() With a cold snort, the steward looked at the person with a rather arrogant expression, completely ignoring the painful drama performed by the dwarf, and said: "Save it for yourself, magicians from the countryside. Apart from these four, they are still rare. Besides the dwarves, what else can catch my eye?" After saying that, he turned around and said at the same time: "If you have considered selling them, let's talk about it again. Otherwise, I suggest you leave by yourself to save yourself the trouble. Disgrace yourself.”
The two apprentices and several despised dwarves were very angry when they heard someone talking nonsense. Fen's face was expressionless, as if he didn't hear it. Maybe she was really in a fuzzy state. This situation was quite common for the former Demon King. As for someone who had contact with the other party, he shrugged indifferently and said nothing more.
The one-eyed girl who brought people here actually shares the same hatred as everyone else. He stuck out his tongue and made a face in the direction of the steward who had left.
"Who is that annoying guy?" Halumi asked this new friend.
"He is one of the many children of Marquis Shaobo, named Thomas Shaobo. Marquis Shaobo is one of the main sponsors of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce. I heard that a child will be sent here to look after that part of their property. Because he was not favored, he was exiled here. But I haven't seen him do anything serious here, he just makes people annoying everywhere."
It sounds like Mauerjit is also quite dissatisfied with that noble. It's just that as a noble, he actually wears the steward's clothes that are regarded as servants to them. Speaking of which, that person's character is quite special.
Coupled with the one-eyed girl's comments, it made someone feel that as the saying goes, there are nine out of ten dandy pants, and one of them will not live long. Someone is lost in the world, and I have never seen many people with good backgrounds and good brains. However, such self-righteous smart people like to test others with a condescending attitude.
Just like the person who had his arm ripped off by Fen not long ago can be classified as the very unlucky kind. In someone's eyes, it's the kind of unlucky guy who wants to get into trouble, but who knows that the driver of the car really didn't care, ran over the person, and even turned on the R gear before he died.
Now, although I don't know why he deliberately pretended to be like this, someone subconsciously wanted to stay away from this kind of person. It's very tiring to be a friend with such a scheming person. Not to mention anything else, just talking about where this place is, the headquarters of the Pilsen district branch of the Magician Association, the school city, it is not too much to compare this place to the capital of a country. What nobleman was exiled to a place that might be more prosperous than his own territory?
So someone is pretty sure that the man is not as simple as he seems. But the more this happens, the less I want to deal with that person.
Fortunately, we don’t have to listen to a few girls complaining too much to the dwarves. After a while, the real owner that Maurit brought us to see should appear. She was a noble lady. Although there were a few strands of white hair on her temples, her luxurious temperament could not be concealed by the simple silver jewelry. Wearing a decent dress and fluffy skirt, she could unconsciously attract everyone's attention as she walked slowly step by step.
Some women become deformed as they age, and sometimes look hideous. But some women become more and more fragrant with age. You have to see such a person with your own eyes to understand the meaning of the idiom "the charm remains". And the person in front of me has such charm.
However, before she could get closer, the one-eyed girl flew into the arms of the noble lady. Like a docile kitten, nuzzling and coquettishly. "Mrs. Audrey. I miss you so much. I miss you so much."
"Well, we just met yesterday." The noble lady was also quite skillful, stroking the girl's messy hair as if petting a cat.
Seeing Maurit's satisfied look, the two of them were also ready to make a move. Not to mention the two girls who had not enjoyed maternal love for nearly ten years, even someone himself was thinking that it would be very comfortable to be touched by her like this.
But those dreams never came true. After properly appeasing Mauerjit, the noble lady also turned her attention back to the guests. She knelt down and said, "Good day, distinguished guests. Is there anything I can do for you?"
He returned the favor with the etiquette of a magician. Considering that I am not familiar with the etiquette of Midland nobles, this is the safest way to avoid making a joke. But someone's first question was a bit sharp. He asked curiously: "You are obviously a noble, but you also personally handle the business matters?"
"Even if I can't increase the property left by my late husband, I shouldn't destroy it. At least until the children he left behind grow up, all I can do is try my best to protect it."
The lady's answer contained so much information that it made someone laugh a few times. Like 'his' child instead of 'my' child, there is so much to ponder in the difference in wording. Just after hearing it, I also thought about it a lot, so Lin was a little embarrassed.
But the woman didn't take it seriously and said, "This is not a place to discuss business here at the gate. Let's find another place." After saying that, she asked the waiter to lead everyone to the reception room in the chamber of commerce. She was held by the one-eyed girl's arm and walked together.
The girl also showed off her newly acquired glasses as if to show off, and talked about the new world she saw in her eyes. And those words also made the lady pay more attention to this group of strangers. In addition to being a guarantee of force, magicians also have another quality for people like her - business opportunities. Not to mention the one who often performs miracles.
The reception room of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce is like a bar. The various facilities and designs are so luxurious that it is the first time someone comes to the Lost Land.
After inviting everyone to take their seats, Mauerjit formally introduced everyone: "In front of you is the owner of the Longgen Mountain territory, the merciful person who loves charity, Countess Audrey Sandor." Then, she turned to another person. One direction, said: "These are friends from out of town, Halumi, Kaya, um..."
This girl who got stuck halfway through the introduction is really an incompetent middleman. But looking at the expression that was so embarrassing that she was about to cry, no one planned to continue to embarrass her. A few dwarves whose favorability had sprouted were the first to introduce themselves. Of course, each title is longer than the last, especially those that make people confused about what "Rock Savior" and "Peace Armed Destroyer" are.
When it was Fen's turn, she finally came to her senses. He nodded slightly and only said his name. "Fanny Tikal." The finale is actually someone standing at the end of the horizontal line. He doesn't want to be like the dwarf and think of a long and smelly line for himself. title. He simply introduced himself: "Gabrash Tripwood, a magician from Sijia District."
Upon hearing this name, the one-eyed girl became uneasy. She turned to look at the teacher who was her new friend, and said in surprise: "Hey! You are the magician who was offered a bounty of xbarvbar kire (15,000 gold)." She realized that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have said. , Mauerjit quickly covered his mouth.
Although someone does not realize that he is a famous person, Lin is not surprised when his identity is exposed. Just like what the one-eyed girl said, the reward has been increased to fifteen thousand gold coins. For many people in the Lost Land, it is an unimaginable number, and it will naturally bring a lot of attention to the person receiving the reward. '.
In response, Lin just laughed and asked jokingly: "It's me. So, are you interested in that bounty?"
The one-eyed girl's head shook like a tambourine, and the noble lady in front of her smiled slightly and said, "I don't like trading human lives. It's too heavy for a woman."
"This is really something to be thankful for. It seems that we do have some business to do. Then Count Sandor..."
"Please just call me Audrey. I think we should be good friends. And it seems like you are that kind of person."
What he said... no one knew how to answer it.
Seeing Lin's embarrassed posture, Audrey covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, and said: "What I mean is that I'm not very good at chatting. I really want to get to the point directly and finish talking as soon as possible and then do my own thing. Very good." The style of a magician doesn’t look like that of a noble.”
I mean this. Lin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and said: "I always think that small talk is something that two people do when they are free. If the other person is busy, they have to occupy the other person with trivial things. It’s a sin to use up your time, and it can easily lead to resentment. I feel this personally. After all, time is money.”
When Audrey heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Time is money, well, what a good sentence. It's true, that's right."
"Yeah, right. It's really unbearable to meet the kind of uncles and aunts who just want to catch you and gossip. And those gossips that have nothing to do with you will only make people feel uncomfortable. No; if it was related, it would be embarrassing; the ones who hurt the most are the ones asking questions."
"That's right." Audrey said politely.
"I still remember what I was most afraid of at the time were the three kinds of tricks from my relatives. Which school do you go to, where do you work, and do you have a girlfriend? I would ask the same questions in turn every time I saw them. I want to say, Auntie, I just said the same answer last time. It has only been three days from the last time to this time. In these three days, will I change schools? Will I change jobs? ? Is it possible to be detached? Did you think it was thirty years?..." Someone seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and was talking to himself.
At this time, a group of listeners in the reception room gathered together silently and looked at each other heart to heart. Halumi even lowered her voice and whispered: "Occasionally, we meet people like this."
"Yes, such a person." Kaya agreed. Then everyone secretly glanced at the man who claimed that he was not good at small talk, but was talking nonsense.
