"It's not as strong as you think. Oak's face was a little pale, and it could be seen that his attack was not as easy as he appeared, extinguishing all the flames within a radius of several kilometers at once, even if the magic stored in his body was amazing, he couldn't help such a consumption: "A usage like this can exhaust my magic power at one time." ”

"That's scary, too. The shadow whispered, "Your control over the flames is incredible. ”

"Is this the result of your first evolution?" Shadow asked, "It's not like the other companions, they split into different abilities, but they directly increase the proficiency of fire manipulation by several times, this is the first time I've seen this kind of pure ability improvement." ”

"What are you talking about?" Rand asked.

"Problems between some demon seeds. The shadow stiffly replied.

"That's right, when the magic reaches a certain level, the demon seeds can evolve on the basis of the original, and every time the evolution is successful, a new auxiliary ability will be split on the original ability, such as the devouring ability of the old man Snow, the split perception, my stealth ability, the lightness of the split," the shadow pointed at Oak: "But like him, after evolution, no new ability appears, and only the original ability is increased several times, which is very rare." ”

Rand opened his mouth.

"The purer, the stronger. ”

"Perhaps, but sometimes being strong isn't a good thing, especially for a demon seed. The shadow muttered.

"What did you say?" Rand raised an eyebrow.

"It's nothing, I said we should go down. Shadow glanced at Oak and saw that he had no intention of telling Rand the truth, so he chose to divert the subject very sensibly.

Two hours later, when Old Bill's soldiers found Rand, they had circled the mine a full circle, and had a general idea of the geography of the periphery of the mine and the transport roads.

So when the soldiers offered to take them to meet Old Bill, Rand nodded and agreed to his request.

......

Half an hour later, Rand met Old Bill in the parlor of the Eagle City Lord's Castle.

After learning the news that the fire in the mining area had been extinguished in time, the old Bill's heart was also put back, and the militia concealed the truth that the flames were extinguished, and the flames were extinguished silently, as if they were controlled by the power of the gods, but no one would believe it if they wanted to report according to this statement, and the militia captain thought twice and decided to take the credit on the head of the militia.

Old Bill had a smile on his face as he had replaced his dusty robe from the mines, but his mustache always gave the impression that his smile was malicious and full of hypocrisy.

"Dear Lord Rand, Bill Ben of the Golden Deer Family salutes you, please forgive me for my poor hospitality, a little incident happened in my territory just now......" Old Bill bowed hard, although he didn't take Rand seriously, but when it came to the face of the Capet family, the basic etiquette face still had to be given.

Old Bill's appearance was not pleasing to Lanter, he was short and stocky, the fat on his face shook with his movements, his body was full of the breath of an explosive, his waist was as thick as a water tank, and he needed a special belt to strangle his pants.

His eyes were small, his nose was pointed, and the mustache above his lips reminded Rand of some kind of creature that lived in the gutter.

Old Bill was as treacherous and shameless as a mouse.

Rand remembered what Touron had said about him, and suddenly had a general idea of old Bill.

"Sit down, Lord Bill. I'm a guest, how can there be a reason for a guest to sit and the host stand?" Rand made a gesture of invitation, and then leaned back on the sofa very unceremoniously: "My time is short, let's make a long story short." ”

"I guess you know the purpose of my trip," Rantt said after a pause, "but what I don't understand is why you have to let me go to Eagle City in person?"

"Is it because my auxiliary minister is not weighty, or is the weight of "my" envoy not enough?" Rand decided to strike first, the negotiation is the most focused on momentum, once he is in control of the situation, then old Bill will not want to turn over again, he looked at old Bill meaningfully: "Lord Bill, others say that you are the most loyal to the Capetian family, but in this matter, your behavior is completely different as rumored. ”

"No, no, my lord, you misunderstood. Old Bill was covered with this big hat on his head, and he immediately panicked: "The reason why I rejected your envoy before was only because I wanted to take this opportunity to invite you to come to Eagle City as a guest in person, maybe I didn't make it clear, so you misunderstood what I meant, and my own loyalty to the Capet family is absolutely undoubted." ”

"Lord Ron can testify for me, I also sent a batch of supplies to Lindong City a few days ago. ”

Old Bill let out a low breath, deliberately accentuated the words "Lindong City", and then paid attention to Rand's expression.

Want to use the Capet family to press me?

Behind me was Lord Ron.

But Rand's performance disappointed Old Bill a little, and after he hummed expressionlessly, he didn't show much awe of Lindong City at all.

"Let's not test each other, Lord Bill. Rand smiled: "I came to Eagle City with great sincerity, I hope you can also have a sincere heart, let's talk about the price of the mining area." ”

Old Bill frowned, "This...... Hehe, my lord, can you give me a little more time, there is still a little finishing work in the third mining area......"

"Do you think I'm idle?" Rand interrupted Old Bill's words, "I arrived in Eagle City from a hundred kilometers away by air, leaving behind all government affairs, and you will make me wait a few more days?"

Old Bill couldn't say a word when he was choked.

That's not right, listening to others, isn't Rand a cowardly and incompetent guy?

But is this aggressive guy in front of him who refuses to give in an inch really the rumored shame of Cape?

"Okay, okay, it's okay to talk today," Old Bill endured the heartache, he originally planned to delay Rand for a few more days, so that the miners could enter the mine to dig some ore out, but Rand's request was too urgent, and Old Bill had to give up the idea: "But what do you think of the price I negotiated with your envoy before?"

Rand stretched out his palm and lightly scratched it in the air.

"What do you mean by that?" said Old Bill.

"On the original price, cut it in half!"
