The one in trouble was not Nelis. Sigar was holding a boomerang, staring angrily at the count's son. The count's son's face was pale from blood loss. His entire arm was wrapped in bandages, and he held a sword in his left hand. Behind him were two swordsmen who were also holding weapons.
The four Black Iron Sword Saints did not seem to see the tense situation. They sat there without even lifting their eyelids.
"Count, what happened?"
"I don't know why your subordinate hurt my son." Count Spadian was furious. He knew what kind of person his son was, but that woman almost killed someone in his own home. No matter what, he had to answer for this.
Sarin smiled and said: "Shika is not my subordinate, she is my friend. If you have anything to say, say it to me. "
After hearing Salin's words, Shika's anger subsided a lot. Count Spadian's son, on the other hand, was furious. "This bitch! I'm going to kill her today!"
Salin laughed even harder. "Haha, Count, how about this? I'll wait here for two hours. Ask your son to find everyone he can and kill them as much as he wants. If I accidentally die, the princess will think of the big picture and not cause trouble for the Clyde family. "
"What's so great about the princess …"
"Bastard!" Count Spadian was really angry. It seemed that this son of his had no chance with the title of nobility. If today's events were to spread, his brothers would oppose supporting his son.
"Bastard? I'm a bastard. I can't read or fight, and I'm useless in magic. Why are you forcing me to do this? Can't you just let me eat and wait for death? "The count's son angrily threw the sword in his hand and turned to leave.
Count Spadian was a little discouraged. According to the rules of the four major merchant families, the title of nobility did not have to be passed on to the son of the family head. Moreover, the position of the family head was changed every thirty years. There was no hope for this son of his. If Salin was a vengeful person, he would probably speak to the princess. He knew very well what position the princess had in the emperor's heart.
Leave Salin and the others behind? What a joke. This was the capital. Outside, the Clyde family could use money to buy everything. But in the capital, they could only follow the rules of the nobles.
Salin looked at Count Spadian, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. The Count's son's eyes were very vicious before he left. He was definitely not a person who wanted to sit around and wait for death.
"Wizard Salin …"
"Sir Count." Salin interrupted Count Spadian's words. "The princess is nothing. I will pass on this message. There's no need to say more. Even if I don't pass on the message, the other four will. You should understand the importance of this. "
Salin pointed at the four Black Iron Sword Saints. Count Spadian was speechless.
Salin was pleased. Your son must have gone to harass Shika. Otherwise, someone like Shika wouldn't have hurt someone. The entire mercenary world knew how simple the Caucasians were. Since you went to provoke Shika, don't blame me for stepping on you. If this kid didn't have the chance to inherit the title, would Ainphent climb up?
It was a pity that he was about to leave the Imperial Capital. It would be difficult to encounter such a situation again.
"Wizard Salin, what about the princess?" Spadian was a man who had seen many things. He knew that the most important thing now was the business in the Kushui prefecture. Even if his son couldn't inherit the title, he could still be a rich young master. The business in the prefecture was an opportunity for the entire family to develop.
"I'll come back in half a month. We'll talk about it." Salin didn't even sit down. He casually put away the tea set Rex had left and was about to leave. Spadian couldn't stop him and could only see him off. The four Black Iron Sword Saints finally stood up and followed Salin out of the living room.
Seeing that they were about to leave the door, Salin said, "Sir Count, please wait. The person who shouted that he wanted to capture me, do you think …"
Count Spadian frowned. "He's probably a spy sent by the other families."
"Count, I heard that the Church is infiltrating everywhere. They're hard to deal with. If you can't get anything out of him, you can leave it to me. I have many ways to make him talk."
Count Spadian broke out in cold sweat. Salin was clearly saying that his son might be in cahoots with the Church. However, this was suspicious. It was better to kill that person. He would talk to his son later and not get involved. The conflict between the Clyde Family and the Church was well-known. However, if they were bitten, the Clyde Family could forget about doing business in Qin Yin in the future.
At first, he had looked down on Salin. He thought that a young kid would be easy to deal with. Only now did he realize that Salin was ruthless. No wonder Princess Rex had asked him to manage the business.
"Mage Salin, I'll write you a copy of the confession." Count Spadian gave in. In the face of business, everything else was fake. Only gold was the most real.
Salin also stopped pressuring the count. It was time to stop. After a short contest, he had gained the upper hand. Rex's mission was considered complete. When he came back in half a month, Spadian would probably have finished all the plans and was waiting to discuss it with him.
The servant led the horse that Rex had left behind. Salin and the others left. Watching Salin's back, Count Spadian clenched his teeth and shook his head helplessly. Even without Salin, his son would cause trouble sooner or later. This time, the family had used a lot of manpower to deal with the supplies needed for the emperor's expedition. He was afraid that his son would mess things up, so he kept him at home. Who knew that he would still cause trouble for himself.
Salin didn't bother with Count Spadian's matter. When he returned to the palace, Rex sent someone to bring him in. He told her what had happened honestly. Princess Rex laughed.
Salin spread his hands. "You didn't tell me what to do, so I had to kill him first."
"Yes, you did well." Princess Rex held back her laughter. "When we return to Kushui Commandery, choose some people to help you deal with these things. Don't go on such intimidating missions in the future. In half a month, the army will be assembled. During this time, don't go out. There are twelve dukes in the capital. You can't afford to offend any of them.
Rex's words were what Salin wanted. If he had to deal with these things all day, he wouldn't be able to practice magic anymore.
"What about Cicar?"
"Gold coins?"
Salin took out the sixty thousand gold coins that Ainphent gave him and gave it to Rex. Rex didn't count them and put them in her ring directly. She said to Salin, "I've already sent someone to do it. If there are no accidents, it should be done in three to five months. Before winter, the village will have enough food to survive.
Seeing Salin's strange expression, Rex said, "I'm grateful for the green dragon's magic core. I can trust you for tens of thousands of gold coins.
Salin was speechless. If he could trust her, why did he mention the gold coins?
The palace was isolated from the world. Salin practiced magic every day. He couldn't cast third-level spells instantly, but he mastered a few second-level spells quickly. His magic string didn't show any signs of improvement. Salin knew that he couldn't rush it. He had only been exposed to magic for a short time. The only right way to advance was to accumulate as much as he could.
Half a month passed quickly for a magician. If it wasn't for Rex's reminder, Salin would have forgotten that it was time to go to the Clyde Family. The business wouldn't be settled quickly, but he had to get the puppet made by the Witcher Spider.
Sicar couldn't be by his side all the time. This puppet was a good killing weapon.
Salin came to the count's mansion expectantly. This time, Rex asked him to bring two Black Iron Sword Saints instead of Sicar and Nelis. The butler welcomed Salin and asked directly, "Magician Salin, would you like to see Lord Feliot or the count first?"
"I'll go see Uncle Feliot first." Salin was careful. He would see Feliot first. The two Sword Saints would follow him, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
Salin came to the yard where the Feliot couple was imprisoned. He told the two Black Iron Sword Saints to stay and walked in alone. It was still a narrow path with flowers blooming on both sides. Salin took a deep breath, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door.
"Come in, Salin."
Salin pushed the door open and entered. A giant spider pounced at him. Without thinking, Salin released twelve Water Pattern Shields, which floated in front of him. At the same time, Salin made a special gesture with his hands, about to release a third-level spell.
Giggles came. It was Ainphent's mother's voice. Salin realized that he'd been tricked. The illusion disappeared, and on the ground was his Witcher Spider.
Salin smiled bitterly. These two were so bored from being imprisoned that they actually made fun of him, a junior. But the illusion just now was too real. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't tell that it was fake at all. Such a huge spider illusion pounced at him, making the small Witcher Spider even more hidden.
Witcher Spiders were famous for sneak attacks. In broad daylight, even Sicar could be smashed away with one blow. It seemed that the Feliot couple had put a lot of thought into this puppet.
"Salin, are you satisfied?" Feliot also smiled. Salin casually dispelled the twelve Water Pattern Shields, and Feliot's smile froze. What strong control over magic. Who was Salin's teacher? When he was at the second-level, it was impossible for him to release twelve spells so quickly, let alone dispelling twelve spells at the same time.
No wonder Ainphent would be friends with Salin, given his arrogant personality.
Salin carefully picked up the Witcher Spider. This spider didn't seem to have changed much. Apart from some obscure magic patterns on its back, there were seven slots for magic cores on its abdomen.
Because the Witcher Spider that Salin had provided was complete, Feliot had simply refined a magic array inside the spider's body. The shell of the Witcher Spider was not only hard, but also tough. The seven slots for the magic cores had been ground out bit by bit by corrosive rays.
There were six magic cores and a crystal in the slots. Feliot said, "Add a spiritual brand to the crystal in the middle, and you can control this puppet. If you have the Iceland Stone, you can make the illusion more realistic.
Salin was delighted. This was the easiest way to control a puppet. There was a distance limit, and the control distance was related to the level of the Magician. If the black crystal was embedded in the middle of the spider's abdomen, the souls of some magic beasts could be imprisoned, making the puppet even stronger.
