"Lord Claude, although the Nether Robe can hide the aura of the dark mage, I still do not support Lord Claude for you to leave Lord Mar Saha in the Lord's Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Tiberius said from the side.

Hearing Tiberius's words, Mar Saha did not show an angry look on his face, Mar Saha just looked at Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City in front of him, and only Meng Fan could decide whether he would stay.

"Mar Saha, you just said that there are things you desire here, and I want to know... Are those things you desire good for me, or are they harmful?" Meng Fan stared at the dark mage in front of him.

A smile appeared on Mar Saha's pale face, "Lord Claude, I believe that in the near future, you will look forward to having these things more than I do..." The black-robed man in front of Meng Fan made a hoarse voice.

After listening to Mar Saha's answer, Meng Fan laughed, "If that's the case, Mar Saha, I, Claude Kuru, welcome you to my side. Meng Fan stretched out his right hand and patted the black-robed man's shoulder.

Mar Saha's blood-red eyes swept over Meng Fan's right hand, which had two fingers missing, "Lord Claude, it is my greatest honor to be able to serve you. Mar Saha put his hands on his chest and bowed respectfully to Meng Fan.

――――――――――――

Half a year later, in the autumn of 7140 in the Guangming calendar.

Meng Fan rode a carriage to a watch shop in Black Rock City, and Meng Fan entered the watch shop with Parker, the butler, and Mar Saha, the dark magician. "My lord, welcome to your visit..." The owner of the watch shop stood in the room and warmly welcomed Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City.

"Mistress Claude needs to buy a pocket watch, and take a look at all the fine goods in your shop. Parker instructed the owner of the watch shop.

"Okay, okay..." the boss nodded repeatedly, "Quickly get out those good pocket watches." The boss turned to the shop and shouted to the hired apprentice.

Soon, five bright and delicate pocket watches were placed in front of Meng Fan, sitting on the chair, Meng Fan glanced at the few pocket watches placed on the table, picked up a silver pocket watch at random, Meng Fan looked at the silver pocket watch in his hand.

Pocket watches are a very old type of timekeeper, and it is said that the first pocket watches were born in the 15th century, before the development of watches on the earth, before the development of watches.

On the Qinglan Continent, pocket watches have been produced for almost five hundred years, and it is said that a master craftsman named Florosa made the first pocket watch, this Florosa master not only created pocket watches, but also invented many other things, Florosa is known as the greatest master craftsman ever in the history of the Qinglan Continent.

"Just pick this one. Meng Fan put the silver pocket watch in his hand on the table and said, "Lord Claude, you really have a pair of discerning eyes, this pocket watch is made of the same material as the one originally made by Master Flosa, and it is made according to the same model, and the accuracy is very high..."

"Boss, please hurry up and put this pocket watch on the bracelet, Master Claude still has something to take care of. Parker, the butler, interrupted the watch shopkeeper.

"Yes, yes..." The boss quickly waved his hand to the apprentice, picked up a silver watch chain from the apprentice's hand, and the boss personally attached the chain to the lord's pocket watch.

Coming out of the watch shop and sitting in the carriage, Meng Fan took out the pocket watch in his pocket, opened the cover with a "snap", and looked at the beating hands, Meng Fan laughed, "Parker, you don't have to rush the shopkeeper so much, I still want to talk to the shopkeeper about the production process of this pocket watch." Meng Fan put the pocket watch in his hand on the lid and said.

"But Claude, isn't Lord Mitre of Giant Wood City coming to the Lord's Mansion today?" Parker, who was sitting opposite, said, "That's right, they should have arrived at the Lord's Mansion by now..." Meng Fan opened his pocket watch with a "snap" again.

"Claude, it's not good to keep Lord Mitre of Giant Wood City waiting for a long time. Parker whispered, "Hehe, what's wrong, I arranged for Tiberius to entertain them in the lord's mansion, aren't I going out to buy something? It's not normal to go back later..." Meng Fan covered his watch and said with a smile, and the dark mage Mar Saha, who was sitting next to Meng Fan, also had a smile in his blood-red eyes.

Parker looked at Meng Fan in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, "Parker, you may not know that the Lord of Giant Wood City, Mitre, came to Black Rock City to ask me..." Meng Fan opened the cover of the table and looked at Parker and said, in Meng Fan's words, he did not have any respect for Mitre, the Lord of Giant Wood City.

"Do you want to ask you?" Parker rubbed his hands, "Yes, Mitre owes us a lot of money in Blackstone City, and this young lord has no way to pay me back now, so he can only come to me obediently..." Meng Fan put the pocket watch in his hand back on and showed a pleasant smile.

In the living room of the Black Rock City Lord's Mansion, a young yellow-haired man sat on a chair, and next to the yellow-haired man sat a middle-aged man in a blue robe.

Opposite the two sat Tiberius, the most trusted deputy of Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, "Your Excellency Tiberius, hasn't Lord Claude come back yet?" The young yellow-haired man sitting in the chair looked at Tiberius sitting in front of him a little crampedly.

"It may take a while for Lord Claude to return, Mistress Mitre, have another cup of tea, I'm sure Lord Claude will be back soon. Tiberius, who was sitting in a chair, said with a flat expression.

Mitre, the lord of Giant Wood City, has been in the Lord's Mansion for almost two hours, but until now Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, has not returned, Tiberius said that the lord went to the city to buy pocket watches, knowing that he was going to visit today, and left the lord's mansion early in the morning to buy pocket watches in the city, how can this be regarded as hospitality, but Mitre, who is the lord of Giant Wood City, is the same as Meng Fan, the lord of Black Rock City, in terms of identity and status.

"Hmph" After listening to Tiberius's words, the middle-aged man sitting next to Mitre couldn't help but pat heavily on the arm of the chair, Tiberius glanced at the middle-aged man who came with the lord of Giant Wood City, this middle-aged man is Mitre's uncle Kars, Kars, like Tiberius, also holds the position of tax collector of Giant Wood City.

"Master Claude is back. A servant came in to report, and Mittel, who was sitting in his chair, quickly stood up, "Oh, Mistress Mitre, I've kept you waiting. Meng Fan walked into the living room with the butler Parker and the dark mage Mar Sahar, and Meng Fan greeted Mitre, the lord of Giant Wood City, with a smile on his face.

"Lord Claude. Mitre and his uncle Kars, who had come with him, saluted Meng Fan. "Please sit down. Meng Fan sat down in his chair and stretched out his hand to Mitre and Kars.

Sitting in his chair, Mitre looked at the Lord of Blackstone, Claude Kuru, who was only three or four years older than him.
