"I swear, this is the last time I've ever attended a so-called aristocratic banquet!" The little man held his forehead in his hands and moaned in a low voice: "Boring people talk about boring topics, you can never imagine that a matter as simple as a sentence can be discussed throughout the night!" ”

"I can imagine what you look like!" Ye Qi took a glass of water and put it in front of his friend: "So, have they negotiated?" ”。

"Ten minutes before the feast ended, the Nosd family signed an agreement with the representative of the Supreme Government called Moretti; Although the content of the agreement is not known for the time being, looking at the face of that Mo Liti, the supreme government has definitely suffered a big loss this time! Picking up the water handed over by his friend, the little man drank it all and continued: "It's definitely not just what we guessed before, it's just some financial compensation, there should be other compensation, and the biggest possibility is to give up the taxes of Sass Port!" ”

Although Ye Qi was unwilling, and even disgusted, to participate in such an aristocratic banquet, before the banquet began, he still guessed the essence of the banquet with his two friends who attended in his place - although the essence of every aristocratic banquet is other existence except for the possibility of a party; However, this time there was an attack on the port of Sasse, something like this has just happened, and it is clear that the actual problem to be solved this time is not difficult to guess.

With the attitude of both sides towards the Port of Saas, coupled with the disgraceful role played by the Supreme Government in the Port of Saas incident, compensation is undoubtedly certain; It's just how much the compensation is, even if it is a small man from a merchant background, there is no specific guess - maybe the little man has a relatively clear price for most of Lorante's goods, and he can treasure any item in the Autumn Forest where he was born and Rantingburg where he is now located, but he only made a rough guess about the compensation that is political in nature after a mixture of various factors.

Of course, it turns out that his speculation is obviously far from the specific compensation; Therefore. After seeing Ye Qi's slightly surprised expression, the little man couldn't help but shrug his shoulders helplessly and said, "Obviously." We all underestimate the wealth of the supreme government! ”

"It's not a wealth that can be described anymore, but Kimpton doesn't care at all!" Ye Qi tapped his fingers on the table, and said while thinking: "If you want to know the annual port tax of Lu Dao, just the part of our knowledge of Lu Dao about Saas Port is an astronomical amount!" Even if you have to make up for it. The Supreme Government has made up too much for this time! ”

A large part of the reason why the Supreme Government acquiesced in the Norsd family's ownership of the port of Saas, in addition to the initial help in the rebellion against the Holy See, was because the Norsd family paid a tax to the Supreme Government every year, just as the lords paid to the king in the past - and this tax payment began in the era of freedom. The Supreme Government has remained unchanged since its establishment; Therefore, although Ye Qi and the little man guessed a lot, they did not guess this aspect.

Because, according to common sense, this is simply impossible!

Taxation, no matter what the era, is one of the signs of the integrity of a country's establishment; If, the tax is exempted. Plus if there is no direct jurisdiction. So what's the difference between it and a country within a state? Although the supreme government is still pursuing a peaceful strategy, this is when there is no fundamental danger, and if anyone crosses the line, the supreme government will kill them in the cradle by thunder, even if it is to make an example of a hundred people; Not to mention allowing such a thing to happen. No matter how stupid the top of the top government is, there is absolutely no such possibility. Unless they look forward to the destruction of the supreme government! …,

And this is obviously even more unlikely, although the top of the government will seek some personal gain for the sake of enjoyment. But they will never forget that the root of these existence is based on the establishment of the supreme government; So, certain bottom lines, they will absolutely abide by; This may seem extremely contradictory, but it is an indisputable fact!

Therefore, just a moment later, Ye Qi shook his head and denied his friend's previous speculation-

"It can't be the tax revenue of Port Sasse that has been abandoned! Unless the supreme government wanted to bring about its own destruction, it would not accept such an offer, and even more so in the present state of the Norsd family, it would never make such an excessive proposal; This is not in line with the noble style of the Nords! After the denial, Ye Qi said a more reasonable and acceptable guess: "Even the return of that Fletcher is impossible; At the age of the other party, they will only seek benefits that are more secure and do not exceed the bottom line of the supreme government, instead of provoking the supreme government like this! ”

"If I were Fletcher, I would have taken full ownership of the port of Sasse, except for a large amount of damages!"

"Full ownership?"

The little man was just stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted with a light in his eyes - undoubtedly, compared to the practice of completely exempting taxes and hurting his foundation; This is just a change in the name of the name, making it more possible that the Northstead family has become 'deserved' in the port of Sasass!

"Existentialities such as the police department that belong to the supreme government will still exist, and they will still be in the name of the supreme government, but they will be replaced by people from the Nosd family! And, add enough Kimpton for a year or more of tax dollars to compensate! As long as the Nosd family makes good use of it, not only can the port of Sasse usher in a period of rapid development again, but it will also become difficult for the supreme government to install people again in the future! ”

"That's right! With Kimpton at the highest level of government as compensation, the Nords-controlled port of Sasse could attract more merchants and investors by lowering taxes! Standing in front of the only window in the room, Ye Qi nodded in agreement with his friend's statement; At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Saas Port, and said slowly: "Coupled with the particularity of Sass Port itself as a maritime transportation hub in the south of Lorent, I am afraid that in the next few days, it will be even more prosperous!" ”

"I'm really looking forward to what Port Sass will look like in a few years!" The little man stood beside Ye Qi, looking at Saass Harbor, where only the lighthouse lights could be seen in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for going to Hailin to find that hateful woman, I really want to make a good fortune!" ”

Although the little man is already a qualified witcher, Kimpton's sensitivity still makes him can't help but be tempted when he sees some business opportunities - this is not about the profession of a witcher, but just the nature of a businessman; And, on the other hand. The blood inherited from the businessman's parents is quite pure.

"You can work with Maury! I think he'll be happy to do it! ”

Ye Qi smiled and proposed to his friend - he was not surprised that his friend was going back to the Hailin District to find Nine Nights of Nightmare; It's as if he's going to the Thousand Swamps District to find the remaining power of faith to increase his strength; Every friend is working his own path, and he just needs to support him. And look forward to the next happier gathering together; After all, there is already a home in Landing that they share - the devil does not cry.

"Maury?"

Quickly, the little man shook his head: "That guy has completely indulged in the basic wizarding basics you gave him, and the second-level business has completely let Linex or Gofa take turns helping Amanda; And. Yesterday at breakfast, I was shouting to everyone that I was proud to be a great wizard or a dark wizard! Even now, he can only make a spoon float! ”…,

"Even with the help of potions, it's not easy to sit down in such a short time to make the spoon float!"

Ye Qi, who knew the 'special relationship' between the little man and the dark merchant, couldn't help but smile and give a correct evaluation - not everyone can become a wizard, which requires a certain amount of talent. Although he does not have to be as outstanding as the apostles, he is definitely far superior to ordinary people; And because of this, during the Dark Ages, there was a wave of bloodlines, and this formed the prototype of the earliest wizarding families, when every wizarding family was proud of its own bloodline, and this pride has been preserved to this day; Even some families still maintain the oldest practice of intermarriage within the family, or between families. In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline.

Although no one can prove the correctness of this descent theory. But it is true that the chances of the next generation of shamans born after such intermarriage are higher than the chances of the next generation after marrying ordinary people—facts speak louder than words, and so the custom has been preserved; Even if it always brings some negative products; For example, deformities or early death.

And even if you have the talent to become a wizard, you don't have to become a wizard for sure - it takes a lot of hard work and sweat; Whether it's reading books or complex experiments, it's a wizard's basic lesson; Of course, there must be a correct way of meditation to mobilize one's spiritual power; And that's going to take quite a long time!

From an ordinary person to an apprentice wizard. It only takes a dozen days or a month for those who are gifted, and those who are less talented are impossible to estimate at all. You may not have entered the wizarding realm until you die - and being able to make the spoon float is one of the signs of becoming a wizard's apprentice; It took about less than two months for the black marketeer. The talent is good enough, even with the help of potions; After all, those potions only helped him gather the divergent spiritual power, not increase the spiritual power, and the root of everything was still on the black market merchant himself.

Of course, being able to make a spoon float is one of the hallmarks of becoming a wizard's apprentice, but black marketeers are still far from a true wizard's apprentice - every wizard is knowledgeable, and the saying has been around since the wilderness; It's not a compliment or a pointless compliment, but a fact; A large number of experiments, countless unfamiliar experimental materials, doomed every wizard's knowledge reserve; Even just a wizard apprentice is definitely far superior to some ordinary scholars in some ways, and in this regard, the black market merchant is undoubtedly far behind.

"Every wizard needs a large amount of Kimpton as a savings fund, whether it is to buy experimental materials or construct some magic models, it is not something that ordinary people can afford! I think Murray's sense of smell must have discovered the secret; So, I don't think he'll turn down your offer! ”

"Then, I'll make an investment plan for you, me, Darlan, Ava and Mori!" After hearing his friend's words, the little man couldn't help but shrug his shoulders: "Although there is an extra share of this guy Maury, if it goes well, I think we can retire early and retire in Landingburgh!" ”

"Retirement?"

After Ye Qi heard this word, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then slowly shook his head: "Ten years later, no, it will be nine years later, and there is still a big war waiting for us; After that big battle. Only then can we truly retire! ”

"Is that big war really like you said, only Solar-level beings can participate in it?".

"If that big war really happens, the ordinary Solar level is just the lowest level of existence!" …,

Facing inquiries from friends. Since the existence of the strange wolf could not be revealed, Ye Qi could only explain it to his friend from other directions - although this explanation was very vague, but after having a bottom line as a yardstick. Everything is clear again.

"The Solar level is just the lowest level of existence? In other words, if you don't even have the strength of the Solar level, then you don't even have the qualifications to participate? ”。 Speaking of this, the little man couldn't help but rub his temples and sighed: "It turns out that the depreciation rate of the solar level is about to catch up with the banknotes!" ”

"It seems that I have to go back to Hailin District earlier!"

At the end, the little man made such a summary.

And this advance time was also surprising to Ye Qi - the next morning, breakfast time. Looking at the little man and Ava who were carrying a simple salute on their backs, Ye Qi immediately put down the cutlery in his hand and stood up.

"Even if you want to go early, don't leave the next day, right? Quite a few words"

"If it weren't for the investment plan to discuss with Maury, I would have set off with Ava last night to return to Hailin District!" The little man stood his bags on the table, smiled and took the breakfast handed over by the young witch and the food prepared by the big man, then turned his head and spread his hands helplessly at Ye Qi: "That feeling of oppression really makes me breathless!" Not reaching the solar level for a day. It's hard to feel at ease in a day! I don't want to be in that big fight. I don't even qualify for a participatory! ”

"Hmm!"

Ava, who was accustomed to silence, only nodded, but expressed his opinion very clearly.

"Well, have a nice trip! We look forward to your return! ”

Looking at the little man and Ava, Ye Qi, who had already been mentally prepared, picked up his milk tea cup.

"Waiting for our good news!"

Bite!

Several cups touched each other gently. There was a crisp sound.

……

In the afternoon after the little man and Ava left, Ye Qi, who had repacked his bags, called his female disciple and another friend, the big man, into the room.

"Teacher. You're leaving, too? ”

As soon as she entered the room, the young witch saw the bag at Ye Qi's feet, although in the morning when the little man and Ava left. The young witch was already mentally prepared; But after seeing that the teacher was determined to leave, there was still a strong reluctance; Therefore, the young witch immediately added, "Teacher, can I join you?" ”。

"If the eagle wants to soar into the sky, it must leave the wings of its elders!" Speaking a proverb that circulated among demon hunters, Ye Qi gently rubbed the hair on the top of his female disciple's head, and said with a smile: "I am different from Datong and Ava, my whereabouts have been watched by countless people, even if I am alone, it is not very easy to get out of the sight of these people!" ”

"What's more, you have now entered a period of rapid growth in strength, and accumulating your own strength is the most important thing you need to consider now; After all, as the head of Tiger's big sister, you have to lead by example! ”

"Yes, teacher!" The young witch nodded, then looked at Ye Qi expectantly, "You'll be back soon, aren't you?" ”。

"I promise to be back as soon as I've done what I need to do!"

Ye Qi assured his female disciple.

"Then, I'll wait for you!"

The young witch looked at her teacher's smiling expression and nodded slightly.

……

After his female disciple left, Ye Qi looked at his friend who had been waiting for a long time.

"The bar will be left to you and Maury!"

"Don't worry, Ye! I'll try! ”…,

The big man had a smile as usual.

"There is also the Moonlight level to enter the Solar level, although what is needed is continuous accumulation, but that flash of inspiration is the most important thing, you don't have to practice too hard, sometimes it is completely relaxed!"

Looking at his smiling friend, Ye Qi tried his best to organize his language and explain to his friend - that's right, the big man who has always been honest is the most powerful existence among his friends, and he has vaguely touched the door of the solar level; And this is naturally inseparable from the big man's usual diligence, and it can even be said that the big man is even more diligent than him; However, it is necessary to achieve solar diligence, but it is not just diligence that is required.

And it is undoubtedly discouraging to be diligent for a long time to gain nothing - although Ye Qi does not think that his friend will be knocked down by such negative emotions, but informing and reminding his friend in advance is what he must do as a friend and companion.

"This, this, I already have a direction!"

Touching the back of his head, the big man looked embarrassed.
