Chapter 135: The Great Patron

The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the last day of August.

That morning, Ricky sent Mu Yan a very interesting message.

The Horn of Kane had bought off a large number of nobles a day earlier, allowing them to send missions to the Shadow Footsteps. Although the content of the commission is mixed, if you look at them separately, they are completely irrelevant, but in the eyes of the intelligence chief, this is completely a cover-up.

They had only one purpose, to investigate everything about Mu Yan and Sir Mondrian's treasures.

As for how much money was spent...... It can only be said that this number is really staggering.

Ricky used this analogy.

He said that since he took over the shadows, the original leader, Mr. Wade Miles, Desmond's father, had treated each day almost as if it were the last day of his life...... But after hearing this number, there was suddenly hope in his eyes, and at the same time, he looked at Ricky's eyes without fear, but with a kind of ...... I can't tell what it means.

It's like, "Please, sit down in this seat all the time."

Mu Yan couldn't help but be a little speechless about Ricky.

However, he has heard a little about the notoriously poor Shadow Footsteps, not long after the launch of the "Dusk Era", the Morning Star players in the Hilde Hills broke the news that the branch set up by Shadow Footsteps in the local area actually opened the transfer of the second-order profession 'Assassin' for a fee, and at first 5 silver coins can be transferred, and there is no need to do the task, and then the price rises with the price of the game and the number of applicants, which once brought a lot of impact to the local thief union...... That alone shows how poor the organization is.

It's just that Kane's Horn spent such a large amount of money, but in the end it was all cheaper for Eric.

Mr. Writer racked his brains, consulted a lot of materials, and with the help of two spell encyclopedias, Mr. Zha and Mr. Glazer, he compiled a set of information that seemed to be detailed and flawless, but also useless - in a way, he wrote an unidentifiable fake paper, and only then did he get this manuscript fee.

"I didn't pay as much as this stuff to write "A Song of Frost and Fire", and I'm going to put it off like this!"

Mr. Writer also said indignantly.

Mu Yan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, he did deduct a lot of manuscript fees, after all, the workshop was also so poor.

Whether it is selling newspapers or Seraf, although they are both profitable transactions, they can make money and burn money at the same time.

Aside from the cost of buying the Magic Crystal Mine to maintain its operations, almost all of the income from this period was used to fill the huge gap of millions of gold coins in Seraf's construction process.

It's also thanks to Duke Clark's great business that he can hold his breath, and if he wants to replace someone else, Seraf may not be able to hold it up halfway through construction.

As for the money earned later, Mu Yan will also do what he said when he made the Hot Spring Township Covenant, not a single copper coin will be taken more, all will be handed over to the investors, anyway, what is given to them now will be taken back sooner or later, and he is not in a hurry at this time, on the contrary, doing so can also give them a beautiful illusion and enrich Mu Yan's personality.

And now that he finally can't help but start investigating Seraf's Kanehorn, he will undoubtedly send himself to Mu Yan soon.

And it has to be the kind of guilty of petitioning.

……

……

At dusk, Robert Noyce walked in the teacher's apartment, and his irritable mood could not be calmed for a long time.

As William Shockley's most loyal lackey, he had always been hated by the other second-in-command for being favored, but Rao never thought that such drudgery would fall on him.

He couldn't help but wonder what William had in his head.

Yes, it was indeed he who saw at a glance that the headband had a great origin, and deduced that it would cause a sensation in the future, and proposed to treat it coldly, and the suggestion to use the magic refining method used against Ian back then also came from him.

But—

All this was implemented after William nodded in agreement!

As a decision-maker and helmsman, is this stupid pig only willing to enjoy the good results, but is not willing to take the risks that he deserves?

As soon as he remembered William's face before going out this time, he felt sick to his stomach.

"Listen, no matter what, even if you kneel on the ground and lick the other person's toes, make him comfortable and satisfied to agree to cooperate with us! Otherwise, you don't come back! ”

Are you kidding?

You were the one who humiliated Ian in full view of everyone and kicked him out of the Silver Candle Society! Why do you want me to clean up this mess now!?

And even if it succeeds, how much of the credit will go to me?

He knew the answer to that question.

But even though Robert had a thousand or ten thousand swear words in his heart, he could only swallow them and came to Jialan Academy with stiff steps.

Because he knew what Seraf was.

He had anticipated the sensation at the outset, and only underestimated its momentum.

This is an entertainment revolution that has spanned the era, and almost the entire aristocratic circle of Falan City is beating their chests, lamenting why they graduated early, why they didn't go through those damn formalities to extend their student qualifications, so that they lost the qualifications to step into it......

If any chamber of commerce can seize this opportunity and open Seraf's back door, then it will make more money than all the casinos, horse farms, and women who make money with open legs in the Blue City of France combined.

It's a pity that he messed up, as the first person to realize this, he didn't expect Mu Yan to be 10,000 times more difficult to deal with than Ian, and he didn't have the clever means of the predecessor back then, so that now he has to suffer the consequences.

In addition, there is another point that is like a fish in the throat, so that Robert is always puzzled.

"A businessman is a man with three mouths and two faces" - this is the consensus of all, but besides the complaint against William, in addition to anger, there seems to be something else that worries him......

It's worry and anxiety, not anger......

What are you worried about?

It wasn't until he saw the destination of the trip from afar that Robert faintly grasped this glimmer of inspiration.

There was an error in his estimation of Mu Yan, which was the root of all failures.

Since "Bignius", Mu Yan's behavior has not attracted his attention, even if his initial report has caused a crisis of confidence, but in the eyes of the entire Kane Horn, it is nothing more than a child's prank.

After all, Jialan Academy is a desert for the newspaper industry—something that Magic Daily has verified...... But now there are oases in this desert, and there is a faint tendency to grow into forests.

The entire aristocratic circle of Falan City, except for those elderly nobles, is now discussing "A Song of Frost and Fire", Seraf's content, and that damn leaderboard. There was even a piracy industry in the Copper Fire Alley - and the nobles who regarded their status above all else did not denounce it, but gladly accepted it!

They are like chocobos with their heads buried in the sand, quickly burning shoddy pirated newspapers, and then pretending that they had borrowed the Bignius newspaper from elsewhere in order to follow trends.

Oh, hypocritical aristocracy.

Now it looks like this newspaper was the beginning of it all.

The development of this matter was firmly controlled by this young man from beginning to end, and never deviated from the expected track. He used newspapers to build a platform, then used stories to promote the platform, enveloped the audience, cultivated their interests and hobbies, tied them to the platform, and then centered on the young audience, infiltrated the aristocratic circle of Jialan, followed by the entire Falan City...... Step by step, interlocking.

The other party defeated himself with a businessman method far superior to his own, and the source of everything was the initial contempt and non-cooperation.

And his success lies in confronting young people – a group of people who are not on the radar of the horn of Kane.

"The nobleman's money bag is in the hands of the head of the family, and we are responsible for currying favor with the pot-bellied nobles, and their mistresses, the noblewomen who are extravagant."

This has always been the philosophy of Magic Daily and Kane's Horn.

It's not that they don't have foresight, but they're just used to seeing the teenagers gradually turn into pot-bellied aristocrats, and those fancy girls gradually become noblewomen, and since teenagers are always changeable, why don't they lie at the finish line and wait for their work?

Because they were too dependent on habits, they were caught off guard.

"Young people understand young people so well." Robert muttered, no matter how good this Mu Yan is, he is still a young man after all.

In this way, he suddenly had confidence in his heart.

Young people, after all, what they want to get is recognition from adults, and they can't stand praise and praise, as long as they hold him up to the sky and let him flutter, they can forget the unhappiness of the past.

That's right, that's right.

Robert raised his right hand, adjusted his mindset to the best before knocking on the door, and began to brew lines in his mind.

As a brilliant businessman, he has put all unhappiness and irritability behind him for the time being.

"Knock Knock"

creak

The door was pulled open.

"Hello, the contemptible is-"

Robert was suddenly stunned, and his hands froze in the air.

It was Ian who opened the door, who gave a wry smile.

"Mr. Robert, do you need to introduce yourself to me?"

"Ha, ha......" he smiled awkwardly.

He suddenly remembered that a few months ago, there was information from the side of Gray Street, and the few people who did something to Ian seemed to have evaporated from the world, and even if he bought information from Shadow Footsteps, he was told that "there is not even a single hair left at the scene, and there is a ghost to investigate".

Seeing him appear here now, Robert suddenly felt a chill in his back.

Won't it ......

Before he could think about it, he was enthusiastically dragged into the house by Ian.

Then I saw another acquaintance.

Gawain.

The man he fired as a scapegoat......

"Mr. Robert." Gawain also stood up, smiling as well.

"Two ...... Long time no see. ”

Robert's voice trembled a little, and the good emotions and words that had been brewing in the door a few seconds ago were now clean.

"yes, long time no see."

Ian's answer sounded something different to him.

At this time, a man and a woman walked out of the kitchen with food, both of them were extraordinary, especially the woman, with silver hair hanging high behind her head, and her slender neck like an elegant white swan.

He glanced at it, but he didn't see Mu Yan. That's when Robert remembered the purpose of his trip.

"May I ask Mr. Mu Yan?"

"Mu Yan, he's not here." The woman took a piece of hazelnut cake from her plate and threw it into her mouth, licking her fingers. She said vaguely: "He said that if you have anything, just talk to me, I can act as a full agent." ”

Robert frowned.

Woman? Can a woman still talk about business?

Do all the women of this age think that they are Miss Roman with gold roses?

He guessed that this was because Mu Yan didn't want to see him, so he pretended to shirk it, as for this woman, eighty percent of it was a shield...... The kind that doesn't know anything.

However, he still sat down, secretly wondering what connection these two people had with Mu Yan.

He suddenly had the feeling that the trip would be much more difficult than he had just imagined.
