Chapter 6: Viscount Guge's Invitation (Part I)
[There are updates today, no less than six thousand per day in the future, I'm not a 2k party, don't look at the number of updates]
"I'm Salin, excuse me, what's the matter?" Salin stopped and turned around. The two swordsmen were a head taller than him, and he stared into each other's eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, as if he was looking up, but the other was bowing to him. He seemed to have an invisible hood from head to toe, and the rain was blocked above his body, forming a curtain of water.
This is the 8th level 0 magic of the Salin Society, the Invisible Shield.
"It's not convenient to talk in the rain, please come here. "The blonde swordsman knew that Chris was drenched, and the Viscount had repeatedly told him to show respect to the child.
Salin nodded, motioning for the other party to lead the way.
Moving Qi and raising the body, Salin is no longer the orphan of three years ago, his identity has changed, and his temperament has also changed. The magic apprentice may not have much combat power, but there is a fifth-level magician behind him. No force in Ceylon dared to do anything unfavorable to Saleen.
Jason kidnapped him out of prison, and Lord Viscount hadn't farted yet.
Salin's reserved attitude made the blonde swordsman feel that things were a little difficult to do, after all, Lord Viscount had been rejected by the magician, and this little child was probably difficult to deal with.
Approaching the deserted tavern, Chris shook his wet hair and called the waiter.
"Two copies of Lielan, well, Master Sarin......"
"Give me a glass of water. Salin and the blonde swordsman sat down face to face, and instead of removing the huge leather bag behind him, he simply tied the money bag around his waist. The blonde swordsman is very sensitive to weight, and the leather bag behind Saleen contains at least a hundred pounds of things. Looking at his not yet fully developed body, it seemed that it was not difficult to carry this skin on his back.
This body is definitely the standard of a swordsman, not a magician.
A magical apprentice with a strong physique, the blonde swordsman began to take Salin seriously. It seems that the magician is indeed a mysterious and powerful figure, three years ago, this child was dying of hunger, what kind of physique can he have.
The waiter brought wine and water, and did not squint. As soon as Saleen entered, he noticed the young man's robes, and he was even less daring to make a noise when he heard Chris call the young man a mage.
Chrisse gave him a silver coin and said, "Close the door, you go to the back, no one calls you, don't come out." β
Even if it doesn't rain, there won't be too many people in this tavern. Moreover, these two swordsmen belong to the City Lord's Mansion, even if the boss is here, he does not dare to object. The waiter hurriedly closed the door, latched it, and obediently hid behind.
Saleen picked up the glass of water and cast a level 0 magic - Toxin Detection.
The water was safe, of course, and Salin was just practicing magic in passing. That pitiful bit of magic can't be used in battle anyway. What's more, he himself had sold highly poisonous magic potions in Ceylon City, and if he was poisoned by the potions he made, then he would be the pathetic magic apprentice in the world.
"Master Salin, it's Viscount Guge who asked us to visit you. "The blonde swordsman is indecent, he is obviously intercepting on the way, if he visits, he should go outside the city.
Saleen smiled, not minding the blonde swordsman's words. My own house, now basically no one dares to approach. The teacher didn't allow it, and even the lord of the city had to avoid it.
"I don't have much time, I'm going back before dark, just tell me. Salin took a sip of water and narrowed his eyes.
Viscount Googe FregnΓ© was the master of the city of Ceylon, where the Freyne family had always been entrenched, and when the city of Ceylon declined, so did the Freyne. From a second-class count to a first-class viscount, a large amount of land was lost, and His Majesty the Emperor did not even bother to read any gazettes of the city of Ceylon. There is no oil or water left here, and at the same time it is abandoned by adventurers and merchants.
Salin's teacher, Jason Statham, was the first magician to stay in Ceylon City in two hundred years, and this is a fifth-level magician, as long as he goes one more level, he can build a magic tower.
As soon as Jason appeared, Viscount Guge expressed his intention to solicit. Jason drove the people away, and Viscount Guge never tried again. The first time it was to drive people out, and the next time it might be to kill someone.
After three years, the Viscount has found him, what good will happen? Salin thought in his heart, not squinting.
"Master Salin, Lord Viscount would like to invite you to participate in the Midyear Festival Sea Festival. The blonde swordsman took a sip of Lielan, and warmth instantly flooded his body. Chris wiped his hair with a towel on the side, and the two men looked at Saleen, waiting for an answer.
"Gone?" Salin was a little disappointed, although this invitation was important, he would have preferred a few hundred gold coins. Salin is now in a hurry to wait for the money, Decca's ability to receive goods has reached its limit, and Salin can't wring water out of the stone no matter how anxious he is.
The Midyear Festival is an important festival in the north of Scochenia, and the coastal cities will have more celebrations to worship the sea and thank the sea for its gifts. This is the only memorial left to the continent of Mels after the fall of the goddess of nature.
This is the festival of the common people, but it is also a festival for the nobles to show off to each other.
Viscount Guge knew that he couldn't get Jason, so he turned his mind to himself. Having a magician invited to attend is definitely a very face-saving thing. Although Salin is still young, this calculation can still be seen.
"Your Excellency would like to ask you to dress formally, and this is a thank you. The blonde swordsman unconsciously used an honorific. Salin's attitude made him unable to comprehend, such a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy did not seem to react at all. He had no choice but to take out the gift, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Salin.
Formally, Salin looked at his robe, and didn't think anything was wrong.
The blonde swordsman pushed over a small box, which Salin opened casually, his eyes glazed. Ten cores were neatly stacked in the box, each the size of a thumb, gleaming in the dim lights of the tavern. Underneath the magic core, there are several deposit notes of the Imperial Bank, looking at the color, it should be the denomination of a thousand gold coins.
Salin's heart beat wildly, the magic core may be level three, each worth more than one hundred and fifty gold coins, and the deposit ticket is estimated to be four or five thousand, which is a lot of money.
Attending a celebration and hiring a magical apprentice doesn't have to cost so much at all. Even if Saleen has no experience away from home, there are many Skochenian mercenaries, and no matter how difficult it is to hire a magician, so many gold coins can be invited. At least it would be a full-fledged magician, not an apprentice. Salin understood these truths when he thought about them.
The purpose of the viscount is to win over his own teacher. If the money is collected, the teacher will know about it......
Seeing that Salin gently closed the lid without blinking his eyelids, the blonde swordsman felt that something was wrong. He said in a low voice: "Master Salin, the Viscount's meaning is to ask you to temporarily disguise yourself as a magician, this has nothing to do with your teacher, and your lord still wants to ask you for help." β
"What's your name?" Salin suddenly asked the blonde swordsman.
"Ulysses, Ulysses Cuya. The blonde swordsman didn't know what Saleen was asking for his name.
"Ulysses, you go back and tell Viscount Guge that I will visit the palace when I enter the city next week. Now, I'm going back, and the teacher doesn't like to wait. Salin smiled, stood up, opened the door, and stepped into the rain.
The wooden box on the table did not move, and was quietly placed there. Ulysses didn't dare to stop or chase after him, and Saleen's last words were reminding himself. Behind him, there is a fifth-level magician, and all means are useless.
In the city lord's mansion of Ceylon City, Viscount Guge was waiting for his wife in sweat. Between the long hair on his chest and abdomen, you can vaguely see the traces of the effort he made when he was young, and the lumps of muscles are very shapely.
"Hurry, hurry!" the viscountess was young and enchanting, her mature body writhing desperately, but Guge had stolen love with her personal maid at noon, and she was powerless at the moment.
"Nasha......" Viscount fell down and pressed on Madame.
The Viscountess pushed Guge away, looking up to the sky and panting. She also knew that Guge must be stealing behind her back, but for the nobles, it was not a surprise. Guge still has some benefits, at least not associating with those dangerous women. The problem is that she has to find something to vent her dissatisfaction with.
"Guge, I heard that you took out 5,000 gold coins for that kid?"
"Is a magic apprentice worth so much?" the Viscountess was not uninformed, her father was also the head of a trading house, and when she was a child, she traveled from north to south, and she saw too many strange things.
"His teacher is worth it. "Guge said this, and came to the spirit. He said to his wife, "I don't have enough money now, so ask your father to bring me another 10,000 gold coins." β
"What are you and my father?" the viscountess kicked Guge lightly.
Master Guge lay down with a calm face, and began to suck Mrs. Yun with his tongue. The Viscountess groaned twice, patted Guge's head, and said, "Come on, let me ask you, what are you going to do with this money?"
Gu Ge hugged his wife and said in a low voice: "In the past few years, your father has spent more than 100,000 gold coins for my title. There is not much of a problem with the Elders' side, but I don't have any political achievements here, and if I want to restore the family title and get the land back, I have to do something to get His Majesty to pay attention. β
"What does this have to do with that magic apprentice?" Madame still didn't figure it out.
"The magician won't come to me, and I can't help it. But his students are different, and I heard that the kid named Salin is desperately trying to get money. As long as I give him money, he will naturally do things for me. β
"An apprentice is incompetent. "The Viscountess is indeed not a layman, even if she is a high-level magic apprentice, at most she is at the level of a mid-level swordsman. There may not be any high-level professionals in the mansion, but middle-level swordsmen can still make up one hundred and eighty. Ulysses, even the youngest junior swordsman in this area, had already formed a sword aura.
"He's just a piece of shit, and he's the shit that represents that fifth-level magician. As soon as winter came, I asked him to accompany me to clear the pirates, and when I reported to His Majesty, I said that with the help of a fifth-level magician, the elimination was successful. At that time, the entire Yan Kyoto will know that I have a great magician to support the matter of the title, and no one will object to it. β
"But here is so poor, where are the pirates?"
"I've executed a lot of prisoners in the past few years, but I actually kept them, and when the time comes, I throw them on the ship, and who knows if it's a pirate or a prisoner. The key is to get that Saleen to follow. Get back the boat I lent your father, I'm going to do it myself this time. β
"What if the magician finds out?" the lady was a little worried, provoking a magician, even the viscount had to be prepared to die.
"I spent so much money not to keep that kid a secret. If he doesn't say it, the magician naturally doesn't know. Even if he knows, it's his students who are greedy for money, what does it have to do with us?"
"Guge, you are such a genius, come, come again!" the viscountess pressed her husband's head and pushed her crotch desperately. Father's investment is really right, this Guge is indeed a smart person and motivated. There are very few nobles who are so kind and motivated, so if they change someone else, they will directly kill some fishermen. Guge also knew to be ready for prisoners to take over.
