Chapter 54: Negotiations

"Mr. Eshon, before we get down to business, let's have dinner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIt just so happened that some time ago, I found some high-quality ingredients in the auction house opened by the sea tribes, and now I finally met the guests who entertained them. ā€

After Lord Lamar said this, he waved his hand for the chef to open the lid on the plate.

The crust is drizzled with a deep sauce, the juicy soft meat is steaming hot, and the vegetables for decoration are arranged around the plate.

Looking at this familiar creature, I was a little speechless.

…… It's a bit hard to believe, but I seem to have seen this ingredient.

"I believe that Mr. Essioin, who has traveled to the mainland for many years, must be familiar with it, from the depths of the Sea of Despair that only the Sea Clan can reach, with the title of 'Gift of the Sea God', the dreamy natural ingredient at the lowest end of the Misda Trench......"

As if introducing a heavyweight character, the lord stood up and seemed to be proud to say:

"Raphael Miu Casmanda Deep Sea Pearl Mussel!"

Well...... How to put it, I didn't expect the ingredients to be so remarkable.

Now, looking at the lord's expectant expression and the familiar figure in the center of the plate, I don't seem to dare to treat this dish as simple as steamed geoduck with ordinary vegetables.

It turns out that the geoduck in another world turned out to be a gift from the god of the sea.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Essioin, but I seem to be getting a little excited. However, this is a very rare ingredient, and it is a rare thing to be able to bid on it at the auction house for a few thousand gold coins, so I hope you will enjoy it. ā€

As if he had also discovered his own inappropriateness, the lord of this family covered his forehead helplessly, shook his head and sat down again.

Hm.. Although it may be an exaggeration, at least the appearance is still good.

It's a pity that the skeleton doesn't have a digestive system, looking at the sad look of this lord, I guess this guy really paid for his son's future, but he just accidentally slapped the horse's ass on the horse's ass.

"Needless to say, nonsense. The old man has been waiting for a long time, so let's cut to the chase. ā€

"Oh, yes, yes, In that case, if you're willing to accept the dog's invitation, you'll have your own ideas. ā€

Hearing me say this, the lord couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

After shaking his head helplessly, he still had that standard smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said:

"Presumably, Mr. Esthein, you have already seen that the dog has no talent for learning magic. But it's really helpless that I have almost no talent to cultivate fighting spirit or magic, so there have been no knights or magicians or other professions in the Flasker family for three generations, and as nobles, we are disgraced......"

After saying this, the lord gave the butler beside him a look.

After listening to the butler-looking guy say [bring things up], several men dressed as deacons walked in from the other side of the dining room carrying some of the ornate treasure chests.

"Please do Mr. Essien a small favor so that the dog can enter the magic academy in the royal capital of the Federation. It only takes one sentence for a strong man like you, but that's really important to the Flask. ā€

After nodding, he waved his hand for the butler to open the chest.

With the sound of 'squeak' unpacking, the treasure chest dropped a lot of gold coins from this country, as well as a few treasures such as pearls or crystals, which shone in the light of the magical light.

"Mr. Essioin, this is just a little bit of the Flask's heart. I know that for a powerful magician like you, gold is not a valuable thing, but the sentence that 20,000 Ryan gold coins buy your lord should be considered a good deal. ā€

Oh, it seems that although there are errors in the information collected, there are also reliable points.

It's just that a nobleman of this level who commands a few small towns casually took out 20,000 gold coins, and the Duchy of Sismal has really been corroded to the point of incorrigibility.

"Hmph, the old man can indeed let him enter the academy, but a guy who doesn't have talent may not be able to graduate. ā€

"That's natural, Mr. Essine. But you may not know that the Frasque family also has a little relationship in the royal capital, and it is inconvenient to disclose this topic, but as long as the dog can enter the magic academy in the royal capital, you don't need to worry about what happened in the future. ā€

After saying this, Lord Lamar smiled, showing an expression of victory in sight.

Yes, this lord is not a waste like the information I heard from the adventurers, and he is worthy of the character who implements such a harsh government and still has a firm grasp of the territory.

It's no wonder that White Oak is thriving despite this burden.

The guy who cares about his own enjoyment and is diligent in government affairs is really the most difficult kind of person.

Indeed, this condition seems to have no reason to refuse at all for ordinary magician powerhouses, and it is natural that they will show an expression of victory, but ......

"I refuse!"

"It was a wise decision, and it deserved to be ...... Are you saying you're going to decline the deal?"

Hearing this, the lord didn't seem to react, and was still saying the lines he expected.

With a surprised expression, he seemed to ask for some unknown reason.

"No.. Please don't get me wrong, Lord Lamar, the old man is not rejecting this deal. Instead, there are some objections to the issue of remuneration, and the gold coins are just broken copper and iron for the old man, and they have no effect. ā€

Hearing me say this, the lord seemed a little displeased, and his face turned ugly.

Although the conditions seem tempting, the purpose has been completely deviated, and in the end, intelligence is more important, after all, the current state of the Undead Fortress is really precarious.

If you can't spend it, no matter how much money you get, it's all in vain.

"You guy, don't get an inch, it's just a sentence, 20,000 Ryan gold coins are not enough?! Lord Lamar can afford you......"

As if sensing his master's intentions, one of the guards who had been guarding near the table stepped forward.

After a pause, the lord waved his hand to stop the guards who wanted to rush up, and said solemnly:

"Stand down! Mr. Essioin, I am sorry for the retainers to do such a thing, but though it is only a small courtesy, in the case of your recommendation......"

Oh - look at this stance, these two people can't be playing a little trick with red faces and white faces.

But it doesn't matter if it's not.

Although the initiative in the negotiation is still in my hands, it seems that I have to show some chips a little, otherwise how can people be willing to take out something at the bottom of the box.

"Stupid boy, even if you want to show your loyalty, you must weigh how many pounds and taels you have before challenging the magician. Be grateful to your master, or you would be a roasted skeleton by now.

"What are you talking about! It's just a ...... of unknown origin."

Sting

With a burst of glittering white light, a hollow the size of a basin appeared where the guard had been coming from.

Fourth-Order Magic Sealed in a Magic Scroll - [WhiteFlame]

…………

"Lord Lamar, although the old man is a poor homeless man, he also has a little experience in drawing magic scrolls. Maybe you can tell the old man that the value of the fourth-rank magic scroll is not worth 20,000 gold coins. ā€
