Because of listening to Shane's description, Claire still attaches great importance to this meeting, which is almost equivalent to the Minister of Defense coming to meet her in her previous life.

Dressed in the costumes of the last Princess Irene's banquet, Claire arrived at the Marquis Hubert's mansion two hours early.

It wasn't hard to find, not far from Sophia's mansion, which was the private residence of dignitaries, and Shane's house was also here.

After showing the invitation, the butler respectfully welcomed Claire in.

The architecture in the mansion is a little different from what Claire saw in Sophia, who is low-key and luxurious, and if you don't have a little knowledge, you don't know how valuable those random decorations are.

And the decorations on Hubert's side are some weapons, as well as the skulls of Warcraft and the like. Along the way, Claire saw the most specimens of the heads of mysterious monsters hanging on the walls and faintly exuding a terrifying atmosphere, as well as all kinds of big sword weapons, some rusty, and some that could be used when you picked them up.

Claire secretly said in her heart: "It seems that this Marquis Hubert is quite fond of weapons..."As soon as she finished speaking, Claire remembered that the sword of the sword saint Willy before seemed to have been bought by him for five million gold coins.

In this regard, Claire can only sigh: Rich!

If it were him, it would be absolutely impossible to spend so much money to buy a sword that could not be used, even if it was the sword of the legendary sword saint Willy.

The butler brought Claire Street to the parlor, and then ordered his servants to put some desserts and tea on the table.

Then he apologized to Claire with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, the time is my master's exercise time, you need to wait a little longer." ”

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Claire responded with a smile.

Then the butler and servants retreated, leaving Claire in the empty room.

I simply tasted the desserts and tea on the table, and the taste was okay, but it wasn't as delicate as Sophia's, but maybe people like Hubert wouldn't pay attention to these things.

After sitting for half an hour, the other party still showed no signs of coming, and Claire couldn't stay idle, so she stood up directly and wandered around the room.

There are also specimens of monster heads in this hall, as well as weapons such as armor and shields.

Claire took the tea in her hand and tasted it again and again, if you look closely, even if you don't understand these things, you can see a certain beauty, the other party is not blindly buying or placing it.

Suddenly, a majestic voice came from behind Claire, "It's okay, I've been collecting for a long time." ”

Claire was not frightened, she turned back with a gentle smile on her face, and replied, "I don't understand any of this either, just look at it, if you have to let me say it, it is quite beautiful." ”

Hubert raised an eyebrow, he didn't expect Claire to be able to maintain such composure in front of him.

Then he walked over to the sofa and waved his hand, saying, "Please be seated." ”

Claire walked over, put the teacup back on the table, and sat down in front of Hubert without any fright.

Hubert showed a cheerful smile and said, "I didn't know you came so quickly, so I was a little late and sluggish." ”

Claire waved her hand, "You're welcome, I'm here too fast, and it's affecting your schedule, Lord Marquis." ”

"Hahaha." Hubert laughed out loud, making Claire, who was not far from him, feel deafening.

"I admire you, you are quite good at talking, and you are not as hypocritical as other nobles."

Claire resisted the urge to rub her ears and replied, "You've won the prize." ”

Hubert's voice gradually stopped, his eyes fell on Claire's, and he asked softly, "Do you know why I called you over?" ”

Claire shook her head, "It's not very clear, but if there's anything that the Marquis needs my help with, I'll do it." ”

"Needless to say, I'm not used to taking advantage of others, it's better to exchange for the same price."

"It's the truth, you are a hero of the country, and it is my honor that I can help you." If she has a conscience like this, Claire will open her mouth and feel guilty at all.

"Hahaha, I'll just say you're very good at talking." Hubert let out another hearty laugh.

"Then I'll just say it, I got a message from the auction, you have a fruit in your hand that can make an intermediate mage promote to a senior mage, is there such a thing?"

"That's right, I have this fruit in my hand." The people on the other side of the auction have revealed their bottom to each other, and Claire is useless even if she wants to hide it, so it's better to be honest.

"Well, you spent eighteen million to buy this life potion before, right?" Hubert took out the dark blue vigil of life potion and placed it in front of Claire.

Claire's pupils immediately shrank, and her breathing became rapid, something he hadn't expected before he came.

Seeing Claire's performance, Hubert continued: "How about I plan to exchange this bottle of potion for that fruit with you?" ”

Claire's eyelids jumped slightly, then stabilized her mentality, and replied softly, "Yes..."

"Of course I won't let you suffer, the value of your fruit is definitely more than these five million, I will give you another five million, what do you think?" Hubert suggested.

The true value of the life potion is only five million, and the value of Claire's fruit is more than five million, but if you want to say ten million, it is not that high, so this is Claire's earning.

However, for the other party's proposal, Claire refused without thinking about it, "No need, I just happened to lack this life potion, and it is my luck that you can exchange it with me, why am I embarrassed to ask you for these five million gold coins." ”

But Claire still hasn't said a word: five million gold coins might as well have something to do with you. The improvement of relationships is the promotion of mutual troubles and indebtedness.

Hubert is not a stupid person, he can see Claire's mind at a glance, but he is also interested in making friends with Claire, not to mention that he can have this magical fruit, just because of his extraordinary relationship with Sophia, Hubert is willing to befriend him.

Again, you can not believe anyone in the royal capital, but you can't help but believe Sophia's vision, since she became the head of the family, she has never seen her lose money in any business.

Oh no! It's still a loss, that is, the time when she cooperated with Prince Albert, if it weren't for the royal family to intervene to adjust, then Sophia would almost have to tear down Prince Albert's magic shop in the royal capital.

"Okay, then I'll teach you this friend, if there's anything you need to trouble me, just say it." Hubert patted his chest and assured that although he was not short of money, five million was not a small amount of money that could be saved.

"Then you're welcome, I just need your help with something." Claire said, again, that relationships are raised between helping each other and owing to each other.

Hubert was a little surprised, and thought that Claire was some kind of short-sighted villain, and the five million just now was just to make some excessive demands here, so that he could ride the tiger hard.

"Okay, you can say it!" Hubert's tone was noticeably less friendly than it had just been.

Claire also pretended not to see it, and continued: "A small thing, I have a friend who is studying in the Knight Academy, and I want to go in and visit him, but I heard that the rules of the Knight Academy are very strict, so I want to trouble you. ”

After listening to Claire's words, Hubert immediately showed a happy smile again, it seems that he is not wrong, this kid is indeed very interested in his appetite, and he does not make any excessive requests.

So he patted his chest and promised, "No problem! I'm one of the deans of the Knight Academy, and I can still let you meet your friends. ”

"Thank you very much." Claire stood up and thanked her.

He can also go in to meet Cirian when he walks from Shane's side, but he just wants to trouble this Hubert a little, so that the two can interact more, and there will be something to chat about next time they meet.

And in the future, if the other party has some small things, he can also help a little, and when he asks, he says that it is to repay this help, and in mutual exchanges, friendship is improved in this way

This is much more than the benefits of a mere exchange of benefits.
