After leaving the town of Shining Gold, the three of Donald headed northwest, neither fast nor slow, and if they met a larger town along the way, they would stay for at least one night, and after a few days, they would completely lose their temper with the silver assassin who was following behind them.

However, Stinger is not the kind of person who gives up easily, he held his breath in his heart, no matter how hard and tired he was, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Fortunately, seeing that Bauhinia City, the capital of the Northwest Province and the base camp of the Marquis of Ansel, Bauhinia City was already in sight, and the three of Donald did not delay any longer and came directly to Bauhinia City.

Just look at the Marquis' Mansion in the city, you can know that Ansel is worthy of being an ancient family inherited for thousands of years, this mansion is built magnificently but not ostentatious, passers-by here, will consciously show respect in the direction of the Marquis's Palace, no one is loud or mocking nearby.

Seeing that there were guards stationed in front of the house, Donald ordered Kael'thas to come forward and deliver a prayer post.

There is no such difficult scene as in the novel, and even the servants and guards of the Ansel family look solemn, and after receiving the post, one of them meticulously goes in to report it.

After a while, Ferdinand, dressed in a simple swordsman's attire, was greeted by a butler.

"Donald, you're here, welcome to Bauhinia City, this time you have to stay for a while, I'll take you to have a good time in the city!"

Donald smiled and hugged Ferdinand, and introduced him to his teacher and Kael'thas.

"Master Messer, welcome to the Ansel family, Mother will be very happy to know that you are here!"

Messer also responded with a smile, he and the marquise also have some friendship, although they are in the territory of the kingdom in two directions, they have not met a few times, but both sides are real mages, and unlike some of the degenerate mages of the Mage Association who have been corrupted by power, they have a bit of sympathy for each other.

"I haven't seen you in a month, but you're growing in strength!" Donald said, glancing at him.

Ferdinand smiled bitterly and said in parallel with Donald:

"You don't know, after my father learned about your plan, he began to strictly supervise my cultivation, saying that if I didn't reach the bronze high level, I wouldn't be allowed to participate in the action. ”

"How can such an interesting thing be without me? So even if I am tired, I will persevere, and maybe I will be luckier than you all by then, and I will make a great discovery there!"

"Lord Marquis is also thinking about you, if you are below silver, it is really dangerous to enter that kind of dangerous place, time waits for no one, if I were not an advanced bronze mage, I would not have planned to start acting so soon!"

Ferdinand listened and said with some pretense of jealousy:

"I really don't know what you guys grew up eating, and you became a bronze mage without making a sound, if it weren't for some progress in this month's cultivation, it is estimated that in a few months, you will completely surpass me!"

"The cultivation of the mage is different from that of the swordsman, you have a family heritage, and the teaching of the Golden Sword Saint Ear, if you still have to complain, then those swordsmen outside who have worked hard all their lives and have not broken through the bronze will all be killed by a head-on?"

As soon as Donald finished speaking, he heard a low voice with a faint majesty say from inside:

"Baron Melina is right, you kid was born in the Marquis's Palace, but you don't know the hardships of the people, it seems that you need to exercise more! You see Baron Merlina, he didn't rely on anyone, and he has grown to the point where he is now, and he can be called the most outstanding nobleman of the younger generation of the kingdom!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged swordsman-like Marquis of Ansel walked out of the hall.

Ferdinand's face suddenly became bitter when he heard this. His father has always been a good teacher, and he likes to train some talented young people, and many officers in the Holy Sword Legion have eaten the guidance of this sword master. Although the Marquis of Ansel's training is never sympathetic, and it will inevitably make you suffer enough, those swordsmen are like masochists.

Especially for Ferdinand's son, who is supposed to lay a solid foundation for the future heir of the family, in fact, he often has some bad taste, and likes to play tricks on people, as if he will be in a good mood when he sees his son depressed or embarrassed.

It doesn't hurt much, it's all inconsequential suffering, but that's what makes Ferdinand unbearable.

However, the Marquis's training is indeed very effective, regardless of the process, so far, among the people who have been trained by Vincent, the lowest strength has also been promoted to the bronze rank, and those veteran silver powerhouses in the Holy Sword Legion are basically his protégés.

As soon as Vincent, Marquis of Ansel, came out, he and Messer exchanged greetings. After all, with the status of Messer Alchemy Master and the First Mage of North County, even a gold powerhouse would not slack off.

Then it was Donald's turn to worship.

"I've seen the Marquis!"

Vincent Ansel stepped forward with a smile and said in a cordial manner:

"Don't be so outward, just call me uncle, and I'll call you Donald like Ferdinand!"

For his son's rare bosom friend, the Marquis of Ansel also loves the house and Wu, plus the recognition of Donald's strength, he is also very appreciative, so the more he looks at him, the more pleasing it is.

"I'm sorry, Edvina is preparing a piece of equipment in the back, so I can't come out to greet you, please go inside and rest, just like your own home!"

After saying that, the Marquis personally led Donald and the others into the hall, and then ordered the butler to tidy up the three rooms and prepare the luncheon.

The people present are not impatient and reckless, so they are not in a hurry to talk about business, after some exchanges, everyone has enhanced some understanding and appreciation of each other, and friendship between people with similar temperaments often comes in this way.

In particular, Marquis Ansel, as a golden sword master, has no shelf at all, just like an uncle next door. Every word makes people feel comfortable.

Only a golden powerhouse can restrain his momentum so thoroughly, this Storm Sword Saint has been promoted to gold for more than ten years, and his mastery of his own strength is naturally not as clumsy as he has just been promoted, and the convergence breath has become a habit like eating and drinking for him.

After a small and warm luncheon, the Marquise of Ansel, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of the Kingdom, and the mother of Ferdinand finally appeared.

When the silver mage saw Messer, he was immediately shocked by his strength. Although he had already heard the news that there were four silver mages in Beijun at once, Messer was really amazed that he had crossed two small realms and was directly promoted to the silver high rank.

The two sides gathered, and then the discussion began.

Donald also showed the Marquis family the evidence of the Grand Arcanist Lord's ruins.

After determining the joint operation and the division of interests, the Ansel's family still needed to make some preparations, but since they had arrived in Bauhinia City, it was not too short of a day or two, and Donald talked to Ferdinand about the deal between them.

"You want some magic metal this time?"

Hearing that Donald had changed the terms of the deal, Ferdinand couldn't make the decision himself, so he went to find his mother.

After Edvina came, she said very simply: "Most of the magic metals are the rarest spell materials, and whatever you want, you must exchange them for items of the same value!"

"Madam, don't worry, my things will surely satisfy you!"

Edwina nodded, the Ansel family's treasury has always been kept by Edwina, and she herself has a lot of private collections, so she simply took Donald to the courtyard behind the Marquis's Mansion where her daily cultivation experiments were.

After disarming the door with a few defensive spells, he invited Donald into his collection room.

Donald saw the small pile of metal on the central shelf for the first time, and his face was beaming.

"You've got a crush on this Adamantite Gold, it's one of my most valuable collections, I wonder what you're trading it for?"

Donald didn't answer right away, but glanced at the collection in the secret room, and then took out two things with a clear understanding.

As soon as Edwina saw the items Donald had taken out, she was pleasantly surprised:

"You little guy has a lot of good things, change it!"

Holding the two kinds of magic gold in her hand, Edvina sighed: "If it weren't for the family mastering a small pure gold vein, I wouldn't have so much pure gold here, I really don't know how you little guy got these Mithril and Blue Gold, now I have all the three magic gold!"

There are only two kinds of magic metals that can be called pure gold in the main material world, mythril and blue-veined magic gold, which are generally called the three major magic gold by the mages of later generations. Blue gold is one of the best mana storage substances, Mithril has the best magic conductivity, and Adamantite is a medium that maximizes the power of spells. The same Adamantite is the material used to craft top-of-the-line weapons. It's not that there aren't better materials, it's that the rarer ones are mostly found in the Outer Plane and the Outer Interface.

After exchanging two pieces of Mithril and two pieces of blue-veined magic gold for the same volume of Adamantium, he looked at the other collections in the secret room, which were not what he urgently needed, so Donald took out another batch of potions and two pieces of equipment, and exchanged them for a small piece of Adamantite.

So far, both parties are very satisfied with the deal, and it can be said that each takes what it needs.

Donald didn't expect that his trip to the Ansel family would have such a reward, with this batch of adamantite, his plan to mint magic coins could be implemented in advance.

This time, Donald met with the Ansel family to discuss cooperation, not only because he was worried about his lack of strength, but also because he was afraid that after the matter was leaked, his side would become the target of public criticism.

What is the value of the relics of an ancient great arcanist master, those mages of the Kingdom Mage Association should know best, if such a behemoth is eyeing him, don't say that his teacher is only a silver high level now, even if the teacher is promoted to gold, there are at least five gold powerhouses, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop those greedy mages.

And pulling the line of the Ansel family is different, when the time comes, it is naturally best to divide the interests, and it is naturally best to be able to keep the secret, if it is inevitable that the news will leak, then the Ansell family can come forward to the front, and a powerful organization like the Algorithm Masters Association will not dare to have any crooked thoughts about this ancient family.

Donald's purpose is to use the big ship Ansel to withstand the wind and waves that may occur in the future.

Otherwise, even if there are many hidden in the ruins, with the help of the Book of Truth, you will definitely be able to eat it. Why bother joining forces with the Ansels?

This is also the reason why Donald's heart is not carried away by greed.

No matter how good the Arcanist's legacy is, it is not as important as his own roots, and having the Book of Truth in his hand is the foundation of his foothold in this world, and everything else is just the icing on the scene.
