With a cold snort, the steward squinted at the dwarf with a rather arrogant expression, completely ignoring the dwarf's bitter play, and said, "Save it, mage from the countryside. Apart from these four dwarves, who are still considered rare, what else do you have that can enter my eyes? " With that, he turned around and said at the same time, "If you're thinking of selling them, then let's talk again. Otherwise, I suggest you leave on your own and save yourself from humiliation. "
Hearing someone spout nonsense, the two apprentices and the dwarves who were despised were quite angry. Fen, however, was expressionless, as if she didn't hear it. Perhaps she was really in a daze, which was quite common for the former Lord Demon King. As for a certain someone who had some dealings with the other party, he shrugged indifferently and didn't say much.
The one-eyed girl who brought people here shared the same hatred as everyone else. She stuck out her tongue and made a face in the direction of the steward who had already left.
"Who's that annoying guy?" Halloumi asked this new friend.
"He's one of Marquis Shaobo's many children, called Thomas Shaobo. Marquis Shaobo is one of the main sponsors of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce. I heard that a child was sent here to watch over their part of the business because he was not favored and was exiled here. But I've never seen him do anything serious here, only annoying people everywhere. "
It sounded like Molgit was also quite dissatisfied with that noble. It was just that, as a noble, he actually wore a steward's uniform that was considered to be a servant to them. Speaking of which, that person's personality was quite special.
Coupled with the one-eyed girl's comment, it made a certain someone feel that, as the saying goes, nine out of ten people are rich, and one won't live long. A certain someone really hadn't seen many people with good backgrounds who were stupid in this place. However, this kind of self-righteous and smart person liked to use a condescending attitude to test others.
Just like what happened not long ago, the person whose arm was torn off by Fen could be classified as a very unlucky person. In a certain someone's opinion, that person was trying to scam others, but who knew that the driver really didn't care and ran over him, the kind of unlucky person who didn't die and still drove in the R gear.
Now, although the reason why this person deliberately pretended to be like this was unknown, a certain someone subconsciously wanted to stay away from this kind of person. It was tiring to be friends with such a scheming person. This was the headquarters of the Pilsen branch of the Society of Sorcerers, the City of Sorcerers. It could be compared to the capital of a country. What kind of noble would be exiled to a place that might be more prosperous than their own territory?
Therefore, a certain someone was very confident that the man was not as simple as he looked. But the more it was like this, the more he didn't want to deal with that person.
Fortunately, we didn't have to listen to the girls complain too much to the dwarves. It didn't take long for the person Molgit had brought us to appear. She was a noblewoman. Although there were a few strands of white hair at her temples, her luxurious temperament was difficult to conceal under the contrast of simple silver ornaments. Dressed in a fitting gown with a fluffy skirt, she walked slowly step by step, unconsciously attracting everyone's attention.
Some women change shape when they get old. Sometimes, they even look repulsive. But for some women, the longer they aged, the more fragrant they became. One had to see such a person with their own eyes to understand the meaning of the idiom 'still charming'. And the one in front of us had this kind of charm.
But before she could get close, the one-eyed girl threw herself into the arms of the noblewoman. Like a soft kitten, she rubbed and acted coquettishly. "Madam Audrey. I missed you, I missed you so much. "
"Alright, didn't we just meet yesterday?" The noblewoman was also quite skilled. She played with the girl's messy hair as if she was petting a cat.
Looking at Maurjit's satisfied look, the two of them were ready to make a move. Not to mention the two girls who hadn't enjoyed maternal love for nearly ten years, even a certain someone thought that it would be very comfortable to be petted like this.
But those delusions didn't come true. After comforting Molgit, the noblewoman turned her attention back to the guests. She curtsied and said, "Good day, distinguished guests. Is there anything I can do for you? "
She returned the greeting with the magician's etiquette. Considering that she wasn't familiar with the noblewoman's etiquette, in order to avoid making a fool of herself, this was the safest thing to do. But a certain someone's first question was a bit sharp. He asked curiously, "You're obviously a noble, but you also personally handle the business matters?"
"Even if I can't increase the family property left behind by my deceased husband, I shouldn't squander it all. At least until the child he left behind comes of age, all I can do is to protect it as best I can. "
The noblewoman's answer contained too much information, and a certain someone couldn't help but laugh dryly. It sounded like "his" child, not "my" child. There were too many things to ponder about in such a difference in wording. It was because he heard it and thought a lot, so Lin was a bit embarrassed.
The noblewoman didn't care and said, "The entrance is not a place to discuss business, let's change to another place." As she spoke, she let the waiter lead everyone to the reception room inside the Chamber of Commerce. She was held by the one-eyed girl's hand and walked together.
The girl also seemed to be showing off, showing off the glasses she just got and talking about the new world she saw in her eyes. And those words made the noblewoman pay more attention to this group of strangers. Other than the guarantee of strength, a mage also had another special characteristic for people like her: business opportunities. Not to mention this person who often created miracles.
The reception room of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce was like a bar, with all kinds of luxurious facilities and design. It was the first time someone had seen it since coming to the maze.
After asking everyone to take a seat, Moljit formally introduced everyone, "In front of you is the owner of the Dragon Root Mountain territory, the benevolent and charitable Countess Audre Shantor." Then, she turned to another direction and said, "These are friends from other places, Hallumi, Kaya, um …"
This girl who stopped halfway through the introduction was really not a competent middleman. But looking at her embarrassed expression that was about to cry, no one wanted to continue to make things difficult for her. A few dwarves who had a good impression of her rushed to introduce themselves. Of course, the titles were longer than the last, especially those that made people wonder what 'rock savior' and 'peaceful armed destroyer' were.
When it was Fen's turn, she finally came back to her senses. She nodded slightly and only said her name. "Fen Ni Tikal." Finally came the grand finale — actually, the one standing at the end of the horizontal line. He did not intend to think of a long, stinky title for himself like the dwarves. He simply introduced himself, "I'm a sorcerer from the Sika district, Guebrache Tripwood."
Hearing this name, the one-eyed girl could not stay calm. She turned to look at the teacher who made a new friend and said in surprise, "Hey! You're the mage who has a bounty of 15,000 gold on his head. "Moljit realized that he seemed to have said something that he should not have said, so he quickly shut his mouth.
Although someone did not have the self-awareness of being a celebrity, Lin was not surprised that his identity was exposed. Just like the one-eyed girl's slip of the tongue, the bounty had been raised to 15,000 gold coins. For many people in the maze, it was an unimaginable number, so naturally, the person with the bounty would receive a lot of 'attention'.
In this regard, Lin just laughed and asked jokingly, "That's me. So, are you interested in the bounty? "
The one-eyed girl shook her head like a bell drum, and the noblewoman in front of her smiled faintly and said, "I don't like to do business with human lives. It's too heavy for a woman."
"That's something to be happy about. It seems that we do have some business to do. Then, Count Shantuo … "
"Please just call me Audrey. I think we can be good friends. And it seems like you're that kind of person. "
This … Lin did not know how to respond.
Seeing Lin's embarrassed posture, Audrey covered her mouth and laughed a few times, saying, "What I mean is that I'm not very good at chatting. I want to get straight to the point and do my own thing as soon as possible. Very like a mage, not like a noble. "
That's what she meant. Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I've always thought that chatting is something that two people do when they have free time. If the other person is busy, but you have to use some trivial matters to occupy their time, that's a sin, and it's easy to attract resentment. This is something that I know very well. After all, time is money. "
Audrey heard this and her eyes lit up, saying, "Time is money, hmm, that's a good sentence. That's indeed the case, that's right. "
"Right, right. It's really unbearable to meet those uncles and aunts who just want to grab onto you and not let go. And those who have nothing to do with you will only feel unbearable; if it's related, then it will make people feel awkward; the most painful are those who ask questions. "
"That's right." Audrey said politely.
"I still remember that what I was most afraid of was the three kinds of tricks my relatives used. What school do you go to, where do you work, do you have a girlfriend? Every time they see me, they ask me the same question in turn. Every time I want to say, aunt, I just said the same answer last time. It's only been three days since the last time. In these three days, will I change schools? Will I change jobs? Will I be able to leave Lu? Do you think it's thirty years? " A certain someone seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and was talking to himself.
At this time, a group of people in the reception room quietly gathered together and exchanged glances. Halloumi lowered her voice and said softly, "Occasionally, we meet people like that."
"Yes, people like that." Kaya agreed. Then, everyone secretly glanced at the man who claimed that he was not good at chatting, but kept talking nonsense.
