Ellington, by the Emerald River, two people, one fishing rod.
"… … According to your orders, after receiving the financial support from his majesty Victor, we have already prepared to lower the price to absorb the Magic Crystals on the market. Because of the policy panic, there are a lot of Magic Crystals being sold and I'm afraid we won't be able to absorb them all."
"Un."
"Because of the new policy and the tax policy, the Kadir Family announced a reduction in production to stabilize the market, but there is no information on the mines being sold."
"Un."
"… … Sir Lord, did you hear me clearly!"
Hilton who had rushed back from Alinx to report was a bit crazy. Tang En was sitting on the side leisurely fishing. He only responded with "un, un" when he heard the report, but he didn't say anything about what to do next … …
What kind of time was this and he was still this leisurely!?
"I heard you clearly, you're doing very well."
"We don't have enough funds to absorb the Magic Crystals on the market."
"It's not the time yet, the price will collapse in two days and we'll make a move then."
Tang En casually waved his hand, "We have to leave some soup for others to drink. Are there any companies in the market that are following us in absorbing Magic Crystals?"
"No."
"No?"
"Or perhaps there isn't a large company that has the courage to go against the flow!"
Hilton gave a sigh, "Sir Lord, not everyone has a long term vision like you."
"Hilton, it's no use flattering me, I won't give you a raise."
Tang En suddenly pulled up his fishing rod and looked at the big fish with a smile, "Really, why didn't I think of getting some fish to eat here before, it's simply too wasteful. Hilton, don't go back for lunch, I'll cook some boiled fish for you to try. I guarantee you'll want more after you finish eating. "
"Sir Lord … …"
Hilton was about to cry, "I really don't have that kind of mood right now … …"
As the situation became more tense, every second could be worth millions of gold coins, so of course Hilton was nervous.
Tang En threw the fish into the bucket and shook his head, "Ai, you guys aren't calm at all, you don't know how to enjoy life. The fish in the Emerald River is simply a gift from the heavens, the meat is tender and doesn't have bones, it doesn't have the smell of freshwater fish. If you're not interested in such a delicious thing, what meaning is there in living?"
"Sir Lord, the Emerald River comes from the Emerald Forest, that place is the territory of the elves. The World Tree is there, so of course the fish in the river is good."
Hilton said bitterly, "But, no matter how delicious the fish is, it's not worth millions of gold coins. Even His Majesty Victor and the two grand dukes can't sleep well recently. You, on the other hand, are having a good night's sleep and eating well …"
"Nonsense, if I can't even enjoy life while I'm alive, then what's the point of living?"
Tang En rolled his eyes at her in annoyance, "You too … … Alright, I know, go back and contact Victor. It's time to add fuel to the fire. The Cadier family has chosen to reduce the production of their mines, this in itself is a signal, they probably can't hold on anymore."
"Forgive me for being blunt, Sir Lord," Hilton said with a serious expression.
Hilton said seriously, "Even if we can't handle it, Your Majesty Victor, the Cadier family can't. The mines are only the foundation of their family's fortune, not everything. Now, their family's wealth has already spread all over the country.
"Oh? … … I've underestimated them. "
Tang En frowned slightly, "If that's the case … … Looks like we need to make a big move."
"Sir Lord?"
"Let's go back, I'm afraid we still need to make some arrangements … …"
At noon, Tang En personally cooked a pot of Spicy Boiled Fish. The fresh and delicious fish meat and its spicy aroma once again conquered the entire Lord's Residence. Even Nora ate until her little mouth was red and she rolled around on the floor. The group of delicate little maids had already been trained by Tang En to have the taste of spicy girls. They had to be elegant and not dirty!
This was referring to temperament! Temperament, you know? It wasn't a strange taste.
After lunch, the group sat in the courtyard to drink tea and bask in the sun.
Although she was full of complaints, Hilton was also conquered by Tang En's cooking. For a moment, she was so satisfied that she was lazy and didn't want to move.
Tang En said teasingly as he blew on the hot tea, "Next … … Hmm, I think it's time to invite the City of Silver's mage messenger to come out."
"The City of Silver's mage!?"
Hilton was stunned and shocked, "Sir Lord, you really know the City of Silver's mage!?"
Tang En shrugged, "No, I don't."
"… …"
"But you can fake it."
Tang En revealed a malicious smile, "Frank and the others won't verify it themselves anyway. As long as Victor and the others take it seriously, Frank can only take it seriously. This time, it's our beautiful and talented Miss Fiona's turn to come out!"
"Eh!? Eh!? Me!? "
Fiona, who was caught off guard, was dumbfounded.
"Of course, now in Ellington, only you, Elijah, and I have mastered magic. Elijah is too young, of course she can't."
Elijah pouted unhappily and plunged into Elsa's arms for comfort.
Tang En looked up and down at Fiona, "I can't do it either, because they already know my identity as a rogue mage. It's too troublesome to use a transformation spell to act. It just so happens that you haven't appeared in front of them before, so it's best to let you act as the City of Silver's messenger."
"But, but this will easily attract the City of Silver's attention, won't it?"
"It's not like they want you to keep this identity forever."
Tang En smirked, "Running away after acting cool, how exciting!"
Without waiting for Fiona to complain, Hilton hurriedly said, "Sir Lord, about this part of your plan, those lords already have a candidate."
"Someone already?"
This time it was Tang En's turn to be stunned, "They didn't really find an actor, did they?"
"Of course not. Even if we would do that, His Majesty Victor wouldn't dare to do that. What they found is a real messenger from the City of Silver, a member of the Secret Spell Association of the Star-Moon Tower. "
Hilton was full of joy that they could find such a person, or else she would be scared when she thought of Tang En's plan.
"Oh?"
Tang En frowned, "So, they revealed the plan to outsiders?"
"Outsiders? No, that, how should I put it … "
Hilton's expression was very conflicted, "It seems that, that, probably, probably, is not an outsider …"
"… Let's be serious."
"Sir Lord, how would I dare to talk about that kind of big shot …"
Hilton's face was bitter, "Anyway, I see that His Majesty Victor, Grand Duke Aubrey, and Grand Duke Adrian are very familiar with that lady, and that lady seems to be very close to Grand Duke Adrian. Grand Duke Aubrey even joked about their relationship."
"Oh, oh!"
Tang En came to a realization and shouted at Elsa, "Elsa, what did that old bastard Aubrey say about Adrian's old lover?"
"Sir Lord … That's my grandfather …"
"Oh, Adrian's old lover is your grandfather."
"No! Of course not! Sir Lord, you're too much! "
Elsa's little face was red, "I mean, Aubrey is my grandfather! Grandpa Adrian's old lover … Ah, Sir Lord, how could you make me say such a thing! What old lover … It's too embarrassing! "
"Well, that's his little wife."
Concubine … That sounded better.
Elsa heaved a sigh of relief.
Tang En shrugged, "Anyway, I heard that your grandmother Elica was willing to accept her a long time ago, right? Your grandfather is so pretentious, I guess he's been rolling in the sheets for the past two days. "
Rolling in the sheets …
Elsa's face was red again. Sir Lord is really too, too, too obscene!
"She, she, she's called Vanessa, Vanessa Mercala!"
After saying that, Elsa covered her face and began to pretend to be an ostrich, steam almost coming out of the top of her head.
Fiona and Hilton could not help but shake their heads. Elsa was still too pure …
Tang En clapped his hands, "Yes! That's her! "
Hilton nodded, "They call that lady Vanessa."
"Very good, it seems that for our plan, Adrian has finally ruthlessly sold his body and roped in a powerful ally."
Tang En snapped his fingers, "In that case, there's nothing for us to do next, we just have to wait for the final result."
Hilton was speechless again, "Sir Lord, are you so confident in this plan?"
"If I don't have confidence in myself, then what am I doing in this world?"
Tang En took a sip of hot tea lazily and narrowed his eyes comfortably, "Remember, Hilton, man proposes, God disposes. We have done all we can to push the future in the direction we want it to go. If we still don't succeed, it only means that Lady Luck has kicked me out of her bed —"
* Boom — *
A muffled thunder resounded through the sky.
Fiona was stunned, "It's going to rain."
"No."
Tang En looked at the sky with a faint smile, "Some guys are warning me."
It had been a while since he came to Prandal, and Tang En had gradually understood the attitude of the "gods" above him through his intentional or unintentional probing.
Except for occasionally responding to his verbal insults to make their presence felt, the "gods" did not interfere with his every move at all — and no interference was a kind of indulgence in itself.
Tang En was not clear about the bottom line of the gods, but he certainly could not be a big devil. Perhaps … his transmigration had something to do with the gods of this world? They needed him to save the world?
That was unlikely, right?
As real gods, why didn't they do it themselves?
Instead, they needed him, an outsider, to do it?
Maybe there was something that was hard to say, or there was some kind of secret, but … that was all in the future.
Now, the most important thing for Tang En was, of course, whether the new energy plan would succeed or not.
