As soon as the old butler's words fell, Quinn shivered inexplicably. At this moment, he really felt what "murderous aura" was, as if the throat was really being held against a sharp weapon, which was the instinct of survival in the human body frantically making a warning: the old man next to him was very dangerous, very dangerous.

Even though he just stood in a proper manner, not even moving.

"Spikes made of steel? Quinn raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, "Alright, alright, I admit defeat." ”

"Please rest assured, with a ruthless character like you, I won't be foolish to go against the Edward family. ”

"It's a pity that there are still many stupid people in this world. The old butler made the atmosphere tense again.

"I know, it seems that I must give you a satisfactory answer today. Quinn smiled bitterly.

"Where to start? Maybe Al once told you that I'm an apocalyptic believer?" asked Quinn.

The old butler nodded, "The young master once mentioned it to me. ”

"It's for your reassurance, but it doesn't seem to be enough to raise the suspicion in your heart. Quinn, staring at the circular building in front of him, a rare sentimental look on his face, "yes, who would believe it? Everyone thinks it's just the babbling of a madman." But I believe it, because ...... That person would never lie to me. ”

"No one agrees with me, whether in my homeland in the east, or in the heart of this kingdom, and no one understands me. Fools, idiots, losers...... I'm covered in that label, and of course I don't care about it. ”

"I don't care about them, and I don't care what they think. ”

"It's just...... It's just a little lonely. ”

"A great person is often ostracized, repressed, and even denounced as grandstanding and lonely, according to a man named Nietzsche. The old butler said suddenly.

Quinn looked at the old butler with some surprise, "Are you comforting me?" and laughed like a child, "The man who said this must be a madman." And I, too, am not that great. ”

"At the end of the day, I just believe what I believe, and that's just paranoia. I am not so arrogant that I am right and the world is wrong. ”

"I just said, I don't care. ”

"But that day I met Al, and for the first time someone agreed with me, agreed with the apocalypse, and argued for it. To be honest, I was very happy and impressed. ”

"Sir, you asked me what my purpose was for approaching El?", Quinn shook his head, "It's not close, it's a chance encounter, or rather an encounter?"

"For me, Al is my friend and my comrade. ”

"So that's why you decided to help Young Master El?", the old butler asked.

"Isn't that enough?", Quinn asked rhetorically.

"With your observation, you should have discovered that Al has been afraid of something, and has been silently preparing for this. To be honest, he worked hard enough, even harder than many people from humble backgrounds, and for a nobleman like him, the reason for his struggle was nothing more than two ambitions, or fear. ”

"With all due respect, he really doesn't look like an ambitious man. ”

The old butler was silent for a moment and nodded, "I have seen the efforts of Young Master El, but he has not said anything, and as a subordinate, I don't want to ask too much, so I can only support him silently." ”

"As for all the preparations I've made before, I can't do nothing after all these years in Shenghui City, right? Although I believe in doomsdayism, I'm not so pessimistic as to wait for death. Even the ants on the ground have to struggle twice when they are crushed to death. ”

As he spoke, Quinn beckoned two workers to carry a box dug out of the field.

"Please open it and take a look. ”

Seeing that the old butler looked at him suspiciously, Quinn smiled bitterly and rolled up his sleeve, "This box is specially made by the craftsman I specially ordered, and it is extremely strong. Like I have no power to tie the chicken, I will definitely not be able to open it with my bare hands. ”

The old butler stopped talking nonsense, and slapped the box with a "snap" of luck, and directly smashed the top of the box.

Quinn smacked his tongue when he saw it, you must know that he didn't lie just now, these boxes are made of special wood in order to seal them, but he didn't expect them to be broken so easily by the old butler's palm.

Quinn quietly looked at the old butler's thick, bruised hands, "If you hit yourself, you have to split the bones." ”

Lost from the lid of the box, the sunlight revealed the inside of the box: the box was divided into several spaces, each containing a lump of unidentified substance wrapped in oiled paper.

Quinn stepped forward and opened a space of oiled paper, revealing a piece of fresh, bamboo-like plants. However, compared to ordinary young bamboo, this plant has dense light-colored patterns, which looks very mysterious.

"It's ......," even the well-informed old butler couldn't tell.

"The Jade Heart, produced in the Silver Moon Forest of the South, is an essential magical material for mages to carve special circles. Quinn said.

The old butler reacted suddenly, he looked at the workers who were still carrying the boxes, and asked in disbelief, "Is it ...... Are these chests full of magical materials?"

Quinn nodded, and said proudly, "These are the biggest gains and achievements I have gained from so many years in Shenghui City. ”

The old butler still felt incredulous, "Where did you get so many magic materials?" Many magic materials are restricted from circulation, and even if you have money, some of them can't be bought. ”

"This is naturally thanks to our majesty, his palace magic group, the annual consumption of magic materials is an astronomical amount. After so many years, the country's treasury has long been empty, and as far as I know, His Majesty has even borrowed a lot of money from many banks in various names. Quinn said with a chuckle.

The old butler's face changed, "So you colluded and bribed those managers to steal these magic materials from them, just like the armaments in the warehouses of the military department?"

"No, no. Quinn shook his head, "Not exactly, stealing alone is not enough, and the risk is too great." In fact, because the Rodriguez family, which was born in the East, itself was engaged in the trading of magic materials in the East, and as one of the main suppliers, it was natural that there was a cooperative relationship with several other suppliers. There are many ways to cheat, and this is also a tacit practice, and then find a way for them to transfer this part to me. ”

"There are also people who have seven emotions and six desires, and the mages of the palace magic group are naturally no exception, as long as they have desires, I always have a way to exchange some wasted magic materials with them. ”

"Over time, I have stored so much before I know it. ”
