The first nobleman to quote came from a large plantation, nearly half of the cane sugar in the empire came from his family's plantation, in addition, he also operated the main raw materials of the healing potion, which was the highest grade kind of farmer, but his previous net worth did not allow him to be invited by the Duke of the South to come to such an auction, but after the plane war, the situation was different, although the losses he suffered in the catastrophe were not small, but the backlog of medicinal raw materials made him make a lot of money in the country, And then use this windfall to merge the land and assets of those who went bankrupt or even died due to the catastrophe, and the entire net worth has doubled compared to the past? Instantly rise to the top of the nobility.

In the previous plane wars, someone would naturally get rich if someone died, and the upper aristocratic circle was about to face a reshuffle, and nouveau riche like this were already eager to seize a more comfortable position.

And this nouveau riche did not carry many servants and carried large boxes and small bags like other people today, so he came alone, with a piece of paper, and he read out the contents of the contract in front of everyone, which agreed that he would exchange 5% of the annual income of his plantation for a place of sponsorship, note that it was every year in the future.

This is his offer, so bold that the surrounding nobles who are used to seeing the world are surprised, even Bai Yi felt a little surprised, today's first offer is actually exaggerated to such an extent?

Even if Dean Bai has a great appetite and doesn't look down on worldly property, he only accepts all kinds of precious materials, but it also depends on how much, like this offer with shares as a bargaining chip, it is indeed worth considering, especially considering that this guy is on the rise, this 5% income may be the income of hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins per year in the future, and all he needs is a quota.

Exchanging a long-term meal ticket for a place may seem like a loss-making deal in the eyes of ordinary people, but Bai Yi seems to have made a lot of money? But in fact, Bai Yi had already made a decision after being stunned, although he didn't say it, he had already denied it in his heart.

In order to get this 5% income every year in the future, he is bound to give this guy a lot of help, which is equivalent to getting on the same boat with him, and the other party will definitely treat the university and the Voidwalker as one of his backers and a thigh in the future, which is likely to bring more trouble to the university...

Such a generous offer from an upstart like this, his real purpose may be here, he lacks enough foundation and support, and urgently needs to use money to hold his thighs, and many traditional nobles will generally choose the royal family or the church, which has existed for a long time, as a backer, it is difficult for an upstart like him to squeeze in, so why not try a university that is rising and has a bright future?

Therefore, Bai Yicai rejected this offer in his heart, the thighs of the Void Walker are not something that can be reported for a little money, and there have been other nouveau riche who want to do this in the past ten years, and the price they offered is even higher than the one in front of them, and even the young girl in the family has taken it, but it was still rejected by Bai Yizheng awe-inspiringly.

At present, the only one who really hugs the lap of the Void Walker is Miss Wendini's Dowler family, and they mainly rely on how much money they give Bai Yi, but on the relationship between the descendants of businessmen, as well as the relationship between Wentini himself and other girls, in addition, this lovely eldest lady often sells cuteness and coquettishness to Bai Yi and even sells some hue benefits, and finally succeeded in getting on the college boat.

Therefore, this kind of attempt to win over Bai Yi with a revenue share did not work before, and now it will not work.

This nouveau riche saw that Bai Yi looked interested, and also knew that his plan had failed, he thought that the war between the university and the church was imminent, and his offer should be very tempting, but the other side was really like what he said, there was no need for anyone to stand on his side, he just made an offer with the attitude of giving it a try, and there was nothing to say if he failed.

However, he did not leave the scene, because he still had a chance, and he was a little interested in the puppet business proposed by the other party before, and he was ready to see if he could get involved in it after a while to save the country with a curve.

The other nobles also saw his resolute attitude from Bai Yi's reaction, so the second offer seemed much more normal.

The quotation is the tea merchant father and son mentioned earlier, this kind of luxury family has only suffered a heavy blow before, and it has not slowed down a little, but the idea of sending the heir to the university is very stubborn, the nobleman let his son and his entourage carry a coffin-shaped box together, open it and see, it is actually a set of armor?

This set of light gray armor looks quite ordinary, a little similar to the common mage armor outside, but the style is much older, there are no beautiful patterns and no gorgeous decorations on it, and it looks quite old, even if it has been urgently renovated, but the traces left by many years still can't be covered, even compared with Bai Yi's current holy silver armor that has been crawling for many years, this armor is a little old.

The nobles present inevitably laughed, some people had tried to use the armor as a bargaining chip in exchange for a quota before, but without exception they all failed, not to mention the performance of Bai Yi's own holy silver armor, after all, it was rewarded by the emperor himself, and this meaning is extraordinary; Most of the armor used by other walkers was provided by heretical alchemists, and then created by the joint efforts of the forging ghost craftsmen and engineering genius engineers, integrating various cutting-edge ideas including ergonomics, and also specially adjusted for the situation of the Void Walker. Isn't this Guan Gong making a big axe in front of Lu Ban playing a big knife in front of him?

"This armor is an heirloom of our family." The tea merchant nobleman opened his mouth and introduced, "It is said that the ancestor received the reward after helping a strong man, although he did not leave his name, but he also found a lot of knowledgeable masters to come to appraise, they all think that this armor is not a mortal thing, it should be a good gift, right?" ”

These words, which sounded similar to those of charlatans, immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Old Hans, you really took out all your family heirlooms? Still mentioning your family's ridiculous story in front of Master Hope? Hahaha, I'm laughing to death, after so many years, are you still serious? ”

"You usually brag to us, forget it, and still bring this out in public, are you planning to take Dean Hope for a fool? I can't believe you're so naïve? ”

"Hahaha, old Hans, you've got another joke now, and you really think of this thing as a treasure?"

In fact, when this tea merchant was in his prime, he also mentioned this heirloom in his family many times, but at that time his family was fat and oily, and he was a first-line luxury merchant, and his friends at that time took it as a joke after listening to it, and it was okay to compliment it without a trace in a joking way, but now it is different from the past, and his family is about to decay, and it is very funny to bring it up again, and he was naturally ridiculed by this ruthless ridicule.

The tea merchant's face was calm, his face was impassive, and he turned a deaf ear to those ridicules, he was very detailed that his father would not lie to himself, and his grandfather would not lie to his father, this heirloom must be genuine, and others could not see it, but I hope that a character like the dean could not see it?

It's just that the stupid son of the tea merchant is thin-skinned, and his face is suddenly flushed, and he complains about his father, since it has been taken out as a family heirloom, why not make up a better story? Telling the truth like this will be taken as a fool.

And even if this armor is really a good thing, what good things hasn't been seen by the insatiable dean of hope on the other side? Can he look at this scrap of copper and rotten iron?

Just when the father and son had their own thoughts, one looked at Bai Yi with expectation and the other with worry, Bai Yi didn't smile, he just looked at the armor silently, looked at it for a long time, and finally threw the number plate in hand at the tea merchant's stupid son, and said: "You have a good father, remember to work hard after entering school." ”

Everyone present except for the tea merchant was stunned, including the Grand Duke of the South and Miss Wendini who were the audience on the side, everyone present was a well-informed person, and they couldn't see anything in this armor at all, why did the dean of hope, who had a great appetite, agree in one gulp? Is there something wrong with this script?

Bai Yi didn't have the obligation to explain to everyone, he just silently walked in front of the armor, ready to take it off the rack, but finally said to the tea merchant's son: "There are many rules in the university, you can think about it for the last time, if it's okay, I'll take it." ”

He did not consult the tea merchant, because it was not him who went to university, but his son, and of course this kind of matter had to be asked of the person concerned.

At this time, the stupid son had not yet woken up from this turning point, like a puppet, holding the cold number plate in a daze, but his mind was full of thoughts, how did his own broken copper and iron enter the eyes of Dean Hope? Is there really anything extraordinary about this thing? The legend of the ancestors is still true?

He was in the hair, but his father pinched him with hatred and iron beside him, and then he noticed his impolite behavior, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm sorry, Master Hope, I was distracted for a while." ”

"So, are you willing to come to the university and follow all the rules?" Bai Yi asked again patiently.

"Yes! Absolutely! The stupid son hurriedly replied, "Thank you, Master Hope, for giving me this opportunity!" ”

"Okay, when you go back, remember to think about which department you want to attend, and just come over with that number plate when the new students enter." Bai Yi said, and then began to collect the armor in front of him, and added an additional sentence: "In addition, you will call me Dean in the future." ”

The stupid son agreed happily, but the old tea merchant beside him said with a complicated face: "I hope the dean, if you can, can you tell me the origin of this armor?" It has been handed down since our family was a humble little nobleman, and I have investigated its background and found nothing, if you can, can you please tell me? ”

"Aren't you afraid that you'll regret it later?" Bai Yi asked rhetorically.

The tea merchant was stunned for a moment, his mood became a little complicated, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said: "No matter how great the artifact is, if we don't use it ourselves, it is meaningless, compared to the future of future generations, this is nothing, I just have always been curious." ”

"Is that so..."Bai Yi said, taking off the armor in his hand, and putting it in the storage bag as if he was afraid of remorse, he said: "If my judgment is correct, the name of this armor should be... Mystery. ”

With the appearance of this name, all the nobles present let out a gasp, mystery? It's actually the legendary artifact-level armor mystery? Hasn't this thing been gone for 2,000 years? Even the legends have become obscure, and people only know that it is a legendary artifact armor, which is said to have been worn by a powerful paladin, who relied on this armor and smashed all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods with a blessed hammer as he charged; Legend has it that this armor was worn by a powerful druid, who wore it to summon wolves and oak spirits, and used a whirlwind to kill one paladin after another who came to his land to preach.

Similar to what other powerful necromancers have worn, mysterious assassins have passed, there are various versions, there is no orthodox statement, anyway, although people don't understand what this armor is all about, anyway, it feels very powerful, and no one can imagine that the legendary mystery is so simple in appearance, it looks similar to ordinary mage armor, and it is no wonder that it will be regarded as scrap copper and rotten iron, hiding in the basement of a nobleman's house, and not seeing the light of day for thousands of years.

"I don't know what kind of legend it has, even we Voidwalkers don't know about it, I just found its name from a few details on it." Bai Yi explained, while taking out the cuirass from the storage bag again, using magic power to suspend it in midair, and spreading a layer of magic power on it, so he saw a Gurosser-style magic circle appear on the surface of the cuirass.

"You may have heard that the Ancient Rosser Circle also has a linguistic meaning in it, just like the emblem of the Mage Guild, and the meaning of this circle is its name, Mystery." Bai Yi continued.

The nobles present were stunned when they heard it, and few people understood the ancient Rosser magic circle, not to mention the deeper language meaning in it, this matter was too mysterious, but anyway, whether they believed it or not, this dean of hope probably believed it?
