[Very tired, from tomorrow, no less than three shifts]

Saleen stayed up in his room for three days, and the wound on his face finally subsided and he was ready to see someone. In front of the mirror, Sarri examines his appearance.

It turned out that the weak boy could no longer be seen, and Salen was now fair-skinned and had a healthy sense of moisture. His hair also changed from brown to black, with a pair of blue eyes and a slightly high nose bridge, which looked a little different from Qin Yinren.

The brocade mage's robes were draped over the body, spotless. In this way, he is an enviable aristocratic mage. Who would have thought that a few years ago, he was an orphan begging on the street.

Nellis came out behind Salin, looked at Salin in the mirror, and said, "Master, do you really plan to follow Rex all the time?"

Salin looked at Neris in the mirror, Neris was still the same outfit that had changed at the beginning, a little wild, but her face was gorgeous and noble, and she couldn't tell that she wasn't a human at all.

"Yes, I promised. ”

"Isn't that the same as me?" said Neris with a somewhat mournful expression, as if she was not worth it for Salin.

"Nellis, this is an equivalent exchange. ”

"What do you mean by equivalent exchange?" Nellis's turquoise eyes were somewhat like Joey's.

"Equivalent exchange is that you have to pay the same price for what you want to get. ”

"The master got me at no cost?" asked Neris, puzzled.

"Why not? If someone finds out who you are, I'll either abandon you or risk my life. There are too many people who want to get you, and in this world, there will always be people who refuse to follow the rules. ”

"Master won't give up on me, will he?" Neris leaned lightly against Saleen's body, her expression becoming like that of a poor child.

"Master Sarin, the county lord asks you to come over. "There was a knock on the door of the county lord's swordsman.

"Here it is. Salin thought for a moment and said to Nellis, "You can follow along." ”

The last time he confronted the Cloud Streamer, he had a feeling of insecurity. After all, he is only a second-level mage, and if he doesn't have strong martial arts around him, he will always look very vulnerable.

Rex had already changed his outfit and was waiting for Saleen, looking like he was going to go out. Not only did she bring Fei Lun, but the four Black Iron Sword Saints also followed. After a few days of not seeing each other, Rex's complexion was much better, and there was no depression on his face.

"Salin, let's go, let's go meet the Clyde family. ”

"County Lord, are you going in person?"

"Well, he's a count. ”

Salin nodded, Bitterwater County is very remote, but if the county is mainly doing business, the Clyde family will definitely be willing to open up this trade route. The county lord established a country, and he had to buy a large number of weapons and armor, which was not something that the alchemists of Kushui County could handle, and the number would be extremely large.

The cities around Kushui County also need to be renovated, and this construction is another big money. There are enough mages in Kushui County, and there is no need to buy necessities such as alchemy drawings, but the materials for building the city, such as stone and wood, have to be provided by the trading firm.

With this business, Rex was able to establish a long-lasting relationship with the Clyde family. Moreover, if the Clyde family is the first to establish a trading house in the country of Kushui, they will get great tax benefits.

Seeing that Rex had brought all the combatants, Saleen asked Neris to call Sika and leave Sika alone in the palace, which made him even more uneasy.

This time, Rex couldn't go through the front door, and her carriage and horses were waiting at the side door. As soon as I got into the car, it started to rain in the sky. The rain was fine, like a light mist, and the swordsmen put on their cloaks and hoods, and the mages also held up invisible shields and walked quietly in the rain.

When Saleen entered the Holy Rock City, he made a detour and entered due north. However, the Clyde family's station is due west, which happens to be in the direction of Bitterwater.

Saleen found that the farther away from the palace, the more extravagant the building became. The worst buildings are all blue steel brick and wood structures, and buildings with more than three floors basically have traces of alchemist design. After walking less than three miles, I saw a mansion in the distance.

The soaring roof is in the style of the First Dynasty, simple and solemn. There are two small doors directly on both sides of the gate, and the vault is curved, like a fortress, but there is no narrow feeling of a fortress.

The front gate has a huge coat of arms-like motif of a recumbent male lion. Salin remembered the badge that Aini had given him, the lion was the same as the image on the badge.

In front of the door, there was a man who looked like a butler, wearing a robe and holding an umbrella, standing there waiting. Rex's carriage stopped in front of the door, and the butler-like man greeted him, put away his umbrella, and saluted respectfully to the carriage.

"Your Excellency, it would be rude for the Earl not to come out to greet him in person. ”

This steward had long heard about the deeds of Lord Rex, and his heart was worried. Now Rex is something that no one in the entire Holy Rock City wants to provoke, and it's not easy to get involved. I don't know what she came to do with the Earl this time, it doesn't matter if it's a stopby, but Rex sent a famous post in advance.

"Got it, lead the way. ”

Rex answered, the carriage door opened, and she stepped out. The housekeeper's eyes were a little straight, but fortunately, his professionalism over the years was still there, and he hurriedly bowed down and made a gesture of please.

Rex got out of the carriage, and the rain was falling outside of her body, her colorful mage robes like flowers blooming in the rain.

Salin and other life mages also got out of the car and followed the butler into the Earl's Palace. Dozens of servants greeted the door, settling the swordsman and battle mage's horses, and there was silence along the way.

Salin observed carefully that the Clyde family's mansion was very simple, without the chaotic style of the buildings outside, all simple geometric lines, and the houses were mostly on both sides, with wide doors and windows. Those servants who served obviously had martial arts skills, and there were no masters, at most they were intermediate swordsmen, but as servants, this was already very good.

Judging from the size of the Earl's Palace, it is not a problem to live in thousands of people, so many swordsmen, it is possible to form a small army. The butler Salin couldn't see any martial arts, and there were no elemental fluctuations on his body, so he was probably a magic apprentice.

Many magic apprentices will give up the pursuit of magical knowledge and switch to other professions because they cannot be promoted to mages. Because magic apprentices are literate, it is a good choice to handle accounts on behalf of others, be a housekeeper, and be an enlightenment teacher. There are also some magic apprentices who even go to learn martial arts and become magic swordsmen.

Most magicians look down on apprentices who change careers like this, but Salin understands them. If you don't have money and talent, if you don't change careers, you can only starve to death.

On the opposite side of the huge courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed in aristocratic clothing stood at the foot of the steps, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Rex and his party from a distance, he laughed first and raised his voice: "County Lord, I can't go out to greet you, don't blame me." ”

This is the current patriarch of the Clyde family? Salin looked at it intently, this middle-aged man had thick black eyebrows, a square face, a short beard, wheat-colored skin, and steady hands and feet.

Rex nodded, not showing much enthusiasm. There are a lot of earls in Yanjing, even if she is here to discuss business, there is no need to lower her posture, the difference between the levels of the two sides is there, and she is a fifth-level mage.

Until the living room, Saleen didn't see a single strong man of the Clyde family appear. The living room is large, and the tall glass windows open onto a small garden. Green silk vines hung down from above, damp in the rain. The crystal lamps on the ceiling Saleen had seen them in the castle where Baron Cook was stationed, and it was probably sold by the Clyde family.

The Earl accompanied him, and there was a young man present, whose face was somewhat similar to the Earl, and it was estimated that he was the Earl's son.

The maid brought the tea, and the two female mages beside Rex smiled and took out the tea set and tea leaves she had with her, and made a repair water. Juan unleashed a burning spell and quietly boiled tea on the side, and the count was a little embarrassed, and then told the maid to remove the tea.

There were many nobles who carried wine utensils, cigarette utensils or tea utensils, and it was the first time the earl had seen such a pomp as the lord of Rex.

Salin watched from the sidelines and learned another trick. Rex invisibly, he had suppressed the Count in momentum. Even if she is not the lord of the empire, she is not comparable to the earl.

The number of mages in the Clyde family is not too small, but they are not extravagant enough to make tea.

"Spartian, I originally wanted to wait for you to enter the palace, but unfortunately I couldn't stay for a few days this time, so I came to the door in person. Father is going on an expedition, and you Clyde family have too many things to do, and I don't think you have that time to spare. Rex took the tea from Nania, put it under her lips, and blew on it.

"Yes," Count Spartian sighed, "the people in the family have been busy transporting military supplies these days, and even the business in the north of the city has stopped. What are the county lord's orders for coming this time?"

"You are the one who is favored by your father, where can I tell you?" the Lord of Rex took a sip, the smile on his face was shallow, like a magic formula, flawless.

Count Spartian's face turned red, he relied on the emperor to maintain the glory of the family, but he did not dare to go out to meet Rex, for fear of causing the dissatisfaction of the other nobles. When Rex said this, he was clearly reprimanding him. However, he is also a sleek person, and he didn't mention the pressure of Prince Phoenix at all, but said: "County Lord, I was originally going to enter the palace, but the other three families are also staring, I really can't figure out what you mean." ”

"What I mean......" Rex put down the tea in his hand and looked at Count Spartian, Count Spartian's heart rose to his throat, and Rex said lightly: "The business in the east of Kushui County, I will hand it over to Salin." This is Salin, you know each other. ”

Rex pointed at Salin, but said nothing else, his eyelids drooping, as if meditating.

The Earl of Spartian, however, was overjoyed, and the Lord of Rex said this to approve the Clyde family's business in Bitterwater. In the past, the business of Kushui County was controlled by the county lord's government, and once the country was established, the business would expand more than a hundred times. As soon as he heard the news of the palace, he realized that this was a great business opportunity.

"Master Saleen, I'm Spartian von Clyde. Count Spartian did not mean to despise Saleen at all because of his age, and introduced himself to Saleen very politely.

"I'm Saleen, Saleen Metatrin. "Saleen was a little surprised, Rex pushed himself out so lightly, did he really believe that he would handle the business of the Clyde family?
