know if Mr. Xavier is still busy at the moment......?

Maid: I've put the things you've prepared in the carriage， Lady.

Magda: Good， then let's get going.

### Story Chat 2

Xavier: Lady Ellenstein， here you are.

Magda: Good afternoon， Mr. Xavier， you look very well today.

Xavier: Really? It's not so busy these days， so I've had time to rest for a while.

Black Shadow: Hey girl， are you looking for me to enchant? I'm telling you， I can do a great job of enchanting now! Xavier is out of a job!

Magda: Good afternoon， Mr. Black Shadow.

Xavier: I have read the document you sent and you have made good points about dealing with the mages out of the Spire.

Xavier: It's just that the Spire is so passive right now， everything I say is contradicted， Lou is in no position to help， and everything is a mess.

Magda: Yes， I fear that more and more mages are coming under the banner of the nobility and will become their personal armies and that the Spire will be isolated.

Xavier: Now， there is no ban on nobles employing mages in Finsel， but if a mage force did form outside the Spire， those mages would not， I fear， abide by the laws of Finsel.

Magda: I understand what you are saying and I have an idea that can make Spire more positive.

Xavier: Go ahead please.

Magda: The Spire can provide employment for these mages， and at least nominally， these jobs are arranged by the Spire.

Xavier: You mean let the Spire come forward?

Magda: Yes， most of the jobs that were given to people before were provided by the City Assembly， and some were the slums， just not the Senate.

Magda: The Senate also had a number of much-needed refurbishments， both of bridges and roads in the upper town， which it oversaw.

Xavier: Do you mean that I propose to the Senate to hire some mages in these works?

Magda: Yes， since the Senate agreed to hire the mages of Mr. Ramus， then there is no reason to reject the Spire to provide mages to participate in the construction of the city， right?

Xavier: Right， no reason to reject.

Magda: Since the mages were all out for the sake of the Finsel， it was important not to lose sight of the other.

Magda: This way， by you and the Spire stepping in， you will have access to many opportunities to be affiliated with the Senate， even the Knights， which you can negotiate.

Magda: And I think the Duke Olineaux will be on your side.

Xavier: I understand. Lou had said the same thing， but she seemed to feel little accomplishment in explaining it to me and left in a hurry.

Magda: Well， of course Lady Bavlenka can understand what I can see， but the position she is won't allow her to say so.

Magda: So I suggested that the Spire could step in and arrange work for the mages， and I could help with that as to how to arrange it.

Xavier: I see from your documents that you have settled many mages?

Magda: Well， people seem to be a little closer to the slum representatives than the registrar.

Xavier: Your status is just the icing on the cake， and the most important thing is that you're the one who's doing it， and no one else would be able to do it that well.

Xavier: The identity of the Master of the Spire only brings them a greater sense of oppression.

Magda: But you are very gracious I think. To be oppressive...... you are not that much.

Xavier: Really? All that's being bandied about out there is the Master of the Spire...... Well， it's all not very good reviews， I guess.

Magda: In that case， wouldn't this be a good opportunity to change those reviews?

Xavier: Change...... what others think of you? My teacher used to say that mages who care about what others think are useless mediocrities.

Xavier: And so did Black Shadow.

Magda: Well...... I see your point， mages are meant to be courageous and persistent， not caring what others think is the right thing to do.

Magda: In addition to being a Grand Master， you are also the Master of the Spire and your thoughts represent the will of the Spire.

Xavier: I know what you mean， Lady Ellenstein. I'm just not used to it.

Magda: Don't worry， if you are not good at something， I will find a way to help if you feel comfortable leaving it to me.

Xavier: Thanks for your kind words， Lady Ellenstein， but what am I going to do?

Magda: If you have any news， you can send me a letter.

Magda: I will pass on these messages in your name to mages who need work and who will not see you directly， but these mages get the goodwill of the Spire.

Xavier: ......I get it， I'll try my best to try some social rhetoric.

Magda: It's me that's bothering you......

Xavier: It's not your problem Lady Ellenstein， sometimes change isn't a bad thing， I'll give it a try.

Xavier: I am comfortable with these mages being managed by you. The Spire can't allocate staff and I'm not very good at that.

Magda: I understand that although they have no formal training， but they have come to Finsel， so they are part of Finsel now.

Xavier: But their presence would have caused disgust among some of the forces and would have shaken the attitudes of many.

Magda: So far， that is correct.

Xavier: Well， I probably get it， but I'm curious， how did you convince the mages?

Magda: Erm...... are you keen to know about these things? It's nothing special really， I wouldn't mind talking to you about it if you're interested.

Xavier: Well， I'd like to know， because those mages seem to run when they see me...... don't understand what they're thinking at all.",

Magda: The Spire is a place for them to look forward to and fear at the same time. Knowing that they can't get into the spire makes them subconsciously think they've done something wrong， right?

Xavier: Perhaps that is so? Because the mages who make it to the Spire are all gifted and have been taken away from their original families as children.

Magda: As a child? The parents of that child...... can't come and visit the child at the Spire?

Xavier: Well...... not being allowed to contact relatives anymore even grew up.

Magda: It turns out to be so strict......

Xavier: Hmmm， the look on your face...... is there something wrong with it?

Xavier: Is there something wrong with it? The look on your face tells me that you don't think so.

Magda: Well...... I know a lot less about Spire than you do， how to find the child of your choice and how to learn the spells， all from hearing others mention.

Xavier: Mages are very powerful， so willpower is especially important for them.

Magda: Is it possible to exercise more than normal willpower in a demanding way?

Xavier: Well， yes， if he can pass the training and test of the Spire， then he will definitely become an excellent mage.

Magda: I understand the principles that have always been upheld by the Spire， which is why you are such a wonderful mage.

Xavier: Strictness is what makes people improve， and that's what Spire has always thought.

Magda: Yes， you are not afraid of hard work， but perhaps there is another way for people to learn magic too?

Xavier: I don't understand， Lady Ellenstein， how one is to ensure that one has the willpower to control magic if it is done in a different way?

Magda: That's why we need to discipline them in some way， especially the civilian mages.

Magda: What about the fact that they are resigned to mediocrity or have decided that they are just ordinary people? It is only right that these people should have their own opportunities too.

Xavier: I don't quite understand...... but you're talking about the mages you've met， right?

Magda: Well， it doesn't seem like a bad thing for them to be able to choose what they do and don't do now?

Xavier: This...... is probably something I never thought about， sorry， I don't know how to answer you.

Magda: Ah， sorry， I got a bit ahead of myself!

Xavier: It's okay， Lady Ellenstein， I enjoy the time I get to talk to you as I please and I care what you think.

Magda: Call...... I'm glad you don't mind， but Mr. Shadow has been hanging around anxiously for a while now. Is it really all right?

Xavier: Huh? He's probably going to say something weird again， do you want to talk to him? My advice of course is not to listen to him......

Black Shadow: Boy， don't go too far， boy! You chat for a long time and not willing to let me say? I am really angry# $... \* & #...

Xavier: I knew this was the case， what about you...

Black Shadow: If you don't want me to talk， why don't you settle my enchanting salary? ¥%#%@#...

### Story Chat 3

Magda: Hoo ...... Mr Xavier is in a good mood today， is it because there is less trouble these days?

Magda: It's already this time back here， so let's go home early.

Magda: These are to be taken back to the Regent， and since Xavier has agreed with me， go to the Regent tomorrow.

Servant: Lady Ellenstein， Captain Alan from the City Guard is looking for you.

Magda: Mr. Alan? Let him in.

Alan: Lady Ellenstein， excuse me.

Magda: What brings you here? Please have a seat.

Alan: I happened to be on patrol in the neighbourhood and saw that your light was still on here.

Magda: I didn't realise I was busy until this point.

Alan: You've been busy with the mage lately， haven't you?

Magda: Yeah， I've heard that the City Guard occasionally gets complaints related mages?

Alan: That's what I'm here for， and thanks to you， there are now far fewer people coming to complain about the mages!

Alan: The mages who used to roam the streets， always arguing with everyone， kept everyone busy every day just trying to stop their arguing.

Magda: I remember that there were some mages in the City Guard， right?

Alan: Yeah， they've been helping out in the City Guard for a while now.

Magda: Because of the recent incident with the foreign mages， did it affect them too?

Alan: I was just about to say to you that people often treat our mages as if they were troublemakers.

Alan: Sometimes they get into trouble with other mages and take it out on us......

Magda: Ah? This is the kind of situation I should have expected.

Alan: So I wanted to ask for your help...... just didn't know if it would bother you.

Magda: Nowadays， people think that mages are all the same， and they also think that they all favour their own people.

Alan: The mages in the Guard have been living in Finsel for so long that they are no different from ordinary people.

Magda: I'll think about it， Mr. Alan.

Alan: Ah， yes， do you have any ideas?

Magda: I would like to make uniform merit badges for the mages of the City Guard as a way of thanking everyone for looking after the slums.

Alan: Merit badges?

Magda: Well， everyone has been following the City Guard for so long and contributing to the policing of the slums.

Magda: They are mages who are truly integrated into Finsel， and this is something that should be made known to everyone， so that in future all mages of Finsel have the opportunity to receive this badge.

Alan: Yes， they also drink and sing and snore in the middle of the night， just like ordinary people. And of course they don't cast spells for no reason.

Magda: If only people would like to have more contact with the mages， don't worry， I'll do this， but they need to wait for more days.

Alan: Thank you so much， Lady Ellenstein， everyone must be so happy to have your approval!

Magda: You are very kind， it is me who wants to thank everyone.

Alan: Then I'll go back first and tell them the good news.

Magda: I'll see you off， Mr Alan.
