Like a marionette without any resistance, Marchioness Barland left under Kaya's lead and went to the courtyard to learn how to drive. A group of female guards seemed to want to stop them, but due to Duke Carvey's gaze, they didn't dare to behave improperly except for some small movements. In the end, a group of people chased after Marchioness Barland.
When Grand Duke Carvey retracted his sharp gaze and turned his head, he saw a certain Wizard's eyes full of doubt. The old man said embarrassedly: "Little Gai, you seem to have a lot of questions."
"Oh, Sir can tell? I thought I couldn't make any expressions with this face of mine. "Lin continued to touch his skeleton-like face that had no flesh at all.
"Although you don't have any expression, but I can still see it from your eyes. So if you want to ask, just ask. "Duke Carvey seemed to have decided to go all out.
"With Sir's power and wealth, if you want to teach your family something, even if there's no one inside to guide you, you can still hire a tutor and the like. Or you can let a trusted retainer learn first and then relay it back. Even if it's a woman's family, there are many ways to operate. There's no need to send someone to teach you. "Lin said bluntly.
"Indeed, that's true under normal circumstances. But my granddaughter is a bit different. "The old man said helplessly.
"What's different? If there's something I need to pay attention to, please tell me. "Lin said.
Duke Carvey thought about it and felt that it was indeed so. It was better than committing a taboo without knowing it. "In fact, this child wasn't like this when she was a child. At that time, although she wasn't like those naughty children, but she was lively, talkative, and liked to pester people. But since her parents passed away due to an accident, she became taciturn and even rarely left her room. Unless necessary, even servants can't enter her room. … "
What a familiar and enviable life! Speaking of which, there are also otaku aristocrats in the Lost Land, a certain person thought.
"… Of course, the ladies who specialize in matchmaking for the aristocrats are also not allowed to enter. I'm really worried about this. Even if you give her the most beautiful territory, she doesn't want to go take a look. Ever since you created the forum, I've finally been able to communicate with this child. But most of the time, she was still unwilling to talk to outsiders. It wasn't until she got a car that I saw some clues about her wanting to see the outside world from her posts on the forum. But the premise is that it must be an enclosed space where no one can see her. "
"What about her?" Although Lin didn't finish his sentence, what he meant was, why did he run out of the house?
Carville understood the meaning behind his words and explained, "In the beginning, her desire to drive wasn't that strong. But ever since the first car was almost complete, I showed her the design and various specifications, as well as the pictures of the exterior and interior. Her desire to drive the car herself became more and more obvious. So I want to take this opportunity to tell her that if she wants to learn how to drive, she has to come to you and ask her to leave that room. The result was also very satisfying. I had not seen her for many years, and I finally saw her in person again. Previously, I only heard voices at most. "
"In other words, I'm the bait here," Lin said.
"Yes, it's quite fragrant. Otherwise, how could that little fish take the bait? "Carville said with satisfaction.
Lin Che shrugged noncommittally. There was no need to be angry about such a harmless little use. But Lin was still confused about a situation and asked, "What's with that group of women?"
"Do you mean the group of women from the Black Veil Army?"
Lin also had some understanding of the term "Black Veil Army." So he was shocked and asked, "Aren't they your emperor's people? You dare to use them? "
"Strictly speaking, the Black Veil Army formed by noble women isn't the emperor's people. The emperor only chose M (1000) of them to protect the women in his harem. The rest of the people were full-time bodyguards. If there was a need, they would request it from them, or noble ladies whose family members would request it. Of course, the price is not cheap. When war breaks out, they will gather again, form an independent army, and join the battlefield. And after my youngest son died in an accident and the child's temperament changed greatly, I made a request to have a small team to protect the child. On the one hand, I also hoped that she could have friends of the same gender to walk out of the haze. But it seems that it didn't have any effect. "
The old man's words revealed a lot of information. Including the fact that he might suspect that his son's death wasn't simple, otherwise why would he protect that granddaughter? But Lin didn't ask further about such family matters, but there were still other things to talk about. So he said, "I thought that group of women was formed by the women in your vassal's family. So it wasn't. "
Carville said with a smile, "If you were my vassal, and I told you that my family needed protection, so I wanted to send the women in your family who knew martial arts, would you be willing? If that emperor dared to say such a thing to me, I would lead troops to greet him. Do you still have a normal part of your brain? The Black Veil Army is similar to a military officer school for noble men, except that the members are all women. As long as it's not wartime and the XI (11th) Legion hasn't been established, even the Empire's Ministry of Military Affairs can't control that place. In this era of peace, rather than considering the military strength of this group of women, it's better to say that their political strength is more considerable. After all, the people they come into contact with are the families of high officials and nobles. "
"It sounds like you have two sets of systems operating," Lin commented.
"Two sets of systems?" Carville couldn't understand the words of the mage in front of him for a moment. But after thinking about it carefully, there was some truth to it. He said, "Indeed. Whether it's in politics or military, the women of the Black Veil Army can play a role in different areas from the men. But in the Empire, it's still the men who dominate everything. "
Lin didn't have much criticism for this old man's conclusion. But when the game of whispering pillow talk could influence the men who mainly controlled the political power, could they still maintain their purity?
Fine. It didn't concern him, so he let it go. Lin only hoped that the political structure of these two groups wouldn't affect him in any way. But looking at the arrogant looks of this group of women, Lin wasn't sure about this bit of extravagant hope in his heart.
But Carville, this old man, didn't seem to want to talk much about the Black Veil Army. Maybe it was fear, or maybe there was something else he wanted to mention. He put on a kind and amiable smile again and said, "Let's not talk about those women. I say, Little Gai, since you've grasped a new ability, haven't you thought about putting it to good use? "
The topic suddenly changed, and Lin didn't have a clue for a moment. He frowned and asked, "New ability?"
"A silk robe that can be enchanted. Don't tell me you don't know how shocking this news is. Furthermore, the clothes worn by the other three were so exquisite. Who knows how many people have come to your door in order to get in touch with you through me. Elhanu also reported that he had already extended an invitation to you to cooperate, but you didn't accept. So I've come. "
Looking at the old man's confident appearance in front of him, Lin could only smile helplessly and ask, "Sir, in your opinion, how strong do you think this robe is as a piece of magical equipment?"
Carville said seriously, "Unfathomable. I'm not considered weak in the ranks of warriors, and I have a lot of experience in dealing with mages. But to be able to absorb all of my perception without giving me any feedback, this is the first magic equipment I've ever seen. This is a very inconceivable thing, because it means that when we clash, I will face your attack without knowing anything. In a battle where both sides were evenly matched, this was a rather fatal thing. Not to mention those incompetent nobles who only want to save their lives and wear beautiful clothes, even those warriors or mages of the practical faction are quite interested in this enchanted silk. "
"Then, Grand Duke, do you think it's easy to make this set of clothes?"
Carville's expression froze, and he asked, "Well, is it very difficult? You've made four similar sets of magical equipment in a row. "
"Let's not consider the question of whether it's difficult to make. Sir, do you think it's easy to obtain the materials needed to make a set of clothes? "
"Well, aren't they those little bugs you're raising?"
Lin still didn't answer directly, but continued to ask, "Let's put aside the two matters of making and materials. Sir, how much do you think such a set of magical equipment is worth?"
"Well, there is a price for everything. This is something that everyone can agree with. Little Gai, how much do you think is appropriate? "Carville asked back.
Lin revealed, "Sir, to be honest, Fen did indeed trade a set of magical equipment made of silk."
Hearing that there was a chance, Carville's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Oh, then how much did the buyer pay, xbar (10000) Kiel?"
"No, it's a deal. It's a deal that even I can't refuse. "Someone continued to reveal.
An old man said heroically, "Haha, it's just a deal. There's nothing in this world that I can't do, just say it. Not to mention one, I can promise you ten. "
"The other party agreed to let Fen borrow the magic tower's energy pool to hold a ceremony."
The mystery revealed by someone made the old man, who was full of confidence, stiffen. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he asked, "May I know who the person who made the deal with you is?"
"The tower master of tower VI, Mage Saint Mahetab."
Hearing this name, Carville immediately pouted, his face wrinkling like a chrysanthemum. This guy was, in fact, a distant relative of Ricardo Carvey. When he'd first met her, she'd played him like a younger brother. Even if he'd lived to this age, he was still a younger brother in front of her. He really couldn't afford to offend her.
Without considering the situation of fighting with that person, Grand Duke Carville also wanted to know if he had any alternative means to fulfill the other party's conditions. He asked, "May I ask what kind of ceremony is to be held?"
"A Lich needs to use the magic tower's energy pool. It's impossible to summon a little skeleton and be done with it. Anyway, I can be sure of one thing, and it's not something that can be measured with money. Of course, if you're willing to fund me to build a magic tower, I'll promise you ten sets, not to mention one set specifically for you. "
It was a little tacit understanding between nobles that they wouldn't help mages build towers if they could. Because as long as a magic tower was built, it would be like enfeoffing a hereditary noble. Not only would their territory decrease, but it would also be difficult to take it back with all kinds of schemes. So in the face of a certain mage's conditions, Grand Duke Carville could only smile dryly.
