Chapter 264 So I’m Taking Out a Loan to Buy a Mage Tower?

What do you want him to do?

The great magician laughed confidently. He turned over a page of the plan in front of him and pointed his fingertips on the form:

"After the review meeting discussed the plan you submitted before, there were some different opinions:

The budget committee stated that building water supply facilities, rebuilding sewers, and building infectious disease hospitals would consume too much and cannot afford such a high budget;

The Ministry of Emergency Management believes that strengthening patrols and strengthening vigilance can be used to prevent spies from spreading the plague;

The medical branch of the Conjuration School believes that as long as the source of the plague is blocked and it is not leaked, the city's medical power is sufficient;

City Hall does not support tax increases…”

Grete blinked. So, does the price of getting this high-level mage tower require him to come forward to accept questioning and convince the review committee?

"Do you want me to speak at the hearing? When will the meeting be held? Who are the magicians I need to convince?"

He leaned forward slightly and asked the other person. The white-robed mage smiled slightly, raised a finger, and shook it left and right:

"No, no, no, you have to do more than just speak. You need to convince the review committee to establish a public health agency responsible for the overall health security of Nevis City - and then win the position of the head of this agency."

What?

Gretel was stunned. Head of a public health agency? I?

I am a clinician!

I am not in the public health field!

In my previous life, although they were all majoring in medicine, they studied different majors! Students majoring in public health are not qualified to take the exam to become a practicing physician!

Also, there are so many big bosses from the Church of the God of Nature, the Temple of the God of War, and the high-level mages of the medical branch of the conjuration system, and you want me to be the person in charge?

Although it is my duty as a doctor, this profession is not suitable for me!

"This, I just need to convince the review committee, right? The head of the organization..."

Grete declined subconsciously. The white-robed mage coughed and turned another page:

"The positive and negative energy pools cost 5,000 contribution points each, the two trap magics each cost 2,000 contribution points, the constant secondary spell invalidation barrier and avoidance detection each cost 10,000 contribution points, and the arcane garden costs 1,000 contribution points.

The tower spirit upgrade costs 20,000 contribution points. If you want to add other protection and application magic, there are corresponding prices in the table, you can check it yourself.

Even if the invisible servant is given as a gift, in addition, I will give you a protective barrier from the Arcane Library, which can prevent insects, ants, rats, moisture, and automatically extinguish ordinary fires. You don’t have much of a collection of books yet, but those experimental records are worth collecting..."

As he spoke, Grete calculated silently. Upgrading from the normal version to the high-end version requires a total of 50,000 contribution points - even if he didn't spend the 10,000 points before, it would still be far from enough if he wanted to upgrade.

So, gentlemen of the jury, are you waiting for me here? If you want a high-level mage tower, you have to sell yourself to the Jury—oh no, work for the Jury and put up a front as a public security officer?

Grete suddenly had the feeling of cleaning out six wallets, taking on a 30-year mortgage, and buying himself a house. He couldn't help but complain:

"According to this standard, a magician cannot build a magician tower by himself, right?"

"Generally speaking, ordinary mage towers set up by the council in various cities require at least a level 5 mage to be qualified to preside over them. A mage born as a commoner who wants to have his own mage tower must save money to at least level 7, and he must The council has been waiting in line for several years." The archmage replied with a smile:

"As for the high-level mage tower, it is the one I just recommended to you - it is usually located in a county, and the magicians qualified to host it must be at least level 7 or 8. Do you want to build it yourself? If you don't rely on School, territory or family, starting from scratch..."

He spread his hands. Before the veins on Gretel's forehead jumped, he leisurely added:

"Generally speaking, if you save enough money to reach level 11, that's pretty much it."

Oh, it turns out it was really a loan to buy the Mage Tower. It should even be said that as a third-level magician - even if the research level is as high as the fourth level - he is eligible for a loan, thanks to the review committee's favor. Gretel thought for a moment:

"...So, what is the annual salary contribution of the public health commissioner appointed by the review committee?"

"...The main thing is that you have to prove that there is enough necessity to establish this department..."

Understand, just like attracting scientific research talents, the annual salary is not important, but what research conditions and how much research funds are provided are important. As part of the research conditions, the founder of a public health institution is enough to match a high-level mage tower.

"How about it, can you meet this condition?"

The white-robed mage observed Gretel with interest. Watching this young man look happy, deep in thought, and depressed for a while, I really can't help but want to laugh. After waiting for a long time, I knocked on the table and pushed the information on the Mage Tower:

"Which one to choose?"

Gretel lowered his head and thought. After a moment, he raised his head and smiled:

"I need information."

"Can."

"Do you have the population data, population distribution, number of births, deaths, and deaths of pregnant women and infants in Nevis City?"

"Some of them need time to sort out - but I can give them to you."

"Do you have a detailed map of Nevis City, the underground drainage system, the commercial area, the college area, the villa area, and the civilian area respectively marked out?"

"That's no problem." The Archmage shrugged. It's not a military map, this information is completely available.

"The tax records of Nevis City in the past few years must be accurate to the details——"

"Hey, that's almost enough!"

The Archmage began to have a headache. Given his authority, this information does not exist. It must pass the review committee's decision before it can be retrieved. Gretel doesn't care if he wants the same or two things. He wants more and more. Isn't this looking for trouble?

Isn't this kid really seeking revenge?

The Archmage glanced over suspiciously. Gretel rolled his eyes:

Without this information, what can I give you?

I still have to find a way to find an accountant!

When will the GDP of a city be calculated by myself?

"Next year's municipal budget will be prepared by mid-December at the latest. I hope you can apply for a hearing before then to convince the members of the review committee." Before the meeting ended, the Archmage told Grete:

"Of course, the location of your mage tower has basically been decided. Tomorrow you go to the site and take a look. If there are no problems, we will start building the foundation."

"that……"

"What?"

Gretel scratched his head. For the first time since entering the door, he showed a somewhat embarrassed smile in front of the Archmage:

"This mage tower belongs to me from top to bottom, right? I mean, even the land is mine, right?"

It won’t be taken back to the parliament after 70 years, right?

"Go away! If the land is not yours, do you still want to build a floating tower?!"
