"Well, now that you know each other, I'll go back. Www!QUAbEn-XIAoShUo!cOM" Rex said, putting down the tea cup.
Count Spartian was stunned. Princess Rex came here in person just to introduce Salin to him? He looked at Salin carefully and saw no clues. This young mage has a calm temperament and a calm expression. He is clearly smiling, but there is no smile in his blue eyes.
He looked like an aristocrat. Count Spartian commented secretly in his heart.
Salin also stood up. Rex waved his hand and said, "The rest of them will go back with you. You and the count can talk more."
They refer to the four black iron sword masters. Salin knew in his heart that since the princess was creating momentum for him, he had to handle the affairs of the Clyde family properly. According to Rex's habit, his task this time is very heavy, and the rewards will be great. That Juan's eyes were burning. He must have been thinking about this position for a long time.
Salin remained calm and sat back slowly.
Rex only drank a cup of tea he brought with him to Clyde's house and said a few words, but Salin was very impressed. Although Rex is usually polite to mages, he is very clever when facing nobles. No matter how many means this Earl Spartian has, he can't use it on the princess. On the surface, he is fully responsible. If there is a problem, Rex can kick him away.
It would be difficult for the Clyde family to bribe them, as no one knew what their relationship was with the princess.
Salin sat on the chair, a little bored, thinking about how to negotiate business with the cunning earl, and unknowingly picked up the teacup left by Rex.
There were only a few green leaves left in the tea cup, and there was half a red lip mark on the inside of the white cup. Nelise smiled beside her and lifted the teapot and poured water for Salin. The water was a little cold, Salin thought deeply, but did not drink it.
Rex didn't explain anything to himself. He couldn't make his own decisions. This time it was just to keep in touch and get to know people related to the Clyde family. The details could not be planned out until he returned to Bishui County. Salin reads a lot and understands that establishing business relationships is as complex a matter as learning magic. Otherwise, so many low-level mages would not have to suffer poverty.
This time I don’t have to do anything else but get to know Aini’s parents. Aini is a bit difficult to interact with, but he also attaches great importance to family ties. He must establish a good relationship with his parents before continuing.
I just didn’t know that Aini’s parents were imprisoned in the imperial capital, or just under house arrest in disguise.
After a long time, Count Spartian returned to the living room with his son. The four black iron sword masters sat motionless and steady behind them. Salin felt confident.
"Your Majesty the Earl." Salin called out lazily, and it was hard to tell from his accent that he was a Scotian.
"Master Salin." Spadian sat down again. Seeing Nailis serving Salin, he didn't know how to start. Judging from Salin's dress and demeanor, he is someone who is not short of money. Looking at Nailisi’s beauty, it would be difficult to seduce him with beautiful women. Promise power? As an earl himself, Salin listened directly to the princess and was protected by four strong men.
It's like a tiger meets a hedgehog and doesn't know what to eat. The most difficult thing to deal with in the world is a mage who is not short of money, but Salin is such a mage.
"Actually, business is secondary to this visit. I want to meet someone." Salin knew that he was no match for discussing business with the count. Fortunately, this matter was not rushed. There were three business families in the imperial capital, and the count would not let him easily. Go choose another goal.
"Who does the mage want to see?" Count Spartian was a little strange. Bishui County has always been closed to the inside and outside, and no family's business has ever reached that level. It can be said that Kushui County is a closed world. Who does this mage want to see
"Enie O. Clyde." Salin said, taking a sip of cold tea. There was a hint of sweetness in the tea, like Rex's breath.
"Huh?" Count Spartian's expression was a little grim, but he was relieved immediately. It is impossible for Salin to be from the Holy See, and it is even less possible for Princess Rex.
"Aini is my friend. After we broke up with Phoenix, I have been thinking about him a lot." Salin put down the tea cup and said leisurely.
"Aini..." Count Spadian hesitated. Aini was a magic genius, but unfortunately he was destroyed by the people of the Holy See. But who would have thought that he would practice undead magic again. The family is not prepared to publicize this matter. Is Salin reliable
Salin saw through Count Spartian's thoughts at a glance. This was not because he was smart, but because Salin already knew what Aini was going to do. A necromancer is still very important to the Clyde family.
Salin looked at the count's son. The young man had his head lowered, as if he was not interested in listening to what he was saying, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. If Ani becomes a necromancer, will it affect this young man's status in the family
"Your Majesty, Earl, has Aini already purchased the Necronomicon Flame?" Salin deliberately pretended to be surprised.
Count Spartian did not answer directly, but felt relaxed in his heart. It seemed that Salin and Aini had a really good relationship, otherwise Aini would not have told him about the undead flame. Earl Spadian nodded and said: "He is not in the imperial capital, and it is not convenient to practice here."
"That's really a pity. Can I meet his parents? There's something I want to pass on to you."
Count Spartian said cheerfully: "This is no problem. Aini's parents are here, Master Salin..."
Salin stood up immediately and said with a smile: "That's great, I'll go see him right away."
Spartian did not expect Salin to be so happy and was caught off guard. Salin had already taken a few steps and was about to pull his sleeve affectionately.
Salin thought to himself, you, the Earl, have only a business relationship with me, but Aini and I have been together through life and death. It's easier to interact with his parents than with an old guy like you. Aini's parents caused so much trouble, but they were just under house arrest in the imperial capital, so they must have a high status in the family.
Rex would have to take back those four black iron sword masters sooner or later, so it would be best for him to find a backer in the Clyde family. Aini's parents will take good care of him if he has any dealings with him in the future.
"Okay, okay..."
Count Spartian still did not escape, and was pulled by Salin towards the door. If he were a pure noble, of course he would not do this, but Salin was not the one. As he walked, he turned back and said to Sikka and others: "You guys stay here, wait for me to come back."
Count Spartian had no choice but to turn around and tell his son to accompany his guests.
Salin held the Count's sleeve and did not let go. He chatted with the Count while walking, making Count Spartian unable to say anything relevant.
Along the way, everyone who saw this situation was surprised and didn't know where this young mage was. The business matters have not yet been settled, and Count Spartian does not want to let go of Salin's hand, so he can only endure it.
Not long after, the two people came to a separate courtyard. This courtyard is not like Qin Yin's style. It is somewhat similar to Joey's home. It has a separate wall and courtyard gate, not surrounded by buildings.
There were two swordsmen guarding the door. Salin could tell at a glance that these two men were probably already senior swordsmen.
"My Lord Earl." The two senior swordsmen saluted, but made no intention of opening the door. Salin noticed that the courtyard door was unlocked and the steps were clean, as if they were swept regularly. The little rain that had just fallen made the front door extremely clean, without a trace of dust.
"Go and tell Ferlett that Aini's friends are coming to meet him."
Salin found it strange. If Aini's parents were imprisoned, why didn't the count go in directly? Didn't he even have the power? He was thinking that a swordsman had already gone in to report, and not long after, he came out and said: "Earl, Sir Felett asked him to go in by himself."
Saleen looked at the count, who shrugged and spread his hands. Salin said: "Your Majesty, your... son, you'd better go and have a look. I'm a little worried about my two men."
What Salin suddenly thought of was Nailis. If she suddenly had any weird thoughts, don't cause trouble in the living room. The earl's son seemed less shrewd than his father, so it was normal for him to be tricked by Nailis.
Ignoring the count's stunned expression, Salin stepped up the steps and entered the courtyard gate.
There is a stone path in the yard, with land on both sides and filled with flowers. The new rain has cleared, the flowers are fragrant, and the moist air is fragrant to breathe. In the front is a stone house, two stories, very large. There was a colonnade in front of the door. Salin went up the steps and knocked gently.
"Come in." A gentle voice sounded. Salin pushed open the door and saw a huge magic laboratory in front of him.
The entire first floor of the stone house is open. Except for the buildings on both sides, there are more than 20 magic experimental tables and hundreds of shelves of various sizes in the room. There was a huge glass window in front of them, and the light poured in and shone on the two people.
The man has red hair and is tall, while the woman has black hair and a slender figure. The man and woman, both in their thirties, were not wearing mage robes, just a simple set of linen shorts. The woman was okay, Salin felt strong elemental fluctuations in the man's body.
This feels a bit like Faerun. If he had put on a magic robe, Salin probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
The man was concentrating on doing magic experiments. Salin stood at the door, not approaching, just waiting. On the test bench, six metal pillars inlaid with gems formed a circle, with a gem floating in the middle. The man is controlling this black corrosive ray and carving gems.
This man is Aini’s father!
Salin's eyes became moist when he thought of this man who would kill a lurker in a city of the Holy See for the sake of his son. Thinking about it carefully, all he can remember is his mother's warm embrace and his father's vague face.
