The conditions proposed by the sorceress were indeed difficult for the lord, so difficult that it was impossible to fulfill.

The lord must build a magical laboratory for the sorceress to be her own.

The lord, who didn't know what the magic laboratory was, thought that the female magician just wanted a special house to do some experiments, and he didn't think about it and agreed again.

Jian Chen's cheerfulness surprised the female magician, and her pretty face was full of doubts.

"My lord, are you sure you can meet this condition? I heard my father say that you are very poor, so poor that you want to borrow money from the people, even my father borrowed three gold coins from you, and I also read the IOU you wrote to my father, you can't lie to me, right? Do you know what the consequences of cheating a magician are? ”

These words made Chen Jian's face quite unbearable, and it was a bit embarrassing to be questioned by a woman in public, even if this woman was a beauty.

He said angrily: "The master of the ability has always been a good talker, if you don't believe it, you can ask in Hammondale." Isn't it just a laboratory? I'm confident that I can build it! ”

Jian Chen didn't notice at all that behind him, Felix, who heard his words, had an extremely surprised expression on his face.

Building a magic laboratory is not simply a matter of building a house, there is a lot of attention to it, because the magician will study all kinds of magic in it, big or small, if one is not careful, the magic failure is still a trivial matter, in case of causing a magic explosion, it is impossible for an ordinary house to live in.

An ordinary magic laboratory can only be officially completed if it is made according to the drawings specially designed by the magicians, the selection of special building materials, and the numerous magic circles arranged by the alchemists after completion.

If a more advanced magic laboratory needs to add a large number of magic materials in the construction process, such as gems, crystals, sulfur, mercury, etc., it should be noted that these materials are not those things on the earth, although the name is the same, but the use and value are not the same at all.

An ordinary magic material is worth hundreds of gold coins.

In this way, the basic material money, the drawing design fee, the cost of hiring an alchemist, and the magic materials, a minimal and ordinary magic laboratory also needs to cost tens of thousands of gold coins to complete.

And even if it is a magic laboratory, there will definitely be a lot of various magic facilities and research supplies in it, and these valuable things also cost money, and the most basic facilities and supplies alone cost tens of thousands of gold coins.

Felix is different from Hammondal's dirt buns, he has been on a crusade with Queen Catherine, and he has seen and heard a lot, and of course he understands how difficult this condition is put forward by the sorceress, but he didn't expect this lord of Hammondale to agree without thinking about it.

This is not the same as what the intelligence says, is it wrong for the intelligence to say that this lord is poor and white, and the real situation is that this lord is rich and rivals the country?

With the dignity of Empress Catherine, she only built more than a dozen magic laboratories in Standwick City, many of which were due to the great contributions of those magicians in the Restoration War, and the Empress made an exception to agree, which shows how terrifying it is to build a magic laboratory.

On the continent of Erathia, only Bracada, the old kingdom of magicians, has a large number of magic laboratories.

At present, on the mainland, only powerful magic masters who have been famous for a long time and have the support of the state behind them can have their own magic laboratories, and other magicians, sorry, go to the magic guild to rent a public laboratory.

And now, Felix actually saw a not-so-famous magician propose to build a magic laboratory in this remote area that is not rich, which is already shocking enough, and what is even more incredible is that the lord of this area even agreed.

Is it that I can't keep up with the times? Or is the world changing just too fast?

Felix's brain was a mess.

Jian Chen's categorical words made the female magician look at him for a while, and her eyes were full of doubts.

But in the end, she nodded and said, "Alright, if you agree, then our deal is concluded, and from now on, I will be your personal magic advisor, and I will accept your consultation on magic; But I am not in charge of fighting, nor do I obey your unreasonable orders, and I will not strike unless your life is threatened. ”

"What?" Jian Chen was stunned and listened to the female magician's words, a little angry, "Not responsible for fighting? So what do I ask you to do? ”

"That's not my problem, if you're not satisfied, then our deal cancellation is okay."

This sentence made Chen Jian almost choke to death.

However, after much hesitation, the lord still humiliated and signed an unequal treaty with the sorceress.

If nothing else, just for the sentence that when his life is threatened, the other party will take action.

Let's just hire a bodyguard, anyway, it's just to help her build a house, and I still have a little money, so I don't care!

The lord comforted himself.

Then the sorceress pulled out a scroll and handed it to the lord.

"What is this?" Jian Chen was puzzled.

"This is the construction drawing of the magic laboratory, I hope my laboratory can be built according to this drawing, and in this way, you can also save a drawing design fee, which is good for you and me."

When the sorceress said this, she smiled a rare smile at the lord.

Things went unexpectedly well, which made Ash Temple feel very good, but he didn't expect this lord to be so happy, and he used to underestimate him a little.

When he returned to the castle, Jian Chen opened the construction drawings given by the female magician and looked at them, and was dumbfounded on the spot.

The above descriptions and drawings all show that this building, which is quite simple in Chen Jian's eyes, does not seem to be so simple.

The lord, who felt that something was wrong, called the old butler and then Wendel, but neither of them knew anything about magic, let alone the magic laboratory.

The three of them were all black-eyed at the drawings.

In the end, Felixter, who came to the door himself, cleared up the lord's confusion.

After listening to the envoy's explanation, and then looking at the scroll in his hand, Chen Jian was dumbfounded on the spot.

According to the contents of this scroll, after some calculations, everyone was surprised to find that it would take about 120,000 gold coins to build this magic laboratory.

It's a full-fledged, medium-sized magic lab.

This is still the amount after deducting the drawing design fee, according to the special envoy's estimate, such a drawing, the design fee alone is probably thousands of gold coins.

The female magician threw out such a generous drawing.

120,000 gold coins, after spending this period of time, the entire net worth of the Great Lord Chen Jian is not less than 20,000 gold coins.

Not even one-sixth of the total.

And what this money is exchanged for is just a bodyguard who doesn't know whether to rely on it or not.

Chen Jian wanted to cry without tears.

He wanted to repent, but thinking about the smile on the sorceress's face when she left, thinking about the consequences of deceiving a mage, and thinking about her cold-blooded and ruthless appearance on the street of blood that night, the lord's back was in a burst of cold sweat.

This perverted beauty won't be annoyed and angry because she was deceived, right?

"Your Excellency, you are really ......" Felix shook his head repeatedly, he was quite unhappy to see that things had turned out like this.

This lord was too hasty and reckless, and he made a hasty decision before he figured it out, and it would really be too wronged to affect Her Majesty's plans because of such a thing.

"My lord, I think it's better for you to go and find this Miss Temple and make it clear to her, it's not the way to go. I'll go with you then, and I hope that she won't care about me as an envoy! ”

After thinking about it, Felix could only think of such a way, and the old butler nodded again and again on the side, and said that he knew the old Temp, the father of the female magician, and could help talk.

On the continent of Erathia, although the number of magicians is large, it is not so large that it is everywhere like cabbage, which can be seen from the proportion of only two magicians born in Hammondal's population of more than 10,000 people. (There's also a magician who is Bishop Linzer, but this church member only has some superficial physical healing magic.) ）

Therefore, magicians are generally respected, let alone a master magician, and this magician is still so young that the future is limitless.

It would be unwise to make a grudge against such a magician.

And Felix has other plans, it is a pity that such a magician stays in such a small territory, if she can be introduced to Her Majesty, as Her Majesty has always been thirsty for talent, if things succeed, it will be a great achievement.

This not only resolves the lord's predicament, but also allows the empress to have one more useful talent, so that the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone is rare, and it can also allow both the lord and the female magician to accept their favors, how good.

Felix's little abacus was in a hurry.

It's a pity that Jian Chen disappointed him.

After thinking for a while, the lord asked Felix's envoy, "How long does it take to build such a magic laboratory?" ”

The envoy who did not know what to do thought about it thought for a moment and replied, "It should take a year or a year and a half, this is a conservative estimate, and it may be more." ”

These words made Chen Jian's eyes light up: "So, 120,000 gold coins are not a one-time investment?" ”

Seeing that Lord Lord was playing with this idea, Felix couldn't help but laugh secretly: "Lord Lord, of course, but I don't think that Hammondal's tax situation can make so many gold coins in such a short period of time!" If you can't come up with the money, it's ......."

The envoy did not continue, but the meaning was self-evident.

I thought that this lord would retreat from the difficulties when he said this, but to Felix's surprise, Jian Chen waved his hand and said, "One year is enough!" I'll find out when the money comes! ”

A year of time? Chen Jian laughed in his heart, he didn't know what was going on in Hammondale at that time, let's keep people first, and then make excuses when it didn't work.

After a year of getting along, Jian Chen is quite sure that this female magician who resembles Kate Beckinsale will definitely have a better opinion of herself, doesn't it mean that the fierce woman is afraid of pestering men? Even if she doesn't promise herself, at least she will have a little affection, right? If you just find an excuse to go by, you should be able to get by.

And during this time, I have a strong and beautiful female bodyguard!

Jian Chen didn't believe it, he couldn't soak a girl with more than 20 years of experience in two worlds.

When I was in college before, I was familiar with all kinds of weird and whimsical pickle girl Dafa, and the lord was exposed to a lot of them.

Felix's envoy, who was completely ignorant of the lord's beautiful male schemes, the old butler and Wendel looked at the lord in amazement, and couldn't help but be confused, and their faces were all confused.

The next day, the lord suspended the work of the soldiers of the levy guard, and made a special trip to visit the sorceress's home, and made some dispensable inquiries about the construction process of the magic laboratory, and patted his chest and said that the construction would start as soon as possible, but at the same time asked the sorceress to teach herself fire magic before the magic laboratory was built.

"Even if I am your personal magic advisor, of course I can properly teach you some magic knowledge and help you solve your difficulties in learning magic, but I am not your mentor, so I can't teach so systematically."

Regarding Jian Chen's request, the female magician gave the above answer.

Of course, Chen Jian was full of promises to this, learning magic was not his intention, the focus was on the other side.

Pretending to be embarrassed, Jian Chen thought hard in front of the female magician, and then said in embarrassment: "Master Temp, you also know that I am a lord, and I have just taken over the territory not long ago, and the things in my hands are one after another, I can't be busy at all, and I came to you today, and it is also the time to squeeze out the matter of conscription, so I have a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree." ”

"What's the matter?"

"That's right, Master Temple, I hope that you can be by my side when I am on official business and dining, of course, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just hope to listen to your teachings when dealing with official business and meals, but I also know that such a request is a bit excessive, if you feel embarrassed, you don't have to agree, I will find a way to arrange another time."

When he said this, Jian Chen's face was sincere.

Then he added: "I also know that a beautiful woman like you will always come up with such and such reasons and excuses to approach you, and it is easy for you to misunderstand me when I make such a request, but I still hope that you will think about it." ”

The female magician stared at Jian Chen's eyes for a long time, and the lord who looked directly at it was furious, wondering if she had been seen through?

"I'll try it for two days, and if things turn out as you say, I won't mind; But if I find out that you are lying to me, I will still say that the consequences of cheating a magician are very serious! ”

In the end, the female magician still gave an answer that Jian Chen could accept.
